| How to request an article |
|
1. First, check that the article you're looking for doesn't already exist:
2. Next, be sure the article is suitable for inclusion in Bharatpedia. Articles must be about notable topics: those that have received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. We have a fairly precise definition of what is considered a "reliable source", as well as detailed inclusion guidelines. 3. Next, search the existing article requests to make sure your subject is not already listed: 4. Now choose an appropriate general topic area below, choose the best sub-topic that fits your subject, and use that link to go to its page. Add your request there by clicking "edit" at the appropriate heading. Give a brief description, with links if possible, for the proposed topic, to aid others in understanding your request. |
