Before you start working on your article, make sure you are familiar with this link:

It'll give you the naming guidelines so that all Wiki articles are consistent.

You can always create your article in your sandbox, then copy and paste sections (or all of it) in the "official" article.

As per Wikipedia, these are acceptable date formats:

General use	Only where brevity is helpful (refs,[3] tables, infoboxes, etc.)	Comments
2 September 2001	2 Sep 2001
September 2, 2001	Sep 2, 2001	A comma follows the year unless followed by other punctuation:[4] The weather on March 12, 2005, was clear and warm Everyone remembers July 21, 1969 – when man first landed on the Moon
2 September	2 Sep	Omit year only where there is no risk of ambiguity: The 2012 London Olympics ran from 25 July to 12 September January 1 is New Year's Day

When to mark as a minor edit

• Spelling, grammatical, and punctuation corrections
• Simple formatting (e.g., capitalization, or properly adding italics to non-English words, like folie des grandeurs, or titles of certain works, like The Adventures of Tom Sawyer)
• Formatting that does not change the meaning of the page (e.g., moving a picture, splitting one paragraph into two—where this is not contentious)
• Obvious factual errors (e.g., changing "Nixon resigned in 1874" to "Nixon resigned in 1974")
• Fixing layout errors
• Adding or correcting wikilinks, or fixing broken external links and references already present in the article
• Removing obvious vandalism

When not to mark as a minor edit

• Adding or removing content in an article
• Adding or removing visible tags or other templates in an article
• Adding or removing references or external links in an article
• Adding comments to a talk page or other discussion
