Wikis are intended to represent community opinion, and articles should never be thought of as being from, or belonging to, one person. To determine the edits made by individual users, you can click on the "history" tab near the top, then compare different revisions. Wiki entries should be written in the third person, avoid phrases like "this is what you're after" (2nd person, and subjective opinion) and "I am in no way associated" (1st person, and unsuited for a community created article). In general, if you find something which is incorrect, just correct it. If there seems to be a real disagreement, then link to an authoritative source to back up your statements. Wikipedia has a good Manual of Style and Ruleset: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Simplified_Ruleset |
