I want to create a wikipedia page for a songwriter. I have read a bunch of the instruction pages, but I'm still not sure how exactly to get started...can anyone give me some step by step instructions, and walk me through the process. It would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Jkathleen88. If you want to create a new article, you can go to the Article Wizard, which guides you in making a new article. For your first article, I suggest using the Article Wizard, because, in my opinion it is very simple to use for any member. Also, many new articles are deleted because they don't meet Wikipedia's guidelines for notability. I also suggest reading WP:BIO, WP:IRS, WP:NPOV, and WP:BLP. I hope I answered your question. If you need more help, feel free to ask. -- Luke (Talk) 22:14, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have been reading through the tutorial on how to do my first article, and it says I can create a subpage..where I can work on my article over time before I make it live, and so other people can maybe help me on it to make sure I do it all correctly...How do I do a subpage? I am not good with technology..so any help would be greatly appeciated!! Thank you!

Hello. You can create a subpage by placing a wikilink on your userpage. This link should contain your username, followed by a slash / and the name you want to give this subpage. For example, placing [[User:Jkathleen88/Subpage]] on your userpage User:Jkathleen88 will create a redlink called User:Jkathleen88/Subpage. If you click on the link, enter something into the edit window and then click safe, you have created a subpage in your userspace called "Subpage". For more information, see also Wikipedia:Subpages. If you need further help with that, feel free to ask again. You can also ask me directly on my talk page if you like. Toshio Yamaguchi (talk) 16:08, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Jkathleen, I replied to your question on my own talk page at User talk:Toshio Yamaguchi#New Article. Best. Toshio Yamaguchi (talk) 01:31, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

Hi Jkathleen. Do you want to add a picture to User:Jkathleen88/Subpage and do you already have a picture of Shane Stevens? If so, this picture would need to be uploaded first (see Help:Files). But there are some things I need to know. Where did you get the picture from? If it is from a website or is it a picture you took yourself? Please reply here on your talk page, as it is good to keep conversations in one place and it is easier for you, as you get the 'New message' banner when I reply to you.
