- Oh my bad. I was just hoping to find someone to help me create my first article. HighStone06 (talk) 10:11, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
- Many (many, many, many) new editors join with an intent to start by creating articles. A better path to succeeding at article creation is to first commit to months of improving existing articles. Doing this teaches you if you are editing correctly, because other editors will revert your mistakes and explain what you did wrong. Best to select articles you already know about. Only then essay to create an article. P.S. The volunteers at Teahouse are there to advise, but not to help create. David notMD (talk) 11:28, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
- Wikipedia:Userboxes/Galleries lists hundreds of Userboxes you can choose from to build your User page. David notMD (talk) 11:35, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
