Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. The Arch Linux ARM article is currently a barebones stub, and it would benefit from expansion with more detailed information that can be suitably referenced with reliable sources. Things that may be added include development history, specifications, features, and critical reception, in addition to any significantly particular things of note that don't fall into any specific category. I suggest that, as a new editor, you should be bold and do what you can when editing, and not worry about making mistakes; other users are around to fix up any mistakes which arise, and can help lead you along the way as well.

Firstly, I would recommend you familiarise yourself with the manual of style explaining the general format of articles, in addition to how information should be sourced and where to find sources that are acceptable, these are pretty much all you need to be concerned with at this stage. If you are new to the concept of Wiki markup, then this page may also be useful to read as well, and as you spend a bit more time working on Wikipedia, this manual may help with understanding more specific concepts. If you do have questions or things that you're unsure with, there are many volunteers who are happy to provide answers here.

I hope you enjoy your stay, --benlisquare_T•C•E 00:33, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Benlisquare: - Thanks for the help, Benlisquare. Now I have a good starting place and some good reference resources. One more question- There doesn't seem to be much information no Arch Linux ARM; would it be safe to cite sources on standard Arch Linux, seeing as Arch Linux ARM is still Arch Linux, just a port to a different processor architecture? Thanks. -Linux o'Linus (talk) 21:03, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What kind of information are you referring to, when you ask whether sources on standard Arch Linux should be used? If it is information regarding standard Arch Linux, chances are that the information is better placed in the Arch Linux article, rather than the article about the ARM port. --benlisquare_T•C•E 02:20, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
