Submitting an article
I would like to submit an article about a place in my country. It is a small article and I don't have reffernces because for me it is general knowledge. How can I get around this problem? --Thebooklore (talk) 12:49, 22 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Writing a new article is dead easy – simply follow the steps at Your first article. All new articles really should have references, though, but if you want to let me know the subject of your proposed article I'd gladly see if I can help you find something to verify the article.

 * It is about Qurum, a district in Muscat, the capital of Oman. I spotted a red hyperlink of it in Muscat, Oman page. When I clicked on it it said that wikipedia has no article on it, so I decided I would create one, especially since I know about this topic (it's common knowledge for a citizen of Muscat).

 * I've started an article off (with references) at Qurum. You're welcome to get going with it! I really don't know much about this part of the world, but skimming through the Muscat, Oman article it seems as if we could put a nice amount of information about the Qurum Nature Reserve (who knows, maybe that could have its own article!).  Let me know if you need any help.  matt (talk) 13:46, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
