Develop your article in your sandbox
Hi, Tess. It will take a bit of time and effort to learn about Wikipedia. It's not really difficult. Start by creating your own sandbox by clicking HERE. Then cut-and-paste the article start from your userpage to your sandbox and save the sandbox.

Your userpage should be about you and your activity on Wikipedia. Click on my name in my signature to see my userpage. Take a look at my sandbox by clicking here. As you can see, I use it as a directory to some of my projects like a biography of an early ornithologist, Cordelia Stanwood.

One easy way to make your article is to look at existing articles like Everyman and Playhouse Youth Theatre and Mosaic Youth Theatre of Detroit. Neither is particularly good by Wikipedia standards but neither are they at risk of being quickly deleted. Click on the Edit tab at the top of an article to see the code that creates the look. You can copy-and-paste headings and then type in your own text to make your article. You'll learn wiki-code as you build your article (which I found much easier than trying to learn wiki-code by itself).

Hope you find this helpful, DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ) WER 18:13, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
