{{admin help}} - I'm a new user (about two weeks), I edited several pages and I would like to create new articles as well. I'm looking for a way to do so, but I don't manage to reach a page where I can create new content. If I'm not allowed to add a new term in this stage, then no problem, but why can't I find clear information about this process. I'm in a maze and I would like to know about clear guidelines about when and how I could actually add an articles, instead of reading the tips for the hundred time.

Hi Gao le. Your adminhelp request belonged at this page so I have moved it here. You posted it at the documentation page for a template. In any event, some standard advice on creating a new article appears below. By the way, a question like yours is better asked using {{helpme}}. The adminhelp template should be used where only an admin can help because of their extra tools. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 13:23, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Before creating an article, please search Wikipedia first to make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject. Please also review a few of our relevant policies and guidelines with which all articles should comply. As Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, articles must not contain original research, must be written from a neutral point of view, should cite reliable sources which verify their content and must not contain unsourced, negative content about living people.

A Wizard is available to walk you through these steps. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

Articles must also demonstrate the notability of the subject. Please see our subject specific guidelines for people, bands and musicians, companies and organizations and web content and note that if you are closely associated with the subject, our conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends against you creating the article.

If you still think an article is appropriate, see Wikipedia:Your first article. You might also look at Wikipedia:How to write a great article for guidance, and please consider taking a tour through the Wikipedia:Tutorial so that you know how to properly format the article before creation. An Article Wizard is also available to walk you through creating an article.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 13:19, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Congratulations

Nice to see that you managed to create your first article successfully :-) --Tony Wills (talk) 02:31, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Recently I am having more and problems when editing articles, even though I always use reliable sources. I tolerate the fact the more and more valuable additions I write get deleted (after all, I don't make money from adding content), but today something wierd happened: Some of my addition was deleted, but the other that was preserved was given the reference which was relevant to the part deleted, while the correct reference was deleted (the page of Li Na). First, I wish that I would be given comments when my edits are deleted, as I am truly volunteering here and adding reliable info, and second - Don't match incorrect sources to the info I have added, while deleting the correct ones. Thanks! Gao le (talk) 21:35, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi Gao le! Wikipedia is a wild, busy place. It takes a while to get comfortable and efficient. It sounds like you're adding information with sources, which is great. Reversions (people undoing your edits) happen all of the time, even to good editors. You won't get notification if this happens; instead, you have to check the page's history or add it to your watchlist. Also, check the article's talk page to see if someone left you a note. It's reasonable to expect people won't delete content without some explanation, but we are all volunteers here. You'll get the hang of things, just wait a little while to get some experience. You should use the article's talk page to leave a note about what happened, fix the content if you can, and talk to the editor who made the changes. Let me know if you have any questions. Please read WP:PLAINSIMPLE for a good introduction. Cheers, Ocaasi ^{t | c} 22:00, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Some advice, take it or leave it

Writing an article for Wikipedia is harder than many people realize. Even professional writers find that the format and style needed for a good encyclopedia article are different than what might be appropriate for other venues. You could:

• Get someone else to do it—If your only goal is to make sure that an article is added to Wikipedia, you can request that someone write an article on the subject.
• Start by editing other articles—If you are interested in becoming an editor at Wikipedia, our experience demonstrates that it is better to start by improving existing articles, which will help you get a sense of how this place works, and then you will be ready to write your first article from scratch. A good place to visit is the Wikipedia backlog, where there are literally hundreds of thousands of articles needing help from editors. Find an article in a subject area you know, and add a source, or a reference, or simply help write it better.
• Go ahead and try—If you do decide to write an article immediately, please read our policy on conflicts of interest, then read our guide to writing your first article, which will repeat some of the good advice above. Then please use the Article wizard, which will help you through the steps. I urge you to accept the option to save your first draft in your user subpage, which will reduce the chance your work will be deleted before it is ready.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Laurent (talk) 17:10, 23 May 2011 (UTC) Thanks! There was another link their that was inappropriate and mislead me, but now I see it had also been deleted, so now it makes more sense. Thanks, and be sure I add only appropriate references, just like I did in the past.

Welcome and reliable sources

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content, please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This helps maintain our policy of verifiability. See Wikipedia:Citing sources for how to cite sources, and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. I hope you are enjoying editing at Wiki. It may seem that there are lots of policies and guidelines but once you get the hang of it, it will be easier. Happy editing. Thanks--Michaela den (talk) 12:42, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
