How do I upload a picture on the page I am creating?
Stephenoshea (talk) 03:20, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Stephenoshea. The copyright holder (generally the photographer) will need to license the photograph appropriately before it can be used here. That is straightforward if you are the photographer. If not, read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials and the how-to guide Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. After you have the correct permissions, there are two main steps: first upload the image, then use it on a page.
- Go to Commons:Special:UploadWizard and carefully step through the tutorial. When you get to "First steps/Uploading files", don't dive in too hastily. First follow the link on that page to learn about the different licensing options. Other useful advance reading includes Wikipedia:File names and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Images, which will prepare you to answer important questions the upload wizard will ask you. If after that you have any questions or doubts, there is a different help desk for image uploading. Once you've uploaded an image, the picture tutorial can guide you through how to use it on a page. --Worldbruce (talk) 16:48, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

I need to know why my page has been declined as I have provided the reference from high-quality websites. What else do I need to get my page published? Shailna (talk) 05:40, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Shailna - As the reviewing editor said, the problem is that the sources are not "high-quality" and you've only got two. The first is to a, closed, company profiling site and the second is a blog site. They aren't the reliable sources you need. Have a look at this guidance, Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources, which tells you how to find reliable sources. You also need significant coverage to demonstrate that your subject is notable, which can't be just mentions of the subject. Lastly, you have to make sure your draft isn't an advertisement for the company, which it looks like at the moment and, if you are connected to the company, you need to make this clear, see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Hope this helps. KJP1 (talk) 07:53, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

How do I create my article?
Bookbinder 01 (talk) 07:18, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Bookbinder 01 you need to actually follow the advice given by two previous reviewers, you must remove the inline external links and find more independent sources such as mainstream news or magazine articles. Wikipedia does not care much about what a subject (or the subject's employees, representatives or agents) have to say about it. We need information from disinterested independent sources (such as mainstream news) about the subject and its activities. I hope this helps, if you need more clarification, you now know where to find us. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 07:27, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

- No draft specified!

Hello. Anyone interested in doing a Wiki page for In The Loop Magazine? They are a independent music publication based in Chicago, IL. They have been around for several years and have some pretty incredible stories, interviews, live concerts, behind the scenes stuff and more that really should be added. Several artists have made reference to them but there doesn't seem to be anything listed about them yet.
- Hi 198.167.129.15. It's possible someone will take you up on this here, but it'd be best to try at Wikipedia:Requested_articles, if you haven't already. Mortee (talk) 22:01, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
