About your CSD nom
Hi! I've noticed that you had nominated User:Kadenphill394745/Sample page for deletion as pure vandalism. I have removed the tag because the page appears to be a sandbox, test page or preload rather than vandalism. Labelling such a page as vandalism might be considered WP:BITEy, so it would be nice if you only marked pages as vandalism if they are clearly bad-faith. Why not refresh your knowledge of CSD with Field guide to proper speedy deletion? QwertyForest (talk) 15:25, 17 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Sorry if this doesn't apply, but I tagged it under G3 because the page seemed to be a modified version of sample page with words being altered with "bad words" which seems pretty unsuitable for Wikipedia. Either way, thanks for the link. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 15:30, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I've taken a second look and I can see what you mean. I'm not sure that the G3 tag can be put back on. If it can't, we can MfD it. QwertyForest (talk) 15:52, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from TheOmnipotentMod (20:12, 17 May 2024)
How do you create a wiki page? --TheOmnipotentMod (talk) 20:12, 17 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello! You can create a page directly on wikipedia if your account has the autoconfirmed flag, which are automatically granted in accounts that are over 4 days old and has made at least 10 edits. However, creating a new page on Wikipedia is quite a workload, and often ends up in the page getting deleted for reasons, so I recommend starting out with adding information to articles to get the basics.
 * If you don't have the flag, you still can technically create articles through the AFC process, which I highly recommend instead of making an article directly early on. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 22:50, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

TheRealBigJack15
Hello, I see your contribution to TheRealBigJack15 was reverted. That account has been globally locked as well as various other accounts and various IP addresses. I contacted stewards and they haven't gotten back to me yet about my previous account. Any insights or ideas? That account and all of those other accounts and IP addresses have been globally locked by Elton who I think is an administrator. What can I do? 108.2.126.127 (talk) 14:22, 19 May 2024 (UTC)


 * First of all, who are you? I did revert the weird notice that was being added by a non-autoconfirmed user because I suspected it to be a talk page spam (which turned out to be false). If you are TheRealJack15 (or any account you are operated under), it seems that the locking is due to the LTA, nothing I can do there as I don't have any prior experience at LTA boards.

How do you make an article worded the the encyclopedic style of Wikipedia? --TheOmnipotentMod (talk) 12:54, 20 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hmm... I don't quite get it. Are you trying to make an article with that name or are you trying to make an article worded with the encyclopedic style of Wikipedia? If you mean the second one, could you specify what exactly you want to word? ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 14:14, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

How can i make money --Maxamed Axmed yusuf faarax (talk) 15:09, 17 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello! Unfortunately, you seem to be asking for things outside of Wikipedia, which I am unable to assist you with. I'm sure there is plenty of ways for someone to make money, but please read Paid-contribution disclosure if you are considering to receive money in return for edits.

 * @AlphaBetaGamma, You can see if there any error in my new page Koli (piracy) Vajinder Shekhawat (talk) 05:44, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Well, although the issues have been addressed by someone else, you bolded the entire lead section, which makes it harder for people to read them. It's also worth noting you added something that wasn't notable enough to be included. However, since you got a decent amount of citations, I'm sure you did good, especially for your new article.

RE: My guestbook
First of all, thank you for signing my guestbook. I am sorry if that edit crashed your browser. I was feeling hyper and decided not to show it in the mainspace, so I went to Sandbox for User Warnings and put a crap ton of content in there (1+ MB I think). Was just having fun and didn't want a block, so sorry about that! —  thetechie@enwiki  :  ~/talk/  $  02:03, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from Vinothini RYH (07:10, 28 May 2024)
Hello, How to make an edit --Vinothini RYH (talk) 07:10, 28 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello, you can edit pages by clicking on the "edit source" button. If the button instead displays "view source", then the page may be protected from editing due to repeated cases of vandalisms, or the page is controversial. The good news is that most pages on wikipedia isn't protected, and you can edit without those restrictions if your account reaches:
 * Over 10 edits with an account age of 3 days
 * Over 500 edits with an account age of 30 days
 * You can override some restrictions. Please don't make the same minor changes many times to achieve this however: your permission will be revoked if caught and may even result in a sanction being placed. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 07:47, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

EF Education First history rewrite
Thank you for reviewing the rewrite I proposed of the EF Education First history section. Could I ask for some examples of the sources you see as problematic? I tried to follow the guidelines and feel like these sources are as good as those of the history sections of other similar-sized education companies' articles like Kaplan,_Inc. and Pearson_plc, but would be happy to try and address the issues you've found. K8bell (talk) 13:42, 4 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello, and I rejected your request because it triggered an edit filter warning users about use of self published/blog references. I just wanted to double check if you're aware of the policy regarding that. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 11:20, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello, Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I'd understood that company/employee blogs and other company webpages could be cited in a limited way for factual information like dates or office locations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ABOUTSELF. Is that a misunderstanding on my part? That type of information is not cited in the press, and removing those sentences will make the history section less coherent, but I will edit them out if necessary to comply with the guidelines. K8bell (talk) 15:44, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
 * You don't have to edit them out on that case. I was just checking. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 02:38, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Gr8tergood on Draft:List of Indigenous Australians with a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) (13:31, 15 June 2024)

 * @Gr8tergood, Just checking: Are you sure that the list is notable enough to merit its own list, with significant coverage? ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 14:33, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi thanks for getting back to me. I think so. For example there are said to be about 400-500 Indigenous Phd ppl. This article (link below) has given me about 10 names. There will be data on Austrlian beaureu of statistics - census and news articles about leading drs to cite. What are your thoughts mate?

 * Just a single concern: The link you gave me is published in 2014. Isn't there a newer version? ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 14:55, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
 * No, I have contacted the journalist that wrote it and asked him if he would write a new article. I could also contact the Koori Mail an Independent Indigenous News place and see if they will write about these Phd Scholars. Some of them are featured elsewhere more recently. I'm just making the list for now of names based on 1 reference then can dig deeper. For instance this guy graduated this year;
 * but I found his name via an older news article that said he was a current phd student then I search and find he's now completed.
 * https://www.canberra.edu.au/uncover/news-archive/2024/march/grads-2024-bradley-moggridge
 * Also, some of the people in the list were 'firsts' ie. first Aboriginal person to get a phd, first Torres Strait Islander woman etc. Gr8tergood (talk) 15:13, 15 June 2024 (UTC)

A sequel film, Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate, and follow-up series Megamind Rules! premiered on Peacock on March 1, 2024."

Hi, It's been bugging me for years that there's inaccurate information on a particular magazine series. I started a "talk" on the specific page, but I'm not sure it will be seen. --ArchiverOrgan (talk) 06:37, 22 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Because that page is not protected, why not be bold and fix it yourself? (Although if you are requesting that the file name be changed due to factual errors, there is a better chance to receive attention if you seek help at the talk page of WP:MAG.) However, in Wikipedia, editors are required to link most claims with a reliable source, and your edit to File talk:Juggs August 1981.jpg doesn't have any.
