Standards and advice relating to contents

We can write in many ways on the same topic. As with any collective work, it is better to aggree on a harmonised way to display data. This is of considerable help for readers. The following pages present the standards used by default, i.-e. before a large community of collaborators is in a position to discuss them. We privilege the usage of scientific community (although it can vary). For general matters, we follow the standards of Wikipedia, but this is in no case a principle.

If you wish to discuss about a particular standard, do it in the discussion page linked to any page. Give precise and referenced arguments, as we wish to avoid turning everything upside down at any moment.
