I recently saw a contestant on a quiz show talking about the 1970s, which was, according to her, "before they had electricity". So, in her world view, 1780 is truly ancient. --

Hi Sadie! The great thing about Wikipedia is that it's an encyclopedia that anyone can create and edit - including you. Have a look through
Women's sports and the associated pages and talk pages to get an idea of scope and format and so on. The, be
WP:BOLD and try writing an article yourself. I highly suggest you do so within your own personal sandbox,
here (basically it's a safe area for you to play around in while you figure out how things work). Also, give a look
WP:YOURFIRSTARTICLE for some great tips. After you're done some reading and thinking, you may decide to just expand an existing article instead - and that's great too!
