September 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on Talk:Keith Olbermann. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Talk:Keith Olbermann, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. --Bobblehead ^(rants) 17:07, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What Wikipedia is about

I would suggest that you read some of the links in the Welcome message I added above. It might help you to understand what Wikipedia is, and what sort of content we cover.

The most important issue is verifiability. If you click on that link you will see our verifiability policy. Statements need to be supported by reliable sources - blogs and fora are, for the most part, not reliable sources. If something is verifiable, then there's another filter - that of notability. What sort of coverage has the event received? Wikipedia isn't a collection of random factoids. The content needs to be notable. Finally, when we are dealing with living people, higher standards come into play. Since people's lives and careers can be damaged by things we publish here, it's important that we hold ourselves to a higher standard when we're talking about living people.
