[edit]Kay, gotcha. Was cleaning it up, and then there was a major roleback. Next version should be a LOT better.Magic pumpkin 07:03, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
- As you're writing you may want to review our core principles, especially pertaining to verifiability, reliable sources, and no original research. Basically, we can't do new research or arrive at new conclusions, but instead must verifiably summarize reliable sources using the neutral point of view. That's hard than it sounds, but I'm sure you'll do fine. Cheers, -Will Beback 07:44, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
