==Tips on editing Wikipedia articles==
'''Always use a [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]]''', as Wikipedia is [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|not a soapbox]].

'''Cite your sources''', so others can check and extend your work. Most Wikipedia articles currently lack good references, and this contributes to be Wikipedia's single greatest criticism—that it is not a reliable source.  Please help by researching online and print resources to find references for the article you are working on, then [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|cite them]] in proper form, and consider in-text citation for contentious facts.  There is no consensus on the best way to do that, but anything is better than nothing. 

'''Link to your article''' from other articles. After making a new page, it's a good idea to use the ''[[Wikipedia:What links here|What links here]]'' feature to check the pages that already link to your new page. Make sure that all the links are referring to your page in the right context. For example, a link to the Mercury article in an astronomy-related article should direct readers to [[Mercury (planet)]] rather than [[Mercury (mythology)]]. You should also use the [[Wikipedia:Searching|search feature]] to find occurrences of the title of your new page—and possible variants thereof—so that you can [[Wikipedia:Links|create appropriate links]].
