Tip of the day...

Namespace entry points

The most important non-talk namespaces have one or more centralized pages (or entry points) from which a user can find their way around more easily. These pages link to the most important pages, which in turn eventually lead, in an evolving organized way to the rest of the pages in the namespace. Here are the entry points for the namespaces which have them (note that a namespace's entry points can reside on other namespaces):

• Main namespace: Main Page, List of basic topics, List of topic lists, all Portals (see Portal:Browse), the entire category system (see Category:Contents and Wikipedia:Browse), Wikipedia:Browse by overview, and Wikipedia:Quick index.
• Wikipedia namespace: Wikipedia:Community Portal, Help:Contents, Wikipedia:Department directory, Wikipedia:Shortcuts.
• Help namespace: Help:Contents

A superior barnstar for you!

		The Order of the Superior Scribe of Wikipedia
		For all the time and effort you have put in — across thousands of edits — to markedly improve numerous articles related to Christianity all these years. The magnitude of the positive impact you have had with regard to Wikipedia's coverage of academic topics related to Christianity is unprecedented; I cannot think of any other editor who has worked so rigorously and improved those topics to the extent that you have. You are a phenomenal editor and your work is awe-inspiring. Thank you for all that you do! — The Most Comfortable Chair 21:12, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Referencing of Conversion to Christianity

A cookie for your work, not sure how much more I can help you with referencing now :).

The content now reads as a proper Wikipedia article as well. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested ∆transmissions∆ °co-ords° 10:50, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ActivelyDisinterested Bless you! Thank you! I so deeply appreciate you and all your work. You are still the one I will reach out to when I have a problem, but you have taught me a lot, and this article was just too much to ask someone else to do for me. I would have enjoyed banging my head against a wall more, but hey, I followed your example and got it done. I put it up for peer review and others suggested adding back a theology section which I am beginning work on today. Thank you again. You are a great blessing.

I haven't read that page, but the talkpage might get interesting. I'm guessing you know who Larry Sanger is. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 10:18, 30 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Cpanosiandunavan (23:28, 5 October 2025)

Dear Jennhawk777,

Thanks in advance for your help, especially since I am totally unfamiliar with how to re-do my Wikipedia page! Having said that, I am very grateful that Jess Wade created my original Wikipedia page (which I only recently discovered) several years ago. Nonetheless, at this point it requires updates and changes.

Would it be okay if I sent you a brand-new, re-written version of roughly the same length that includes much of the current content and structure along with updates, deletions, and correction of errors along with some new online links and references that you could blend with the old references? Or is that asking too much of you?

I'm not in a huge rush --just want to complete the task properly in next few weeks if that seems reasonable.

All best Claire Panosian Dunavan, MD in California --Cpanosiandunavan (talk) 23:28, 5 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pinging @Jesswade88 if she wishes to respond (that's Jess Wade if anyone didn't know). @Cpanosiandunavan, I'm guessing this is about Claire Panosian. There is a good chance this will not be as quick or easy as you'd like, but on WP, you never know. My advice, worth its weight in diamonds:

Post your proposed updates at Talk:Claire Panosian, that way an interested Wikipedian can see what you're after. If it's a lot, consider picking only what you consider most important, a huge list is less likely to be acted upon. Then, also post a message at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women scientists and WP:BLPN that you have done this and would like help with it. Then see what happens. Hopefully someone will edit/communicate with you on Talk:Claire Panosian. More info at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Help. Hope this helps some. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 06:32, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And oh yeah: on your userpage, User:Cpanosiandunavan, please write something like "I'm Claire Panosian, and I'd like to update the WP-article about me." It's the rulez. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:30, 6 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from BasedCorporatist (01:49, 9 October 2025)

Hello would making a semi-joke wikipedia page be allowed the page would be named "list of video games made in 1932" which is meant for laughs (because there were no video games in 1932) but it could be helpful for people because then I could send a link to tennis for 2 which was the first video game made in 1958 --BasedCorporatist (talk) 01:49, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@BasedCorporatist No, it's not allowed. On this website, that would be considered WP:Disruptive editing or WP:VANDALISM. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:03, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

But i saw a page which was a stop abusing kittens petition and that was allowed why would this not be allowed BasedCorporatist (talk) 18:30, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

BasedCorporatist I suggest sending it to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost our monthly "newsletter". They have a humor column. Jenhawk777 (talk) 18:42, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

how do I do that BasedCorporatist (talk) 20:06, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Click on the title. Go there and ask them. Jenhawk777 (talk) 02:30, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, there is a distinction here. Wikipedia:Administrators against kitten abuse is a WP-page, but not an article, this is seen by the title beginning with Wikipedia:. List of video games made in 1932 would be a WP-article, and what I said applies. If you want to make such a page in your user space (User:BasedCorporatist/List of video games made in 1932) or project space (that's the ones that start with Wikipedia:), guess you could, but it's quite possible someone would think such pages should be deleted. Wikipedia:Humor may be of interest to you. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 22:14, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ok but how do I make a header for the page BasedCorporatist (talk) 22:22, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Try WP:USERSUBPAGE. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 05:38, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from BasedCorporatist on User:BasedCorporatist/sandbox (22:24, 9 October 2025)

Hello jenhawk How do I make a header --BasedCorporatist (talk) 22:24, 9 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what you mean by "Header". WP articles have titles, and that is part of what gets accepted when you publish the article. Jenhawk777 (talk) 02:32, 10 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Influviajante (05:29, 11 October 2025)

Hi Jen, hope you are well. Yesterday I published an article about Yves Laumet at the request of his wife who I have as a dear friend. I am new in publishing on wikipedia and I don't really know what happens next. I tried to search for the articles to send her the link so that we can improve it and the search does not show the article. Help please. Many thanks. A --Influviajante (talk) 05:29, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What's the name of the article? Jenhawk777 (talk) 06:26, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jen, I was not very specific when I contacted you earlier. I used the sandbox to draft an article about Yves Laumet at the request of his surviving wife. The article is not yet complete because there are details that his wife will have to provide and also some of his work, especially TV series are not yet mentioned in his filmography. Question: will the article be publish as it is at the moment and then through consecutive edits it will be complete. And if yes, how it can be published. Influviajante (talk) 18:50, 13 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Use Wikipedia:Article wizard and follow its instructions. The wife cannot be used as a source for a Wikipedia article. She is a primary source, and Wikipedia only allows secondary sources. A secondary source could be a book or an article that has been published on your subject; it could use her as a source, and you can use it, but you cannot use her. The article will not be published. Jenhawk777 (talk) 18:12, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from DeepBlue8 (05:23, 12 October 2025)

Hi there! I came across an article section that sounds suspiciously like it was edited by an LLM. The article in question is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_of_Seville#Plot. Should we do anything about it? Thanks. --DeepBlue8 (talk) 05:23, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The entire section is without a single reference. That's sufficient cause for deletion. Jenhawk777 (talk) 06:30, 12 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Dafootballguy (20:20, 13 October 2025)

Hi, why are my helpful edits being removed by cluebot. Also I would like to edit football or baseball articles how can I gain access to the ones requiring editing --Dafootballguy (talk) 20:20, 13 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Where? Jenhawk777 (talk) 18:12, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the edit history indicates your edits have been made without any sourcing at all, and that will always be reverted. They seem to constitute a highly biased personal opinion and that too will get reverted. Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of promotion Wikipedia is not a platform for your personal views. It is an encyclopedia. Jenhawk777 (talk) 18:19, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

They're not wrong

This was pretty funny. How do you know your meeting with Donald Trump went ok? WP doesn't start an article about it. How Albanese can pass the Oval Office Wikipedia test. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:07, 17 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, that was truly interesting. Has the meeting happened? I am pretty disconnected right now - and not very political in the first place. I mostly practice ignoring Trump and pretending he isn't there ... Jenhawk777 (talk) 21:10, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The paper said Monday. In other news, Talk:WikiConference_North_America#Refs. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 03:33, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"I also love a good Wikipedia entry, which I’ll admit is an odd thing to say. But if you go deep enough down the rabbit hole, you can usually find some weird stuff some agitated editor has managed to slip into the record, quite possibly after months of debate with a different agitated editor. That’s my favorite part."

Question from Jakuplynn on Sad Satan (17:44, 19 October 2025)

What do I do when I'm trying to link to one page but instead it ends up linking to another page with the same name ? I'm trying to link to the article about internet trolls but instead it keeps directing to the article on mythological trolls. --Jakuplynn (talk) 17:44, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There cannot be two articles with the same name on Wikipedia. Check the titles. Jenhawk777 (talk) 19:08, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
