Creating an article on Wikipedia
editIn response to your question at the Help Desk: 
To create an article, follow these steps:
- Read Your first article carefully.
- If you don't have an account, consider creating one (it's not essential, but it makes some things easier, especially communicating with other editors) and logging in.
- Learn the basics of editing with the Wikipedia:Tutorial
- Make sure the subject is notable enough to warrant a stand-alone article
- Gather reliable sources to cite in the article
- Make sure no article on the subject exists under a different title by typing the subject into the search box and clicking 'Search'
- Use the Article Wizard to create a draft.
- Create the article, including all your references, making sure you adhere to the Manual of Style and our article layout guidelines. Base the article on what the references say, rather than on what you know.
- Once you believe that your draft meets Wikipedia's requirements, submit it for review by picking the "Submit your draft for review" button in the draft.
- Be aware that many drafts are not accepted the first time, or even the second time they are submitted for review, for failing to adhere to our policies and guidelines. New articles by new users are particularly likely not to be accepted, due to new users' unfamiliarity with our rules. Consider gaining experience by editing existing articles before attempting to create new ones. Seagull123 Φ 17:13, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
