[edit] Some common objections to featured status and how to avoid them

[edit] Quotable

"If I may be so bold, what evidence do you have that you are really a sovereign nation and not just a bunch of thirteen-year-olds with a free web site account?" User:Garrett Albright
"If people spent as much time on typography and spelling as on edit wars...this would be Utopedia." User:Herbee
"Keep. Have you looked at our other articles? Among many other things, we are a repository for silliness." User:Snowspinner, on VfD.
"I'm a Wikipediholic! I'm addicted to Wikipedihol!" User:Adam_Bishop
"Revert. Please cite a reputable source for your claim that Bush's middle name is 'assface.'" User:John Fader
"Wikipedia is one of two good things on the internet. The other is porn." ~CaughtThinking[1]

[edit] Sign and date your photos

When you upload photographs to the pedia, please consider including your name (even if just your username) and the date you took the photograph in the description. This kind of information should be part of the metadata record of the photograph.

[edit] Use the EN DASH correctly in biographies

En dashes should be used to indicate the span of time between a beginning point and an endpoint. On Wikipedia this comes up a lot in biographies, so stop doing hyphens, m-dashes, space-ndash-spaces and whatever else you punctuationally kooky types like to do, and just succumb to my will, okay? Thanks. :)

Example: Napoléon Bonaparte (15 August 1769–5 May 1821) blah blah blah tried to take over the world...

En dash code: – or 

P.S. If you like to write dates Euro-style, i.e. 7 December, you can just go ahead and ignore this message and do your own thing.

P.P.S. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)

[edit] Stop putting links in article titles

For the love of Mike, people, please stop putting links in article titles! Mention the link-worthy words further down in the lead or elsewhere early in the article. It's just as easy, more semiotically clear and so much less ugly. I beg of you, my fellow Wikipedians, break this habit! :)

BAD: The history of beetle evolution began nine gajillion years ago somewhere in a dark corner of planet earth.
GOOD: The history of beetle evolution began eons ago. Beetles evolved out of the proto-beetle order within the insect kingdom and are first found in the fossil record during the Beetle Birth era.
