Inspiring someone is all about showing them how they can overcome a challenge or an obstacle in their life. Try to pick someone who's overcome something to go on to great things, and write your article about that!

Question

What are some examples of topics for a how to article?

Community Answer

A how to article can be about anything you can tell someone how to do. You could write about how to make play-dough, how to link your Samsung and Apple devices, how to write a novel, or basically anything else.

Question

What if I think that wikiHow or Wikipedia aren't trustworthy, as people can enter them and post false information?

Top Answerer

False information can be posted anywhere, not just on wikiHow or Wikipedia. As such, it is your responsibility to fact check what you read and not accept things blindly (this goes for life in general as well). Do the research to see if what's being said matches other trustworthy sources.
