Question from Btownhouse61 on Category:Sarasota High School alumni (02:46, 20 January 2024)

Hello my name is Barbara and I would like to add my mother Patricia Taylor to Sarasota High, how do I do this ? --Btownhouse61 (talk) 02:46, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Btownhouse61: Hi, as Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, subjects need to demonstrate their notability to merit inclusion, especially in cases where there may be tens of thousands of possible candidates. To demonstrate your mother's notability, you would need to show that there is significant coverage of her in reliable sources that are independent of her. In most alumni lists/categories like this one, subjects would also already have their own Wikipedia article. Hope this helps! Liu1126 (talk) 12:31, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dr. Mark Chae

Hi, I am quite new to adding material on wikipedia, and I believe I made some mistakes with a citation. Your help would be appreciated. Mark Dr. Mark Chae (talk) 12:59, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr. Mark Chae: Welcome to Wikipedia! Can you be a bit more specific about the issue? I would be glad to help. Liu1126 (talk) 22:17, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from DeeDotEssKay (07:01, 29 January 2024)

How do I add a picture to my grandfather's wiki page?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truman_Spain

My grandfather was a 1935 All American Football Player with Southern Methodist University. He was also on a Wheaties box. I have a picture of the Wheaties box and would like to add it to his page. --DeeDotEssKay (talk) 07:01, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DeeDotEssKay, welcome to Wikipedia! This would depend on the copyright status of the image on the Wheaties box. If it is not freely licensed (e.g. it's copyright is owned by Wheaties), then it should be uploaded at Wikipedia:Files for upload. If it is freely licensed, then it should be uploaded at Wikimedia Commons. Based on the date, my guess is that the image is in public domain by now, but I would advise you to ask more about this at the English Wikipedia's Teahouse or at the Commons Help Desk, since I'm not very familiar with copyright matters. Good luck! Liu1126 (talk) 11:07, 29 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from SimSimmer78 (12:29, 30 January 2024)

Hey! I'm pretty new to Wiki - I've done a bit of reading about Wiki and I created an account so I can start editing pages - I'm wondering what are some good beginner edits to make? --SimSimmer78 (talk) 12:29, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SimSimmer78, welcome to Wikipedia! The best way to get started would be to try doing the suggested edits on your newcomer homepage (it's the page from where you probably asked this question, and should be accessible by clicking your username at the top of the page). Otherwise, you may find interactive tutorials like Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure and Help:Introduction useful.

If you want some specific examples, I personally do a lot of work in countering vandalism, where I work to remove unconstructive edits from pages, although this is a task that generally requires a bit more experience with Wikipedia. I also do some copyediting, which is a good newcomer task if you're good at grammar.

Don't hesitate to ask any questions, and good luck! Liu1126 (talk) 12:47, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much! SimSimmer78 (talk) 16:01, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Adzontour123 (18:55, 30 January 2024)

false information is provided on Isaias Afewerki wikipedia page which is biased and contreversial, calling him a "dictator". please may this passage be removed --Adzontour123 (talk) 18:55, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Adzontour123, I would recommend you discuss these issues on the article's own talk page. Note that all statements in Wikipedia articles need to be verifiable through reliable sources and proportionally represent the viewpoints of all reliable sources. The passages which you believe to be false information appear to be very well referenced, so you would either need to argue that these current statements are actually not supported by the cited sources, provide alternative reliable sources to support your viewpoint, or argue that undue weight has been given to these events. Liu1126 (talk) 19:10, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Dr Jackson is not rweal (21:18, 31 January 2024)

Hello --Dr Jackson is not rweal (talk) 21:18, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Akhinesh777 (13:33, 2 February 2024)

Hello, i know how to upload picture to Wikimedia commons but don't know how to use CC licence here. I created a new article about OPPO A5 and i have the phone but I can't add to Wikimedia Commons because i don't know how to use CC Licence --Akhinesh777 (talk) 13:33, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Akhinesh777, I presume you're unsure about what CC license the image falls under (the Upload Wizard makes the process of actually adding the license tags, once determined, quite clear)? Unfortunately, I'm not an expert in copyright laws, so I can't help you here. I would advise you ask at the Commons help desk or the copyright village pump, as the editors there would be more familiar with such issues and help you choose the right license to upload the image under. Liu1126 (talk) 14:43, 2 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

January 2024 GOCE drive award

		The Minor Barnstar
		This barnstar is awarded to Liu1126 for copy edits totaling between 1 and 3,999 words (including bonus and rollover words) during the GOCE January 2024 Backlog Elimination Drive. Congratulations, and thank you for your contributions! Dhtwiki (talk) 02:54, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have been blocked edit

Hello @Liu1126, I see that wiki has chosen you to be my editing consultant. As the title above states, I was blocked for vandalism. After that incident, I researched why I was accused of vandalism, and the reason was curiosity. I have no intention of asking you to remove the block for me. I would like to ask for your advice so that next time I won't be blocked, and i hope you will respond. Kind like which posts should I choose to edit? or What should I do when editing to avoid being blocked? Besides, I have a feeling about retaliation, and if that happens, what should I do. Đỗ Quang Phục (talk) 05:21, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Đỗ Quang Phục I don't see any block logs for your account right now. Were you blocked on a previous account? In that case, you should request an unblock on your old account instead of starting a new one.

I do not know what edits you were blocked for, but there's a list of common types of vandalism at Wikipedia:Vandalism, and you prior actions probably fall under one or another category there. Usually, editors will contact or warn you, often several times, if they believe you're doing something wrong (unless the damage is quite egregious or is subject to oversight), in which case you should stop what you were doing (instead of trying to repeat your edits, which would constitute edit warring) and respond to these comments. Liu1126 (talk) 12:14, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your advice @Liu1126, I was very worried when I couldn't log in, Until I remembered the last time auto-login was available on the browser. Đỗ Quang Phục (talk) 22:43, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help, without you it would have taken me a long time to join the wiki Đỗ Quang Phục (talk) 22:44, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Chukwuocha (16:45, 7 February 2024)

Hello, can I cite a book to an article? --Chukwuocha (talk) 16:45, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Chukwuocha, yes you can. This is usually done with the template Template:Cite book; you can find information about its usage in its documentation. The easiest way to insert the template into a certain location is to click the "Cite" button in the top bar of the editor, then choosing "Book" if you're using visual editor, or clicking "Template" then choosing "cite book" if you're using source editor. There will then be a pop up, in which you can enter the book information. Liu1126 (talk) 16:52, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Dr Jackson is not rweal (04:16, 8 February 2024)

I wanted to say you are helpful but I found out multiple things on the scp foundation article talk page (and caused a lot of problems to DS) --Dr Jackson is not rweal (talk) 04:16, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Hello665559 (05:10, 10 February 2024)

how to add topic --Hello665559 (talk) 05:10, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hello665559, can you be a bit more specific? What do you mean by topic? Liu1126 (talk) 11:45, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Shazir Yousaf on Chakrian (11:42, 11 February 2024)

How can I add pics --Shazir Yousaf (talk) 11:42, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Shazir Yousaf, if the image you want to add is already on Wikimedia Commons or stored locally in Wikipedia, you can insert the image by clicking the "Insert" button in the toolbar if you're using Visual Editor, or clicking the image icon in the toolbar if you're using Source Editor. If it's not uploaded yet, you should upload it at Commons if it's freely licensed, or make a request at Wikipedia:Files for upload if it's not. Liu1126 (talk) 12:08, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Sandhyagupta04 (12:57, 11 February 2024)

hi advice how to i will write best articles on wiki about a social worker here --Sandhyagupta04 (talk) 12:57, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sandhyagupta04, you should read Help:Your first article; it is a good guide to writing articles.

In short, Wikipedia articles are about notable subjects and should be supported by reliable sources. The article's content should abide by the Manual of Style. Other guidelines may also apply, like Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Good luck! Liu1126 (talk) 13:48, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Perttiheikkinen (14:53, 13 February 2024)

How do i add LaTeX format to my text? --Perttiheikkinen (talk) 14:53, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Perttiheikkinen, unfortunately I don't have much experience in this area, but you may find the guides at Help:Displaying a formula and MOS:FORMULA useful. You can also ask for help at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics; the members there would be able to help you typeset specific formulae. Liu1126 (talk) 15:12, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Integrated Visual Augmentation System

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Integrated Visual Augmentation System you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Geardona -- Geardona (talk) 15:21, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Integrated Visual Augmentation System

The article Integrated Visual Augmentation System you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Integrated Visual Augmentation System for comments about the article, and Talk:Integrated Visual Augmentation System/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article is eligible to appear in the "Did you know" section of the Main Page, you can nominate it within the next seven days.

Question from AmanjLife23 (19:53, 14 February 2024)

Good Afternoon,

I had a edit reverted for the page "University Of Winnipeg". I had it all sourced out and was wondering what you would recommend doing.

Sincerely, Amanj Vakili --AmanjLife23 (talk) 19:53, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AmanjLife23, it looks like a simple misunderstanding to me. Presumably, the old statistics came from an older version of the webpage, and when you updated the numbers the other editor thought that you were changing information without providing a source.

In any case, I would encourage you to talk to the reverting editor, either on their talk page or by starting a new section on the article's talk page and pinging them, to see what their specific concerns are. I've interacted with this editor before and they are a nice person, but I can approach them for you if you feel uncomfortable about talking to them yourself. Liu1126 (talk) 20:36, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It would be greatly appreciated if you could could talk to them for me as im quite new and dont want to seem to harsh AmanjLife23 (talk) 21:41, 14 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AmanjLife23, I've talked to the other editor, and they agreed to restore your edits, which I have

Done. Just two more things to remember:

You marked your two edits as minor, which shouldn't have been done in this case. Only mark edits as minor if they are very unlikely to be disputed (like grammar fixes, formatting, etc.); if you're unsure whether someone will dispute the edit, don't mark it. See more at Help:Minor edit.
Leaving longer and more descriptive edit summaries can help other editors and recent changes patrollers (see my edit for example). While holding conversations inside edit summaries is discouraged, it's good practice to briefly explain the reasoning behind your edit if others might misunderstand your intent. If the issue is really complicated, you can leave a comment on the talk page and provide a link to the comment in the edit summary. See more at Help:Edit summary

Hope this helps, and good luck for the future! Liu1126 (talk) 19:05, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Vivekupadhyay1 (10:39, 16 February 2024)

Hello, How to start writing and publishing articles on wikipedia and what's the procedure for it. --Vivekupadhyay1 (talk) 10:39, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Vivekupadhyay1, you may find the guide Help:Your first article useful. In short, articles on Wikipedia should be about subjects deemed notable under the notability policy, and only include information that is verifiable using reliable sources. You may also want to gain some more experience in editing through the structured tasks on your newcomer homepage, or by using other guides like the Wikipedia Adventure or Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia. Good luck! Liu1126 (talk) 11:14, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from TracyCS on Judit Selymes (18:28, 16 February 2024)

I'm editing Judit Selymes biography as she passed away on the 7th of this month. I am, was, her home care provider and friend. I've never edited on wiki --TracyCS (talk) 18:28, 16 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TracyCS, I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, information on Wikipedia needs to be supported by reliable sources, especially important information like this. In general, individuals are not considered reliable sources, and there's no practical way for us to verify your identity anyway.

The only source online that I could find is this obituary from Legacy.com, and I'm not even sure if this is the same person as there's so little information in it, although the birth date matches. I'll ask around to see if it's considered reliable enough. If you have any other sources, like a mention in a local newspaper, you can also post them. Thanks.

Question from Anaa amoos (10:45, 22 February 2024)

مرحبا --Anaa amoos (talk) 10:45, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Mcytron (14:36, 25 February 2024)

Hi Liu1126! I've been working on a smallish town in Ukraine with a group of researchers. The town has a page in Ukrainian, but not English and I'd like to rectify that! I'd also like to crosslink it with other pages about that historic region (Volhynia). A large number of people immigrated from the town to the US, Argentina, etc., so here is interest in the town in English.

I'm a researcher and academic myself, so I know my way around how to find and cite primary sources. But I also know Wikipedia has a unique culture and don't want to step on anyone's toes. Is there anyone I should contact before creating the page?

I'd also like to make sure it disambiguates with the many other towns that have the same name (common in Eastern Europe) and that all the different transliterations of the town name are reflected (it's a part of the world that was Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine, USSR, etc., with a diverse group of people living in it--Ukrainian, Jewish, Polish, German, Czech, etc.) --Mcytron (talk) 14:36, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mcytron, welcome to Wikipedia! As you're not yet an confirmed or autoconfirmed editor, you will need to first create a draft of the article in the draft namespace or in your userspace. Then you can submit the draft to Wikipedia:Articles for creation, where experienced editors will review your draft and, if it's ready for publication, move it to mainspace. You may want to read Wikipedia's Manual of Style and other policy pages like WP:CITE and WP:V, as article formatting and citation style on Wikipedia may be different from that of the academic world. Also note that unlike research papers, Wikipedia prefers secondary sources over primary ones.

Crosslinking is highly encouraged on Wikipedia! The easiest way to do this is to search up the town's name in the search bar to find articles that mention the town, then add wikilinks to the words (see MOS:LINK for details on formatting). More advanced methods can be found at Wikipedia:Orphan.

To disambiguate the title, a disambiguation tag should be added in the title. The title of the article would then be [town name], Ukraine or, if there're several towns in Ukraine with this name, [town name], Volhynia (or whatever subnational division in which the town's name is unique). See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Ukrainian places) for more guidance. Once the article is created, you can add it to the disambiguation page of the town name (or create the disambiguation page if it doesn't exist yet).

Ask me any questions you have, and good luck! Liu1126 (talk) 15:44, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great info--thanks so much! I'm going to poke around and do some minor edits in areas where I have expertise and knowledge and hopefully get autoconfirmed in a few days. In the meantime, I'll read up on all of the information you sent me about style and substance. Very helpful. Thanks again!! Mcytron (talk) 11:22, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Dlawarhassan (09:03, 27 February 2024)

Hello bro I need to share my Paragraph about Nicola Tesla --Dlawarhassan (talk) 09:03, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dlawarhassan, since Nikola Tesla is indefinitely semi-protected, you should submit an edit request on the article's talk page. Liu1126 (talk) 10:36, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Leigh147 on Lisa Chedekel (18:22, 29 February 2024)

Hello mentor if i may ask can you help me with a magazine article about effect of music on the lives of teenagers --Leigh147 (talk) 18:22, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Leigh147, of course! Can you be a bit more specific on what help you need (finding/adding references, copyediting, style/tone, etc.)? Liu1126 (talk) 19:53, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from 2mrdawson (01:11, 1 March 2024)

Is this where I have an article written about myself when someone googles me? --2mrdawson (talk) 01:11, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@2mrdawson, writing or asking someone to write an article about yourself is strongly discouraged; see WP:AUTOBIO and WP:COI for policy details. If you are genuinely notable, an independent editor will eventually create an article about you. Liu1126 (talk) 10:26, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from 2mrdawson (01:12, 1 March 2024)

Is this where I have an article written about me so when people google my name or brand? --2mrdawson (talk) 01:12, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from بسیج رسانه (07:53, 11 March 2024)

hi. it seems wiki chose you to be my mentor. its an honor to meet you. by the way, i have translated some topice and pages. but i dont see they are published, in fact they are marked az draft. what sould i do so i can publicly publish them. thnx --بسیج رسانه (talk) 07:53, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@بسیج رسانه, welcome to Wikipedia! Are you using the content translation tool to make this translations? The use of the this tool to publish articles directly into main space is disallowed for non-extended confirmed editors. It should be possible to publish the translation into draft space by appending the keyword "Draft:" before the English article title in the tool, then submitting it to Wikipedia:Articles for creation where other editors will review and publish it for you. Liu1126 (talk) 10:42, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

dear liu. could you please tell me

1-where i can submit the article for reviewing other editors?

&

2-till when my translations must be approved by other editors? how long does it take so i can be a editor myself?

thank you so much بسیج رسانه (talk) 06:16, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The information is included in the links I have given above. Please read them carefully. Liu1126 (talk) 10:48, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Jeff Santora (08:28, 14 March 2024)

Hi there, my name is Jeffrey James Santora. I need help adding an article to Wikipedia for a new mathematical theorem and proof that I happened to stumble upon using an artificially intelligent chat bot (ChatGPT). I've never added an article to Wikipedia, however it shouldn't be too difficult to add this particular article with reliable sources due to it's mathematical nature. --Jeff Santora (talk) 08:28, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jeff Santora, I would advise that you write a draft of the content in your user sandbox; I can then give you more specific suggestions. Some useful guidelines that you should read first include the verifiability policy, the notability guidelines, and the Manual of Style. Liu1126 (talk) 11:29, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:

Proposal 2, initiated by HouseBlaster, provides for the addition of a text box at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by Barkeep49 and Usedtobecool, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
Proposal 5, initiated by SilkTork, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by BilledMammal, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
Proposal 7, initiated by Lee Vilenski, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
Proposal 9b, initiated by Reaper Eternal, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by City of Silver, Ritchie333, and HouseBlaster, respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
Proposal 13, initiated by Novem Lingaue, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
Proposal 14, initiated by Kusma, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by Thebiguglyalien and Soni, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
Proposal 16e, initiated by BilledMammal, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
Proposal 17, initiated by SchroCat, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
Proposal 18, initiated by theleekycauldron, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
Proposal 24, initiated by SportingFlyer, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
Proposal 25, initiated by Femke, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
Proposal 27, initiated by WereSpielChequers, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
Proposal 28, initiated by HouseBlaster, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

Question from Deepfrier (13:34, 14 March 2024)

Hi,how can i edit,fix grammar mistakes,etc.Can you help me? --Deepfrier (talk) 13:34, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Deepfrier, you may find introduction pages like Help:Editing and Help:Introduction informative. If you prefer a more hands-on experience, Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure and the structured tasks on your newcomer homepage would be useful. If you have more specific questions, you can ask me or other editors at the Teahouse or Help Desk. Liu1126 (talk) 14:28, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Inquisitivepigeon (19:26, 16 March 2024)

Hello Liu, can you check my 10 edits and see if i'm on the right track?

Thanks, IP --Inquisitivepigeon (talk) 19:26, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Inquisitivepigeon, you mainspace edits are mostly well written. The tone is clear and concise, the wikitext markup is correct, and you've been using good sources. I removed the image you added on Healthcare in Wales, since it doesn't appear to be strongly related to the accompanying text. You also should've used a framed image (by leaving out the "frameless" parameter) and added a caption, as this is the standard formatting for images in articles; see MOS:IMAGES for more.

Your two edits to the talk pages were not formatted properly. New topics/threads should be created at the bottom of the talk page and be in their own section by adding a level two header. There's no need to do this manually: just click the "Add topic" link in the top bar on the talk page, and an interface will appear in which you can write the header and the content of your message. You also should've signed your messages by placing ~~~~ at the end of the message; a bot added the signature for you in those two cases. Using the interface and the reply button also signs your messages automatically.

Otherwise, keep up the good work! Liu1126 (talk) 21:52, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I appreciate it! Have a good day Inquisitivepigeon (talk) 22:03, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Andromeda ETHIOPIA (15:25, 18 March 2024)

hello and I want to publish Amharic essay --Andromeda ETHIOPIA (talk) 15:25, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Andromeda ETHIOPIA, I advise you not to do so for two reasons:

This is the English Wikipedia; contributions on here are expected to be in English. There is a separate Amharic Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. Personal essays are explicitly prohibited per WP:NOTESSAY, except for limited writings on Wikipedia-related topics in userspace or on the Meta-wiki.

DYK for Integrated Visual Augmentation System

On 19 March 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Integrated Visual Augmentation System, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that more than 50 Microsoft engineers opposed the development of the Integrated Visual Augmentation System, as they believed this made them war profiteers? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Integrated Visual Augmentation System. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Integrated Visual Augmentation System), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

How can I post a reviting article that will get loads of click? --Chapstcik (talk) 02:37, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Chapstcik, I presume that this riveting article you're talking about is your now deleted user page. Please read Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not.

Question from Armatruccin on Category:2024 video games (05:11, 26 March 2024)

add Under night in birth 2 on the list --Armatruccin (talk) 05:11, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Armatruccin, adding articles to categories is done by editing the article itself, not the category. Under Night In-Birth II currently doesn't have an independent article, but I've added its redirect to the category. Please see Help:Category for the technical aspects of categorisation and Wikipedia:Categorization for the editing guidelines. Liu1126 (talk) 14:25, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Hillebrand Gori on JF Hillebrand (14:06, 27 March 2024)

Hi! I need to change the name of a page from JF Hillebrand to Hillebrand Gori --Hillebrand Gori (talk) 14:06, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hillebrand Gori, since this isn't a high traffic page I've WP:BOLDly moved the page for you. In the future you can request similar page moves by following the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves.

Additionally, your username suggests that you have a connection with this company. Per Wikipedia's username policy, accounts should represent a single person, even if you as a person are working for or representing a larger organisation. You should change your username by following the instructions at Wikipedia:Changing username and declare your conflict of interest if you have one. Liu1126 (talk) 14:37, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from AmyB1 (01:27, 31 March 2024)

Hi! Thank you! I was trying to add Eckhart Tolle @ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eckhart_Tolle to the page of American spiritual teachers, but I can’t figure it out. --AmyB1 (talk) 01:27, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@AmyB1, I presume you are trying to add him to Category:American spiritual teachers? Per WP:CATDEF, categorisation of articles should be based on the subject's defining characteristics, as described by reliable sources. I don't think I see him having any personal connection with the United States, except for the fact that his works were very popular there? Liu1126 (talk) 01:37, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, you are correct. This is where I was trying to add his name. Eckhart has also lived in the US (San Diego) and currently holds Spiritual seminars in the US. There are others on the list that aren’t from the US like Alan Watts as well as a few teachers from India and other countries, so perhaps I am not understanding exactly what the criteria is. Is it that they must be born in the US or they are influential in the US? What would you say is the criteria to be on the list? 2601:200:8102:3B80:509A:8E6E:FE49:29CB (talk) 15:54, 31 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As it is in most cases on Wikipedia, there's no clear line between what is and is not a defining characteristic. The relevant policy only says that "A defining characteristic is one that reliable sources commonly and consistently refer to in describing the topic", the rest is left up to editorial discretion.

As an example, Alan Watts who you mentioned to also be in the category lived for over 20 years in the US and probably obtained American citizenship, which is why many reliable sources refer to him as being American.

I'm not familiar with categorisation in this field, so I'm not going to make a judgement call here. If you're still interested, I suggest that you start a discussion on the article's talk page or, if there is no response, on the talk pages of WikiProject Biography and WikiProject Spirituality, the two WikiProjects responsible for the article.

Question from BanthoMotlapele (06:41, 4 April 2024)

Hi, I recently edited an article for Michael Frese, a psychologist and academic who recently won the Global Award for Entrepreneurship Research. Unfortunately, the article was rejected, and my edits were undone. I wanted a copy of my entry so I could make any necessary edits and share it with an editor for review before publishing. Are you able to help me get access to the deleted article? Also, if I needed your help reviewing/ editing the article once re-written, how do I go about that? --BanthoMotlapele (talk) 06:41, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BanthoMotlapele, I'm not entirely sure what you mean. I looked at your edit counter and contribution history and didn't find any deleted edits/articles. If you are referring to your reverted edits on Michael Frese, these edits still exist in the page history; see this old revision, which was the final version of the page before your edits were reverted. Liu1126 (talk) 10:26, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, yes the old revision is indeed what I was referring to.

For context, I received the following email from one of the editors " I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Michael Frese, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page."

So, I want to edit the entry again and submit it to you for review before publishing so that it is not flagged again. My ask is how do I go about doing that? I could not find a "submit for review" button when editing the article. BanthoMotlapele (talk) 04:13, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You should submit a Conflict of Interest edit request. The easiest way to do this is by using the Wikipedia:Edit Request Wizard. You can find relevant policy and guidelines at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Edit requests. Liu1126 (talk) 11:40, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Avijoy De (14:45, 12 April 2024)

Question from Alys62 (22:54, 13 April 2024)

Hi!

How do I create drafts of article edits?

Also, is it frowned upon to have many edits to one's own userpage even if those edits are not in bad faith? I'm using my userpage to keep track of specific articles and aspects of articles that I want to edit. --Alys62 (talk) 22:54, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Alys62, if you want to draft new articles, the easiest way to do this would be to use the Wikipedia:Article wizard. You can also create new pages directly in the draft namespace or your userspace. It can also be useful to draft major changes to existing articles in your own sandbox before editing the page itself, although for smaller edits it's fine to just make the change in the editor and preview your changes before publishing.

As for your second question, it depends on what you are using your userpages for. If you're mostly using your userpages to help your work on Wikipedia (e.g. keeping track of progress/statistics, testing/drafting, etc.), as you are doing now, that's perfectly fine. Many editors do the same, including myself; see my userpage for example. However, if you appear to be making a disproportionate amount of edits in your userspace that do not seem to help improve Wikipedia, other editors may warn you about policies like WP:NOTWEBHOST and possibly delete your userpages under WP:U5. You can find more information about what you may and may not have on your userpages at Wikipedia:User pages. Happy editing! Liu1126 (talk) 23:16, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Alys62 (talk) 23:28, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Priyansh Dhiman (14:06, 14 April 2024)

how do i change the article title? --Priyansh Dhiman (talk) 14:06, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Priyansh Dhiman, this is known as a page move on Wikipedia. How to move the page will depend on the reason for moving.

If the move isn't expected to be controversial (e.g. correcting an obvious spelling mistake), you can move the page yourself if you have the required user rights (most pages only require autoconfirmed rights to be moved, although some situations may require page mover rights), or if you can't move the page yourself you can ask for technical assistance at WP:RM#T.

If the move may be controversial (even if there's only the slightest chance that someone will disagree with the move), you should open a requested move by following the instructions at WP:RM#CM. Liu1126 (talk) 14:15, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
