added a guidelines regarding scientific names as per a suggestion by Richard Preiss
* General writing style should be as informational as possible, and as free from bias and personal opinion of the writer as possible. Instead, quote or reference the opinion of reliable and reputable sources.
* Avoid re-writing material that is in brewing books such as ''America Sour Beers''. We should supplement the information in these books, and citing too much information from a book might discourage sells of books and alienate their authors from our group!
* Avoid using pseudonyms for scientific names. For example, instead of typing "Lacto", "Brett" or "Sacch", type "''Lactobacillus''", "''Brettanomyces''", and "''Saccharomyces''". Scientific names should be italicized. Occurrences of pseudonyms on the wiki should be corrected.
