==Structure of articles with multiple theories ==
We aspire to present topics about which there are multiple narratives in one narrative. For example, an article on an event or biography should explain the known information in the typical way that an encyclopedia article might, i.e. chronologically. The claims regarding a given time interval are all described in the section for that time interval.
It is preferable to present topics about which there are multiple narratives as if there is a single narrative or reality. For example, an article on an event or biography might use a roughly chronological narrative or timeline for articles such as events and biographies. For such an article, the claims regarding any given time interval — and the [[Ikwipedia:Acceptable sources|ultimate source]] of each claim, whether [[Ikwipedia:Testimonial accounts|witness testimony]] or other [[Ikwipedia:Evidence|evidence]] — should ideally all be described in the section for that time interval.

Structure of articles with multiple theories

It is preferable to present topics about which there are multiple narratives as if there is a single narrative or reality. For example, an article on an event or biography might use a roughly chronological narrative or timeline for articles such as events and biographies. For such an article, the claims regarding any given time interval — and the ultimate source of each claim, whether witness testimony or other evidence — should ideally all be described in the section for that time interval.
