Hi all,
A friend of a friend contacted me about having a Wikipedia article created for a member of their immediate family. They have written the text already that could be used for consideration or a template. Since this would possible be a conflict of interest for the author, I am looking for advice on how to help this friend of a friend.
Does anyone have experience with Requested Articles tool for this scenario? Or other advice I can pass along?
Thank you so much for this assistance.
Regards,
Laura
