Writing content on Wikipedia
editI am probably not the best person to ask. A few places to ask questions and links to important manuals, policy, and such.
- wp:Help desk the original help desk
- wp:Teahouse another group answering questions.
- Wikipedia:Manual of Style
- Wikipedia:Policy and guidelines
- Main page#Other areas of Wikipedia
A few of my recommendations:
- Be wp:Be bold - wp:Ignore all rules
- Find an article similar to the one you wish to edit or write and follow its style and wp:tone. An article with wp:featured article status would be best.
- Make sure your article has wp:notability or wp:notability (people).
- Avoid Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch
- You can use your use page User talk:Shakeer66 to keep links to useful pages.
- Create new articles in a sandbox. If you want to crate an article on a person named "Jeramey Jack Jones", go to your user page, and edit it. Enter * [[User:Shakeer66/Jeramey Jack Jones]] (ignore the nowiki) Save the page, click on the link (which would be red until you add something), and start editing. Once saved, this would show as:
- User:Shakeer66/Jeramey Jack Jones
You can copy content from other articles, add wp:templates and such.
Hope this helps! Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 05:38, 16 September 2015 (UTC)
