editDear Thi Ngoc Anh Nguyen (what is your username?), @Annangg281 and Melanieclose:,
we are happy that you are starting this new adventure on Wikipedia. Some basic tips to get started:
- All group members (without exception) are required to develop contents in the sandbox of the group leader (User:Annangg281/sandbox) and not elsewhere: no editing offline or on other platforms! In the history page individual contributions will be shown. Always remember to login before contributing.
- If you intend to expand an existing article, first of all copy the complete wikitext of the existing page (in "edit source" mode) and paste it into the sandbox.
- Please do not copy from other websites or books! Wikipedians are very respectful of copyright and all the texts must be written by your hand (see Wikipedia:Copyrights). If anyone copies from unauthorized external sources, the page will be deleted and you will be forced to start over. Copying (and translating) from another Wikipedia page is permitted, if you always specify the source page in the edit summary.
- An article must be structured in more sections and is preceded by a lead section, which introduces and summarizes the subject. No title should be placed above the lead section!
- Always cite your sources. At the end of each sentence (or at most each paragraph) put a footnote with a reference to the source. Sources must be reliable. Specify the sources while writing content, not after. You can also reuse the same reference in multiple places.
- If you don't know how to do something, there are so many help pages at your disposal! At the beginning, Help:Wikipedia: The Missing Manual may be useful; when needed, take a look at Visual Editor guide and for specific typographic guidelines to the Manual of Style.
- When your article will be nearly ready to be reviewed, or you need help, please contact me, writing at the bottom of this page and pinging me, that is writing at the beginning
{{ping | Marcok}}and ending with your signature (Help:Signatures). Otherwise I will not receive any notification and I will not be able to reply to you. If you are not answered within a day or two, please contact me directly in my talk page.
