Re: [Wikimedia-l] to publish an article in Wikimedia

Hi, Shmuel! As Wikipedia is a collaborative encyclopedia written by its readers, the subjects for our articles are generally chosen by the editing community rather than by request. There is a venue where you can request articles at <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:REQ>, or if you wish to write your own, you can follow the Article Wizard at <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WIZ> Please note that Wikipedia is not a business or web directory. For more information, see <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:NOTDIR> and our notability requirements at <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:CORP>, <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:WEB> or <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:MUSIC>. You should also be aware that the Wikipedia community strongly discourages articles written by individuals close to a subject because of the difficulty in writing objectively about your organization, yourself, your family, or your work, in line with Wikipedia's conflict of interest <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:COI> and autobiography <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:AUTO> rules. If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask at our teahouse: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions> Matthew Bowker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Matthewrbowker On Mar 6, 2013, at 8:55 AM, Shmuel Shraga &lt;sshraga(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote:
