Hello Benjamin.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I see you now have a topic, "QinLing Orogenic Belt". That sounds to be a suitable topic for Wikipedia. I won't make any more comments yet on what you wrote in the sandbox, as it is obviously just a start. If you have any Wikipedia questions you can ask me on my talk page page or by email Special:EmailUser/Graeme_Bartlett. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:41, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

DYK for Qinling orogenic belt

On 10 December 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Qinling orogenic belt, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that one of the greatest mountain ranges in China is made up of multiple individual tectonic blocks, dividing north and south China? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Qinling orogenic belt), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
