Basic editing rules in Wikipedia
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. As you are a newbie here, kindly note our following basic guidelines:


 * Adding content without citing a reliable source, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Material that is unsourced or poorly sourced will be reverted or removed by other editors or administrators later. Read here for help on citing sources.
 * No edit summary: This is considered an important guideline. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you amend or delete any content; otherwise, people may question your motives for the edit i.e. likely vandals or trolls.
 * Do ensure that the tone or style of your edits is appropriate for Wikipedia. Neutral point of view is one of the five pillars of Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.
 * Wikipedia is not a directory for commercial advertising. Read WP:Spam and WP:EL. If you feel very strongly that your edits are suitable for inclusion, bring it up at the article talk page for further discussion, but do not revert your edits again. Doing so with a lack of consensus is seen as disruptive editing, and you may be blocked.
 * Possible conflict of interest: If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, whereby an editor must forego advancing the aims of Wikipedia in order to advance outside interests, that editor stands in a conflict of interest. COI edits are strongly discouraged. When they cause disruption to the encyclopedia in the opinion of an uninvolved administrator, they may lead to accounts being blocked and embarrassment for the individuals and groups who were being promoted.
 * Do not make personal attacks anywhere in Wikipedia. Comment on content, not on the contributor. Personal attacks will not help you make a point nor receive a positive response; they hurt the Wikipedia community (everyone here are volunteers), and deter users from helping to create a good encyclopedia.

Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to experiment & do remember to sign your name on talk pages by using four tildes ( ~ ). Thank you. -- Aldwinteo (talk) 00:14, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
