You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.

Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.

Play in your user area. For example, create User:Cornishbruce/test.

Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.

When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

Saltash and Tamar Valley History

I removed the link you added to http://www.brucehunt.co.uk/ for a few reasons; firstly, it was in the wrong section - it is not an appropriate reference, but it would go in external links; secondly, I am concerned that there have been problems with excess links on that article in the past, and the link may not meet the WP:EL policy requirements; thirdly, from your username, I wonder if you have a conflict of interest.

If you believe the link does meet the appropriate policies, please let us discuss it on the talk page of the article - Talk:Saltash - get more opinions, and try to work out the consensus. Thanks, Chzz ► 11:19, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
