Hello Rebecca. To familiarize yourself with English Wikipedia, please read the WELCOME INFORMATION above - it should give you lots of valuable information. Regarding uploading images - English Wikipedia accepts freely licensed media, i.e. you can upload a picture that you've created and license it under a free license. However, this Wikipedia also accepts non-free images, but they have to be licensed as such and non-free use rationale has to be included with it.

For this particular image I've used Template:Logo fur to describe why the image should be hosted on Wikipedia server (why it's important), its source and any other relevant information. Also, I've included Template:Non-free logo to indicate that this picture is not free for anyone to use.

Please let me know if you need more information, I'll try to help you out. --Kimse (talk) 02:25, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request for help

I contributed a page called Healthy Kids School Canteen Association and it has been marked by several admin as needing additional citation and wikifying, and they gave me several links for that, but the thing is I don't know which specific part of the article need this and how to pass the general notability guideline specifically for my article, because the link that they gave me is very general. Please help me show which part of the article that needs attention and what needs to be done to that part..--Rebecca brennan (talk) 04:13, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You've done very well for a first timer, so congratulations on that. The best and cleanest way to meet the notability guidelines is to show that the subject has received significant coverage in 3rd party sources. Most of the references in the article come from Healthy Kids SCA - has the Association received any kind of media coverage (newspaper, magazine, government publication etc)?--Kubigula (talk) 04:28, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. The normal convention around here is to add new talk page comments to the bottom - I know it's a bit counterintuitive. I have taken the liberty of moving this discussion to the bottom.

{{helpme}} Thanks for replying my request Kubigula. I have added a section called Collaboration on the Healthy Kids SCA Wikipage, whose source is not from Healthy Kids SCA Website, will that be enough to pass the notability guidelines?--Rebecca brennan (talk) 04:33, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No actually, they need to be third party links, that means they cannot be written by you (not judging), or the website itself. It needs to be third party links. BoL (Talk) 04:45, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The www.educating.co.nz link is a step in the right direction. To be safer, I'd say the article needs news or journal coverage. The good news is that nobody is seriously challenging or pressing for the deletion of the page. Ultimately, if there is a challenge, the community of editors makes the decision. I'll take a longer look at the article tomorrow and try to wikify it a bit more.--Kubigula (talk) 04:52, 3 September 2008 (UTC) (by the way, you don't need {{helpme}} anymore; I'll keep this page on my watchlist while we work this out).[reply]

Thank you so much Kubigula, for re-writing my article and wikifying them. Is there anything else I can do or add so that I can meet the general notability guidelines? --Rebecca brennan (talk) 04:44, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome - it's the Wiki way. As for the article, I did find a magazine article online that I will incorporate into the article. That should bolster the argument for meeting the GNG. Other than that, it would help if you can find one more news source - online or in print - that discusses the group. If not, I think there is probably enough already that the article is safe.--Kubigula (talk) 04:13, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
