Editing Eurovision Wiki:Teahouse (section)

== Can someone help update an institutional article? ==

Hello, we are from the Cebu school administration. We would like to add a new entry for our school. Our school only opened to the public in 2021. [[User:LC2026Ma|LC2026Ma]] ([[User talk:LC2026Ma|talk]]) 06:23, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

:Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. If you want to add an entry to your school, you should refer to our "[[WP:42|golden rule]]" regarding [[WP: Notability|notability]], [[WP:SIGCOV|significant coverage]], and [[WP: Independent sources|independent sources]]. Once you're confident enough, you can [[Help:Your first article|view our guide on writing your first Wikipedia article]]. Cheers!

:Hello, @[[User:LC2026Ma|LC2026Ma]], and welcome to the Teahouse.
:Please note that most schools do not meet Wikipedia's criteria for [[WP:NSCHOOL|notability]] - I advise you to not write so much as a single word about your school before you have found the required [[WP:42|independent reliable sources]] - particularly for a new school, it is likely that these sources do not exist. (Note in particular that any newspaper coverage of the new school is likely to be based on press releases, and so not independent). 
:My earnest advice to new editors is to not even ''think'' about  trying to create an article until you have spent several weeks - at least - learning about how Wikipedia works by making improvements to existing articles. Once you have understood core policies such as [[WP:verifiability|verifiability]], [[WP:neutral point of view|neutral point of view]], [[WP:42|reliable, independent sources]], and [[WP:notability|notability]], and experienced how we handle disagreements with other editors (the [[WP:BRD|Bold, Revert, Discuss]] cycle), then you might be ready to read [[WP:your first article|your first article]] carefully, and try creating a draft. If you don't follow this advice but try to create an article without this preparation, you are likely to have a frustrating and disappointing experience with Wikipedia. And that is even without the editor having a [[WP:conflict of interest|conflict of interest]] (which it sounds as if you may have).
