Rules will Never Bind us

“ Rules and regulations... cannot be endowed with the fixity of rock-ribbed law. They are meant for the average case, and must be applied with a certain degree of elasticity. ”

Rules can be broken and ought be broken but there are certain principles that should never be without justifiable reasons:

NPOV Write with a neutral, unbiased, objective point of view Verifiability & WP:OR Verify information by citing reliable sources; content must have been published prior to being on Wikipedia Summary: Verifiable... means that any reader should be able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source. The burden of evidence lies with the editor who adds or restores material. Any material that is challenged... needs a reliable source... If an article topic has no reliable, third-party sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on it. Any edit lacking a source may be removed... Jimmy Wales has said of this: "I can NOT emphasize this enough. There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative 'I heard it somewhere' pseudo information is to be tagged with a 'needs a cite' tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. This is true of all information...

Editors should try to familiarize themselves with all three.

Useful Tools:

{{Fact}} to request citation for a statement {{Unsourced}} to request sources for an article or section {{Verify}} to indicate that some information has not been verified and may not be reliable {{Npov}} to dispute neutrality of an article {{Bias}} to nominated an article to be checked for its neutrality {{Notability}} to express concern that the subject of the article does not satisfy notability guidelines {{Expand}} to request expansion of an article {{Prod}} to propose an article for deletion. Use Subst:Prod|Insignificant Topic and/or Notability {{Db}} to propose an article for speedy deletion.
