looking for adoption by another wikipedian? --KingLeian (talk) 05:15, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


 * There you go - that little blue/green box will let adopters know you're looking for someone, although it may take a few days for them to make an offer. In the meantime, the big box I provided above it should help you to get started, and of course you're more than welcome to keep asking questions this way. Welcome to Wikipedia!

Requesting articles
You can request an article at WP:RA. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 05:38, 27 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Don't really have any, no - you might want to look through WP:1ST, though. It'll give you some instructions on how to proceed and maybe some ideas. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 05:57, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Writing new articles
I must warn you in advance that writing new articles is the hardest thing to do on Wikipedia because it encompasses pretty much the entire skill set a good editor has. That said, I want to help new editors in this particular field and want to test a course I'm trying to set up for this very purpose, so if you're interested, please leave a note on my talk/discussion page and let me know what topics interest you and what potential articles you'd like to write. - Mgm|(talk) 12:27, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * A good article is verifiable, which means everything in it is backed up by reliable sources. (Most of those should be independent from the subject too). I can highly recommend Uncle G's recommendations on the subject User:Uncle G/On sources and content. To get started you should:
 * 1) pick one article topic you would like to write about
 * 2) Search for it and related topics to make sure it's not already covered on Wikipedia
 * 3) Collect newspaper reports, books, websites and magazines that discuss the subject to use as sources

Go ahead, pick a couple of topics and tell me why you think they should be included. After that we can pick one topic to write an entire article for. - Mgm|(talk) 19:25, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
