This goes without saying, but <span style="color:#FA0004"><u>'''never put your personal opinions on any informational (any non-discussion) page!'''</u></span> The Galaxypedia's informational pages serve only as an article of information from which the reader is able to make their own decisions and conclusions based on the information; not articles holding opinionated information | This goes without saying, but <span style="color:#FA0004"><u>'''never put your personal opinions on any informational (any non-discussion) page!'''</u></span> The Galaxypedia's informational pages serve only as an article of information from which the reader is able to make their own decisions and conclusions based on the information; not articles holding opinionated information which then spreads the personal bias to others. This is also stated in the [[Galaxypedia:Terms of Service#4.3_General_Editing_Guidelines|Galaxypedia Terms of Service: General Editing Guidelines]]. An example of subjective information: "The [[Zhen]], while powerful, is more expensive than your average [[:Category:Dreadnought|dreadnought]]. You would be better off buying a dreadnought instead." | ||
The only time you may put subjective information on a page is if it is acceptable within the editing format used for the type of page or related to the article topic, ''and'' there is some type of clearly visible disclaimer stating that the information is subjective. If you are unsure whether or not you can put subjective information on a page, do not hesitate to contact [[Galaxypedia Staff]]. | The only time you may put subjective information on a page is if it is acceptable within the editing format used for the type of page or related to the article topic, ''and'' there is some type of clearly visible disclaimer stating that the information is subjective.
