Question from Jason Bekiaris (19:26, 29 November 2023)
Hi there, I just created a page for Canadian musician Jason Bekiaris. It says it's in Draft mode, how do I make it live and get permanent url? --Jason Bekiaris (talk) 19:26, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
- @Jason Bekiaris: hi there! I have added a template at the top of your draft that allows you to submit it for review. Please take a look at it and let me know if I can help you any further. Cheers! Rkieferbaum (talk) 02:15, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Question from Elusivefella (05:25, 11 December 2023)
What should I be reading to get proficient? Or should I just try things out and have some fun? --Elusivefella (talk) 05:25, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Elusivefella: hi there! I assume you mean you'd like to become proficient at editing Wikipedia articles, right? Although it varies a little bit from person to person, to me the best way to start is to make small edits and make them gradually more complex as you feel confident. For instance, you could start by reviewing grammar and spelling mistakes or by improving confusing or ambiguous sentences. As your edits become more complex you might feel the need to check Wikipedia guidelines that can be found at WP:MOS, a neatly organized Manual of Style for articles. Feel free to contact me whenever I can be of any help. I'll keep an eye on your edits for the next few days and be sure to drop you a note with suggestions. Cheers!

Drafts for Review
Hi Rkierferbaum can you review my articles and see if they are worthy to be included in Wikipedia. These articles meet all general notability requirements for inclusion in Wikipedia and that they are separate languages with their Iso codes and reference codes and names. Here they are. They are also not redirects as Anomie bot and Rober Mclennon only added redirects based on similar names but they are totally different language articles that I have created with information verified and reliable. Here they are.[[1]], [[2]], [[3]], [[4]], [[5]], [[6]], [[7]], [[8]], [[9]] 2600:1700:2F01:CDC0:CDB:CEB6:91A7:23BB (talk) 15:35, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
Question from Space772 (18:44, 29 December 2023)
Hey so I was wondering if I would be allowed to translate an article to English with a translator. The article I want to translate is https://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felice_Cascione am I allowed to do that? --Space772 (talk) 18:44, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
- @Space772: Hi there! How are you doing? The translate tool to English can only be used by extended confirmed users, that is, users with more than 500 edits. This is because it has been often misused in the past, with inadequate translations and use of modules and templates. This is becasue each Wikipedia has different rules and guidelines. You can still translate the article manually and create it as a new article here, ideally using the Draft space so that I and other experienced users can take a look to see if the English Wikipedia guidlines are being followed. Feel free to ping me to take a look if you do that. Does that asnwer your question? Cheers! Rkieferbaum (talk) 12:50, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
