Hey there, welcome to Wikipedia. What do you want to create an article on? You may want to read WP:Notability to see if it meets the guidelines to have its own separate article. Feel free to also read the links above to get started, and if you have any questions, please let me know on my talk page. -NottNott|talk 16:46, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

You don't need to create a new article to edit Wikipedia; in fact, writing an all-new article is among the most difficult tasks. It's far easier to start out and gain some experience by improving existing articles. If you still want to start by creating a new page, I'd suggest you take a look at WP:Your first article, make sure that your chosen topic is notable and that you have reliable sources, and use the Article Wizard to create a draft and submit it for a review by an experienced editor.
