Question from Nyemwang W Konyak (12:22, 5 October 2024)

Hello mentor, 

kindly guide me on how ‘I can create my own Wikipedia ‘ page and keep editing of other contents as well.

What are the Benefits of editing others contents or self? --Nyemwang W Konyak (talk) 12:22, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Nyemwang W Konyak, the first step to creating a Wikipedia page is figuring out what you want to write your article about. It needs to be on a topic that is notable, meaning it has received substantial coverage in reliable sources (such as newspaper profiles or books). Once you have done that, the process is actually fairly easy. You can use the articles for creation process to draft your article, and get a user to review it! Happy to answer any other questions that may come up. Best, Eddie891 Talk Work 15:25, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I want to write about myself . How can k proceed? Nyemwang (talk) 16:56, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it isn't really recommended to write an autobiographical article, so I'd definitely advise against it. If you intend to edit topics you are connected to, I'd first make sure you have a read-through of the guide to managing a conflict of interest, and be completely transparent about what you're doing.

October thanks

story · music · places

Thank you for improving articles on October! - My story today is a cantata 300 years old, based on a hymn 200 years old when the cantata was composed, based on a psalm some thousand years old, - so said the 2015 DYK hook. I had forgotten the discussion on the talk. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:21, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from CC-Berenice (15:14, 21 October 2024)

Good evening, it is my first time here in the English Wikipedia (I normally use the Italian Wikipedia). I was reading different pages to understand how to it works here and I have some questions.

- I want to create a new page. This page has an Italian version (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vittorio_Emanuele_Falsitta) and I want to create the English page. I will be paid to create the English version, so I read the page about COI and, if I understood correctly, I have to note the COI using a template, making a statement in the edit summary or on my user page. Since I can choose, I am going to do on my user page: is there a particular formula or sentence that I have to use or I just have to write who pays me and who commissions the work? Also, did I understood correctly or I have to disclose the COI in other pages too? Is it better I write about the COI when I save my changes too?

- Since the page I want to create is new, do I have to send you something to be approved or I create the page and then wait for a control before/after publishing? Thank you so much for your help! Berenice --CC-Berenice (talk) 15:14, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @CC-Berenice, since you are paid you should go through the articles for creation process. You should disclose your COI on every page you edit that you have a COI with. I'll leave a message with some links on your talk page that may be helpful. Eddie891 Talk Work 15:03, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from LukePerry124 (20:50, 24 October 2024)

How do you make a page about something? I am only 7 years old and on this website, and why do they make captcha "what does this text say" just nonsense words ;-; --LukePerry124 (talk) 20:50, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @LukePerry124, If you want to make a page you should first make sure it meets our notability requirements, which means that it has been the subject of substantial coverage in reliable sources, like newspapers or books. If it has, I'd recommend using the articles for creation process, which is pretty helpful, in my experience. Eddie891 Talk Work 22:46, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
