Question from Rpbharat on Draft:Barwar (Rajput clan) (07:51, 8 July 2025)

[edit]

Double link --Rpbharat (talk) 07:51, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Rpbharat, I'm sorry but I don't know what you mean by this. Do you have a particular question about editing, or (for example) Wikipedia's linking guidelines? Pineapple Storage (talk) 14:03, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Barwar is a Rajput clan who came to Ayodhya in 1580 from their Daundiya Khera state who is just gay in this aspas area I was publishing this article but it is in draft and is not getting published 103.217.78.162 (talk) 14:09, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for explaining a bit more. As far as I can tell, the articles that were previously at Baruwar (clan) and Barwar (caste) were merged into the article on Rajput clans in 2023; before the merges, Baruwar (clan) looked like this and Barwar (caste) looked like this. This discussion indicates why this merge was done; the editors who contributed to that discussion identified that the subject of the article didn't meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines, so should be merged into the wider article on Rajput clans. As a result, a new article about that subject is unlikely to be accepted at Articles for Creation, unless there is proof of significant coverage in reliable sources.
Ordinarily, my advice would be to add the relevant information from your draft article to the article for Rajput clans, as that is the broader article that covers the topic. However, that article is subject to Extended-confirmed protection, meaning that only Extended-confirmed users (that is, user accounts older than 30 days who have made more than 500 edits) can edit the article. This is due to Wikipedia's Contentious Topics procedure, which has caused the Arbitration Committee to designate South Asia—and specifically South Asian social groups—as a Contentious Topic. (Please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics/South Asia for further details about this.)
Your account is not yet Extended-confirmed, so you won't be able to edit Rajput clans directly; however, you're welcome to submit an edit request on the article's talk page by following the instructions at Wikipedia:Edit requests#Planning a request. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions, or if there's anything else I can help with. :) Pineapple Storage (talk) 15:00, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from K talks (10:19, 8 July 2025)

[edit]

How to edit freely? --K talks (talk) 10:19, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @K talks, I'm sorry but I'm not sure what you mean by this. From your contributions to your user page, I think it's possible you may be interested in editing the article about Diana, Princess of Wales, which is currently semi-protected, meaning that only Autoconfirmed users (that is, users who have made at least 10 edits) can edit the article. Your account is not yet autoconfirmed, so unfortunately you can't yet edit the article directly, but you're welcome to submit an edit request on the article's talk page by following the instructions at Wikipedia:Edit requests#Planning a request. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions, or if there's anything else I can help with. :) Pineapple Storage (talk) 14:17, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Lumenb (20:00, 8 July 2025)

[edit]

Hey there! Thanks for your help. I'm having trouble getting my first article approved. Are you able to help me out? I've reviewed the guidelines as per feedback I've received, and it seems to check the boxes.Thanks so much! --Lumenb (talk) 20:00, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Lumenb! Thank you for getting in touch. I'm really sorry about the delay getting back to you! I haven't been so active in the last couple of weeks due to IRL commitments.
From your contributions, I can see that you've been working on Draft:Rags 2 Richmond (2024 Digital Series), but unfortunately your draft submissions have been declined so far. The two most recent reviewers indicated that their concerns were about the quality of the sources used to support the content of the draft article. In case you haven't already, I would strongly recommend looking through Wikipedia:Reliable sources and Wikipedia:Independent sources, which provide guidance on the requirements for sources used on Wikipedia, as well as Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Notability (web), which detail the requirements for notability that subjects must meet in order to warrant having their own article.
Regarding Rags 2 Richmond specifically, you may want to include information from these secondary sources, which I have added to the § Further reading section of the draft article:
  • Duong, Vicki (26 November 2024). "Free digital series "Rags 2 Richmond" explores Richmond's role in Hong Kong stardom". The Georgia Straight. Archived from the original on 19 July 2025. Retrieved 19 July 2025.
  • Leung, Valerie (27 November 2024). "Digital musical dramedy series 'Rags 2 Richmond' set to premiere". Richmond News. Lodestar Media. Archived from the original on 24 May 2025. Retrieved 19 July 2025.
I have added some 'cleanup templates' to the draft, which will hopefully give you some guidance on how it can be improved to increase its likelihood of being accepted. You may also want to look over Wikipedia:External links, which offers advice about when and where external links can be included in Wikipedia articles.
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions, or if there's anything else I can help with. :) Pineapple Storage (talk) 13:56, 19 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @Pineapple Storage! Really appreciate you getting back to me on this. I will review the resources and add additional info from the secondary sources you listed. Hopefully it will be approved now :) Will update you. Thank you so much! Lumenb (talk) 18:48, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from SouthAustralianSoccer (09:47, 26 July 2025)

[edit]
SouthAustralianSoccer's mentor Lajmmoore is away.

Hi, I actually was going to get an experienced editor to create and publish a Wikipedia page for my Dad who was a well known soccer player. Can you help with this? --SouthAustralianSoccer (talk) 09:47, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Yes of course, I'm happy to help out with this! Thank you very much for getting in touch rather than going ahead and writing the article yourself, which would have gone against Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. Please could you send me a couple of articles/online sources about your Dad? I will then do some further research and let you know if a draft is likely to meet the requirements (for a person to have their own article on Wikipedia, there needs to have been "significant coverage" in reliable and independent sources, which unfortunately isn't always the case, even for popular or successful individuals). If the coverage requirements are met then I'll be happy to write a draft of the article! I can see you also contacted Milkk7 (on their talk page), so I'd be happy to collaborate with them on preparing a draft, if that's what you and they would like. :) Pineapple Storage (talk) 10:19, 26 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Cyber BLØØD$HØT on BH (newspaper) (14:32, 2 August 2025)

[edit]

how can i create a citation dude --Cyber BLØØD$HØT (talk) 14:32, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Cyber BLØØD$HØT, thank you for getting in touch! From your contributions so far, I can see you're using the VisualEditor. While you're editing an article in the VisualEditor, there should be a button that says "Cite" and looks like this: If you click that, a message should pop up saying "Add a citation"; you can then paste a URL into the text box, and click "Create" to preview the citation. If you're happy with it, click "Insert", and it should be added to the article! Alternatively, before inputting the URL, you can click "Manual" to fill out the details of the source by hand, rather than having a citation automatically generated.
I hope this helps! You may also want to check out Help:Referencing for beginners for more details. Please let me know if you have any other questions, or if there's anything else I can do to help! :) Pineapple Storage (talk) 16:36, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Txnz Reem (17:41, 4 August 2025)

[edit]

how can i write someone's biography --Txnz Reem (talk) 17:41, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Txnz Reem, thank you for getting in touch, and welcome to Wikipedia! The best way to write a new biographical article is to write a draft article and submit it for review; this can be done by following the instructions at Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Before you start writing your article, be sure to read through Help:Your first article, and follow the instructions given on that page. If the biography you want to write is about a person who is alive (or recently deceased) you should also read and follow Wikipedia's policy for Biographies of Living Persons (otherwise known as BLP). If a draft article doesn't follow this policy, it cannot be accepted for publication on Wikipedia; the same goes for draft articles that don't meet the notability requirements. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can help with. :) Pineapple Storage (talk) 07:10, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
