Quick-start checklist
- Topic fits our scope (people, organizations, businesses, creative works, or notable stories) and meets notability (below).
- Tone is neutral and verifiable; avoid promotion, opinion, or original research.
- Every significant claim has a reliable, published source in
<ref>…</ref>. - Lead section summarizes the subject in 1–2 concise paragraphs; first bold mention of the subject name.
- Sections are clear (e.g., “Early life”, “Career”, “Works”, “Recognition”, “Controversies”, “References”).
- Images are licensed appropriately and include a caption + source; fair-use only with a rationale (see Rights).
- Biographies of living people use high-quality sources; avoid private/defamatory details; promptly remove unsourced claims.
Scope and notability
Roovet Articles highlights often overlooked people, businesses, organizations, and stories. Subjects should have one or more of:
- Significant coverage by independent, reliable sources (newspapers, magazines, books, academic works).
- Multiple independent mentions across reputable outlets that establish context and significance.
- For small/local subjects: at least one solid independent feature + additional corroboration (press, directories, archives).
What doesn’t qualify:
- Pure promo/advertorial, self-published puff pieces, or directories with no meaningful coverage.
- Claims that cannot be verified with published sources.
Reliable sourcing
Prefer high-quality, independent publications. Acceptable examples:
- Reputable news outlets, books from notable publishers, peer-reviewed journals, respected trade publications.
- Government/official records (for basic facts like dates, filings).
- Subject’s official site/socials only for non-contentious facts (addresses, launch dates, staff lists) and must be identified as “official”.
Avoid or treat with caution:
- Self-published blogs, low-quality aggregation sites, AI-generated pages with no editorial oversight.
- Press releases and paid content—use chiefly for straightforward, non-controversial facts and label as such.
Verifiability and citations
All significant facts must be supported with inline citations.
How to cite (simple)
You can place plain references:
This claim is supported by reporting.<ref>Article title — Publication, date, URL. Accessed YYYY-MM-DD.</ref>
If citation templates are available on your wiki, you may also use them:
<ref>{{cite web |title=Article title |url=https://example.com |website=Publication |date=2025-10-31 |access-date=2025-11-01}}</ref>
At the bottom of the page (or in a “References” section) include:
== References == <references />
Original research
Do not add unpublished claims, private correspondence, or your own conclusions. If it’s not in a reliable source, leave it out.
Neutral, clear writing
- Neutral point of view: describe, don’t endorse. Attribute opinions: “According to The Times, …”
- Avoid hype and weasel words: “leading,” “best,” “groundbreaking” → replace with sourced facts.
- First sentence: bold the subject’s name and identify the topic clearly.
- Tense and dates: past for past events; include precise dates when known (e.g., 2025-11-01).
- Names and transliterations: use the form most commonly used by reliable English sources; mention alternatives if relevant.
Article structure
A typical biography or company page might use:
'''Subject Name''' (born YYYY) is a … (what/where/why notable). == Early life and education == … == Career == … == Works == <!-- albums, films, books, products, etc. --> … == Recognition == … == References == <references /> [[Category:People]] [[Category:Organizations]]
Infoboxes and quick facts
If your wiki doesn’t have infobox templates yet, a simple wikitable is fine:
{| class="infobox"
! colspan="2" | Subject Name
|-
! Born
| March 1, 1990
|-
! Occupation
| Entrepreneur; Producer
|-
! Website
| [https://example.com example.com]
|}
Images and media
- Only upload media you have rights to use. See Rights & licensing.
- Provide a descriptive filename, caption, and source/credit.
- Fair use (logos, album covers, frames) is allowed only when necessary to identify the subject; include a brief rationale on the file’s page explaining why it’s needed and why no free alternative exists.
- Include alt text in the caption when possible (briefly describe the image content).
Biographies of living people (BLP)
- Use high-quality, independent sources for all contentious or potentially harmful claims.
- Avoid publishing private details (home addresses, personal phone numbers); use discretion for minors and non-public figures.
- Remove unsourced or poorly sourced negative material immediately. When in doubt, leave it out and discuss on the Talk page.
External links
- Keep links few and relevant: official website, major profile pages (e.g., authority files), and the best independent overview.
- Do not add linkfarms, affiliate links, or low-quality directories.
Conflicts of interest
If you are closely connected to a subject (employee, PR, family, paid editor), disclose this on the Talk page and use high-quality independent sources. Prefer suggesting changes on Talk rather than editing directly.
Using AI and automation
AI tools can help draft text or suggest structure, but:
- Every fact must be verified in reliable sources before publishing.
- Do not paste model outputs that include fabricated citations or details.
- Maintain neutrality; AI-suggested phrasing should be reviewed like any other contribution.
Disputes and corrections
Use the article’s Talk page to propose significant changes or resolve disagreements. For urgent issues (privacy, legal, defamation), email article@roovet.com.
