- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a

As for your question to User:Ron Ritzman, please read Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. That page explains what references are considered good enough for establishing notability. YouTube, Facebook and other self-published works generally aren't. — Yerpo Eh? 08:20, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for the article, it cleared up a few things, notably (pardon the pun) Wikipedia's usage of the word 'notability'. Just a question, Wikipedia itself mentions the Slender Man in many of its articles... Is Wikipedia a reliable source? 2birds1stone ( talk) 04:18, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
Re-reading that...that pun was awful, please disregard it. Does Wikipedia therefore not host articles on urban myths undocumented in the news or academia? 2birds1stone ( talk) 04:31, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
Also, in the case of an urban myth propogated throught Facebook, YouTube, and self-published works, wouldn't the widespread existance of the myth (as shown by the number of authors jumping on the Slender Man bandwagon) be evidence of notability enough? 2birds1stone ( talk) 10:47, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
- Not as such, no. Only reliable sources count (and Wikipedia isn't regarded as one). Many internet memes get coverage by mainstream media when they are popular enough - if and when this happens with the Slender Man, it will be eligible for inclusion. — Yerpo Eh? 18:58, 23 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi. I suggest to change the profile picture into the back of the card like Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon Trading Card Game's respective articles. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.195.107.55 ( talk) 13:56, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
