Hello, I just want to add some missing info and a band I was in BC. How do I go about submitted info? Thanks, Brian --Bkonechny (talk) 05:42, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bkonechny Do you have a reliable source that supports the changes you want made? Like, a news article of some kind? CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 04:05, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Yes, Have newspaper ads, promo posters etc. The band is on a list but all of the bands have a click link but Teaser does not. I was the band leader and thought it would be cool to add it. Now I just have to remember where I saw a list of bands from Vancouver BC. Getting old! BK Bkonechny (talk) 17:01, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bkonechny so the band doesn't currently have an article? If not, it might be difficult to get them a page unless it received more than just passing news coverage. Like, full length articles discussing the band, not just mentions or ads. What's the list that you're referring to? Could you link it? CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 20:58, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

List of bands from British Columbia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bands_from_British_Columbia

If you scroll down to Vancouver, you will find my band name Teaser but no info linked to it.

It's the only band with no additional info. lol

Also, my drummer has a little info on his site that we could link to

https://johncodyonline.com/music/teaser/

Let me know what you think is the best way.

BK 64.234.113.36 (talk) 23:08, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bkonechny your drummer's own site can't be used as a source to establish notability. We don't write about everything, only those things which have received sufficient coverage in reliable, independent sources. Can you link me three newspaper articles that talk about your band at length? It's okay if they're from the 80s. This can get tricky because you might need to use a site like Newspapers.com.

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

I want to post my first article --Awan (talk) 00:23, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Santino Anei Malong What are you looking to write about? CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 03:42, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Cap'n. Pinging me in this post would have been a courtesy, and might also have had the benefit of pointing people interested in your post to mine, which made a specific point or two which yours did not. Or did you actually write it before noticing mine? Bishonen | tålk 19:06, 29 October 2024 (UTC).[reply]

@Bishonen ya know, I was just thinking "hmmm maybe I should have pinged Bish in my reply." I'll put a little pointer there :) CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 19:19, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello do i make money off editing on wikipedia? --LIONCUBSIMBA (talk) 14:25, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@LIONCUBSIMBA you don't. Editors, like myself, at every level, are unpaid volunteers. We edit because we love what we do, and care about sharing knowledge. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 17:48, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
