User talk:Bwsulliv

Not exactly new...but welcome anyway
Hello, Bwsulliv. In seeing your edits to the Vegetarianism article, I see that you have been editing Wikipedia since 2006 but still currently have relatively few edits, and have not talked on Wikipedia under this account. You are probably already well-versed in how some things on Wikipedia work, as you are clearly already familiar with properly formatting references. But just in case you need the extra help, I give you this list in order to help your editing here:


 * 1) What Wikipedia is not, which summarizes what belongs in Wikipedia and what does not;
 * 2) Neutral point of view, which describes Wikipedia's mandatory core approach to neutral, unbiased article-writing;
 * 3) No original research, which prohibits the use of Wikipedia to publish personal views and original research of editors and defines Wikipedia's role as an encyclopedia of existing recognized knowledge;
 * 4) Verifiability, which explains that it must be possible for readers to verify all content against credible external sources (following the guidance in the Risk disclaimer that is linked-to at the bottom of every article);
 * 5) Reliable sources, which explains what factors determine whether a source is acceptable;
 * 6) Citing sources, which describes the manner of citing sources so that readers can verify content for themselves; and
 * 7) Manual of Style, which offers a style guide—in general editors tend to acquire knowledge of appropriate writing styles and detailed formatting over time.

These are often abbreviated to WP:NOT, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, WP:V, WP:RS, WP:CITE, and WP:MOS respectively.

Also, you need to always sign your comments when "talking" on Wikipedia talk pages. To sign your comments, all you have to do is type four tildes beside them.

Take care, and welcome to Wikipedia. Flyer22 (talk) 06:03, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
