Where to begin

[edit]
  1. Create your user page (if you don't have one already)
    • New editors - consider adding a line, "Participating in an editathon on 15 June" and linking to this project page - this will let other editors know that you are just starting out
    • More experienced editors are welcome to link to this page too from their user page if they would like to
  2. Choose a topic from the list - either an article to edit or an article to create
  3. Edit the Articles for Creation or Articles for Editing section to put your Wikipedia username against the one you have chosen (talk to Rubicon9bce or another experienced editor if you are having trouble with the table format) and save your changes
  4. Consult the resources listed and the resources being provided by the PHG
    • If you aren't sure about what to include or how to use a reference, check with Rubicon49bce or one of the PHG members
  5. Make your changes (remember, you must write in your own words unless adding a cited quotation, and must cite your sources) and save
  6. When you are finished with one article, choose another!

Editing Wikipedia articles
