Reliable sources
""In general, the most reliable sources are peer-reviewed journals and books published in university presses; university-level textbooks; magazines, journals, and books published by respected publishing houses; and mainstream newspapers. As a rule of thumb, the greater the degree of scrutiny involved in checking facts, analyzing legal issues, and scrutinizing the evidence and arguments of a particular work, the more reliable it is. Academic and peer-reviewed publications are highly valued and usually the most reliable sources in areas where they are available, such as history, medicine and science. Material from reliable non-academic sources may also be used in these areas, particularly if they are respected mainstream publications. The appropriateness of any source always depends on the context." WP:Verifiability, June 23, 2008"

""Completed dissertations or theses written as part of the requirements for a PhD, and which are publicly available (most via interlibrary loan or from Proquest), can be used but care should be exercised, as they are often, in part, primary sources. Some of them will have gone through a process of academic peer reviewing, of varying levels of rigor, but some will not. If possible, use theses that have been cited in the literature; supervised by recognized specialists in the field; or reviewed by third parties. Dissertations in progress have not been vetted and are not regarded as published and are thus not reliable sources as a rule. Some theses are later published in the form of scholarly monographs or peer reviewed articles, and, if available, these are usually preferable to the original thesis as sources. Masters dissertations and theses are considered reliable only if they can be shown to have had significant scholarly influence."Identifying reliable sources (Scholarship)"
 * Identifying reliable sources (medicine) draft
 * "Identifying reliable sources Ideal sources for biomedical material include literature reviews or systematic reviews in reliable, third-party, published secondary sources (such as reputable medical journals), recognised standard textbooks by experts in a field, or medical guidelines and position statements from national or international expert bodies. Cite reviews, don't write them."

 * Wikipedia policies and guidelines
 * While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,.

It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required.

 * Wikipedia Manual of Style US and U.S.

""While in principle, either US or U.S. may be used (with internal consistency) to abbreviate "United States" in any given article, the use or non-use of periods (full stops) should also be consistent with other country abbreviations in the same article (thus the US, UK, and USSR, not the U.S., UK, and USSR). In longer abbreviations (three letters or more) that incorporate the country's initials (USN, USAID), do not use periods. When the United States is mentioned with one or more other countries in the same sentence, U.S. or US may be too informal, especially at the first mention or as a noun instead of an adjective (France and the United States, not France and the U.S.). Do not use the spaced U. S. or the archaic U.S. of A., except when quoting; and do not use U.S.A. or USA except in a quotation, as part of a proper name (Team USA), or in certain technical or formal uses (e.g., the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 codes and FIFA country codes).""

This feature will have no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Autopatrolled. WP:AfC WP:RFC

That feels good.

Pew Research: media polarization, trusted sources and Wikipedia's reliable sources protocol
The Wikipedia protocol regarding reliable independent sources and the protocol of maintaining neutrality are often used as arguments for deleting content, and may result in long discussions on talk pages. On these talk pages for different articles, the methodology for measuring reliability and neutrality is not always obvious. The other problem I want to avoid is having maintenance templates placed on articles to which I am contributing. These templates are unsightly and they diminish the article in the eyes of readers. I prefer to spend my volunteer time on articles themselves rather than on talk pages, so I am trying to avoid the most common pitfalls. I find Pew Research helpful. A site that is trusted by users in general does not mean it is always reliable. Oceanflynn (talk) 16:44, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Lead section
""As a general rule of thumb, a lead section should contain no more than four well-composed paragraphs and be carefully sourced as appropriate... The verifiability policy advises that material that is challenged or likely to be challenged, and direct quotations, should be supported by an inline citation. Any statements about living persons that are challenged or likely to be challenged must have an inline citation every time they are mentioned, including within the lead...and information in the lead section of non-controversial subjects is less likely to be challenged and less likely to require a source; there is not, however, an exception to citation requirements specific to leads. The necessity for citations in a lead should be determined on a case-by-case basis by editorial consensus. Complex, current, or controversial subjects may require many citations; others, few or none. The presence of citations in the introduction is neither required in every article nor prohibited in any article.""

Special characters


Two forms of dash are used on Wikipedia: en dash (–) and em dash (—). Type them in as – (–) and &mdash; (—) or click on them to the right of the "Insert" tab under the edit window; or see How to make dashes.
 * Unspaced em dash[edit]

"Another "planet" was detected—but it was later found to be a moon of Saturn." Do not use spaces with em dashes.


 * Spaced en dash

"Another "planet" was detected – but it was later found to be a moon of Saturn."

To ensure correct linewrap handling, the –  template (or its  –  shorthand) can be used:

Another "planet" was detected – but it was later found to be a moon of Saturn.

However, do not use the template where the en dash is unspaced (see § En dashes: other uses, below).

Dashes can clarify the sentence structure when there are already commas or parentheses, or both.

We read them in chronological order: Descartes, Locke, Hume—but not his Treatise (it is too complex)—and Kant.

 * editathon provides more guidance on how to set up such an event
 * Training is a hub for training materials for various audiences (see also the Education Program page at WEP)
 * The Wikipedia Library: Free resources is our subject-based list of free resources that Wikipedia is working on developing
 * all Wikimedia mailing lists provides access to all Wikimedia mailing lists - the ones I suggest are Wikipedia-Library and GLAM-US (which despite its name covers all of North America)
 * Citing sources with Zotero to go along with your discussion of EndNote - this open-source reference software integrates nicely with Wikipedia.

Geographic Location (8-way)
See 

I use this template in articles I edit. It can be used for communities, such as provinces, municipalities, unincorporated places, cities or geographic features such as oceans, rivers, lakes, and mountains. Geographic features should be in italics.

As noted in the page, the "Geographic Location (8-way) template provides for a convenient compass-based navigational aid for articles about communities. It allows you to display the communities surrounding the subject of your article. The only required field is "Centre"; the template defaults to an "(enter city)" in the centre of the box message if nothing is entered here (see note below). The fields Northwest, North,Northeast, West, East, Southwest, South, and Southeast are optional. They will be hidden when not used; when values are entered for the relevant parameters, the fields will automatically appear. (Normal Wiki markup can be used in the fields, such as links, colours, and bold/italics.) The template is coded to handle the American spelling "center". It first looks for a value in "Centre", then in "Center"; it defaults to the "(add city)" message if both are left blank. In order to ensure consistent usage, the following guidelines are suggested: Use same-level jurisdictions or equivalent in the directional fields as in the centre. For instance, when using this template for a province, show adjacent provinces; when using it for a municipality, show adjacent municipalities; when using it for unincorporated places, show adjacent unincorporated communities; etc. When a municipality borders an international, provincial, or state boundary, try to use a municipality in that adjacent jurisdiction rather than the jurisdiction itself. Geographical features such as oceans, rivers, lakes, and mountains should be in italics to differentiate them. Avoid cluttering the template with too much detail; it is a general guide, not a detailed map."

User:Redrose64 on shortened footnotes
"Chaco Culture National Historical Park, like Answer, uses . There is an easier way: the template produces output which is identical to in behaviour and appearance, but dispenses with the need for ; differing page numbers are given different ref numbers, but where a given author/year/page combination occurs more than once, they are automatically merged. See Reading Southern railway station which uses  to such an extent that although there are 59 inline references, the tag doesn't occur at all. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:54, 7 July 2011 (UTC)" Village Pump
