Basic rules

The basic rules are this:

1) The community is most important. Not necessarily to a singular community, but the community around any particular reciprocating topic. CONSENSUS

2) Once the community agrees of a general direction, the references come into play. Usually, the references that are most peer-reviewed (indeed, the peer-review could happen with the introduction of it) get to be included, but the secondary references usually will come into play as a backdrop. REFERENCES

3) I just learned that if there is a discussion between to people and neither of them take a 3rd opinion clause (its a 'notice board' that reaches a third-person viewpoint), the arguement would end from dispute resolution. If the editor chooses to edit-war, then try and get an admin to verify the situation. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

4) Don't revert an edit (the same edit) more than 3 times. On the 3rd revert you can get blocked. 3RR

5) Don't copy-past from websites or any other reference. LICENCING

6) There are other misc. policies that can get you into trouble if the other editor has some negative feelings towards you. They're all tied to being disruptive at the end. MISC.

That's all you should worry about for now. Try to read the etiquette policies and always try to dispute resolution 1st. InternetHero (talk) 18:53, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Time as a reaction

I read your post on the sense of time article and it seems you're pretty much right. If you have a reference, you can add whatever you want in that respect. Good luck! InternetHero (talk) 18:55, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

References

You can add references by adding the tags = <rf name=blah>blah,blah,blah<rf/>. You can also add the same reference to mutiple sites on the same page = <rf name=blah/>. They will be in the form of two categories: numbers and letters. Cheers. The rf actually should = ref. After that, add a new chaper either labeled "References", or "Notes". Put these tags = {{rflist}}. InternetHero (talk) 19:00, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Links to other articles

You can change the name of a link if you seperate the two by a = |. For example, I live in a small house that sux but its actually a mansion. You can also add links as well and label them as words like this = link to website--oh yeah. InternetHero (talk) 19:07, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
