Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, formatting and adding images (if possible) for either a non-existent article, a stub or a very short article. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced. If you have adopted an article, please, feel free to add that information here.

{{Policylist}}

{{See also|Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Wikipedia:Writing better articles}}

The goal of Wikipedia is to become a complete, accurate encyclopaedia. The three major content policies (verifiability, no original research and a neutral point of view) and notability contain important advise and rules on how to achieve accuracy, so careful fact checking is strongly recommended. Remain objective as possible. The point and ideal of Wikipedia is to create an encyclopaedic neutral body of knowledge. Avoid using the first-person point of view (emphasising the facts; not the editor). Explain the evidence (from the links and references) and explain the reasons of any conclusions. Remember, Wikipedia is not about just writing whatever is true (See: Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not), it is about writing whatever can be verified as truth. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for why we cite sources, and Wikipedia:Citation templates for ways of citing sources properly.

{{See also|Wikipedia:Overcategorization}}

Having added an article to, say, :Category:Massacres in Bangladesh, there's no need to also add that article to :Category:War crimes in Bangladesh, :Category:Bangladesh Liberation War, :Category:History of Bangladesh or :Category:Bangladesh. The category hierarchy expresses the fact that every article about Massacres in Bangladesh is an article about War crimes in Bangladesh and an article Bangladesh Liberation War.

{{Article resources}}

The goal of Wikipedia is to become a complete, accurate encyclopedia. Verifiability is an important tool to achieve accuracy, so it is strongly recommended to check facts. However, don't be too keen to remove unverified information at the cost of completeness. 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. 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. If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it.

• Primary sources: Primary sources are original materials.
• Secondary sources: In scholarship, a secondary source is a document or recording that relates or discusses information originally presented elsewhere. Base articles largely on reliable secondary sources. (For more information, see the Primary, secondary, and tertiary sources section of the No original research policy, and the Misuse of primary sources section of the BLP policy)
• Tertiary sources: Constitute index and/or textual condensation of primary and secondary sources. Some examples of tertiary sources are almanacs, guide books, survey articles, timelines, and user guides. Depending on the topic of research, a scholar may use a bibliography, dictionary, or encyclopedia as either a tertiary or a secondary source.
