Question from Majanuser (07:36, 15 April 2024)

Hello .. How can I be an administrative user so I can change a page title on Wikipeida? --Majanuser (talk) 07:36, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, you can rename any pages (we call it moving) once you're autoconfirmed, you don't require administrator access to do this (although if you do want info on how to become an administrator you can find that at WP:ADMIN).

To become autoconfirmed your account must be 4 days old and have made 10 edits. From looking at your account history you need to make 8 more edits. In the meantime, you can open a page move request and someone with the required permissions will review and perform the move if it is accepted.

Question from Bigy Billionz on User:Bigy Billionz (19:17, 18 April 2024)

Hi mentor.. How do I upload my picture?? --Bigy Billionz (talk) 19:17, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, you can visit WP:UPLOAD to upload any pictures, it'll guide you through the whole process there too :) Thanks, Encoded  Talk 💬 13:44, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from NightTokyo (16:49, 19 April 2024)

Hello! I'm new to wikipedia, but understand a bit how to edit data and have previously edited just without an account. I'm a community activist and write articles on my blog, when news from a reputable source is added -- sometimes I add it to the person. I have repeatedly encountered cleansing of "inconvenient" data, my changes were simply rolled back. what can I do about it and how do you advise me to fight it? after all, there are people who "protect" some oligarchs and corrupt officials from publishing data they don't want to publish, which they want to keep silent about --NightTokyo (talk) 16:49, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I've had a look at your edit history and I can't see any reverts, were you using another account or IP editing? If you're able to send the link to an alt account/IP account I can have a look and give some advice on that.

With regards to reverted edits in general, Wikipedia follows strict verifiability policy, meaning that all text must be verifiable by a reliable source, if you've sourced content correctly and it's being reverted you can revert it back (See WP:3RR first) and open a discussion on the talk page, feel free to tag me there if you need to do this and I can have a look too.

Many thanks, Encoded  Talk 💬 13:43, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from Zedwow (22:32, 19 April 2024)

Hi, so i was editing an article, and when i put the source it warned me of something? Like the source was like unreliable and all. Could i have an explanation please. Thanks. Zedwow (talk) 22:32, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from Havardperson (22:24, 27 April 2024)

Hi my mentor Lew, I am join Wekipedia member at now.

I have one question for edit Wikipeida, If occuring conflict with other member by reason of edit, which reaction i need for cleat conflict with other? --Havardperson (talk) 22:25, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, there's a number of ways to resolve conflict on Wikipedia. You should always start with option 1 and work your way up if necessary.

1. Discussion on the talk page / third opinion.

2. Specialised noticeboards.

3. Request for comments

4. Dispute resolution

You can learn more about dispute resolution at WP:DR and file a request if needed at WP:DRR. If you need any more help or would like me to help with a dispute please let me know.

Hope this helps, Encoded  Talk 💬 22:57, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from XrayNinerBravo (21:26, 24 April 2024)

Hi there, Sir! I am XrayNinerBravo, and you have been assigned as my mentor. How, in your personal experience, do you write in "encyclopedia grammar"? That is, how do you write good articles with grammar all can understand with unbiased views? --XrayNinerBravo (talk) 21:26, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi @XrayNinerBravo, welcome to Wikipedia!

I found that it's something that I learnt along the way, Wikipedia has a lot of policies and guidance regarding editing and the style of writing. Some great resources are WikiProject Grammar, the Manual of Style (policies and guidelines for writing), and there's also a tutorial on how to get started on the Wiki. If you'd like to send me an example edit/page you're looking to do I'd be happy to provide some feedback. With regards to unbiased views, WP:RS is the place to go - I'd recommend reading that first.

Hope this helps, Encoded  Talk 💬 16:07, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for your help! I'll be sure to take a look at it. XrayNinerBravo (talk) 16:45, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

No problem! If you have any other questions please feel free to send me a message! :) Encoded  Talk 💬 07:20, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the help. But another question I have is if I take a picture of something that is copyrighted or trademarked can I use it on wikipedia? Diapragm (talk) 14:24, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

It would depend specifically on what it is.

For example, if it's just an picture you've taken of a logo that would be copyrighted, if it's a picture you've taken of a logo on a building where the building is the main focus point that's (probably) fair use.

You are able to upload copyrighted content in specific circumstances, the policy regarding that is available here.

Do you have a specific example you'd like me to take a look at? This isn't my area of expertise but I'm happy to advise.

Question from Diapragm (13:49, 27 April 2024)

Hello, I'm trying to add a picture for the Natural Bridge Caverns in San Antonio of the caverns themselves in the infobox. Right now it only has the logo and I can't find an image of the caverns in Wikimedia. I have multiple pictures of the caverns that I took that I can use, but I'm just wondering how to upload them and how I can use them? And also how does the citation work when I took the picture versus if I find it on the internet? --Diapragm (talk) 13:49, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, you can upload images at WP:UPLOAD.

All images used on Wikipedia need to be under a license that we accept so that legally we can use them. If you took the image, you can decide the license yourself and use it freely wherever. If you didn't take the image, it'll need to aleady be under one of the accepted licenses. The file upload wizard I linked at the start of the message will run you through the entire process and add the required credit / license info to the picture, you can decide how you're credited and it'll show up when the image is clicked on.

You can use images anywhere like this: [[File:Example.jpg]]. There's an image button in the visual page editor which is much easier to use.

There's some examples of images I've uploaded here. There's 1 on there I took myself, the rest are from credited external authors.

Hope this helps, and if you have any further questions please feel free to send me a message. Encoded  Talk 💬 23:10, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Collen Mashawana article

Hi there, can you please check the Collen Mashawana page if it's written on neutral standpoint and kindly tag it for speedy deletion if it does not meet the 5 pillars of Wikipedia. I think this is a paid article.Bobbyshabangu _talk 16:23, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I'm unable to look at it right now but I've set a reminder and will have a look later today or tomorrow. I'll message back here when I've checked it. Thanks, Encoded  Talk 💬 16:26, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, there's not a speedy deletion criteria that this would match, and I think it is far more constructive to improve the article rather than delete it. I've tagged it for cleanup due to cite overkill, do you have any evidence that it may have been a paid article? If you do, I'm happy to tag the article and action on that.

What kind of protections are there? --Syringe Tiger (talk) 03:54, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

I’m assuming you’re asking about page protection, in which case the most common are semi, extended, full, interface, and template.

Question from Syringe Tiger (15:10, 27 April 2024)

Hello, what's a mentor? How can I become an administrator? --Syringe Tiger (talk) 15:10, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi, a mentor is someone who helps newcomers to the website with any questions they have.

To become an administrator:

You must have years of a good edit history that shows you understand Wikipedia policies, have good judgement, a good temperament, and have a need for the administrator toolset. A nomination is then made at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship where the community decides if the user deserves the tools. Honestly, you can do 95% of tasks on Wikipedia without being an administrator. (Quote from WP:ADFAQ#BECOME)

Hope this helps, Encoded  Talk 💬 22:52, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Suppose a very grumpy user has been promoted to administrator. By his grumpy attitude, what might they do? Syringe Tiger (talk) 15:58, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 8

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited OUTtv (Canadian TV channel), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page SVOD. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, --DPL bot (talk) 17:55, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

MOPAC COI edit request

Hi. Thank you for following through on the COI edit request on the MOPAC page. You appear to be rather experienced in these matters, so I'd also appreciate a bit of follow-up guidance. Now that it has been acted upon, my COI edit request has been removed from the queue, so it doesn't look like I need to take further action there. The change logs of the MOPAC Wikipedia entry now refer to both my sandbox page and the MOPAC talk page as references to my request and my draft version of the entry. Should I retain my note on the talk page and my sandbox draft, or should I now delete them and rely on Wikipedia's version control to retain a past record of them? In particular, you made a permalink to the sandbox draft - will that link to the relevant historical state of my sandbox if I now clear my sandbox? I don't want to break anything, but I also don't want to leave around unnecessary clutter :) Godotalgorithm (talk) 20:00, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Godotalgorithm, since it's removed from the queue/acted upon you can clear/blank your sandbox page for other uses - it won't break anything. The permalink I've put on the talk page is a link to that particular point in time on Wikipedia's page history system - It'll retain the historical version as seen when clicked on and won't be affected by any changes you make to your sandbox page. If you're interested you can learn more about permalinks at H:PERL.

Messages on talk pages should be left there, that is the general guidance across the website regardless of the talk page you're using. You don't need to take any further action on that edit request, you're welcome to open additional requests if you have more changes to make.

Hope that helps :) Encoded  Talk 💬 22:13, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from Berima Acheampong TV (21:42, 21 May 2024)

Can I write articles about artists --Berima Acheampong TV (talk) 21:42, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Berima Acheampong TV, you absolutely can! I'd recommend having a quick look at the biographies of living people policy first - it's a super long document but to sum it up: all content must be verifiable, meaning you must use reliable references to verify what you're saying about the artist is true; it must be written from a neutral point of view; and you must not use original research. This is required for articles about people.

Question from Seachange2000 (22:01, 30 May 2024)

Hi Lew. My name is Bruce Campbell. I have written an article about the history of a club that I have been in for over 60 years and I would like to publish it on Wikipedia. It’s quite difficult to figure out exactly where to start. The articles talk about editing. I just want to contribute an article which I have heavily edited already. --Seachange2000 (talk) 22:01, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Seachange2000, you can get started with creating a new Wikipedia article at the article wizard.

It'll guide you through the steps and give you some information about making a new article. You can write about what what you'd like to add to Wikipedia (for example, adding your existing content) once it's opened the editing screen and then submit it to be published. If you have any trouble with this let me know as I'm one of the reviewers for this process.

Since you're a member of the club, you have a conflict of interest, you're welcome to create the page but you'll need to disclose your conflict. The article wizard will guide you through this process.

If you have any trouble or have any further questions please feel free to message me. Hope this helps, Encoded  Talk 💬 23:21, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi again Lew and thank you for the advice. I tried tomake a start but have a couple of questions.

I have written my article using MS Word on an Mac. It is 18 A4 pages and has about 12 of my own photos. I clearly have a conflict of interest as I have been a Club member since 1958. I am also the guardian for the club minutes which is the main source of everything I have written. The photos are mine and have been collected over the last 60 years. So my question is this: Can I open my Word document, press Control C then paste the whole document into my Wiki article? Or do I have to reformat everything and re-insert the photos?

Your help is much appreciated.

Thank you,

Bruce Seachange2000 (talk) 04:40, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Hi Bruce, you are fine to create the draft for submission as long as your conflict is disclosed, some changes may be requested depending on the content and sources.

Secondary sources are preferred, if there's any you could find (newspapers, online news, books, etc) to put alongside the primary sources that will increase the change of it being approved. It increases the verifiability of the content.

You are fine to Control C+P the document provided you wrote it, it might clear the formatting depending on what the formatting is, and you will need to re-upload the images though. You can do this at Wikipedia:File upload wizard then use the insert image button on the editing screen.

MY WIKIPEDIA PROFILE IS MASSIVELY OUTDATED + IS CAUSING PUBLIC MEDIA PROBLEMS

Hi. I please and urgently need your assistance. For over a year, I have been in contact with Wiki and volunteers and have sent multiple news sources of information about me and my company. I have followed all the directions given and still have gotten no where. The old and outdated information is literally causing problems with media outlets I am interviewed on globally and is hurting my small female owned business.

The note about me not being significant enough on the top of my profile is also massively insulting and not accurate. Upon some digging, I think you'd find I appear on TV around the world, my shows are distributed around the world and I have a significant social following (500k+ on all our digital platforms).

For example the opening paragraph is work I did in 2012, there is almost nothing of the past 12 years which is significant. I am not a blogger! I am a travel journalist and an award-winning documentary filmmaker- my shows are seen all over the world.

The TV segments mentioned are all from before the pandemic, and I work in the travel industry, so the more recent ones post pandemic are more important to show how travel has shifted. I have also not taught at NYU since the pandemic - though I loved it, I have been traveling full time since June 2020 filming our shows SLEEPING AROUND SAFELY and OH THE PEOPLE YOU MEET with Michaela Guzy. None of our awards from film festivals appear. Even the conference that I spoke at and is mentioned is so old and pre-pandemic.

I am attaching a document with an accurate and updated bio and 18 third party media references to me and my company: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1d-c0lR2XokLS7kxleyNF2WyTbribi2eKEz880kqhTYE/edit?usp=sharing

How can this urgently be resolved? Thank you for your help. I have worked very hard to build my business and can't have old and inaccurate information damage it.

Thank you for your urgent attention,

Michaela

Michaelaguzy (talk) 17:57, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Michaelaguzy, I’m away from my computer right now (sending this from my phone) so am unable to action this right now. If you could copy the document you’ve linked across to the talk page of the article, and list any changes you’d like made there (you’ll need to provide reliable sources per Wikipedia’s policy - news outlets reporting on your work or any interviews you’ve done would be great in this case) I’m happy to help out as soon as I can. This is so that I can process it as an edit request and provide credit to you for the changes.

With regards to the notability tag, that can be taken down with additional reliable sources (see WP:GNG) - I’ll review this tag when I’m back and will remove if policy allows, I imagine with these additional edits it is highly likely that it will be removed if it cannot be already, and I apologise that it has made you feel insulted, I’m happy to help you get that taken off.

I've reworded/removed some sections that violated the WP:PROMO policy and there are still a number of issues with sources, since this article is about a person there's a very strict sourcing policy that needs to be followed. I've added tags to places where sources are needed, please see the link above. I'd highly recommend you to read WP:RS and know that social media (including YouTube) are not classed as reliable sources on Wikipedia. Sources should also be secondary (i.e. report on by an independent third party such as a news website), and not paid for or written by you or your team. Unfortunately I'm unable to access the FOX content as it's region blocked in the UK, if that meets these requirements please feel free to add it. I know it seems like a lot, but it's important that these policies are followed or else the article could be deleted altogether. You're welcome to edit the draft yourself if you'd like, since it's not in article space and will still be reviewed before going live this does not go against the COI policy. Where I've placed citation needed tags - if one citation covers multiple of these tags it can be used more than once. I hope that we're able to resolve the issues and bring your article up to date! :) Hope this helps, Encoded  Talk 💬 22:50, 10 May 2024 (UTC) I'm also going to have a look for some sources online myself tomorrow so hopefully I can help there too. Encoded  Talk 💬 22:51, 10 May 2024 (UTC) Hi! Thank you. I went in and added all the citations. For NYU I can send you a letter of my employment, but bc the course is no longer offered it is no longer on the website. Otherwise you should have more than enough 3rd party citations. How do I save the changes without publishing them? Michaelaguzy (talk) 19:09, 12 May 2024 (UTC) Hi @Michaelaguzy, the draft provided can be saved as if you are editing any normal page without publishing to your main article. When you're ready to submit for review and for it to be published, message me and I can start that process if you need. Whilst you have provided many third-party citations some of them do not meet the requirements of a reliable source. Please read WP:SOURCE. I also unfortunately do not have time to watch the interviews to insert them into the relevant places in the article, if you're able to do that I imagine they will take a large chunk of the areas that need sourcing. Thanks, Encoded  Talk 💬 11:20, 13 May 2024 (UTC) Hi. The page only gives me the option to publish and not to save. Do you see all the edits? I added third party sources for everything. These are major news outlets or travel industry news. I also put the sources directly next to CBS if it was the CBS news interview or my article on Thrive Global etc. Do you see? The only challenge re source as mentioned is my NYU Course which I taught until 2020, they don't keep old ciricculum up. I am happy to send my employment letter or I included my LinkedIn which shows the NYU logo and description and dates of my course. Thank you Michaelaguzy (talk) 16:23, 13 May 2024 (UTC) Here is a link to my employment letter from NYU, I don't think we should publish it though: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J9rrrJoDhHx4-X8NN_aanE1wyusvkBmrSUx4xqhNVY4/edit?usp=sharing Michaelaguzy (talk) 16:26, 13 May 2024 (UTC) [1] this link is where I added all the citations exactly behind what was being discussed (travel conference, tv segment etc). I couldn't figure out how to make it a little number so I copied the link directly into the copy. I also cant sort how to save, it only gives me the option to publish. Do you see all the edits I made? Everyone of your citation questions has been addressed on my end. I will copy and paste below. I also noticed that the first bit was old and repetitive to the updated bio, so I combined the sections. Thank you! Michaelaguzy (talk) 16:30, 13 May 2024 (UTC) Hi! Just wanted to check in.
