User:N00blibrarian/LibraryBioProject

Hi and welcome! Below are the list of resources for getting started on the project. The first thing you want to do, if you haven't already, is create an account. If you have any questions as you look over the page, please feel free to send me a message!

You can take a look at the suggested pages below for someplace to start, or just browse the blog index. If you're creating a new article, make sure the subject passes wikipedia's notability guidelines first, and note that sourcing requirements are particularly strict for living people.

Please add your username next to the page you're working on if it's already listed, and add it with your username if it doesn't, so we know who's working on what.

If you'd like to start by editing existing pages you can skip to the Cheat Sheet and the list of pages for improvement

If you'd like to start a new article, I recommend you start it in your own userspace. This page is an example of a userspace page: If you look at the URL in your browser, it should read " https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:N00blibrarian/LibraryBioProject ." You can create a page in your own userpace by clicking on your username at the top of the page, and then adding a slash (/) and the name you want. No spaces! When you feel the page is ready to go, click the 'more' menu at the top of the page and select 'move.' Make sure you select 'Article' from the dropdown on the left. Type the subject's name as it is most commonly given (that is, only use middle names and so forth if they are very commonly included.) If there is already an article by that name, add (Librarian) or similar after the subject's name. Check Help:Moving a page if you need to know more.

As always, if you need help, ping me on my userpage!

Most of these are posts with fewer references which I didn't find more resources for or haven't had time to look into.
