Hi. My name is cun and I am studying history at NTNU.
- First, use the Show preview button often instead of saving all the time when editing an article. It's easier to control one edit by one user instead of ten edits by one user in a short period of time.
- Second, if you are making a longer edit, make sure you have a backup of the text saved continuously on your own computer in case something goes wrong with your Internet browser. Most appropriate is utilizing Notepad, Microsoft Word or something similar. In fact, I'm using this method right now!
- Third, if you're going to seriously expand an article, take your time and use good sources, e.g. using books by acknowledged historians as a reference when editing an article about history.
- Fourth, in doubt of what style your writing manner should have, read other articles and recognize the line of style you will find. Featured articles are great examples.
- Fifth, read carefully through your edit in the preview before saving, as you most likely will find some error or something to change.
- Sixth, don't care if no one is ever going to read the article you contributed to. The most important thing is to make knowledge free to the world. Remember that.
