Question from Alexagoodwin (10:53, 8 September 2025)

Hello, hope you are doing well.

I created this article 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Coordination_of_Benefits'

How can I make it live? --Alexagoodwin (talk) 10:53, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexagoodwin: Hey, you’d need to publish the page before submitting it for a review - please do so by clicking on a big blue button “Publish”. So far the page you have linked is empty, so you likely still didn’t save your edit, which also means I can’t give you more feedback on what to improve on your draft. Best regards, A09|(talk) 20:24, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I made edits and published it, but the editor didn’t approve it and asked me to add citations where needed. Here are the comments. What should I do? Can you help?

Comment from editor: I didn't say the citations need to be "stronger"; I said the parts with no citations need to be cited. Alexagoodwin (talk) 12:29, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Coordination of Benefits - Wikipedia Alexagoodwin (talk) 12:29, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexagoodwin: I see you added sources, but I'll refrain from reviewing - medical topics are one of those I don't contribute much. Sources look okay after a quick scan except ref nr. 10 and 16. A reviewer with more experience in such topics will likely pick it up and review it. Best, A09|(talk) 13:49, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Alexagoodwin (talk) 13:59, 9 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Elsibub5 (10:22, 12 September 2025)

Hello, I created a page 'Your Overseas Home' but I can't find it anywhere. Has it been deleted? If so, can I get some feedback on why and what I should do next? --Elsibub5 (talk) 10:22, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Elsibub5 Hi and welcome, your page has been draftified to Draft:Your Overseas Home. To get it published you should follow instructions given out in the draft rejection notice on top of the draft page. Best regards, A09|(talk) 10:45, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Bo Razón Music (00:18, 14 September 2025)

Hi, how do I access my sandbox for a draft I’m dropping in? --Bo Razón Music (talk) 00:18, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Bo Razón Music: Hello, sorry for a moderately late answer – judging by your contributions seems like you discovered how to make a proper sandbox in your userspace. Your sandbox can be accessed here: User:Bo Razón Music/sandbox. If you ever have the need to create multiple, you can make multiple sandboxes (ie. User:Bo Razón Music/sandbox 2, Bo Razón Music/sandbox 3, ... or even give them names such as Bo Razón Music/John Doe). Best regards, A09|(talk) 09:25, 15 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Violettehello! (08:42, 16 September 2025)

i want to make a wikipedia about myself --Violettehello! (talk) 08:42, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Violettehello!: I suggest not to as you have conflict of interest. A09|(talk) 15:57, 16 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from The Neofighter on User:The Neofighter/sandbox (03:23, 20 September 2025)

How do I turn my sandbox into an actual wiki page? --The Neofighter (talk) 03:23, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@The Neofighter hey and sorry for a late reply. I’d point to WP:AFC but you can just ask me in the future to review the page directly - there are some problems though which bar publishing of the page as an article, since your draft lacks any reliable sources. I suggest adding those and then I’ll review your page. Best regards! A09|(talk) 21:57, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Blckop (14:33, 22 September 2025)

if i wanted to create a page for Articles for Creation, how would i go about it, with COI? --Blckop (talk) 14:33, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Blckop: hey, I suggest reading WP:DISCLOSE which outlines how to properly tag your conflict of interest. Then follow Help:Your first article which should get you covered for the rest. Regards, A09|(talk) 15:27, 23 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from PhalanNaomii (15:09, 23 September 2025)

How do I make one about myself --PhalanNaomii (talk) 15:09, 23 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@PhalanNaomii: I strongly advise not to – see the policy on conflict of interest. Regards, A09|(talk) 15:25, 23 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from PhalanNaomii (15:29, 23 September 2025)

Its not About me myself its about someone else sorry for the confusion --PhalanNaomii (talk) 15:29, 23 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@PhalanNaomii: COI still applies if you're connected to the subject, otherwise follow Help:Your first article. Best regards, A09|(talk) 15:34, 23 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Can you help me with my sockpuppet case against Ogaboga69 Its Lido (talk) 20:15, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Its Lido: Hi, to be totally fair your SPI is pointless as there are no socks listed and no credible proof of them socking (see also WP:SOCKING) – if they made personal attacks I'd suggest taking it to WP:ANI but they have been already indeffed so I'd consider the case closed. A SPI clerk will likely appropriately handle your request. Or did I perhaps miss something and you need composing an SPI with socks included? Regards, A09|(talk) 20:25, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

they told me i will make an alt account and proceded to call me a slur under my old username officiallido Its Lido (talk) 20:29, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I want his main account blocked. Its Lido (talk) 20:29, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

They are already blocked for making personal attacks. Again, there is no proof of them socking and see WP:NOTFISHING so I suggest waiting for further proof besides just ragebaiting I will sock phrases. Best regards, A09|(talk) 20:32, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So in theory if I created a VOA account and said horrible things a checkuser can find out it’s me because I never said so. That’s kind of messed up. Its Lido (talk) 22:10, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's the point of a checkuser? But you first need to provide credible proof someone is socking. A09|(talk) 08:26, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So as long I as I never say I am a sock i am fine because thats not right. Its Lido (talk) 14:19, 28 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from StatesNewsService (15:20, 29 September 2025)

Hi, I work at States News Service. I am trying to update the wikipedia as it says we are defunct. Our website domain is currently being transferred. Our founder's birth year is incorrect as well. --StatesNewsService (talk) 15:20, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@StatesNewsService: The correct procedure is to follow WP:COI and WP:PAID but you should first resolve the username issue, about which you have already been informed about on your talkpage. If you need any help, just let me know and ping me on your talkpage since you won't be able to respond here while being blocked. Regards, A09|(talk) 18:00, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard regarding a courtesy vanishing of a user that you may be interested in this thread as it appears you executed the signature separation last year, so you may have more context to provide. The thread is Ozone742 / Renamed user 69d650c3b39235d55e0b6175df9cf787 seems like a case of WP:VANISHNOT.Raladic (talk) 17:50, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from RobMcGo (00:02, 30 September 2025)

Hi A09. Thanks for being my mentor. I'm having trouble getting an article published having been through two rounds of review. There is very little formally published material on the subject (Diploma of Cosmetic Tattooing) and subject area. The majority of my references (22 in total) are government websites and regulatory informnation. Both reviewers have said there needs to be more citation of publications, so I am at a loss as to what else can be done. Reviewers have also said that it looks like the article was written by AI, and nothing could be further from the truth (all my own work, and at this stage an LLM would be incapable of generating such an article). Any guidance or comments appreciated. Thank you. --RobMcGo (talk) 00:02, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
