Introduction
'This is not an article. It is a resource of notes which might be useful for the article Xeni Jardin'

''This page is intended to build up information about Xeni Jardin which would be useful for expanding the article on her. All entries must be referenced, preferably using Footnotes, but if this is a problem, just put full reference info in brackets after the text, i.e. a newspaper article accessed online should have in this order 1) name of author 2) web URL 3) title of article 4) title of paper 5) date of paper 6) date accessed.''

''As this is a biography of a (living) person, the need is for a narrative of facts about her life, rather than other people's comments about her life, which as a general rule should be restricted to the "comments" section. It is assumed that editors will be acting in good faith in order to help construct an informative article from an objective point of view. Some headings have been created for text. Please feel free to add to or amend these.

It is requested that editors do not delete or amend other editors' contributions, although comments on any factual inaccuracies are welcome in a separate section.''

Against
''Please be judicious in adding here. Editors whose only contribution is an excess in this section will not help their crebility. It is suggested that editors only add to this section if they also add useful material to other sections. Referencing is particularly important. Credible 3rd party sources, such as national media, are advised. Criticisms to which Jardin has responded should be shown with her response to them.'' Start text here and overwrite this.

Comments on factual inaccuracies
''If you see a factual inaccuracy, please note it here. If the editor agrees, they can make the amendment. If not, it is on record and can be discussed later, when it comes to writing the article again.'' Start text here and overwrite this.
