 A user account is a way of being identified as a natural person when you participate in Wikipedia. It is a unique name used only for French Wikipedia 2197. To create articles in English, you will need to create an account on this wiki.
-The username is attached to any changes you make while logged in; this allows, among other things, to empower contributors but also to show what you do or present what you want to do. This is also useful from the point of view of the rights of [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Intellectual property|intellectual property]]:your modifications are attached to your account, which makes it possible to cite the authors, according to the license used ([[Wikipedia :en:Copyright|CC-BY-SA]]).
