Question from Themostgaygaylesbiangay (21:26, 4 November 2022)

Hi! How do I create a new like page :D --Themostgaygaylesbiangay (talk) 21:26, 4 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Themostgaygaylesbiangay. Creating an article is usually a difficult task for new editors, so you might first want to get some experience by editing existing articles. To create one though, read WP:YFA. I would recommend the Article Wizard and AFC process. Note that any article on Wikipedia shoould meet the notability guidelines, be verifiable with reliable sources, and be written from a neutral point of view.

Question from LauraNCH (04:56, 9 November 2022)

hello! how can I make my own page? --LauraNCH (talk) 04:56, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia LauraNCH. Wikipedia is a collection of articles which are notable, reliably sourced, and written from a neutral point of view. It is strongly discouraged to create articles about oneself, as mentioned by other editors on your talk page. Please follow the instructions mentioned at WP:COI and your talk page, and use the AFC process to create articles if you decide to do so. See the Article Wizard as well. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thank you. Kpddg ^(talk) 12:38, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Question from VIKTOR321S (11:10, 14 November 2022)

Hi! I am Valentin Sarić, composer and writer.

I have signed up for Wikipedia because I hoped that I could make my own article about myself. Well, I hoped I could do that in a way I did everywhere else (Spotify, Twitter, YouTube) in several short sentences, just to share my basic information with the world. After reading about your requirements, I wonder how can it be truly done. Because, it might seem I cannot be neutral, as it says in your requirements, and it also can seem that I, as a composer, even after creating several (symphonies, piano concertos, symphonic ballet fantasias and stabat mater) music works, that I am still not notable.

I think that should not be surprising, as I have not yet started to promote my work in any paid way. However, I am planning to soon.

So, I have these questions: What do you think, is it better for someone else to write about me (short biography), and if so, when? When I become "notable"? How will anyone recognise that I am "notable" enough to do that? And by the way, some modern young composers already have their wikipedia biography articles, no matter how much people might consider them notable or not. Please provide me some arguments here so I can understand who can write a biography and when, and/or does it have to be paid and how much, and why?

Anyway, if requirements for writing a biography that will not be considered relevant or notable are too numerous or too pricey, how is it likely that biography can be written and under which circumstances?

Further, can it be concluded that there is a real possibility that people might deem someone not notable and relevant if he or she does not have a wiki article written about them? From a psychological point? I am interested in that.

Again, I thought a short biography would be enough, just few short sentences. I consider that pretty neutral, without any further details.

So, thanks for replying in advance! I look forward to reading your response.

Best regards, Valentin Sarić --VIKTOR321S (talk) 11:10, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello VIKTOR321S, and welcome to Wikipedia! It is good to know that you have read some policies and guidelines. So any article will have to meet the notability guidelines, more specifically WP:COMPOSER in your case. Apart from being neutral as you mentioned, the article has to be verifiable with reliable sources.

To answer your first question, yes, it is better for someone else to create your article, as autobiographies are discouraged. Note that an article about yourself may not be a good thing. You can read the page on notability (linked above) for a proper understanding. When your work is covered by reliable, independent and secondary sources, an editor may attempt to create an article.

Note that Wikipedia editors do not engage in paid editing. It is strongly discouraged.

You can create your own article yourself, though it is a difficult task. Please read WP:YFA. Then, use the Article Wizard, which leads to the AFC process. Before creating the article, be sure to declare your conflict of interest.

Please ask if you have any questions. I have left a welcome message on your talk page as well. Thanks, Kpddg ^(talk) 13:27, 14 November 2022 (UTC)

Question from Jippoes (23:05, 20 November 2022)

Hello Mentor, I am a financial contributor to Wikipedia. I have noticed some glaring inaccuracies on the article regarding Graham Hancock in light of recent and ongoing discoveries. Can you please advise when these will be resolved? --Jippoes (talk) 23:05, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello Jippoes and welcome. Note that Wikipedia editors have no involvement in donation, it is manage by the Wikipedia Foundation. I saw that other editors have discussed the issues with you on the relevant talk page. As mentioned, edits should be verifiable with reliable sources. So your proposed edits will be considered only if you provide them. Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks, Kpddg ^(talk) 12:31, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Question from DrNickOMBE (23:07, 22 November 2022)

Hello! I'd like to create a page about my uncle, the actor and writer Christopher Owen. Do I need to set up an account in his name, or can I use my own user name to do this? Thanks! --DrNickOMBE (talk) 23:07, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello DrNickOMBE and welcome. Before creating an article, please take some time to read through Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Also, declare that you have a conflict of interest, as per the message I have left on your talk page. Wikipedia is a collection of articles. Note that for any article to be created, it needs to be notable, specifically WP:ACTOR in your case. The article should be verifiable with reliable sources, written from a neutral point of view, and meet the biographies of living persons policy. Read WP:YFA and use the Article Wizard. You can use your current account itself. Do ask if you have any queries. Thank you. Kpddg ^(talk) 12:37, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
