Welcome to Wikipedia, the encyclopedia anyone can edit! Because you have an account with considerable experience (it is at least 30 days old and has made 500 edits), you can create articles directly in the encyclopedia. You can do so by first searching for the topic. If no article exists, you will be presented with a redlink that you can click on to directly create an article in the encyclopedia. However, this is only recommended if you are familiar with the norms and policies of Wikipedia.
If you do not yet feel comfortable enough with the various conventions of Wikipedia, feel free to review the following pages
- Help:Getting started, which has several tutorials and primers about Wikipedia conventions and policies
- Help:How to edit, which explains how exactly to edit the encyclopedia
- Wikipedia:Sandbox, a page where you can freely experiment without having to worry about breaking anything
- Wikipedia:Your first article, an overview of the creation process and its common pitfalls
You can also create an article through the Article wizard, which will guide you through the process, and explain basic concepts like notability, verifiability, and what reliable sources are. At the end of the process, your article will be created as a draft, and experienced editors will review it. Be aware that the reviewing process currently has a 2+ months backlog, with 2,439 pending submissions waiting for review.
