Welcome to the WikiProject Industrial Resource Center. This is the place to find guides on how to properly edit and maintain articles.
Guidelines
Although we strive to comply with all Wikipedia guidelines, there are a lot of them. Many Wikipedia policies must be discovered through experience so remember to
be bold with your edits! It helps you and Wikipedia at the same time!
The following guidelines are listed for convenience and also may be particularly helpful when editing industrial articles:
Before starting a new article! - Notability is a concern that must be adhered to. See
Wikipedia:Notability (music) for more information. Need help starting a new article? See
Wikipedia:Article wizard it will help you through the process of submitting a new article to Wikipedia.
I.
Use references. This is an encyclopedia, so remember to include a ==References== section listing websites, newspapers, articles, books and other sources you used to write the article. New articles and statements added to existing articles may be deleted if unreferenced or referenced poorly. See
Wikipedia:Verifiability,
Wikipedia:Cite_sources and
Wikipedia:References for more information.
II.
Use proper spelling and grammar. We want to learn editors to write proper". There is helpful guidelines in regards to styles. See
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (music) for more information.
III.
Use footnotes. Take advantage of the footnote ability Wikipedia has, instead of including html links inside the context include them as footnotes. See
Wikipedia:Footnotes on how to use them.
IV.
Write a good lead. Be sure to write a
lead that concisely summarizes the entire article into one or two paragraphs, which make sense to someone who may know nothing about the subjects in question. See
Wikipedia:Lead section for more information.
Keep it simple. Remember that the average reader should be able to comprehend the erudition. Although you should use a broad vocabulary of regular, non-technical terms, do not provide such a quantity of locutions as to impel those who aspire to derive serviceable information from the article to consult a dictionary.
VII.
Use images if possible. Images enhance articles greatly, but only use them when they are necessary, and ensure that their copyright status has been specified and we are allowed to use it on Wikipedia. See
Wikipedia:Images
