 | An editor thinks something might be wrong with this page. That editor can't be bothered to fix it, but can now rest assured that they've done their encyclopaedic duty by sticking on a tag. Please allow this tag to languish indefinitely at the top of the page, since nobody knows exactly what the tagging editor was worked up about. |

[edit]Summary:
[edit]- Write first for the Educated Layperson (that's hard... suggest the "New Scientist" as a style example).
- ...then try to do it better and write for the beginner (that's harder)
- If an educated layperson can't figure it out by following the wikilinks, then it's too hard.
- Yes, we're experts (more or less) but we're writing for a general audience. We could write a clever, concise, deep sentence to explain something...but it's useless if it isn't easy to understand.
- Eschew argot, jargon, technicality and cant.
Formatting:
[edit]- See Help:Editing
<!-- and --> (For hidden inserted comments.) Indenting by one space causes this box to form and suppresses certain codes.
Images
[edit]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 an 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. )
