Tip of the day...

What writing style to use

Wikipedia articles are composed and formatted according to the Manual of Style (MOS). MOS sets the house standard on Wikipedia for attributes like link formatting, capitalization, punctuation, and sections. MOS includes guidelines for biographies, citations, titles, dates and numbers, proper names, and many other stylistic details.

Some examples of the elements of style in the MOS are:

Article titles‍—‌use normal body text capitalization for titles (beginning letter, capitalize proper nouns, etc.), and apply the singular form in titles wherever possible.
Capitalization‍—‌do not capitalize all words in section headings, or non-proper nouns
Link placement‍—‌list external links in their own section at the bottom of an article
Punctuation‍—‌remember the serial comma (Oxford comma) and logical quotes
Sections‍—‌an informative lead section is important. See also a user-written lead creation essay.

To place the MOS template at the right on your User page for easy reference, edit your User page and copy/paste: {{style}} (including the curly braces).

Please follow the MOS guidelines when you update an article.

Templates, Images, & Conduct on Wikipedia

Picklespiltizyr, There are number of disruptive edit behaviors you are engaging in:

Images are not added to templates "just to look nice". They have to have to be relevant, descriptive, and representative of the topic at hand. The flag of a Spanish colonial flag and one church in Santo Domingo is NOT representative of Hispanic architecture across the world.
Similarly, captions to images must be descriptive and have a point. They are not opportunities for poetic phrasing.
Templates are meant to placed ONLY on pages DIRECTLY relevant to their subject matter. You cannot add the Spanish Colonial architecture template to cities as a whole, that is not its purpose. It is meant for articles on architecture, including architectural styles, building articles, or other directly relevant subjects.

I see that you are a new editor, so I won't hold your disruptive edits against you. Please review Wikipedia:Manual of Style and Wikipedia:Images. Failure to follow Wikipedia guidelines, such as reverting edits without cause or inappropriate removal of content, will result in my opening an arbitration case against you and possible a motion to block. If you need any help, please reach out to my talk page. Cristiano Tomás (talk) 18:36, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Copying licensed material requires attribution

Hi. I see in a recent addition to List of World Heritage Sites in Mexico you included material from a webpages that are available under a compatible Creative Commons Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this licensing requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa (talk) 12:39, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
