WikiProject report
Hi Shushugah,
15 years ago in the 30 May 2011 of the Signpost, there was a WikiProject report on WikiProject UK Railways. Wouldn't it be cool if we did it again 15 years later? This is especially the case as the Wikiproject celebrates its 20th anniversary this year on 6 April. I notice you've written the previous two Wikiproject reports so if you're interested in pursuing this I would be very grateful. Thank you, JacobTheRox(talk | contributions) 21:26, 14 March 2026 (UTC)

Question from Arislaysssssss (19:37, 1 April 2026)
how do I make an article on Wikipedia. not just talk page --Arislaysssssss (talk) 19:37, 1 April 2026 (UTC)
- @Arislaysssssss Welcome! Creating a new article from scratch is extremely challenging, and new editors are strongly recommended to spend a few months learning how Wikipedia works, by making improvements to some of our existing seven million articles before trying it. When you do decide to have a go at a new article, you are highly encouraged to read Help:Your first article. If you haven't already also check out the tutorial; it's a lot of fun! Happy editing! ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 11:34, 2 April 2026 (UTC)
