Editing Tips

This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

The project's New Year's Resolutions are listed here, and a list of topics that are close to Good topic status is listed here. Consider helping by achieving an aim listed or by improving an article on the Topics list to Good Article status.
Please familiarize yourself with the general notability policy of Wikipedia. Avoid creating new articles that do not satisfy the requirements.
When the title of an refers to several things, it is necessary to provide links or disambiguate the page so that readers typing in that title can quickly navigate to the article that interests them. For example: World Heavyweight Championship (WWE).
Please avoid adding rumors to articles. Most rumors cannot be sourced with a reliable source and go against the Biographies of living persons policy.
Be aware of words to avoid. Certain words, if chosen poorly, can subtly promote a point of view.
