Text of the page (random words):
arly of new page names articles with good spelling and proper grammar can help encourage further contributions of well formed content proper spelling of an article name will also make it easier for other authors to link their articles to your article sloppiness begets sloppiness so always do your best browsers have the native ability to highlight misspelled words in text boxes use free online dictionaries like ask oxford dictionary com onelook com google define and a spell checker such as spellcheck net gingersoftware or your browser s built in spell checker see wikipedia typo team for tips on how to use these resources articles may also be spell checked in a word processor before being saved a free word processor may be obtained from openoffice org or libreoffice org a draft message on certain free email websites such as gmail can also provide spell check this might be convenient especially regarding email websites with which you are already familiar and use often avoid peacock and weasel terms avoid peacock terms that show off the subject of the article without containing any real information similarly avoid weasel words that offer an opinion without really backing it up and which are really used to express a non neutral point of view examples of peacock terms an important one of the most prestigious one of the best the most influential a significant the great examples of weasel words some people say is widely regarded as is widely considered has been called it is believed that it has been suggested noticed decided some people believe it has been said that some would say legend has it that critics say that many some have claimed believe in your subject let the facts speak for themselves if your ice hockey player canton or species of beetle is worth the reader s time it will come out through the facts however in some cases for example history of graphic design using superlative adjectives in the one of the most important figures in the history of format in the description may help readers with no previous knowledge about the subject to learn about the importance or generally perceived status of the subject discussed note that to use this type of superlative adjective format the most reputable experts in the relevant field must support the claim avoid blanket terms unless you have verified them for example this article states that of the 18 montgomery counties in the united states most are named after richard montgomery this is a blanket statement it may very well be true but is it reliable in this instance the editor had done the research to verify this without the research the statement should not be made it is always a good idea to describe the research done and sign it on the article s talk page if you wish to or must refer to an opinion first make sure someone who holds some standing in that subject gives it a view on former american president gerald ford from henry kissinger is more interesting for the reader than one from your teacher from school then say who holds the opinion being given preferably with a source or a quote for it compare the following some critics of george w bush have said he has low intelligence author michael moore in his book stupid white men and other sorry excuses for the state of the nation wrote an open letter to george bush in it he asked george are you able to read and write on an adult level examples sometimes the way around using these terms is to replace the statements with the facts that back them up instead of the yankees are one of the greatest baseball teams in history write the new york yankees have won 27 world series championships almost three times as many as any other team by sticking to concrete and factual information we can avoid the need to give any opinion at all doing so also makes for writing that is much more interesting for example william peckenridge eighth duke of omnium 1642 may 8 1691 is widely considered to be one of the most important men to carry that title william peckenridge eighth duke of omnium 1642 may 8 1691 was a personal counselor to king james i general in the wars of the roses a chemist bandleader and the director of the secret society known as the league of extraordinary gentlemen he expanded the title of omnium to include protectorship of guiana and right of revocation for civil service appointments in india show don t tell the first example simply tells the reader that william peckenridge was important the second example shows the reader why he was important exceptions when repeating established views it may be easier to simply state before nicolaus copernicus most people thought the sun revolved round the earth rather than sacrifice clarity with details and sources particularly if the statement forms only a small part of your article however in general everything should be sourced whether within the text with a footnote or with a general reference make omissions explicit for other editors make omissions explicit when creating or editing an article when writing an article always aim for completeness if for some reason you cannot cover a point that should be explained make that omission explicit you can do this either by leaving a note on the discussion page or by leaving html comments within the text and adding a notice to the bottom about the omissions this has two purposes it entices others to contribute and it alerts non experts that the article they are reading does not yet give the full story that s why wikipedia is a collaborative encyclopedia we work together to achieve what we could not achieve individually every aspect that you cover means less work for someone else plus you may cover something that someone else may not think of but which is nevertheless important to the subject add to do to the top of the talk page of articles for which you can establish some goals priorities or things to do other issues honorifics do not use honorifics or titles such as mr ms rev doctor professor etc see wikipedia naming conventions royalty and nobility and wikipedia manual of style biography inappropriate subjects if you are trying to dress up something that doesn t belong in wikipedia your band your web site your company s product think twice about it wikipedia is not an advertising medium or home page service wikipedians are pretty clever and if an article is really just personal gratification or blatant advertising it s not going to last long no matter how important you say the subject is integrate changes when you make a change to some text rather than appending the new text you would like to see included at the bottom of the page if you feel so motivated please place and edit your comments so that they flow seamlessly with the present text wikipedia articles should not end up being a series of disjointed comments about a subject but unified seamless and ever expanding expositions of the subject avoiding common mistakes it is easy to commit a wikipedia faux pas that is ok everybody does it nevertheless here are a few you might try to avoid make a personal copy suppose you get into an edit war you try to stay cool this is good congratulations however what would be great is if you could carry on working on the article even though there is an edit war going on and even though the version on the top is the evil one favored by the other side in the dispute so make a temporary personal copy as a subpage of your user page just start a new page at special mypage article name it can be renamed in the url address to start a page with a different article name and copy and paste the wiki source in there then you can carry on improving the article at your own pace if you like drop a note on the appropriate talk page to let people know what you are doing some time later at your leisure once the fuss has died down merge your improvements back in to the article proper maybe the other person has left wikipedia finding it not to their taste maybe they have gone on to other projects maybe they have changed their mind maybe someone else has made similar edits anyway although they may not be as good as yours as you have had more time to consider the matter alternative versions of pages should be deleted once you are finished with them related resources you can post questions about english grammar and usage

from policy analysis as of 6 september 2017 for example amalie emmy noether ˈnøːtɐ 23 march 1882 14 april 1935 was a german mathematician known for her groundbreaking contributions to abstract algebra and her contributions to theoretical physics this example not only tells the reader that the subject was a mathematician it also indicates her field of expertise and work she did outside of it the years of her birth and death provide time context the reader who goes no further in this article already knows when she lived what work she did and why she is notable wikipedia manual of style biographies has more on the specific format for biography articles for example this manual of style is a style guide containing not this style guide known as the manual of style contains for example in the article united kingdom the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland commonly known as the united kingdom the uk or britain is a sovereign island country located off the northwestern coast of continental europe for example in the article matrix mathematics in mathematics a matrix plural matrices is a rectangular array of numbers symbols or expressions arranged in rows and columns when writing definitional material remember that wikipedia is not a dictionary we do not do one liner entries here and the lead section does not contain notes about whether something is a noun etc the purpose of an encyclopedic definition is not to just inform the reader of the basic meaning of term but to explain the import of the subject contextually if a reader leaves the article after reading only the lead section they should come away with a deeper sense of the meaning than they would get from a dictionary entry for example instead of a trusted third party is an entity that facilitates interactions between two parties who both trust the third party write in cryptography a trusted third party is an entity that facilitates interactions between two parties who both trust the third party for example homer simpson is a fictional character in the simpsons v t e writing guides starting an article getting started layout visual structure of articles the perfect article a checklist of
