 '''Neutrality:''' Articles should be as written in a [[FamilySearch Wiki:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]] representing fair and without bias all significant views of family history and related topics that have been published by credible sources.
-'''Simplicity:''' Writing should be clear and simple. When a term is used that may be unfamiliar to readers (for example, "gazetteer"), it should be defined the first time it appears in the body of an article as in this sentence: "In some areas newspapers were called gazetteers."&nbsp; Avoid using specialized terms or acronyms when a common term is available. As much as possible, the information should be understandable by every reader, even when English is not the user's first language.
