How can I earn money? Someone help me. --Blackmarkman (talk) 09:08, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Blackmarkman! I’m not sure if you’re asking about on Wikipedia or in general, but either way I can’t help you. Wikipedia editors are generally volunteers and don’t get paid for their work. More generally, I’m afraid I’m not qualified to give career advice. Either way, if you have any questions about editing Wikipedia, feel free to stop by again and ask! Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 15:30, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello I need your help to update my account , to best of my knowledge I did , but you deleted it , as it was a fact mentioned , however I need your guidance to update Thanku --Perwani (talk) 04:44, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Perwani! I'll do my best to help out. Just to give you fair warning, my schedule is pretty busy right now and this message is probably going to get a little long, so bear with me, and feel free to ask for anything you have questions about! If you have a question you think is urgent, you can also try the Teahouse question forum if I'm away.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. You might be familiar with Encyclopedia Britannica – Wikipedia works in a similar way. It's not like LinkedIn, social media, or blogs; it doesn't have profiles, just articles. All of what it says about people should follow specific policies of sourcing, neutrality, tone, and weight. If you are closely connected with or, harder still, are, the subject of an article, it's incredibly difficult to follow all the policies for encyclopedic writing because we humans in general just don't tend to write that way about ourselves.

The result of all this is that Wikipedia asks article subjects and those who have a connection with article subjects to not write the articles – because they won't be encyclopedic, which is the point of Wikipedia. You can read more about that guideline, called conflict of interest, here.

The good news is there's still some things you can do to help update your article – you just shouldn't do them directly. All articles have (or have space for) a talk page, where discussion about improving the article takes place. In this case, the talk page is Talk:Sanjay Perwani. One of the most useful things you can do there is to use a Conflict of Interest (COI) edit request including sources for your changes, like so:

{{edit COI}}

• Specific text to be added or removed: ADD TEXT HERE
• Reason for the change: ADD TEXT HERE
• References supporting change: ADD URL AT LEAST

~~~~

That's probably the fastest way to get things changed: add what you think it should say, why, and most importantly, a good source for the changes. (This helps ensure verifiability, which is one of the things that makes this encyclopedia an encyclopedia.) For pretty simple stuff like adding terms to the article, providing a source that mentions it is probably all you need to do for that. As a matter of fact, much of the content you added should be okay if written in an encyclopedic tone and backed up by sources. The parts about your family are a bit less relevant for your article based on the English Wikipedia's style, though.

To summarize, you should read the conflict of interest guideline and follow its steps, then put your changes on the article talk page with the {{edit COI}} template and a source. You shouldn't edit the article directly because writing about yourself Wikipedia-style is difficult. (Side note: one thing you can do easier than many is to provide a photo, although there are some specific requirements for that, so ask away if you're interested.)

Please let me know if you have any questions, and happy editing! Best, Perfect4th (talk) 06:44, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How do I create an article for my business --Infiniti groom concepts (talk) 07:08, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Infiniti groom concepts, and welcome! I'm afraid the best answer to that is that you shouldn't. Wikipedia's job is to have articles on subjects that have been significantly covered in independent reliable sources; once that hurdle has been cleared, they then are supposed to neutrally say what reliable sources have said about the subject, and not what the subject says about themselves. As a result, such an outcome is not necessarily a good thing for your business as you'll have no control over what it says. It's very, very difficult for a business owner or employee to create an article about their business that conforms to Wikipedia's standards.

If you want to try anyway, which I recommend you don't, you should read the conflict of interest guideline and note that you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use to disclose that you are a paid editor. Then you can create a draft via the Articles for Creation process and submit it for review.

Sorry to be so discouraging about this, but the reason there are so many rules is that Wikipedia isn't designed to be an advertising service and doing so is contrary to the purpose of the encyclopedia. If you have any other questions about editing, feel free to let me know! Perfect4th (talk) 16:48, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi i was in the British army and i got AMinstLM does this still stand --Reggie2050 (talk) 11:05, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Reggie2050! I don't have much familiarity with AMinstLM or the British army, so I'm afraid I don't understand your question. Could you rephrase what you mean by "Does this still stand"?

You might do better to ask at the Reference Desk; I'm here to help with questions about editing Wikipedia, but they should be better able to help you with general knowledge questions. Happy editing! Perfect4th (talk) 16:48, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, TURIKUMWENAYO ERNESTE! I'm mostly knowledgeable about questions related to editing Wikipedia, so I'm not a very great reference for general questions. An Internet search or the Reference Desk might be better options for you. Let me know if you have any questions about editing Wikipedia! Perfect4th (talk) 23:23, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
