Hello, Mali Maya!

Hi, I'm Silverseren. Since you've been going through the new editor system, I was assigned as a possible mentor to help you out if you have any questions. I've been going through your edits and they've been great from what I've seen. You've been doing a good job with using descriptive edit summaries as well. I have one suggestion for one of your edits that might help expand your repertoire.

With the edit you made here, you added more detailed information about the team's 2020 title win, but you also added info on their 2022 victory. The reference attached to that sentence before, however, this one is only about the 2020 finals. Meaning that while the info you added for 2022 might be accurate, it will need a reference if we're going to avoid the risk of someone removing what you added because it doesn't have a proper reference attached.

I just did a quick Google search and ran across this news article that appears to cover the information you added. Why don't you try adding that in as an additional reference for that sentence you added on the Hela Wigmen article? If you want to get fancy about it and not use just a bare URL, you can use a template like what the other reference there is using. I'd suggest Template:Cite news. All you have to do is copy the following text and put it at the end of the sentence in the article and then fill it out with info from the news article, like the author's last and first name, the date published, the title, the URL, ect. The "Work" part is the newspaper's name, which is the Papua New Guinea Post-Courier. And access-date is just the current date you're adding it.

Here's the reference text to copy and fill out: <ref>{{cite news |last= |first= |date= |title= |url= |work= |access-date=}}</ref>

Oh! I will also note that the text above only works in Source view, so you can click to that when you're in the edit box instead of Visual if you want to add it and fill it out directly. Otherwise, in Visual view, you can just type <ref> and there should be a popup that has Automatic or Manual as options for making a reference. I find Automatic frequently doesn't add all the important information, so Manual might be your best bet if you want to do it that way. But it's up to you! If you have any questions about how this stuff works, please feel free to ask me. I know it can be a bit overwhelming when you're just starting out.

And apologies for this wall of text. I have been told frequently before that I talk to much. I hope I haven't scared you away with all this jabbering. :) Silverseren^C 05:49, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Adding logo

How can i add logo to the website ? Mali Maya (talk) 09:19, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Mali Maya. What you'll need to do is upload the image directly to Wikipedia so it can be used here, links to images elsewhere don't work. You were trying to use this logo, right? First you'll need to right click and save that logo image to your computer. Then go to the "Upload File" button on the left side here on Wikipedia. Then you'll want to click the smaller "Upload a non-free file" option on the subsequent page, since a logo is a copyrighted image and not free. From there, you'll click the "Choose File" button and navigate to the image file you save to your computer and select that.

Then put a name for the image, a description of what the image is of, and then in Step 3 click the "This is a copyrighted, non-free work, but I believe it is Fair Use" option. It will then ask you the name of the article you're going to be adding the image to. And then for the "Non-free use rationale" section, you're going to want to click the option "This is a logo of an organization, company, brand, etc.".

Finally, there should be a button to finish uploading the file after you've filled all that out. Then you will need to just wait a second or two while it uploads and it will take you to the new Wikipedia page for the image. Then you can copy the name of the new image page into that place in the article you were trying to add it and it should display properly.

Please feel free to ask me any detailed questions if you run into issues. Silverseren^C 21:49, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Hey Silverseren. I just added a logo. How does it look? Mali Maya (talk) 04:48, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

Looks good to me. The image may need to be made more low-resolution, but I believe there's a bot that will automatically do that. Good job! Silverseren^C 05:36, 25 April 2023 (UTC)
