User:Anon126/Guide for contributors with close connections/First steps


 * style="padding: 2em;" |

If you're going to be contributing a lot of material, you should create an account. You don't have to, but there are lots of benefits. Making an account makes it much easier to communicate with other contributors, and to follow certain rules (described below).

. User accounts must represent individuals. You can, however, include your organization's name in your username. So, for example, XYZ Association is not an acceptable username, but J. Doe at XYZ Association is fine. But you don't have to include your organization's name: J. Doe is fine, too.

The next step depends on your answer to this question: Does the subject you want to write about already have an article on Wikipedia?
