Essay on editing Misplaced Pages | This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Misplaced Pages contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Misplaced Pages's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |

- The person who posts the greatest amount of repeated verbiage to a discussion, is least likely to be correct.
There is also a corollary:
- The person who is most insistent that only specific sources which he favours know the facts, is least likely to have found the best sources.
