Help me!
Please help me with starting a new page. I am new to Wikipedia. When will I be able to create a page that does not exist? Thank you!

 * Welcome to Wikipedia! The best place for a new user to begin with creating articles is here. Follow the directions there and a more experienced editor will review your submission and determine if it is ready to be published in the Main space of Wikipedia. If you'd like, feel free to leave a message on my talk page when you have an article ready to submit and I will be happy to review it for you! Again, welcome!

Additional tips...


 * Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes ( ~ ). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The [[File:Button sig.png]] or [[File:Insert-signature.png]] button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.
 * If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills without changing the mainspace, the Sandbox is for you.

Jmpinter, good luck, and have fun.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 17:43, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
 * I particularly want to recommend reading your first article before attempting to create an article. Creating a new article is quite difficult, so we advise people to spend a considerable time improving other articles before trying to create a new one. It basically amounts to advice to make lots of little mistakes one at a time, and learn from them, rather than make one big mess of mistakes all combined in a way that's hard to untangle. In the long run, you'll have your first article completed sooner, even though it seems like a detour.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 17:43, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
