Interested in the matters of history and culture "Let there be Peace, Justice and Concord on Wikipedia" - Not the United Nations We are building a workgroup and eventually a project that promotes fairness on Wikipedia, still at a very early stage (founder: Wikieditor662, members: RogerYg and me). Anyone who wants to join can add their name to Wikieditor662's user page. If you are a new user and need some support, or you are an experienced editor who gets tired with being crowded out by people who act unreasonably and step on Wikipedia's own policies, please contact. Note that we are not administrators. Here are some Wikipedia guideline pages I think will benefit new editors to look at, when they want to defend their new pages or edits or opinions: Notability/GNG. Pay attention to General notability guideline (when someone says your article fails GNG, they mean this one) But especially Significant coverage (WP:SIGCOV): ensure that your topics have decent coverage in scholarly works or the media (especially these green sources mentioned here, for the media). Generally, but especially regarding the scholarly sources, pay attention to the matter of self-published sources. Wikipedia does not ban self-publishing sources, but it can only be used in a limited way (only when it comes from the subject themselves, but avoid promotion content; in any case, all articles should be built on mostly third-party, high quality sources). Verifiability If the subject is a living person, please notice that biographies of living persons have additional requirements, and contentious materials that are backed by a single source or a few fringe sources tend to be deleted. If they are a professor/scholar, see WP:PROF, as there are specific sets of requirements. If you want to see how rules and guidelines are often interpreted in practice, it is useful to look at these kinds of debates: Wikipedia deletion debates by countries and topics If you meet an user with ideas different from yours, try to engage with them directly through dispute resolution (use the page's Talk page or that user's own user page), but if the user displays behavioural problems that you believe might violate Wikipedia policies, you can bring it to noticeboards: Administrators' noticeboard In all cases, even if you face a very annoying user, don't step on this important rule: Three reverts (3rr)
