Accuracy

 * All encyclopedic content must be correct, up-to-date, and externally verifiable.
 * Statements are "externally verifiable" only if they can be reasonably proved in a way that is independent of the project.


 * Encyclopedic content should be presented in a neutral fashion.
 * It is not our role to make judgements about the validity of any viewpoints, no matter how admirable or ridiculous they might seem. Let facts speak for themselves.
 * Contentious claims should be attributed to their proponents, not stated as fact: "Z says X is Y" is preferable to "X is Y".
 * The fact–opinion distinction should be made abundantly clear to readers.

Balance
Balance is an extension of the accuracy principle: it pertains to accurate representation. For content to be balanced, all significant viewpoints on an issue must be presented in a way that is proportional to their prominence and acceptance in human society today.

Readability

 * coherent narratives

Exclusion criteria
Material that


 * poses a significant legal risk to the project, or
 * has negligible educational value

is inappropriate for Knowino.
