Welcome!
editHello, Mci2014, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Ian and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Recommendations about writing Wikipedia article
editThe important fact to consider while writing Wikipedia article is to make sure that it is thorough and legit. There are lots of articles that will put information there is incorrect or is missing lots of data. When writing Wikipedia article you need to remember that people are reading it and referencing it into their work, and when you provide false information, anybody that reads it or references it are being misled. When writing article about Civil engineering topics it is good to have Civil Engineer proof read it and make sure that all the technical stuff that you include in your article are correct. You also need to make sure that when writing something, try to elaborate it and include as much data and information about it as you can find. Avoid to write biased articles. Just because you feel certain way or you have certain opinions about the subject matter it does not justify to have the article be expressive of your feelings or opinions. You need to sate the facts and stay away from the opinions. It is good for civil engineers to write lots of engineering articles because first and foremost, we have been trained to be professionals and unbiased. Second, we are people that have been paying attention to smallest detail of everything, therefore we would be able to write everything in details and avoid content gap. But I do not think that it is Civil Engineers job to write articles about the topics such as: the brain surgery, stock market, etc. I think it will be best if every profession will stick to their discipline and write about it only. I do not recommend Civil Engineer writing about Neurotransmitters and then medical student reading about it and thinking it is correct. Just like I would not trust structural design to be explained by medical doctor. So I recommend that when writing the article make sure it is as thorough, unbiased and sophisticated as it can get, and make sure that you are writing about the subject that you know very well.
