Wikipedia Article Wizard
Referencing and notability
Your article will be declined if the topic is not notable, violates copyright, or is not referenced properly.
Notability
The topic of an article must already be covered in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. These include academic journals, books, newspapers, magazines, and well established websites with a reputation for fact checking. Social media, crowd sourced websites, press releases, database entries, video uploads, or corporate/professional profiles do not qualify.
Copyright and originality
Do not copy-paste or closely paraphrase material from sources or AI language models. Rather, summarize what reliable sources say in your own words.
Referencing
  • Reliable, independent sources (see above) are preferred over non-independent sources.
  • Non-independent sources (like company websites or press releases) can be used to verify basic facts only.
  • Blogs, social media, and tabloid journalism are generally not acceptable.
To create a reference, use <ref></ref> as follows
Bizco was founded in 1942.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/bizco</ref>
More details on how to cite different types of materials can be found at our introduction to referencing guide.
