From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
 


The goal of Wikipedia is to create an encyclopedic information source adhering to a neutral point of view, with referenced information through the citationofreliable published sources, so as to maintain a standard of verifiability.[1]

It is the responsibility of all contributors to ensure that the material posted on Wikipedia is not defamatory.

It is a Wikipedia policy to immediately delete libelous material when it has been identified. Page revisions containing libelous content should also be removed from the page history. Libelous material (otherwise known as defamation) is reasonably likely to damage a person or company's reputation and could expose Wikipedia to legal consequences.
