Wikipedia
Yes, wikipedia does have its own rather byzantine nature, you could easily get lost in arcane details of the Manual of Style !

But if you start with the big three ideas about content and the big three ideas about interaction, you have the basics.

article content
 * WP:V = must be verifiable as having been previously published
 * WP:RS = in a source with a reputation for fact checking and accuracy
 * WP:NPOV = and presented in a Neutral Point of View, representing all sides of the scholarship or debate, in proportion that they are held by mainstream academics today.

interaction
 * WP:CON = wikipedia works by consensus, attempting to get to a point where all editors involved can live with the solution that meets wikipedia's content requirements
 * WP:3R = edit warring will not build such a consensus and so is a blockable offense
 * WP:NPA = dont make personal attacks about another person. stay focused on how to make the content meet wikipedia's criteria, and not on the contributor.

So, be WP:BOLD, you cannot break the encyclopedia and if you make a mistake, it can always be undone. -- The Red Pen of Doom  12:22, 19 March 2012 (UTC)

Gaurav Pruthi talk 04:13, 25 April 2013 (UTC) =sa As reviewing administrator, I didn't delete it, but you must very quickly add content and references. If you decide that the article cannot presently meet our standards, & you do not have time to develop it adequately. you can facilitate matters by placing at the top a line reading :, and it will be quickly deleted.. When you have the necessary material, then try again. I do not want to discourage you, but to urge you to continue to contribute. If I can help you further, let me know on my user talk page.

Questions
I'd created a page which could use help and contributions from other people. What's the fastest way to summon those who would like to help develop that page?


 * Use the Accio spell :P
 * On a more serious note, look for the WIkiProjects under which the page could fall, and ping them for help. That will be the best way to find others, except direct contact.

 * Hi. If you are talking about List of The Daily Show episodes (2012), then it would be best to seek help from editors at WP:TV who specializes in dealing with the television series or other forms of episodic programs. WP:TVE is the task force of that wikiproject for the coverage of episode related content. That means you will find editors at there who can help you improve your article. Just leave a message at WT:TV and editors interested will help you. Cheers! --Ushau97 (talk) 11:42, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
