User talk:Katepageau

Hi Kate!

I'm sending this message to you via email in addition leaving an identical note on your discussion board, too (which is the way wikipedia users generally prefer to communicate) in case you don't happen to check back too often.

Anyways, Wikipedia is the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. So, the good news is that there is no need to ask anyone's permission or even assistance when adding links or information to an article.

Unfortunately, to deal with vandalism, many articles have to be 'semi-protected', which basically means you can't edit them unless you are a registered user. But since you are, you should have no problem!

One other thing though....the goal of Wikipedia is to create an encyclopedia. Things to keep in mind when discussing companies/products:

* Neutral Point of View: All Wikipedia articles and other encyclopedic content must be written from a neutral point of view, representing views fairly, proportionately and without bias. This also means that information should not be included * Reliable Sources: The information about the product should draw from a neutral, reliable, third-party source. It should contain no 'original research', that is, it shouldn'tpropose unpublished ideas or arguments

Also, make sure that you don't violate any copyright laws, like copying information verbatim from a website or promotional materials.

Otherwise, as they say on wikipedia, BE BOLD! Which, incidentally is the thing I happen to be worst at as a Wikipedian....

Cheers and happy editing!
