Ideally, edit articles that you actually understand and can contribute something towards. Have your sources ready and be prepared for people to edit your edits. Start discussions on talk pages for articles. Understand the rules (or at least know where they exist) >>56928905.

It begins by reading Wikipedia for fun. And then fixing small grammatical or style errors you see as you read.

Then there are hundreds of skills you can learn after that. Pure article writing, various maintenance tasks, template writing, cross-project stuff, lots of tools and utilities to learn, tools and utilities to develop, and the relevant policy for all of these.

And once you've done a little of everything you can see the big picture and actually have proper discussions, suggestions, and proposals for the projects.

Editing isn't enough to be considered an outstanding member. You would have to post on talk pages, discuss stuff with other users, and actually be really involved in the community. That second half is what separates administrators out from the pack.

You dot become outstanding by doing lots of good work. That was the old Wikipedia. With neo-Wikipedia, you need to find a wiki-gang that is intimidating and powerful enough to protect you.
