The best and most comprehensive source of information and guidance about writing your own article on Wikipedia is Wikipedia's own help page "Starting An Article".

A link to that page is provided below, in Related links.

The main essentials are:

  1. Good preliminary subject research so that you have all the necessary information to hand when compiling your page.
  2. Familiarity with Wikipedia's content and style guidelines.
  3. Practical knowledge of how the Wikipedia software handles and formats data, and how to input your data accordingly.

You can create your own page or use/customise one of the many working templates that are available on site.

Wikipedia also provides ample opportunity for you to 'prototype' your page(s) by using their 'sandbox' facilities.

For more information you should carefully study the Wikipedia guidelines, and start practicing!
