Question from Victor.audiodo (11:05, 9 May 2025)

How come it show User:Victor.Audiodo as a page title when my actual page title is Audiodo? --Victor.audiodo (talk) 11:05, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Changing the heading doesn't change the title of the page. The title of this page isn't "Question from Victor.audiodo (11:05, 9 May 2025)" either. Aaron Liu (talk) 19:15, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My question is that now I am an auto confirmed but not able to edit semi protected page in wikipedia web and in app I can enter but can't edit a single word why this happens 😭 --Notsorack (talk) 11:24, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you've fixed the problem! Aaron Liu (talk) 13:33, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Bdavid1985 (13:27, 15 May 2025)

Hi Aaron, I'm a retired sustainability analyst with the Candian government. I'm generallyinterested in how sustainability and natural resource management can coexist in areas like mining, forestry and energy. Do you have any tips on how to contribute to Wikipedia? Thanks Ben --Bdavid1985 (talk) 13:27, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've sent you a welcome template with some pointers! Special:Homepage also suggests some tasks for a topic of your choice. Aaron Liu (talk) 13:41, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Concern regarding Draft:WordPress vs. WP Engine

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 01:08, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Donn Fretz (14:14, 17 May 2025)

--Donn Fretz (talk) 14:14, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The description of the file (click on it and then click on "More details") says it is a photo. Aaron Liu (talk) 15:48, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How does one verify that the description is correct? Donn Fretz (talk) 18:15, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure. Usually it's stated in the source, but the archived version of the source in this case doesn't say anything. You can ask c:Commons:Village pump, which is filled with those avid about photography! Aaron Liu (talk) 11:30, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Watermannetje on Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion (16:47, 21 May 2025)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H401 I would like this fraudulent page to be removed --Watermannetje (talk) 16:47, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome! Why is that? If you're sure you have a reason based on our inclusion criteria, just follow the directions at the top of WP:AfD. Aaron Liu (talk) 12:17, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Zazzy XM (12:48, 27 May 2025)

Hello. I want to be on visible on Google that people would be able to search for me. --Zazzy XM (talk) 12:48, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ey, creating an article about WP:YOURSELF is an extremely bad idea per the link in this sentence. I really doubt that you meet our criteria for inclusion. There is very little benefit for the subject when they have a Wikipedia article, and there are many possible downsides. Aaron Liu (talk) 13:37, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Donald Trump

Hi Aaron Liu: I've just noticed that the RfC at Trump which you participated in is now closed without a clear result. Your own comments about it drew my attention, and it looked like there is now an opportunity for you to offer your alternative as an improved version of it in a new RfC. Your thoughts seemed useful to put forward in a new RfC which you could start when convenient for you now that the old RfC is closed without a clear result. ErnestKrause (talk) 23:27, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I feel like it's improper to start an RfC right after the last one was closed, though. Maybe in three months. Aaron Liu (talk) 00:06, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Riposte97 went ahead with the RfC, though I had thought he would go with your version as you amended it. There is currently a request in the Discussion section there that the RfC be rewritten to comply with length requirements. This might allow you to separate the RfC preface from the suggested three paragraph content as you had written it. Your three paragraph version could then be added as the first posting in the RfC at the very top. Would this help gain your support for the RfC? ErnestKrause (talk) 00:22, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah... I was enthusiastic about a new RfC until I wasn't. I feel like the initial response has already soured the mood to save this RfC. Aaron Liu (talk) 02:48, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This morning I saw the withdrawal, and Riposte97 might be a good choice to agree with, upon which version of the revised three paragraphs would be best if its restarted several weeks from now, as you originally suggested. Its important, I think, that both you and Riposte97 agree on it before an RfC is restarted maybe sometime during the upcoming weeks of this month or later in the summer. ErnestKrause (talk) 14:15, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. I feel like that workshopping should be more public and on the article talk page, though. Aaron Liu (talk) 16:41, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Either way it has to go to the main Talk page in the end; I'd thought that making sure that we (Riposte97, yourself, myself) were on the same wavelength would have its own advantages, given that result of the last self-closed RfC from Riposte97. Your previous comments from last week were rather convincing. ErnestKrause (talk) 22:57, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the drive!

Question from Drannatilbury (11:16, 2 June 2025)

Greetings! I hope my message finds you well. I have attempted to submit my first draft about someone. However I can not find the submission nor any notifications.

Sorry, I don't see anything on this account. Aaron Liu (talk) 11:45, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Carrie Hynds (11:05, 3 June 2025)

Hi Aaron! I've worked out how to add basic citations by adding the URL between <ref> tags, but have seen other references that include descriptive text. How is the descriptive text added? --Carrie Hynds (talk) 11:05, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome! That's with one of the {{citation}} templates! Aaron Liu (talk) 11:38, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Trump atopr

Hi. Re this, your atopr doesn't render anything that says "SNOW withdrawn". I don't know how to fix it. You also failed to sign, which is important. ―Mandruss ☎ IMO. 21:49, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is soooo weird. The script I used automatically added {{nac}} and my signature in the past. Fixed now, thanks. Aaron Liu (talk) 01:51, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Just curious from India (09:13, 6 June 2025)

hello please excuse me but,if everyone can edit something (articles) then wont that disrupt the amount of real information in the article? thanks --Just curious from India (talk) 09:13, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Please see Reliability of Wikipedia. In short, there are editors who like patroling Special:RecentChanges, looking for and reverting vandalism. You can also easily tell if information is correct: According to Wikipedia:Verifiability, all information likely to be challenged must have an inline citation: those iconic ^[1]s. It is true that malicious editors may fabricate such information and citations, but the more people stumble across an article, the more likely someone has an issue with the information, checks the sources and corrects it. Hope that helps! Aaron Liu (talk) 22:37, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
