Hello I want to know about how to put a logo of parental advisory on my picture --Capt genuine (talk) 15:09, 17 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Capt genuine: Could you clarify what you're referring to? If you mean profile picture, there aren't any in Wikipedia. If you want to add an image from parental advisory to your user page, copy the source for that image and paste it through the link to your user page.

Hi Nythar! I am excited to start editing Wikipedia articles. I am interested in expanding the English-language page of some articles that have longer content sections in Spanish. I was wondering: do sources for these expansions need to be in English? --Cowgirl.penguin (talk) 03:18, 23 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Cowgirl.penguin: Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. There is no requirement that only English-language sources be used. Just make sure that the sources you're using are reliable. Regards, Nythar (💬-🍀) 06:16, 23 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thank you a mentor is a wonderful idea. I'm a newbie but I'm pretty good with tech., I've written lots of JS/CSS/HTML/C++/PHP/SQL etc. full stack on many projects, but never Wikipedia. Today I will review whatever guides I can find and would like to create my first page this year. A point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated for a first time user. Just the basics please and maybe warning about any things to avoid? Thanks for mentoring. --DuncanHWest (talk) 17:24, 29 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@DuncanHWest: Thanks for contributing. Pages at Wikipedia are written in wiki markup, which should be easy to learn if you already know C++ and HTML. The basics of article creation can be found at Help:Your first article. First, you need to determine if the topic you're researching is notable; if you've got reliable sources that significantly cover and are independent of the topic, it's considered notable. If you've determined the topic is notable, create a draft through Wikipedia:Articles for creation. After clicking on the blue "Click here to start a new article" button, follow the steps to create a draft. Once you've chosen the draft's name, proceed to insert the article's contents, splitting them into segments using headings: ==Heading name here==. See here for how articles should be structured. If you have any questions along the way, please let me know. Regards, Nythar (💬-🍀) 02:52, 30 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I want add a page about my team from iit madras, how can I do that? --Stargazer48 (talk) 20:17, 29 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@Stargazer48: First read through Help:Your first article and then create a draft through Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Regards, Nythar (💬-🍀) 02:54, 30 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
