On a final note, you may want to try the new (beta) VisualEditor, check out our weekly newspaper, the Wikipedia Signpost, and join a WikiProject of interest to you. WikiProjects gather editors interested in certain topic areas, providing them with information, tools and a place to discuss the topic in question. Based on your recent edits I think you may be interested in Wikipedia:WikiProject Russia. For a list of all WikiProjects, see here. Joining a WikiProject makes the Wikipedia experience much richer!

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages

edit
  Thank you for your recent articles, including Petrus Gaszowiec, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like {{WikiProject Keyword}} to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Wikipedia:Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:58, 18 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

iw-ref

edit

More Delicious, please note the documentation for Template:Iw-ref, which asks that editors no longer use it. To credit other language wikis, it's better to do so on the talk page, and using the template Template:Translated page. Thanks, Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:32, 3 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

- Got it. Thx. MDS

Featuring your work on Wikipedia's front page: DYKs

edit

Thank you for your recent articles, including Ląd Abbey, which I read with interest. When you create an extensive and well referenced article, you may want to have it featured on Wikipedia's main page in the Did You Know section. Articles included there will be read by thousands of our viewers. To do so, add your article to the list at T:TDYK.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Teodor Lacki, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Noble. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of Andrzej Grzymała

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Andrzej Grzymała, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.  Enaya Afzal Siddiqui  talk 01:43, 19 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Help me!

edit

Please help me with a request that was made for speedy deletion on one of the articles I wrote (about Andrzej Grzymała). I would contest the deletion because I think the grounds are wrong, but I can't find the link for contestation that's mentioned in the notification of the speedy deletion. Does that mean the article is no longer nominated? (And if so, can I delete the notification on my talk page?)

The article is a translation from Polish Wiki about a 15th-century professor in Cracow, so I'm confused about what the article is being accused of advertising. Would be happy to respond with evidence if I understood the issue...

Ways to improve Jan Štěkna

edit

Hi, I'm Boleyn. TastierSpeech, thanks for creating Jan Štěkna!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please WP:INLINECITE your bibliography. Without that, it can never get Good or Featured Article status and it will put other editors off adding to it.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
