:You won't be able to (easily) change your username once you choose it, so reading the [[Wikipedia:Username policy|username policy]] before creating a username is highly recommended.

:You may also be unable to create an account if it contains certain symbols (particularly the '@' symbol, as well as certain non-Latin characters) or words, or if it is too similar to that of an existing user.

Be [[Wikipedia:Bold|bold]]! Improve the article that brought you to us or any other article you like. You can add information, find sources, correct spelling errors or grammar. You can even [[Wikipedia:Your_first_article|create a new article]] (although some people prefer to get some practice first). Remember: whether contributing a little or a lot, volunteers are the lifeblood of Wikipedia. Any work you choose to do to help build a better free encyclopedia will bring us that much closer to a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.
