Question from Sapotilex (15:09, 12 September 2025)

Hi! I'm already an experienced editor, with decades of professional experience under my belt (www.alexadvorson.com). All I want to do now is upload an article, but it seems the obstacles are numerous. Can you kindly advise? --Sapotilex (talk) 15:09, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sapotilex: Hi there! There's lots of information for you at Help:Your first article. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 23:58, 12 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It's unclear what I'm supposed to "edit." Sapotilex (talk) 00:12, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sapotilex: The act of creating or changing a Wikipedia page is called "editing". I suggest learning how to edit by changing existing articles before trying to make a new one. Try Help:Introduction to learn how to edit. GoingBatty (talk) 00:30, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Seeking guidance for NPP application

Hi GoingBatty, I’m planning to apply for the (NPP) right and wanted to seek some guidance before submitting. While I haven’t done formal reviewing yet, I’ve been creating and contributing articles on Wikipedia, and I know you’ve occasionally helped with minor cleanups on my pages. I’d appreciate any advice or mentorship you can provide on preparing my application and meeting the expectations for NPP. Cameremote (talk) 21:03, 18 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cameremote: Hi there! I'm not a member of the NPP, so I might not be the best one to ask. You've met the first criteria of having edited for at least 90 days, and having made at least 500 non-deleted edits to the main (article) space. A quick scan of your user talk page and archives show that you communicate civilly with other editors. However, it seems that some conversations on your user talk page indicate you're still learning how to patrol other people's new articles and that the articles you're creating may not be demonstrating notability. I've definitely learned by making mistakes (on wiki and off wiki) and encourage you to keep working to make Wikipedia a better place. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 00:31, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for this. Cameremote (talk) 23:53, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Article

I hope everything is well with you? I have created a article about Melodifestivalen 2026, Sweden’s biggest music competition. If you can improve it in anyway it would be appreciated. Regards.BabbaQ (talk) 17:58, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@BabbaQ: Hi there! I see that your article has been changed to be a redirect per WP:TOOSOON. If you change it to an article next year, please let me know and I'll be happy to tweak it if needed. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 19:45, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Gusstuff2k (20:03, 22 September 2025)

Do I have to be a subject-matter expert to make edits? --Gusstuff2k (talk) 20:03, 22 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Gusstuff2k: Hi there! No, you don't need to be a subject matter expert to make edits. However, if you add any information or make a material change, you need to provide a reference showing where you read the information. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 19:41, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Throcky42 on User:Throcky42 (22:06, 25 September 2025)

omg i'm new to this, how do i make a user profile?? --Throcky42 (talk) 22:06, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Throcky42: Hi there! On Wikipedia, you can create a user page to explain a little about yourself and what you want to do on Wikipedia. User pages can be edited the same way that Wikipedia articles can be edited. To learn how to edit, visit Help:Introduction. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 14:59, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@GoingBatty: Cheers! Throcky42 (talk) 16:36, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Throcky42 (22:15, 25 September 2025)

I have previously updated information on a secondary school's wikipedia page. however, this page has no sources. would the school's website or local news articles be adequate sources for the article and any future edits? sorry, there aren't many contributors, so I am unable to ask on the talk page, which I assume this question is more suitable for. thank you. --Throcky42 (talk) 22:15, 25 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Throcky42: Independent news articles would be better than the school's website, and the school's website is better than nothing. GoingBatty (talk) 15:01, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Dom likes lil goobers (00:14, 26 September 2025)

hello, I saw someone say in an article talk page they "ran a couple of bots" on an article. how do I do this? it would make it much easier to edit things for me. --Dom likes lil goobers (talk) 00:15, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Dom likes lil goobers: There are many bots, editing tools, and other software that can be used to make editing easier. If you look at the article history, you might be able to determine which bots were used. If not, please point me to the talk page discussion and I can try to help you further. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 15:08, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks and I recently found out how to make one. thankfully I've been learning coding so I might be able to make bots soon. Dom likes lil goobers (talk) 15:58, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Archaias (09:46, 29 September 2025)

Hello GoingBatty. I am a retired professional geologist who read and enjoyed the article 'Geology of the Grand Canyon area', but found a likely simple error in chronostratigraphy and also an interpretation that I believe requires an alternative explanation. I do not wish to simply make changes. Please assist by explaining how I can post my suggestions so that the author of the article can review them. --Archaias (talk) 09:46, 29 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
