Make an entry for a person

From Wikipedia Rejects

Jump to: navigation, search

Do you want to make a page for yourself, someone you know, or just someone that deserves to be in here?

[edit] Getting Started

First you need to get to the page, which means you can search on it and click "create this page" or you can go to http://www.wikipediarejects.com/Your_Name and just start editing. Works like a charm.

Now, I'll bet you also want to have some nice formatting. That is pretty easy too. Ok, it's not easy and it's pretty dumb, but I'm going to show you how to do it so you can just copy and paste.

Copy the stuff below and put your information in at the top of your file. After that you should add your biography and anything else we should know. Ok, copy this business:

{{Infobox Person
| name        = Ted Roden
| other_names = Edward Roden
| image       = 
| caption     = 
| birth_date  = {{birth date and age|1980|01|19}}
| birth_place = 
| residence   = New York, NY
| known_for   = 
| employer    = [[Connected Ventures]]
| occupation  = 
| spouse      = 
| children    = 
| parents     = 
| relatives   = 
| website     = http://tedroden.com
| footnotes   = 
}}

[edit] Inserting a Picture

Ok, this part is annoying. On the left, there should be a link called "Upload File." First you'll need to click on that, and upload the image. Find yourself a smallish image, upload it via that form and make a note of what the file is named, it should be something like "My Image.jpg."

Then come back to the person entry and start editing. Next to "image" on the Infobox thing (above), add [[Image:My Image.jpg]]. Save and you're done.
