• When creating or editing an article, always maintain a neutral standpoint.
• Always be sure to adhere to Wikipedia's policies, conventions and guidelines when creating, editing or discussiong articles.
• And finally, be aware that while many people view graffiti as an artform, it can be said that the majority of people view it as vandalism, destruction of property and a menace to society. With this in mind, many people fail to appreciate or understand the artistic value and culture that surrounds graffiti. Try not to get too frustrated towards people who fail to understand your point of view, and be sure not to neglect any opposing positions when writing either.
