User talk:TheStrikingsword

Welcome to Wikipedia

Hello, TheStrikingsword. I noticed you on the Sexual intercourse article talk page, and see that you are a new editor to Wikipedia. For information about Wikipedia in order to help your editing here, I give you this list:

Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, which summarizes what belongs in Wikipedia and what does not;
Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, which describes Wikipedia's mandatory core approach to neutral, unbiased article-writing;
Wikipedia:No original research, which prohibits the use of Wikipedia to publish personal views and original research of editors and defines Wikipedia's role as an encyclopedia of existing recognized knowledge;
Wikipedia:Verifiability, which explains that it must be possible for readers to verify all content against credible external sources (following the guidance in the Wikipedia:Risk disclaimer that is linked-to at the bottom of every article);
Wikipedia:Reliable sources, which explains what factors determine whether a source is acceptable;
Wikipedia:Citing sources, which describes the manner of citing sources so that readers can verify content for themselves; and
Wikipedia:Manual of Style, which offers a style guide—in general editors tend to acquire knowledge of appropriate writing styles and detailed formatting over time.

These are often abbreviated to WP:NOT, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, WP:V, WP:RS, WP:CITE, and WP:MOS respectively.

Also, you need to always sign your comments when "talking" on Wikipedia talk pages. To sign your comments, all you have to do is type four tildes (~~~~) beside them.

Take care, and welcome to Wikipedia. Flyer22 (talk) 11:57, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
