perhaps start with an article in Draft space
Hi, Paul.K.O'Dwyer, glad u are here. The above message is a "canned" message but I am a real person and do want to welcome you. Feel free to respond to me here and I will probably see, because I will "watchlist" this page. But feel free to post to my own Talk page to get my attention, especially if I seem not to have noticed something here. Oh, by the way, sorry about the weird editing environment here. It is like writing in a combo of text and HTML tags, and what you type is not formatted like what you will see once you submit your edit. And when you post on a Talk page like here, it is weird you should try to sign using four tilde (~) characters.

To get started, you might want to type something in your own "sandbox", maybe that is mentioned in links above. Or you could create a new article in "Draft" space where you can work on it without getting slammed by new page patrollers. And others like me could review it and/or help edit it, before you move it into "mainspace". We were talking about the article List of prophecies of Joseph Smith elsewhere. Given your stated interest, maybe you want to start an article in draftspace titled something like Draft/List of unfulfilled prophecies of Joseph Smith (currently a redlink), or "List of open prophecies" or the like. You can click on that redlink to open an editing page, and just start. And it can be "moved" to a different title by you later. Or you could set up a link from here to a different title, to start. Just put double square brackets around the title you want, that makes a wikilink to it. --Doncram (talk) 00:04, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
