    Write articles. Just go to the Write an Article Page and get started. If you are lost for ideas, visit the Answer a Request page to write an article that someone else would like to read.
    • Improve your writing skills - try and replace colloquial or 'slang' language with a more formal writing style, but keep it interesting. Wherever possible, try and support your steps with evidence, but make sure you reference where you got the information from.
    • Spread the word of your new article. Place a link to it on your user page. Add the link to the "Related wikiHows" section of other articles of a similar topic, and place a link to those articles on yours in return.

    Patrol Recent changes. By patrolling recent changes you get to determine which editors were helpful and which were vandalism.
    • Praise those who are continuously providing articles with good edits, and form friendships with them.
    • Try and patrol daily, as your name will appear in the Recent Changes sidebar, and others will grow familiar with your username and most likely place a "thank you for patrolling" message on your talk page.

    Always reply to a talk page message. If someone has gone to the trouble of writing a kind message, it's only polite to return their message, saying that you are grateful of such a kind person recognizing your work.
    • Be friendly when posting on other user's talk pages, even if that person hasn't edited so well. Do not blow bad users off, instead offer them some advice on how to edit more productively. If, eventually, they fail to change their ways, inform an administrator.
    • Come up with a little signature that you always write at the end of a message. People will become familiar with you this way because whenever they see your signature on the bottom of a message, it's more likely that they'll remember it more than the user name of the sender.

Provide Details.
