This page in a nutshell. This means that it is comprehensively, omitting no important details in favor of common-sense summaries. without detailed explanations, reasons-why, history, examples, redundancies, and so on. It describes what editors should and should not do. |
Be bold (WP:BOLD) is best summed up in three words: "Just do it!" The community encourages users to be bold when updating the encyclopedia. Wikis like ours develop faster when everybody helps to fix problems, correct grammar, add facts, make sure wording is accurate, etc. We would like everyone to be bold and help make Selena Wikipedia a better encyclopedia. How many times have you read something and thought, "Why aren't these pages copy-edited?" Selena Wikipedia not only allows you to add, revise, and edit articles: it wants you to do it. This does require some amount of politeness, but it works. You'll see. Of course, others here will edit what you write. Do not take it personally! They, like all of us, just wish to make Selena Wikipedia as good an encyclopedia as it can possibly be.
Also, when you see a conflict in a talk page, do not be just a "mute spectator". Be bold and drop your opinion there!
Don't get upset if your bold edits get deleted. The early advocate of trial and error followed by observation to gain knowledge, Francis Bacon, said "For if absurdity be the subject of laughter, doubt you not but great boldness is seldom without some absurdity." Happy editing!
