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.

First tasks

[edit]

Pnmarizan, You have completed most of the tasks!  Partly done You just need to edit your user page and add some wikilinks to articles in Wikipedia, such as University of Southern Indiana. The tutorial, or Wikipedia:Training/For_students, should help you get started. It's very easy once you get going. Once you've edited your page your User:Pnmarizan link in signature will change from red to blue. Crtew (talk) 22:08, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on =aboutme= requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. RA0808 talkcontribs 17:36, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You wrote on the talk page: "This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because is my own Biography. I am working on it for a class I take at my university. It is require to have a page like this in order to pass the class."
Wikipedia is not a place like LinkedIn or Facebook for people to write about themselves. It is a different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles, and writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Wikipedia:Autobiography.
I think what is intended is that you should write something on your user page at User:Pnmarizan, but that is not intended for a full autobiography, more for something about yourself in relation to your intended Wikipedia work. Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social-networking sites. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST:

"Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. Limited biographical information is allowed, but user pages should not function as personal webpages or be repositories for large amounts of material that is irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you are looking to make a personal webpage or blog or to post your résumé, please make use of one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account."

Leave a message for me if you have any questions about this. Good luck with your course. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 18:43, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Pnmarizan, JohnCD is right. You're to write just a little bit about yourself at User:Pnmarizan so that you can practice editing in Wikipedia. Our user pages are not part of Wikipedia the Encyclopedia as people generally think about the project. That's why we all have User: in front of our page names and User talk: for conversations amongst writers/editors/workers. It looks like you have tried to publish what was intended for your own user page to the Encyclopedia. That happens sometimes as people learn how to use it. I always say, "Don't worry, you're not going to break anything in Wikipedia because somebody will come around and fix it or correct it." It should be fairly easy to do what you want to do, but you can always come to me and I can show you in a one-on-one tutorial.
On this page, look to the right of the Wikipedia logo and you'll see "User page" and "Talk". If you're reading this, then you're on your User talk: page. Once you click on "User page", it will say "Creating User:Pnmarizan" and give you an edit box. Just write "hello world" or something lame like that and save! You should see immediately that you have created your talk page. From then on you just click on "edit this page" and you're off! Good luck Pnmarizan, Crtew (talk) 20:38, 25 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
