All that YOU WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT WIKIPEDIA, PART 1 All that You Always Wanted To Know About Wikipedia (and most likely some stuff you never thought to ask), Part 1 Wikipedia has gotten a norm, go-to asset for a wide range of realities: Want to have a universal knowledge of the goliath squid? Need a rundown of each Nobel Prize champ, sorted out by nation? Keen on the historical backdrop of Microsoft? Ever pondered about the contrast between East Coast and West Coast hip-bounce? Wikipedia is an extraordinary case of the amazing things that can happen when individuals get together and pool their insight and aptitude. Anybody with a PC and an Internet association can add to Wikipedia. In any case, this doesn’t mean Wikipedia is an out of control situation. Truly, anybody can contribute another article or alter a current one however on the off chance that you need your commitment to â€Å"stick,† you’ve got the opportunity to keep a huge amount of rules with respect to content, sources, lack of bias, and striking quality. Things being what they are, what makes a â€Å"good† Wikipedia article? Does your item, administration, or organization have a place on Wikipedia? What occurs if your article gets hailed? Furthermore, what does â€Å"flagged† mean, in any case? Wiki can be convoluted (and even a touch of scaring) to the unenlightened. That’s why we’ve chose to do a progression of blog entries investigating the intricate details and rules of Wikipedia. This week, we’re commencing the arrangement with a couple of the essentials. First of all: What is Wikipedia? Wikipedia is an online reference book †however I'm not catching that's meaning? Here’s a decent definition, from Wikipedia itself: Fundamentally, all that you have to think about Wikipedia is in the above sentence: Wikipedia is â€Å"neutral.† at the end of the day, it doesn’t speak to one single perspective regarding any matter. Wikipedia contains â€Å"verifiable, set up facts.† As in, realities that have been distributed by a uninterested and dependable outsider. Realities that you can confirm by checking two or three sources, for example, (legitimate) paper or magazine articles. We’ll take a more top to bottom gander at both impartiality and sources in future posts. Be that as it may, at this moment, let’s simply center around the master plan. Along these lines, since we realize what Wikipedia is, let’s take one moment to talk about what Wikipedia isn’t. Also, there are a mess of things that Wikipedia isn’t. Truth be told there’s an entire page on Wikipedia devoted to this point, and it’s truly long. Basically, however, it comes down to this: Wikipedia isn't a blog/fansite/individual site. So you can’t write in first-individual, and you can’t compose anything you desire. It’s not a spot for yelling about legislative issues or enthusing about your preferred film or TV appear. That’s not to state that your preferred TV show doesn’t merit a Wikipedia page. It most likely does. Be that as it may, it despite everything needs to fit in with Wikipedia’s measures. As such, similar to this: Not this: Wikipedia isn't a spot to distribute your unique research/creations/revelations. Let’s state you simply found another planet or designed a super-cool new iPhone application. This is incredible †however it’s not Wiki-proper. Since Wikipedia is a spot for â€Å"established† realities, it’s not a spot for your unique work or research . . . however. (We state â€Å"yet† in such a case that a built up, outsider distribution like Newsweek or the Wall Street Journal composes an article about you and your new planet/iPhone application, you may really be Wiki-qualified. In any case, more on that later.) Wikipedia isn't a spot for ads/self-advancement. Once more, we’ll get substantially more top to bottom with this later, yet when expounding on an organization, item, or administration you must be extra-mindful so as not to sound one-sided. Wiki pages that sound like they were composed by a company’s PR division rapidly get hailed for lack of bias/irreconcilable situation issues, which resembles this: That doesn’t imply that your item, administration, or organization doesn’t have a place on Wikipedia. It just implies that, in the event that you need your Wiki page to â€Å"stick,† you need to adhere to the principles. Wikipedia, The Writers For Hire, and You (or Your Company/Product/Service) We’ve made many Wikipedia articles for customers on a wide scope of subjects. What's more, we’ve got a phenomenal reputation. Also, that’s in light of the fact that we turn down more Wiki ventures than we acknowledge. It’s not that we don’t need your business. We do.

We’ll get more into both of these as we proceed with our Wikipedia arrangement. Stay tuned! Coming up straightaway: Notability.
