How to upload a picture on an article I am making. It is saying that it needs to be on Wikipedia Commons. Need some information regarding it. It is made by me and I own the copyright for the image. How to upload it on the article. Thank you in advance!

Go to Commons, upload the picture there. Then come back to the article here, and link it as [[File:YOUR FILE HERE]]. You can also add a caption. Here's an example from the Stanford article (notice it to the right of my answer):

[[File:Stanford Campus Aerial Photo.JPG|thumb|An [[aerial photography|aerial photograph]] of the center of the Stanford University campus in 2008.]]

Kashiyatra

@Siddharth1723: Thanks for replying; Wikipedia does take some time to get used to, so don't worry too much. I noticed you'd asked about how to edit on your talk page, so I suggest reading over the pages at Help:Tutorial, which gives you information on how to edit/format text, add sources, linking, and other general tips. In regards to the article, a deletion review is not necessary to reestablish the article. I had pointed you there thinking you were the original creator of the article, but looking closer it seems that was someone entirely different. The old article is largely based on self-published sources and contains a good deal of promotional material, so should probably not be used as the basis for a future entry. For now, I would suggest creating a draft (from scratch, not based on the old article) and working on finding some independent sources. Once you feel confident it's well-sourced and of satisfying quality, you can move it to the article namespace. Feel free to ask for help if necessary. —^0xF₈E₈ (talk) 19:50, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any simple editor or do I always need to open the source code and always write stuff like doing programming? Is there a guide explaining all the brackets and their uses ? Thank you in Advance.

@Siddharth1723: Hi! If you go to your preferences for editing and look at the "editing mode" option, you can choose between a few different options. --MarkTraceur (talk) 18:17, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Kashiyatra

Hi. You've attempted to restore the Kashiyatra article, which was redirected via a deletion discussion a few months ago. The deletion discussion is already closed, so you should not modify it as you did earlier. Wikipedia has "notability" criteria, which determine whether a topic is suitable for a standalone article; the relevant guidelines in this case are Notability (events) and the general notability guideline. As the deletion discussion determined, Kashiyatra does not meet these criteria; it hasn't received much coverage outside of the university and has little lasting significance. If you feel more sourcing has become available, you should discuss with the closing admin or go to deletion review rather than unilaterally restore it. I understand the desire to not have contributions go unseen, but this content is inappropriate for a standalone article. Perhaps you could add some material to Indian Institute of Technology (BHU) Varanasi#Festivals instead. —^0xF₈E₈ (talk) 17:29, 25 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Kashiyatra (October 1)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft has only one reference that is not its own web site. This draft is duplicated.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Kashiyatra and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
