I have edited an article (a minor edit) but I can't do one from scratch, it needs somebody better informed than a distant user, and whose mind isn't turning to jelly (I will be 70 next year; does that make me a candidate for the oldest user?) The page itself needs a certain structure, with a summary to introduce the main article, although sometimes, that isn't obvious. I looked up Hoover of England once. The editors didn't like that page because it was too much like advertising. Wikipedia always say that they don't want first-hand information or an author's personal preferences. They want sources themselves to be encyclopedia-like. If you have a break-through idea, you can't put it up until it is in research journals. That can be difficult for something brand new. Doug.
