Thanks everybody!

Words and phases that should almost never appear in wikipedia, except in quotes:

"you"
"get" or any of its conjugations.
"notable" (in article space, and it's seriously overused in the rest of the project too)
"Note that"
"clearly", "ironically," "obviously," or any other parenthetical assertion of the author's perspective.
"most famous for" - it's not like you'd a source to prove the source of fame

Other bits:

The word "notable" is overused in wikipedia, and it is a POV assertion that adds needless words. Just state the facts and let readers take note for themselves. Including a statement is an inherent assertion that it is notable. The same goes for all statements that claim that a fact is noteworthy in some way or another.
NPOV means "be objective." Articles aren't here to express opinions of their writers.
Don't speculate. State the facts that are known and let the reader draw their own conclusions. We're an encyclopedia of facts, not opinions.
A direct link to a file does not constitute useful source information. Context is necessary too.
Overly complicated sigs are a pain in the butt.
Wikipedia is for everything you don't care about and have never heard of. If it's verifiable, neutral, and not original research, why not?
Don't trust wikipedia. We don't even trust ourselves. We can only determine how to edit the facts, not what they are.
