How to Successfully Submit Your Article to Wikipedia

 One of the most popular websites in the world is Wikipedia. Every month, it receives about 18 billion views. Wikipedia is a powerful tool that should not be disregarded in an era where the majority of professionals are attempting to develop their personal brands on LinkedIn. A professional’s credibility is increased by having a personal profile on Wikipedia, and they also rank higher globally. Wikipedia frequently appears first on Google search results pages because it has a high search engine ranking. Furthermore, because they help establish a first impression, personal Wikipedia pages are highly sought after by professionals. Because they are expensive and time-consuming to produce, not everyone can have them. However, having them enhances your audience connection, credibility, and prospects for the future.

Go through community guidelines before creating a page

You must be a registered user in order to create a Wikipedia page. Unidentified intruders aren’t trusted by Wikipedia. Therefore, you wouldn’t establish credibility if you started making edits before registering. Before you consider starting your own page, you must be a user for at least 4 days and edit 10 other articles. Edit a sizable number of already published articles to establish credibility. Once you’ve gained some credibility, other editors will find it worthwhile to visit your page. If not, whatever you decide to write might not be read. To increase credibility, the page must contain numerous references and citations, including those from journal-based and other Wikipedia articles.

Things to avoid

• Articles about yourself, your family or friends, your website, a band you’re in, your teacher, a word you made up, or a story you wrote
• Advertising
• Attacks on a person or organization
• Personal essays or original research
• Non-notable topics
• A single sentence or only a website link (Articles need to have real content of their own.)
• Don’t add promotional language
• Don’t remove negative or critical text from an article
• Don’t make a “group” account for multiple people to share
• Don’t neglect to disclose your affiliation on the article’s talk page
