Wikipedia is one of the world's fastest growing internet sites. We aim to build the biggest and most comprehensive encyclopaedia in the world. To date we have over four million articles in a host of languages. The English language Wikipedia alone has over one million articles! But we still need more! Please feel free to contribute your knowledge and expertise to our site.

If you need help see:
 * Help contents - the main help page.
 * Quick guide - a "cheatsheet" listing the main editing commands.

Here are a few more good links for newcomers:
