Wikipedia's conventions
Hello. Please note my edits to the article you created. In particular: Michael Hardy (talk) 05:09, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
 * You should sign your name to comments on talk pages, but not to articles. If you click on "history", you'll see the article's edit history, which credits users with their edits.  Normally an article will be edited by many people as it evolves.
 * The title phrase should be set in bold at its first appearance, usually in the first sentence.
 * You need to warn readers unfamiliar with statistics that statistics is what the article is about. Such a person might be unable to tell what the subject matter is by reading the first sentence.
 * Writing "SE" with no link to standard error can confuse those unfamiliar with such an idea. I also linked to confidence interval and a number of other concepts for which Wikipedia articles exist.  You can also put in such links when no article exists but one ought to; those in effect invite people to create the new article.
 * There are standard formatting conventions for section headings, paragraph breaks, and TeX displays. See Manual of Style and Manual of Style (mathematics).
 * There's no such thing as a confidence interval for a statistic; confidence intervals are for unobservables such as population means. The endpoints of confidence intervals are statistics (observable).
