Creating New Articles
[edit]Looking over your contribution history, it looks like you're having difficulty creating new articles. If you don't mind a suggestion...try creating the article in your userspace first. I can teach you how to do this if you like. Then, after you've worked on the article for a while, ask someone (again, I'm happy to help) review the article. Then, we can make suggestions and help it get better. If the article is then ready, we can move it into the mainspace.
However, no matter what you do, do not under any circumstances copy information from other websites onto Wikipedia. This is a violation of copyright laws, and is strictly forbidden.
A final suggestion--I personally think that it's best for new users to work on other, existing articles, first, before trying to create new ones. Not everyone agrees with me on this, but working on already existing articles allows you to more gradually learn Wikipedia's rules and interact with other (hopefully) more experienced editors. Then you can later on try making new pages, once you understand what is required for a page to exist (notability, reliable sources, etc.). Again, I'm happy to help.

- For example, the article you just tried to create basically already exists, at Biomedical engineering. Why don't you try looking at that page and making some changes there (if needed), instead of taking another copyrighted work here, on a subject that already exists? In other words, even if you fixed the copyright problems on your newly created article, it would still have to be deleted because it's just duplicating material we already have.
