Check with your local public or academic library to find out to which databases it subscribes, and whether they have a mechanism in place for remote access. Some high-end databases (like InfoTrac and <a href="/wiki/ProQuest" title="ProQuest">ProQuest</a>) even carry scanned versions of articles as they were originally printed. </p><p>Wikipedians are also eligible to apply for access to paywalled research databases via the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library" title="Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library">Wikipedia Library</a>.

If the subject is of historical interest, you may have to visit a library to obtain articles that were published before 1980, since few online databases contain such old articles. </p><p>To find books or periodicals stored as bound volumes, the best place to start is with the catalog of your local public library. If you have searched the catalogs of several local libraries without success, try searching library "union" catalogs. With one search in a union catalog, it is possible to determine which books are available on a subject in an entire county, state, province, or country. The largest union catalog is OCLC <a href="/wiki/WorldCat" title="WorldCat">WorldCat</a>, which claims to have worldwide coverage, though most of its member libraries are in <a href="/wiki/North_America" title="North America">North America</a>. </p><p>Only by citing the best sources in a field can a Wikipedia article be taken seriously by its critics.

The reader should be able to get a good overview by only reading the lead, which should be between one and four paragraphs long, depending on the length of the article. See <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style_(lead_section)" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style (lead section)">Wikipedia:Manual of Style (lead section)</a>. </p><p>Remember that, although you will be familiar with the subject you are writing about, readers of Wikipedia may not be, so it is important to establish the context of your article's subject early on. For instance, if you are writing an article about a sports event you should mention the sport and, if relevant, any national details: rather than </p><p><i>The <b>Red Cup</b> was a domestic league competition that ran between 1994 and 1996</i> </p><p>it would be more helpful to write </p><p><i>The <b>Red Cup</b> was a domestic rugby league competition in New Caledonia that ran between 1994 and 1996</i> </p><p>Again, rather than </p><p><i><b>Bobby the Salmon</b> is a goalkeeper who joined the club in 2006</i> </p><p>say </p><p><i><b>Bobby the Salmon</b> is a <a href="/wiki/Football_(soccer)" class="mw-redirect" title="Football (soccer)">football</a> goalkeeper who joined Fulchester United in 2006</i> </p><p>See our <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_edit_a_page" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:How to edit a page">editing help</a> for the format we use to produce links, emphasize text, lists, headlines etc. Make sure to link to other relevant Wikipedia articles. In addition, where appropriate, add links in other articles back to your article. </p><p>Do not simply <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Copy-paste" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Copy-paste">copy-and-paste</a> from one of the external resources mentioned above. See <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights" title="Wikipedia:Copyrights">Copyrights</a> for the details. </p><p>It is often a good idea to separate the major sections of your articles with section headlines. For many topics, a history section is very appropriate, outlining how thinking about the concept evolved over time. </p><p>If different people have different opinions about your topic, characterize that debate from the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view" title="Wikipedia:Neutral point of view">Neutral point of view</a>. </p><p>Try to get your spelling right. Wikipedia does not yet contain a spell checker, but you can write and spell-check your article first in a word processor or text editor (which is a lot more comfortable than the Wikipedia text-box anyway) and then paste it into said text-box. Another option is an extension (such as ieSpell for Internet Explorer or SpellBound for Mozilla and old versions of Firefox – Firefox 2 and up feature built-in spell checking) that can be installed on your web browser and used as a spell checker in text boxes. </p><p>Keep the article in an encyclopedic style: add <a href="/wiki/Etymology" title="Etymology">etymology</a> or <a href="/wiki/Provenance" title="Provenance">provenance</a> (when available), look for analogies and eventual comparisons to propose. Be objective: avoid personal comments (or turn them into general statements, but only when they coincide), do not use personal forms (<i>I found that...</i>). The <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style">Wikipedia Manual of Style</a> can help you with your English. You can post questions about English grammar and usage at the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Language" title="Wikipedia:Reference desk/Language">Wikipedia language and grammar desk</a>. </p><p>Try to avoid using <a href="/wiki/Euphemisms" class="mw-redirect" title="Euphemisms">euphemisms</a>, such as "passed away" for "died", or "made love" for "had sexual intercourse". </p><p>At the end, you should list the references you used and the best available external links about the topic. These references are what will allow Wikipedia to be the most trusted, reliable resource it can be. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Finishing_touches" data-mw-thread-id="h-Finishing_touches-How_to_develop_an_article"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Finishing_touches-How_to_develop_an_article"></span>Finishing touches<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Finishing_touches-How_to_develop_an_article"></span></h3></div> <p>Finish the article with a good relevant image or graphic.

The sizing of images and other issues concerning images in articles are set out in <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Images" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style">the Manual of Style</a>. </p><p>One way to get a good article is to bounce it back and forth between several <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedians" title="Wikipedia:Wikipedians">Wikipedians</a>. Use the <i>Talk pages</i> to refine the topic, ask for their confirmations, note their doubts: it is usually interesting to discover that, perhaps from the other side of the planet, after a while, some other contributors can check other sources, or propose different interpretations. The composition of a commonly agreed interpretation is the most important ingredient of a serious Wikipedia article. </p><p>It may also be useful to look up your subject in one of the foreign-language Wikipedias, such as the German or French editions. While the English-language Wikipedia is the biggest one in terms of the total number of articles it contains, you may find that other Wikipedias sometimes contain more in-depth articles, especially if the subject is of local importance. Even if your foreign language skills are not particularly developed, you may still glean important information from those articles, like birth dates, statistics, bibliographies, or the names of persons that are linked on the page. If you have incorporated the additional information, please also make the appropriate <a href="/wiki/Help:Interwiki_links" class="mw-redirect" title="Help:Interwiki links">Interwiki links</a> at the end of your article. </p><p>Do not neglect the <i>External links</i> and <i>References</i> sections. The most useful and accurate material that you have found with your Internet research might make good links for a reader, too. In addition, sometimes a standard work is mentioned repeatedly in connection with your topic. Mention it, with its author and publication date. Even better, obtain a copy and use it to check the material in the article. </p><p>In addition, remember to create links to your article from related articles and subjects. This includes any <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirect" title="Wikipedia:Redirect">redirects</a> your article may need, for instance, redirects for other capitalizations of your article title, abbreviations, plural versions, alternative spellings or common misspellings. This helps people find your article and may even help you find a related, already-written article.
