Question from We're Going To The Forest (18:15, 17 November 2024)

[edit]

Hi! How do you create a Wikipedia page? :) --We're Going To The Forest (talk) 18:15, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @We're Going To The Forest! I would suggest using the Articles for creation process, where you can create a draft and work on it for a bit before publishing the actual article. Eddie891 Talk Work 19:40, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I uploaded pics of a trip that was a 10-day celebration of a 16 November event, but the day was also when a dear friend died. We sang Hevenu shalom aleichem at his funeral yesterday, and it was good. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:29, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from James Feely6 (14:26, 21 November 2024)

[edit]

Hello Eddie,

How are you ?:)

I was wondering if you could advise me on something please. I am looking to create my own Wikipedia page but at what stage will wikipedia recognise my account as a page that can publish my own written material? and what do I need to do to get there? Ideally I can get it done in the next month.

Thanks, James --James Feely6 (talk) 14:26, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @James Feely6, I've the same response as below:
Do you meet our notability criteria for people? Not just anyone can have an article, they have to have gotten covered by independent and reliable sources (such as newspapers, books, or journals). It's also generally not recommended to write your own article see here for more on why. Eddie891 Talk Work 16:39, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Eddie,
I am not writing an article about myself, sorry for the confusion. Instead, I will be writing an article about a company which does have published media material and articles written about them. Typically what is the process like for this situation? I have been practising editing on other articles to become auto-confirmed. How long will it take for my article to become accepted once I publish it, currently I am making a draft in my sandbox.
I appreciate any insight you've got James Feely6 (talk) 17:03, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from SukuDan (15:59, 23 November 2024)

[edit]

Hi, I have created a new page called Data Product, it is a word gaining currency in modern data management and requires a defenition,

I have used social to crowd review the defenition and have also done an edit to refine it and would now like to know what the next step is.

Please advice.

Thanks and regards,

Sukujar --SukuDan (talk) 15:59, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @SukuDan, probably the first thing you should do is make sure the term meets our notability guidelines. Has it gotten covered in the news? What about academic journals or books? Any other reliable sources could count, too. Eddie891 Talk Work 16:37, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
