[edit]First of all, as the template above says, welcome to Wikipedia! I just wanted to let you know that your recent edit to Praise isn't in encyclopedic form. In order to include your information in the article, it needs to be verifiable and you need to cite a reputable source for it. For now, I've reverted your change, but please read the information above as it will explain how to put this information in the article. Thanks! Kcowolf (talk) 02:33, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
- If you want to ask a question about the article Praise, you can ask it on the article's talkpage, my talk page, or just reply here on your talkpage (I've watchlisted it so I'll see your response). There's also WP:Helpdesk, where you can ask questions and people will be around to answer it almost any time.
- To answer the question you posted on Praise, to put something in an article you need to cite a reliable source. Your personal experience is important, but since other people could easily come along and make contradictory statements (based on their own "experience"), Wikipedia requires published sources to back up information; this allows other people to verify what you say. In short, if you want to include the your list of benefits from praise, you'll need to find reliable newspaper or magazine articles that name those benefits.
- I hope I don't come off sounding rude or mean. Wikipedia is built on positive contributions from volunteers like you and me; I think the information you want to contribute is positive, but it needs to be backed up by sources in order to stay on the article. Again, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me on my talk page. Kcowolf (talk) 03:22, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
- One other thing: I saw that there is other information on that page that needs to be sourced. I've tagged the page with a template to let other editors know. Kcowolf (talk) 03:31, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
