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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]
