Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Jonathan Cardy (WMUK)! Thank you for coming here. I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. You can also check out Wikipedia:Questions or type {{help me}} at the bottom of this page. Here are some tips that you might find helpful:
- Link to other articles with [[double square brackets]]
- Click here for some articles where you can practice adding links to other articles. When you've got at least two blue links in the article you can remove the code {{Dead end|date=Month year}} from near the top of the page.
- Add pictures from Wikimedia Commons using [[double square brackets with|thumb for thumbnail|Left, right or center so it knows where to go|a meaningful caption|alt=a description for blind people]]
- Example [[Image:Chocolate chip cookies.jpg|thumb|right|Wiki biscuits are guaranteed zero calories! ]]
- Click here for an exercise in adding images to articles.
- Add headings with ==double equal signs==
- If an article has sections two editors can edit different sections simultaneously without edit conflicts. Add enough sections and you get a contents section.
- Click here for articles where you can practice adding sections when you've finished splitting an article into sections you can remove the code {{sections|date=Month year}} from the top of the page.
- ===subheadings are similar===
- When you add information to Wikipedia please precis things in your own words, and tell us where you got the information from in the following format <ref>[The webpage, book or magazine you are citing, a description, the word "retrieved" and today's date]</ref>
- If you find unreferenced information on Wikipedia that you consider dubious or unlikely, first try to reference it with a search on the internet. If you know it is wrong correct it, if you can't find a source then {{fact}} adds the famous [citation needed]. If after a week no-one has referenced the information feel free to remove it.
- ''Double single quotes'' gives you Italic and '''triple quotes'' Bold.
- Help:Wiki markup has everything from hieroglyphs to mathematical notation
- How to write a great article
