can create a wikipedia article this page in a nutshell the topic of the article must be notable it must have in depth coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic if you are connected to the topic don t write about it find another topic instead make sure there isn t already an article about the topic the article you write must include citations to the sources you used use your own words to write the article you must not copy from sources word for word never use large language models llms or generative ai new here creating an article is one of the more difficult tasks on wikipedia and you ll have a higher chance of success if you help out with other tasks first to learn more about how wikipedia works you can always come back to create an article later there is no rush article creation introductory getting started with wikipedia article wizard your first article suggested articles most wanted articles requested articles images needing articles concepts and guidelines standard layout lead section sections stub articles categorization development processes article development moving a page merging articles featured article criteria the perfect article meta tools and groups wikiproject articles for creation special newpages special newpagesfeed new pages patrol new articles by topic recent additions dyk v t e welcome to wikipedia creating a new article is one of many ways to contribute to the encyclopedia but can be difficult for new editors we recommend looking at our introductory tutorials or contributing to wikipedia to learn the basics about editing first working on existing articles is a great way to learn wikipedia s protocols and style conventions see the task center or your homepage for articles that need your assistance and tasks you can help out with before creating your first article it s highly recommended to practice in your sandbox choose a topic supported by reliable independent sources write in a neutral tone avoid promotional language and make sure all the information in the article is supported by your sources don t use large language models to write your articles either if you re unsure the article wizard can help guide you step by step through the process don t worry if it s not perfect every experienced editor started with their first try once you are familiar with the basics of wikipedia editing this page will guide you through the process of creating your first article specifically you will learn how to determine whether wikipedia should have a new article on the given subject identify and use reliable sources to support assertions in the article create a draft of the article submit the draft for publication into the encyclopedia itself the basics further information wikipedia simplified 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

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
