    Hey i have successfully created a Wikipedia page,but these messages show up and i don't understand here are the messages:
    This article relies too much on references to primary sources. Please improve this by adding secondary or tertiary sources
    This article has not been added to any content categories. Please help out by adding categories to it so that it can be listed with similar articles

    • @TheWikiShowEdits
      @TheWikiShowEdits  4 роки тому +1

      For the first tag, it means the sources for page are too close to the subject. Example, an article about a website uses the website itself as a source.
      This is fixed by finding sources that are not connected to or authored by the subject.
      The second tag, involves adding catagorys to an article. They are located at the bottom of the page. There is a tool in the edit menu to assist in finding and adding categories.
      Both are common issues for new articles with basic referencing.

      This is not something that can be avoided. Not all pages are suitable for Wikipedia. The only way is to prove notoriety with academic sources. Part of being a good editor is listening to the editing community. Pages are not nominated for deletion arbitrarily and usually have feedback as to why.

      hi Shamin, you don't need any autoconfirmed account for this. most probably, you have submitted somewhere else on the internet also. if you have any domain and you can send an email to the Wikipedia foundation from your domain-based email address then they will accept (any OTRS member) your image and your image will not get deleted easily.
