Since Wikipedia is one of the most popular sites on Web, it attracts a lot of people who want to have an article for themselves, their businesses, their family, or their friends. Trying to write about these on Wikipedia is usually a bad idea. But, if you insist, you can. However, it is often difficult to follow the rules (which is why it's a bad idea in the first place). This guide will explain some of the most important rules when writing about these subjects. Read it carefully, and don't hesitate to ask for help if anything is unclear. (You can find some places to ask questions at the end of the guide.) Start >>
