Editing
Hey Villager - looking at your recent edits, here are some key points to keep in mind, outlined in our policy that you have claimed to read several times:
- Edits should not be claimed with a signature, as also pointed out by Will above (see here)
- Articles should not be written from a first person point of view, but rather, a third person encyclopedic view. Saying things like "I recommend" and "good luck!" are unencyclopedic. Take a look at other articles for examples of writing style.
- All content submitted to the wiki should be original work - that is, written in your own words. Copying and pasting from other sources is definitely not allowed. While Wikipedia's content does have a compatible license to Nookipedia, it is still advised that everything submitted be original work.
Please re-read the rules before editing. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk 19:38, 24 June 2013 (EDT)
- Just a question, if we were to use wikipedia content, how would we credit it? Would we do it via a reference linking to the wikipedia page? Thanks, Will1982 is awesome 19:50, 24 June 2013 (EDT)
- We actually have a template to use for that purpose, which goes at the bottom of the article: Template:Wikipedia. There are a couple of articles it's used on. Ideally, though, it is best to create original content for the sake of consistency and simplicity, among other reasons. Otherwise, yep, copied content with a compatible license could be attributed with a footnote. ~SuperHamster Talk 21:20, 24 June 2013 (EDT)
