Question from Abu ogah (23:43, 2 January 2024)

Hello Sir. I am trying to create a Wikepedia page for my boss you is a former legislator in Nigeria and currently embarking on philanthropy projects. I will really appreciate your kind assistance on doing this assignment. --Abu ogah (talk) 23:43, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello! If you are being paid to contribute to Wikipedia, please ensure you comply with the requirements of WP:PAID and also that your Conflict of interest with anyone or anything you plan to write about is disclosed properly. If articles already exist and you are seeking to improve them, use Wikipedia:Edit requests. If articles do not currently exist and you want to create new articles, use the Wikipedia:Articles for creation process. Both of these methods will allow you to have your work reviewed by independent editors. Iffy★Chat -- 00:05, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Faridmoghadam (16:10, 3 January 2024)

HI lffy hope to find you fine. I am fluent in Persian and Arabic at the same time. Along with the English pages, can I easily edit and correct the Persian pages if I see something wrong? Is there a problem with my user account in terms of the rules? --Faridmoghadam (talk) 16:10, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from YakshPatel1501 (09:53, 20 January 2024)

Hello! I want to write an article on wikipedia but my english is not very good is it okay if I write articles with grammatical mistakes? --YakshPatel1501 (talk) 09:53, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Welcome! Many users on Wikipedia like you have English as a second, third, or fourth language and are very much welcome to contribute. While spelling and grammar mistakes are something to be avoided, other editors can fix these later, so don't let an imperfect knowledge of the English language discourage you from improving the encyclopedia.

Hello, how may I customise my signature like some other users? Thank you for your time. --Youprayteas (talk) 18:12, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello! You can find out more about signatures on Wikipedua, including how to edit them at Wikipedia:Signatures. Iffy★Chat -- 18:40, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much, I was unaware of that page. Cheers! Youprayteas (talk) 14:32, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Also sorry to bother, but I created the pages Gündoğan, Bodrum and Ardahan Castle. They both exist in the Turkish wiki aswell. How may it be possible to show that the article exists in the other languages? Currently it just says no other languages. Youprayteas (talk) 15:01, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

When viewing the page here on English Wikipedia, On the right "Tools" menu, select "Add interlanguage links". On the popup that appears, type in the language and project code ("trwiki" for Turkish Wikipedia) in the language box, the name of the page on the other wiki in the page box, then press the "Link with page" button. Iffy★Chat -- 15:10, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Question from JerseyRingo (12:03, 18 February 2024)

Hello, thanks for being there. I was trying to update details on a page of an author I admire after listening to a recent podcast interview that was released. a lot of details of his writing history were shared and I thought I should update his Wiki page with those added details (the first time that I ever attempted to edit anything on Wiki). I was altered that I should not have done these edits and that I was approaching an editing battle! OH MY! That is not my purpose at all!! So, how should I approach this? I thought you just go in and change (or add) content and link the citation to the edit...no? Is there something more (or a first step I missed) that I should have done as a first step? --JerseyRingo (talk) 12:03, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

The first step to improving Wikipedia is to be bold, which is exactly what you did. Most of the time, bold edits are accepted by others and that's the end of the matter. Some of the time, as happened here, bold edits are disputed and the edit gets reverted. After your edit was reverted, the next step in the standard dispute resolution process is to discuss the matter on the talk page of the author in question. See Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle for further details. Iffy★Chat -- 12:16, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for disclosing that you are paid to edit Wikipedia. Before you make any more edits, you must ensure you are fully compliant with WP:PAID, as this requirement comes from the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use. Paid editors should not edit the articles directly, but should discuss the proposed changes on the talk page of the article and allow independent editors to review the changes.

Question from Wworger (20:01, 20 March 2024)

My co-author and I have recently (2024) published a new book about the Sharpeville Massacre of 21 March 1960. Using police documentation in the South African archives we have been able to show that considerably more people were killed (at least 91 and not 69) and injured (at least 238 and not 180) by the South African police that day. My question is should I go into the Sharpeville 1960 page and start making changes or is ther a more formal approach to adopt since the issue of numbers is of considerable importance, especially given that tomorrow is the 64th anniversary of the massacre? --Wworger (talk) 20:01, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello! What you have done is original research and should not be added to Wikipedia by those that conducted the research. If you have been able to get your research published in a reliable source, then you can consider making an edit request to allow independent editors to consider the proposed changes.

Question from Dr. Faizal Bawa (13:17, 24 March 2024)

Hello Iffy;

I am a physician and Assistant Professor in Muskoka, affiliated with our local hospital, and the Northern Ontario School of Medicine. I published an article in the peer-reviewed Canadian Family Physician journal a few years ago, reflecting my description of the "Human Limitation Principle". This fusion of medicine, combined with the basic concepts of quantum physics, is what I would like to explore in my proposed Wiki Page.

My March 2007 article can be sited as well as other relevant information.

I was hoping for your assistance in this capacity, considering your experience and knowledge.

Thank you kindly. Dr. Faizal Bawa MD CCFP Asst. Prof. NOSM --Dr. Faizal Bawa (talk) 13:17, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from INFODOMAIN100 (18:57, 24 April 2024)

Hi, I just wanted to ask you about my first article, I just did a litle revision and I was wandering how long takes the review process. --INFODOMAIN100 (talk) 18:57, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Welcome! I've added a template to the top of User:INFODOMAIN100/sandbox; when you think your draft is ready for review, press the "Submit your draft for review!" button. Before you submit for review, you should translate the article in to English, as this is the English Wikipedia, not the Spanish Wikipedia; also, you should cite your sources, so that reviewers can see why the subject of the article is notable and therefore sutable for inclusion on Wikipedia. Reviews can take any length of time, from hours to months, as reviews are not done in any specific order. Iffy★Chat -- 19:28, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from Evedrivee (11:11, 28 April 2024)

Hello! I can't guarantee that your draft will be approved when submitted, but after taking a quick look at it, I don't see any major issues that would cause a quick rejection. You can keep improving your draft even while you wait for a review. Iffy★Chat -- 12:13, 28 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from Rhefley (13:49, 30 May 2024)

Hello, I made a factual edit to an article and it was later reverted, and I disagree with the reasoning given for the reversion. What is the proper way to dispute the reversion? I made the same edit again and explained why I believe the reversion was a mistake in my edit description, but I am not sure if that is the best way. --Rhefley (talk) 13:49, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello! The most common method to resolve disputes such as this one is to follow the WP:BRD process. After your edit has been reverted, the next step in the BRD process is to discuss the matter with those who disagree with you. Edit summaries are one way to discuss things, but the best place to discuss contentious changes to articles is on the talk page of the article. Iffy★Chat -- 15:17, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
