You don't need to read anything - anybody can edit; just go to an article and edit it. Be Bold, but please don't put silly stuff in - it will be removed very quickly, and will annoy people.

Ask for help. Talk to us live, or edit this page, put {{helpme}} and describe what help you need. Someone will reply very quickly - usually within a few minutes.

Play in your user area. For example, create User:DarkJak495/test.

Edit existing articles, before you make your own. Look at some subjects that you know about, and see if you can make them a bit better. For example, Wikipedia:Cleanup#2009.

When you're ready, read about Your first article. It should be about something well-known, and it will need references.

Good luck with editing; please drop me a line some time on my own talk page.

There's lots of information below. Once again, welcome to the fantastic world of Wikipedia!

Ruins of Gorlan

Hey, I've added a few section in on the article and thought you may want to may your crack at the sections. What I suggest is to use [1] to expand the Critical reception section with reviews. Note that I've already used up the School Library Journal one so don't use that. When summarizing a review, don't always pick out the good things, its important to make the article unbiased. Of course if there are no bad comments there's no need to try and find a review criticizing the novel. :). When you finish up with the reviews, I'll cite them with more reliable sources. As for the Concept and development section, I think I've used up most sources, but feel to try and find some information that I didn't add in. As I mentioned earlier, the best place for this type of information is through interviews. Good luck and happy editing! :). Derild 49 21 ☼ 23:37, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
