Abundance and redundancy Avoid neologisms Avoid peacock terms Avoid self-references Avoid statements that date quickly Avoid weasel terms Bad article ideas Brilliant prose Build the web vs. Make links relevant to the context only Check your facts: Cite sources | Example Don't include copies of primary sources Lyrics and poetry Featured articles Fiction

Follow highlighting conventions Future event History (article style) Lists | Stand-alone | Embedded | Pro & con Long article layout | Size Make articles useful for readers Make technical articles accessible Explain (necessary) jargon Technical terms and definitions Proper names Rhetoric Section | Lead section | Subheadings Stay on topic; don't wander Timeline standards Words to avoid

[edit] Formating

How Users Read on the Web

• See Help:Editing

<!-- and --> (For hidden inserted comments.)  

Indenting by one space causes this box to form and suppresses certain codes.

[edit] Images

To insert an image into an article, edit the article and insert

[[Image:FILENAME.jpg| -- | -- | -- |Caption]]

For example, [[Image:Wiki Fairy.gif|thumb|right|160px|[[Wikipedia:WikiFairy|A Wiki fairy in the wild.]]]] Gives you the image on the right, where the caption is a wiki-link.

To have an image deleted, edit its description page and put
{{deletebecause|redundant to image FOO.jpg}} (but of course you would insert the name of the FOO.jpg image. Everything to the right of the | is comment. )

[edit] Redirects

• Help on Redirect
• Wikipedia Redirect (formatting)
• Avoid the dreaded Double redirect and self-reference.

#REDIRECT [[NAME OF REDIRECT TARGET]]

To go (back) to a Redirect Page itself (e.g., to change or delete the redirect), use the link in the (Redirected from Redirect Page) line, which appears at the top of the target page, just below the line 'From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.' (For this line to appear, you must first Go to the Redirect Page.)
