"Facts" -> "Factual" just cause it sounds better
Line 11:
:* ''[[Wikipedia:Notability|Notable]]:'' A view is generally considered notable if it is potentially information of value or interest in some way to a significant number of people, or to some perspective, or its omission would leave a significant gap in historical human knowledge of a subject. Even minority, controversial and discredited views are often notable. Often it is valuable to see how people thought, or competing views of the time. By contrast many [[fringe]] views are not notable by this definition, because they are not ''sufficiently'' significant or had little or minor impact in their field as a whole.
:* ''[[Wikipedia:Verifiability|Verifiable]]:'' Information must be objectively verifiable, including being [[Wikipedia:cite your sources|cited]] from a credible source.
:* ''[[fact|FactsFactual]]:'' Wikipedia contains facts, not opinions, and not [[Wikipedia:original research|original research]]. Since any opinion of note has been expressed by some person or group of people, we do not try to decide or claim that an opinion is "true" or "false". We state instead, neutrally and factually, which people hold what views, and allow the facts to speak for themselves. Remember, ''Facts are never subject to consensus''.
 
For information to be included in Wikipedia, it should at a minimum be both ''notable'' and ''verifiable''.
