Here you can digest how to use Wikipedia in bite-sized morsels. The tips listed below were created for the Tip of the day project, or the Styletips project, but are listed here by title and organized by subject area for your convenience.
The Wikipedia community decides whether articles meet certain criteria to be selected as Featured articles, representing the best that Wikipedia has to offer. A different featured article is chosen to appear on the Main Page every day. Any user can nominate an article as a Featured article candidate, or comment on any of the existing candidate articles.
The Community bulletin board (aka WP:CBB) is a terrific way to let your newly created Portal, WikiProject, etc., be known to the community, including at the Community Portal. It's also a great way to recruit fellow editors. If you post a notice there, please follow these guidelines:
Use present tense.
Bold the main link.
Keep it short and sweet, news style.
Use pulldates (one week) by inserting them into a hidden comment like this: <!-- Pulldate: July 3 -->
Or just follow the instructions on the page, which will be visible when you edit it.
You can also submit WikiProject and similar news to the relevant section of the Wikipedia Signpost.
