Question from Penwarlord (18:04, 16 April 2023)
Thank you mentor. Can I profile myself on Wikipedia? Like create a page for myself? --Penwarlord (talk) 18:04, 16 April 2023 (UTC)
- Hello, Penwarlord. You can, but only if you are covered in enough reliable sources to merit an article. To do so, you would create a draft article. You can find more information on how to include references to reliable sources that mention you in Help:Referencing for beginners. If you have more questions let me know.
- PS: Seeing as how you mention on your user page you are a muslim, ramadan mubarak. — Ixtal ( T / C ) ⁂ Non nobis solum. 18:36, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

A bowl of strawberries for you!

Thank you - here are some strawberries in return. If you enjoyed those (essays, presumably, not strawberries), you may also care to check up my academic writings about Wikipedia. Mostly accessible at Gscholar with open access mirrors at academia.edu and researchgate. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 16:28, 18 April 2023 (UTC) |
- I'll read them once I'm done with exams, Piotrus, now that I know of them. Thanks to my university I'm sure I'll be able to access them without an issue if they're not open access. — Ixtal ( T / C ) ⁂ Non nobis solum. 16:37, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
- PS: Strawberries appreciated! — Ixtal ( T / C ) ⁂ Non nobis solum. 16:38, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
