Question from TUGUMISIRIZE PETER (22:05, 8 January 2025)

How do I upload photos to my article? --TUGUMISIRIZE PETER (talk) 22:05, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TUGUMISIRIZE PETER, good question. The answer is a bit complicated.

If you took the photo, or if it has been released under a free license, you can upload it to Wikimedia Commons, then add it to the article with wikitext like [[File:IMAGE NAME HERE.jpg|thumb]], or with the "+" button in the Visual Editor.
If the photo hasn't been released under a free license (like most photos you might find online), you'll need to check if it meets Wikipedia's non-free content criteria. If it does, you can upload it by going to Wikipedia:File upload wizard and clicking "Upload a non-free file", then following the instructions. Then you can edit the article to add it as described above.

You can find a lot more details at Wikipedia:Images. There are many different kinds of images and many ways to use them, with special rules and guidelines in some cases, so please let me know if you have any follow-up questions. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 04:10, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Happytail on User:Happytail/sandbox (15:32, 12 January 2025)

Hi How do I move text from sandbox into live wikipedia page --Happytail (talk) 15:32, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Happytail, thanks for the message. It looks like you figured it out, and Sandra Godley is now a live Wikipedia article. You can read more at Wikipedia:Moving a page, and let me know if you have any other questions. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 04:11, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! How long will it take for the page to show up on Google search engine? Happytail (talk) 15:10, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Happytail: Good question. I don't know how Google's algorithms work, but I've found that when I create new Wikipedia articles, they usually show up in the first page of Google results within a few weeks. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 23:35, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Lovelylittlellama (16:20, 12 January 2025)

Hi there Mx. Granger. HOW DO YOU HAVE ALMOST 70,000 EDITS --Lovelylittlellama (talk) 16:20, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lovelylittlellama, thanks for the message. I've been doing this for over a decade, usually multiple hours per week, and some of my edits are bigger than others. Starting a new article typically takes me several hours for research and writing, but many of my edits are small corrections (like fixing links and improving formatting) and some of those only take a few seconds each. Over time they add up. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 04:18, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question about updating our organisation page

Hello Mx Granger, I can see you were helping with some requested edits to the China Dialogue wikipedia page. I am the COO of Dialogue Earth, previously China Dialogue (we rebranded in April 2024), and we have struggled to understand how we can get our wikipedia page updated without doing it ourselves as it is very out of date and has had some problematic and not reliable sources of information added to it. Sorry to reach out out of the blue, but I'm really keen to have an accurate record of our organisation on wikipedia and you seem very experienced. Tullington (talk) 17:42, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message. I've made some edits to the article, and I've responded at Talk:China Dialogue. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 02:59, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much - I really appreciate it. I'll get together some other sources and share over there some additional bits which will hopefully help the credibility of the page! Tullington (talk) 15:25, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
