Headings

Please note that in Wikipedia, section headers are only capitalized at the start, not all the way through. See WP:Headings. Thus, it's "Early life and education", not "Early Life and Education". Wasted Time R (talk) 20:32, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Duly noted. It will take some getting used to, since WP:Headings is really grammatically incorrect. But if its OK for Wikipedia, its OK for me.EditWrite2 (talk) 21:26, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There's a lot about the Wikipedia house style you'll need to get used to; it's different from writing newspaper articles, which seems to be the mental model you're using. Also, you need to read about WP:Undue weight. Your additions to Charles Rangel went into way too much detail for a matter that was already discussed in the article. Your additions to any article have to fit seamlessly into the existing article, not only in style but also in editorial balance and weighting. (As it is, the Rangel article is already badly out of balance, with detailed coverage of his early life and early career, detailed coverage of this ethics problems of the last two years, and almost nothing about his long career in the House.)
