Don't write anything that breaches copyright - this includes using images off the Internet. You may put it in your own words and give the source as a reference for important information or to give a direct quote from with a citation. Do not write anything not notable - e.g. the results of the local school festival. It's boring and no-one is ever going to read it, and an administrator will delete it as vanity. Don't write any original research. You may be Albert Einstein, but don't put anything on Wikipedia until somebody else publishes it. Even that way it's not recommended to write an article because you have a conflict of interest (COI). Sometimes, the objections to new information in Wikipedia become rationalized censorship, and it may get deleted. Wikipedia needs to be understood by the masses; submitting highly intellectual or specialized articles may be called vanity and runs the danger of "casting pearls before swine" and your article may be heavily edited, or in extreme cases, deleted. Don't write anything unverifiable - e.g. a new word that just you and your friends use. Administrators will check your article, and if it is not verifiable, it will be deleted. Recognize that Wikipedia is a social group, with potential committee-style negotiations to get information accepted; if someone gets a bad attitude, the information will almost certainly be rejected. Wikipedia can sometimes seem more about consensus than about truth: if the majority of people consider something to be false, it can get deleted, even if you know that it is true. Don't try to re-create a deleted article unless you have a good reason--like if the article was not done properly before, but now you are doing it correctly--otherwise it will be deleted again, and you may be blocked by an admin for doing edits that are not conductive to the best interests of Wikipedia. Pages can also be deleted if they were previously deleted per consensus. In some cases it is better to have an outside entity write your article. This is due to the fact that a third-party may be more disinterested and write in a more neutral and objective way. Additionally, Wikipedia editors strive for what is called the Neutral Point of View (NPOV). Articles must be encyclopedic in style and should not take a for or against stance on the subject matter. In other words, the goal in Wikipedia writing is to remain unbiased, much like a traditional encyclopedia article.
