Welcome, and advice relating to creating articles
Hello, and welcome to contributing to Wikipedia. I hope you will have a successful time here. I see that on your user page you have indicated that you intend to create articles. You are of course welcome to do so, but I think it may help to give you a warning. Creating new articles is one of the most difficult tasks to perform, and many new editors who start doing so have a frustrating time, because they repeatedly see their work rejected or deleted, because it is seen as not complying with Wikipedia's standards. Theoretically, one could read Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and learn what is required, but an understanding of what those policies and guidelines mean in practice comes only with experience of seeing how they are applied. My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start.
