I'm a Journalist and I meet very fascinating and important people, but they don't have their profiles in this site, and I decide to start this mission to give them the surprise to be in here. |

:Hello Rosy, and welcome to Wikipedia! It’s great to have a new writer joining and contributing, though I’d note that journalists sometimes find it tricky to adapt to the Wikipedia style of writing. In particular, everything in an article should be [[WP|verifiable]] in a published source— not based on your own independent research or interviews. Writing an article about someone you’ve met typically means forgetting everything you know about them and doing research to summarize what others have written about them. If they’re friends rather than news subjects, you should also read Wikipedia’s policies about [[WP:COI|conflicts of interest]]. If you do want to try writing articles, I suggest starting with the advice at [[WP:BACKWARDS]] and [[WP:YFA]]. Let me know if you have any questions, and happy editing!
