Here you can digest how to use Wikipedia in bite-sized morsels. The tips listed below were created for the Tip of the day project, or the Styletips project, but are listed here by title and organized by subject area for your convenience.
One of the most common methods used by WikiProject contributors to monitor and prioritize their work is that of assessing the articles within their scope. The de facto standard for these assessments is the Version 1.0 Editorial Team'sassessment scale (shown below).
– The article is well organized and essentially complete, having been reviewed by impartial reviewers from this WikiProject or elsewhere. Good article status is not a requirement for A-Class.
– The article is substantial, but is still missing important content or contains much irrelevant material. The article should have some references to reliable sources, but may still have significant problems or require substantial cleanup.
ProveIt is a user script (and gadget) that makes it easy to find, edit, add, and cite references in Wikipedia articles.
It provides a graphical interface for editing, adding, and citing references. The ProveIt toolbar displays at the bottom of the Wikipedia text editor (for articles only).
