WikiProject Articles for creation


Welcome to WikiProject Articles for Creation! This is the project page for editors interested in working on Articles for creation, Redirects and Categories for creation and Files for upload.

Introduction[edit]

Currently, only autoconfirmed registered users are allowed to create articles on Bharatpedia. Often, an unregistered user would like to create an article but does not want to register in order to do so. We do not judge an editor who does not want to register, and AfC is a process by which their contributions can become Bharatpedia articles. AfC is also the only accepted way for an editor with a conflict of interest to write articles about subjects they are associated with, or paid to write.

AfC works as a peer review process, where autoconfirmed users either accept and create an article submitted by an anonymous editor or decline the article because it is unsuitable for Bharatpedia.

An article may be unsuitable for Bharatpedia for a number of reasons. AfC submissions can be declined based on having no content whatsoever, consisting of vandalism or personal attacks, consisting of copyrighted material, failing to provide sufficient context, not asserting notability, and most often for not being properly sourced. Articles that already exist, sometimes under another name, are also declined.

A lot of articles are posted at AfC and a dedicated team of editors is needed to review the requests.

Brief history[edit]

On 1 January 2021, in response to spam, unregistered users were stopped from creating new pages on the English Bharatpedia.

Consequently, the page Bharatpedia:Articles for creation was set up to allow unregistered users to submit articles for registered users to create on their behalf.
