CZ:What Citizendium articles are not: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 11:53, 3 April 2007

Citizendium articles are intended to be encyclopedia articles. Accordingly, there are many things that they are not:

Dictionary definitions. A mere definition, or list of senses of a word, is not useful as an encyclopedia article. May be deleted.
Advertisement. Articles that paint companies, products, books, and other marketable items in typical marketing terms are not encyclopedia articles, they are ad copy. See Policy on Self-Promotion. May be deleted.
