Question from The kb2 (17:15, 16 January 2024)
❌ how can i create a new page? --The kb2 (talk) 17:15, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello, @The kb2. Writing an article is a daunting task; you may be interested in doing easier things before writing an article. With that being said, this page lays out the requirements, things to know, and, ultimately, how to create your article. Queen of Hearts 04:11, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Adulting on Irvine, California (20:34, 24 January 2024)
❌ How do I add a photo --Adulting (talk) 20:34, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello Adulting and welcome to Wikipedia: If you are using the source editor, there's a tutorial here. If you are using the visual editor, there is a tutorial here. Queen of Hearts 20:46, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Lunardaisy (06:55, 27 January 2024)
❌ Hello Q of H thanks for contacting me. I see the edits I made to the Stingray Torpedo entry have been taken down. I was the MoD project manager 1979 to 1986 and was adding some useful information. Can you explain the process as i am keen to help improve the entry --Lunardaisy (talk) 06:55, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello welcome to Wikipedia. Your edit seems to have been reverted because it partially did not cite reliable sources and the sources it did cite were malformed. This page if you're using the source editor or this one if you're using the visual editor will tell you how to properly cite sources. Queen of Hearts 03:51, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

Early European population statistics and censuses
Queen of Hearts 15:38, 8 February 2024 (UTC) I disagree with your close of Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 January 20. There were four delete !votes and one restore !vote, the matter of which did not address the argument against restoring. Though I suppose this is moot now that it’s been speedied as a copyvio. Aaron Liu (talk) 12:39, 7 February 2024 (UTC)


 * @Aaron Liu, I count 2 restore !votes (Thryduulf & A7V2) and a longstanding agreement that AfD is usually the place to go when there's underlying content. But moot now (and I obviously wouldn't have closed that way if I knew it was copyvio). Queen of Hearts 03:24, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Ah, I misread Thryduulf's !vote. While I still don't think that's a consensus to restore, I can understand it now. Thanks! Aaron Liu  (talk) 12:28, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

Question from Sati Maharani (10:00, 7 February 2024)
❌ Hello , I am new here and I have created this page for a very religious temple at Sati Chowk Para Rai.so how it would be featured and shown globally --Sati Maharani (talk) 10:00, 7 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello @Sati Maharani, welcome to Wikipedia. I have moved your draft to Draft:Sati Maharani, which is the standard place for drafts. There's a "Submit the draft for review!" button on top of the page now, however I do not think that the draft will be accepted at this time because it does not cite reliable sources. For more help, see Help:Referencing for beginners and Help:Your first article. Hope this helps, Queen of Hearts 19:48, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

User:Riana dzasta
❌ Hello, Queen of Hearts,

Why did you spend a lot of time moving User pages for a blocked account to the User space of a nonexistent editor? That's a lot of trouble to go through and Riana dzasta is not even an existing editor's account. I'm not sure what "problem" this solved. Thanks. Liz Read! Talk! 06:53, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

WikiCup 2024 March newsletter
The first round of the 2024 WikiCup ended at 23:59 (UTC) on 27 February. Everyone with at least 30 points moved on to Round 2, the highest number of points required to advance to the second round since 2014. Due to a six-way tie for the 64th-place spot, 67 contestants have qualified for Round 2.

The following scorers in Round 1 all scored more than 300 points:


 * , who has 916 points mostly from one FA on John Littlejohn (preacher), 15 GAs, and 16 DYKs on a variety of topics including New Zealand coinage and Inuit figures, in addition to seven reviews
 * , who has 790 points from two FAs on Felix M. Warburg House and Doom (2016 video game), two GAs, one DYK, and 11 reviews
 * , who has 580 points from one FA on Hö'elün, two GAs on Mongolia-related articles, two DYKs, and five reviews
 * , who has 420 points mostly from nine GAs and seven DYKs on television and radio stations
 * , who has 351 points from one FA on Holidays (Meghan Trainor song), a nine-article FT on 30 (album), and three DYKs
 * , who has 345 points from one FA on OneShot, one DYK and two reviews

In this newsletter, the judges would like to pay a special tribute to, who unfortunately passed away this February. At the time of his death, he was the second-highest-scoring competitor. Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from WikiCup/Newsletter/Send. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:41, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
