Some of the organisations you mention are already on wikipedia Children Affected by AIDS Foundation, Orphans International, Mount Kilimanjaro, HIV/AIDS.

This is how to add images to wikinews, same format applies to wikipedia adding images The images have to be uploaded to wikimedia commons first.

Wikinews, wikipedia use wiki coding a short cut of html coding which it looks like you are used to. To add a URL just look above at the link to wikimedia commons when you are in "edit this page", when you are on wikinews you can wikilink to wikipedia like the organisations above. The w: is only needed on wikinews, on wikipedia the links would be inherently direct. For wikipedia here is a tutorial, and a another welcome.

The challenge for this topic presented to wikipedia would be Wikipedia is not a soapbox. So it would be depend on how the article is written if it would be accepted. Look at some of the above articles mentioned which are already on wikipedia to get an idea of what is there for an encyclopadia. I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck on all your endeavours, and it is amazing that is seems like you have founded Orphans International!

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Jimluce. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jimluce~enwikinews that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:19, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
