First of all, please allow me to thank you for respecting the project's Conflict of Interest guidelines and asking here for help with this. There is a "Requested Articles' feature for exactly this reason.
  1. Click This Link.
  2. Click the link in the Table of Contents for the category of article you would like created.
  3. Click the link for the the section heading that most closely applies to your article.
  4. Hold down the Shift and Alt keys and hit the "E" key (this brings up the edit window).
  5. Find a blank space under the subsection heading you think is applicable. These are set off from the main text by rows of equal signs on either side. For example the "North America" subsection heading for "History" looks like this: ==North America==
  6. Start a new request with a blank line.
  7. Type * {{req|Lane Anderson Award}}.
  8. Add more information about what the the article is about, what the issue is, why it matters, and whatever links about the article you can supply.
  9. Finish your posting by typing four tilde characters in a row to sign your post. Like this: ~~~~
  10. Below the main text box is a smaller one that has the label "Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)". Type something like: "requesting new article about the Lane Anderson Award"
  11. Click "Show Preview" to make sure it looks good.
  12. Scroll all the way back down to the bottom where you will see the edit window again.
  13. Make any changes necessary
  14. Click "Save Changes"
I can't guarantee that this will get your article created, but it may be your best shot. I hope this helps. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 16:29, 30 June 2017 (UTC)Reply
