	Don't ramble on unnecessarily. '''Learn to edit yourself'''. Read what you've written. Is everything in it entirely necessary? Can it be reworded to better effect? Think about what you yourself might read. Would you really be interested in reading a 10,000-page treatise on the psychology of Chris's [[DIRTY, CRAPPED BRIEFS\|bowel movements]]? If not, then why should anybody else? And if so, then what the hell is wrong with you?		Don't ramble on unnecessarily. '''Learn to edit yourself'''. Read what you've written.

	This especially goes for summaries. Remember what they are--''summaries''. They shouldn't be longer than the transcription/article being commented upon. Keep psychological mumbo-jumbo to a minimum, or preferably, to yourself.		This especially goes for summaries. Remember what they are--''summaries''.

			Keep psychological mumbo-jumbo to a minimum, or preferably, to yourself, except if it is absolutely relevant. It's one thing to relate a quirk or flaw of Chris's to his [[autism]], but another to plunge head-first into pseudo-Freudian hogwash or suggest medications for him.

	~~Your~~ [[English]] teacher was wrong. When it comes to proper nouns, you are supposed to append apostrophes even if the name ends in "s" (the exception is formal archaic names like [[GodJesus]], but then it'd be "~~the parables of~~ Jesus").		This is admittedly controversial, but as far as we're concerned, your [[English]] teacher was probably wrong. When it comes to singular proper nouns, you are supposed to append apostrophes, even if the name ends in "s" (the exception is formal archaic names like [[GodJesus]], but then it'd be "in Jesus' name").

People who argue otherwise are either [[slow-in-the-minds]] or Associated Press writers, often both.

	Before adding an article, check to see if it hasn't been added already. CWCki is not [[Chris and Wikipedia\|Wikipedia]] or [[Encyclopedia Dramatica]], so everything might not be redirected. You may have to search a bit but it helps if you look for articles before duplicating them. Same applies to images.		Before adding an article, check to see if it hasn't been added already.

	If you think a redirect would be appropriate for a particular search phrase, go ahead and add it: search the term you want to redirect, click on the red link between "Create the page "[insert title here]" on this wiki!", type in <nowiki># REDIRECT [[target page]]</nowiki>, and hit "save". The page will redirect with the same information; you will have to click "Save" again and perform a CAPTCHA mini-game in order to it to fully appear. Yes, it's ''beyond'' annoying, but it helps ward off spambots. Keep in mind that the phrase should be a fairly generic and common term, and relevant to the particular target.
