Contributions and Articles
Firs: Thank you for the directional links you left on my-talk. I have some minor questions I suppose they can be considered as such. My professor stated that these sites are to post articles on different events and thoughts..etc. I have written a paper on a specific crime and styles of crimes and it was stated that I should see about posting the information to a site like this. I have read here that you "shouldn't" post essays and papers like that. What then should I consider for an article for my page, new works that require editing or??? Please advise. Thank you again.

 * Hi Rainey,
 * Wikipedia is first and foremost an encyclopedia. Don't use it to write essays or publish papers; that is what peer-reviewed journals are for. Think of what is published in the World Book Encyclopedia, and you won't be far off as to what should be included in Wikipedia. Best of luck, Firsfron of Ronchester  05:50, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
