Welcome!
[edit]Hello, Tloukides ug, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Neutrality
[edit]To not take a stand on something, or to present both sides equally, in order to provide objective, unbiased information on a topic or topics.
To not take a stand on something, through inaction or indifference, or to present both sides equally, in order to provide objective, unbiased information on a topic or topics.
Evaluating Sources
[edit]A 'good' source is either objectively neutral towards a topic, or provides an insight towards some facet of implicit bias that can be noted upon.
As far a 'good' sources go, there are scholarly and primary sources, some news outlets (usually based on independent, commercial, state or focused media) and referential information sources.
'Good' sources: scholarly, primary, legal documents/sources
Excluded sources: tabloids, commercial news, corporate mouth pieces
Wiki Ed projects allow for the decentralization of information filters and sources, be that across national, lingual, ethnic, thought process/schooling or bias lines. The ability for the editing and upkeep of Wikipedia being decentralized allows for a truly open and unbiased view on topics through various lenses and ideas about said topics.
