Welcome to Wikipedia
Hello, Osborn18. I see that you are a new editor to Wikipedia. For information about Wikipedia in order to help your editing here, I give you this list:


 * 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.

Take care, and welcome to Wikipedia. Flyer22 (talk) 05:31, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
