Text of the page (random words):
d ruleset wikipedia reliable sources wikipedia verifiability wikipedia citing sources and help find sources all new articles start by researching a topic using high quality published sources even if you re an expert on a topic you can t just write what you know off the top of your head published sources are needed high quality sources include books by reputable publishers respected newspapers peer reviewed scientific and academic journals and other sources with a reputation for fact checking and accuracy this may include some high quality websites but excludes personal and company websites blogs social media and any site where the public can contribute like forums and even wikipedia itself we summarize such high quality published sources in wikipedia articles that is all we do please make sure that everything you write on wikipedia is based on such sources and be sure to include inline citations along with the content you write while primary sources can be used they should be used sparingly and carefully usually only to support basic facts primary sources do not contribute to establishing notability before you start writing are you connected to the article topic further information wikipedia plain and simple conflict of interest guide and wikipedia paid contribution disclosure if you have a personal or professional relationship with what you want to write about it is best if you do not create the new article yourself editing with a conflict of interest regardless of whether you feel you can do so neutrally gives the appearance of bias and undermines public confidence in wikipedia if you create an article despite your conflict of interest you must disclose your relationship and make sure that it is reviewed by another editor by submitting it via articles for creation if you have a financial conflict of interest in the topic for example if you have been paid to edit it you must make the required paid contribution disclosure and abide by the community s restrictions on paid editing search for an existing article further information help searching the english wikipedia already has 7 2 million articles before creating a new one try to make sure there is not already an article or a draft in development on the same topic perhaps under a different spelling or even a different name search for articles or drafts that already exist main draft note articles are in main space and drafts are in draft space if you re sure that there is no article or draft available for your topic then there is just one big task to do before you start writing your first article you have to gather sources about the topic to establish its notability gather sources further information help find sources as described above in the basics wikipedia articles are written based on published sources if you need some help finding sources see this helpful guide for some common sources you may find these assessments by the wikipedia community helpful please note these assessments certainly do not list all possible sources if a source is not listed that only means the community hasn t evaluated it yet if a source meets the reliable source criteria you are welcome to use it if you have questions please do ask at the teahouse notability should this topic have an article notability general notability guideline subject specific guidelines academics astronomical objects books events films geographic features music numbers organizations and companies people species sports and athletes web content see also notability essays guide to deletion common deletion outcomes why was my article deleted v t e main page wikipedia notability your topic must meet wikipedia s criteria for having an article which we call notability if there are multiple published reliable sources about a topic then it may be notable a topic is not notable if there aren t sufficient reliable sources about it important unreliable ones like blogs social media and websites anyone can edit don t count the general notability guideline gives more details on how to tell if a topic is notable or not if you re not sure if your topic is notable ask for help at the teahouse a notable topic is one that has multiple reliable sources that each meet all three of the following criteria secondary a secondary source provides thought and reflection based on primary sources generally at least one step removed from a topic it contains analysis evaluation interpretation or synthesis of the facts evidence concepts and ideas taken from primary sources independent of the subject this means that nobody involved in writing or publishing the source has a financial or other connection to the subject a source is not independent of the subject if any of the following are true if the subject paid for it including all forms of sponsored content if the content within the source originates from the subject including most interviews and all press releases even if published by a third party sometimes called churnalism or it was published by the subject itself on behalf of the subject or by someone related to the subject significant coverage the sources must discuss your subject in depth in multiple paragraphs trivial mentions such as one or two sentences or the appearance of your subject in a table or list are not enough to help establish notability the special notability guideline for businesses has lots of good examples of what is considered significant and trivial if your topic is not notable stop here and find a new one non notable topics do not qualify for a separate article consider expanding a relevant existing article related to the topic or selecting a new topic if you are stuck ask for guidance at the teahouse look at similar articles see also help introduction to the manual of style it s a good idea to look at several existing wikipedia articles on subjects similar to yours to see how such articles are formatted the quality of our existing articles varies and lower quality articles should not be used as a model the talk page of the article may have a quality rating in the shaded box at the top if an article has been assessed as b class or as a good article or featured article it is safe to use as an organizational template for your article you can also consult wikipedia s manual of style for guidance on how to structure an article writing your draft further information wikipedia writing better articles once you ve verified that there isn t already an article out there about your topic gathered your sources and established notability you re ready to start writing what editing tool to use edit tab in desktop view edit pencil in mobile view further information help introduction help wikitext and help visualeditor wikipedia provides various editing tools and you have a choice of what tool best suits your needs editing interface selector source editor edits the wikitext of the article which uses some special characters like adding square brackets to create a link to another page or asterisks to make bullet points visual editor a tool similar to a word processor for editing articles without the need to understand any special codes or markup visual editor is the default to switch your default editing interface select an option from the editing mode menu in your preferences users of mobile devices are automatically redirected to the official mobile version of wikipedia if you don t want to use the mobile version tap the desktop link at the bottom of any page to switch to the desktop version where to start writing further information wikipedia drafts and wikipedia about the sandbox where will you develop your draft you have several options in draftspace this is a special area of wikipedia dedicated to creating new articles and is a good choice because other editors can find your draft here and help out in your sandbox this is a page you can always easily find by tapping the user icon in the top right corner to show the menu linking your sandbox downside you can only create one article at a time there and it s not so easy for other editors to find in a user subpage you

draft with the article wizard how to create content further information help editing wp neutral point of view and wp verifiability writing a wikipedia article summarize the most important things your sources say don t copy wording from your sources instead summarize the ideas in the source using your own words summarization is more than just changing a few words around here and there only add information supported by your sources don t add from your own knowledge or expertise make sure you show all major viewpoints fairly do not cover fringe views or those held only by a tiny minority don t take sides or use promotional language write in a professional tone avoid loaded language add citations as you go this is much easier than writing first and trying to remember later where you found each piece of information you don t have to write the article all at once save your progress frequently with an appropriate edit summary the publish button saves your progress you can add images templates like an infobox at the top or a stub at the bottom and categories to your article don t use large language models ai like chatgpt to generate article content these often produce inaccurate text and sometimes make up fake sources and references it is much better to write the article completely yourself so that you can be confident in what it says remember you are responsible for the content you add citing sources further information wikipedia citing sources help find sources help referencing for beginners and help introduction to referencing with visualeditor sources are the published books academic articles reputable magazines and newspapers and other locations where you find the information you will be writing about you will need to find sources before you start writing because all content in articles at wikipedia must be verifiable that is backed up by reliable sources the best way to demonstrate verifiability is by creating a citation to a reliable source that you found and embedding it in line as you write your article the best sources tend to have some form of editorial oversight and a reputation for fact checking and accuracy some websites are reliable many are not if you re not sure about the reliability of a website you can read what editors think about them it s okay to use non english sources offline sources and subscription only or fee based sources as long as they are reliable dos and don ts main pages wikipedia what wikipedia is not and wikipedia avoiding common mistakes here are some do s and don t s to highlight some of the most important points about writing your first article dos and don t great ways to contribute things to avoid do make sure that the topic you write about is notable articles about non notable topics get deleted do include citations to independent reliable sources for all assertions of fact do add content that has a neutral point of view and fairly represents the majority of the sources do exercise caution when editing articles about living people negative or critical content must be impeccably sourced to highly reliable sources do ask for help at the teahouse the help desk or check these help links don t engage in original research or personal essays don t copy copyrighted material into articles don t speculate about events in the future don t write an article only to define a word wikipedia is not a dictionary try wiktionary instead don t write an article if you have a conflict of interest because of a personal or professional connection to the topic of the article don t use large language models llms to write original content publish your draft when your draft is ready you have two options for publishing it you can do so directly yourself or ask another editor to review it first if you don t have an account if your account is not yet confirmed or if you have a conflict of interest with the article topic you will have to ask for a review otherwise the choice is up to you in either case you should take some time to double check that the draft is ready first pre publication checks take another look at your draft to see if it meets the criteria required for a wikipedia article make sure that the first sentence defines the article topic and tells the reader who or what the subject is in plain english there are citations to reliable sources in the article most reviewers look for at least three sources some specific types of information require inline citations namely direct quotations and any contentious material about living persons negative positive or neutral the article is written from a neutral point of view any controversial claims about living people are impeccably sourced publish directly main page wikipedia drafts moving drafts to mainspace if you are sure your draft is ready and you do not have a conflict of interest with the topic you can publish it directly by moving the page from the draft namespace to the main article namespace to do so follow the
