Draft:AdLunamInc.

Hi KylieTastic. I used the article wizard to start this article and cited one source that I could find. Tried to get a few more in from what I found online. My intention is to document the existence of the company but the comment I got said it sounded promotional. So Im not sure how to proceed. I will make a few edits to improve it but im open to feedback. Its first attempt to work on a new page. Jervisap (talk) 09:02, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Jervisap, Wikipedia is not a place for all subjects that just exist, but for subjects that are deemed to be 'notable' by our guidelines - see Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) in this case. In general all new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage (WP:SIGCOV) in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). Many companies may never become notable, others will be in time as more is written about them. So if other sources do not currently exist it's time to just move onto something else.

Hi KylieTastic . Understood. Would pages like these qualify for a stub instead? Jervisap (talk) 10:56, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Jervisap, sorry no - notability is a fundamental requirement. Stubs are for notable subjects but for articles that just don't have much content yet. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 11:30, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Draft:Ecuador Women's National Under-17 Football Team

Hello KylieTastic,

How are you? I see that my submission for Draft:Ecuador Women's National Under-17 Football Team, was declined. I was wondering, is there a specific part in the article that needed reference or are there not enough references, or is something else wrong besides that, as I have provided a reliable reference.

Thank you,

God Bless,

Hi Loganmascarenhas, all new articles on Wikipedia have to show the subject is notable (See WP:N) which in most cases requires significant coverage (WP:SIGCOV) in multiple independent (WP:INDY) reliable sources (WP:RS). A rough guide is 3+ such sources are needed to show notability. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 15:06, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

I see, thank you for your help. I was wondering, however, can the sources be different web pages from the same website, (e.g. fifa.com/example1) and (e.g fifa.com/example2). Thank you for your help,

Loganmascarenhas Loganmascarenhas (talk) 21:11, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Hey Loganmascarenhas, yes many articles have multiple sources from the same site, especially if they are key to a subject like fifa.com or main news sites. However, for showing notability it would count less but can still be helpful. For instance if you had three separate sources that did not quite have enough depth to show notability adding more sources from the same sites would definitely help. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 21:18, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, I appretiate your help. Loganmascarenhas (talk) 21:25, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

@Drall0007 all content on Wikipedia need to be referenced with reliable sources. Draft:GULAB Phelwan has no sources at all. Regards KylieTastic (talk) 13:43, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Can you please delete my page, I want to get rid of it. Thanks,

Please Pilotnance (talk) 19:01, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

@Pilotnance I'm not an administrator so cannot delete a page. You can always just blank a page as that is good enough unless it contains a copyright violation and needs a full delete. KylieTastic (talk) 19:06, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

can you remove the request then please Pilotnance (talk) 19:07, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

@Pilotnance done. KylieTastic (talk) 19:07, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-16

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Problems

• Between 2 April and 8 April, on wikis using Flagged Revisions, the "Reverted" tag was not applied to undone edits. In addition, page moves, protections and imports were not autoreviewed. This problem is now fixed. [1][2]

Changes later this week

• The new version of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 16 April. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 17 April. It will be on all wikis from 18 April (calendar). [3][4]
• Default category sort keys will now affect categories added by templates placed in footnotes. Previously footnotes used the page title as the default sort key even if a different default sort key was specified (category-specific sort keys already worked). [5]
• A new variable page_last_edit_age will be added to abuse filters. It tells how many seconds ago the last edit to a page was made. [6]

Future changes

• Volunteer developers are kindly asked to update the code of their tools and features to handle temporary accounts. Learn more.
• Four database fields will be removed from database replicas (including Quarry). This affects only the abuse_filter and abuse_filter_history tables. Some queries might need to be updated. [7]
