Your article Araminta
If you look at the first of the "Five Pillars" in the links above, you'll see that one of the most important Wikipedia principles is verifiability - users shouldn't just put in their own opinions or things they think they know, they need to provide a reliable source so that the information can ve verified. Rather than just tag your article "needs references", I had a look to see if I could find any confirmation of the name coming from a lady called "Ara Minta", but I couldn't. So I have altered the article to show what I did find (that it first appears in a Congreve play in 1693, but it's not known where he got it from) and to give the reference where I found it. That's how Wikipedia works - anyone who thinks he or she can improve an article just gets on and does it. Have a look at the links in the Welcome paragraph above to learn more about contributing, and at the guide to writing Your First Article - which is useful for your second article, too!
