|style="vertical-align: middle; padding: 3px;" | When editing genealogy-related articles and genealogical information on Wikipedia, keep in mind the following:
* '''[[WP:NOTGENEALOGY|Wikipedia is not a genealogy]].''' Family histories should be presented only where appropriate to support the reader's understanding of a [[WP:N|notable]] topic.
* '''Do not contribute [[WP:OR|original research]] to Wikipedia.''' Sources to verify genealogical information in Wikipedia should follow Wikipedia's [[WP:V|verifiability]] guidelines.
If you have questions about how these guidelines relate to an article you are editing, post your questions on the article's talk page or on [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Genealogy|this WikiProject's talk page]].
