Hi ☺️👋 I'm trying to talk 💬 to a specific editor (Entranced98)😺 to ask a question ⁉️ but I have noooo idea how to properly code yet🤔. I've been searching 🦜 for someone 💞🔥 and I think she may be able to provide insight. 🪝🌅

Any advice is much appreciated 💟 - Alltook --Alltook (talk) 01:40, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Alltook Hello! Apologies for the delay. You don't need to learn how to code to edit Wikipedia! Have you tried using the VisualEditor? Try it out on the main sandbox or your own sandbox. To send a message to someone, you can go to their user talk page and click on the "Add Topic" button at the top. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 12:12, 21 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Mukunio (02:10, 22 February 2025)

Hi! I made an about to let editors know about since mismatched links in the article about Xhosa. In the notable Xhosa section, the links for Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu are reversed: Mandela takes you to Tutu and vice versa. I can only work off mobile so format is scary, but I wanted to let experienced editors know what was going on --Mukunio (talk) 02:10, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mukunio Hello! I've reverted the edit that put those links in place. Have you tried out the introduction? It gives a lot of very useful information that can help you while editing Wikipedia. I've put a couple of links on your talk page that should aid you. If you want to notify editors about content issues, you can do so on the article's associated talk page. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 02:22, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Elj2846 on Kildare (09:41, 25 February 2025)

Hi. I'm not sure how to reference my editing. I ( think I've added an author Peter Gibbons ) to notable people on Kildare Ireland page. He's written tons of books..they are on Amazon...do I put the library of Congress number for 1 of the books? Or? Thanks. --Elj2846 (talk) 09:41, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Elj2846 Hello! I would say at most you would need an ISBN for the books. However, I would advise you against adding them to the page since they don't have an article (Peter Gibbons seems to be a different person), and we only put people who already have articles about them on "Notable people" lists. If you think they meet notability, see Help:Your first article. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 12:10, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from John Matthew Dougherty (20:47, 2 March 2025)

Hello, I wanted to make an article about images used in memes that seem edited, but are actually the original images, but I would first like to make some edits.

@Seyekanes Hello! See Help:Your first article. In short, find multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject to prove that the topic is notable and information can be verified. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 16:55, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from ChaddicusFinch (17:37, 12 March 2025)

Hi, Mwwv. My boss at work wants me to create an article for his company. His company is mentioned in 5 independent sources, so I think it passes notability, but I also recognize that this presents a conflict of interest. The "Your first article" article advises me to reach out to another editor regarding this.

Edit: Nevermind! I found this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:When_your_boss_tells_you_to_edit_Wikipedia --ChaddicusFinch (talk) 17:37, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ChaddicusFinch Glad to hear that! I'll still put the message I was going to write down just in case you need it.

Hello! ~~Try pointing them to Wikipedia:When your boss tells you to edit Wikipedia. Alongside that,~~ check if the sources you found definitely constitute significant coverage. Should you go ahead and write it, make sure to disclose your conflict of interest, and if you're being paid for it disclose that instead. Also, make sure to put it through WP:Articles for creation so it can be reviewed for any issues. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 17:56, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Patrick Mantey has been accepted

Patrick Mantey, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

New page reviewer granted

Hi Mwwv, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! Sohom (talk) 14:49, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do they effectively help the article (albeit in a small way)? --Zzzleepi (talk) 15:47, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Zzzleepi Hello! I would say that the edits are up to standards and do help the article, except for the "the" in front of Universal Music Group, since it's a company and not a physical group. If you want to continue copyediting, I recommend going to WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors and clicking on the blue button below.

@Avyukt Sarkar.2012 Hello again! I have reverted the edits that were made. We require reliable sources when adding information to an article, as well as having a neutral, formal tone. Your later edits also gave off the impression that you were using AI, which is generally discouraged. I've put some links on your talk page that should help you out some more, and when making future edits please keep the above in mind.

Hello! Nice to meet you. How to write thank you to an editor, do you know? --XJ-Hyper (talk) 08:10, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@XJ-Hyper Hello, and apologies for the long wait! There's multiple ways to show your appreciation to a fellow editor. You can of course write a thoughtfully worded message to their talk page, but my favorite is the wikilove feature. You can click on the heart at the top of the page and choose one of many ways to show your appreciation to someone. Another way is by using the aptly named thanks feature, which can be done on any edit by just simply clicking "thank" on it in the page history. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 22:37, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Hair Band Rocker on Draft:Robby Vegas (17:43, 15 April 2025)

hello, can I have this page published please? --Hair Band Rocker (talk) 17:43, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Hair Band Rocker Hello! As you may have noticed on your talk page, I have declined the draft and marked it for speedy deletion under criteria G11. This means that it only serves to promote a person, and there is little-to-no salvageable content. Wikipedia is not a platform for advertising, and all articles must be written from a neutral point of view. However, whether the article is deleted or not is up to an administrator. Alongside this, the draft used only primary sources such as YouTube interviews and Instagram, none of which show notability. An article meets notability (or in your case, notability for musicians) when it cites multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. I know this is a lot to take in, but there's a lot that needs to be checked when you're writing articles for the 8th most visited website in the world that just so happens to be an encyclopedia. Please use the information that I have provided you. mwwv ^converse∫_edits 17:58, 15 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from BarksRiina (19:46, 17 April 2025)

Thanks! Nice to meet you.

Generally, where should I add re-directs and links to other articles? --BarksRiina (talk) 19:46, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@BarksRiina Hello! I'm sure Wikipedia:Redirect#Purposes of redirects and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking#What generally should be linked helps you answer both of your questions. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 19:53, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! BarksRiina (talk) 20:03, 17 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Solbollen (14:55, 19 April 2025)

Hej hej bäste Mentor!

Swedish or English?

Are there any good beginners guides to contributing and editing on Wikipedia? Please point me in the right direction.

Tack! Solbollen --Solbollen (talk) 14:55, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Solbollen Hej, and sorry for the long wait! English please, I don't know a lick of Swedish 😅 The Swedish Wikipedia does however! Anyways, there's three pages that I usually point to in terms of beginner's guides: Help:Getting started, Help:Introduction, and my favorite: The Wikipedia Adventure. All of them are good resources, but TWA holds a bit of a place in my heart. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 23:02, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oh sorry! Sure thing, thanks for the tips! I'll check em out. Have a good one! Solbollen (talk) 08:27, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from JuliaC222 (02:44, 20 April 2025)

Why can I not find an article on Jimmy Failla, comedian on Fox News? --JuliaC222 (talk) 02:45, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Tomislav Takač (07:21, 21 April 2025)

Can I add links to already existing page? --Tomislav Takač (talk) 07:21, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Tomislav Takač Hello! Yes, you can! Just make sure to follow Wikipedia's guidelines for linking. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 14:05, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Băḷ Ew Øþğųğ (17:47, 22 April 2025)

How do I create an article? --Băḷ Ew Øþğųğ (talk) 17:47, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Băḷ Ew Øþğųğ Hello! See Help:Your first article. In short, find multiple secondary reliable sources that are independent of the subject so notability can be proven and information can be verified. Since this looks to be your first edit here, I recommend you check out the indroduction. I've also put some more useful links on your talk page. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 19:29, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Administrators' newsletter – May 2025

News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2025).

Administrator changes

Rusalkii

NaomiAmethyst (overlooked last month)

Interface administrator changes

Galobtter

Guideline and policy news

Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.

Miscellaneous

A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Question from Dr.Lekh Ranjan B.Patro (05:47, 8 May 2025)

I want to add some extra sounds in English Phonetics --Dr.Lekh Ranjan B.Patro (talk) 05:47, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr.Lekh Ranjan B.Patro Hello! You can do that, as long as you cite your sources for it. I've noticed this is your first edit; maybe you should check out the links I put on your talk page. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 20:41, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Simul moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Simul, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Question from Valeriu863 (23:35, 12 May 2025)

Hi, I was just wondering if you were a person who like rejects and accepts drafts, would you accept it? Mine is called Draft:Valeriu Iftime --Valeriu863 (talk) 23:35, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Valeriu863 Hello! Yes, I do occasionally review drafts. Just note that we usually don't review drafts on demand; be patient and your draft will be gotten to eventually. As I can see, your draft has been rejected for being non-notable, which means it cannot be resubmitted. Because of this, I recommend you stop working on it for a while and wait for new information on the subject that can be added. Please also take in the information you received at the AFC Help Desk. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 23:51, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Valeriu863 (23:56, 12 May 2025)

Well i added a lot more information and sources after it got rejected should i just start a new draft? --Valeriu863 (talk) 23:56, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Valeriu863 Please do NOT create another draft, it'll be declined as a duplicate of the first draft and it may be seen as disruptive editing. Appeal to the reviewer who rejected your draft (S0091) if you believe the rejection should be reconsidered. mwwv ^converse∫_edits 00:19, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I posted something in their talk page. Hopefully this time it will get accepted , Honestly I think I put more than enough sources.

Hoping for the best. Valeriu863 (talk) 01:00, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
