Welcome to Wikipedia!
[edit]Hello, Casaerwin! Welcome to Wikipedia! I realize Wikipedia might seem confusing at first, (please click on the blue words to read the policy/guide they refer to). Wikipedia is probably not like other sites you may have come across. First, it is an encyclopedia. What this means, is that it is not MySpace, or FaceBook, or a place to host personal webspace, or a place where editors can make articles about anything they wish, or opinions they have. Wikipedia has Core policies, such as neutrality, notability, verifiability, etc. What does all of this mean? Well, it means that any article on Wikipedia must demonstrate notability (meaning it must be note worthy, covered by the media, etc.), and have reliable, third-party sources (such as news media articles, magazine/trade journal articles) written about the subject, and the information given in the article must cite those sources to verify it is true. From those sources, information is summarized, paraphrased, condensed, and worded neutrally to make an encyclopedic entry (information cannot be copied from other sites). Information must be verifiable, and not something that is your opinion. See Wikipedia's manual of style, layout guide, your first article, article development, and how to edit for assistance. I hope these links help you get around the encyclopedia and assist you in your editing. If you have editing questions, feel free to ask at the help desk for assistance. Cheers!

Neapolitan articles
[edit]Hey Casaerwin, with regards to all the articles you are creating, it would be best if you would simply add the items into the existing Neapolitan language article, with sources there, to keep that information in one place, since that existing article is not excessively long in length. Also, you may wish to read up on the naming conventions for articles, which talks about when to capitalize things in titles and when not to. Hope that helps! Ariel♥Gold 03:08, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
