[edit](Rangakuvara (talk) 03:10, 2 February 2014 (UTC)) Wikipedia is like an ocean, and difficult to understand by a person of my age, 69 an old timer, lacking the technology prowess. Hopefully you understand what I mean. While uploading a picture, if they don't own, and the not knowing the source, etc how to upload ? please mention in simple solution Because of this so many articles in wikipedia do not possess pics which they deserve. Why make it so complicated. Can you not simplify it sir ?
- If someone does not own a picture and they do not know what the source is, Wikipedia does not allow them to be uploaded, because of copyright concerns. (These are not specific to Wikipedia.) If you cannot find an image yourself, you can see how to request one from others at requested pictures. I can help you make this request if you want, but this help forum is only for help on new articles. I think we should continue this discussion elsewhere, perhaps on your talk page. --Anon126 (talk - contribs) 18:46, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
I would like like to create a article with the name Green Chillyz a fast food restaurant in bhubaneswar.It is not for any promotional activities. will it be possible?
- Individual restaurants are usually not notable by Wikipedia's standards. Does it meet the notability requirement detailed in Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)? Arthur goes shopping (talk) 10:55, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Hey The problem is thar I don´t have the username HauserBot is referring to any longer. I have a new because I forgot my login. And I also wonder, do I really have to edit every sixth month? I have under my new username maded some small changes. Please help me. Falcken41 (talk) 15:23, 2 February 2014 (UTC) This is the message from HauserBot: Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Hillarp, Nils-Åke, a page you created, has not been edited in 6 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.
If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.
You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.
Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 20:40, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
- Articles for creation requires that you edit drafts at least once every six months. If you can't do that, you can request that the article be userfied, that is, moved to a subpage of your userpage, for example User:Falcken41/Hillarp, Nils-Åke. This will give you more time to work on it. I could move it for you if you wish.
Idea: There is already an article about Nils-Åke Hillarp. If you have new information, you could just add it to the existing article and allow your draft to be deleted. --Anon126 (talk - contribs) 18:28, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
- It doesn't matter that you don't have access to the original ID, anyone can edit your article and save it from deletion- it doesn't have to be the original editor- it just matters that someone is working on it and it hasn't been forgotten. Rankersbo (talk) 20:18, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
