From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CITY OF SYDNEY LIBRARY
Wikipedia is a free global information resource. It is a publication whose genre is "Encyclopaedia". Wikipedia strives to provide a fact-based, neutral, balanced account of what is known about a notable topic. "Notability" is the encyclopedia's idea of an accession policy. The first paragraph of every article is supposed to set out what makes the topic or the individual notable enough for inclusion.
This means Wikipedia is not journalism; it is not a series of essays, blogs, opinions or research papers. Wikipedia articles are not commentary; they do not make a case for any editor's point of view. They are not a forum for activism or persuasion. (See also: "What Wikipedia is not".)
