Füge Zitate hinzu
Da alle Wikipedia bearbeiten können, hat die Wikipedia-Gemeinschaft eine zentrale Strategie entwickelt, um die Qualität der Informationen in den Artikeln zu gewährleisten: Fußnoten zu zuverlässigen Quellen, damit die Wikipedia-Leser:innen die Informationen "überprüfen" können. Bestehende Wünsche zu Quellennachweisen in deiner bevorzugten Sprache zu bearbeiten ist der einfachste Weg sich mit Wikipedia zu beschäftigen. Artikel, in denen Zitate fehlen, findest du in Englisch oder 57 anderen Sprachen.
Lesende und Redakteurinnen, die sich bei einer Information in einem Artikel unsicher sind, können die entsprechende Aussage mit einem "citation needed"-Tag versehen. Solche Markierungen sind eine Form der öffentlichen Bitte um Hilfe: Mitglieder der Öffentlichkeit bitten um verlässliche Recherchen zur Fundierung der Informationen, die sie lesen.

Expand existing Wikipedia articles
As a new editor its important to learn how Wikipedia articles work, before trying to create a new one. The best way to learn, is to expand existing articles.
Expand the introduction to articles
The easiest thing to do is either expand the introduction of a Wikipedia article or to expand an existing section of a Wikipedia article. The introduction to Wikipedia articles is the main thing that readers read, and often doesn't reflect all of the recent changes. Still, it should be captivating enough for the reader to develop the desire to delve into the whole article, and not just stop at the first few lines.
Here is how to do that:
- Explore the articles found in this search on English Wikipedia or read about a woman that you know about or from in your Country or Context.
- Read the article, paying attention to what is mentioned in each section.
- Return to the introduction section.
- Click the edit button in the top right
- Rewrite the introduction, making sure to summarize parts of the article that are missing in the introduction or remove content that doesn't help summarize the article
- After updating the introduction section, click "Änderungen veröffentlichen"
Add content to sections of existing articles
Some readers have identified gaps in existing articles, that could be expanded or improved. Most new editors start by filling these gaps. Here are instructions for expanding an article:
- Explore the articles found in this search of English Wikipedia or by reading about women in your Country or Context.
- Identify a section that you think could be expanded -- sections you might want to expand include short sections, sections with few references, or sections with banners suggestion changes
- Search for reliable published sources, such as newspapers or academic articles about that topic
- Summarize those sources as sentences with citations (see the instructions above for citations).
- After you have added a few sentences, save. Most Wikipedia editors only add a few sentences at a time.
- If you want to add more, click the edit button again and keep working!
