Feel free to add a message at User:Bsoyka/Guestbook! Hi Bsoyka, nice to see you around. ϢereSpielChequers 20:02, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply] Thanks for your help today with the typo I found which needed editing. I did look around for some sort of edit on the page itself, and didn't see it, but will look harder next time.

Hi! I wonder if you do photo requests for the El Paso area. I have some ideas of places that can be photographed WhisperToMe (talk) 14:26, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@WhisperToMe: Hey! I actually just moved to Kansas and haven't updated my userpage and whatnot yet, so I can't really do photos in Texas anymore. If I were still in El Paso, I'd definitely say yes. Very sorry about that! Bsoyka (talk) 14:38, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's fine! BTW if you're interested in doing photo requests in Kansas and I have a general idea of which part of the state, I can give ideas for that area too. WhisperToMe (talk) 14:39, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sure! We're still getting settled in, but I'm in the Leavenworth area. Bsoyka (talk) 14:49, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok! I checked the Leavenworth USD 453 article and I found it does not yet have an image of the district's administrative offices (200 North 4th Street, Leavenworth, KS 66048). Leavenworth High School also does not yet have a photo (2012 10th Avenue, Leavenworth, Kansas 66048). When you're ready to take photos, these may be good ones to get first. The other schools don't yet have photos either, from what I see on the Commons, but I could leave the addresses now or later. WhisperToMe (talk) 20:13, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! How do you find sources relating to articles you want to edit? --Throwawaying (talk) 21:09, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Throwawaying: Hey there! There's a really good list of places to find sources over at Help:Find sources. Have a look there and see what catches your eye! Bsoyka (t • c • g) 21:30, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Billing Aquadrome logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:07, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I want to make a article for a biography of a famous personality so I want you to guide me thought it --Alqamak13 (talk) 17:09, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Alqamak13: Hey! I assume you're referring to your now-deleted draft page. Please see that message first to understand why it was deleted. Then, I advise you to familiarize yourself more with Wikipedia before creating a new article. Starting a new article from scratch is no easy task. Once you're more familiar, you can take a fresh look at Help:Your first article for some helpful instructions. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 21:33, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bsoyka, I am about the submit a new entry on a company called AION Labs. They are paying me to create the entry. This is the first time I have used Wikipedia in this way. Regarding 'Paid Editing', since the page doesn't exist yet, should I click on "I have disclosed" (even though I haven't yet, since the page doesn't exists yet? Many thanks for your help, Shreisn --Shreisn (talk) 08:26, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ben, I received help on this, thanks. Shreisn (talk) 13:00, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ben, I want to do a few things on Wiki, initially I wanted to edit an existing page (Age of Wonders 4 video game) to add a new entry for sound designer into the credits list, and to add my company name in there, which I did, but I do not see it updated on the page, so yeah, not sure what happened there... Also, linked to this, I wanted to add a new Wiki page for my company The Audio Guys, I started creating this in the Sandbox, but I can see no way of publishing it to the main wiki, maybe this is because I have only just created a wiki editor account.....not sure

Also, I am wondering how to add links into articles, is there some total beginners video or tutorial somewhere I could go through maybe...

Thanks for any help Dan --SoundCredit (talk) 11:41, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SoundCredit: Hey! Please see the message on your talk page explaining why this draft has since been deleted, and why it may not be the best idea to write about yourself and your company here. Also, see Wikipedia:FAQ/Article subjects § Can I start an article about myself or my company?. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 21:37, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

how to create an profile page easy? --Petpidia (talk) 20:49, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Petpidia: Hey! Wikipedia doesn't have profile pages in the sense you're likely used to. Please start off by seeing Help:Getting started for an introduction to what Wikipedia's all about before going too much further. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 21:38, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
