Regarding your Teahouse post about feeling lost

Hello Chrissy, if your Teahouse post was referring to Susanna Flavius she seems to be a good and interesting person, but I doubt that she is notable enough for a Wikipedia article.

I am a writer who had a book published (sold a few hundred copies), and I have friends that have had numerous books published but, though they're very notable to me, because they weren't published by a well-known company, and didn't sell a huge number of copies (say, 100,000) they aren't considered notable enough to be written about in an encyclopedia. (If you're too young to know the days when a bookshelf row of printed encyclopedia volumes were found in homes and libraries, you may want to think of Wikipedia as being the online equivalent of non-fiction reference books found in a public library.)

My knowledge of Twitter and Instagram is limited to hearing their name mentioned, so I don't know if 40,000 followers are considered an important amount. But my guess would be that a social media personality wouldn't be considered important outside of social media unless at least one major newspaper or magazine wrote about the person. I live in the United States so if you live in another country I can't say what newspapers or magazines are considered important there, but it would be ones that a lot of people who don't read newspapers know about.

I am sorry that you're feeling lost about your Wikipedia difficulties. I see that others have given you tutorials to click on and read, and those will help you learn the basics – such as how to format your reference sources properly. Here is an example which will be shown below: (I published several articles about 19th century children's magazines, so I have a list of references I've used multiple times.)

It may be that Susanna Flavius may become more notable later on. (see WP: Too Soon) If that is the case you can start collecting good references for her, and have them ready for another try later on. I sometimes research a subject for years before I feel it is the right time to try and write a Wikipedia article. (I started researching my latest article David Cory (author) back in 2017, and only recently felt I had enough data to attempt to begin writing.) Creating a good article is a lot of work. I've published numerous ones, and I still have problems with each one. When I finish writing and click on "Show preview" I always find formatting problems – especially for my references, and I have to spend a couple of hours reading and rereading in order to find all my mistakes. Usually I want to give up and scrap the whole project, but I have to remind myself that after 14 years as a Wikipedia editor I'm still no expert – but I'm learning more all the time. The work can be stressful, so I space out my projects so as not to become overwhelmed. I keep working on projects because I want others to be able to find accurate information on subjects that are important to me.

Best wishes on your future projects. Take your time, and start making small edits on published articles to help you slowly learn how Wikipedia works. Karenthewriter (talk) 03:54, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
