Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, if your class doesn't already have one. It is highly recommended that you place this text:  on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Stuartyeates (talk) 08:56, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Did You Know? and Lime-Kiln Club
Hi Cbazinet, Looking at your draft it seems like this is a great new article. When move it into the "article" space you may be interested in the "Did You Know?" process, where community members highlight new or expanded articles on the front page. Once move it you'll have 7 days to nominate the article should you choose to do so.

You can see an overview of the process here, but the gist of it is that you come up with a short hook (~100-150 characters) illustrating a salient or interesting fact on the subject, for example "..The Lime-Kiln Club was a fictitious fraternal organization of African-Americans created by writer and journalist Charles Bertrand Lewis?" and add that hook to the nominations page (see the handout for how to do that, exactly). Another volunteer will evaluate the submission and if it is successful (once the article is nominated that 7 day clock stops) it will be placed on the front page for a period of time. Articles featured through the "Did You Know?" process often see 1-3 thousand page views while they are on the main page (Which can be kinda cool).

Let me know if this is something you'd be interested in doing and I'd be happy to help with any of the steps along the way. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk • contribs) 22:26, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
