Question from Ronald W. Evans (17:04, 30 November 2025)

Dear Mentor,

I am writing to ask what suggestions you have that may help in my efforts to create a Wikipedia page briefly describing my work as a scholar focused on the conflicts over social studies in schools, a prominent topic in the national media at this time. My work is widely cited by scholars in academic journals and books as evidenced in Google Scholar (3,929 citations: see https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=ECeOopQAAAAJ&hl=en).

Thank you, Ron Evans --Ronald W. Evans (talk) 17:04, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Ronald W. Evans thanks for checking in - I have to say it's prob better not to write about yourself here. If you are notable by wikipedia standards (which often does not correspond with real world notability) then someone will make an entry about you, using secondary sources. The specific notability criteria for academics is outlined at WP:NACADEMIC. Mujinga (talk) 18:13, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response. I read the notability criteria for academics and I meet at least two of the criteria.:

1. "The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources." Evidence: Independent review appearing in Theory and Research in Social Education, the leading academic research journal in social studies.https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/00933104.2012.674422 See esp. the last few lines. Also named an Outstanding Academic Title, Choice Magazine, 2004, The Social Studies Wars: What Should We Teach the Children? (New York: Teachers College Press, 2004). Fewer than 3% of academic titles receive this recognition. My research has had a significant impact in the discipline. I am widely viewed as the leading historian of social studies in the US.
2. "The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level." Evidence: I received the 2015 Jean Dresden Grambs Distinguished Career Research Award, the 2015 Exemplary Research Award, and the 2008 Exemplary Research in Award from the National Council for the Social Studies, and several other national awards: https://ronaldwevans.wordpress.com/awards/

Ronald W. Evans (talk) 20:29, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Ronald W. Evans. As I said and as you have been advised at User talk:Ronald W. Evans, writing about yourself tends not be a good idea. Your article wouldn't currently pass wikipedia notability standards, 4 of the 5 sources are written by yourself. Maybe ask at Wikipedia:WikiProject Sociology for help? Best, Mujinga (talk) 23:19, 30 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from WozzaO (03:57, 1 December 2025)

Hi ; My daughter is listed on Wiki as part of the Thai Women's Football team, I want to add some background information about her. I made some notes on a 'talk' page that I would like to use if possible. --WozzaO (talk) 03:57, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @WozzaO anything you add needs to be cited to reliable sources. And it's best to declare your conflict of interest too. Happy editing, Mujinga (talk) 03:59, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from TRFS1585 (16:17, 1 December 2025)

Hello Mujinga, I am hoping you can guide me on my first article submission. I have a conflict of interest with the subject, a company called Tyto Robotics; a Canadian company that provides analytical instruments and software to global UAV manufacturers and researchers. I understand the due to this COI, I should not create the article directly. I would like to create a draft on Articles for Creation page and request that an independent editor review and publish it, once I have fully disclosed my relationship. I'm prepared to provide all the necessary independent sources about the company (journal articles, research papers etc). Could you advise me on the best way to proceed with the AfC process and ensure my disclosure is compliant? --TRFS1585 (talk) 16:17, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @TRFS1585 and thanks for checking in. You've prob already read Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide as it was linked from your talkpage. Wikipedia:Articles for creation describes the submission process. Cheers! Mujinga (talk) 19:27, 1 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Ssmerdova (10:03, 2 December 2025)

Hello, how can I create a article and its subtitles --Ssmerdova (talk) 10:03, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Ssmerdova, this guide takes you through the process - Help:Introduction to editing with Wiki Markup/1. Best of luck! Mujinga (talk) 10:12, 2 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Mujinga Id like to ask, how can I move article from my sandbox to mian page, although I contributed with some edits and my account is old several weeks? Id appreciate some help pls Ssmerdova (talk) 14:48, 1 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Ssmerdova well User:Ssmerdova/sandbox is not currently at wikipedia standard. You would need to declare your conflict of interest and further, need citations to high quality sources independent of the subject, which in this case would be reviews in national newspapers or magazines. Then and only then the process is outlined at Wikipedia:Articles for creation Mujinga (talk) 08:34, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

how can I request change of username and email? Ssmerdova (talk) 08:45, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Being Nadeeem (11:34, 3 December 2025)

i published an Wiki profile but not approved --Being Nadeeem (talk) 11:34, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Being Nadeeem looks like you put it to Articles for Creation then withdrew it again? The process to follow is outlined at Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Would be good if you got your head round wikipedia stylistic conventions before submitting! Best, Mujinga (talk) 13:23, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Scanmiuk (19:27, 3 December 2025)

Hi Mujinga, I’m working on improving a draft biography for a fashion designer (Draft:Davanh DiMarco). I want to make sure the article follows Wikipedia’s notability and style guidelines. Would you be willing to look at the draft and let me know if the tone, sourcing, and structure meet the requirements for a biography of a living person? I want to be sure everything is formatted correctly before resubmitting it to Articles for Creation. Thank you for any guidance, it’s appreciated. --Scanmiuk (talk) 19:27, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

hi @Scanmiuk and welcome to wikipedia. there's a difference between wikipedia-determined notability and real life fame. i'm not sure if Draft:Davanh DiMarco would be approved via Wikipedia:Articles for creation because in terms of wikipedia notability the article seems minimal and mainly based around the arson incident Mujinga (talk) 17:46, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the clarification. I understand the distinction between Wikipedia notability and real-life visibility. I do want to mention that Davanh and I are the subjects of several independent articles where our names appear in the headline or URL slug, including the CNN segment with Jake Tapper and the Women’s Wear Daily article that profiles her specifically as a Los Angeles designer. Those sources cover her directly as an identifiable subject, not only as part of the larger event.

Also, the earlier version of the draft was written using wording taken closely from the sources themselves, but it was rejected for tone/AI formatting, which is why I rewrote it in a simpler and more neutral style.

I’d appreciate any guidance on how to better reflect the sourcing so the draft aligns with Wikipedia’s notability standards. Scanmiuk (talk) 19:49, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Scanmiuksure - I'd say read other similar articles and see how they are structured and remain neutral in tone, then submit to Wikipedia:Articles for creation - happy editing! Mujinga (talk) 19:52, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Scanmiuk (19:28, 3 December 2025)

Hi Mujinga, I recently submitted an edit request on the Talk page for the Scott Mitchell (wide receiver) article because there has been major new independent coverage about me since the page was last updated. I want to make sure the way I structured the request follows Wikipedia’s guidelines for tone, sourcing, and notability.

If you have a moment, could you look at the request and let me know if the format and approach are appropriate? I’m not asking for approval, just making sure I followed the correct editing process. Thank you. --Scanmiuk (talk) 19:28, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Scanmiuk thanks for checking in about this, what you have done seems fine, we are all volunteers here so now you just have to wait for a volunteer to answer on your requested edits. Mujinga (talk) 17:48, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for taking a look at it and the reply. Scanmiuk (talk) 19:38, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Wrdawdy on List of dive bars (16:53, 4 December 2025)

I wanted to add a dive bar to the list in this article. --Wrdawdy (talk) 16:53, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Wrdawdy hellos, a good place to start learning is Help:Introduction to editing. if adding a bar, please cite the information to a reliable source! Mujinga (talk) 17:43, 4 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Sanjayprajapat716 (05:15, 5 December 2025)

Hello --Sanjayprajapat716 (talk) 05:15, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

see below Mujinga (talk) 13:53, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Sanjayprajapat716 (09:11, 5 December 2025)

I have created a page for my company, but it is not getting approved even though I have tried to follow Wikipedia’s terms and conditions. Could you please guide me on what changes I need to make so that the page meets Wikipedia’s requirements and can be approved? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:RoboMQ

Thank you. --Sanjayprajapat716 (talk) 09:11, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'd suggest reading Help:Your first article. Draft:RoboMQ is far from establishing notbility and it is not a good idea to write about your own company. This is an encyclopedia. Mujinga (talk) 13:54, 5 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

am an employee of this company. Could you please guide me on what steps we need to take to get our company listed on Wikipedia? Sanjayprajapat716 (talk) 04:56, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

First off, I would advise reading Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Best, Mujinga (talk) 08:43, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mujinga,

Thank you for your patience and for guiding me earlier. I’ve now carefully read the Conflict of Interest guidelines and I understand why Wikipedia is strict about this. I just want to clarify that this company isn’t mine. I’m only an employee trying to understand how the process works.

I’ve checked the company documents and gathered coverage from reliable, independent sources like Forbes and other reputed publications. Could you please take a moment to check and let me know whether the company’s name and the sources meet Wikipedia’s notability requirements? I don’t want to violate any rules, so your guidance would really help before I try creating the page again.

Last time the draft was marked as spam, and I’m not sure if it was because of mistakes from my side or something else. I just want to do things the right way. If you could guide me on what exactly needs improvement, I would truly appreciate it. Thank you again for your time and support. Sanjayprajapat716 (talk) 12:01, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya @Sanjayprajapat716 Where are the sources? You can put your three best ones here for feedback if you like. Mujinga (talk) 16:59, 11 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Here are a few independent, third-party sources that mention RoboMQ and its products. I’ve tried to select the most substantial ones rather than press announcements. I’d really appreciate your feedback on whether these are the kind of sources Wikipedia looks for when assessing notability:

1. AP News – Coverage of RoboMQ product developments and business activity https://apnews.com/article/technology-business-cloud-computing-services-corporate-news-products-and-services-825c98d504c79ca8dd8972db51944e80
2. Yahoo Finance – Independent business news article covering RoboMQ product launches https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/robomq-launches-major-product-enhancements-230000836.html
3. Enterprise Times – Mention of RoboMQ in a weekly technology news roundup https://www.enterprisetimes.co.uk/2023/03/27/news-from-the-week-beginning-20th-march-2023/
4. Forbes (Council article) – RoboMQ leadership referenced in a Forbes platform article https://www.forbes.com/councils/theyec/2019/01/16/developing-a-major-project-eight-ways-to-improve-planning/

I understand that some sources may not qualify as significant coverage, and I’m happy to be corrected. Before making any further edits or resubmitting a draft, I wanted to check whether these sources are suitable or if different types of coverage would be required.

Thanks again for your time and guidance — it’s much appreciated. Sanjayprajapat716 (talk) 11:27, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So:

1 - a press release via https://www.newswire.com/news/robomq-offers-certified-servicenow-integration-connectors-on-connect-21366073, not independent

2 - "This is a paid press release", not independent

3 - minor mention

4 - minor mention

If these are your best sources I don't think there's enough to write an encyclopedia article about RoboMQ Mujinga (talk) 17:49, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Help with updating Eshy Gazit artical

Hello, and thank you for your work on the Eshy Gazit article.

I have a conflict of interest as I am the subject of the article, so I am not making any direct edits. However, I have prepared a fully sourced draft in my sandbox and would appreciate your guidance or review.

Draft: User:Intertwinerecords/sandbox

A list of reliable sources supporting the improvements is available on the article’s Talk page.

If you have time, I would greatly appreciate your input or any advice on how best to proceed following Wikipedia policies (WP:BLP, WP:COI, WP:V, WP:RS).

Thank you. --Intertwinerecords (talk) 09:45, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Intertwinerecords the way to proceed here is to follow Wikipedia:Edit requests. Mujinga (talk) 12:53, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from KlieneWiki (15:43, 6 December 2025)

Is it necessary to add citations linked to other websites if I edit scientific and quantifiable information? If so, how can I do it? --KlieneWiki (talk) 15:43, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@KlieneWiki yes if you add info, it should be cited to a reliable source. more on how that works here - Wikipedia:Citing sources Mujinga (talk) 17:54, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from WilliamAftonHere (09:32, 7 December 2025)

How to activate bots? --William Afton From FNAF (talk) 09:32, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @WilliamAftonHere do you mean how to use bots to make automated edits? Mujinga (talk) 17:33, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I guess so William Afton From FNAF (talk) 18:49, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The process is outlined at (to take one example) Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser but it's probably best as a beginner to concentrate on understanding how wikipedia works first off, Help:Editing is a good place to start. Best, Mujinga (talk) 08:46, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from QuietJosef (04:35, 9 December 2025)

Hey Mujinga,

I was wondering what the protocol is for citations that point to webpages that no longer exist. --QuietJosef (talk) 04:35, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @QuietJosef that's a great question. The first step is not to delete but rather to try to preserve - WP:DEADREF covers this in detail. Happy editing! Mujinga (talk) 09:07, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Scooter McLefty on Model United Nations (23:44, 9 December 2025)

Hello! I am looking at this article to copy edit and I do not see anything that seems overtly subjective. Are there phrases/terms or things that help indicate this? Also how do I add a (citiation needed) tag?

Thanks! --Scooter McLefty (talk) 23:44, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Scooter McLefty, were you suggested the page to edit? If so, just move on to the next suggestion. You'll pick up the ropes through experience just like everyone else! Wikipedia:Citation needed explains about how to add that tag. Cheers, Mujinga (talk) 12:22, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah it was a suggestion from Wikipedia. I appreciate it! Scooter McLefty (talk) 16:30, 10 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Taylor & Hart Draft: Best 3 sources

Hi there, I am sharing the best 3 sources and hoping this can help with the approval of the Taylor & Hart page. Here they are:

https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/business/consumer/leeds-photographer-creates-nationwide-advertising-campaign-shot-entirely-on-facetime-3066910

https://uk.fashionnetwork.com/news/Jeweller-taylor-hart-opens-uk-workshop,1188263.html

https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/jeweler-haribo-inspired-engagement-ring

These are only a few of the best sources, there's a lot more but I didn't want to overload the page. Let me know if that works for you! Thank you! Violetsorrengail (talk) 15:08, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Violetsorrengail, if those are the three best sources, I don't think this article is suitable for wikipedia. We require significant coverage in reliable sources - 1/ is a brief mention of an advertising campaign 2/ is a press release 3/ is ok-sih, but see WP:FOXNEWS. Sorry I'm sure that's not what you want to hear, but not everything is notable on wikipedia standards. Mujinga (talk) 18:15, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Mujinga, thanks for the feedback. I don't want to argue but all of these are providing honest, genuine coverage that has not been paid for, they are secondary and even if some are off the back of a press release, the subject matter is still worth covering and has been picked up by international press naturally. I guess what I don't understand and why I'm struggling is the fact that pages like this one: Baby Gold are allowed then? Violetsorrengail (talk) 10:12, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree the sourcing on Baby Gold isn't great, altho at least the VoyageLA is ok. But standards have changed between 2021 and now. Mujinga (talk) 17:46, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Runningonsugar (19:20, 12 December 2025)

yo, my edit got removed by a guy called monkeysmashingkeyboard. It was not vandalism, just a contribution. It was on the "Pavlice, Znojmo District" page --Runningonsugar (talk) 19:20, 12 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Runningonsugar, yes your edit was reverted (nicely) because you added three redlinked businesses without providing a citation, over at Pavlice (Znojmo District). That's how wikipedia works, and it's all tracked in the "view history" tab for every article - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pavlice_(Znojmo_District)&action=history. Cheers, Mujinga (talk) 11:05, 13 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

should i just not put the brackets around them then? Runningonsugar (talk) 20:08, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Runningonsugar the issue is that you didn't provide a citation to significant coverage in a reliable source Mujinga (talk) 14:17, 15 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mentor welcome templates

Hi, Mujinga, I notice you have been welcoming mentees to Wikipedia; thanks for that, and bravo! I just signed up as a mentor recently, and found the sole welcome template, {{Mentor welcome}}, wanting. So, I created {{Welcome mentee}} and have started to use that one. Feel free to use it as well, and let me know how you like it. I am active on the Welcoming committee, and I think we need a selection of mentor templates available to us to choose from; spare ones like {{Welcome}}, graphical ones for some users like {{Welcome to Wikipedia}}, and others. In some cases, it might be sufficient simply to add a mentor or Homepage link to some of the existing welcome templates. Feel free to add any ideas you have on this to the template talk page, or contact me on my Talk page. Thanks! Mathglot (talk) 12:36, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Howdo @Mathglot thanks for that and the rest of the stuff you do round here. I agree with the need for a new template and I'll drop any ideas in, if I have any. Cheers Mujinga (talk) 13:44, 14 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy back! I don't know if you've run into this situation, but even if I sit on my dashboard and jump on a new mentee as soon as they are listed, a good part of the time they have already been welcomed by somebody else using a standard welcome template. (This appears to be related to some delay in mentees appearing on the dashboard.) I still want to introduce myself to my mentee, but not with either of the two mentor templates we have now because they are too long and would duplicate a lot of the information in a standard welcome. So, I created {{welcome mentee brief}} for this situation, i.e., to briefly introduce yourself as their mentor. And it even has an option to say, I'd also like to welcome you... so it flows better after the first welcome. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 23:38, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Nojnam (14:34, 18 December 2025)

Hello and thanks for mentoring me. I just made a change to the entry on Robert Mosher, architect. There was a reference in it to him having been an apprentice to the well-known architect Frank Lloyd Wright. I removed it because the architectural apprentice to Wright was a different Robert Mosher, whom I happened to know. If my edit was done incorrectly I would be glad to learn that! --Nojnam (talk) 14:34, 18 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Nojnam, nice name and welcome to wikipedia. You were bold and made the change which is good, you explained your reasons which is also good. Strictly speaking edit summaries are not for communication about why you made a change but for explaining what you did but in this case I think what you did works. Normally we might use the talkpage, in this case Talk:Robert_Mosher to discuss. Nice one and happy editing. Mujinga (talk) 18:27, 18 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@JoeA700 please give Wikipedia:Conflict of interest a read! Mujinga (talk) 18:20, 26 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Mujinga. I had read that, so I did fill out something that disclosed who my employer was. Upon doing that, can I not submit a short, factual page for review? Thanks, Joe JoeA700 (talk) 18:24, 26 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@JoeA700 Yes you mentioned a disclosure, but I don't see where you have put it. Maybe it didn't save? Mujinga (talk) 23:43, 26 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Mujinga -- I am getting confused as to where to start. I thought maybe I should start by drafting/creating this page, for a page to be called ServicePower? User:JoeA700/sandbox/ServicePower JoeA700 (talk) 13:18, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@JoeA700 yeah that works and you can add the disclosure to the talkpage Mujinga (talk) 14:04, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Mujinga! I have drafted this page: User:JoeA700/sandbox/ServicePower. I know it needs more work; in particular, my initial questions are:

- how do I now add the disclosure to this page?

- I probably did not do the embedded links correctly -- should I also add them to the reference section? What other changes should I make to them?

Thanks, Joe JoeA700 (talk) 14:29, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@JoeA700 just saw this now. you add the disclosure to the talkpage, which at the moment is Usertalk:JoeA700/sandbox/ServicePower. by embedded links do you mean the wikilinks? yes they should not be in the references, but bluelinked - Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking Mujinga (talk) 16:07, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings Mentor

I was informed you are assigned as my current mentor. I probably won't do much very soon, but I may in the near future want to add a section to the Chimney Rock, Nebraska entry regarding erosion of the peak and submit a new entry on a popular pseudoscience figure which I think would be helpful in debunking claims and supporting real science.

I have no questions at this time but wanted to introduce myself. Cheers for the new year. FreelanceMinion (talk) 17:54, 29 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @FreelanceMinion just remember things need to be cited to reliable sources on this encyclopedia! Mujinga (talk) 09:50, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Anderson Xiang (10:30, 30 December 2025)

Hi Mentor Mujinga,

In November, I was tasked by my company to create a Wikipedia page for our product (an app). A month has passed, and it seems little progress has been made. Could you help me identify what might be the issue?

Here's the link to the Wikipedia page I created:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Anderson_Xiang/sandbox --Anderson Xiang (talk) 10:30, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Anderson Xiang well you have created a draft but not submitted it so nobody has reviewed it. I will add that in its current form it will not be accepted as a wikipedia article since it doesn't follow the basic requirements for an article, the major issue being that many statements are not back by a reference to significant coverage in an independent and reliable source such as a national magazine or newspaper. Mujinga (talk) 12:04, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much, Mentor Mujinga. Our app has been featured in three media outlets: “The Washington Post,” “USA Today,” and “Romper.” Below are links to the three articles. The most influential one, from The Washington Post, contained negative information. Could you advise me on what types of media and type of coverage would meet Wikipedia's criteria for reliable sources?

Page to submit

Hi Mujinga, thanks for all the help and guidance you have provided. I have made edits to the page including several citations. Do you think it is ready to submit now? User:JoeA700/sandbox/ServicePower Thanks, Joe JoeA700 (talk) 14:29, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @JoeA700 no I wouldn't say it's ready, it doesn't fit the wikipedia style which you can see by comparing it to other articles and I'm not sure if the company is actually notable on wikistandards. Have you already read Help:Your first article? Mujinga (talk) 16:05, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mujinga, thanks. I tried to follow the style -- brief overview, history, notable acquisitions, technology provided. I was trying to follow several examples. Here is one similar company: ServiceTitan. As for notable, not sure the exact standards, as the articles mentioned it is not an exact science. The company has been researched and reported on several times, for example, by leading industry analysts such as Gartner ($6B plus revenue), IDC, and others, and its software is in use by Global 100 and Fortune 500 companies.

Appreciate any guidance. JoeA700 (talk) 16:28, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Richie Blue Musician (04:58, 2 January 2026)

How do I create a Wikipedia biography --Richie Blue Musician (talk) 04:58, 2 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Richie Blue Musician the process is outlined at Wikipedia:Articles for creation. If you mean a biography of yourself as many new users seem to want to do nowadays, are you actually notable on wikipedia standards? Is theres ignificant coverage in reliable sources?
