Want to help with Naruto articles?
If you're new to Wikipedia and want to help out with Naruto articles, it might be a little difficult for you at first. Let me quickly step you over the a few of the most common speedbumps.
 * The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth.  See Verifiability.
 * What this basically means for Naruto articles is that anything not mentioned explicitly in the anime or manga can generally not be included inside articles. It also means that "leaked" information, early spoiler pics or other dubious information through secondary sources that cannot be verified are also inappropriate.  For more information on what secondary sources can be used, see Reliable sources.


 * Be bold in updating pages, but don't be hurt if your changes are undone. See Be bold.
 * Wikipedia works by building consensus, which you can read more about at Consensus. Basically, this process always starts with someone making a change, and then all the other editors watching the page either deciding to leave it there or delete it.  Don't be hurt if your edit was deleted, just refer to the Consensus page and see what your next step should be.


 * Wikipedia is free content, so any copyrighted content, such as screenshots, can only be included under tight restrictions. See Non-free content.
 * We used to have a whole lot more pictures on Naruto articles. The Category:Naruto images used to have 800 pictures in it.  This has been cut down to a small fraction recently and not everyone is happy about it.  Basically, we can get away with one image per article.  Extra images must have strong fair-use justifications.  Simply making the article better to look at and less "wordy" is no longer a good excuse.

For help with finding something to do, you can head over to the Portal:Naruto page. I don't spend much time here, but this is a page where other users are collaborating in an attempt to make all Naruto articles better as a whole. They would likely appreciate the help. –Gunslinger47 00:53, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
