Question from Mark Henry Annett (03:55, 28 June 2025)

[edit]

How does one go about writing and uploading an article? I have been wanting to publish an Wikipedia article about my grandfather, the Canadian author R. Ross Annett, for some time. I have drafted such an article and I’d like some information about how one can make that happen. Thanks. --Mark Henry Annett (talk) 03:55, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Mark Henry Annett! Sorry for the late response. First, thanks for reaching out and your interest in writing an article for Wikipedia! There's some things to keep in mind when drafting an article, especially for subjects that you're related to.
  • Wikipedia has a conflict of interest guideline which editors are expected to follow. It doesn't ban conflict of interest editing; we recognize that there are editors who are able to manage their conflicts of interest in editing. What it does is set rules and standards that should be followed when editing. You can read more about that guideline at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.
  • When finished with writing drafts, you're expected to submit the draft through our Articles for Creation (AfC) process. This process allows the draft to go through review from another editor. We'll be able to check for whether the draft matches our standards through this process.
  • Wikipedia only accepts articles on subjects which are notable. We have notability guidelines for authors, which may be relevant for the draft you plan to write. In general, we look for significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. The best way to ensure that a subject is notable is to write an article "forwards"—that is, to look for at least three sources first, write the draft solely on those sources, and then build the rest of the article afterwards.
Help:Your first article has a lot of advice on getting your first draft written. You may also want to read Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide for a more detailed guide on handling a conflict of interest. If you ever get stuck somewhere, feel free to reply here or to ask for help on the Teahouse, our question forum. Best of luck with writing your article!

Question from Veyrash3 (18:48, 6 July 2025)

[edit]

I didnt realize there was so much to navigate on here i thought i followed the correct format then i saw a popup for delation. --Veyrash3 (talk) 18:48, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Veyrash3! Looking at your talk page, it seems like the page you created was deleted because it was unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view. Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion. An advertisement which pretends to be an article is fundamentally incompatible with Wikipedia, and will be deleted quickly.

Deputy query

[edit]

Hi Chlod, quick question for you. I've been repairing some translation related attributions, and adding the translated page template using deputy. However, it's recently started adding an error message to the talk page? [1][2]. Um.... have I broken something? GreenLipstickLesbian💌🦋 04:47, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like changes on Wikimedia's side which has ended up breaking something. It seems to have been fixed; but I'll add in a check to make sure errors like these get caught instead of saved. Chlod (top • contribs) 08:52, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from PrincipalSunrise (18:38, 18 July 2025)

[edit]

hi, i want to write about some travel guide placed in Pakistan. Can you help me about this --PrincipalSunrise (talk) 18:38, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @PrincipalSunrise! Wikipedia is not the place to write about travel guides. Perhaps you'd like to check out one of our sister projects, Wikivoyage, instead? Chlod (top • contribs) 18:59, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ok thank you Chlod for Quick Guide about wiki. thanks once again PrincipalSunrise (talk) 11:19, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Iamseunkazeem (07:45, 28 July 2025)

[edit]

Hello is it possible to write about a company that is legally backed in Nigeria --Iamseunkazeem (talk) 07:45, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Iamseunkazeem! Companies must be notable to have a Wikipedia article. A company is presumed notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Chlod (top • contribs) 07:59, 28 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
