Instructions
Creating a draft article takes four steps. Please read carefully.
- 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.
- List your references in the bulleted area provided or cite them using inline citations. (See example.)
- Review what is a "reliable source".
- If you need help with your submission, you can visit our IRC chat or Discord. You may use any nickname you like which isn't already taken.
- 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
{{subst:submit}}
at the beginning of your draft.
