Question from CavsFan45 (16:25, 28 May 2024)

Are Mugshots allowed under Wikipedia's image policy? --CavsFan45 (talk) 16:25, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

@CavsFan45: I'm not too familiar with this, but I found WP:MUG, which may be useful. I would assume if its freely licensed and complies with WP:MUG, it should be acceptable. Thanks. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 21:34, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Johnricart602 (13:06, 5 June 2024)

Good day I wanted to add my company to Wikipedia. How can I do that? --Johnricart602 (talk) 13:06, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

@Johnricart602: Hey, it is encouraged that you do NOT write an article about a company you are involved with. This is because you will likely introduce subconscious or conscious biases to the article due to your connection to it. If you decide to anyways, make sure it is created through the Articles for Creation process, the article is neutral, and that you properly declare your conflict of interest. Thoroughly read through the general notability guideline, as well as Wikipedia's core writing policies like WP:V, WP:NOT, and WP:NPOV. Let me know if you have any questions, thanks. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 21:32, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Lanelizard (03:34, 8 June 2024)

Hi! I have created a page but don't see how I can publish it in the primary encyclopedia. Do I need to make edits on articles (x10) in order for the article I created to be published? --Lanelizard (talk) 03:34, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

@Lanelizard: Hi there! Only autoconfirmed users can create pages. To be autoconfirmed, your account must be at least 4 days old and have made at least 10 edits. Non-autoconfirmed users can only create their pages through Wikipedia's review process, Articles for Creation. I see you've already done that, so you only need to wait for a reviewer to look over it. They are reviewed in no particular order, so it could be tomorrow or 3 months from now. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you! — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 15:54, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Ednorig (15:40, 17 June 2024)

Hello editor, I do not want to delete a text written my someone. What I would like to do is to be able to add a reply and provide my own citation. How do I go about this? Thanks --Ednorig (talk) 15:40, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

@Ednorig: Hey, I'm not sure what you mean. Are you talking about article editing or replying in talk pages? Hopefully you can clarify, thanks! — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 16:59, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, eventually I would like to submit an article and perhaps have a page. For now, I would like to add a statement to an article and add the citation and I don't know how! There is a lot of information on the Wikipedis that if overwhelming. So my question is: how to add a comment to a written article and add the source of my info. Nothing more, nothing else. Thank you Ednorig Ednorig (talk) 01:32, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

@Ednorig: Hi there! Please see Help:Referencing for beginners to learn how to add a citation to an article. I would recommend using the visual editor option as its more beginner friendly. You may also find Help:Editing useful. Thanks! — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 02:28, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
