Question from BJP4KERALAM (17:02, 8 June 2024)

Can i create an important article of an bjp kerala important leader and public figure person's article --BJP4KERALAM (talk) 17:02, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, BJP4KERALAM! Creating an article on Wikipedia as a newcomer is difficult – it's like trying to run a half marathon on your first day of training. You have to meet two minimums: first, the subject has to be notable by Wikipedia's definition (the specific guideline for people is here), and the article should be based on reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Second, you have to follow the biographies of living people policy, which says that any challengeable claim about a person must be backed up by a reference.
I would suggest you try other, easier edits first to get more familiar with Wikipedia and its policies and guidelines before embarking on an article. You can find edits to make via your homepage, at the Task Center, or by exploring various Wikiprojects – let me know if you have any more questions on this. If you still want to try for an article, make sure to read and follow Your First Article – it should give you what you need to get started.
Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions, and happy editing! Perfect4th (talk) 20:14, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Auden Schendler (22:00, 8 June 2024)

Hey, I just made edits to my personal page, and added a head shot, my book cover, and some biographical information. But none of it was allowed for citation reasons. Help! --Auden Schendler (talk) 22:00, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Auden Schendler, and welcome! Wikipedia strongly discourages writing about yourself for conflict of interest reasons, and has very specific sourcing standards. (I'm not sure what your exact question regarding sources is there – let me know if you have any further questions regarding that that I can help with.) If you're asking more generally about how to handle an article about yourself, check out the guideline for that here. Let me know if you have any other questions, and happy editing!

Question from Edudzi1 (23:08, 16 June 2024)

How can I start editing articles on Wikipedia? --Edudzi1 (talk) 23:08, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome, Edudzi1! The biggest part is finding an article you'd like to make a change to. A couple ideas for you:
  • Check out your Homepage to see if there's anything there you'd like to edit.
  • You can look at various Wikiprojects to find groups focused on topics you're interested in. An easier one to start with if you've no interests in mind is WikiProject Orphanage, which is linking orphans to other articles in the encyclopedia.
  • Or just click Random Article and see if there's anything you can improve. Often there'll be grammar or spelling to fix on random articles, which are some of the easiest improvements to begin editingwith. I just used Random Article to find Philip Ashworth and edit it. Starting small helps you get a feel for editing Wikipedia and makes larger edits easier.
  • If you'd prefer to get straight into content editing, make sure you understand the importance of references so that content is verifiable, one of the Five Pillars of Wikipedia, but do be careful of copyright and don't just copy content.
I'll drop a welcome message with a few more links on your talk page. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any further questions, and happy editing! Perfect4th (talk) 22:26, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Justinnx (22:57, 21 June 2024)

How can we suggest edits? --Justinnx (talk) 22:57, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Justinnx, and welcome! I’m assuming you’re talking about the edits on your homepage? Those are based on maintenance templates that editors have added to articles based on improvements they think the article needs. Adding specific templates can put an article into the suggested edits in that homepage. Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any more questions, and happy editing!

Question from Dhruvadityajain on Gajara Raja Medical College (11:49, 24 June 2024)

How do I create a citation --Dhruvadityajain (talk) 11:49, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Dhruvadityajain, and welcome! You can check out Referencing for beginners. Do you have any specific questions about it? Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 20:15, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Edart6 (16:43, 24 June 2024)

Question from Rehan creator (06:21, 25 June 2024)

Hello, Rehan creator, and welcome! I'm afraid I don't understand - could you please explain your question a little more? Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 06:32, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Joseph77237 on Element (criminal law) (09:14, 27 June 2024)

I cannot insert a form of strict criminal liability:

....The illicit praeter intentionem is canon law. In the Italian criminal system there is a large literature on the unintentional crime regulated by articles 584, 43, 42, 585 of the penal code and 27 of the constitution: one thesis highlights the objective liability ontology of unintentional homicide, which cannot be converted into negligent homicide; the opposite orientation, due to the art. 27 of the Constitution, deems the rejection of strict liability inevitable in favor of ascertaining culpable liability for unintentional death, and without renouncing the unitary nature of a single crime. The Spanish system, in fact, imitating the solution adopted in the Swiss and Swedish penal codes), charges the offender with two crimes: the voluntary crime of injury and --Joseph77237 (talk) 09:14, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Joseph77237, and welcome! I'm afraid I'm not sure what it is that's causing issues. You seem to have successfully made an edit to the article. Can you tell me what the issue is that you're encountering with adding the information to the article so I can provide more help? (Don't forget to cite your sources when you do add the info!) Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 21:03, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Kovesp1 (19:17, 27 June 2024)

Hi,

How can I report use of what I consider weasel words in an article? The entry in question is the Jenő Rákosi, the (original) Hungarian version. It refers to the "murderous" Treaty of Versailles (gyilkos Trianoni szerződés). The english version of the article is missing this qualifier. I would also remark that the translation into English is so bad as to render it almost unintelligible. Regards, Peter --Kovesp1 (talk) 19:17, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Peter, and welcome! The English and Hungarian Wikipedias are separate projects, so you would have to follow the Hungarian Wikipedia's processes there (I don't speak Hungarian, so I'm not active on that wiki, sorry).
Translations on Wikipedia can be rough, so feel free to be bold and improve it! I can take a look at some later, but every improvement to the encyclopedia came because someone said "I can fix that" and did. Let me know if you have any other questions! Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 21:08, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from SantwinderSingh (11:57, 28 June 2024)

How to create a page about my Company WARSAN STYLES --SantwinderSingh (talk) 11:57, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, SantwinderSingh, and welcome. I'm afraid you're here for something other than the purpose of Wikipedia – promotion and advertising is not allowed here, and as such it's quite hard to create an article about a company you are connected with. It's very difficult to write neutrally and in a non-promotional manner about something you're so connected with. In fact, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use to disclose editing about your employer and it is generally strongly discouraged. I would recommend not continuing with trying to create an article about your employer as a result, but if you still would like to, read the conflict of interest guideline and pay careful attention to follow especially the section titled "Paid editing". Any article you create should say only what reliable sources say and be neutrally worded, and be put through the Articles for Creation process.
I know that's a lot of information and links, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask me here. Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 19:05, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Slew123 (19:34, 29 June 2024)

how to make money on this site --Slew123 (talk) 19:34, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Slew123. I'm afraid you'll have to look somewhere else for making money, as Wikipedia is almost entirely run/maintained by volunteers (that's kind of the whole point – it's "the free encyclopedia anyone can edit"). Let me know if you have any other/further questions! Perfect4th (talk) 02:46, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Pandeyrishi73 (10:42, 30 June 2024)

Hello want to add a picture in Munsiyari . --Pandeyrishi73 (talk) 10:42, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Pandeyrishi73, and welcome! This help article explains how to add an image (the simplified versions linked in the box at the top are very useful if you'd like to start there). Let me know if you have any further questions! Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 20:40, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from AjishKurian (04:54, 1 July 2024)

hello, I am not able to understand how to create a wikipedia page --AjishKurian (talk) 04:54, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, AjishKurian, and welcome! Creating a Wikipedia article is pretty complicated and involves following a lot of internal policies and guidelines that newer editors aren't familiar with, so it's usually recommended that editors start with easier edits to get used to editing Wikipedia (you can check out your suggested edits on your homepage if you like). Once you're a little more familiar with Wikipedia processes and the policies (including notability) to follow for an article, check out the Articles for Creation process and it can walk you through creating and submitting one. Let me know if you have any other questions! Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 20:40, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Sirminkstudios (10:04, 1 July 2024)

Hi Please, how do I make the general public see my edit? --Sirminkstudios (talk) 10:04, 1 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Sirminkstudios. Wikipedia is not designed for self-promotion, but you're welcome to make other improvements to the encyclopedia if you commit to the paid contribution disclosure, change your username, and avoid editing promotionally. See the message on your talk page for more information. Let me know if you have any more questions, and happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 20:40, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Growth News, July 2024

Community Configuration

The Growth team released Community Configuration at all Wikipedias. You can access it at Special:CommunityConfiguration.

This new special page replaces Special:EditGrowthConfig. For now, all Growth features can be configured using Community Configuration. Configuration for AutoModerator (T365046) and other features will be available in the future.

You can help with translations. The interface translation is done at Translatewiki.net. You can also help translate the documentation.

If you attend Wikimania 2024, please join us for the session about Community configuration's future!

Current work

Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module

We will add a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We have released a simple version available to beta wikis. We will conduct an A/B test at our pilot wikis using the new Metrics Platform. We still welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page.

Future work

Increase constructive activation on mobile

As part of the Growth team 2024/2025 Annual Plan, the Growth team will explore various ways to increase the percentage of newcomers who successfully start editing.

Editing a Wikipedia page requires too much context and patience. It means many trial and error for newcomers to contribute, meaning a steeper learning curve and potential discouraging reverts. To support a new generation of volunteers, we will increase the number and availability of smaller, structured, and more task-specific editing workflows (E.g. Edit Check and Structured Tasks). The Growth team will primarily focus on Structured Tasks, while working closely with the Editing team to ensure our work integrates well with Edit Check.

Stay informed

Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work. If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News.
