Hello,

How do I create a citation? --Bellybutton.webnode.page (talk) 17:27, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) There are various ways to create a citation. One of the easiest ways is to use WP:Visual editor. It has a simple guide for doing so at Help:VisualEditor#Adding a new reference. Though, VE uses the next method under the hood. Wikipedia:Citing sources is a good reference (and guideline) for how to manually format references if you want to go that way. - Flower (she/her) 17:57, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello. I really like your moniker, especially since my son is an ATC. I have created an article about a living person. I am quite confident it is worthy and relevant to be published; however, it is about a person with whom I am acquainted. Where can I put the article so independent review before publishing can be adequately obtained? I have followed all of the article creation guides, and the article is neutral, not promotional, but definitely informational for the group of individuals who are interested in the topic. Thanks for your assistance. Mrgoodfriend (talk) 21:15, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

@Mrgoodfriend: Hi, and thanks! This process is what Articles for Creation is designed for. The page I linked there has a blue "start a new article" button; that should guide you through the process and ultimately submit a draft for review. Let me know if you have any questions!

How can I move a sandbox into alive wikipedia page./ I tried looking in tools but nothing there --An Eolas Mór (talk) 23:34, 26 February 2026 (UTC)

@An Eolas Mór: Hi, welcome! I've taken a look at your sandbox. I'd suggest you go through the Articles for Creation process that is designed to review new articles before they're published. If you visit this link, you should be able to submit your sandbox (you'd want to put "User:An Eolas Mór/sandbox" in the first input box). I will note that before this draft can be accepted, multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject will be needed to meet the relevant notability guideline. Let me know if you have any questions! AviationFreak💬 04:55, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

Thank you. I am new to this and not very good with computer stuff and appreciate any help. I have added references which I hope will help. Please advise further. An Eolas Mór (talk) 12:02, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

@An Eolas Mór: Apologies for the later response. At the top of your sandbox there is a banner with a blue "Submit your draft for review!" button. Clicking that will take you to a page where you can enter a little more info and then submit it for review by experienced editors. That page may complain that you don't have any references, but that's just because they're not formatted like it's expecting (not a critical issue; see this page for info on how to properly format your references).

How can Wikipedia knows my bio --Owusu Frimpong Anthony (talk) 03:45, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

@Owusu Frimpong Anthony: There's a guide to creating an article here, but creating your own autobiography is very strongly discouraged. Please read this page for more information. Let me know if you have any other questions. AviationFreak💬 21:55, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello there dear Mentor! Do you know of any way I can expedite the publication of this page? I know I am supposed to be patient! But, yikes, I am not being patient. Here is my opus: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:A.E._%22Dal%22_Grauer

Thanks for your help, Dear Mentor!! --Bizzyfan (talk) 20:50, 11 March 2026 (UTC)

@Bizzyfan: Hi! Sorry, but unfortunately there's no real way to speed up the AFC review process. A list of active reviewers by topic is available here; you may be able to contact a relevant editor via their talk page but please avoid spamming these requests. Let me know if you have any other questions! AviationFreak💬 00:23, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you! I shall not spam! I don't think I'll even trouble them at all. Thank you very much for the reply, dear Mentor! Patience. Is. A. Virtue.! Bizzyfan (talk) 01:35, 12 March 2026 (UTC)

How do I list a page about a company --Fubb9 (talk) 15:39, 16 March 2026 (UTC)

@Fubb9: The first step would be to verify that the company meets the relevant notability guideline. If the company does meet that guideline, see this page for info on creating an article. AviationFreak💬 21:41, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

The page was up for many years. Not sure why it disappeared ~2026-17041-16 (talk) 21:51, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

What is the page in question? If the page was taken down, it was likely as the result of a deletion discusion or a proposed deletion. AviationFreak💬 03:59, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

Lombart Instrument was the page. I am trying to relist it ~2026-17041-16 (talk) 13:08, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

Ah yep, that was deleted in June of last year. When resubmitting it via WP:AFC, make sure to include references that show significant coverage of the company in independent sources; not having those was the reason the page was deleted. AviationFreak💬 15:31, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
