Point-of-view

PoliceWiki strives for a neutral point of view. To accomplish this, please keep in mind the following style notes:

  • The use of "I", "we", or "you" in editing articles, with the exception of User pages, is discouraged. (Ex: I think this is the best Police song would be bad style on the wiki.)
  • Sometimes multiple points of view should be represented, in a fair and equal way, so that no one point of view is given more weight or suggested as more the truth than another.
  • Citations of verifiable souces should be provided whenever possible, especially on controversial topics. See Help:Citations for more information.
  • Do not delete content from an article just because you disagree with its content, unless it can be factually proven as inaccurate. If you feel an article suffers from lack of neutrality, please discuss the matter on the article's discussion page, or provide more information to the text to balance the points of view represented.
  • Articles which may suffer from lack of neutrality should be marked with the {{POV}} template.

For more information, please see PoliceWiki:Neutral point of view.

Use of templates

PoliceWiki encourages the use of the wiki's suggested Category:Article templates for building new pages. This helps ensure a consistency in how information is presented and makes the information easier to follow. However, it is understood that templates are general and may contain suggested sub-headers or sections which do not fit the topic of an article precisely, or may require more information. Please use best judgment and edit templates as necessary.
