Welcome to Wikipedia

edit

Hello, EV1TE. I commented on the Avatar (2009 film) talk page about the edit you made to this article. I appreciate your help, though I am not sure whether your edit was the best route to go (as discussed on the talk page with other editors). In seeing that edit to the Avatar (2009 film) article, I also see that you currently have few edits to Wikipedia and can still be considered relatively new here. If you do not mind, I give you this list as appreciation and in order to help your editing here:

  1. Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, which summarizes what belongs in Wikipedia and what does not;
  2. Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, which describes Wikipedia's mandatory core approach to neutral, unbiased article-writing;
  3. Wikipedia:No original research, which prohibits the use of Wikipedia to publish personal views and original research of editors and defines Wikipedia's role as an encyclopedia of existing recognized knowledge;
  4. Wikipedia:Verifiability, which explains that it must be possible for readers to verify all content against credible external sources (following the guidance in the Wikipedia:Risk disclaimer that is linked-to at the bottom of every article);
  5. Wikipedia:Reliable sources, which explains what factors determine whether a source is acceptable;
  6. Wikipedia:Citing sources, which describes the manner of citing sources so that readers can verify content for themselves; and
  7. Wikipedia:Manual of Style, which offers a style guide—in general editors tend to acquire knowledge of appropriate writing styles and detailed formatting over time.

These are often abbreviated to WP:NOT, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, WP:V, WP:RS, WP:CITE, and WP:MOS respectively.

Also, you need to always sign your comments when "talking" on Wikipedia talk pages. To sign your comments, all you have to do is type four tildes (~~~~) beside them.

Take care, and welcome to Wikipedia. Flyer22 (talk) 02:44, 22 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
