Reminder

edit

Welcome to Wikipedia. Wikipedia seeks editors like yourself. The project aims to advance general knowledge with a balanced perspective.

Just to help out, here are suggested readings of which new editors are sometimes unaware:

  • WP:SECONDARY: Wikipedia seeks citations to reviews and books, not primary journal references (tens of thousands appear annually). Citing secondary sources is the encyclopedic style.
  • WP:COI: Do not cite yourself or your colleagues. It's called conflict of interest. Many new editors cite themselves mainly. That behavior is unacceptable not to mention pathetic.
  • WP:NOTNEWS: Wikipedia is rarely competing for the latest reports, we are seeking settled knowledge.

Happy editing.--Smokefoot (talk) 23:53, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
