About Hutchison China Meditech article
Hello, ! I noticed your warning about posting my articles on Hutchison China Meditech and Hutchison MediPharma being a COI (Conflict of Interest). Please don't misinterpret my intentions!!! I am not hired or paid by the either companies to post these articles. I am merely a student who has gained an interest in the growing pharmaceutical industry in China. I decided to post articles of Hutchison China Meditech ans well as Hutchison MediPharma purely out of the my own interest. I believe that Hutchison China Meditech may very well be on the rise to being a major player in the Chinese pharmaceutical industry, and I merely wish that others interested in this company for the same or other reasons have access to a wikipedia page containing public information regarding the company. I hope that my wikipedia page will prove to be a more convenient option of learning about Hutchison China Meditech.

Tea Nguyen
Hi. Thanks for your review and suggestions. I also notice that qTrace and qTest eXplorer should be merged but as a new wiki user I'm not too sure how to do it. For the qTest eXplorer page it is a renamed product so I feel it should be mentioned since qTrace no longer exists, yet the secondary sources for qTest eXplorer are not that many. Any suggestions on how can I re-write (or merge) the two articles and remove those tags?

For the proposed deletion of qTest. It's a major product of a company, there are lots of products in same category that have wiki pages, with length at that short, so I don't know why qTest got restricted. I tried to include only historic data and relevant information that someone of interest would want to know about qTest. I also tried to include some secondary sources as possible... Not too sure how to best write article as such since I made no attempt of advertising or so...

It will be much appreciated to let me know. Thank you. Tea Nguyen (talk) 3:30, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

It definitely is notable. It's been mentioned in national press a number of times...

Regarding speedy delete of Onarbor page
Hi AllyD, I created the page, Onarbor, and would like to fix it such that it will be acceptable to be published on Wikipedia. Onarbor.com is my website and company. Our business model is based off of Kickstarter that is why I used Kickstarter's wiki page as a guide to developing our wiki page. I apologize for cutting and pasting kickstarter's page in order to create Onarbor's page. I took a break from finishing Onarbor's page before removing the blatant copyrighting without realizing that Wikipedia editors would delete it so quickly before I had a chance to finalize it. My sincere apologies, this is the 1st wikipedia page I've ever created. I've re-submitted the Onarbor page to address the copyrighting. I've removed all references that were Kickstarter-specific and changed the sentence-structure and wording to be unique to Onarbor. Hopefully this will be more in line with Wikipedia's policies. Again, I'm truly sorry about this. Thank you,

Interview invitation from a Wikipedia researcher in University of Minnesota
Hello AllyD,

I am Bowen Yu, a Ph.D. student from GroupLens Research at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities. Currently, we are undertaking a study about turnover (editors leaving and joining) in WikiProjects within Wikipedia. We are trying to understand the effects of member turnovers in the WikiProject group, in terms of the group performance and member interaction, with a purpose of learning how to build successful online communities in future. More details about our project can be found on this meta-wiki page.

I would like to invite you for an interview if you are interested in our study and willing to share your experience with us. The interview will be about 30 - 45 minutes via either Skype or Google Hangout. You will receive a $10 gift card as compensation afterwards.

Please reach me at bowen@cs.umn.edu if you are interested or have any questions.

Thank you, Bowen

Invitation to participate in a discussion about publicly disclosing subscribers of TWL resources
Hi, I have started a discussion over our Village pump with the aim of maintaining a public list of all editors who are granted access to any TWL resource. Your thoughts and opinions on the proposal are welcome:-) Regards, &#x222F; WBG converse

Maintenance template removal
Dear AllyD, thank you for the welcoming message. I used to edit and improve Wikipedia pages back in 2013,2014 and 2015. Now, I am back for my favourite hobby. Looking forward to improving more and more pages. I have read what is needed to be done, but unfortunately, cannot see why you put this. Could you be more specific? I have gone through it before deleting the Maintenance template. Checked for grammatical and other mistakes. Thank you for understanding.

New Page Patrol newsletter October 2022
Hello , Much has happened since the last newsletter over two months ago. The open letter finished with 444 signatures. The letter was sent to several dozen people at the WMF, and we have heard that it is being discussed but there has been no official reply. A related article appears in the current issue of The Signpost. If you haven't seen it, you should, including the readers' comment section.

Awards: Barnstars were given for the past several years (thanks to ), and we are now all caught up. The 2021 cup went to for leading with 26,525 article reviews during 2021. To encourage moderate activity, a new "Iron" level barnstar is awarded annually for reviewing 360 articles ("one-a-day"), and 100 reviews earns the "Standard" NPP barnstar. About 90 reviewers received barnstars for each of the years 2018 to 2021 (including the new awards that were given retroactively). All awards issued for every year are listed on the Awards page. Check out the new Hall of Fame also. Software news: and  have connected with WMF developers who can review and approve patches, so they have been able to fix some bugs, and make other improvements to the Page Curation software. You can see everything that has been fixed recently here. The reviewer report has also been improved. Suggestions:
 * There is much enthusiasm over the low backlog, but remember that the "quality and depth of patrolling are more important than speed".
 * Reminder: an article should not be tagged for any kind of deletion for a minimum of 15 minutes after creation and it is often appropriate to wait an hour or more. (from the NPP tutorial)
 * Reviewers should focus their effort where it can do the most good, reviewing articles. Other clean-up tasks that don't require advanced permissions can be left to other editors that routinely improve articles in these ways (creating Talk Pages, specifying projects and ratings, adding categories, etc.) Let's rely on others when it makes the most sense. On the other hand, if you enjoy doing these tasks while reviewing and it keeps you engaged with NPP (or are guiding a newcomer), then by all means continue.
 * This user script puts a link to the feed in your top toolbar.

Backlog: Saving the best for last: From a July low of 8,500, the backlog climbed back to 11,000 in August and then reversed in September dropping to below 6,000 and continued falling with the October backlog drive to under 1,000, a level not seen in over four years. Keep in mind that there are 2,000 new articles every week, so the number of reviews is far higher than the backlog reduction. To keep the backlog under a thousand, we have to keep reviewing at about half the recent rate!


 * Reminders
 * Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.
 * If you're interested in instant messaging and chat rooms, please join us on the New Page Patrol Discord, where you can ask for help and live chat with other patrollers.
 * Please add the project discussion page to your watchlist.
 * If you are no longer very active on Wikipedia or you no longer wish to be a reviewer, please ask any admin to remove you from the group. If you want the tools back again, just ask at PERM.

New Pages Patrol newsletter January 2023
Hello , The October drive reduced the backlog from 9,700 to an amazing 0! Congratulations to who led with 2084 points. See this page for further details. The queue is steadily rising again and is approaching 2,000. It would be great if <2,000 were the “new normal”. Please continue to help out even if it's only for a few or even one patrol a day. won the 2022 cup for 28,302 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 80/day. There was one Gold Award (5000+ reviews), 11 Silver (2000+), 28 Iron (360+) and 39 more for the 100+ barnstar. led again for the 4th year by clearing 49,294 redirects. For the full details see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone!
 * Backlog
 * 2022 Awards

Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)

New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from  to  '''

Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.

Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as and  have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.

 * Newsletter feedback - please take this short poll about the newsletter.

New Pages Patrol newsletter June 2023
Hello , Backlog

Redirect drive: In response to an unusually high redirect backlog, we held a redirect backlog drive in May. The drive completed with 23851 reviews done in total, bringing the redirect backlog to 0 (momentarily). Congratulations to who led with a staggering 4316 points, followed by  and  with 2868 and 2546 points respectively. See this page for more details. The redirect queue is steadily rising again and is steadily approaching 4,000. Please continue to help out, even if it's only for a few or even one review a day.

Redirect autopatrol: All administrators without autopatrol have now been added to the redirect autopatrol list. If you see any users who consistently create significant amounts of good quality redirects, consider requesting redirect autopatrol for them here.

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team, consisting of, and also some patches from , has been hard at work updating PageTriage. They are focusing their efforts on modernising the extension's code rather than on bug fixes or new features, though some user-facing work will be prioritised. This will help make sure that this extension is not deprecated, and is easier to work on in the future. In the next month or so, we will have an opt-in beta test where new page patrollers can help test the rewrite of Special:NewPagesFeed, to help find bugs. We will post more details at WT:NPPR when we are ready for beta testers.

Articles for Creation (AFC): All new page reviewers are now automatically approved for Articles for Creation draft reviewing (you do not need to apply at WT:AFCP like was required previously). To install the AFC helper script, visit Special:Preferences, visit the Gadgets tab, tick "Yet Another AFC Helper Script", then click "Save". To find drafts to review, visit Special:NewPagesFeed, and at the top left, tick "Articles for Creation". To review a draft, visit a submitted draft, click on the "More" menu, then click "Review (AFCH)". You can also comment on and submit drafts that are unsubmitted using the script.

You can review the AFC workflow at WP:AFCR. It is up to you if you also want to mark your AFC accepts as NPP reviewed (this is allowed but optional, depends if you would like a second set of eyes on your accept). Don't forget that draftspace is optional, so moves of drafts to mainspace (even if they are not ready) should not be reverted, except possibly if there is conflict of interest.

Pro tip: Did you know that visual artists such as painters have their own SNG? The most common part of this "creative professionals" criteria that applies to artists is WP:ARTIST 4b (solo exhibition, not group exhibition, at a major museum) or 4d (being represented within the permanent collections of two museums).

New pages patrol newsletter
Hello ,

Backlog update: At the time of this message, there are 11,300 articles and 15,600 redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

October backlog elimination drive: A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can sign up here.

PageTriage code upgrades: Upgrades to the PageTriage code, initiated by the NPP open letter in 2022 and actioned by the WMF Moderator Tools Team in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found here. As part of this work, the Special:NewPagesFeed now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed here - it will replace the current version soon.

Notability tip: Professors can meet WP:PROF #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their Google Scholar or Scopus profile and take a look at their h-index and number of citations. As a very rough rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of twenty or more, a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

Reviewing tip: If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use Discord voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

Reminders:
 * You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
 * Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

November Articles for creation backlog drive
 Hello AllyD:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive!

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.

There is a backlog of over pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:23, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

 * , It is important to consider the notability criteria before creating a page on an individual footballer, a club, a competition, etc. It is essential to have a reference to at least one item of coverage which is about the person or team.

Can i write an article about an upcoming artist?? --Natalie Astrid (talk) 10:41, 10 December 2023 (UTC)


 * , without knowing whether this artist works in music, visual art, or whatever, I would say this is very awkward and likely to be disappointed. The notability criteria are stringent, especially I would say in the visual arts where institutional exhibition/collection is needed, but also for musicians. Emerging artists are unlikely to have obtained the required extent of attention from others. AllyD (talk) 12:02, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Question from Krimostaco (20:14, 31 December 2023)
What are the main things to look out for when editing? --Krimostaco (talk) 20:14, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Question from Peterconstant (13:12, 2 January 2024)
Hi Ally, I am a undergrad student looking to get into research and I think Wikipedia would be the best way to apply my knowledge of politics in California to Wikipedia's database. What are some of the best resources to get started? --Peterconstant (talk) 13:12, 2 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Browsing the articles under Category:Politics of California could be a good starting point: looking for what exists in articles there, getting familiar with the article structures there, and then when you see something that you think is poorly-expressed or is a typo, gradually getting into making fixes. One step up from that is when you see something missing or not quite right, then go looking for a reliable source to add referenced text.
 * And a further step is when you decide to create a new article. It is well worth paying close attention to WP:POLITICIAN, especially the sentence underneath the bullet points. It is not uncommon for a new editor to create an article about, say, a local party official and then feel offended when it is deleted. AllyD (talk) 13:54, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Brutallygolden (21:56, 2 January 2024)
Hi! I’ve just joined to replace a photo of a celebrity’s wikipedia page with a photo I took instead of their current one, which is quite old. Can I do this on my phone or do I have to do it on Laptop? Do you have any advice? Thank you! --Brutallygolden (talk) 21:56, 2 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Hmmm... Whenever I upload an image to Commons (the Upload Wizard is here) I use the Laptop browser. I have never tried uploading directly from the phone: it should work ok (probably a bit cramped on the layout), though I have recollections of reading somewhere that the mobile functionality for Commons is a bit limited, so loading from Laptop may be a better start.

Question from SawyerSharbino (08:10, 16 January 2024)
Hi how can i add a profile picture please? --SawyerSharbino (talk) 08:10, 16 January 2024 (UTC)


 * From your Talk page, I note there was a previous Userpage, deleted as inappropriate. Please read WP:USERPAGE. It is worth noting that a user page is about providing information useful for one's involvement in building the encyclopaedia, i.e. editing and creating pages of encyclopaedic content; profile photos - common on social media - rarely play a significant role in that. AllyD (talk) 10:02, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Historybuff4life4health (19:42, 17 January 2024)
Hi, I'm new to editing on Wikipedia. I've recently started to contribute to article about the late Eugene Borza, an American professor who wrote many books on the Macedonian question. When I first encountered the article, it selectively cherry-picked a quote from Borza's essay "Macedonian Redux" (which can be found here http://marpedia.blogspot.com/2020/11/macedonia-redux-and-essay-by-eugene-n.html) in order to imply that Borza thought that only modern Macedonians had no link to the Macedonians of antiquity. In fact, Borza thought that none of the modern nations in the Balkans could establish a link with the Macedonians of antiquity, and I provided additional quotes and analysis to support this case. I am frustrated by another editor who seems to be engaging in an edit war with me because they insist on promoting a politically-biased narrative. How can I make sure that the article is not misrepresented and that quotes aren't taken out of context for political purposes? Thank you --Historybuff4life4health (talk) 19:42, 17 January 2024 (UTC)


 * I would suggest you are best to use a new section at the article Talk page to set out your reasoning, and seek to agree a consensus change with other users. A Talk page venue can be better than to-and-fro in edit summaries. See also WP:CONTENTDISPUTE for further steps.

Question from Adandr25 on John Hagedorn (05:16, 30 January 2024)
Hello, Professor Hagedorn was a dear friend of mine. He selected me for the LASURI project and as his RA/TA from 2008-2010 at UIC. He studied my family and I. Together, we focused on organized crime alongside Political Corruption. I am a Mafia/Mob Descendant. BSB at UIC is built on my family’s blood. I wrote an Afterward in a book by Charles Hager where I cite Dr. Hagedorn. It is called, ‘Chicago Heights; Little Joe College, the Outfit, and the Fall of Sam Giancana’. I would like to include this book in his Wikipedia page on my behalf. How do I do that? --Adandr25 (talk) 05:16, 30 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi, I would be wary of adding one's own publications into an article:see WP:SELFCITE. What I would suggest from a look at the John Hagedorn article is that it could benefit from other citations, in particular a page reference to the Mike Davis book mentioned there.

Question from PinnHJ (02:41, 6 February 2024)
I edited false statements in Taiwan History in Chinese WIKI many times because its editing groups in Taiwan use the propaganda of the domain political party instead of professinal researches. Then they locked my acount ! I am a researcher to study the history of Taiwan's tea economy, ceramic economy and now doing Taiwan architecture history. I have publiched my artichcle in an open-acess journal of the CPME last year. How can I remedy the unprofessional statements from the editing groups in Taiwan? --PinnHJ (talk) 02:41, 6 February 2024 (UTC)


 * I can't see the edits of the account you have used on other
 * Wikipedias, so can't trace what may have led to the situation you describe. (Even if I could, I doubt my HSK4 中文 would adequately grasp discussion nuance there.)
 * Nor do I know what inter-user appeal processes may exist on another Wiki.
 * I have occasionally seen mention of problems of factional capture on other Wikipedias, but I don't think I have seen remedies for this.
 * This may be the most awkward and frustrating situation. All I can suggest, from an English Wikipedia perspective, is that one sometimes has to sidestep intractable disputes and find other parts of the overall project which are more encouraging to edits. AllyD (talk) 09:43, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your suggestion. I believe WIKI is a forum to deliver the true information rather than the false propaganda for some political cult. 111.249.231.98 (talk) 12:17, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

How to publish scientific research work on a historic theme? How to put some photos, drawings, and copies of documents? --Jordan Michow (talk) 10:53, 12 February 2024 (UTC)


 * , photos, drawing and copies of documents that are out of copyright can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. Previously published research papers can be used as article references on Wikipedia; unfortunately, research that hasn't already been published elsewhere is more problematic here, because of Wikipedia's policy concerning original research.

Question from Kalevad (22:47, 6 March 2024)
Hi Ally, I am interested to create new content and not edit. How do I begin my article? --Kalevad (talk) 22:47, 6 March 2024 (UTC)


 * , I would always suggest that editing existing article content is the best way for a new contributor to begin. It helps gain familiarity with how things are usually expressed: even simple matters such as paragraphing, date format, etc., but also - crucially - how articles are referenced, this being a requirement. But if you really want to create a new article, then the WP:AFC process will guide you. AllyD (talk) 08:36, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from Namady (07:58, 7 March 2024)
Hello AllyD, I was looking through the article on Dinghy racing and noticed that there was no mention of the importance of identifying flags from the Race Committee which are used to communicate with boats on the water. Anyone who races HAS to know what the flags displayed mean as there is no other way to communicate with them once they are afloat. There is a link to 'racing rules of sailing' towards the bottom of the article but I feel it's important enough to have a summary in the main headings. What do you think? --Namady (talk) 07:58, 7 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Or perhaps a summary sentence and link slightly further into the article, for example at Dinghy_racing? Anyway, I would suggest that you propose the change that you have in mind by using Add topic in Talk:Dinghy racing, for input from others interested in the topic, so that you agree a consensus.

 * , I guess there could be two questions here: the how-to and the what-articles? For the how-to, Help:Getting started has useful resources. As to what articles to edit, one way is simply to start slowly and small, by fixing the inevitable typos that you notice while reading articles. Or by working with one page on a topic that you know about - but it is important to supply references for any new facts, etc. that you add to an article. AllyD (talk) 16:48, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
Hello ,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:
 * You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
 * Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
 * To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

Hey! You might not get this question a lot, but how does your account get "marked" for mentorship?

 * You can add a section on a person's family to a biographical article, though personally I would want to ask myself if the family people are relevant to the subject's reason for notability. But most importantly, any such family detail would fall under the special WP:BLP conditions, and every fact must be supported by reliable 3rd party references. AllyD (talk) 17:39, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

I hope this message finds you well. I've been working diligently on drafting my first Wikipedia person biograph in the sandbox, and I believe it's now ready for publication on the live site. However, I'm unsure about the process and would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to proceed.

Could you please assist me in understanding the steps involved in moving my draft from the sandbox to the live Wikipedia platform? Any insights or instructions you can provide would be incredibly helpful.

Thank you very much for your ongoing support and mentorship. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Warm regards, Israel Biselu --Isracodes (talk) 14:19, 9 May 2024 (UTC)


 * You would have to move the article to Draft:  Then follow the WP:AFC instructions. However, as it stands I would be very surprised if it were to be accepted by a reviewer.
 * Your article is a biography with no in-line references.
 * It is unclear what is the basis for any claim to notability.
 * It is also unclear what is the licensing position for the photo uploaded to Commons: did you take this yourself?

 * , it looks like you have got started well with your first few edits. It is probably good not to feel you have to do a lot of preparatory reading. Better, I think, to be conscious that these Help articles are available when needed, and just treat them as backup - for example, if you are adding a statement to an article, checking WP:REFBEGIN.

Question from Kritikal tinkerer 101 (17:08, 22 May 2024)
Hello, I would like to add a citation to the article on the Village of Valatie. I'm a Valatian and noticed the claim about the 1st in the nation Santa Claus Club visiting every child in the village on Christmas Eve (Ages up to 10.) I know it sounds like a fairy tale, but it's real ....here is the validation link with the history of the club. Thank You. https://www.valatiesantaclausclub.com/ --Kritikal tinkerer 101 (talk) 17:08, 22 May 2024 (UTC)


 * The page at WP:REFBEGIN gives information on adding a reference. One thing I would say, though, is that it is better to cite an independent 3rd party source (for example, regional media coverage) rather than the primary source of the Santa Claus Club itself. Another, more complex, point based on looking at the Valatie, New York article as a whole, is that it has text about this Club in the History section, and then more about Christmas activities under Arts and culture, which may be a more appropriate place for all this information (suitably referenced).

Question from Oros timis cristian ioan on Henry Ford (06:42, 25 June 2024)
Can You Help Me Edit? --Oros timis cristian ioan (talk) 06:42, 25 June 2024 (UTC)


 * , that article is protected against vandalism, so new editors cannot edit it directly. If you have identified a change that should be made, you can propose it on Talk:Henry Ford. Remember that everything needs to be referenced by a reliable source. (The same goes for edit, such as those which you have made elsewhere to the years when someone was active in their field.)

Hello how do I confirm rights for software being made available by companies --Alabama Jun (talk) 21:42, 30 June 2024 (UTC)


 * It isn't clear whether this question relates to improving the linked article (in which case you need to identify references for any change) or a real-world query (for which Wikipedia is not an appropriate forum). AllyD (talk) 06:44, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Toshybaba (17:40, 2 July 2024)
Hello, I just want to know how am going to have profile on here --Toshybaba (talk) 17:40, 2 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia doesn't really deal in terms of profile pages. You can create a User:Toshybaba page, but its content is much more limited than would be the case on a Social Network site: the Help page here is worth reading; it says "you should avoid substantial content on your user page that is unrelated to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a general hosting service, so your user page is not a personal website. Your user page is about you as a Wikipedian". AllyD (talk) 19:16, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Oreoshak (15:22, 12 July 2024)
what stuff can I not edit --Oreoshak (talk) 15:22, 12 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Better to focus on what you can edit, which is almost every article, Talk page, etc. Where there are restrictions, particularly against new editors, are articles about, for example, famous living people, which have often had to be protected against vandalism.
