WikiIndex:Policies and Guidelines: Difference between revisions

:I prefer to quote sources, but this is not customary here. So sometimes I write like "Bob claims that...", but this comes across as suspicious and can be very repetitive when everything is a claim I heard somewhere. Wikipedia's policy is probably the best compromise I can think of at the moment. References can be simple web links in the body of articles since this wiki doesn't really look like it is made for paper. Note that since WikiIndex inclusion policy is broader than Wikipedia, many sources will be self-published sources (Wikipedia ordinary does not allow these) who are only considered "reliable" for info such as describing their own intentions for their wiki's, etc. [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 16:50, 10 September 2009 (EDT)

:I think so. I think we should allow putting the "signatures" into the articles (as Lumenos does here using this "<nowiki>~~~</nowiki>" wiki markup code) if there is no link or reference that can be easily provided or when there is a reference but it is too long for most to read to find the relevant information. Newbies may not understand what these names are but I value accuracy and I think it is not too difficult to understand or it least, it shouldn't be too distracting if they want to ignore it. What do you think? [[User:Lumenos|Lumenos]] 16:50, 10 September 2009 (EDT)
