Hello! If you are being paid to contribute to Wikipedia, please ensure you comply with the requirements of WP:PAID and also that your Conflict of interest with anyone or anything you plan to write about is disclosed properly. If articles already exist and you are seeking to improve them, use Wikipedia:Edit requests. If articles do not currently exist and you want to create new articles, use the Wikipedia:Articles for creation process. Both of these methods will allow you to have your work reviewed by independent editors. Iffy★Chat -- 00:05, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello ;I hope I found you well,How do I add a link to my drafted article? --Africa's Greatests (talk) 07:19, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello! Per MOS:DRAFTNOLINK, You cannot add links to drafts in other articles until your draft is accepted by a reviewer.

Question from YakshPatel1501 (09:53, 20 January 2024)

Hello! I want to write an article on wikipedia but my english is not very good is it okay if I write articles with grammatical mistakes? --YakshPatel1501 (talk) 09:53, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Welcome! Many users on Wikipedia like you have English as a second, third, or fourth language and are very much welcome to contribute. While spelling and grammar mistakes are something to be avoided, other editors can fix these later, so don't let an imperfect knowledge of the English language discourage you from improving the encyclopedia.
