Question from 4-Commons-Aesthetics (16:31, 11 July 2023)
Hi Iffy, there is this super interesting network around Marg magazine (Mulk Raj Anand, Minnette de Silva) that one can read about in an online archiv. I now posted some external links to those persons mentioned above, but another member (see my user talk) changed them as this was too close to advertising. Can you give me any tipps how to include such an interesting finding? Many thanks! --4-Commons-Aesthetics (talk) 16:31, 11 July 2023 (UTC)


 * If there is content from the online archive you mention that should be included in the article, you should add the content to the article and then use the archive as your reference.

 * Hello! I see from your contributions that you had been attempting to create a page through Articles for creation, but the page was being declined. The reviewers who declined the page will have left the reasons why the page was not approved both on the page's articles for creation templates, and in messages on your user talk page. I would recommend listening to the advice given by the reviewers before re-submitting. Iffy★Chat -- 15:43, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Weronika Ewald has been accepted
 Weronika Ewald, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the  [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk/New_question&withJS=MediaWiki:AFCHD-wizard.js&page=Weronika_Ewald help desk] . Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider.

Thanks again, and happy editing! SportingFlyer  T · C  14:23, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Question from Ferryguy123 (02:48, 21 August 2023)
I put this in vessel types on the blackwattle bay service page:

Minicat vessel

When you hover over "Minicat ferry" on the page it says in red writing "Minicat ferry (page does not exist)". I will create an article for that page but for now I need it to be in black writing and not linked to anything. How do I do that? --Ferryguy123 (talk) 02:48, 21 August 2023 (UTC)


 * To remove a wikilink, edit the page and look for the  brackets surrounding the text, and then remove the symbols, these brackets are how Wikipedia creates links to other articles. Iffy★Chat -- 08:44, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Question from Ferryguy123 (03:00, 21 August 2023)
I want to remove something because I'm 99% sure it's outdated. Is there a service I can use to make sure? --Ferryguy123 (talk) 03:00, 21 August 2023 (UTC)


 * You can be bold and remove the outdated text yourself by simply editing the article in question. It is better to try and update the article so that the information is up to date rather than simply removing outdated information, so if you can, do that instead.

Hello, Iffy. I am new and would very much appreciate your guidance with a polite addendum to the biography of General Anthony Wayne pertaining to the "In Popular Culture" section.

Speedy deletion nomination of Sofia Open (tennis)
Hello Iffy,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Sofia Open (tennis) for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.

If you don't want Sofia Open (tennis) to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Need help
Hi Iffy,

I found you on the mentors page, and you might be the right person to answer the questions I have. I have two questions, please


 * 1) How do I archive message sn my talkp age?
 * 2) How do I access the tool used in Reviewing articles under the New Pages?

Looking forward to hearing from you. Happy Thanksgiving! Prithee P (talk) 10:37, 27 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello!
 * 1. To archive messages on your talk page, all you have to do is add at the top of the talk page, and a bot will start archiving for you in a few days. More guidance can be found at Help:Archiving a talk page.
 * 2. Reviewing new pages is handled by the New pages patrol project. The guidelines for who can be granted access to these tools are listed at New pages patrol/Reviewers. Iffy★Chat -- 11:14, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Question from AbhissszZ (08:02, 28 November 2023)
I was writting a biography on myself and it got removed (speedy deletion), I dont know why ?

All facts were correct. --AbhissszZ (talk) 08:02, 28 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello! Your draft was deleted because it was considered to be advertising or promotional instead of encyclopedic. For further details, read the messages other users have left on your user talk page. Also, writing an autobiography is very strongly discouraged on Wikipedia.

Question from Kawsy (15:11, 30 November 2023)
Hi Dudhhr,

I am on a personal mission to put all my personal knowledge of my life onto wikipedia, from the hospital where I was born to the clothes that I wore since I was a baby to to the ones I wear now. Additionally to the companies Ive worked with and aspire to work if they still dont have Wikipedia pages.

I want to do this so one day, I can open conversations with people based on facts, history and others which I use Wikipedia as a cheat sheet or a trusted reference.

I am currently trying to edit some of my beloved brands and companies from the Philippines (my home country) because not much wikipedia pages are present there and I also want to bolster the industries, brands onto legitimacy to help my countrymen and my country to progress.

Thank you and hoping for your kind help!

Regards,

Hanz --Kawsy (talk) 15:11, 30 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello! There is definitely a shortage of information about Philippine organisations, products and brands in Wikipedia, so your assistance is appreciated. New articles on organisations must meet the requirements in WP:NCORP. Sources used to establish the notability of an organisation must be secondary sources that are considered to be reliable, they must also be independent of the subject and they must also provide significant coverage of the organisation. Please also read the guidance you have been provided by reviewers, as they can help you to improve the quality of your drafts. Iffy★Chat -- 15:31, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Question from Paul Gurung (10:12, 30 November 2023)
Hello. I just created a sandbox and made my article. How do I move it to the main space? Where to review it? --Paul Gurung (talk) 10:12, 30 November 2023 (UTC)


 * @Paul Gurung: apologies for butting in, but did you read the message I posted on your talk page earlier about creating autobiographies, and more to the point, the many reasons why you shouldn't?
 * And to answers your question, you should not try to publish this yourself, but should instead put it through an AfC review, on account of your obvious COI. HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:33, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I tried to sent to it to the review but i was unable to do it. Paul Gurung (talk) 01:54, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

If I want to add a pic on a Wikipedia article how it can be done --SaneFlint (talk) 20:24, 30 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello! To add pictures to Wikipedia, you need to upload the picture to Wikimedia Commons first. This Upload Wizard will take you through all the necessary steps. Once your picture is uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, you link to it on the page (e.g. [[File:filename.png]] ) and the picture will appear. Iffy★Chat -- 20:28, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Question from Gameking69 (01:15, 30 December 2023)
Hello Mentor Iffy‬,

I'd like to get your feedback on my draft article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Bazel_F._Lazear --Gameking69 (talk) 01:15, 30 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello! I am not an expert in this area, but the draft appears to be well written from a quick review. One thing I would note is the number of WP:REDLINKs that appear at to be of non-notable people or organisations, but that is an easy issue to fix. If you want more detailed assistance on this article, I would recommend WikiProject Military history or specifically, the WikiProject Military history/American Civil War task force.
