User talk:Dr. Raihan kabir

Welcome!

 * Wikipedia is not a web host for holding personal web pages unrelated to work on building the encyclopaedia. You are, of course, very welcome to start making contributions to the encyclopaedia, in line with Wikipedia policies and guidelines if you are interested in doing so, but if your only interest is in writing a personal web page, then there are many web sites which provide that sort of service, but Wikipedia is not one of them.

 * I got it.....and I want to contribute in devoloping Wikipedia.I am new here....give me some task Dr. Raihan kabir (talk) 16:00, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I can't personally give you tasks — not that I know of — but if you want something to do, you can join some WikiProjects which are "a group of contributors who want to work together as a team to improve Wikipedia." There, you will get all of the information of how to join and more! When you do join a project, there will be a section entitled "To-Do" or even "Plans" and there you can help! Hope this help! If you need help on anything feel free to post on my talk page or even email me! Jack Reynolds (talk to me!) (email me!!) 16:23, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

It's very difficult to give a new editor tasks to perform, for several reasons, including the fact that we don't yet know what you will be good at, or what you will be interested in doing, but I will try to give a few suggestions as to how you can get started.

My personal impression, built up over the course of many years, is that the best way to get started as an editor is to look for small details in articles that need correction. Almost all of us, when we start editing, know little or nothing about how Wikipedia editing works, so most of us make quite a lot of mistakes at first. (When I started I did some things which I now realise were seriously mistaken, and I don't blame anyone else for doing the same.) The advantages of starting with very small details are firstly that any mistakes you make will be small ones, so you won't waste a lot of time and work on things which other editors then just revert, and secondly you don't run the risk of doing things which are considered totally unacceptable, resulting in problems. When I started editing I didn't have a user account, and I don't remember what my first edits were, but I am pretty sure they were very tiny. My first edit from this account was removing an apostrophe that shouldn't have been there, but early edits don't have to be quite as trivial as that.

If you do start with correcting tiny details you will gradually build up experience, and learn what is acceptable, so that after a while you will know well enough how things work to be able to do bigger things without fear of getting into problems. Also, you will find for yourself what sort of thing you feel happy doing; some people write a lot of new articles, others specialise in improving existing ones, others concentrate on anti-vandalism work, and so on. If you start editing in small ways and keep going, you will eventually find out what way of contributing suits you, which is something nobody else can advise you on.

I do suggest looking at some of the pages linked to in the welcome message that Jack Reynolds has posted above, to see if there is anything there that you find helpful. Don't try to read everything there and learn it all before you get going, because there's far too much to take in all at once, but have a quick look to see if there's anything that you find helpful, and of course you can always come back to it in the future when things there that aren't relevant now become relevant to what you are doing.

Finally, you are very welcome to ask for further help on my talk page if you have any questions]]. JBW (talk) 22:09, 18 January 2021 (UTC)
