2. Survey the source
Work on your own or with others to identify facts in the source that can be used in Wikipedia. You can find sources to survey using the list of topics below. You can annotate the source and keep a record of what has and hasn't been surveyed. Because of copyright restrictions and lack of features it is difficult to annotate a source on Wikimedia projects. You can use whichever platform you want to e.g Google Docs. If you have an issue that you cannot resolve explain it on the page and move the page from 'In progress' to 'Help needed'.

3. Add the facts into Wikipedia
Rewrite the facts and add them to Wikipedia, you have to rewrite the facts in your own words so you don’t break copyright. Use additional references from other sources where possible (ideally at least others) to show the notability of the topic. If you identify a topic which should be included in Wikipedia which isn’t you can add it to Wikidata, request the article is created or create it yourself.

Additionally if a source is available under a Wikipedia compatible open license text can be copied into Wikipedia (using this guidance) and images and other media can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. {| cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0"
