<!-- I understand the point of the image but I also don't consider it to be bad for a "content team" member to be doing a science experiment, as this does not prove Brilliant doesn't use scientifically sourced information. The content in the picture is an extremely easy experiment anyone can do. If you have evidence that they don't source information through scientific sources, please post it on the wiki --!>

The wiki's voice should remain neutral and avoid loaded language or unnecessary offence. Direct attacks on individuals or companies are not permitted; malice may only be attributed through quotation and citation, never in the wiki's voice. In theme articles argumentation is allowed but should be clear, formal, and never inflammatory.
