- Wikipedia:Starting an article, another similar guide.
- Wikipedia:Tutorial for a more general help on using Wikipedia and the MediaWiki software.
- Wikipedia:Writing better articles, a sort of intermediate-to-advanced level guide for really writting good articles.
- Wikipedia:Ownership of articles, be aware that anything you write belongs to the community, and you don't have control over it once you set it up at Wikipedia.
