# How to use this wiki > Each article states a claim, quotes the texts it uses, and lists its sources. A short page is not a finished library. - Canonical: https://apologetics.wiki/how-to-use-this-wiki - Religions: none - Denominations: none - Beliefs: Other - Tags: meta, reading - Updated: 2026-10-09 - Author: [Paul Ambrose](https://apologetics.wiki/author/hi-its-paul) ([GitHub](https://github.com/hi-its-paul)) Each article states one claim, quotes the texts that claim uses, and lists those works under References. A short page is a starting point with citations. It is not a commentary, a fatwa, a debate transcript, or a verdict on a person’s soul. ## Key points - Shelves match the subject: [Islam](/islam), [Judaism](/judaism), [Christian Science](/christian-science), [Unitarian Universalism](/unitarian-universalism), [Jehovah’s Witnesses](/jehovahs-witnesses), [Latter-day Saints](/latter-day-saints), [Atheism](/atheism), and the shared confession under [Christianity](/christianity). - An article opens with a direct answer and Key points, then the other community’s words and the Christian claim. A page that compares Trinitarian churches on a question they dispute among themselves quotes each church and does not add a verdict. [Can you lose your salvation?](/christianity/once-saved-always-saved) is that kind of page. - When an article names a verse, those words are the link, as in [John 1:1](/bible/john/1/1). Scripture on this site is the King James Version. - Another community’s text, such as [Qur’an 4:157](https://quran.com/an-nisa/157), shows the wording on this page. The link opens that passage. - [1 Peter 3:15](/bible/1-peter/3/15) says to give a reason for the hope with meekness and fear. [Charity in disagreement](/charity-in-disagreement) is that sentence, not a softer doctrine. - The public map for programs is [llms.txt](/llms.txt). Changes to the wiki are a [GitHub pull request](/contribute). ## What a page contains The articles are written from a Trinitarian Christian standpoint. God is one: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus is God. He was crucified, buried, and raised. A page that describes another religion quotes that community’s materials. The words are on the page. The link stays beside them. A claim without a source in the article is not upgraded by repeating the page. Scripture references are the passages named. They are not a license to invent the wording of a translation that is not open. Quote a line from a text the page points to. ## What a page does not contain The same limits apply to a person and to a program. Cite the page and the sources that page lists. A quotation, a date, or a scholarly consensus has to be one the article already states. [Charity in disagreement](/charity-in-disagreement) is the rule of speech: the reason is required, and so is gentleness, and the disagreement is not pretended away. ## Keep reading - [Charity in disagreement](/charity-in-disagreement) - [The Trinity](/christianity/the-trinity) - [The resurrection of Jesus](/christianity/resurrection-of-jesus) ## Passages quoted on this page ### John 1:1 King James Version. > In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ### Qur’an 4:157 Saheeh International.

And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the following of assumption. And they did not kill him, for certain. ### 1 Peter 3:15 King James Version. > But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: ## Sources Numbered to match the HTML References list.
