Newbie Central

__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"headingLevel":2,"name":"h-","type":"heading","level":0,"id":"h-Newbie_Central","replies":[]}}-->

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.

Happy New Year and Happy New WikiCup! The 2025 competition has just begun and all article creators, expanders, improvers and reviewers are welcome to take part. Even if you are a novice editor, we hope the WikiCup will give you a chance to improve your editing skills as you go. If you have already signed up, your submissions page can be found here. If you have not yet signed up, you can add your name here and the judges will set up your submissions page ready for you to take part. Any questions on the scoring, rules or anything else should be directed to one of the judges, or posted to the WikiCup talk page.

For the 2025 WikiCup, we've implemented several changes to the scoring system. The highest-ranking contestants will now receive tournament points at the end of each round, and final rankings are decided by the number of tournament points each contestant has. If you're busy and can't sign up in January, don't worry: Signups are now open throughout the year. To make things fairer for latecomers, the lowest-scoring contestants will no longer be eliminated at the end of each round.

The first round will end on 26 February. The judges for the WikiCup this year are: Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs · email), Epicgenius (talk · contribs · email), Frostly (talk · contribs · email), Guerillero (talk · contribs · email) and Lee Vilenski (talk · contribs · email). Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Happy New Year!

Clovermoss,
Have a prosperous, productive and wonderful New Year, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia.

Hopefully 2025 is a good year for Wikipedia, Canada, and the world.

@Cremastra: Thank you! I'm hoping that this year will be a good one. While you're here, maybe you'll be inspired by my New Year's resolutions. They can be found at User:Clovermoss/Reach for the stars.

Goodness. Sounds like you'll be busy.

@Cremastra: Especially when the intended subject for the one FA is Jehovah's Witnesses! That said, I think I'll be able to do it all. I thought about how to make my goals a mixture of both realistic and challenging for a good while earlier this fall.
