ARTICLE SUGGESTIONS
Know a person, company, organization, product, place, technology, event, or other subject that WikiPartner should consider documenting?
Send us a short suggestion with enough reliable information for editors to understand the subject and decide whether it may be suitable for an encyclopedia article.
Free to suggestEditorially reviewedNo publication guarantee
Before you suggest
01
Check WikiPartner first
Search for the subject before submitting. If an article already exists, improve or correct the existing page instead of sending a duplicate suggestion.
02
Find useful sources
Most suggestions should include at least two useful sources that help editors confirm who or what the subject is and why it is worth documenting.
03
Keep it factual
Describe the subject clearly and neutrally. Do not submit advertising copy, exaggerated claims, false information, or unsupported achievements.
What to include
1
Subject name
Provide the correct and commonly used name of the person, business, organization, product, place, or other subject.
2
Why it should be covered
Give a short factual explanation of what makes the subject useful or relevant for readers.
3
Reliable sources
Include useful links such as news coverage, industry publications, official records, interviews, books, professional sources, or other material that editors can check.
4
Important facts
Share key information that helps editors understand the subject, such as career, history, work, products, achievements, locations, or public activity.
5
Your connection to the subject
Tell us if you are the subject, work for the subject, represent them, or have another direct connection.
Ready to suggest a subject?
Send the basic information and sources. You do not need to write a complete encyclopedia article.
What happens after submission?
01
Editorial review
Editors review the subject name, information provided, sources, and any disclosed connection to the subject.
02
Source check
Editors may review the submitted sources, look for additional information, and check whether the subject meets WikiPartner's inclusion guidelines and source guidelines.
03
Editorial decision
A suggestion may be accepted, declined, held for more research, or used to improve an existing article.
Accepted
Suitable for further article work.
Needs research
More reliable information may be required.
Declined
The suggestion does not currently meet the requirements.
Important: A suggestion is not an encyclopedia article and does not automatically create or guarantee a WikiPartner page. Suggesting, reviewing, or publishing an article does not require payment.
