Summary of "Biographies Subject Guide"
There were few important points that I pulled from the subject guide on editing biographies. To start, it is crucial that you understand Wikipedia's guidelines before editing the biography at all. These guidelines can help you avoid make mistakes regarding tone, balance, style, etc. The guide also warns editors of errors such as close paraphrasing and adding a biased tone to the piece. Keeping these warnings in mind, the guide also encourages writers to "be bold" and to make whatever contribution they see fit. The final key point was to engage with other editors, which it important for cross-checking information and producing the best final product possible. Overall, the guide pushes editors to edit with Wikipedia's guidelines in place, filling up articles with credible information, but at the same time, being confident and adventurous with the edits made.
