Short (but important!) readings

• Read at least the introductory sections (and more, if you desire) of the following articles:
  1. Neutral Point of View Policy
  2. No Original Research Policy
  3. Verifiability Policy

The next step

File:Checkmark green.svg Once you've completed the above tutorials and readings, you're ready to return to the E-Volunteer main page and move on to the next step.

• If you're not in an E-Volunteer program, but would like to move on with creating an article, you can return to the Get started page or move on to the Public art showcase for more ways you can help.
