 * Another good source is Google Books. Just be sure to aim for books published by university presses, or anything by Brill. Ian.thomson (talk) 03:08, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

what is this user page thing am i suppose to set it up or did i just click on something i shouldn't have? Khristey (talk) 03:11, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
 * You can leave it blank, or you can put some basic information about yourself so that editors may get a general idea of how you might help the site (for example, the general part of the world you live in lets editors have some idea as to when you might not be on, and a small list of interests might let them know what sort of articles you might be able to help with). Our user page guidelines may be found here. Ian.thomson (talk) 03:13, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

can u upload a pic of yourself? Khristey (talk) 03:17, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
 * It is possible, but I don't think I've ever uploaded any pics so I can't really advise you how to do it. The site is a little restrictive as to why pictures may be used, since we're not a social network. A stable pic or two to emphasize that there is a human behind the profile never really causes any trouble, more pics and constantly changing pics would be discouraged.

yeah thats why i was thinking about adding one at first i thought the message i got was from a computer lol im having issues with the user page tho Khristey (talk) 03:23, 13 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Try to avoid leaving a space at the beginning of a line, it causes things to format in some weird way that I don't know why we have. If you want to indent, put a : at the beginning of the line.  Conversations often indent four, five, or six times, and then move back to the first line with an  template, that does this:

A reminder of important site policies and guidelines, as your ISP may choose to roll your current IP address over to someone else in the future

 * Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, use, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
 * "Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
 * We do not publish original thought nor original research. We're not a blog, we're not here to promote any ideology.
 * A subject is considered notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
 * Reliable sources typically include: articles from magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards.  User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided.  Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
 * Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources.  Real scholarship actually does not say what understanding of the world is "true," but only with what there is evidence for.  In the case of science, this evidence must ultimately start with physical evidence.  In the case of religion, this means only reporting what has been written and not taking any stance on doctrine.
