Instructions
- This page will be called Template:Article wizard/editintro.
- Leave the box labelled Subject/headline blank. Replace New article name with the name of the article (leaving the ' ' ' format marks intact).
- 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.
- 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.
- If you need help with your submission, visit our live chat. Enter "guest" and then a random number as your "Nickname".
- When you are finished, click "Save page". You're all done! Thank you for your submission.
- After submission, you may wish to ask for feedback on your creation at Wikipedia:Requests for feedback.
