Text of the page (random words):
se shortcuts are all about now you do too yes they can be confusing for newcomers but you can find a non comprehensive list of shortcuts at wp cuts a shortcut to the wikipedia list of shortcuts page often you can find the information you need by typing wp keyword into the wikipedia search box substituting a word describing your needs for keyword you will see a list of policies guidelines and essays related to your inquiry get familiar with wikipedia it s best to start slow rather than jump in and perhaps flounder there are a number of terrific guides within wikipedia that can help new editors to create their first articles see the bottom of this essay it should be remembered that it is always good for a newcomer to use a personal sandbox or user space for creating articles so that they may be fine tuned before being moved to wikipedia s mainspace where the article resides an authoritative page geared towards helping newcomers create an article is wikipedia your first article here is a short summary create an account you must be a registered user to create a new article registering as a user is free anyone can do this don t create more than one account use of multiple accounts by one person is frowned upon it s allowed under special circumstances yes but generally speaking one is enough play around with wikipedia s sandbox an area for any editor to test out formatting and editing wikipedia this is a great first step because a lot of wikipedia s editing policies don t apply there and you don t have to worry about messing up formatting almost like a cat s litter box it gets cleaned out on a regular basis try editing existing articles in order to get a feel for writing and for using the mark up language used within wikipedia for instance pick a random article and check it for grammar or spelling double check to make sure that the topic you might wish to write about has not already been created by someone else perhaps under a different or modified title if the article already exists you might make a few constructive edits to it find and gather your references both to use as sources for your information and also to show the required notability of your article s subject matter don t use blogs personal websites forums myspace or twitter as references wikipedia requires reliable sources and for the most part those aren t reliable never be afraid to ask for feedback you can ask questions about current articles or about articles you might wish to create in a number of places including the talk page of a related wikiproject the teahouse a help forum for new users or the help desk help from others is available all one need do is ask consider userspace although it s not mandatory it s an extremely good idea to start the article first in your user space as a userspace draft one of the biggest problems newcomers face is starting new articles in the main space and then having it immediately judged somehow lacking by more experienced editors sure you just started it sure it still needs expansion and sourcing yes it s a work in progress it s not finished it s not ready why is it being tagged for deletion hey yikes sadly that is how many newcomers first meet the experienced editors who patrol new contributions and more sadly the meeting is not always a happy one please don t let that be your first interaction with others if this does happen to you you might find wikipedia why was my page deleted instructive registered users have and can create their own user spaces for building articles new articles can be started there on a subpage and can be whipped into shape at leisure there is no real hurry after all beginning an article in a userspace allows the benefit of time in order to sweeten the article ask other editors for advice and input make the article shine and then move it into the live wikipedia only when it is ready to go and survive on its own learn the not too confusing details about creating your own subpage by checking out how to create user subpages there is also a great tool newcomers can use called the article wizard which offers the option to create just this kind of user work space as you gain experience you ll see how easy it is to do then when your new article is ready for the main space you can quite easily move it into that main area picking a topic on notability on wikipedia notability is a test used by editors to decide whether a topic can or should have its own article what is written in wikipedia must in some manner be notable or worthy of notice the concept of notability as used on wikipedia is not the same as the dictionary definition it does not necessarily depend on things like fame importance or popularity although those may enhance the acceptability of a subject that meets the guidelines explained at wikipedia notability the general rule is that a topic is notable and thus warrants a stand alone article if multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject of the article have written about that topic in some detail the existence and citation to those sources in an article both substantiates notability and allows the information content of the article to be verified all information on wikipedia must be verifiable and if no reliable third party sources can be found on a topic then it should not have a separate article here are some important things to remember about creating an article and there are lots of things wikipedia is not for important cautions don t write about yourself your friends your website your company your business your family a band you re in your teacher a word you made up a story you wrote or anything else you re closely affiliated with exception we welcome academics museum curators etc who write about their area of expertise subject to our usual policies if the subject is too close to you it falls under scrutiny as a conflict of interest if your username is big blast and you write about big blast the musician or big blast the demolition company or big blast pancakes you ll catch the immediate eye of editors whose chosen task is to investigate and curtail conflict of interest or blatant advertising oh perhaps big blast the musician or big blast pancakes might very well be worth writing about but if that s you you may as well wait until someone else writes it if it s not you then perhaps starting with a different username will prevent the appearance that it is conflict of interest is a big deal on wikipedia as wikipedia strongly discourages any attempt at self promotion so choose something else that interests you and that will itself be of interest to others pick something notable to write about go and take a good look at the notability guidelines and then at the guidelines for determining what a reliable source is pretty much what these guidelines state is whatever topic is being considered the topic must be notable it must itself have been addressed in outside reliable sources with very few exceptions this means the topic must have been written about in newspapers or magazines or books not blogs not forums not fansites not self published websites not neighbourhood newsletters the sources providing verifiability of any information in an article must themselves be reliable be neutral in point of view whatever you write about has to be presented in the same dry and informative or even boring fashion as you might expect to read it in encyclopædia britannica or encyclopedia americana avoid use of adjectives and superlative unless they were used in the sources you have found for your article don t write biggest pancake ever seen unless your sources say exactly that in which case you repeat it within quotation marks followed by the reference citation to the source s which actually made that statement more on that below no original research as an encyclopedia wikipedia should only contain information about things that are already known in the wider world it is not for announcing new things or novel ideas likewise you may not take several pieces of information that are known but weave them together to offer a new conclusion wikipedia demands that there be no original research if several sources make the conclusions that you wish to share then fine that s them and you can present the conclusions in an article form as stated by others but don t put the pieces together yourself that s original research and that s not for wikipedia the article you create will be deleted quickly if it is not acceptable wikipedia has volunteers who work the new pages patrol to check and review new articles shortly after they hit mainspace often mercilessly so make it as good as you can before making it live also articles that do not meet wikipedia s notability requirements and do not cite reliable third party published sources are also likely to be deleted but if you do your preparation correctly that is unlikely to happen as proper preparation can prevent later problems you may find the userspace essay on notability to be very helpful to summarize do not create pages about yourself your company your band or your friends nor pages that advertise nor personal essays or other articles you would not find in an encyclopedia and even more important you need to be extremely careful to not copy or simply cut and paste things from other articles to always maintain a neutral point of view and to avoid writing controversial material extremely short articles or articles that are only of local interest and here are two userspace essays that may be of great help in understanding what not to write about not a noticeboard and what notability is not userspace when you first create an account you will automatically have reserved blank pages called your user page and your user talk page which are linked in the interface at the top through the buttons marked by your username and by talk clicking on either will bring you to the page where it can be created you can also create other pages in your userspace and treat them as workspaces or sandboxes see userpage terminology and help userspace draft for the details and what is and is not appropriate content for a userpage see also what may i not have in my user pages generally speaking you should avoid substantial content on your user page that is unrelated to wikipedia note that there is broad agreement you may not include in your user space material that is likely to bring the project into disrepute or which is likely to give widespread offense material deemed unsuitable or not allowed to be in one s userspace includes writings information discussions and activities not closely related to wikipedia s goals promotional and advocacy material and links highly divisive or offensive material unrelated to encyclopedia editing personal information about others or excessive personal information about yourself and wikipedia content not suited to the userspace at its most basic your user page is where you can share basic information if you wish about yourself or your wiki related activities there is no rule nor norm that you must share such information and some users choose to leave their user page blank a user talk page is a place for messages from and discussion with other editors for more information on using talk pages see help talk page what we are dealing with here though are the user subpages that we call sandboxes or workspaces pages you can create as dedicated spots to construct articles before they are ready for the main space where articles reside it bears repeating that there are restrictions on userpage use study wp upno to avoid problems from the outset if you are even the least bit in doubt ask for advice on building an article while we cover this here at its most basic many editors suggest you review the more in depth coverage at wikipedia your first article many editors begin by simply titling a page and adding content but unless you know what you re doing that method can lead to problems so let s begin on the right foot by your creation of an article in userspace i e not directly in the mainspace some editors use the article
