Question from Ahmed Afar on Wikipedia:Template documentation (20:17, 30 October 2024)

Afar community how many country ? --Ahmed Afar (talk) 20:17, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

Ahmed Afar, I'm not sure what you're asking. Do you have a question about editing the encyclopedia? Fritzmann (message me) 00:51, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from VitorSchorr (18:45, 31 October 2024)

Hi, how do i translate the references in a article?Is reasonable to leave in English or empty ? --VitorSchorr (talk) 18:45, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

VitorSchorr, are you translating into English or into another language? I don't know the guidelines on other language wikipedias, but on the English Wikipedia you definitely do need to have English-language references, and content without references may be challenged and removed.

Question from Raazi Khan Bugti (20:00, 1 November 2024)

I want to upload my biography --Raazi Khan Bugti (talk) 20:00, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

Raazi Khan Bugti, uploading your own biography is typically not allowed on Wikipedia. I recommend you take a look at these guidelines on what Wikipedia is not. If you have further questions about editing the encyclopedia, please feel free to let me know. Fritzmann (message me) 20:42, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Shivangi122 on Non-governmental organisations in India (14:31, 3 November 2024)

how to edit template table? --Shivangi122 (talk) 14:31, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Shivangi122, sorry for missing your earlier questions and thank you for your contributions so far. Because the references are "inline" the reference box cannot be edited. Instead, you need to go the part of the article that needs the reference and add it there. For an introduction on how to add a reference, see Help:Referencing for beginners, which will walk you through the process. If you have further questions, feel free to ask them here! Fritzmann (message me) 15:28, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from MohamoedKhaledZ010 (06:56, 4 November 2024)

Hi Fritzmann2002,

The article has now been placed in drafts after the discussion around it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Nabeel_Qadeer

What should be my next steps in terms of re-publishing it as an article. What aspects do I need to consider and take care of before doing that? --MohamoedKhaledZ010 (talk) 06:56, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

MohamoedKhaledZ010, I think the draft is already looking better. Some things to consider:

• I recommend finding sources for every claim in the article, or removing those claims
• Sources by companies, press releases, or other promotional material is generally discouraged. They should be used sparingly in the article and replaced by more reliable sources where possible.
• There are a lot of biased and promotional words in the article ("pioneering", "enhancing", "innovative", "democratize"). I recommend removing these and looking at other, already published articles on entrepreneurs (perhaps like Jamie Beaton, a Good Article) for what words and tone to use

Once you finish polishing the article and ensuring it follows our guidelines for biographies of living people and related policies, add "{{subst:submit}}" at the top of the page. This will send it to Articles for Creation, where it will eventually be reviewed and re-published. Fritzmann (message me) 19:34, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, @Fritzmann2002 - this has been of much help. Really appreciate your guidance. MohamoedKhaledZ010 (talk) 14:55, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Penstemon gentianoides

The article Penstemon gentianoides you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Penstemon gentianoides and Talk:Penstemon gentianoides/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Jens Lallensack -- Jens Lallensack (talk) 02:05, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Hey mentor, hope you could help me out

Hey there, I hope you're doing well. I had both my Radio Yugoslavia page removed and the Yugoslav Communist Pirate Party, despite me just adding and filling up sources - both of these are legitimate non-governmental organisations which I've been personally part of since 2010, however not only me, hundreds of people are members and contributors come (on Radio Yugoslavia) from the US, Germany, Russia, all the world basically. I'm not sure why somebody removed them both while I was doing some editing, maybe I should've finished the pages completely in Sandbox mode and after that publish them, but could you please check if we can get them back?

For America maybe 700-800 members for an pirate non-profit leftist organisation isn't too much, but for the Yugoslav region that's a lot and having our presence on Wikipedia will only help it grow for other fellow think-alikers, if that's a word.

Please let me know what you think is the best way to get those pages running. I have tons of references from dozen of sites that I was ready to add. Maybe it was the constantly adding/changing to the pages that put the fellow @Fram to revert the pages and warn me for vandalising? I mean? Radio Yugoslavia is the page that I was making, this redirect doesn't have anything to do with Radio Yugoslavia, etc, etc. I have tons of PDFs ranging from CIA themselves, to the Yugoslav government authorities, etc.

Cheers, all the best. P.S. @Fram I'm sorry I spammed with updates constantly, but on that note - that was completely my bad for getting out of the sandboxes, as I haven't edited on Wikipedia since 10s of years ago, for that I ask for forgiveness. But these pages should be online and not redirect to some others that haven't gotten a clue with what its being done, also, I promise that it won't happen again. Maybe finishing them up to a shiny level of viewing with references in the sandboxes, and after that trying again would be good enough?

Let me know what you fellas think. Thx. NemorosusMens (talk) 16:05, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

NemorosusMens, I think both Fram and asilvering gave pretty good explanations on Fram's talk page as to why those specific topics are probably not notable enough to warrant articles. I do highly encourage you to check out the wikiprojects that asilvering mentioned and contribute to existing articles about the Balkans region; there are a lot of content gaps there that would benefit greatly from someone with your enthusiasm and background. As a mentor I am happy to help with any further specific editing questions that you may have, so feel free to ask me when they come up! Fritzmann (message me) 19:22, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Ace000000 (11:53, 8 November 2024)

Hey, I am a bit new here, but I read quite a few statements which claim many huge things but there are no sources given, is it quite common? And how can I check if it is correct or just randomly added? --Ace000000 (talk) 11:53, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Ace000000, all statements made on wikipedia should be verifiable and referenced. If they are not, feel free to begin a discussion on the talk page of the article where they are mentioned. If no one objects, you can remove the uncited material. In general, if you don't see a blue citation note like [1], it is best to treat that with a degree of skepticism. Fritzmann (message me) 12:11, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

I see, thank you. While I already have begun a discussion on the talk page, I can't edit the article yet because it is semi-protected. Also, are there any other things I should know before I start editing the articles? I mainly get the basics but the fact that anyone can just create an account and edit many articles however they want is a bit... weird to me. Ace000000 (talk) 12:34, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Well, our tagline is "the encyclopedia anyone can edit". There are quite a lot of guidelines to be aware of, but as long as you stick to the guideline of editing in good faith and trying to improve the encyclopedia, you should be good. I am happy to help with more specific issues as you get further into the process. Fritzmann (message me) 12:58, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Penstemon gentianoides

The article Penstemon gentianoides you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Penstemon gentianoides for comments about the article, and Talk:Penstemon gentianoides/GA1 for the nomination. Well done! If the article is eligible to appear in the "Did you know" section of the Main Page, you can nominate it within the next seven days. Message delivered by ChristieBot, on behalf of Jens Lallensack -- Jens Lallensack (talk) 12:44, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Onion Pie Murder

Thank you again for your help as my mentor. Previously I mentioned my interest in the article Onion Pie Murder. I was going to make some edits to the article with some rewording. In the end I decided not to make the edits. Instead I wanted to start a talk page on the article (none appears to exist at present). My reason was that I found quite a bit in the article that I thought could be improved and I did not want to start editing a text that I think needs a more general revision.

I have carefully prepared my comments for the talk page but I am entirely new at this. My text appears in the window as a Wiki article would appear as I felt this would be the best way of presenting what I had to say. I want to be correct in the way I present my comments, and I'm wondering if there's a way I can send you what I've prepared for you to check as regards its presentation and suitability in a talk page.

Many thanks for your help in guiding me through things as I learn these basics. Equestor (talk) 07:53, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Equestor, you can preview that by putting it into your user sandbox (there's a link at the top of the page by your username. Once you do that let me know and I will be able to look at it as well and provide input. Fritzmann (message me) 18:43, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Many thanks for your help with this. I think I've done what's required for my sandbox:

User:Equestor/sandbox Equestor (talk) 19:08, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Equestor, looks very comprehensive. I think it is ready to be put on the talk page, just make sure you sign it at the end, and maybe have a short intro/TLDR (too long, didn't read) at the start. Fritzmann (message me) 20:33, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your help. I will add the intro you suggest and hope to complete everything tomorrow. I live near where this murder took place and I've taken a great interest in the people involved. 2A02:8012:D47D:0:4D22:F892:D610:7192 (talk) 20:44, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from SunshineSportsNetwork (22:36, 9 November 2024)

Hello Fritzmann2002.. I am new and just finding my way. Is it okay if I focus on citations needed edits and subjects local to where I live? --SunshineSportsNetwork (talk) 22:36, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

SunshineSportsNetwork, I think that is an excellent use of time. If you need further help please let me know and I will do my best to answer any questions you have. Fritzmann (message me) 18:45, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Wvutrey (20:41, 11 November 2024)

Hey I'm editing Morgantown high school volleyball state championship in 2023. But i did edit it but it's not showing Volleyball on there it's just saying 2023. --Wvutrey (talk) 20:41, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Wvutrey, I'm not seeing what the error is. When I look at the table, it has 2023 listed in the proper box next to Volleyball. Fritzmann (message me) 00:02, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Navboxes

Regarding your recent reverts at {{Ship classes of the Spanish Navy}} and {{Vorpostenboote Navbox}}, please note the following:

Red links

We should not include redlinks in navboxes like per WP:EXISTING and WP:WTAF. A navigation template is a grouping of links used in multiple related articles to facilitate navigation between those articles. Red links do not perform this function, especially when there are more red links than blue links per {{Vorpostenboote Navbox}}

Flags

Please see MOS:ICON and WP:NAVDECOR regarding the use of flags which states Specifically, there should be no national or regional flags or coats of arms.

Overlinking

Please do not link to general topics (such as training ships) in navboxes per WP:OVERLINK and WP:BIDIRECTIONAL. Topics linked in navboxes should be subject specific.

Thanks! --woodensuperman 12:29, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Peppyraindrop (14:24, 14 November 2024)

Hello! I just submitted an article for review but I want to make sure I have enough sources. Is there any set number I should be sure to include? --Peppyraindrop (talk) 14:24, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Peppyraindrop, I don't see any article that has been submitted under your user contributions. Did you work on it on another account? Fritzmann (message me) 19:56, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

I edited it from this account. It's called Uncloseted Media. That's weird it's not showing up! Peppyraindrop (talk) 13:17, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Peppyraindrop, from a first look at the article, it appears that the issue isn't with the number of sources, but with their reliability. For a Wikipedia article's subject to be considered notable enough to be published, they need to be represented in reliable sources. LinkedIn, for instance, is not reliable because it is self-published. That means that it should not be used, or should be used in very limited circumstances. press releases also fall into that category, as do most social media posts.

I also just want to make sure, are you a representative of this company, or associated with them in any way? Fritzmann (message me) 18:31, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Ahh. That makes sense. So it has to be things that are not self reported. So I should use a website source, like when the New York Times states their editor and chief on their website, instead of using the LinkedIn of the editor and chief?

And I took the NYU Journalism class from the founder if that counts as an association. Is that something I have to report/note somewhere? I am not being paid or recruited to write the article. Peppyraindrop (talk) 12:52, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Peppyraindrop, I would just note that on your user page, but the big thing is that you are not being paid to edit the article. And yes, New York Times would be an excellent source for the article! Fritzmann (message me) 14:03, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Awesome, thank you! Peppyraindrop (talk) 14:20, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from FourTwoZero420 (11:08, 15 November 2024)

How do i create links for my edits, i understand the citations have to be from reliable sources but i am unsure how to create links or hyperlinks --FourTwoZero420 (talk) 11:08, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

FourTwoZero420, thank you for your edits so far! I recommend you look at Help:Referencing for an introduction to the topic. I am happy to help if you are trying to add a reference in a specific place, or if you have a question on any step in the process. Fritzmann (message me) 16:26, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from FourTwoZero420 (17:22, 15 November 2024)

I have noticed a user OwOcast has been editing pages that i have edited also but says they have removed things that i have put that i never did but they used my username. Ufc 309 is the page they edited and removed things by me that were factual errors, the only thing is they removed things that i didnt even edit. --FourTwoZero420 (talk) 17:22, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

FourTwoZero420, it looks like they just reverted an IP editor to one of your revisions; they aren't saying you introduced errors but that the anonymous editor did. All of your edits look just fine from a quick look. Fritzmann (message me) 18:29, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Reverted an ip editor to one of my revisions? Sorry to ask but i don't understand what that means? FourTwoZero420 (talk) 18:33, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

FourTwoZero420, no worries, I am happy to break it down a bit more. Here's a step-through of what happened:

1. you made some good changes to the article
2. someone who is not logged-in (doesn't have an account, called an "IP editor") made a bad edit that added factual errors
3. another editor saw that the IP editor made a bad edit and undid it ("reverted"), taking the article back to the last edit you made
4. the message on the history tab shows that the IP editor was reverted and the article is now how you left it

If you have any more questions please let me know! Fritzmann (message me) 18:40, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for explaining, i appreciate it. FourTwoZero420 (talk) 18:42, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi. I just joined Wikipedia. My username is HawkfighterAlwaysReturns. I created an account called Hawkfighter222 but I accidentally messed up my email on my login so I had to create this account. I used to edit on Fandom (Wikipedia but for entertainment stuff) under the name Hawkfighter222 so I have a bit of experience. I also editing Wikipedia as an IP editor. I'd still be editing Fandom if it wasn't for a rather complicated account problem I brought myself into (long story). Anyways, I'll probably be asking you some questions about editing soon.

Question from Zeryen (15:14, 20 November 2024)

hi dear admin,

i would like to ask to you i can create new articles of wiki german but i can't do that on Wiki English

could you please help me on that issue

Sincerely --Zeryen (talk) 15:14, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Dear Zeryen, the article creation process is somewhat different in the English wikipedia, as are the requirements. I recommend looking at Help:My first article for an overview on how to get your first article published. It looks like you've submitted a draft to Articles for Creation; that is the best path forward, so make sure you take their feedback into account. If you would like me to review a draft before submission, I am happy to do so. Fritzmann (message me) 17:09, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Question

Just curious why I can't edit a typo on Administrative divisions of France. I noticed that while doing research for a project that inter-communal had no - between inter and communal. So I filed a report and a bot responded. Why do I do?

-Vestrix Vestrix (talk) 19:51, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Vestrix, I have reverted that edit that you just made because it appears to have added: "inter-communalinter-communalinter-communalinter-communalinter-communalinter-communalinter-communalinter-communalinter-communalinter-communal" before a section heading. That is not a productive edit, which is likely why your previous revisions were also reverted. Fritzmann (message me) 15:56, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Sorry! Didn't realize I did that! Vestrix (talk) 15:59, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Vestriz, no worries, just be aware that it is more often than not another editor who is looking at edits to make sure they are constructive. Leaving a polite message at that article's talk page and leaving them a ping is the best way to resolve any kind of dispute. Fritzmann (message me) 17:45, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Hey, I just made a new article called Bayeux Intercom and I was wondering, if you have time, if you could look over it and tell me mistakes I made. Thanks! Vestrix (talk) 22:08, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Vestrix, I did some minor cleanup. I recommend looking at Help:My first article which has a lot of information on how to create an article. It is a big step to make because of all of the requirements of a new article on Wikipedia. It definitely needs more references, could use an infobox, and there should be some prose text as well. Fritzmann (message me) 00:42, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Should I look to you or other articles of Inter-communalities for inspiration on prose text or should I come up with my own. Vestrix (talk) 03:52, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Vestrix, I can definitely help with some formatting stuff and if you have specific questions, but I'm certainly not an expert on the topic. WP:WikiProject France is a good resource to use, you can leave questions on that talk page too. Looking at other articles on intercommunalities is a great idea; there will probably be some good inspiration there. Fritzmann (message me) 00:36, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

hello, in revision history how do I see what has been changed / added, is there some kind of compare now and previous option? --G0mb022 (talk) 10:19, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

G0mb022, yep absolutely, you just need to click the little empty circles on the left side for the two revisions you want to compare, and then click "Compare selected revisions" at the top of the list. It will default to the two most recent revisions. Let me know if you have any other questions! Fritzmann (message me) 16:53, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

How do I create a public page for myself and my celebrity career --Crownking of africa (talk) 10:15, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Crownking of africa, wikipedia is not for self-promotion. You have a conflict of interest when writing about yourself, so please refrain from doing so. Fritzmann (message me) 16:55, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from GeorgeWL 1990 (11:52, 29 November 2024)

I'm curious, I made some edits anonymously before making an account, is there any way to attach those to my account? --GeorgeWL 1990 (talk) 11:52, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

GeorgeWL 1990, not that I am aware of. If you know the IP address, you can link to its contributions on your userpage, though. Fritzmann (message me) 20:41, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Editor.indi (05:30, 10 December 2024)

Hello There, I want to edit page VIBGYOR Group of Schools i have added the section for update in talk page but no one has read/replied. Can I edit the same directly? --Editor.indi (talk) 05:30, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Editor.indi, the article is partially protected, so you will have to wait for a response on the talk page. However, much of the info you have suggested is not encyclopedic or appropriate for the article, so I don't anticipate that it will be accepted. Fritzmann (message me) 04:12, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi mentor! Could you help me with an edit?

Hi there, Mentor!

Could you help me with an edit I'm trying to make for the wiki page of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. If you go to the "Talk" page, you will see what I tried to add.

I am a lawyer and currently working for a federal judge doing research and analysis.

I am new to being an editor with Wikipedia, but as a Type-A lover of facts that are supported by credible, authentic sources, I thought I'd give it a shot. After all, this is literally what I do for a living.

I suggested that we add something credible, relevant, and important to Mr. Kennedy's page. Please let me know what you think.
