hi bro what is up --A7109i (talk) 17:24, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Do you have a question? Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 18:44, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I am attempting to edit the page for Zeresanay Alemseged. I am new, obviously, so I thought I would start with small changes that he himself had asked for, which is to remove his birthdate for privacy. I also removed the word "Ethiopian" as it is not a qualifier with meaning for his profession. I fear I have now been flagged as a "vandal" by another user from the German site. Could you please let me know what I should do before I attempt adding the planned updates to the article? Thank you so much, -A --Australopithechic (talk) 16:00, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Australopithechic, since you personally know Zeresanay Alemseged, you should refrain from editing the article directly per WP:COI. The English Wikipedia policy WP:OWN explains that nobody owns the contents of an article, even the subject. A similar policy is likely in place on the German Wikipedia.

Additionally, different language Wikipedias are completely separate projects, and rules from one project do not necessarily apply to another. Please ask for more specific guidance on the German Wikipedia, de:WP:Teestube. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 20:29, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Sungodtemple. I had briefed through the user guidelines, and did see that it is best to not edit if you are the subject or know him/her.

Because I would be editing mostly to fix some outdated items (and I took note that citations are missing), rather than adding wholly new content, I thought this might be appropriate under best practices (wouldn't users want accurate and cited information?). Is it best, then, to hand this off to someone without a relationship for the areas that need updates? I do appreciate the philosophy behind that ideal but if the same changes were to be made, I don't understand the added complexity since my edits would be examined by other Wiki users just the same to be sure to remove bias and such. I definitely am not trying to twist the rules; I honestly just thought fixing incorrect statements and adding citations would be tolerated as well as appreciated.

That said, I also did read that personal information can be removed for privacy reasons if it is not well-publicized data, and that was the motive for the removal of the birthdate. Australopithechic (talk) 14:31, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How to be an Editor .? --Editorevmmm (talk) 21:56, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Editorevmmm, you are already a Wikipedia editor. If you want some ideas on where to start editing, see WP:TASKCENTER. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 22:10, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Since the article was previously proposed for deletion and deleted, the recreation of the article is de facto contesting of the PROD. Accordingly, the article is ineligible for proposed deletion, but it can be nominated through the WP:Articles for deletion process. Please advise if you need assistance with that. —C.Fred (talk) 21:32, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and thanks for your notability tag on Angela Bassett did the thing. I disagree with it being a neologism and I only called the article what it's called because I couldn't think of a suitable article title, and [ABdtt] was the most notable quote from DeBose's performance. If you're able to help then that would be appreciated and I will try to find some more secondary sources :) XxLuckyCxX (talk) 22:30, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

XxLuckyCxX, I don't really understand how the one performance could be that notable. And it should be sustained. Maybe there is something absolutely inspiring about this piece I don't understand. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 22:34, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sungodtemple I will agree that there's potentially an argument for recentism although there are definitely a wide number of secondary sources available that prove it is notable, it's just a case of finding them and citing them in the article XxLuckyCxX (talk) 22:47, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Well I don't want to bother with that. Not feeling it today. So, respectfully, go away.

Also you don't have to ping me on my own talk. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 22:49, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello mentor! I'm a noob and have just started making small edits to articles. However, I'm attempting to create a brand new article and I'm feeling a little wobbly. The new article is a documentary film and the film is on a very controversial topic. I don't have strong feelings on the matter, but all the reviews/citations are extremely polarized and I'm not sure what is acceptable to include. I've included citations to the film's page, and IMDB. Do you have any other generally neutral suggestions? --Prunklethefox (talk) 07:59, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Prunklethefox, IMDb is not a reliable source (WP:IMDB). Please add any reviews you find to help show WP:NFILM or WP:N. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 13:46, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Thanks for the heads up and consideration in moving the article to draft space.

It is actually a part of a series of articles my community and I (Wikimedians of Twi Language) are working on to curate certain well known fabric designs with African heritage. We appreciate you raising the red flags so we can work at them.

For the name of the article we think it would be more suitable to go by the Nigerian given name - Akpirikpa azu, as it is well known in the internet sphere.

Thanks again. Naa2Darkoa (talk) 10:36, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, could you please remove the AfC template from your user page, as it's causing the page to appear in as a pending draft in the AfC pool. Thanks, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:08, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. How do I insert a block quote in an existing article and then view it before publishing it? --Bookpile (talk) 20:24, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Bookpile, from your contributions page I see you use the visual editor. You should be able to see the result of any template immediately upon selecting insert->template->template name. In source you can press 'show preview' for a preview. Remember, the changes are only published when you press 'publish changes'. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 15:12, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. --Bookpile Bookpile (talk) 16:08, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I want to put chakena perry former MWRD commissioner & Maggie o’keefe current 40th ward committeewoman on the endorsement list --Milikkkk (talk) 06:40, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Milikkkk by inserting your text, you broke a template. Also, the endorsement does not follow the format of the other ones listed, so it was reverted. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 14:44, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Matthew Brown Companies appears to be a resubmission of the declined Draft:The Matthew Brown Companies, both created by the same user. Any thoughts of how best to handle this? Thanks. BilCat (talk) 00:57, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

BilCat just leave it there. It's not like this hurts anyone. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 01:00, 18 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I spend much time in Portugal and would confirm that sapo.pt is a well-known internet site and company there. The page was of use to me!

I'm not in a position to provide you with RSs for the acronyms you ask it for, as I don't even know what they mean. There may be valid alternatives to what you cannot find.

Trev M: RS = WP:Reliable source, GNG = WP:GNG, NCORP = WP:NCORP. NCORP is similar to GNG. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 16:51, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mentor. Thanks for being here. Curious, back in January I suggested some information for the "Andrew Tate" page under the arrest/investigation section and also the header section but I see they were not incorporated. But when I go to the TALK page, it seems very short and I can't tell what feedback there might have been on my suggestions. Hoping to find out for both curiousity and also learning. How do I find my comments. (example added information about "Tate's Angels" and the names of the women he was arrested with and their association to Tate -- along with sources of course.)

Thanks for your assistance. --SassyMay (talk) 06:59, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

SassyMay, I can't find any edits to Andrew Tate on your contributions page. Can you link to the edits? Go to your edit in the page history of Andrew Tate, press 'diff', and copy paste the URL.

Andrew Tate is a contentious topic and I would avoid editing it, since your edits, especially if they do not conform with Wikipedia's insane number of policies and guidelines, may spark huge edit wars. I would recommend starting with a non-contentious topic. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 13:50, 24 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thank you for the feed back concerning the article I published recently. I just wanted to ask what you meant by two profiles and one PR on the article. Basically I'd like you to elaborate on those two subjects since I lack understanding on them or their meaning as far as writing goes. As you can probably tell I am new at this and would like welcome any piece of advise or message from one such as yourself. Thanks for reading through this hope to hear from you soon Elvis7077 (talk) 12:23, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
