Question from Manhulnt (06:16, 15 May 2024)[edit]

How you add photos --Manhulnt (talk) 06:16, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ManhuInt: sorry for the delay in getting back to you; I've been very busy lately. Help:Pictures gives a lot of information about handling images on Wikipedia; in particular, if you want to add an image to a page, you can use the following syntax: [[File:Example.jpg]], replacing "Example.jpg" with the file name of the image you want to add, of course. For example, I can add the image "Example.jpg" as follows:

Other files - videos, audio clips, etc. - can also be added to an article by this method. Java Hurricane 11:12, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Polarbear1224 (20:24, 17 May 2024)[edit]

How do I create a page on mobile? --Polarbear1224 (talk) 20:24, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Polarbear1224: I'm not wholly sure about this; and there's a lot to be said about article creation that I do not have the time to write. I advise you to visit the Teahouse to have this query answered. Java Hurricane 11:16, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from ChadrickBFuentes (20:04, 18 May 2024)[edit]

I will endeavor to offer edits that improve the information in Wikipedia articles, but I'm curious what the process is if I make a mistake and my edit is actually incorrect. In such an egalitarian environment, I wonder how authority is invoked to correct an error. --ChadrickBFuentes (talk) 20:04, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ChadrickBFuentes: hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We do have certain processes to deal with editorial disagreements: the first step in dispute resolution is generally the Bold-Revert-Discuss cycle. In the event your edit is wrong, someone will probably revert your edit with an edit summary to that effect. You can then discuss with the editor who reverted you on the talk page of the article.

Thanks, I'm glad to be here. I appreciate the answer ... that makes sense. I like the order and process that's in place to address it. ChadrickBFuentes (talk) 15:31, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from AzraSyedNaweed (23:35, 20 May 2024)[edit]

Hello,

I want to create a page for my employer, but I've read that I would need to go through a third-party route. Can you please confirm on how to create the page? --AzraSyedNaweed (talk) 23:35, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AzraSyedNaweed: you are being scammed. There are, indeed, a number of companies and people out there who claim to write articles on Wikipedia in exchange for money. Most of these claims are either fraudulent or made by people who have no respect for Wikipedia's rules. We have a a pretty strict policy on paid editing due to such scammers, who rarely follow the policy. If you have any emails from such a company claiming to write an article for pay, please forward it as soon as you can to paid-en-wp

wikimedia.org.

I also advise you against writing an article on your employer yourself (or getting someone to write it for you). The page I've linked contains some useful information on why - I think you should also show that page to your employer. Java Hurricane 11:54, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Thank you so much for the reply. Can you let me know how I can get a page done for my employer? 184.147.66.103 (talk) 22:26, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
