React Media c/e

[edit]

Hey, hope you are doing well! I was looking through the React Media article and recalled your really good help with copy editing the Jacksfilms article. I was wondering if you had the time & energy to do some similar work on the React page? Absolutely no rush on this, and if you are unable, no worries at all. Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to lend! :) Best wishes, Soulbust (talk) 08:04, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thank you for reaching out! I haven't been too active on wiki recently but I can try to take a look sometime soon. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 19:03, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Anand Prakash Artist (17:05, 27 July 2025)

[edit]
Anand Prakash Artist's mentor Wugapodes is away.

Hello Mentor I tried creating my page however one more person with same name had created page already on Wikipedia hence my edits (I thought its placeholder details and not actual so I updated it) are rejected. Could you please help me with creating my page when a page for same person exists. Good part is that we are professionals of different areas so no conflict but how to create my page in this situation. Please help me. --Anand Prakash Artist (talk) 17:05, 27 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
