Suggestions

edit

Hi. A couple hopefully helpful suggestions. On Wikipedia, we put in-text citations AFTER a punctuation mark. Wikipedia also uses the British convention of putting punctuation OUTSIDE of quotation marks. Also, keep in mind that we don't generally delete copious probably-accurate or good-faith information just because it's unsourced. Typically we tag it first with[citation needed] to see if editors can produce sources to support it within a realistic amount of time before removing it. Thanks!

Hi Wolfdog. Thanks for the comments about conventions, that instruction wasn't in any of the training modules I read for editing Wikipedia articles, which is interesting because it seems important! That's also good to know about the unsourced material, although I will let you know, in the Wikipedia training modules I just completed, it said to simply delete plagiarized material, including all uncited material. I will return some of the material I removed in order to allow people the opportunity to cite it. Sparks9714 (talk) 04:21, 2 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
