User talk:Colonel Anil Shorey

helpme

Dear Editor/s,

I am trying to contribute an article on the Indian Army and its badges. The entry does not exist in wikipedia. I have researched and authored an article on this, and it exists on my homepage: www.colonelanilshorey.com as well as on :www.indianarmythroughbadges.com.

Is it possible for me to make this contribution since the copyright for all instances on the internet lies with me?

Thank you for your guidance

Colonel Anil Shorey (retd.)


 * I believe Donating copyrighted materials should help you to release the material, and then you can work it into a Wikipedia-usable form from there. Leaving the help me up for others to give further input, or remove it if this is enough. –xenotalk 08:49, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello. It looks like the makings of a good article and I second what Xeno said (we can't use it unless you go through the formal process of releasing the material to us), but I would add that if you post that content here you must add to it by citing sources which verify the content. These are fundamental requirements for proper content here. My initial search of sources shows there may be much that can be used online. See, for example, this search of books. By the way, it is often a good idea to create a new article in a subpage rather than in the article mainspace and work it up there until you are ready to "go live". I think you will get some good feedback if you do so and once there, post to the help desk ask for some experienced users to have a look. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 15:26, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
