I'm probably doing something wrong, but was attempting to do a draft article on a user subpage, then find a WikiProject related to my company, and link the draft to the WikiProject's talk page--but I can't figure out where to find the Wikiproject lists. Any help??

sure... Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory

All known wikiprojects are listed at WP:PROJDIR. However, be careful of violating WP:COI or WP:OR when editing articles about your company. Leave me a note at my talk page if you need any thing else. Erik the Red 2 (AVE·CAESAR) 21:30, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm Really Lost Here

{{helpme}} Thanks for your respnse, Eric the Red. I was going to reply to your talk page, but didn't know how to access it. I clicked on your name, but didn't see how to leave a message. I appreciate all the information you included in your last reply, but am still unsure how I can find someone to do the article on LoneStart Wellness. I created a draft in User:Mws1188/LoneStart Article, and included a list of reliable outside sources with links to those sources. I don't want to write the article myself actually, since I wouldn't want it to be seen as a conflict of interest, but it is a great program, and I think it really is appropriate for the Health, diet, nutrition categories. There are many lesser-known and less-effective programs already listed. I'm just not a computer person really, and trying to figure out how this is done is really lost on me. Is there an easy way to get this to someone at Wikipedia who knows what they are doing and who would be willing to go through the steps to get this article on Wikipedia? Thanks again for your help. Sorry for the length here. Mws1188 (talk) 15:06, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

If you have reliable, outside sources, then nobody should accuse you of having a COI. What you do is just search for the title you want in the search box. At the top, you will see a red link with the name of the article. Click on the red link and then copy and paste the text into the edit box. You might want to put {{stub}} at the bottom, so other users will be notified and come around to try to expand it. Remember, be bold in editing.
