The best articles on Wikipedia are worked on by multiple editors. It is to the benefit of yourself and all others if others are able to find and work on the articles you create. When you create a new page, it is very likely it'll go unnoticed at first. Wikipedia has millions of articles, and any given article may be a needle in a haystack, particularly if it refers to a topic that is not known to many. Since a good article usually has not been worked on solely by one person, but is a collaboration of many editors giving it their very best, it is in your best interest that you try to enable others to be aware of the new article's existence.

Why should the article I created get noticed?

There are a number of good reasons why you would want a new article you create to get noticed by others. These include:

  1. Sharing your knowledge: The new article you create has some useful information, and you want others around the world to learn what you know.
  2. Cleanup: No one is perfect, and all of us make errors from time to time in typing, spelling, grammar, and other aspects of writing style. Even the best editors and proofreaders may let a few mistakes slip through the cracks. The quality of an article improves in direct proportion to the number of people who read it.
  3. Improvement by others: You may have created a short article, even a stub, on a topic that you know little about, and would like to know more. By bringing the article into existence, you open the door for others with greater expertise in the topic to add their knowledge, making it more useful for all readers.

There are some other reasons why you may feel motivated to get the page you created noticed, but even so, these are not always the best:

  1. Showing off your work: Your writing on Wikipedia may feel like your crown jewel that you want others to see, and you may pride yourself in showing off your writing skills, your hard work, and knowledge. You may see it as something you can share with other Wikipedians, your family, your friends, someone you want to date, your employer, or an elected official. Your contributions are very much appreciated, and anything you do to better Wikipedia will improve your standing. But no matter what you write, you do not "own" your work. The page you create does not belong to you, and you have no more power over it than any other Wikipedian. You are merely the one who had the idea for it, who decided to start it. But this does not make you any greater than anyone else who has made useful contributions toward the page. The very best contributions come from idealistic editors whose goal is to improve the encyclopedia rather than the promotion of themselves.
  2. Promoting your interests: Obviously, if you created a page, you must have some interest in its topic. Most likely, the topic is perfectly legitimate in an encyclopedia. But keep in mind, it must be written from a neutral point of view and not advocate for a cause. Also, Wikipedia is not an advertising space, and any blatant spam will be speedily deleted upon discovery.

How do I get others to notice the page I just created?

Here are some tips to enable an article to get noticed:

  1. Place it in some categories: Attempt to determine at least several categories where the page may fit. First, identify one or more parent categories. Then, see if the parent categories contain any subcategories that are more appropriate. Only assign the article to the parent category if there are no subcategories that are more appropriate for the page. Or you may wish to create a new subcategory if you find many other articles exist that may fit into one. This will make the article visible to those viewing the same category. (see WikiProject Categories)
  2. Provide internal links to the article from other pages: Attempt to identify other articles that contain the title of the new article referring to that exact topic, or some description in other words referring to the same topic. On those other pages, change the plain text to a link to the new article. If the new article was split from another, larger article, or if another article has a section summarizing the content of your article, you may want to add the template {{main}} at the beginning of the section containing the summary. Otherwise, you can find relevant articles by entering the article's title in quotes into a search query (not all results will be worth linking, and in some, the term may have a different meaning), looking at other articles in common categories, or just using common sense. If you cannot find any other places to link, you can add the article's name to a "see also" list in one or more articles on a related topic. (see WikiProject Orphanage)
  3. Provide links within the new article: Internally link words or terms on the page itself to other Wikipedia articles. This way, anyone clicking on "What links here" from that page will learn about the new article. Remember, link only in moderation; do not link unnecessary terms, even if they will link to another article. (see WikiProject Wikify)
  4. Add article to a navbox: Many templates called "navboxes" exist that list all or many of the articles within a particular topic, and are displayed on all pages they list. You may be able to identify a navbox where the new article will fit, and add it to the listings in the navbox. This will instantly link a large number of pages to the new article, since navboxes often contain dozens of articles. You will also want to add that navbox to the newly created page. If no such navbox exists, and you can identify a series of articles that can fit together in one, you may create a new navbox, but before doing so, you should familiarize yourself with how articles can be presented together in one. (see Help:Template)
  5. Inform others: As you edit, you may get to "know" other editors who have made major contributions to one or more of the same articles you have (though you may not know their actual identities). If you become aware of someone who you think may have an interest in helping to build the new page, you may send them a friendly message informing them you have just created a new article to their interest. Of course, it is up to each individual if they want to help. (see Wikipedians)
  6. Nominate the article for WP:DYK: New articles which meet the criteria can have an interesting fact from it displayed on the Main Page
  7. Flag for review: If no-one else has given any substantive input yet, add {{new unreviewed article}} at the top of the page.
  8. WikiProjects: Tag the talkpage with the templates of appropriate WikiProjects.

In addition, you may be able to get the following help without doing anything:

  1. New page patrol: All newly created pages get checked by a new page patroller within minutes of their initial creation. The new page patroller may or may not be interested in making any further improvements.
  2. Red links: Some pages may already contain existing red links to the title. Click on "What links here." You should make sure that the same term in those articles has the meaning intended by your creation, or else you should change or remove those links.
  3. Search engines: Soon after a page is created, it is very likely it'll appear on many search engines, including Google, so when the term is entered into a search query, it'll appear in the results, often as one of the first, sometimes the first hit. Anyone using a search engine to look up information on the topic, or sometimes an unrelated topic with some of the same words, will find a weblink to the page.

Remember:

  1. Use good judgment: Make intelligent decisions on what to link, and don't overdo it!
  2. Be patient! With all that you do, it may take a long time before the article is found by those who can improve it.

GRAVITATIONAL FORCE OR EARTH FIELD

Definition: Force is that power from which we can take some task. The rotating field of earth is called Gravitational Force or earth field. The earth field is moving in every time in a particular route. If we provide one bit of energy to a body then gravitational force aggrandizes the energy up to eight bits. On subtraction of one bit from eight bits, seven bits energy will be obtained which is pure energy and it can be used for any purpose.

EXPLANATION: Gravitational force is that energy, which exists due to revolving of the earth when earth rotates, there will be created magnetic field or earth field around the earth and its direction becomes from north to south and upward to downward because the magnetic field or earth field is due to rotation of earth, so, it is also energy. This energy is invisible and our eyes cannot see it nor we can feel it. Automatic watches i.e. Seiko 5, bicycles, pendulum are examples of this energy. If the iron is magnetized, the direction of bits of iron will be ever shown from north to south and it is due to magnetic field of earth. Let’s see the effects of earth field upon our life as follows:

1. Did you think that why do the people of China, Japan etc have small height than European people? The difference of small and tall height in the people of China & Japan and people of European are due to this gravitational force or earth field; that is why! In case of Chinese people, the waves of earth field pulls the blood towards the earth from head to foot because the pressure of blood circulation turns from head to foot and earth pulls them in it and due to this reason, the height of these people does not grow up. It is entrance earth field and in case of European people, it effects oppositely that earth field pressurizes the blood circulation of the body from foot to head and earth ejects out the waves of earth field, it is exit earth field and due to this reason, European people have long height. If we see global map, Chinese people come on upper part of the earth while European people goes below part of the earth. It appears that waves of the earth field rotate from upward to downward.

2. If we are traveling through vehicle whether car, van, bus train etc, earth field will sharply collide to our body and if we sit having active position then we shall feel exhaust because we have used our energy against the earth field and our body’s energy will resist the earth field (lines of force) resultantly we will exhaust due to consuming of our energy against earth field (lines of force). Conversely, if we left our body loose and we don’t consume our energy, we will not tire up than earlier position, because, we have deactivated our body and our body will not resist the waves of earth field and our body’s energy will remain safe. 3. The energy of body of a patient becomes lowest than the resistance of earth field and patient cannot stand or walk due to deficiency of his body’s energy and earth field being much more in power do not allow the patient to stand or move. If the same patient is sent into the space then the patient can move his body because earth field becomes zero percent in the space and it cannot effect on the body.

4. The earth consists of 71% part of water and 29% part of land containing major parts of soil, stone etc and there is 10% part of raw material of oil out of 29%. This raw oil is in the form of mud containing petroleum jelly, petrol, diesel, kerosene oil, sulfur etc which is running in the earth in a special system, indeed, there is no doubt, the rotation of the earth is due to this raw oil and as just as the blood circulates in the human body just like this raw oil is also circulating in the earth in a natural veins system of earth. So, it can be called as “Black Blood” and we are drawing it in a huge scales with very proud.

5. You can guess that 10% part of raw oil out of 29% part of earth how many periods we can consume it. As fast as we are drawing it just as the life of earth is being ended and may be finished within half century, or less period, so, the resurrection is very near. We are cutting the bough of that tree on which we are sitting. If we want to save the life of earth, we should stop to draw out the black blood of earth and use the substitute sources of energy like solar energy, water dam, wind or this new invented gravitational force or earth field which is so safe and easily available in every where on the earth. Gravitational force or Earth field is treasure of energy and easily accessible to every country and there is no need of raw material because earth field is also raw material itself.
