Aquinas College Edacochin - Revision

[edit]

Aquinas College Edacochin, the redirected page is not fitting. actually its an independent page. kindly revert it to the original page rather than redirecting it o a false information thanks 2409:4073:4D03:E2E3:717E:DC28:D5D1:B255 (talk) 08:06, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is a redirect from a college to the university that it is accredited to. I don't see what is false about that. In any case, it is better than a blank page. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:07, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, i do appreciate what you have done, and there is nothing wrong in it. As it is a page of an institution, the page needs to give certain information like, history, accreditation and courses, notable alumni etc,which is missing in the page. i found certain information regarding the college in the previous edits, can it be reverted, rather than giving a redirect link to this main page ? What u suggest.
Thank You Lpraveenthomas (talk) 13:28, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Praveen, colleges on Wikipedia need to meet the standards mentioned at WP:NORG, which essentially means "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject". The last version of the page that wasn't a redirect did not meet those standards. If you are able to find such sources about this college, then I suggest that you start a draft at Draft:Aquinas College, Edacochin and submit it via WP:AFC. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 14:09, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ok.Thank you Lpraveenthomas (talk) 14:12, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from La Fiamma 59 (02:53, 20 October 2024)

[edit]

Hi There, I want to write a page about the history of our Sporting Club La Fiamma SC that was founded by my Father in 1959 --La Fiamma 59 (talk) 02:53, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@La Fiamma 59: Welcome to Wikipedia. I've left you a message on your talk page with a bunch of links. Please go through those when you get the time.
An issue needs to be taken care of before we proceed: Your username needs to be changed since it is the name of an organization. See WP:RENAME for instructions on how to get your username changed.
You'll want to go through H:YFA on how to start your article on the sporting club. Please pay attention to the this section, since you've said that the club was founded by your father.
If you are having trouble navigating and getting used to Wikipedia, then I suggest that you start (and finish) WP:TWA. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:42, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2024-43

[edit]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Weekly highlight

  • The Mobile Apps team has released an update to the iOS app's navigation, and it is now available in the latest App store version. The team added a new Profile menu that allows for easy access to editor features like Notifications and Watchlist from the Article view, and brings the "Donate" button into a more accessible place for users who are reading an article. This is the first phase of a larger planned navigation refresh to help the iOS app transition from a primarily reader-focused app, to an app that fully supports reading and editing. The Wikimedia Foundation has added more editing features and support for on-wiki communication based on volunteer requests in recent years.
iOS Wikipedia App's profile menu and contents

Updates for editors

  • Wikipedia readers can now download a browser extension to experiment with some early ideas on potential features that recommend articles for further reading, automatically summarize articles, and improve search functionality. For more details and to stay updated, check out the Web team's Content Discovery Experiments page and subscribe to their newsletter.
  • Later this month, logged-out editors of these 12 wikis will start to have temporary accounts created. The list may slightly change - some wikis may be removed but none will be added. Temporary account is a new type of user account. It enhances the logged-out editors' privacy and makes it easier for community members to communicate with them. If you maintain any tools, bots, or gadgets on these 12 wikis, and your software is using data about IP addresses or is available for logged-out users, please check if it needs to be updated to work with temporary accounts. Guidance on how to update the code is available. Read more about the deployment plan across all wikis.
  • View all 33 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, the South Ndebele, Pannonian Rusyn, Obolo, Iban and Tai Nüa Wikipedia languages were created last week. [1][2][3][4][5]
  • It is now possible to create functions on Wikifunctions using Wikidata lexemes, through the new Wikidata lexeme type launched last week. When you go to one of these functions, the user interface provides a lexeme selector that helps you pick a lexeme from Wikidata that matches the word you type. After hitting run, your selected lexeme is retrieved from Wikidata, transformed into a Wikidata lexeme type, and passed into the selected function. Read more about this in the latest Wikifunctions newsletter.

Updates for technical contributors

  • Advanced item Users of the Wikimedia sites can now format dates more easily in different languages with the new {{#timef:…}} parser function. For example, {{#timef:now|date|en}} will show as "10 November 2024". Previously, {{#time:…}} could be used to format dates, but this required knowledge of the order of the time and date components and their intervening punctuation. #timef (or #timefl for local time) provides access to the standard date formats that MediaWiki uses in its user interface. This may help to simplify some templates on multi-lingual wikis like Commons and Meta. [6][7]
  • Advanced item Commons and Meta users can now efficiently retrieve the user's language using {{USERLANGUAGE}} instead of using {{int:lang}}. [8]
  • The Product and Tech Advisory Council (PTAC) now has its pilot members with representation across Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America. They will work to address the Movement Strategy's Technology Council initiative of having a co-defined and more resilient technological platform. [9]

In depth

  • The latest quarterly Growth newsletter is available. It includes: an upcoming Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module, new Community Configuration options, and details on new projects.
  • The Wikimedia Foundation is now an official partner of the CVE program, which is an international effort to catalog publicly disclosed cybersecurity vulnerabilities. This partnership will allow the Security Team to instantly publish common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) records that are affecting MediaWiki core, extensions, and skins, along with any other code the Foundation is a steward of.
  • The Community Wishlist is now testing machine translations for Wishlist content. Volunteers can now read machine-translated versions of wishes and dive into discussions even before translators arrive to translate content.

Question from JonkaLakrits (21:22, 21 October 2024)

[edit]

Hi! I joined to add some information about Town: Eskilstuna in Sweden, aswell as to update the list of Firms/(earlier, inactive Firms of Eskilstuna, in terms of Football Firms/Hooligans) but as a new user i could not add any information to that article. I will take the Tutorial once i have the time for it. Just wanted to share the information:

ESE (Eskilstuna Street Elit) active 2005-2009. Listed in Police records as criminal group, with several members charged with Assault, Robbery and Racketeering. 2006 One member was charged with the crime "Conspiracy to commit Murder" and later acquitted by Court of Law, Eskilstuna Tingsrätt. That suspicion charge was enough for the Police to get clearance to put together a special "Anti-Gang" task force by the end of 2006. With commitment by Socialtjänsten(Social Services), Skatteverket(Sweden's Tax agency) Åklagar kammaren(Prosecutor chambers) and the Police force in Södermanland and Stockholm Län

In the summer of 2009 the special task force had successfully eradicated the "ESE" gang. Many members of the old gang assimilated with various Motorcycle clubs across Svealand(Mid-Sweden) By 2024 many of the previous "ESE" members are serving prison time in Sweden and across Europe for various crimes ranging from Theft, Fraud and Murder. --JonkaLakrits (talk) 21:22, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator Elections: Discussion phase

[edit]
Administrator Elections | Discussion phase

The discussion phase of the October 2024 administrator elections is officially open. As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

  • October 22–24 - Discussion phase
  • October 25–31 - SecurePoll voting phase
  • November 1–? - Scrutineering phase

During October 22–24, we will be in the discussion phase. The candidate subpages will open to questions and comments from everyone, in the same style as a request for adminship. You may discuss the candidates at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/October 2024/Discussion phase.

On October 25, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote tallies cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's tally during the election. The suffrage requirements are different from those at RFA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for an indeterminate amount of time, perhaps a week or two. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose). As this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

Black Souls (video game) moved to draftspace

[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to Black Souls (video game). Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it has no sources and it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. BastianMAT (talk) 15:33, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@BastianMAT: I just made a minor fix to the page, so I'm not as invested as the creator. But, I think you draftified too early. Per WP:DRAFTNO, you aren't supposed to draftify if there have been any constructive edits in the past hour. In this case, it had been less than 10 minutes since the page was even created. Since you are using my script to draftify, I know that there is a big red warning shown under such circumstances. Please heed it the next time you draftify. Thanks and happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 15:39, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I was under impression that it had been 1 hour and 10 minutes since the last edit, with no sources being presented a draft seemed appropriate, my mistake. Thank you for the great script! @MPGuy2824: BastianMAT (talk) 15:54, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Promotion of List of parliamentary constituencies of Nepal

[edit]
Congratulations, MPGuy2824! The list you nominated, List of parliamentary constituencies of Nepal, has been promoted to featured status, recognizing it as one of the best lists on Wikipedia. The nomination discussion has been archived.
This is a rare accomplishment and you should be proud. If you would like, you may nominate it to appear on the Main page as Today's featured list. Keep up the great work! Cheers, PresN (talk) via FACBot (talk) 00:26, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Derapur Assembly constituency

[edit]

Greetings

Can you create Derapur Assembly constituency with the list of its MLAs. This was a constituency of Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly in Kanpur Dehat region. It ceased to exist after delimitation. Also, tell me source from where I can find the history of constituencies i.e MLAs elected to it in past. Adamantine123 (talk) 02:49, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Adamantine, I've started the article at Derapur Assembly constituency. Feel free to improve it. The ECI's site is the most reliable for getting election results IMO. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:09, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for link. I will copy it. I can see it has result of all elections of all states. Adamantine123 (talk) 07:52, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I almost finished the names of MLAs in this article but I am not finding source and names of the MLAs for three years which I left. Adamantine123 (talk) 10:14, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I added the names from the ECI results. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 10:24, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Rayinde11 (10:03, 27 October 2024)

[edit]

I recently moved my draft about Muhammad Kamalud-Deen Al-Adaby to the main article space. However, when i search for it on my browser it's display there was a problem displaying this page --Rayinde11 (talk) 10:03, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rayinde11: Where are you searching for it? On Wikipedia? I can see it in these results. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 10:05, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your response! I've confirmed that the article exists on Wikipedia, but when I searched for it in my web browser, it doesn't show up yet. Rayinde11 (talk) 10:33, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, got it. That requires indexing by search engines, which is only done after the article is patrolled. New pages patrol has a backlog of over 10,000 articles right now, but a reviewer will get to it eventually. Meanwhile you can improve on the article OR work on other things within Wikipedia (e.g. Wikipedia:Task Center). Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 11:22, 27 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the clarification! I'll keep making improvements to the article while I wait for it to be patrolled. I'll also look into other tasks on Wikipedia in the meantime. Appreciate the advice. Rayinde11 (talk) 15:29, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi MPGuy2824! Thanks for the advice. I noticed that the article still isn’t appearing in search engine results, even though it shows up within Wikipedia’s search. Rayinde11 (talk) 05:41, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Rayinde11, it will take some time. It's hard to find reviewers who know the subject. Meanwhile, our backlog has increased to 11,000 articles. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:57, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Some error

[edit]

In 1996 Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly election, the list of elected MLAs says that Vikramjeet Maurya was elected from Nawabganj Assembly constituency. When I visited his biography it also says that he was elected that year from Nawabganj and that constituency is now called Phaphamau Assembly constituency. But, in the Nawabganj Assembly constituency article, I can see a different name of the candidate who was elected that year. Adamantine123 (talk) 02:43, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There seem to be 3 different Nawabganj constituencies in the 1996 UP election. Probably one of the causes of confusion.Another option could be vandalism or an good-faith mistake made by an editor. If you can figure out the issue and fix it, then great. Otherwise I can help after some time. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:28, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Updates for editors

Updates for technical contributors

  • Wikis can use the Guided Tour extension to help newcomers understand how to edit. The Guided Tours extension now works with dark mode. Guided Tour maintainers can check their tours to see that nothing looks odd. They can also set emitTransitionOnStep to true to fix an old bug. They can use the new flag allowAutomaticBack to avoid back-buttons they don't want. [11]
  • Administrators in the Wikimedia projects who use the Nuke Extension will notice that mass deletions done with this tool have the "Nuke" tag. This change will make reviewing and analyzing deletions performed with the tool easier. [12]

Hi. I was wondering if you could help me learn where to put thing i want or need to add --Maddygmoney (talk) 22:54, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Maddygmoney: Welcome to Wikipedia. I suggest that you start and complete WP:TWA. It would help you understand various aspects of Wikipedia. Do come back here if/when you have more questions after that. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:14, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Rightmostdoor6 (18:51, 30 October 2024)

[edit]

Hi, good evening. I had a query. There is a certain piece of info that I have with the proper approved documents that needs to be changes in a certain page. After i changed it, it got reverted and the change was no longer there. How is that I can bring about the change since the info that I have is accurate. Would be great if you could guide --Rightmostdoor6 (talk) 18:51, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rightmostdoor6: Welcome to Wikipedia. I notice that quite a few of your earlier edits have been reverted. Could you point to the one where you have changed information and added a reliable source? Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 03:05, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, there is a page . In that the eaeliest attestation date of the Marathi language is 8th century CE. But it is incorrect since the government of India has produced an official document that affirms the date of the year 2,200 BCE i.e. late 3rd century BCE. I even attached the official document that has the latest correct info. The link is below for reference -
[13]https://pib.gov.in/FeaturesDeatils.aspx?NoteId=153318&ModuleId+=+2&reg=3&lang=1
Also i corrected some grammatical errors under the 'criteria of 2024' section but even those were reverted. Rightmostdoor6 (talk) 08:10, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
earliest* attestation date. Apologies for the typo Rightmostdoor6 (talk) 08:11, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've noticed a few of your older edits don't have edit summaries. Please try to always add those, explaining your reasoning for the addition/deletion. Also, on Wikipedia, we try to follow WP:BRD. Since the bold and revert parts of those are already done, you should start a discussion on the article's talk page with the editors who reverted your edits. Try to discuss only one point at a time starting with what you consider to be the most important. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 08:49, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok sure thanks, henceforth i'll make an edit summary and yes i did not change it back after it was reverted. Also thanks for pointing it out Rightmostdoor6 (talk) 08:57, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No need to Send me Deletion Message of Educational Institute articles

[edit]

Hi.. I (user:Soumitrahazra) found that you have recently proposed many educational institute related articles for deletion because of lacking notability criteria. I agree with you that most of the Indian educational institutes related articles lack notability. Previously there is no such notability criteria for educational institutes. It was believed that as educational institutes are responsible for the knowledge creation of future generations, they are by default notable. However, some wikipedians argued that most of the educational institutes are not notable because they do not have any newspaper or third party coverage. Eventually they are able to make it a rule. This rule highly favored the educational institutes of Europe and USA. In USA and Europe, their newspapers cover almost every school, college, university sports and their achievements. Because of that almost every educational institute (even a primary school) have a significant coverage. Most of the USA/Europe newspapers publish at least one page of their newspaper on educational institutes. That's not the case for India. Indian newspapers (even local) do not publish much on educational institute... as a country we ignore the education. Indian newspapers are full of politicians, murder, scandal etc. It is very difficult to find out newspaper coverage of a school in India. Because of that rule almost 99 % Indian educational institutes are not notable and lacks the criteria.

Once upon a time I created many educational institute related articles, that time there was no such criteria. Nowadays I am not an active Wikipedian anymore. I also do not have any interest on wikipedia. I sometimes create newly established university, medical college, engineering college related articles...even some of them lacks notability criteria. If someone wants to delete all of them... I have nothing to say. However, I think these articles are better to keep...if someone asks a student about their school, they can at least search wikipedia and give some answer. I live in USA, every student do the same. Indian students simply can not say anything. I do not know why some wikipedians made that rule....It is a cultural difference issue...If a politician or village articles can stay in wikipedia without notability, why not an educational institute. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soumitrahazra (talk • contribs) 12:59, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Soumitrahazra, So, knowing that your creations don’t meet our notability criteria, you still keep creating those articles and continue to abuse the Autopatrolled right. Could you please respond to this message on your talk page? GrabUp - Talk 13:06, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I do not think I abused. In recent years, I generally try to provide at least one or two reliable newspaper coverage and one additional coverage from some affiliation entity (like UGC, NMC etc). Before that there is no such rule. Only few cases, you will find just one you tube link. Again for medical college, National Medical Commission list is very worthy and reliable. You are also doing Redirect of some college to their parent university. That is also not the case in case of Indian context. In Indian context, affiliating university just arrange the exam...they have nothing to do with the administration of the college. Affiliating medical universities also do not provide any degree courses, sometimes they are just a building like a board/council. Every college needs affiliation from UGC, AICTE etc... you can not redirect all of them to UGC/AICTE. Soumitrahazra (talk) 17:01, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Again notability is very difficult to judge. It varies from person to person perspective. One can say only educational institutes who have Nobel prize winner are notable. However, in wikipedia, newspaper (local or global) coverage is agreed to be a criteria for notability. Soumitrahazra (talk) 17:04, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You may say whether the newspaper is reliable. Wikipedia by default accepts only reliable newspaper. If you try to cite any unreliable newspaper, wikipedia will automatically remove that. Soumitrahazra (talk) 17:09, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
However, I am against #Redirect to parent university. That means we are providing a wrong information to a global community. It is thus better to delete not redirect. Soumitrahazra (talk) 17:12, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Soumitrahazra: So, do you think your creations are meeting notability guidelines? If not, then it’s clearly an abuse of the AP flag. You mentioned providing two newspapers in your recent creations, but those are just passing mentions, not what’s required to meet WP:NSCHOOL or WP:GNG. We need in-depth coverage of the institute to establish notability, not passing mentions. I urge you to request the removal of your AP flag yourself, or I will take this to ANI, where a wider community of editors may get involved. Redirecting is a valid thing per WP:ATD and we are doining it by consensus. GrabUp - Talk 17:37, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Soumitra, I urge you to reply to GrabUp (either here or on your talk page).
I use Twinkle for PROD tagging. It is recommended to contact the page's creator when doing so, but Twinkle does not show the creator's username in such cases. I will try to remember to uncheck the relevant box for Indian educational institutions, since I think that is the majority of your past creations. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 13:27, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Coolstuff0514: Welcome to wikipedia. Did you want to create a wiki page? If so, you should check out Help:YFA. Creating a whole wiki is a much more complicated process. Come back here to reply if this was what you really meant. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:20, 3 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weird taxobox

[edit]

Thanks for your help fixing the taxobox here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kakaduacris

Could you help us fix this taxon box too? Not sure what we are doing wrong! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stropis

Would love to know what I'm doing wrong here.

Thanks!

  1. The taxon in the article itself needed to be set to the genus name only: [14]
  2. A taxon template needed to be created, by clicking the "fix" link: Template:Taxonomy/Stropis
That's all. Thanks for creating these genus articles. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 06:57, 4 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Tech News: 2024-45

[edit]

Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.

Updates for editors

  • Stewards can now make global account blocks cause global autoblocks. This will assist stewards in preventing abuse from users who have been globally blocked. This includes preventing globally blocked temporary accounts from exiting their session or switching browsers to make subsequent edits for 24 hours. Previously, temporary accounts could exit their current session or switch browsers to continue editing. This is an anti-abuse tool improvement for the Temporary Accounts project. You can read more about the progress on key features for temporary accounts. [15]
  • Wikis that have the CampaignEvents extension enabled can now use the Collaboration List feature. This list provides a new, easy way for contributors to learn about WikiProjects on their wikis. Thanks to the Campaign team for this work that is part of the 2024/25 annual plan. If you are interested in bringing the CampaignEvents extension to your wiki, you can follow these steps or you can reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for help.
  • The text color for red links will be slightly changed later this week to improve their contrast in light mode. [16]
  • View all 32 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, on multilingual wikis, users can now hide translations from the WhatLinksHere special page.

Updates for technical contributors

  • XML data dumps have been temporarily paused whilst a bug is investigated. [17]

In depth

  • Temporary Accounts have been deployed to six wikis; thanks to the Trust and Safety Product team for this work, you can read about the deployment plans. Beginning next week, Temporary Accounts will also be enabled on seven other projects. If you are active on these wikis and need help migrating your tools, please reach out to User:Udehb-WMF for assistance.
  • The latest quarterly Language and Internationalization newsletter is available. It includes: New languages supported in translatewiki or in MediaWiki; New keyboard input methods for some languages; details about recent and upcoming meetings, and more.

Meetings and events

  • MediaWiki Users and Developers Conference Fall 2024 is happening in Vienna, Austria and online from 4 to 6 November 2024. The conference will feature discussions around the usage of MediaWiki software by and within companies in different industries and will inspire and onboard new users.

Question from Николай зайцев (09:29, 6 November 2024)

[edit]

Арсен Павлов, более известный как Моторола, — это двоюродный брат Николая Ивановича Зайцева. Он родился 14 января 1993 года в Покровке, Октябрьском районе Приморского края. --Николай зайцев (talk) 09:29, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Николай зайцев: This guy: Arsen Pavlov? He seems to have been born in 1983. But so what? Why are you telling me this? Also, stop vandalising Pietro Giachino. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 09:51, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GEICO 500

[edit]

Did you check the templates when converting GEICO 500 in a disambiguation page? The Banner talk 11:59, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are two currently running GEICO 500s. It isn't obvious which one to link to. I've restored the redirect. Hopefully folks switch links to the target soon, after which someone can convert this into a disambig page. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 12:16, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Sharpeye infotech (09:17, 8 November 2024)

[edit]

hi can we create a page here --Sharpeye infotech (talk) 09:17, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Sharpeye infotech: I would suggest that you change your username. I've left a note on your talk page explaining why. That said, look at Help:YFA to find out how to start an article. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 10:55, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

thanks --Sharpeye infotech (talk) 09:48, 8 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, you've been blocked and a kind admin has removed the mobile number from this section. I suggest that you read all the links in your block message over the next couple of days, then craft an unblock request along with the suggestion for a new username that does not violate Wikipedia's Username policy. Take your time on this. Doing it hastily isn't going to help you. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:43, 9 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
