Instructions

  1. value if exists
  2. Leave the box labelled Subject/headline blank. Replace New article name with the name of the article (leaving the ' ' ' format marks intact).
  3. Place the text of your article in the blank area as directed. You may want to open Wikipedia:How to edit a page (or the simpler Wikipedia:Cheatsheet) in a different window or tab in your web browser to help you format your article correctly.
    • Use your own words; do not copy content from another website.
    • However you may wish to find a similar Wikipedia article to examine its wikitext for guidance on layout
    • If there aren't any external links yet, you can just delete that section - but it doesn't matter if you don't - this can be fixed later.
  4. Provide your sources.
    • All articles must cite at least one published, specific, third-party source for the information, such as a book or a page on a reputable website. Please provide a URL or link if you wish to use an internet source. We must be able to verify your source - sources such as Google or "personal knowledge" are not acceptable. Articles without sources may be deleted.
    • If possible use the format shown in Wikipedia:Footnotes to cite specific claims in the text. Those citations will appear automatically as footnotes in the References section.
    • Alternatively, just write your sources into the article, or in the reference section, any way you can - as long as the sources are there, someone more experienced will be able to fix the formatting.
  5. If you need help with your submission, visit our live chat. Enter "guest" and then a random number as your "Nickname".
  6. When you are finished, click "Save page". You're all done! Thank you for your submission.
  7. After submission, you may wish to ask for feedback on your creation at Wikipedia:Requests for feedback.
