Answers/Content

Template:Help intro frame top Template:Answers tabs |style="padding: 2em;" | The Wikimedia Foundation does not create or curate the contents on Wikipedia or the other educational sites we manage; instead, this work is done by a vast community of volunteers. Wikipedia is a collaborative encyclopedia (as explained at Wikipedia:Introduction). Our other projects are collaborative as well. Content is not created, reviewed or controlled by a central authority, but rather by anyone from the public who is interested in joining in to spread knowledge.

There is information in the sections below on how to report a problem with content, request new content, add new content, or find out more information.

If you cannot find your answer here, please check the "Help" link on the left hand side of the specific project you have questions about. If doing this does not answer your question, you may wish to write to the email response team at infowikimedia.org

Disclaimer: Emails to infowikimedia.org are reviewed and responded to by volunteers from our user community. Please understand that the Foundation cannot guarantee confidential treatment of any sensitive information you include in your message.

Since content is not created, reviewed, or controlled by a central authority, but by members of the public volunteering to help out, we are not able to offer more information about the subjects on our sites via email. As an organization that relies almost entirely on the good will of volunteers, we do not have the resources to research such material. However, you may be able to get additional information on the site itself. Many languages of Wikipedia host a "reference desk" - an online resource where various volunteers do try to answer knowledge-based questions. The English Wikipedia's, for instance, is located at Wikipedia:Reference desk. You can find a long list of reference desks in other languages in the bottom of the toolbar on the left side of the page. Though there is no guarantee that they can provide an answer, they are often able. Please be specific in your question so that others can better assist you. Anything you post to the Reference Desk will become public. Therefore, we do not recommend that you post personal information such as email addresses or phone numbers. Generally, once you post your question you can check back on the webpage in a day or so to see if volunteers have been able to answer you.
