Tips

Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

The one line I would emphasise is Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make. The hard part of being a Wikipedia "editor" is finding evidence (in the form of reliable sources) for what you contribute. Making it look pretty is something anybody can do given familiarity, but once you get settled in, you should at least skim read WP:citing sources (just.

Last thing: I will watch your talk page until 8 Jan. If you need to contact me thereafter, please use user talk:JMF. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 17:02, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
