Can I build up an article over a longer time period ? I want to add more information and corresponding references as I learn the ways around here.
- Yes, however you do need to put enough in the initial stub to show that the article is a worthwhile subject, and be prepared to demonstrate that it is important/notable. The article should have this information contained within itself.
- Example of a notable article could be "Company X is ranked 5th in the fortune 500. ..."
- Example of an iffy article is "Company X is opening on Jan 2008, come to our grand opening! (details follow) ...".
- As long as the subject you write about can be demonstrated to be important/notable, the article is just considered a stub. —— nixeagle 12:09, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
- Additional info can be found by checking out the various notability guidelines. I think a good place to start is WP:5P, which is the 5 pillars of wikipedia. Be sure what you put in is verifiable with external reliable sources. —— nixeagle 12:10, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
I read somewhere that television news is considered as 'reliable source', how is it verified ? I mean I see it on local tv news and newspapers but does it have to be published on the web too ? Danishctc (talk) 12:32, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
