=== Writing definitions neutrally ===

(talk about NPOV in this section)

=== Things that should and should not be here ===
(text for scope of the project goes here)At Wiktionary, it is very important to write definitions from a neutral point of view. This means that all definitions should not be biased towards or against a person or a group of people, even if you have such views. Definitions should explain views of different people and not judge who is correct or not.

Generally, you should be writing definitions as you are trying to teach someone, but not to influence how he/she thinks of an issue.

Wiktionary is a dictionary with the goal of providing definitions in a freely-accessible and open way. Pages you see on this wiki are all definitions in simpler English that explain the different words we have in the English Language.

Occasionally, we get things that do not fit well into this dictionary. While we try to make all contributions become better as definitions, some may be too off-topic to fix. Such content may be discussed about with the community or even '''deleted'''. We want to provide simple definitions in the nicest way possible, removing all the unnecessary content around it.
