Basics

Article Creation Wizard Wikipedia:Article wizard

Wikipedia:MOS Wikipedia's manual of style. To ensure all formatting is in accordance to the standards. E.g. no need for citation in the lead.

Wikipedia:AS Article size should be less than 100kb, otherwise should trim or split. (see "page information" on left column for page size)

WP:TPG Talk page guidelines. use semi colons ":" to indent a conversation, or if too many use {{od}} to start a new one.

Advance

1) COI "Conflict of interest" E.g. Please declare all your COI to anyone affiliated against Christian Gospel Mission (CGM) or Jung Myung Seok. (see WP:DISCLOSE)

2) COPYRIGHT: Ensure that there is no close paraphrasing, yet no original research. (Write in own 'words' like re-dictating to a friend, but make sure all of it is cited). Use COPYVIOS tool to check for close paraphrasing. Can be speedy deleted.

Regarding websites that directly translate a news from another website [source | archived]:

1. If the website does not even cite the original, it results in direct copyright infringement and plagiarism.
2. Even if the site cites the original, it is still is an act of copyright infringement. However, most blogs and websites tend to not heed this.
3. If the site cites the original, after asking for permission from the original owner, then it is good. This is the best option.
4. If you don't receive a reply, then don't post the exact translation on your own website. It is ok to translate only a portion (the smaller the better) for use in an original ::article written by you, or write in prose (use COPYVIO to verify).

2b) Wiki does not allow eternal links to sites which violate copyright infringements. Wikipedia:ELNEVER

3) WP:NPOV "Neutral Point of View". Write neutrally, do not write promotional language WP:PROMO or write as a WP:SPAM

4) Sources / References

1. Wikipedia:SELFPUB Use of self published source (e.g. own official website) is allowed but limited to simple facts.
2. Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (WP:RS).
3. Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks (There are thousands of sites that take from wikipedia as a source. Some don't declare it too). We are not suppose to cite from them to prevent circular citation. Look at the list based on alphabet from the link.
4. Unreferenced section:
5. More references need:

5) Translations

6) Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion WP:SPEEDY Criteria for Speedy Deletions

e.g. "Attack" articles WP:Attack

7) Navigation within an article

Section linkages: Linking to sections Section linking

8) Resolving disputes: If two editors are unable to resolve the issue on the talk page, see a third opinion by pasting the active dispute there linking directly to the section that is disputed. (Wikipedia:Third opinion) e.g. paste the following under "active disputes" Talk:Providence (religious movement)#Proposed Updates to History Section. Disagreement about the use of an official source from the organization to reflect the founding date of the organization. Avataron (talk) 20:14, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
