You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Honor point count requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader.

Wikipedia maintenance tags for work in progress

Hi, Welcome to Wikipedia. Your contribution to The Official Encyclopedia of Bridge, 7th ed. (2011), will be welcome if you have access to a print or CD-ROM copy, as it seems to me.

WPCB Templates

At Wikipedia: WikiProject Contract bridge we have several templates that make some editing tasks much easier. For example, one new one is bibliographic: {{OEB}} gives a full citation of the Official Encyclopedia, specific edition 1 to 6 or International, and edition 7 will be covered when available. Another, {{gcb}} links to a specific entry in the Glossary of contract bridge terms. Older templates ease the display of a bridge suit, hand, or deal.

Here is a complete list: Category:Template-Class Contract bridge articles

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
