The Tip of The Day department needs editors to monitor the tips before they "go live". To do this, place {{Totd-tomorrow}} on your user page or user talk page. That will show the tip a day early. When you find an inaccuracy or other problem, you can fix it yourself, or report it at the Tip of the day talk page. Thank you!

Discussions and collaborations
Discussions in the following areas have requested wider attention via Requests for comment:
Wikipedia articles should focus on describing facts in a neutral fashion. When writing about facts, cite sources that verify the information being presented. Stick to a factual style even when writing about fiction or opinions. Providing references is particularly important for controversial opinions—instead of using weasel words like "some people believe…," you should cite sources to help readers know who believes what, and why.
