 | Add your stories freely to the essay, but with respect for these caveats for both the essay and this talk page: Do not identify any person or organization who cannot be written about in Wikipedia. Do not state a fact or view that may not be stated in Wikipedia. Do not give a partial identification or statement that may help someone else, knowing other information, to infer the full identification or statement that may not be in Wikipedia. For example, do not be so specific that someone Googling can identify the person or organization, such as if you supply a quotation. The best way to keep a secret is not to tell anyone. Isolate the problem. Make the principles clear. For example, probably the city of an article's subject is irrelevant to a principle, in which case don't mention the city. To discuss an example, do so on this essay's talk page. |
| Freely discuss the merits and demerits of writing about an article subject given Wikipedia's standards, whether Wikipedia's standards should be reconsidered (although a proposal to do so should go to a policy or guideline talk page), and ways of writing about an article subject within Wikipedia's standards as a solution to an editor's problem. However, this is not a forum. |
editing examples and what's signed
editI edited the essay just now. The article is not signed but examples are, much as quotations are typically attributed, and how we edit quotations is circumscribed by the fact that they are quotations and not paraphrases. In this case, while anyone might edit for, say, clarity or relevance, changing content while leaving the attribution is attributing a statement to someone who didn't say it. I restored because I had certain information in mind and the recent edits were based on other information that I don't know about and hadn't written about. That other information might be worth adding with an attribution to another editor or as unattributed, but I'll leave that to another editor. Nick Levinson (talk) 05:16, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
