The encyclopedia you can [edit]
Creating an account is optional, but often a good idea!
Wikipedia is open to editing by anyone; you do not need an account to edit most articles, but there are some advantages to creating an account. They include:
- the ability to keep track of pages that interest you through a "watchlist"
- the ability to create a unique username identity by which others will know you;
- the ability to create your own user page where you can write a bit about yourself, if you choose;
- the choice to allow other users to contact you by email. (This feature is anonymous — the user who emails you will not know your email address. You don't have to give your email address if you don't want to.)
- the ability to rename pages.

Be bold! Improve the article that brought you to us or any other article you like. You can add information, find sources, correct spelling errors or grammar. You can even create a new article (although some people prefer to get some practice first). Remember: whether contributing a little or a lot, volunteers are the lifeblood of Wikipedia. Any work you choose to do to help build a better free encyclopedia will bring us that much closer to a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.
