When writing for Wikishire, after taking other policies into consideration, articles must adopt a neutral point of view. This means representing fairly, proportionately, and without editorial bias, significant views that have been published by reliable sources.

Essentially, this is achieved by the following principles:

  • Choose article titles based on Wikishire's naming policy
  • Avoid stating opinions as facts.
  • Avoid stating seriously contested assertions as facts.
  • Avoid stating facts as opinions.
  • Prefer non-judgmental language.
  • Indicate the relative prominence of opposing views.

If a dispute arises, then the Administrative users are the ultimate arbiters.
