What Wikipedia is not

In Wikipedia, verifiability means that people reading and editing the encyclopedia can check
that the information comes from a reliable source. Wikipedia does not publish original
research. Its content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs
or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before
you can add it.[1] When reliable sources disagree, present what the various sources say, give
each side its due weight, and maintain a neutral point of view.
All material in Wikipedia mainspace, including everything in articles, lists and captions, must
be verifiable. All quotations, and any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is
likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation that directly supports the material. Any
material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed. Please remove
contentious material about living people that is unsourced or poo
