Centiare can be a [[soapbox]] or a vehicle for propaganda and advertising. Therefore, Centiare articles are not:

# '''[[Propaganda]] or [[advocacy]]''' of any kind. Of course, an article can report objectively ''about'' such things, as long as an attempt is made to approach a [[Wikipedia:neutral point of view | neutral point of view]]. You might wish to go to [[Usenet]] or start a [[blog]] if you want to convince people of the merits of your favorite views. You can also use [[Wikinfo]] which promotes a "sympathetic point of view" for most articles.

# '''Self-promotion.''' You are free to write about yourself or projects you have a strong personal involvement in. However, do remember that the standards for encyclopedic articles apply to such pages just like any other, including the requirement to maintain a neutral point of view, which is difficult when writing about yourself. Creating overly abundant links and references to autobiographical articles is unacceptable. See [[Wikipedia:Autobiography]], [[Wikipedia:Notability]] and [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest]].

# '''Advertising.''' Articles about companies and products are acceptable if they are written in an [[Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view | objective and unbiased style]]. Furthermore, all article topics must be third-party verifiable, so articles about very small "garage" or local companies are not likely to be acceptable. External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they can serve to identify major corporations associated with a topic (see [[finishing school]] for an example). Please note Wikipedia does not endorse any businesses and it does not set up affiliate programs.
