Do you like surfing the internet? Why yes, almost all people across the globe consume most of their time browsing the internet. With the advance technology that we have nowadays, all our task are being simplified into simple yet convenient ways of doing it like researching for your project proposal, looking for brilliant information and answers, discover for something new, games, networking and a lot more.
Wikipedia has never been new to us. This is where most of the people find certain information about the topic they are looking for since this site has a lot of entries about various yet specific information about a person, things, issues, event, place and so on.
There is no way that a certain person is ignorant about this site. But there comes to a point where you don�t have to surf certain information on it but you can start adding information about a certain topic if you want your readers to know more about it and share what you�ve got through writing.
Neutrality is at the heart of most writing in Wikipedia, requiring that each article adequately represent all significant points of view about the subject, with all information included properly cited from published reliable sources. That means no primping up a subject based on conjecture and hearsay � no matter how strongly you believe it.
If you�re writing any sort of material for an existing or proposed Wikipedia page, those principles will need to remain at the heart of your writing at all times. No insinuating a fact just because you staunchly believe it � you�ll need to refer to a published reference from either the academe or the media. In fact, Wikipedia has a notable criterion for exclusion based on this: if a subject isn�t covered with enough breadth or depth from unbiased publications, it�s impossible to write a neutral article about it.
Want to write a piece about your garage band on Wikipedia? Make sure you�ve got sources, like a local paper that featured you or blogs that reviewed your shows. All information you can include should either be inarguably factual (like the names of members) or cited from one of those other sources.
In general, these are the kinds of information you can include:
� Facts. Basically indisputable information that can easily be proven true.
� Disputed information. You can include information that�s not generally accepted, although, realize that they may be removed if a reliable source is later found.
� Primary sources. Press releases, marketing materials and other first-hand sources are considered to biased to be reliable.
� Published opinions. Information derived for reputable sources (academic publications, books, news sources and magazines) can be included, provided it comes with proper attribution.
Do note that even if it�s for Wikipedia, you�ll need to turn up a properly written entry. Forget the mass of poor grammar and badly-written text in the medium � yours doesn�t have to be the same way. Use a writing correction software and be more readable than 90% of the items on that website.
