First Article edit
Hey there, I'm pretty new to Wikipedia and have mostly been making small edits to pages here and there, but I am planning on starting a new article about a poem. Do you have any advice for my first page? Thanks a lot!

- Hi @Roosterchz. First, you need to determine if the poem you're writing about is notable; if you've got reliable sources that significantly cover and are independent of the poem, it's considered notable. If you've determined that the poem is notable, create a draft through Wikipedia:Articles for creation. After clicking on the blue "Click here to start a new article" button, follow the steps to create a draft. Once you've chosen the draft's name, proceed to insert the article's contents, splitting them into segments using headings:
==Heading name here==
. See here for how articles should be structured. If you have any questions along the way, please let me know. Nythar (💬-🍀) 07:00, 7 May 2024 (UTC)- Thanks for the reply, I asked around in the tearoom and I am still not convinced the poem is notable enough. It's a South African poem by Guy Butler. I found the poem itself in a book of South African Literature.
- Thanks again for the response! Roosterchz (talk) 07:15, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
