Every assertion made on SpinProfiles should have an outside source. In most cases this should be a webpage or online document that can be linked to (see [[SpinProfiles:A Guide to Referencing|references]] for help on referencing offline sources). The easiest way to cite a source is to put a link between two square brackets after the sentence or paragraph that draws from it, which automatically turns it into an auto-numbered footnote (see the first "external link" example in the chart above). You should then add a citation to the source in the "Articles and resources" section at the bottom of the article, which serves as a bibliography in SpinProfiles articles. To add the citation you will generally need this information:
 
−
 
 
−
* Name of the author (or organization that produced the source)
 
−
* URL of the site where the information was taken
 
−
* Name of the source
 
−
* Name of the publication
 
−
* Date the information was published
 
−
 
 
−
You generally want to put the citation in a bullet and format it like this:
 
−
 
 
−
* Author, [http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Help:Quick_guide_to_editing "Title,"] ''Publication'', Date.

If editing someone else's writing, leave a note

If you are editing or deleting someone else's writing, it's a common courtesy to leave a note on an article's discussion page (found by clicking the "discussion" tab at the top of the article) explaining your reasons why. It would probably then be a good idea to check back a little later to see if other editors responded. Remember: be cool, be collaborative and talk things out. "Edit wars" are never fun and rarely productive.
