Using Wikipedia
| ||
---|---|---|
Wikipedia is home to many collaboratively edited help pages and tutorials. This section is an annotated index to help you decide what information to look for and where. | ||
The basics[edit]Wikipedia is the sum of what is known about various topics. Anyone is allowed to add or edit text, references, images, and other media here, including yourself. As such, there is no single point of contact, and decisions are made through reason-giving and discussion. As long as we show and assume good faith, everyone's input is equally valuable (Wikipedia:Assume good faith). No one's input is more valid than anyone else's by default, regardless of who they are, how much recognition they have within or outside of Wikipedia, and how long they have been editing. What is contributed is more important than who contributes it. Where to start[edit]At first, the sheer size and scope of Wikipedia can seem a bit overwhelming. There is no need to understand everything from the start. We all learn as we go. Keep in mind:
How to edit[edit]
as it is acceptable to use common sense as you go about editing. Wikipedia not only allows you to create, revise, and edit articles, but it wants you to do so. You just need to remember that you can't break Wikipedia and although there are many protocols, perfection is not required, as Wikipedia is a work in progress. Collaborative editing means that incomplete or poorly written first drafts can evolve over time into excellent articles.
Copyright[edit]To remain, the content must be free of copyright restrictions and contentious material about living people. It must fit within Wikipedia's policies, including being verifiable against a published reliable source. How to edit[edit]
