Question from Eduardo cemano (22:57, 31 December 2023)

I already have a Wikipedia page under the name ED seeman. However iy is so brief that it doesn't include many of my life's careers and published articless since most of my accomplishments are on the internet and not in book form. Can I submit to wikipdia a resume or bio that have been published on the internet and on Google. I have been written about as Ed Seeman and Eduardo Cemano. Googling both names will show the millions of websites all about both my careers. --Eduardo cemano (talk) 22:57, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

@Eduardo cemano: Hi, if you believe there's content that should be added to or changed on you Wikipedia page, the preferred way to do this is by submitting a conflict of interest edit request on the article's talk page. You should read the instructions and suggestions at WP:MAKINGEREQ and Wikipedia:Guide to effective COI edit requests. In short, you should use the template {{edit COI}}, and the edit request should be in the general format of "change [original text] to [new text] because [reason]", including reliable sources to support the new text. Liu1126 (talk) 23:14, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

I have a resume format that is published on my website that tells my whole life story better than the wikipedia page that now exists that someone at Wikipedia did from a more extensive history that a friend of mine submitted. How can I submit this entire different presentation that covers my life much better rather than trying to just add facts to what I believe doesn't tell my story.

Edward Seeman is an American artist of Polish descent whose works have spanned disparate fields, from award-winning animated television commercials for children. While much of his work has been done in still images (painted drawn and computer-based), the bulk of his work from the 1960s into the 1980s was as an animator, with side projects in film.

His animation attracted attention to him as an artist and in 1981 he won an Emmy award with Ray Favata for his introductory cartoon for The Great Space Coaster, a children's show. His cartoon-commercials also won awards, including ADDYs and Clios. He is also known for his cinemaphotography and for his work with Frank Zappa in the 1960s. He made montage sequences for the feature film. Uncle Meat, as well as Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, which won a Cine Golden Eagle award in 1968.

Since 2010 he has been doing another kind of montage with still images, Fractalegends, showing famous people in different stages of their lives and "presented in their most memorable poses".

CAREER

Seeman graduated from The High School of Music & Art on 135th Street in New York City, focusing on both singing and art in his studies.

After graduation he worked as a singer in nightclubs and Off Broadway, and also at the Naponoch Country Club in the Catskills. He didn't stop there, but pursued work as an artist, initially creating advertisements for Alexander's, a New York department store. His career came into focus when he was hired at Paramount Pictures, learning the craft of cell animation.

While at Paramount he worked as an inbetweener, a position in which the artist completes the frames in a sequence, between start and end frames drawn by the animator. Another job he worked was as an opaquer on Popeye, painting the back of each frame to add color to the images before they were photographed.

Seeman worked, learning his craft on frames that went into Popeye the Sailorman and Casper the Friendly Ghost. His career was interrupted when Seeman was drafted into the U.S. Army.

GRYPHON PRODUCTIONS

Along with his business partner Ray Favata, also an animator, Seeman began the media company Gryphon Productions, which ran from about 1960 to 1969. They produced commercials using cartoon characters. The animations that were produced included Flintstones Fruity Pebbles, Sugar Crisp Cereal (with Sugar Bear), Hasbro Toys' Charmkins and Huggles (from the Great Space Coaster), and My Little Pony, among a much longer list that includes at least 20 different products that advertised using cartoons. After the company closed, Seeman and Favata continued to work together, producing advertisements in the 1970s and '80s.

FRACTAL ART

http://www.edseeman.com/FANTASTICFRACTALS.htm

Unlike other Fractal art works I am creating RORSCHACH TYPE ART THAT ALLOWS THE VIEWER TO BECOME INTERACTIVE WITH THE ART.
My art will look differently with each viewing as new hidden faces and creatures and scenes appear.
What I believe I've achieved is a kind of KINETIC PSYCHEDELIC 2D ART

FRACTALEGENDS

http://www.edseeman.com/FRACTALEGENDS.htm

“FRACTALEGENDS” (Fractal Art+ Legends= Fractalegends)
Ed Seeman has created OVER 1500 living portraits of LEGENDARY PERSONALITIES by montaging many of their famous faces and action shots depicting their illustrious careers at all ages, into ONE ALL ENCOMPASSING PORTRAIT fused together with my FRACTAL ART.
I call these PORTRAIT TRIBUTES “FRACTALEGENDS”. That have been published and sold throughout the internet as T-shirts and Posters.

@Eduardo cemano: Unless you can gain consensus that the article is damaged beyond repair and the only way to fix it is to blow it up and start over, it is very unlikely that editors will simply replace the current version with yours. After all, no individual owns any articles, not even you as the subject, so no one can individually decide what the article should look like. I still suggest that you submit an edit request, possibly incorporating parts of this resume, and let other editors decide what to include. Liu1126 (talk) 02:09, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Wikipedianumberonefan (13:47, 6 January 2024)

How do I change the title of my page from Wikipedianumberonefan/sandbox to something else? --Wikipedianumberonefan (talk) 13:47, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

@Wikipedianumberonefan: Hi, non-autoconfirmed editors are prevented from moving pages by software. What title do you want the page to be changed to? Liu1126 (talk) 13:53, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Ssgrayfox (21:55, 8 January 2024)

Hey there. I'm sorry to bother you but I have created a wiki page that I feel is mostly ready for publishing but there is one big problem that I cannot figure out how to fix. I cant figure out how to put all my references in the reference tab of the article. I've tried different solutions that dont work. Tutorials online and on wiki are not helping me. I use visual editor and lack html skills because those were before my time. Also this article desperately needs to be published as this musical group has little information in English and I painstakingly hunted down everything so that English speakers can learn about them. So if you could help review it that would be great. --Ssgrayfox (talk) 21:55, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

@Ssgrayfox: Hi, I see that you have used the "references" html code, which automatically puts formatted citations into the section the code is in, which is the "Notes" section for your draft (Template:Reflist is more commonly used, but the two are essentially the same). The reason that this only worked for the first citation (the "about" source in the line Hasami group was founded in 2006 When Ryuichiro was a middle school student.[1]) is because you cited all the other references as external links. You should use the "cite" button in the top toolbar for Visual Editor to cite the other sources like you did for the first one. I have done an example in the paragraph In 2010 Ryuichiro..., and you can see the differences between the two styles.

I also see that you are using a lot of primary sources in your draft. Basing an entire article or large portions of one on primary sources is unadvisable, and evaluations of the article subject's notability also requires secondary sources. I would recommend adding some secondary sources to your draft wherever possible, as that would improve the chances of the draft being accepted.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions, and good luck with your draft! Liu1126 (talk) 11:01, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Btownhouse61 on Category:Sarasota High School alumni (02:46, 20 January 2024)

Hello my name is Barbara and I would like to add my mother Patricia Taylor to Sarasota High, how do I do this ? --Btownhouse61 (talk) 02:46, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

@Btownhouse61: Hi, as Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, subjects need to demonstrate their notability to merit inclusion, especially in cases where there may be tens of thousands of possible candidates. To demonstrate your mother's notability, you would need to show that there is significant coverage of her in reliable sources that are independent of her. In most alumni lists/categories like this one, subjects would also already have their own Wikipedia article. Hope this helps! Liu1126 (talk) 12:31, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

Dr. Mark Chae

Hi, I am quite new to adding material on wikipedia, and I believe I made some mistakes with a citation. Your help would be appreciated. Mark Dr. Mark Chae (talk) 12:59, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from DeeDotEssKay (07:01, 29 January 2024)

How do I add a picture to my grandfather's wiki page?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truman_Spain

My grandfather was a 1935 All American Football Player with Southern Methodist University. He was also on a Wheaties box. I have a picture of the Wheaties box and would like to add it to his page. --DeeDotEssKay (talk) 07:01, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

@DeeDotEssKay, welcome to Wikipedia! This would depend on the copyright status of the image on the Wheaties box. If it is not freely licensed (e.g. it's copyright is owned by Wheaties), then it should be uploaded at Wikipedia:Files for upload. If it is freely licensed, then it should be uploaded at Wikimedia Commons. Based on the date, my guess is that the image is in public domain by now, but I would advise you to ask more about this at the English Wikipedia's Teahouse or at the Commons Help Desk, since I'm not very familiar with copyright matters. Good luck! Liu1126 (talk) 11:07, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Adzontour123 (18:55, 30 January 2024)

false information is provided on Isaias Afewerki wikipedia page which is biased and contreversial, calling him a "dictator". please may this passage be removed --Adzontour123 (talk) 18:55, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

@Adzontour123, I would recommend you discuss these issues on the article's own talk page. Note that all statements in Wikipedia articles need to be verifiable through reliable sources and proportionally represent the viewpoints of all reliable sources. The passages which you believe to be false information appear to be very well referenced, so you would either need to argue that these current statements are actually not supported by the cited sources, provide alternative reliable sources to support your viewpoint, or argue that undue weight has been given to these events.

Question from SimSimmer78 (12:29, 30 January 2024)

Hey! I'm pretty new to Wiki - I've done a bit of reading about Wiki and I created an account so I can start editing pages - I'm wondering what are some good beginner edits to make? --SimSimmer78 (talk) 12:29, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

@SimSimmer78, welcome to Wikipedia! The best way to get started would be to try doing the suggested edits on your newcomer homepage (it's the page from where you probably asked this question, and should be accessible by clicking your username at the top of the page). Otherwise, you may find interactive tutorials like Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure and Help:Introduction useful.

If you want some specific examples, I personally do a lot of work in countering vandalism, where I work to remove unconstructive edits from pages, although this is a task that generally requires a bit more experience with Wikipedia. I also do some copyediting, which is a good newcomer task if you're good at grammar.

Don't hesitate to ask any questions, and good luck! Liu1126 (talk) 12:47, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much! SimSimmer78 (talk) 16:01, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Akhinesh777 (13:33, 2 February 2024)

Hello, i know how to upload picture to Wikimedia commons but don't know how to use CC licence here. I created a new article about OPPO A5 and i have the phone but I can't add to Wikimedia Commons because i don't know how to use CC Licence --Akhinesh777 (talk) 13:33, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

@Akhinesh777, I presume you're unsure about what CC license the image falls under (the Upload Wizard makes the process of actually adding the license tags, once determined, quite clear)? Unfortunately, I'm not an expert in copyright laws, so I can't help you here. I would advise you ask at the Commons help desk or the copyright village pump, as the editors there would be more familiar with such issues and help you choose the right license to upload the image under.

I have been blocked edit

Hello @Liu1126, I see that wiki has chosen you to be my editing consultant. As the title above states, I was blocked for vandalism. After that incident, I researched why I was accused of vandalism, and the reason was curiosity. I have no intention of asking you to remove the block for me. I would like to ask for your advice so that next time I won't be blocked, and i hope you will respond. Kind like which posts should I choose to edit? or What should I do when editing to avoid being blocked? Besides, I have a feeling about retaliation, and if that happens, what should I do. Đỗ Quang Phục (talk) 05:21, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

@Đỗ Quang Phục I don't see any block logs for your account right now. Were you blocked on a previous account? In that case, you should request an unblock on your old account instead of starting a new one.

I do not know what edits you were blocked for, but there's a list of common types of vandalism at Wikipedia:Vandalism, and you prior actions probably fall under one or another category there. Usually, editors will contact or warn you, often several times, if they believe you're doing something wrong (unless the damage is quite egregious or is subject to oversight), in which case you should stop what you were doing (instead of trying to repeat your edits, which would constitute edit warring) and respond to these comments. Liu1126 (talk) 12:14, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your advice @Liu1126, I was very worried when I couldn't log in, Until I remembered the last time auto-login was available on the browser. Đỗ Quang Phục (talk) 22:43, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Question from Chukwuocha (16:45, 7 February 2024)

Hello, can I cite a book to an article? --Chukwuocha (talk) 16:45, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

@Chukwuocha, yes you can. This is usually done with the template Template:Cite book; you can find information about its usage in its documentation. The easiest way to insert the template into a certain location is to click the "Cite" button in the top bar of the editor, then choosing "Book" if you're using visual editor, or clicking "Template" then choosing "cite book" if you're using source editor. There will then be a pop up, in which you can enter the book information. Liu1126 (talk) 16:52, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

Question from Shazir Yousaf on Chakrian (11:42, 11 February 2024)

How can I add pics --Shazir Yousaf (talk) 11:42, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

@Shazir Yousaf, if the image you want to add is already on Wikimedia Commons or stored locally in Wikipedia, you can insert the image by clicking the "Insert" button in the toolbar if you're using Visual Editor, or clicking the image icon in the toolbar if you're using Source Editor. If it's not uploaded yet, you should upload it at Commons if it's freely licensed, or make a request at Wikipedia:Files for upload if it's not. Liu1126 (talk) 12:08, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

hi advice how to i will write best articles on wiki about a social worker here --Sandhyagupta04 (talk) 12:57, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

@Sandhyagupta04, you should read Help:Your first article; it is a good guide to writing articles.

In short, Wikipedia articles are about notable subjects and should be supported by reliable sources. The article's content should abide by the Manual of Style. Other guidelines may also apply, like Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons. Good luck! Liu1126 (talk) 13:48, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Perttiheikkinen, unfortunately I don't have much experience in this area, but you may find the guides at Help:Displaying a formula and MOS:FORMULA useful. You can also ask for help at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics; the members there would be able to help you typeset specific formulae. Liu1126 (talk) 15:12, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Question from AmanjLife23 (19:53, 14 February 2024)

Good Afternoon,

I had a edit reverted for the page "University Of Winnipeg". I had it all sourced out and was wondering what you would recommend doing.

Sincerely, Amanj Vakili --AmanjLife23 (talk) 19:53, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

@AmanjLife23, it looks like a simple misunderstanding to me. Presumably, the old statistics came from an older version of the webpage, and when you updated the numbers the other editor thought that you were changing information without providing a source.

In any case, I would encourage you to talk to the reverting editor, either on their talk page or by starting a new section on the article's talk page and pinging them, to see what their specific concerns are. I've interacted with this editor before and they are a nice person, but I can approach them for you if you feel uncomfortable about talking to them yourself. Liu1126 (talk) 20:36, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

It would be greatly appreciated if you could could talk to them for me as im quite new and dont want to seem to harsh AmanjLife23 (talk) 21:41, 14 February 2024 (UTC)

@AmanjLife23, I've talked to the other editor, and they agreed to restore your edits, which I have  Done. Just two more things to remember:

1. You marked your two edits as minor, which shouldn't have been done in this case. Only mark edits as minor if they are very unlikely to be disputed (like grammar fixes, formatting, etc.); if you're unsure whether someone will dispute the edit, don't mark it. See more at Help:Minor edit.
2. Leaving longer and more descriptive edit summaries can help other editors and recent changes patrollers (see my edit for example). While holding conversations inside edit summaries is discouraged, it's good practice to briefly explain the reasoning behind your edit if others might misunderstand your intent. If the issue is really complicated, you can leave a comment on the talk page and provide a link to the comment in the edit summary. See more at Help:Edit summary

Hope this helps, and good luck for the future! Liu1126 (talk) 19:05, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello, How to start writing and publishing articles on wikipedia and what's the procedure for it. --Vivekupadhyay1 (talk) 10:39, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

@Vivekupadhyay1, you may find the guide Help:Your first article useful. In short, articles on Wikipedia should be about subjects deemed notable under the notability policy, and only include information that is verifiable using reliable sources. You may also want to gain some more experience in editing through the structured tasks on your newcomer homepage, or by using other guides like the Wikipedia Adventure or Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia.

Question from TracyCS on Judit Selymes (18:28, 16 February 2024)

I'm editing Judit Selymes biography as she passed away on the 7th of this month. I am, was, her home care provider and friend. I've never edited on wiki --TracyCS (talk) 18:28, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi TracyCS, I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, information on Wikipedia needs to be supported by reliable sources, especially important information like this. In general, individuals are not considered reliable sources, and there's no practical way for us to verify your identity anyway.

The only source online that I could find is this obituary from Legacy.com, and I'm not even sure if this is the same person as there's so little information in it, although the birth date matches. I'll ask around to see if it's considered reliable enough. If you have any other sources, like a mention in a local newspaper, you can also post them. Thanks.

Question from Mcytron (14:36, 25 February 2024)

Hi Liu1126! I've been working on a smallish town in Ukraine with a group of researchers. The town has a page in Ukrainian, but not English and I'd like to rectify that! I'd also like to crosslink it with other pages about that historic region (Volhynia). A large number of people immigrated from the town to the US, Argentina, etc., so here is interest in the town in English.

I'm a researcher and academic myself, so I know my way around how to find and cite primary sources. But I also know Wikipedia has a unique culture and don't want to step on anyone's toes. Is there anyone I should contact before creating the page?

I'd also like to make sure it disambiguates with the many other towns that have the same name (common in Eastern Europe) and that all the different transliterations of the town name are reflected (it's a part of the world that was Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine, USSR, etc., with a diverse group of people living in it--Ukrainian, Jewish, Polish, German, Czech, etc.) --Mcytron (talk) 14:36, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

@Mcytron, welcome to Wikipedia! As you're not yet an confirmed or autoconfirmed editor, you will need to first create a draft of the article in the draft namespace or in your userspace. Then you can submit the draft to Wikipedia:Articles for creation, where experienced editors will review your draft and, if it's ready for publication, move it to mainspace. You may want to read Wikipedia's Manual of Style and other policy pages like WP:CITE and WP:V, as article formatting and citation style on Wikipedia may be different from that of the academic world. Also note that unlike research papers, Wikipedia prefers secondary sources over primary ones.

Crosslinking is highly encouraged on Wikipedia! The easiest way to do this is to search up the town's name in the search bar to find articles that mention the town, then add wikilinks to the words (see MOS:LINK for details on formatting). More advanced methods can be found at Wikipedia:Orphan.

To disambiguate the title, a disambiguation tag should be added in the title. The title of the article would then be [town name], Ukraine or, if there're several towns in Ukraine with this name, [town name], Volhynia (or whatever subnational division in which the town's name is unique). See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names) and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Ukrainian places) for more guidance. Once the article is created, you can add it to the disambiguation page of the town name (or create the disambiguation page if it doesn't exist yet).

Ask me any questions you have, and good luck! Liu1126 (talk) 15:44, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Great info--thanks so much! I'm going to poke around and do some minor edits in areas where I have expertise and knowledge and hopefully get autoconfirmed in a few days. In the meantime, I'll read up on all of the information you sent me about style and substance. Very helpful. Thanks again!! Mcytron (talk) 11:22, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

@بسیج رسانه, welcome to Wikipedia! Are you using the content translation tool to make this translations? The use of the this tool to publish articles directly into main space is disallowed for non-extended confirmed editors. It should be possible to publish the translation into draft space by appending the keyword "Draft:" before the English article title in the tool, then submitting it to Wikipedia:Articles for creation where other editors will review and publish it for you.

RFA2024 update: no longer accepting new proposals in phase I

Hey there! This is to let you know that phase I of the 2024 requests for adminship (RfA) review is now no longer accepting new proposals. Lots of proposals remain open for discussion, and the current round of review looks to be on a good track towards making significant progress towards improving RfA's structure and environment. I'd like to give my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has given us their idea for change to make RfA better, and the same to everyone who has given the necessary feedback to improve those ideas. The following proposals remain open for discussion:

• Proposal 2, initiated by HouseBlaster, provides for the addition of a text box at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship reminding all editors of our policies and enforcement mechanisms around decorum.
• Proposals 3 and 3b, initiated by Barkeep49 and Usedtobecool, respectively, provide for trials of discussion-only periods at RfA. The first would add three extra discussion-only days to the beginning, while the second would convert the first two days to discussion-only.
• Proposal 5, initiated by SilkTork, provides for a trial of RfAs without threaded discussion in the voting sections.
• Proposals 6c and 6d, initiated by BilledMammal, provide for allowing users to be selected as provisional admins for a limited time through various concrete selection criteria and smaller-scale vetting.
• Proposal 7, initiated by Lee Vilenski, provides for the "General discussion" section being broken up with section headings.
• Proposal 9b, initiated by Reaper Eternal, provides for the requirement that allegations of policy violation be substantiated with appropriate links to where the alleged misconduct occured.
• Proposals 12c, 21, and 21b, initiated by City of Silver, Ritchie333, and HouseBlaster, respectively, provide for reducing the discretionary zone, which currently extends from 65% to 75%. The first would reduce it 65%–70%, the second would reduce it to 50%–66%, and the third would reduce it to 60%–70%.
• Proposal 13, initiated by Novem Lingaue, provides for periodic, privately balloted admin elections.
• Proposal 14, initiated by Kusma, provides for the creation of some minimum suffrage requirements to cast a vote.
• Proposals 16 and 16c, initiated by Thebiguglyalien and Soni, respectively, provide for community-based admin desysop procedures. 16 would desysop where consensus is established in favor at the administrators' noticeboard; 16c would allow a petition to force reconfirmation.
• Proposal 16e, initiated by BilledMammal, would extend the recall procedures of 16 to bureaucrats.
• Proposal 17, initiated by SchroCat, provides for "on-call" admins and 'crats to monitor RfAs for decorum.
• Proposal 18, initiated by theleekycauldron, provides for lowering the RfB target from 85% to 75%.
• Proposal 24, initiated by SportingFlyer, provides for a more robust alternate version of the optional candidate poll.
• Proposal 25, initiated by Femke, provides for the requirement that nominees be extended-confirmed in addition to their nominators.
• Proposal 27, initiated by WereSpielChequers, provides for the creation of a training course for admin hopefuls, as well as periodic retraining to keep admins from drifting out of sync with community norms.
• Proposal 28, initiated by HouseBlaster, tightens restrictions on multi-part questions.

To read proposals that were closed as unsuccessful, please see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review/Phase I/Closed proposals. You are cordially invited once again to participate in the open discussions; when phase I ends, phase II will review the outcomes of trial proposals and refine the implementation details of other proposals. Another notification will be sent out when this phase begins, likely with the first successful close of a major proposal. Happy editing! theleekycauldron (talk • she/her), via:

Question from Jeff Santora (08:28, 14 March 2024)

Hi there, my name is Jeffrey James Santora. I need help adding an article to Wikipedia for a new mathematical theorem and proof that I happened to stumble upon using an artificially intelligent chat bot (ChatGPT). I've never added an article to Wikipedia, however it shouldn't be too difficult to add this particular article with reliable sources due to it's mathematical nature. --Jeff Santora (talk) 08:28, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

@Jeff Santora, I would advise that you write a draft of the content in your user sandbox; I can then give you more specific suggestions. Some useful guidelines that you should read first include the verifiability policy, the notability guidelines, and the Manual of Style. Liu1126 (talk) 11:29, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from Deepfrier (13:34, 14 March 2024)

Hi,how can i edit,fix grammar mistakes,etc.Can you help me? --Deepfrier (talk) 13:34, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi Deepfrier, you may find introduction pages like Help:Editing and Help:Introduction informative. If you prefer a more hands-on experience, Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure and the structured tasks on your newcomer homepage would be useful. If you have more specific questions, you can ask me or other editors at the Teahouse or Help Desk. Liu1126 (talk) 14:28, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from Inquisitivepigeon (19:26, 16 March 2024)

Hello Liu, can you check my 10 edits and see if i'm on the right track?

Thanks, IP --Inquisitivepigeon (talk) 19:26, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

@Inquisitivepigeon, you mainspace edits are mostly well written. The tone is clear and concise, the wikitext markup is correct, and you've been using good sources. I removed the image you added on Healthcare in Wales, since it doesn't appear to be strongly related to the accompanying text. You also should've used a framed image (by leaving out the "frameless" parameter) and added a caption, as this is the standard formatting for images in articles; see MOS:IMAGES for more.

Your two edits to the talk pages were not formatted properly. New topics/threads should be created at the bottom of the talk page and be in their own section by adding a level two header. There's no need to do this manually: just click the "Add topic" link in the top bar on the talk page, and an interface will appear in which you can write the header and the content of your message. You also should've signed your messages by placing ~~~~ at the end of the message; a bot added the signature for you in those two cases. Using the interface and the reply button also signs your messages automatically.

Otherwise, keep up the good work! Liu1126 (talk) 21:52, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, I appreciate it! Have a good day Inquisitivepigeon (talk) 22:03, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from Andromeda ETHIOPIA (15:25, 18 March 2024)

hello and I want to publish Amharic essay --Andromeda ETHIOPIA (talk) 15:25, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

@Andromeda ETHIOPIA, I advise you not to do so for two reasons:

1. This is the English Wikipedia; contributions on here are expected to be in English. There is a separate Amharic Wikipedia.
2. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. Personal essays are explicitly prohibited per WP:NOTESSAY, except for limited writings on Wikipedia-related topics in userspace or on the Meta-wiki.

You are welcome to contribute to Wikipedia in other ways. Liu1126 (talk) 15:37, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

DYK for Integrated Visual Augmentation System

On 19 March 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Integrated Visual Augmentation System, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that more than 50 Microsoft engineers opposed the development of the Integrated Visual Augmentation System, as they believed this made them war profiteers? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Integrated Visual Augmentation System. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Integrated Visual Augmentation System), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
