Basic Editing Do's and Don'ts

• Do proofread your edits before publishing.
• Do contact Galaxypedia Staff if you encounter problems or have questions.
• Avoid adding personal opinions into informational pages. The purpose of Galaxypedia's informational pages is to provide unbiased information for readers, so personal opinions belong in discussion pages.
• Don't include inaccurate or unverified information without marking it with a question mark (?) or the Citation needed template.
• Don't engage in hostile arguments on discussion pages; report to Galaxypedia staff.
• Don't use abbreviations in edits; use clear phrasing for all readers.
