    Guidelines

    • Please write descriptive Summaries.
    • If you have general information you might want to contribute it to Wikipedia and post a reference to Wikipedia if it's a "closed" case or Research if it's still "open".
    • If you want to write that "Corporation X or Person Y is evil" put it in wikipedia (maintain w:NPOV, Neutral Point of View) or your personal page if you must (Please don't do this).
    • When editing pages please pay attention to the desired order of additions if it is stated on the top of the page (Chronological, Reverse Chronological, Alphabetical, By Category)
    • On naming/terminology conventions: We should always default on the American expressions and conventions since it's crucial to get USA in to this, except where the American way is futile
      • Use the SI-system for measurements (it's cheaper for computers to process kilograms and meters and so forth)
      • Use the UK way for types of companies, Americans use Inc for all types of Incorporated bodies.
      • Use w:ISO 639 for identifying languages.
      • Use CAPITALISED w:List of Internet TLDss for identifying COUNTRIES.
    • It could be a good idea to set up a scratchpad (like: User:Juxo/Scratchpad for yourself, it's easier to produce high quality texts if you start them somewhere, where they aren't supposed or required to make sense in the begining. This also supports finding better article names since you can see what your scribbling turns to in a few edits.
