Line 86: − ===Neutral Point of View (NPOV)=== − [[Image:Wiki-Editing-Tutorial_NPOV.png|left]]Neutral Point of View (NPOV) is the way in which articles on this site and on all wiki sites should be written. That is, wiki articles should not contain any bias or unverifiable facts and opinions. This line can often be hard to define; for example, on our site we often list the services of a given company, but we try to remove any marketing spin or unverifiable language that implies these services accomplish something that their competitors do not. Generally speaking, when opinions are stated as facts, or when unappealing facts are intentionally omitted, then the article is not written from a NPOV. At ICANNWiki, we insist on including references, and generally omit articles and article sections that can not be backed up by at least one verifiable reference. We are constantly editing our articles to better adhere to our Wiki Values and improve their status as neutral articles. − + − + + + + + + + + + + + + + − + − [[Image:Wiki-Editing-Tutorial_Research.png|left]]ICW’s dynamic and rigorous nature can be attributed to the site’s emphasis on original research. Copying and pasting from another encyclopedia or resources does a disservice to your and your reader’s education. While it is okay to reformulate an idea’s concept for your own understanding, it is not okay to closely paraphrase or plagiarize. In the end, go for simplicity and don’t worry about over-explaining a concept.+ + + + + + +

==Wiki Values to Know==
'''[[ICANNWiki#Wiki_Values|Learn about additional wiki values on ICANNWiki.]]'''
===Original Research===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| '''Be a Builder''' || Strive for quality content, but don’t sweat the small stuff. Corrections can always be made. Wikis are changeable and adaptive. Take a breath and get started.
|-
| '''Be Real''' || Professionalism, trust, and community emerge when real people are involved, standing behind their work. Using your real name substantiates your commitment to "transparency" and allows others to better collaborate with you. Using your real name also generates a greater investment in your work.
|-
| '''Go With What You Know''' || Writers with passion and knowledge have made ICANNWiki the resource it is today. Believing in your work and approaching an article with a certain studiousness or interest will ensure that at a baseline, your work will be inspired and readworthy. There are no barriers to your participation at ICANNWiki, if you want to build it, go ahead! Hit that edit button!
