Question from Rowanangus (03:15, 30 July 2024)

[edit]

Hi, 

   I have used wikis in the past, but I have never edited wikipedia. I have a small bit of information I'd like to add to the article on northbridge chips (one or two sentences), but I have no particular interest in taking credit for the edit. Should I make the suggestion on the talk page for the article, or should I just forge ahead and make the edit myself? --Rowanangus (talk) 03:15, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Rowanangus. Welcome to Wikipedia! I'd recommend being bold to make the changes. If others have questions about your edits, make sure to discuss them! See also Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle 94rain Talk 07:03, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Socksoup (16:03, 17 September 2024)

[edit]

Hi 94Rain, My submission was just declined and I am trying to determine what I need to do to change it. I have removed a peacock word (remarkable) and I have changed a sentence, but I feel like there are more things that are needed to make the submission acceptable or encyclopedia format as Qnce (editor) suggested it should be. --Socksoup (talk) 16:03, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Suryapolina (04:10, 18 September 2024)

[edit]

Hello, how many edits does it take to have editing privileges ? --Suryapolina (talk) 04:10, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Suryapolina. Welcome to Wikipedia! Wikipedia is built on the principle that anyone can edit and therefore aims to have as many pages as possible open for public editing. In some circumstances, pages may need to be protected from modification by certain groups of editors. You can find details about protection levels here: Wikipedia:Protection_policy#Comparison_table. 94rain Talk 01:58, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
