I would like to write a new article about cloud database, but I'm new to Wikipedia. What's the best way to go about it? I have a big bunch of sources and an outline in mind. Any help will be appreciated.

How to write an article

edit

Start by reading WP:Your first article, and it would be worth your while to read the three key content policies:

Then, you could plunge right in and make an article, but you would probably do better to make a draft first in your user space - see Help:Userspace draft for how to do that. You can ask for comments on your draft at WP:Requests for feedback. When it is ready, move it into the main encyclopedia. Be prepared for other people to edit it - it's a basic principle that nobody WP:OWNs a Wikipedia article.

Good luck with it, and welcome, again. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 18:01, 15 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
