This is a guide to some things you should know when creating an article in Wikipedia. We'll explain some of the DOs and DO NOTs of writing an article, then we'll tell you how to create an article. For creating any new article, here are some tips that may help you along:

1. Try editing existing articles to get a feel for writing and for using the mark-up language in use at Wikipedia. Also, try reading some of our better articles, either those listed as featured articles or good articles.
2. Consider creating the article on your user page first. If you have a user id, (which you must have if you are considering creating a new article), you also have your own area to start working on a new article; you can get it in shape there, take your time, and only move it into the "live" Wikipedia once it is ready for prime time.
3. Search This Site First to make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject, perhaps under a different title. If you find an existing article on your subject, it is best to redirect the name you were thinking of onto the existing article.
4. Gather references to show N|notability and as source(s) of your information. Articles that do not meet notability by citing reliable published sources are likely to be deleted.
5. Please do not create' pages about yourself or your friends, pages that advertise, personal essays or other articles you would not find in an encyclopedia.
6. Be careful about the following: copying things, controversial material, extremely short articles, and local-interest articles.
7. Gather references to reliable published sources.
8. Create a new page.
9. List references to your sources and show notability.

Search for an existing article

Timeshare Resale Information already has a lot of articles. Before creating an article, try to make sure there is not already an article, perhaps under a slightly different name; you can search for it here; check the Naming conventions. If an article on your topic is there, but you think people are likely to look for it under some different name or spelling, learn how to add a redirect with that name; adding needed redirects is a good way to help Wikipedia. Also, remember to check the article's deletion log in order to avoid creating an article that has already been deleted.

If a search does not find your article, consider broadening your search to find existing articles that might include the subject of your article. For example, if you want to write an article about a band member, you might search for the band and then add information about your subject to that broader article.
