Tips- Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
- It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
- If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue on the article's talk page. Be civil, and reach a consensus there before restoring the edit.
- Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
- When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source. Do not use AI-generated text.
- If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
- Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

- Hello, and thanks for this message. I had already got started, actually! I've written an entry for Charles Gorham, and have added tags, and I believe I have submitted it for review, but what happened when I clicked that button was very confusing. I wonder if there is a way for you to let me know whether or not I have done that correctly and if it is indeed in a queue for review. Thank you!

Future articles
- Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without submitting a draft for review. However, you may continue submitting drafts to Articles for creation if you prefer.
- Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.
Next steps
- Find other Wikipedia articles related to your topic and add links pointing to the new article. This helps readers find it.
- Group the article with similar subjects by adding relevant categories.
- You may consider nominating a fact from the article within the next 7 days to appear on the Main Page's Did you know section.
- Wikipedia is a work in progress. You can continue to expand and improve the new article.
- The new article will become eligible to be indexed on search engines once patrolled or after 90 days; search engines may take time to reflect this.
- For friendly peer support regarding editing, sourcing, or policies, visit the Teahouse, a question and answer hub for new editors.
Thanks again, and happy editing!
GTrang (talk) 23:06, 14 August 2026 (UTC)- Hi! And thank you! I've realised that the article can't be found by searching for "Charles Gorham", and I imagine that this is because his dates are included in the title. Shouldn't have done that! So I want to edit the title, and can't seem to. Can you help me? Alison Jean Lester (talk) 19:16, 16 August 2026 (UTC)
