p. 8: Preparing to edit / content rules

Preparing to edit

Anyone can edit Wikipedia, but there are some basic rules. Here are some of the most important ones to follow as you start editing:

Neutral point of view

Everything on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view. Articles must not take sides, but instead should describe — accurately and without bias — all the significant viewpoints on the topic published in reliable sources. Argumentation or advocacy does not belong in Wikipedia articles.

No original research

Simply put, Wikipedia is not a place to publish original ideas. Rather, you should summarize what others have published in reliable sources about the topic. Articles may not contain any new analysis, and they should not synthesize published materials to reach broader conclusions beyond what the individual sources say.

Copyright and plagiarism

Since all contributions are freely licensed, no editor owns any article; all of your contributions can and will be edited and redistributed. Except for brief quotations, copying content from copyrighted sources onto Wikipedia is not allowed. Whether direct copying or close paraphrasing, plagiarism and copyright violation are disruptive and time-consuming for volunteers to clean up. It’s important that all content you contribute to Wikipedia is written in your own words. (Public domain and freely licensed content may also be added to Wikipedia as long as it is properly attributed.)

ប្រភពគួរឲ្យទុកចិត្តបាន

Information in Wikipedia needs to be verifiable, based on reliable published sources. You should include citations for the information you add to the encyclopedia, so that others can check it for themselves. The most reliable sources for Wikipedia are third-party sources with a reputation for fact-checking, such as books published by academic presses, peer-reviewed academic journals, and international newspapers. You should be using sources that represent significant viewpoints, rather than one-off studies or fringe work. Try to find the best and most reliable sources available on the topic.

ជម្លោះផលប្រយោជន៍

If you have a conflict of interest about a particular topic — such as an employer or an organization you are a part of — you should avoid editing articles about it.

We've developed these policies and principles over the years so we can be sure that Wikipedia is as reliable and useful as possible.
 

P. 9 Encyclopedic Writing Style

What is encyclopedic style?

Writing in an encyclopedic style and a formal tone is important when adding new content to Wikipedia. Instead of essay-like, argumentative, or opinionated writing, Wikipedia articles should have a straightforward, just-the-facts style. Here are examples of the do’s and don’ts of encyclopedic writing.

មិនសមរម្យ

Britannica and the Future of Encyclopedias

{{{2}}}

អ្វីដែលគួរជៀសវាង

Don’t create new essay-like articles or sections.

Don’t structure your writing as an argument.

Don’t use “weasel words” (like “most experts agree” or “some people say”).

Don’t use colloquial language or slang.

Don’t use “peacock terms” (like “great”, “extraordinary”, or “intrepid”).

Don’t inject personal opinion into the writing.

Don’t use overly complex language and sentence structure.

p. 10: VisualEditor / structure of an article

[This page and the following page show edit mode for the same article in VisualEditor and wikitext, respectively. The VisualEditor side focuses on the structure of a typical article, while the wikitext side shows the wikicode syntax for typical page elements.

 
 
 
 

ការកែសម្រួលជាមួយឧបករណ៍ VisualEditor

With VisualEditor, you can see what your changes will look like as you edit, so you can focus on the content. Just click on the parts you want to change and start editing.

របារឧបករណ៍កែសម្រួល

In edit mode, the toolbar lets you add formatting, references, images, and special page elements called templates (such as the infoboxes at the beginning of many articles). When you are finished editing, press the "Save page" button.

Lead section

The first sentence provides a definition of the topic, and the lead section goes on to summarize the key points covered in the article. This is the only section without a heading.

រូបភាព

Freely licensed images and other media files can be added to Wikipedia articles from Wikimedia Commons.

អំណះអំណាង

Inline citations in the body of the article are used to show where the information in each part of the text came from. The citation details appear as footnotes at the end.

ទំព័រគំរូ

Reusable pieces called templates are used to format information in standard ways, and to insert things like the banners that alert readers to problems with an article.

តួនៃអត្ថបទ

Headings — and sometimes sub-headings — break the article up into sections, and are used to generate the table of contents. Each section usually covers some significant aspect of the topic, so that readers can jump right to the information they are looking for.

Appendices and footnotes

After the main body of an article come sections with additional information, such as related Wikipedia articles ("See also"), footnotes with details on the sources used ("References"), and a list of other websites readers could turn to for more information ("External links").


p. 11: Wiki markup

[This page consists of a simplified and excerpted version of the wiki markup for the same article as on the facing page. Most of the content is blurred out, but the example elements of markup are not. Callouts explain the most import markup syntax.]

 
 
 
 
 
 

ការកែសម្រួលជាមួយកូដ wiki markup

Wiki markup is the original form of editing Wikipedia articles (and on some browsers, it will be the only form available). It gives you precise control over the content and appearance of the page, once you understand how it works. Some of the underlying wiki markup for an article is pictured below. See how many of the corresponding elements you can find in the VisualEditor illustration.

រូបភាព

Double square brackets around the title of a photo from Wikimedia Commons will insert the image. Pipes separate optional parameters to control how the image is displayed. The most common way is with two parameters: the word “thumb” to use the standard thumbnail format, and a descriptive caption that appears beneath the image.

[[File:Example.jpg|thumb|caption]]

ដិត

Three single quotation marks before and after a string of text makes that text bold. The article’s subject is usually bolded in the first sentence.

'''អក្សរដិត'''

អំណះអំណាង

Opening and closing ref tags are used to cite a source. An automatically-numbered superscript appears at the location of the ref tags, and the content appears as a footnote in the references section.

<ref> citation text </ref>

តំណភ្ជាប់ខាងក្នុង

Double square brackets around a term create a link to the article of that name. Adding a pipe and another string of text before the closing square brackets changes the link text.

[[article title|text]]

Italic

Two single quotation marks begin and end a segment of italic text.

''italic text''

Heading

A pair of double equals signs mark a line as a heading. Triple equals signs make a sub-heading.

==Heading==

ទំព័រគំរូ

Double braces are used for templates, which are reusable page elements that serve many purposes. The first item after the opening braces is the template’s name. Pipes separate the parameters, which are additional inputs that can change the way the template works or what it displays.

{{template name|parameter}}

ឯកសារយោង

The references tag, or an equivalent template, sets the location where the footnotes show up — typically in a “Notes” or “References” section.

<references />

តំណភ្ជាប់ខាងក្រៅ

A single square bracket, followed by a URL, a space, label text, and a closing square bracket makes a normal hyperlink. Typically, they are only used in footnotes or an “External links” section.

[http://www.example.com text]

ចំណាត់ថ្នាក់ក្រុម

At the end of an article, double square brackets around a string that starts with Category: adds an article to the specified category. Categories organize Wikipedia articles into related sets.

[[Category:Something]]

pp. 12-13: Adding content, step by step

Adding content, step by step

These images show how one contributor added new information to the article on Penny Cyclopaedia.

The article before editing...

 

...and the article after changes were saved.

 

This image shows what the contributor added and the markup they used. Follow these steps and you too can add content to a Wikipedia article.

Step 1: Pick a topic you want to write more about.

Step 2: Find a reliable source that covers the topic better than the current Wikipedia article.

Step 3: Now comes the fun part. Click the Edit button!

Step 4: Add some of what is missing. Using the source you’ve found, summarize the information you want to add in your own words.

Step 5: At the end of your new block of text, add a reference. In the edit toolbar — whether you’re using wiki markup or VisualEditor — you can click the ‘cite’ icon to cite your source.

Step 6: In the ‘edit summary’ field, add a brief description of what you’ve done in your edit.

(With VisualEditor, you’ll be prompted for an edit summary after you click Save page.) The edit summary helps other editors understand what you are doing.

Step 7: Now it’s time to save your changes. Be sure to click Save page.

 

Don’t worry. If you make a mistake, you can always make more changes or restore a previous version of the article.


p. 14: Interacting / user pages / user talk

ទំព័រអ្នកប្រើប្រាស់ និងទំព័រពិភាក្សា

Wikipedia has other types of pages beyond articles. As you start editing, you might also want to create your User page to let others get to know you a little bit.

 

At the top right (if you are logged in) you will see your username, which you can click to reach your User page. Links to pages that do not exist — such as your User page if you have not created it yet — are colored red, instead of the typical blue.

 

If you click the Create button on one of these pages, you can start from a blank page. A User page is a place to write a little bit about yourself, to give other contributors an idea of who you are and what you’re interested in. You can share as much or as little as you like.

When you Save the page, your red link will turn blue!

 

You also have a User Talk page, where other contributors can leave messages for you. If you want to contact another contributor, you can navigate to their Talk page and leave a message at the bottom.

You should sign your messages on Talk pages; clicking the Signature button in the edit toolbar will insert four tildes ( ~ ~ ~ ~ ), the special wiki markup for inserting your username along with the date and time of your message.

 

This icon on the edit toolbar is the Signature button


p. 15: article talk / etiquette

Interacting with the community

Every article has its own Talk page, too. These Talk pages can be used to make suggestions, post new sources, point out problems, and discuss changes that contributors disagree about.

 
 
Look, a new Notification! These let you know when someone mentions your username, thanks you for an edit, or leaves a message on your User Talk page.
 

One important guideline for community discussions on Wikipedia is to be respectful and civil. Even if you get into disagreements, you should assume good faith on the part of other contributors. They almost always have the same goal you do — to make Wikipedia better. Keep the discussions focused on content, rather than making them about individual contributors.

ហេតុអ្វីកែសម្រួលវិគីភីឌា?

I love knowing that I’m contributing to something bigger than myself.
 
On one side, you have a bunch of rich, powerful companies. They want to turn the web into a medium for consumption: interactive television meets shopping mall. On the other side, you have a bunch of people who think the internet can change the world.
 
Everybody reads Wikipedia. If they want to learn something, they turn to Wikipedia first. I know I’ve helped a little — maybe even a lot. And that’s the greatest feeling I know.
 


p. 17 more about English Wikipedia

[The idea is that this is a page with a pretty simple layout that can be rewritten for each language to highlight whatever is important for that version of Wikipedia that isn't already covered.)

ព័ត៌មានបន្ថែមអំពីវិគីភីឌាភាសាខ្មែរ

Each language version of Wikipedia is different (although there is a lot in common across languages as well). These are some of the things specific to English Wikipedia that you may find useful.

Creating your first article

Starting a new article on English Wikipedia — and making sure it doesn’t get deleted — can be tricky. For a detailed guide on creating your first article, see | shortcut WP:FIRST .

Wikipedia Signpost

The Signpost | shortcut WP:SIGNPOST is a weekly community newspaper, covering Wikipedia-related news and research, important discussions, new Featured content, and more. You can even subscribe to have it delivered to your Talk page each week.

 

Uploading non-free images

In general, only freely licensed or public domain images can be used to illustrate Wikipedia articles, and these should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons (commons.wikimedia.org). However, limited exceptions are allowed on English Wikipedia under the non-free content rules | shortcut WP:NONFREE for things like album covers. Non-free images uploaded to Wikipedia without a clear justification under the rules will be deleted.

 

វិគីគម្រោង

WikiProjects are groups of contributors who have a common interest when it comes to editing Wikipedia. Browsing the existing WikiProjects | shortcut WP:WIKIPROJECT and joining ones that interest you can be a good way to find things you want to work on and connect with other Wikipedians.

Wikipedia 1.0 assessments

WikiProjects on English Wikipedia have a system for rating the quality and importance of articles, known as the Wikipedia 1.0 assessments | shortcut WP:ASSESS . For quality, these ratings go from Stub (just the beginnings of an article) to Start to C-class to B-class, and then the formally reviewed ratings of Good article, A-class, and Featured article.

You can see the ratings for an article at the top of its Talk page, and most WikiProjects maintain a table showing how many articles related to that WikiProject have each rating. Browsing WikiProjects for Stub and Start articles is a good way to find new topics to work on.


p. 18: article quality / additional resources

Evaluating Wikipedia article quality

The quality of Wikipedia articles varies widely; many are very good, but some lack depth and clarity, contain bias, or are out of date. In general, high-quality articles have these elements:

  • a lead section that gives an easy-to-understand overview,
  • a clear structure,
  • balanced coverage,
  • neutral content, and
  • reliable sources.


Additional information about article quality is available by consulting the “Evaluating Wikipedia” brochure (see below).
