@HeartGlow30797: I feel highly stupid. You sent me two mails that there should be a message on my talk page, but all I can find is that you added 'Allready helped' under the reaction on my first question. Is this another sign of my not-understanding? Many thanks, FredHS1939 (talk) 14:25, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

Since the previous answer did not quite answer my question and the situation has changed a little bit since then, I reformulate my problem. I often use wikipedia and I am very happy with it, but now that I want to add an article myself, I encounter a lot that I do not understand at all or at most half.
The point is that when I google (wikipedia jacques rensburg) for my article on the musician Jacques Rensburg, I get some hits, but not the hit I am looking for, at least not in the form I hoped for.
The first hit shows:
Jacques Rensburg (field hockey) - Wikipedia [Zoek op domein en.wikipedia.org] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Rensburg_(field_hockey). Jacques Rensburg (born 8 June 1903, date of death unknown) was a Belgian field hockey player. He competed in the men's tournament at the 1936 Summer Olympics. References This page was last edited on 1 May 2021, at 08:26 (UTC). ...
That is very fine. I can see that it is not the article I am looking for, and when I click on this hit, I see the article on the field hockey player, and a tab for the talk page of that article.
This is the second hit:
Jacques Rensburg - Wikipedia [Zoek op domein en.wikipedia.org] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Rensburg Jacques Rensburg may refer to: . Jacques Rensburg (musician), Dutch / German musician Jacques Rensburg (field hockey), Belgian athlete, his grandson Jacques Janse van Rensburg, South African cyclist; JC Janse van Rensburg, South African rugby player
That is fine too. I see that there is more than one Jacques Rensburg on wikipedia, and clicking on it allows me to go to my article.
The third one:
Talk:Jacques Rensburg (musician) - Wikipedia [Zoek op domein en.wikipedia.org] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jacques_Rensburg_(musician) Talk:Jacques Rensburg (musician) ... This article is within the scope of WikiProject Biography, a collaborative effort to create, develop and organize Wikipedia's articles about people. All interested editors are invited to join the project and contribute to the discussion.
This is strange (for me). Observe the phrase Talk in the head. The text shown here is not the information of my article. Clicking brings me to a Talk-page unknown to me, but under the tab Article I indeed find my article.
The fourth one:
Talk:Jacques Rensburg - Wikipedia [Zoek op domein en.wikipedia.org] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jacques_Rensburg Jacques Rensburg is within the scope of WikiProject Olympics.For more information, visit the project page, where you can join the project and/or contribute to the discussion. Stub This article has been rated as Stub-Class on the project's quality scale. Low This article has been rated as Low-importance on the project's importance scale.
This is similar to the previous one, but now for the field hockey player.
I hoped for a hit that, when clicked, would lead me directly to my article, like the first hit for the field hockey player. Why does such a hit not turn up? I can imagine that it has to do something to do with the current status of my article. But if so, then what should I do?
Many thanks in advance,

I did my best to add inline citations for my proposal, but am very unsure if I did it in the correct/intended way. Are my additions improvements? Or should I have done something else?
I am completely new to writing for wikipedia, so there is a lot I do not quite or not at all understand. I am happy to see that the article is accepted so far. When I do a google search on wikipedia for 'Jacques Rensburg' I indeed find my article, but in a (this?) talk page, not as a 'normal' article. Is that as intended?
Many thanks for your assistence,--FredHS1939 (talk) 14:06, 30 April 2021 (UTC)

Jacques Rensburg (musician)
editGreetings from the Dutch. In your article Jacques Rensburg (musician) (born 1846) you mention that Fritz Giese was his tutor. However Fritz was born in 1859, so that can't be right. Geïllustreerd Muzieklexicon from 1939 mentions Joseph Gieze, being father of Fritz, as his tutor, Ceescamel (talk) 11:47, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
