Help

I'm happy to help. If it has to do with writing style — I'm reasonably good at that. General questions about Wiki, I can answer. If you need sources to back up your writing for Wiki or for school, Google Books may be your dream come true: [1].

Why did I delete something that's completely true?

Probably because it wasn't cited. Even if you saw something with your own eyes, if it contradicts what other editors put in the article, your statement needs a reference. Got to have that, or a month from now some editor will come along and just undo it — having no idea where the idea came from.

Reverting vandalism

I've always wanted to deface library books. I've suggested a couple times to libraries they put scratch sheets on the inside covers, so readers can vent. Although they didn't take my suggestion, you can criticize an article on its "Discussion" page. Chat with your fellow editors: you'll be surprised how often their ideas coincide with yours.

Common reasons for my edits are explained in WP:SOURCE and WP:SOAP. (The need for good citations, that are verifiable, and not self-advertising.) It's worth glancing at them, even for old-timers, because they change a bit.
