You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.

Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.

Play in your user area. For example, create User:Enemies within/test.

Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.

When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

Thank you for your message on my talk page. I am afraid that your diatribe against Brown Brothers Harriman was nothing more than that, an unencyclopedic rant and your "reference" was merely to the "The National Archives and Library of Congress" with no specificity. If you believe that the article should deal with these issues, please discuss on the article's talk page and provide specific, detailed references from reliable sources that support your points, so that an attempt can be made to reach consensus. I remind you that the onus is on you to provide references supporting the points you are trying to make. Without them, and even with them if done in the wrong way, you are merely pushing a non-neutral point of view. Thank you. – ukexpat (talk) 13:45, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
