Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. [1] MrOllie (talk) 02:20, 18 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Kim Abeles article

edit

Hi Jaqueline. I'm trying to find out who or what is telling new users to create a draft article about Kim Abeles - Wikipedia already has a full article about her at Kim Abeles, and has done for years! Are you a student being asked to do this by a teacher, or are you working from a "how to edit Wikipedia" guide that's out of date?

Would be great to get an answer, I've been seeing a lot of people making the same articles, but they've always stopped using Wikipedia by the time I ask the question.

Thanks. Belbury (talk) 20:33, 28 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello, JaquelineP06 and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students. Go through our online training for students

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text: {{Educational assignment}} on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! Belbury (talk) 12:07, 8 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
