==Reliability of Halachipedia==

<p style="text-indent: 2em">A question that I've gotten from many people is whether there's any Posek or Rabbi who looks over everything on the website and how do you know that everything on the site is reliable. So to address this I want to ask clearly that although there's no Rabbi who's officially in charge of checking over everything on the website, every edit that's made on the site is checked thoroughly for accuracy. Almost every day I check a special page that collects all the edits for any page on the site and whenever I see a new edit, especially, if it's a new user or someone I don't know, I make sure to read it over and see if it's accurate. If I have the time or if I'm skeptical I look up the sources for the halacha that was added and go from there. I'm not biased to anyone's edits but I'm just interested in maintaining accuracy and if you have good sources, all the better, however, if there's no source, Halachipedia's policy is that the halacha has to be taken down. </p>

<p style="text-indent: 2em">Just to clarify there are one page halachic articles that are put out in Yeshiva University from the contributors of Halachipedia and these one page articles ahave been looked over by Rabbi Mordechai Willig. To view these articles see the [[Halachipedia Articles]] page. However, that does not mean that everything on the website (most of which is not found on in the above articles) was looked over by Rabbi Willig.</p>
