Adding to an existing article
A friend of mine's daughter has just released a single and it is a cover of a song and would like to include it in the history of that specific song as it is a pop classic. What am I allowed to include and not include. Just trying to help her daughter with her contribution to the world of music. What do I need to include to ensure it is verifiable. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=I_Think_We%27re_Alone_Now&action=edit — Preceding unsigned comment added by RichFtl (talk • contribs) 05:15, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- You need, at minimum two things 1) A Consensus among other Wikipedia editors that the recording is significant enough to bear mentioning. It is most important to note that the baseline for Wikipedia is NOT that something exists, but that there is in-depth, reliable writing about it elsewhere, so we know that the world at large finds it significant enough to have written material about it. --Jayron32 12:03, 20 September 2018 (UTC)]

- What was there about wikilink to specific help on your error? We have kept on asking you, if you don't understand English what language should we use when talking to you? --David Biddulph (talk) 08:00, 20 September 2018 (UTC)]
- Srbernadette, once again, as has been told to you innumerable times, when you deliberately create an error in any article, as you did with this edit this time, and if you cannot read the simple English notification given in the error message, then please undo your edits before approaching the Help desk. Otherwise, this is simply continuing with your disruptive behaviour. Lourdes 08:11, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

- Please do not use ALL CAPS. We regard it as unfriendly shouting. Are you referring to Artificial Limbs Manufacturing Corporation of India? Wikipedia articles do not have assigned "arbitrators". Article content is created by consensus. If you have an issue with the content of a article, discuss it on the article's talk page to help us improve the content. -Arch dude (talk) 16:44, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- That'd be tricky now, as I've deleted the article because it was a straight word-for-word copy of a copyrighted website - and it's been like that for at least 3 years. It was of course, for the same reason, unsourced as well. Black Kite (talk) 17:01, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
My browser (Chrome) warns me not to visit ref 5 and 6 in this article, something called hopecorner dot net. Not sure what the drill is. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 20:28, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
