Wikipedia:Contact us/Article problem/No article
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Problem
There's no article on a specific topic.
Are you sure?
There are over a million articles in the English language Wikipedia, on all sorts of topics. Wikipedia's search facility isn't as good as some. Before spending the time to write a new article you might try searching with another search engine. Hint: try searching with "site:en.wikipedia.org" added to your search query.
Note
We do not have staff for writing articles by requests. Some people write to our contact addresses and ask why we have no article on a certain topic, and allege discrimination : the reason is that no user has bothered to write one.
Please do not send requests for new articles, documentation or articles to our contact addresses; they cannot process these.
Solution
