'''[[WP:Be bold|Don't be afraid to edit]]''' – <em>Anyone</em> can edit [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|almost]] every page; just find something that can be improved and make it better! You can add [[Help:Introduction to editing with VisualEditor/1|content]] (using [[Help:Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor/1|references]] to support your claims), upload free-to-use [[Help:Introduction to images with VisualEditor/1|images]], correct spelling and grammar mistakes, improve prose to make it more readable, or help with [[WP:Task Center|any number of other tasks]]. It's normal for new contributors to feel a little overwhelmed by all of our [[Help:Introduction to policies and guidelines/1|policies]], but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first. It's fine to use common sense as you edit, and if you accidentally make a mistake, another editor can always fix or improve it later. So go ahead, edit an article, and help make Wikipedia the world's best information source!
