Please help me with an issue, i'm sorry I'm just not clicking with all the tutorials that I've read.. I've tried to create a wiki for an artist that I manage and it's just, I'm not sure now how to request publishing?

 * , the problem you are having relates to the Conflict of Interest policies that Wikipedia has in place. Please understand that it is not unusual for new users to join Wikipedia and try to create an article concerning a subject they care about deeply. In point of fact, it is how a great number of established editors and administrators started.  The community rarely tries to actively drive off new users.


 * That said, it is undoubtedly frustrating for new users to read "Anyone can edit" as a promise from the site, and then be told over and over again that their edits are not wanted. That's not exactly what's happening, but I know that's what it feels like.


 * The basic issue is this: Wikipedia has, over the course of many discussions, reached two decisions that affect you personally: 1) People directly connected to an article's subject should not be the ones to make the biggest contributions to that article and 2) There need to be significant, independent, verifiable sources to each claim an article makes. There are good reasons for this site to have made those decisions, but they can easily feel discriminatory to those caught against them.


 * I suggest you might want to request another editor to create the article for you.
 * Click This Link.
 * Click the link in the Table of Contents for the category of article you would like created.
 * Click the link for the the section heading that most closely applies to your article.
 * Hold down the Shift and Alt keys and hit the "E" key (this brings up the edit window).
 * 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 "Bands, performers and songwriters" subsection heading for "Music" looks like this: ==Bands, performers and songwriters==
 * Start a new request with a blank line.
 * Type *.
 * 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. Note that there are standards of what subjects are "notable" enough for inclusion and anything you can do to :indicate your subject meets those standards will be helpful.
 * Finish your posting by typing four tilde characters in a row to sign your post. Like this: ~
 * 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 Ingrid Mae"
 * Click "Show Preview" to make sure it looks good.
 * Scroll all the way back down to the bottom where you will see the edit window again.
 * Make any changes necessary
 * Click "Save Changes"


 * I can't guarantee that this will get your article created, but it may be your best shot. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 19:10, 7 September 2017 (UTC)


 * , Thank you so much for your help. I deleted the content that I had first posted and have followed your instructions and applied for "requesting new article about Ingrid Mae". I will need to probably delete the account if the name is inappropriate as I cannot see an edit username function in the administration panel.. Again thank you for all your assistance, this was hard for me doing this talented gal a favor, she deserves it.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Squirrelmusic", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because the username is a corporate one and implies either promotional or shared use. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 16:28, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
