{{helpme}} What do you need help with? Veinor ^{(talk to me)} 20:53, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I'm a newcomer and didn't know this page was here until 15 mins after I sent the message. I ended up sending it to the Talk Page (I think that is what it is called.) the message is as follows:

I've been looking for quite a while and can't find a way to upload a physics topic I have written an article on for Wikipedia. The original article is in Word, but I have also exported it to HTML. When I tried your quick and dirty converter (cutting HTML and pasting) into Wiki-whatever, all the equations got lost. I can also export the Word file into LaTeX, if necessary.

There are 21 main equations, plus lots of equation-like symbols throughout the text. Re-writing all this in your text box with the suggested math symbology would be a very time consuming effort I'm not into.

Is there any way to simply upload what I've already done?

I want to augment a stub that is only 3 paragraphs or so to 3-4 pages of completeness on the topic.

Finally, I'm not sure about this Help Desk thing, and hope I can find it. I was told to go to my talk page and input the need help text (which I did), to get someone who would chat with me right there. Well, when Idid that I then got a message that said input your question below, but there was no text box in which to input the question! I clicked on another link and ended up here. Not so user friendly for a newcomer.

Thanks for any help.

I would post that question at the Help Desk (click here). I don't know for sure, but I believe you will have to use Wikipedias tool to add a mathematical equation to a page. See WP:MATH for info about that. Good Luck! - Rjd0060 21:48, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Bob108. We welcome your contributions, but it appears as if your primary purpose on Wikipedia is to add citations to sources you may be affiliated with.

Editing in this way is a violation of the policy against using Wikipedia for promotion and is a form of conflict of interest. The editing community considers excessive self-citing to be a form of spamming on Wikipedia (WP:REFSPAM); the edits will be reviewed and the citations removed where it was not appropriate to add them.

If you wish to continue contributing, please first consider citing other reliable secondary sources such as review articles that were written by other researchers in your field and that are already highly cited in the literature. If you wish to cite sources for which you may have a conflict of interest, please start a new section on the article's talk page and add {{Edit COI}} to ask a volunteer to review whether or not the citation should be added.
