You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Lead section: The lead section here is written like an introduction. What you want, instead, is just a short summary of the rest of the article: a mini-article.

The first sentence should go something like "Article title is..." Check out pages 7-9 in the Editing Wikipedia pdf for more info on the lead section. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
