Wikipedia NOT a means of promotion
editWikipedia is not a soapbox, a battleground, or a vehicle for propaganda, advertising and showcasing. This applies to articles, categories, templates, talk page discussions, and user pages. Therefore, content hosted in Wikipedia is not for:
- Advocacy, propaganda, or recruitment of any kind: commercial, political, religious, sports-related, or otherwise. Of course, an article can report objectively about such things, as long as an attempt is made to describe the topic from a neutral point of view. You might wish to start a blog or visit a forum if you want to convince people of the merits of your favorite views.[1] See Wikipedia:Advocacy.
- Opinion pieces. Although some topics, particularly those concerning current affairs and politics, may stir passions and tempt people to "climb soapboxes" (for example, passionately advocate their pet point of view), Wikipedia is not the medium for this. Articles must be balanced to put entries, especially for current events, in a reasonable perspective, and represent a neutral point of view. Furthermore, Wikipedia authors should strive to write articles that will not quickly become obsolete. However, Wikipedia's sister project Wikinews allows commentaries on its articles.
- Scandal mongering, something "heard through the grapevine" or gossip. Articles and content about living people are required to meet an especially high standard, as they may otherwise be libellous or infringe the subjects' right to privacy. Articles should not be written purely to attack the reputation of another person.
- Self-promotion. It can be tempting to write about yourself or projects in which you have a strong personal involvement. However, do remember that the standards for encyclopedic articles apply to such pages just like any other. This includes the requirement to maintain a neutral point of view, which is difficult when writing about yourself or about projects close to you. Creating overly abundant links and references to autobiographical sources is unacceptable. See Wikipedia:Autobiography, Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.
- Advertising. All information about companies and products are written in an objective and unbiased style. All article topics must be verifiable with independent, third-party sources, so articles about very small "garage" or local companies are typically unacceptable. External links to commercial organizations are acceptable if they identify major organizations which are the topic of the article. Wikipedia neither endorses organizations nor runs affiliate programs. See also Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) for guidelines on corporate notability. Those promoting causes or events, or issuing public service announcements, even if noncommercial, should use a forum other than Wikipedia to do so.

Consensus flowchart
edit
A bargaining impasse occurs when the two sides negotiating an agreement are unable to reach an agreement and become deadlocked. The word may also refer to any situation in which no progress can be made. Impasses provide opportunities for problem solving to provide an insight that leads to progress. Some theorists contend that impasses are used by negotiating parties in situations of imperfect information as a method of signalling to the other side the seriousness of their position. Impasse provides a credible signal that a party’s position is genuine and not merely an ambit claim. Additionally, an impasse may arise if parties suffer from self-serving bias. Most disputes arise in situations where facts are able to be interpreted in multiple ways, and if parties interpret the facts to their own benefit they may be unable to accept the opposing party’s claim as reasonable. They may believe the other side is either bluffing or acting unfairly and deserves to be punished.
To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date. You have shown interest in living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic. For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.
Please remember to:
- Always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes
~~~~
at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to your talk page, and a timestamp. - Leave descriptive edit summaries for your edits. Doing so helps other editors understand what changes you have made and why you made them.
The best way to learn about something is to experience it.

CSS Font Family List
editBrowsers do not support all the fonts, so you need to use multiple fonts to be on safer side.
CSS font-family defines the priority for the browser to choose the font from multiple fonts.
There are 2 types of font families which you can use –
- Specific Font-Family – This is a specific type of font like Arial, Verdana, Tahoma
- Generic Font-Family – This is a General Font and almost all browsers support
this generic font family. Example: serif, Sans-serif etc.[1] Sampajanna

Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage editors. Please see what is not vandalism for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Thank you. DrKay (talk) 16:55, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Quotations
editHi Sampajanna! Thought I'd give some broader context because I saw your edit summary The text or punctuation of a direct quote is normally not altered
and though it's something I see sometimes, it's very far from what MOS actually says.
- Per MOS:QWQ,
For a quotation within a quotation, use single quotes
. That's what applies in this case. The reason is because syntactically in the English language, an open quote,"
, closes as soon as the next time the same character appears,"
(one nuance at the end). So"From the very first headline about her being "(almost) straight outta Compton" and having "exotic" DNA, the racist treatment of Meghan has been impossible to ignore"
actually "quotes" the following passages: (1)From the very first headline about her being
; (2)exotic
; (3) typographical error with the last quote not being matched to anything. Obviously undesirable. (The one nuance is that this is evaluated "from the inside-out", so that nested quotes like "He said, 'I was listening to a speech and they said, "Punctuation is important."'" parse correctly.) - MOS:PMC permits changing of a noun within brackets when the context is different e.g. "I was sad" can become "[Smith] was sad".
- Typographical alignments like changing curly quotes within an original text to straight quotes (MOS:CURLY, MOS:CONFORM) are made.
- Links e.g. to Wiktionary if an obscure term is used, or to an article if an obscure reference is made in the quote, are occasionally acceptable under MOS:LINKQUOTE.
- Per MOS:PMC, even corrections of typos are to be done silently, so quoting "It was essentailly a matter of taste" exactly is explicitly disallowed.
Just thought I'd let you know in future, as the actual MOS, A quotation is not a facsimile and, in most cases, it is not a requirement that the original formatting be preserved
(MOS:CONFORM), is not always applied correctly. Let me know if you have any questions! — Bilorv (talk) 23:28, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
