Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 17:43, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

It's very important that you understand this:

you shouldn't approve your own stuff. When you're very, very new, there's a good chance that your submissions won't be appropriate. By moving it into mainspace, you've accepted that it can be deleted if need be, instead of sent back for further refining. DS (talk) 20:33, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

thanks so much for your response! While new to Wiki, Ive been a published author for many years and an academic even longer! I'm refining it now just to be on the safe side! If you see anything in particular on the page that could be tightened up a little bit, please let me know! Thanks again! CognitiveOP (talk) 23:10, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cognitive Warfare

Thank you for contributing to the article Cognitive Warfare. However, please do not use unreliable sources such as blogs, wikis, personal websites, and websites and publications with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight. These sources may express views that are widely acknowledged as pushing a particular point-of-view, sometimes even extremist, being promotional in nature, or relying heavily on rumors and personal opinions. One of Wikipedia's core policies is that contributions must be verifiable through reliable sources, preferably using inline citations. If you require further assistance, please look at Help:Menu/Editing Wikipedia, or ask at the Teahouse. We generally don't accept user-generated content like YouTube videos, and have to be cautious when citing the Washington Times.— ClaudineChionh (she/her · talk · contribs · email) 04:12, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for the input. The only youtube videos are official NATO or Army War College presentations or Congressional, & U.K. Parlimentary hearings. Are they not reputable just because they are videos? Thanks so much for the help! CognitiveOP (talk) 05:24, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
