There are many ways you can contribute to Wikipedia. Here are a few ideas:
  Fight vandalism
  Be a WikiFairy or a WikiGnome
  Help contribute to articles
           
  Perform maintenance tasks
  Become a member of a project that interests you
  Help design new templates

Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp.

The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun!
To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can create your own private sandbox for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put {{My sandbox}} on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Mikelswank", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because although it could be meant as "Mikel Swank", many people might read it as "Mikel's Wank" (the word wank is vulgar in English). If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Belchior90 (talk) 16:18, 25 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I noticed that you have changed your username. However, the new username still contains the word "wank", which is offensive. Would you please consider changing to a username that does not contain "wank"? See the message above for instructions on changing your username. Thank you.
