 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Manual of Style


 * PS: I don't understand the purpose of your edits to Jack Weiss. Among other things, you broke the citation system. I suggest you start a new thread on the talk page, talk:Jack Weiss, to explain what you were doing. Otherwise the previous version is likely to be restored


 * Also, I saw the page you're drafting for Nick Karno, User:Davidjacobson2010/new article name here, and I want to let you know that, in its present form, it is not an acceptable biography. First, much of it appears to be copied from his campaign biography. Second, it is not neutral. Third, it lacks 3rd-party sources which are needed to establish the subject's notability. Finally, the writing style is not encyclopedic. I suggest you read some more biographies of local politicians to see how they are usually written. Feel free to drop me a note on my user talk page if you have any questions.   Will Beback    talk    23:03, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Nick Karno Bio
I have moved the Nick Karno Bio back to your user space because it is nowhere near being in proper shape for a Wikipedia biography, and the alternative would have been deleting it. Please read some other biographies of comparable individuals for examples of how such articles should be written and sourced. Please also read WP:BLP, WP:V, and WP:NPOV, as the current draft does not meet any of these core policies. I'm leaving the computer now, but can discuss the details with you later, if you like.

 * I had some trouble finding another candidate bio, because folks usually aren't notable just because they run for a legislature . The relevant notability guideline is WP:POLITICIAN, and it doesn't look like Karno would qualify. Phil Maymin might be a comparable biography, though even he doesn't appear to meet the notability guideline. It's also non-compliant because it embeds externals links in the text. However it's a reasonable model for tone, length, and number of secondary sources. Unless there's more you can add to the Karno bio to establish his notability my suggestion would be to keep the draft where it is pending significant press coverage of his campaign. Feel free to drop me a note if I can help you with it.    Will Beback    talk    20:56, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
