ARTICLE CREATION RULES:
- Plagiarism will not be tolerated and will ultimately result in a ban for repeat offenders; the entire article must be your own, though direct quotes are accepted in most cases (as long as they don't comprise the majority of the article's content).
- Articles should be written as factually and unbiased as possible; any articles that show obvious bias will either be edited or removed outright.
- Articles should be around 500 words minimum, unless information on the topic is scarce. Longer articles are perfectly fine if there is an abundance of information on the subject, just try not to include any excessive or unnecessary content.
- Pieces of lost media are only eligible for an article if they are relevant enough to warrant one, ie. they must be relatively known amongst the general public; if unsure of a potential article's eligibility, please contact a staff member.
USER CONDUCT:
- All users engaging in flame wars, trolling, or any other kind of offensive behaviour will receive a ban; repeat offenders will be banned permanently.
- Do not spam in an article's talk page; such behaviour will lead to a ban; repeat offenders will be banned permanently.
