The paper approach

edit

If you are keen- there are multiple ways to start. You can meet up with us at the wikimedia:Meetup/London/105 this Sunday. You can use my talk page for specific questions- but if you want the comfort of paper I have several training booklets that you can download via User:ClemRutter/training- first four are the most current.

Photographs are useful- that is another ball game if you have hundreds. However, with political articles its the references that count- on the <source editor> hit Cite, and then use the Templates Drop box. Back up every fact with a supporting reference (or as much as you can fill in)- others will come and help with the difficult bits.
