How to Get a Wikipedia Account

Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia. It is self-edited by the people who use it; the idea being that with everyone editing each other information will be corrected. Anyone can create an entry or edit an entry.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Go to the Wikipedia website. Choose a language (English, perhaps?).

2. In the upper right corner click "Sign in/create an account."

3. It will ask you to log in, but you don't have a log in. Click "Create account."

4. Come up with a username and password, then enter them. Also enter the series of letters you see in the space provided. This is to ensure that you are not a robot. Enter an email as well, so they can email you your password should you forget it.

5. Don't pick a username that is offensive, a celebrity, a company, a robot or contains a domain name.

6. You do not have to have an account to edit pages or read them. The benefits of an account include:
   -ability to start new pages
   -ability to edit semi-protected pages
   -ability to upload images
   -ability to rename pages
   There are other pros too.
