Are you a newcomer to Wikipedia? Here are some resources that you may find helpful:

• There's this video that explains some of the basics of how Wikipedia works. It's aimed more towards readers than editors, but it can give a decent foundation of some things to be aware of before you start editing. This video by an experienced Wikipedian provides more substantial advice.
• The Wikipedia Adventure. This is a very basic (and somewhat eccentric) editing tutorial.
• Do you have a conflict-of-interest? Read this guide. It's also important to be aware of an ongoing scam.
• Category:All stub articles which is organized alphabetically and by topic. All these articles could be expanded!
• This is a tutorial for what to know if you wanted to create an article. Our guideline on what is notable for inclusion on the site is a crucial part of this process.
• Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch – advice on phrasing to avoid when editing
• This page is a glossary of different terms used on Wikipedia that can help you understand what people are talking about if you come across an unfamiliar acronym.
• Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory – this is a list of wikiprojects. Some are way more active than others but it's a decent way to try and find groups of articles that match your interests. I'm particularly fond of Wikipedia:WikiProject Canada and the associated challenge for improving articles.
• This is the perennial sources list, which can be helpful if you're not sure if something is a reliable source. If it's not on this list and you have concerns, try this noticeboard.
• If you are in a disagreement with another editor, you can try asking for a third opinion. There are also other processes for dispute resolution.
• The Wikipedia Library – this cannot be used until you have 6 months tenure, no active blocks, and 500 edits. However, once you meet the criteria, it is a very useful resource. There is also the Wikipedia:Resource Exchange. I have subscriptions to the Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, and Niagara Falls Review, if you ever want me to verify something for you. I also have access to the James A. Gibson library at Brock University.

No reason really, just a fox

	Happy holidays and a prosperous 2025!
	Hannah, this must have been an absolutely wild year for you. I am writing Christmas cards for some wikifriends, but you are getting yours a little early. I am sending this on the one year anniversary of awarding you the administrator without tools, which jumpstarted your RfA. I realized that I would be around, so I have (hopefully) timed it down to the minute. From RfA, then nominating Elli (who is now on ArbCom!), then winning Wikimedian of the Year, and nominating Significa liberdade is amazing; you deserve to pat yourself on the back. It was great to meet you at WCNA, and I hope to see you again soon. Best of luck to you and yours in 2025 :) HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 20:52, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How do you create an article? --Creeper736 (talk) 21:27, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Creeper736: Well, Wikipedia has notability standards, so some subjects are more viable than others. This guide explains things in more detail, but the gist is that you want to provide three reliable sources that cover the subject in detail. There's additional criteria if you're writing about a business or organization. I'll leave some helpful links on your talk page and feel free to ask me any questions if you have them.
