Wikipedia does not pay contributors for articles. It is a non-profit that depends on volunteer contributions.

People have become famous for much sillier and less impressive things, so while unlikely, it's certainly possible.

Yes. Many celebrities and famous people are listed on Wikipedia.

You can write anything about any topics, but make sure that it will be helpful to others and should contain decent and corrected information. Don't intend to hurt anyone or any community by your posts.

You can't write multiple languages in a single article, but you can contribute in multiple Wikipedias of different languages.

No. wikiHow is not affiliated with Wikipedia. However, creating a Wikipedia account is just as easy as creating one on wikiHow.

You can create a page for whatever you want, but it could be deleted by a bot on Wikipedia. Make sure you have sufficient information to fill the article.

You can request editors of Wikipedia to help create a page for your company, but you must provide reliable sources to prove that your company is notable and well-known.

You can, just find reliable sources. If you feel like you have a connection with the subject, then have someone else write an article on that subject.

You can ask an administrator for help. They should be more than willing to help you with creating a professional article.

You can find the Move option from the menu near the right-upper corner of the page (or the left-upper corner for Hebrew or Arabic).

Because you are either logged out or don't have an account, yet. You need an active account in order to write an article.

You can edit to add more clarification or add a paragraph that gives new information on a topic. Remember to cite your sources, though or your edits will be rolled back.

No, you should only sign talk pages on Wikipedia, which is the same as wikiHow. Since they're both wikis, more than one person will contribute to the articles. It isn't just the original author of the article who will add to it.

You don't need to write the title on the article. Once you know what you're writing about you should type it in to Wikipedia search and click 'create this article'. It will already have the title once you start writing it if you do that correctly.

An article can be published straight away, before review, but it will be deleted or put into the draft space if it isn't at the right quality, or doesn't cite enough sources. You can start your article in the draft space then request that it be reviewed if you'd rather.

Reviews generally take up to 5 months. The stronger an article is in terms of its sourcing, having enough words to cover the subject, and having the right tone, the greater the likelihood that it will be assessed faster. (In addition to being about a typical topic that already has others of its kind in Wikipedia - the first known Wikipedia article on a dress, for Kate Middleton's wedding dress, was nominated for deletion 16 minutes after it was first published!).
