Question from Aphestus (07:48, 20 May 2024)
Hello.... How does editing work? Apparently my nitwit of a brother got himself banned indefinitely last night, according to what he told me, which wasn't much, he was merely telling the truth(although, I do know he can be rather aggressive in telling or describing) on a topic that needed "serious revision and rectification," and that he wasn't being heard or taken seriously.... Quite the contrary in my astute opinion. So, back to my question, how does editing work, as I'd love to be a contribution to what I call the earthly version of "encyclopedia Galactica." --Aphestus (talk) 07:48, 20 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'll send you a list of some helpful links shortly on your talk page. As for how you can contribute, I would read Help:Getting started. There's also a list of things you can do at the Task Center. Some things that I did starting out was linking pages and finding citations (there's a fun little tool for finding citations here). If you need anything or have any questions, you can ask me or volunteers at the Teahouse. Cheers! ‍ Rela  tivity ⚡️ 00:59, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from Chinonso233 (22:05, 28 May 2024)
How can I make money from wikipedia --Chinonso233 (talk) 22:05, 28 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Unfortunately, making money off of Wikipedia is not permitted. However, if you are interested in contributing to Wikipedia (for free), I'll be happy to help you. Cheers ‍ Rela  tivity ⚡️ 21:43, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from Aubreychandler (23:24, 28 May 2024)
Hello, I am the person that created my fathers wikipedia page years ago. Frank Garcia Paleontologist. I tried to add my name as his daughter but I was rejected. May I send you my birth certificate to prove it? --Aubreychandler (talk) 23:24, 28 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Wikipedia's information comes from published, reliable sources. Adding information that might be true but isn't published in a reliable source would be considered original research and therefore can't be added. If there is a published reliable source that shows you as his daughter, feel free to add it! Cheers, and let me know if you have any further questions ‍ Rela  tivity ⚡️ 21:46, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from Rajesh.M.666666 (09:16, 1 June 2024)
How to work in Wikipedia --Rajesh.M.666666 (talk) 09:16, 1 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! There are all kinds of things that you can do here. One thing that you should do is check the Task Center. Some more suggestions of what you can do are available on your homepage. For a list of policies and guidelines you have to follow here on Wikipedia, check this page and this page. One recommendation from me personally is to use the citation hunt tool to find citations for uncited material, which is actually really important work. If you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask me on this page. Cheers, and happy editing ‍ Rela  tivity ⚡️ 19:21, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

A message from Belko05
Belko05 (talk) 00:07, 13 June 2024 (UTC) Hello Relativity, I'm the guy that made the edit on Pedro Miguel Arce about his cause of death. It stated on the second citation (with is from Bloody Disgusting), that Arce died from cancer. I was just adding something that technically was already there. It also included an Instagram post which stated that, "After a brief battle with cancer, Pedro passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family"

https://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3743409/land-of-the-dead-actor-pedro-miguel-arce-has-passed-away-at-46/

Also on an unrelated note, are we allowed to give the name of the Belgrade school shooter here because many news sites gave his name as Kosta Kecmanovic.

 * I didn't check your edit extensively, I just saw that you added new information without adding a new source. I did check the source, and yes, you are right, it was technically sourced already. I've reverted my own edit there. Thanks for helping improve the detail on that article, and my apologies for the inconvenience that caused. If you need anything, don't hesitate to leave me a message here. Cheers ‍ Rela  tivity ⚡️ 00:22, 13 June 2024 (UTC)

A message from Ksenjamajanov
hey! i made a major revision to my Whistlegraph draft, such as an infobox, notable works paragraph, disbandment paragraph, images, more citations, etcetera. Ksenjamajanov, 6/19/24 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ksenjamajanov (talk • contribs) 02:58, 20 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello . I am on mobile so expect typos. The draft is still not ready for mainspace yet. It is definitely looking better tone-wise and reads less like an advertisement. An infobox is nice but is definitely not a requirement for anythingExtra information is nice. However,our ultimate criteria for inclusion is notability, and I’m not seeing why Whistlegraph is notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia article. Please read WP:GNG. The band’s own website cannot be used to establish notability, and neither can their music video or an instagram post (see WP:IND) Your other sources are not going to be enough to establish the band’s notability; also, see WP:Reliable sources. The amount of followers someone has does not mean that a subject is notable Wikipedia-wise. At this point I don’t think that you’ll be able to establish the band’s notability. However, if the band does eventually meet Wikipedia’s notability standards and has the required sourcing, then it could merit an article then. Cheers and let me know if you have any questions, although as I am travelinp, I probably won’t be able to respond promptly. Happy editing!

Your draft article, Draft:Hawking star


Hello, Relativity. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Hawking star".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 22:41, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
