Being bold is important on Wikipedia.

Notes on online trainings
There are several things to keep in mind when choosing an article to edit/create in Wikipedia. The following recommendations were taken from the online videos made by Wiki Education.

1) The topic of the article has plenty of reliable sources available to back up facts or claims.

2) Articles with the label "stub" are some of the ones that require the most work.

3) If unverified or biased claims are found in the article, we should make a note to add a reference or delete the claim altogether.

4) Reliable sources include books, academic journals and peer-review publications. Blogs, personal webpages or local news paper entries should be avoided.

5) Referencing sources is very important to avoid committing plagiarism. Plagiarism and copyright violations are issues taken very seriously in Wikipedia. Close-paraphrasing is considered a form of plagiarism.

6) We should not add original research, personal opinions or unverified claims to the articles. Unless a claim is not explicitly backed up by a reliable source, we cannot include it.
