Hello, I need help with changing the title onto my sandbox. Im very new to making my own wiki page and would really appreciate any help-BIg Tasty09
A summary of some important site policies and guidelines
[edit]- Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. All we do here is cite, summarize, and paraphrase professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources, without addition, nor commentary.
- Wikipedia is not a social media network. The primary purpose of user pages is to let other users know about areas you might be interested in contributing in, not creating your own personal website.
- "Truth" is not the only criteria for inclusion, verifiability is also required.
- A subject is considered notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
- Biographies of persons assumed to be alive are held to especially high standards of verifiability -- all unsourced information may be removed, no matter how plausible.*A subject is considered notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.
- Always cite a source for any new information. When adding this information to articles, use <ref>reference tags like this</ref>, containing the name of the source, the author, page number, publisher or web address (if applicable).
- Reliable sources typically include: articles from mainstream magazines or newspapers (particularly scholarly journals), or books by recognized authors (basically, books by respected publishers). Online versions of these are usually accepted, provided they're held to the same standards. User generated sources (like Wikipedia) are to be avoided. Self-published sources should be avoided except for information by and about the subject that is not self-serving (for example, citing a company's website to establish something like year of establishment).
- User-generated sources (such as blogs, social media profiles, self-published books, or pay-to-print books) are generally not reliable sources. The only exception is when an already notable subject makes a claim about themselves that is not countered or doubted by independent sources.
We have a tutorial, The Wikipedia Adventure, if you would like to learn more about editing Wikipedia. I've also written a guide on how to create articles that won't be rejected or deleted, as part of a larger guide that covers a variety of troubles new users tend to face (or avoid if they read the guide!).

- BT09, all of those blue phrases are links to the full explanations of the policies that Ian has summarized above. Please click on them to read more. I'd especially suggest WP:5P and WP:NOT to get a feel for what it's all about. —[AlanM1(talk)]— 05:05, 4 January 2020 (UTC)
Harsh, but is what it is
[edit]I cannot see what the other editor deleted, but guessing you were thinking that Wikipedia is social media ("my own page"). It is not. Rather, articles written based on content from references to published stuff. And not stuff written by the person the article is about, or even an interview with that person.
