Gaiapedia:Policy/Manual of Style

Bias, Point of View Problem, Disputes
Articles on Gaiapedia should always be neutral. Sometimes there might be controversial topics or events that the source may be biased. If you see a biased article and you think that may be bias, put the  tag at the top of the article.

'''Please show two points of view, meaning don't be a hypocrite. Show the reader all sides to make it neutral.'''

Ways to stay Neutral

 * 1) Do not only provide one point of view, but all relevant viewpoints as necessary.
 * 2) Support your article with actual facts.
 * 3) Use a reliable source.

Ways to detect Bias
There are ways to detect if the article is biased. Here's how.
 * 1) The article only provides one point of view.
 * 2) Facts come from the source may be biased.
 * 3) Is the article lack diversity?
 * 4) Do the facts in the article have to deal with the article?

Cleaning up Bias
Cleaning up Bias may be difficult, but it can be done.
 * 1) Gather facts from other perspectives or another points of view.
 * 2) Make sure your sources are not biased.
 * 3) Support your facts with valid sources.
 * 4) Never use user comments.
 * 5) Make sure your facts deal with the article

Quality Standards
We want to provide the best and accurate information for our visitors. If you spot a article that is not written correctly or it's inaccurate, you should improve the article and cite your sources. Inaccurate information will mislead the reader and he/she will get the wrong information. If you see inaccuracy, use the tag. If the article is unneeded, you can request the article for deletion.

Frequent Edit Articles
To prevent the overload of the Recent Changes page we do not allow articles which must be edited constantly to update information. This would be a section that may list certain users relevant to an article, or marketplace values that would need to be updated repeatedly.

Large Scale Similarity articles
We do not allow articles such as theories about events on The Gaiapedia. If we allowed someone to add a article on their theory then we would have to allow the same for any other theory. This would overload our main namespace and ruin the organization and fact of the Wiki. Thus we do not allow articles of that type. But we may allow links to threads about theories to be pasted into a Theories section of an article on a upcoming event.
