Hi mentor, How are you on this fine day?

I want to ask you what am I supposed to do first. I am confused. Today is the day I signed up to make the Wikipedia family better and stronger with our strongly written and sourced articles.

Thank you, Dr. Yaslam --Dr.Yaslam (talk) 16:31, 31 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Welcome @Dr.Yaslam! I'd suggest getting started here: Help:Introduction_to_Wikipedia. This will help you get familiar with Wikipedia policies and editing with Wiki Markup. After that, you can find ways to help out at: Wikipedia:Task Center。 You can find WikiProjects that you are interested in here: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Directory. 94rain ^Talk 21:39, 31 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, I wish to write a page about a person what should I do to start with --Rishikaa Tiwari (talk) 16:51, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Rishikaa Tiwari. You might want to take a look at Wikipedia:Notability (people) first. If you think the person you want to write about meets one of the requirements, you can go to WP:AFC to create a draft. Let me know if you have any questions. 94rain ^Talk 17:36, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello , I’ve edited the sources which shows the news for the person itself not his books , kindly check and change name of draft from “ Mustata “ to “Mustafa” as it was a mistake . with pleasure Akram AkramHosny22 (talk) 04:10, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@AkramHosny22 Great, but you don't need to delete sources about the book. Please also see Help:Referencing_for_beginners about how to properly add footnotes. If you are writing about someone that you have relationships with, please read WP:COI for declaring a conflict of interest. Just wanted to double check on that. Thanks. 94rain ^Talk 04:15, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you for your respond , however I want to add the previous sources about the books he wrote , could you add them fot me or allow me to edit it so I can provide all links?

with pleasure AkramHosny22 (talk) 04:31, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello , kindly delete the previous article as there was a mistake in the name , however I created a professional draft “ Mustafa Hawash “

kindly check it for a review and tell me if there is and edits needed

also , I read thr articles you sent and I am not subjected to that author

thanks . AkramHosny22 (talk) 05:18, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks for confirming that. As I said earlier, please read Help:Referencing_for_beginners about how to properly add footnotes. You can use citer to generate footnotes. Thanks. 94rain ^Talk 08:43, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Alright so if I added the footnotes will it get approved ? Is this was the problem? AkramHosny22 (talk) 08:54, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I cannot promise that. But with added footnotes, it'd be easier for us to see if the person meets Wikipedia's notability criteria. 94rain ^Talk 08:56, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Sure , but I will add the footnotes to the other draft " Mustafa Hawash " because this one called " Mustata " by a mistake ok ?

and I Will mention you after finishing this

Thank you so much AkramHosny22 (talk) 09:03, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello , I have added the footnotes and made it detailed biography for the current work

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mustafa_Hawash

kindly check the changes AkramHosny22 (talk) 09:44, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello , I am sorry for reaching you more than one time , I also added the changes to our previous draft “ Mustata Hawash “ which we are talking about but kindly edit the sympol t to f from your side

thanks and sorry for disturbing AkramHosny22 (talk) 10:12, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You might want add a translated_title (See Template:Cite_web#Foreign_language_and_translated_title). I can take a look when I'm more free. 94rain ^Talk 10:34, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello , is this the true code I should add ?

هواش, العربية (15 January 2004). "مصطفى هواش" [Mustafa Hawash] (in Arabic). Retrieved 3 January 2024. AkramHosny22 (talk) 10:48, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You mention that there is an issue because the page is a "biography of a living person," but this person has been dead for over 30 years, so it's not clear why this standard has been applied. NorseLord (talk) 19:41, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi NorseLord. Looks like it was a mistake. I just removed that comment. Thanks for adding another source. We can probably user more sources though. Also the draft is still a bit short for me to accept at the moment. 94rain ^Talk 19:52, 3 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

How do you create those text boxes that can be seen on various pages that give quick facts about somebody or something(the one usually below the first paragraph of a page)? --Tricks3281 (talk) 04:58, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Tricks3281 I suppose you are talking about WP:Infobox? You can find other relevant links here: Template:WikiProject_Infoboxes_sidebar. 94rain ^Talk 05:01, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Yep, that’s what I was asking about. Thanks. Tricks3281 (talk) 05:03, 5 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I want to edit the talk page for an article (I want to bring up an issue the article has) but it only gives me the option to edit source, which I don't really know how to do. --ImperialSaponification (talk) 03:25, 9 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi ImperialSaponification. There should be a "new section" button. If you can only see "view source", it's likely that the page has been protected. 94rain ^Talk 00:07, 10 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi 94rain ! I just saw a wiki page of a violonist that i really appreciate. The page appears in several languages but not in my french (my native language). How is the best way to create the french version of the page ? Thank you for your help ! :) By the way, the violonist is "Yury Revich" --Vincesblt (talk) 14:46, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi Vincesblt. I think the best way is to start at fr:Special:ContentTranslation on French Wikipedia. You can input the title of page in other languages. WP:CXT may provide some helpful information. 94rain ^Talk 02:27, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello, dear Mentor! I would like to ask you for guidance on how to create a page about a company an it's patents? --Drtn.2020 (talk) 11:22, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi. You can start at Help:Your first article. Note that some strict requirement (Notability) has to be evaluated based on Wikipedia:Notability#General_notability_guideline for a standalone article to exist. Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations may be helpful too. 94rain ^Talk 17:44, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
