This is a section in the newsletter devoted to help familiarize project members with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

1. Trivia sections are discouraged in wikipedia articles. Information from such sections, if notable, should be merged into the main body of the article.
2. If making a controversial change, or one that will affect a wide range of article, please gain consensus from the project first.
3. Please familiarize yourself with the general notability policy of Misplaced Pages. Avoid creating new articles that do not satisfy the requirements.
4. Refer to WP:NC during the process of renaming an article, if a name does not adhere to these guidelines, be bold and move the article to the correct target name. If there is a naming conflict, follow the steps to a resolution or discuss the move on the project's talk page.
5. Avoid adding statements that will date quickly, for example "soon" and "now".
