If leaving a message on the talk page does not help, you can [[Special:NewSection/Wikipedia:Help desk|leave a message at the help desk]], which is more frequently monitored. |

Alternatively, you can reach other experienced volunteers by emailing <samp>{{nospam|info-en-q|wikimedia.org}}</samp> . Please include the address or title of your article and specific information on the problems you have with it. While your email will likely remain confidential, certain unforeseen circumstances, including but not limited to security breaches, subpoenas, or leaks, might compromise that confidentiality. Note that while volunteers may assist you in removing very bad data, they will not add new data for you - for such edits you need to use the talk page as described above. |

If you're interested in donating photographs to illustrate your article or adding a [[WP:WikiVIP|recording of your voice]], you can [[commons:Commons:Upload |upload them yourself]] and include them in the article. Alternatively, you can email '''<samp>{{nospam|photosubmission|wikimedia.org}}</samp>''' . Please include the photograph in question, along with a statement that you own the copyright on it, and an agreement to release it under a free license. Our recommended license is the [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 license]. If you don't own the copyright, please ask the photographer or copyright owner to send in a release instead.

Wikipedia articles are maintained by volunteer editors; there is no centralised review system. Editors interested in your article can be reached by leaving a note on the article's "talk" page. This can be found by clicking the "talk" link at the top of your article. Once you're there, click the "new section" tab to the right of that. This will create a new section, where you can post your specific comments or concerns - put {{request edit}} at the top of your new section, then explain what you'd like to see changed in the article. Finally, click "Publish changes". Check back periodically for responses, but be patient.
