User talk:Daydreamdirty

Welcome to Wikipedia
Hello, Daydreamdirty. In seeing your edit to the Serial killer article, I need to point you to WP:Sourcing. The Characteristics section has sources for the characteristics listed there, and so should the characteristics you added. This is why I removed your additions.

I give you this list in order to help your editing here at Wikipedia:


 * 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) 23:37, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
