Hello Aaron Liu, I hope you're fine. Can I use AI just to polish my writing? Thanks! --NyxusHexcrew (talk) 20:05, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Parvin joon Naficy (04:55, 21 July 2025)

Parvin joon Naficy's mentor Calliopejen1 is away.

Hii I want to Move my sandbox Bio profile to Wikipedia. What I can do? --Parvin joon Naficy 04:55, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. The usual way for newcomers to submit articles to Wikipedia is to submit them to ArticlesForCreation for review as you've done. I see that there are now review comments on your draft, which you should address. You should also respond to Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk#04:58, 21 July 2025 review of submission by Parvin joon Naficy.

Note that you also misunderstood qcne's comment to use inline citations. He means that you should add a <ref> after every sentence the said reference supports. Aaron Liu (talk) 15:40, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Francoisetfanny on User:Francoisetfanny (09:31, 21 July 2025)

Hello there, hope all is well. How do I find my Sandbox to write my first article? Thanks --Francoisetfanny (talk) 09:31, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. Drafts are usually put under the Draft: namespace, as you've correctly created yours under. If you still want to access your sandbox, simply click on your profile dropdown at the top-right and click "Sandbox"! Aaron Liu (talk) 15:42, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! Just gain some experience first. A good way to do so is the Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure. Aaron Liu (talk) 02:18, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Nahwikiweh (00:20, 1 August 2025)

Im Unsure if this is too broad of a question, but could you check if my sandbox article is written in an appropriate style? --Nahwikiweh (talk) 00:20, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. On just style, you've certainly nailed the Wikivoice tone, save for a few minor grammar errors. However, it's definitely not ready for publication. The entire biography is unsourced, and for the parts where you do use sources, you use them to say things that the sources themselves don't say. For example, you can't say This collaboration was profiled by the University of Cambridge here; with that source, you can only say something like "Dupree led research on plant wall structure about the interaction between cellulose and xylan to...", summarizing what the article says. Check out Help:Your first article!

For the more conventional process of reviewing, you can use {{AfC submission}}! Aaron Liu (talk) 02:44, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Langelihle Gqokoma on User:Langelihle Gqokoma (11:54, 1 August 2025)

Hello, how can I be successful with my writing eager? --Langelihle Gqokoma (talk) 11:54, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I'm not sure what you mean. Aaron Liu (talk) 02:45, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The wikipedia page I created got nominated for deletion. Please help

Hi. I'm new to Wikipedia and I recently created the page Sulara Nanayakkara, a prominent Sri Lankan violinist. I assumed he met the notability criteria because a lot of newspaper articles appear on a google search for his name. But my page got nominated for deletion today. Please find the deletion discussion here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Sulara_Nanayakkara . I would be grateful if you could give suggestions to improve this page to save it from deletion. Thanks in advance Withanakasun (talk) 16:18, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I think the ArticlesForDeletion discussion has a good explanation. Aaron Liu (talk) 02:43, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Prentissmyth (04:09, 4 August 2025)

how are you. i would like for you to edit my work and post. I want it to be for profit. i have the bio the pic and the links for you. Plase contact me if this fits down your alley. --Prentissmyth (talk) 04:09, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. Depending on the subject this article would be for, that might not even be possible at all if it does not meet our criteria for inclusion. What is it you want to create an article about? Aaron Liu (talk) 02:42, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

News.com.au

See a discussion at WP:RS/N which was about the Herald Sun. In that discussion I linked a number of discussions in which the Herald Sun had been mentioned. One of them was about News.com.au. I wouldn't classify it as being as bad as the Herald Sun, but it's a very long way from being the best source to use. TarnishedPath^talk 02:37, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
