Thanks for your excellent contribution to this article. I do have a couple of thought about it that I hope you'll find helpful.


 * Try to avoid using too many superlatives. Generally speaking, a superlative is an opinion, and opinions in Wikipedia articles need to be supported using a citation from a reliable source.  One or two of the more obviously true opinions can get by, but in general, it's better to be muted and more encyclopedic in tone.


 * Wikipedia is not considered to be a reliable source, so you should not cite other Wikipedia articles. If you see a fact in another article, and the fact is sourced there, you can copy that into the article you're working on, there's nothing wrong with that.


 * When you use the same citation again, you should avoid doing a complete recitation. Instead give the previous citation a name, like this:  , and then in the second (and later) citations, recall the previous citation by using this:   . (Note that there is no closing   tag.)


 * We try to avoid overlinking whenever we can. If a subject is already linked in the article, and the link is relatively nearby, there's no need to link it again.  Also, some editors (not myself) would object to putting an article that's linked already into the "See also" section.  Personally, I think it's OK to do this sometimes, but you should be aware of the bias against this, and avoid doing it unless you think it's important -- and be prepared for it to be removed.


 * Only the first word of a section title should be capitalized, except for proper names.

That's about it. Thanks again for your contribution, and welcome to Wikipedia. BMK (talk) 00:20, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
