Tip of the day...

What did they say?

Sometimes Wikipedians sound like they are speaking in a foreign language, even when they are not. This is because Wikipedians have created a great number of specialized terms (jargon) pertaining to Wikipedia and the activity of Wikipedians. Fortunately, being the encyclopedists that they are, they have also created a Wikipedia Glossary to explain these terms.

Remember, actual encyclopedia articles should be written in jargon-free language which is readily understandable without specific knowledge of the Wikipedia project.

Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion

Hello, I'm J. M.. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

@J. M.: Sadly, I have no idea what you are referring to. However, I can't imagine I was being particularly promotional. As you've undone my contribution, no harm done! Openflyingsourcer (talk) 13:49, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
