1. What Kind of Articles Can You Write?
Wikinp accepts two main types of articles:
Biographical & Organizational Articles
Articles about people, institutions, companies, or organizations must meet strict verification standards.
- Minimum three reliable sources are required
- At least one source must be from Wikinp’s Verified Sources list: wikinp.org/wiki-sources
- Remaining sources must be independent national or international media, academic publications, or official government records
Important: The article subject, their family members, employees, staff, or organizations cannot be used as sources. Self-written articles, personal websites, blogs, PR content, or paid news are never accepted.
Cultural, Geographic & Public Heritage Articles
Articles about places, festivals, ethnic traditions, local culture, or public heritage may use a mix of reliable documentation and verified local knowledge.
- Independent local news sources are allowed if editorially independent
- Strong claims still require strong references
- Content must always be written in original words
