Instructions
Creating a draft article takes five steps. Please read carefully.
- Leave the box labelled "Subject/headline:" blank.
- Place the content of your article in the blank area as illustrated. You may use the Wikipedia Cheatsheet to properly format your article.
- Remember to use your own words. Do not copy content from another website.
- List your references in the bulleted area provided.
- After listing your references, cite them using inline citations. (See example.)
- Review what a "reliable source" is under Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources.
- If you require assistance with your submission, visit our live chat. You may use any nickname you would like, provided that it isn't already taken.
- When you are finished writing, click the "Save page" button. You are all done! We appreciate your submission.
Important
- Please note: Once you click the "save" button, your draft is published. You may continue to work on your draft as long as you like, there is no deadline.
- If the draft is declined, you will still be able to edit it. It is simply marked as declined.
- When you feel your draft is ready to become an article, you can request a review (or a rereview). To do so, edit your draft, by clicking on its “Edit” link, and add
{{subst:submit}}
at the beginning of your draft.
