Wikiproject Tasmania

[edit]

Hi Drandrewc.

Thanks for contributing the article on Legana, Tasmania. You may be interested to know that there is a dedicated Wikipedia:WikiProject Tasmania, a group of editors who work colloboratively on articles about Tasmania. Have a look around there and if you wish you can add your name to the team. Cheers,Mattinbgn/ talk 21:08, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Signing of pages...

[edit]

Hey, just a heads up, you only need to sign talk pages. Signing pages in the main space (such as Legana, Tasmania) detracts from the article. Anyway, keep up the good work and improve that article! ~AFA ʢűčķ¿Ю 12:22, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A summary of site policies and guidelines you may find useful

[edit]
  • Please sign your posts on talk pages with four tildes (~~~~, found next to the 1 key), and please do not alter other's comments.
  • "Truth" is not the criteria for inclusion, verifiability is.
  • We do not publish original thought nor original research. We merely summarize reliable sources without elaboration or interpretation.
  • Reliable sources typically include: articles from 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).
  • Articles are to be written from a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not concerned with facts or opinions, it just summarizes reliable sources. This usually means that secular academia is given prominence over any individual sect's doctrines, though those doctrines may be discussed in an appropriate section that clearly labels those beliefs for what they are.

Reformulated:

Also, not a policy or guideline, but something important to understand the above policies and guidelines: Wikipedia operates off of objective information, which is information that multiple persons can examine and agree upon. It does not include subjective information, which only an individual can know from an "inner" or personal experience. Most religious beliefs fall under subjective information. Wikipedia may document objective statements about notable subjective claims (i.e. "Christians believe Jesus is divine"), but it does not pretend that subjective statements are objective, and will expose false statements masquerading as subjective beliefs (cf. Indigo children).

You may also want to read User:Ian.thomson/ChristianityAndNPOV. We at Wikipedia are highbrow (snobby), heavily biased for the academia. Tgeorgescu (talk) 12:02, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
