At Wikipedia, writing articles is not a requirement, but it certainly is a fun and easy way to express your creativity. To write an article, it's recommended that you start it in your userspace (for example, User:DolphinL/Article about stuff) so you can edit it at your leisure. If you decide to create it in the cold world of mainspace, make sure it is in accordance with the policies laid out above, and if you're not done put the "Work-In-Progress" template - {{WIP}} - onto it as well.
If you're strapped for things to do, check out UN:WYCD or browse our rewrite and idea categories. We have lots of articles just sitting around for someone to improve, so don't be afraid - dive right in!
"But, Syndrome, sir," you say, "what if I don't want to write dry encyclopedic twaddle?" Well, I'm glad you asked! We have many side projects here, such as UnScripts for budding young Shakespeares, UnNews for our cub reporters, or even Image Request if you're more of a potato chopper than a writer. The possibilities here are endless!
If you need help, ask me on my talk page, ask at the Dump, or ask an administrator on their talk page. Additionally, the Wikipedian Adopt-a-Noob program is there to bring experienced editors straight to you. Simply leave a message on an adopter's talkpage to join. Again, welcome! --Pleb SYNDROME CUN medicate (butt poop!!!!) 06:52, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
