==Let's say I want to create an article. I register for wikipedia and become autoconfirmed. I go to the namespace and click to create Foo Foods. The edit window opens and I see a fair amount to read at the top of that window.==

I choose Article Wizard. I click through the following:

 * Article wizard, which gives an option for going to the sandbox for experimentation.

Clicking "Next" I get:

 * Article wizard/Referencing

Clicking "Next" I get:

 * Article wizard/Content

After I self disclose I'm not connected, I get:

 * Article_wizard/CreateDraft

Inserting "Foo Foods" and clicking create article draft gets us here:

Instructions
Creating a draft article takes four steps. Please read carefully. 1. Enter the content of your article in the blank area as illustrated. You may use the Wikipedia Cheatsheet to properly format your article.
 * Remember to use your own words. Do not copy content from another website.

2. List your references in the bulleted area provided or cite them using inline citations. (See example.)
 * Review what is a "reliable source".

3. If you require assistance with your submission, visit our live chat. You may use any nickname you would like, provided that it isn't already taken. 4. When you are finished writing, click the "Publish page" button. You are all done! We appreciate your submission.

Important


 * Please note: Once you click the "publish" button, your draft is saved in a public drafting area. You may continue to work on your draft as long as you like; there is no deadline, but bear in mind that if the draft isn't edited in six months, it may be deleted.
 * If the draft is declined, you will still be able to edit it. It is simply marked as declined.
 * When you feel your draft is ready to become an article, you can request a review (or a re-review). To do so, edit your draft, by clicking on its "Edit" button, and add at the beginning of your draft.

Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted. Encyclopedic content must be verifiable through citations to reliable sources.
