&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;LitWiki is a collaborative project and its founders and contributors have a common goal:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Our goal with LitWiki is to create a reliable and free encyclopedia-indeed, the largest encyclopedia in history, in both breadth and depth.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
LitWiki has some &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;policies and guidelines&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; that help us to work toward that common goal. Some of these policies are still evolving, while others are long settled and largely uncontroversial.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Key policies ==&lt;br /&gt;
The following policies are key to a productive LitWiki experience, and the sooner you get to grips with them, the better.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Avoid bias.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Articles should be written from a [[LitWiki:neutral point of view|neutral point of view]], representing differing views on a subject fairly and sympathetically.&lt;br /&gt;

Submitting work which [[Copyright infringement|infringes copyright]]s threatens our objective to build a truly free encyclopedia that anyone can redistribute, and could lead to legal problems. See [[LitWiki:copyrights|LitWiki copyrights]] for more information.&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;LitWiki is a collaborative encyclopedia&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. Its goals go no further.  See [[LitWiki:What LitWiki is not|What LitWiki is not]] for more info.&lt;br /&gt;
# &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Respect other contributors.&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; LitWiki contributors come from many different countries and cultures, and have widely different views. Treating others with respect is key to collaborating effectively in building an encyclopedia.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
