"Write about what is verifiable, rather than what you or someone happens to

know 100.000% about reality, or history, or culture, or any area. We do
know
what credible students of reality, history and culture have concluded and
without dipping into philosophy, that is what we document.
The soundbite I use is that "Wikipedia outsources truth". The debate about
what is or isn't true is not ours but is played out amongst the various
sources that we can draw upon as references.
