Autopatrolled granted

Hi Rkieferbaum, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! Schwede66 18:51, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

November Articles for creation backlog drive

Hello Rkieferbaum:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 2 months outstanding reviews from the current 4+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 November 2023 through 30 November 2023.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over 1100 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Language and literature

Lyric poetry genre FIONA WILFRED (talk) 09:16, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Question from FIONA WILFRED on Poetry (09:17, 9 November 2023)

Hi Can you help me with the full article of the Lyric poetry in the form of literature please. --FIONA WILFRED (talk) 09:17, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

@FIONA WILFRED: Hi there! How are you doing? Sure, I'll be happy to help you with that. I'm not quite sure, though, whether the topic you're proposing merits a standalone article or if it could be a section in an existing article. Would you like to use your Sandbox (see the link to it on the top of your screen) to propose a first draft and let me know wnen you're done so that I can take a look and we can discuss it further?

Question from Bob Flesher Uke on Talk:Uke, Nigeria (16:40, 12 November 2023)

Hello, Uke is a home of hospitality for all and sundry. This popular saying is well understood by Ndi Uke Nile..(onye amuro uke, Uke eke eh ya.) --Bob Flesher Uke (talk) 16:40, 12 November 2023 (UTC)

@Bob Flesher Uke: Hello there! I'm very glad to hear. I'll try to add some information to that article. Would you like some help to try and edit it yourself as well? I'm happy to help! All the best. Rkieferbaum (talk) 00:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Question from Hayini (20:24, 17 November 2023)

can i right down a story about my life experience?? --Hayini (talk) 20:24, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

@Hayini: no, Wikipedia isn't social media if that's what you're looking for. Wikipedia is for organizing and summarizing relevant information that has been published elsewhere. Does that answer your question or did you have anything specific in mind? Rkieferbaum (talk) 20:38, 17 November 2023 (UTC)

Question from Marcus6276 (04:29, 18 November 2023)

Hey, at what point is an article no longer a stub? I've been editing an article a lot recently to the point where I don't think the stub label fits anymore. What do I do next? --Marcus6276 (talk) 04:29, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

Question from CelticBlue2u (09:36, 18 November 2023)

Hello, I have been battling to get this page up and running about an author. I seem to have run afoul of the system and failed. I am exhausted. Any productive help would be appreciated. Cheers. --CelticBlue2u (talk) 09:36, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

@CelticBlue2u: his there! Do you mean Rick Treon? It seems you copied parts of the text from their website, which is not acceptable (it violates copyright). Copyrighted material should be replaced with direct or indirect quoting or paraphrasing, depending on the context. The text also reads as advertising and isn't neutral (which is natural since it was taken from the author's own website, apparently. I'll be glad to help you with any of that, but I need some indication from you that you're willing to work on those points. Cheers. Rkieferbaum (talk) 14:08, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Question from HEMANT AASHIQ (17:21, 19 November 2023)

I live at Bihar (Nawada) --HEMANT AASHIQ (talk) 17:21, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

@HEMANT AASHIQ: that's interesting! Are you interested in contributing to Wikipedia? Rkieferbaum (talk) 14:09, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Question from Montaigneux (12:28, 20 November 2023)

Hello Sir,

Thank you very much, I have merely suggested the removal of a no longer required cleanup-tag. That was not difficult but sensible, as it might have created an awkward and unwarranted suspicion concerning the content of the well written and fully referenced article. When I shall wish to do something more complicated I will gratefully take your offer. Best wishes, Danyel --Montaigneux (talk) 12:28, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

@Montaigneux: that is reasonable. Please let me know if I can help you with anything at all. Cheers. Rkieferbaum (talk) 14:10, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

Question from WikiExplorerAbhi (17:13, 22 November 2023)

Hello as i found there is a lot of title mistakes how can i upfte it for the better undertsnading --WikiExplorerAbhi (talk) 17:13, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

@WikiExplorerAbhi: hi there. By title mistakes do you mean articles that are incorrectly titled? Of course we should fix that. Can you give me a few examples so that I can examine the issue? Rkieferbaum (talk) 17:48, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

like Vivekanada College

it has to be Shri Vivekananda College of arts and Science

Saint Philomena College its St Philomena College Puttur nd so on WikiExplorerAbhi (talk) 17:50, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

@WikiExplorerAbhi: I'll try to take a look when I can. Do you think it might have something to do with alternate spellings or are those clear clerical errors? Rkieferbaum (talk) 18:52, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

yes clerical error it is WikiExplorerAbhi (talk) 02:30, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
