Question from MondaDR on User:MondaDR/sandbox (17:43, 10 July 2024)

[edit]

Hello, I came across a studio photograph of my grandfather and the actor, Arthur Elton. It was taken in 1913 in Seattle. My grandfather was an usher at a theater and sat for a portrait with Mr. Elton. Because there is little written about Mr. Elton, I wonder if it would be useful to include this photograph and the information inscribed on the back. Do you think this is relevant or pertinent to expand Mr. Elton’s biography? Thank you, Dan --MondaDR (talk) 17:43, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MondaDR Good day and thank you for the question. First of all, there is no article about Arthur Elton (actor) in English Wikipedia. Secondly, you need to be the copyright holder (the one who took the photo) in order to upload it to Wikipedia and I guess you are not the one who took the photo since it is dated 1913. Thank you.

I saw on your user page that you also teach new page patrolling. I am already in your Counter-Vandalism class and I would like to learn how to patrol new pages too. I have done a cruder version of it a few time, so I pretty much know what to expect. Thanks, Apollogetticax|talk 22:52, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I want to know how I can create a Wikipedia page for my company. It's a well-known one and has been mentioned through public media several times on a global scale. --Ahbab Hazem (talk) 10:50, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
