Question from 172fdregt on User:172fdregt/sandbox (06:19, 31 May 2024)

Hi Would like some guidance regarding publishing new article.

Thank you --172fdregt (talk) 06:19, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi 172fdregt, thanks for the message. You can find some detailed guidance at Help:Your first article. One important thing: new articles should include references to reliable sources, to demonstrate that the subject of the article is notable. Your draft at User:172fdregt/sandbox currently doesn't cite any sources, so I would suggest adding some sources before you move the article to the mainspace or submit it to Articles for Creation. There's a guide to citing sources here: Help:Referencing for beginners. Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions! —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 02:30, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from ArsalanAhmed12 on Aziz Ahmed Jatoi (18:02, 4 June 2024)

Hello how can i include the picture of an individual in this article? --ArsalanAhmed12 (talk) 18:02, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi ArsalanAhmed12, thanks for the message. If you have a freely licensed photo of him (for example, a photo you took yourself and are willing to give permission for others to use), you can upload it to Wikimedia Commons. Alternatively, since the subject is no longer alive, you can also upload a non-free photo (for example, a photo you found online) by going to Wikipedia:Upload and choosing "Upload a non-free file". Once you've uploaded the photo, you can add it to the article by opening the visual editor, clicking the "+" button, and choosing "Images and media". I know this can be confusing at first, so please let me know if you have any follow-up questions. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 13:12, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from AutoFur (13:02, 6 June 2024)

Hello, I want to make an article about a virtual trucking company based on the furry fandom, is it possible? And If so. How can I do it? --AutoFur (talk) 13:02, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi AutoFur, thanks for the message. If the company is discussed significantly by independent reliable sources, so that it meets Wikipedia's notability guideline, then an article can be created about it, yes. The notability guideline for companies is here: Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies).

You can find instructions on how to create a new article at Help:Your first article. Make sure to include references to reliable sources to demonstrate that the company is notable. Please let me know if you have any follow-up questions. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 14:05, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Blakegrant1 (02:09, 14 June 2024)

One of the subject’s I made on Wikipedia name Rarri Dream has AfD discussion but it has multiple reliable sources I was wondering if you could comment in on it for me? --Blakegrant1 (talk) 02:09, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi Blakegrant1, thanks for the message. I will take a look at the article and consider commenting in the discussion. If you're trying to get more eyes to the discussion, you can also consider posting at a relevant WikiProject like WT:WikiProject Hip hop or WT:WikiProject Georgia (U.S. state). You can use Template:Afd notice to do this (let me know if you need instructions for how to use the template). —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 13:26, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Yes I need instructions for how to use the template let me know Blakegrant1 (talk) 14:11, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

@Blakegrant1: Just go to one of those WikiProject talk pages, click "Add topic" near the top, add the text {{subst:Afd notice|Rarri Dream}}, and click the "Add topic" button. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 14:23, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Okay thank you but it seems like someone already put it on my talk page Blakegrant1 (talk) 17:45, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Devansh.Supramind (04:50, 17 June 2024)

Hello,

I am Devansh and have been writing quite a few articles online for the last 3 years. I recently learned about editing articles on Wikipedia and was quite intrigued by it. I am new to this thing and excited to contribute further by adding more value to this massive knowledge bank that everyone like you has built.

It would be great if you could share some tips and advice on do's and don'ts and how else can I support this.

Thanks in advance and pleasure to meet you virtually. --Devansh.Supramind (talk) 04:50, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi Devansh.Supramind, thanks for the message, and I'm glad you're interested in contributing to Wikipedia. My most general tip is that in many ways Wikipedia has its own culture, so don't be surprised if it takes time to get used to how conversations and interactions tend to go here. In terms of editing articles, one good approach is to find a topic that's not covered adequately, look for reliable sources about the topic, and expand the article about it by summarizing what the sources say. If you look around you'll find lots of articles that need work. Please let me know if you have any other questions! —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 05:01, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
