Hello. Regarding this recent edit of yours [1], I noticed you attempted to add items directly to a category page.
In Wikipedia, we do not add articles to a category by editing the category page, we add them by editing the individual articles' pages and linking the category from there. Please see Wikipedia:FAQ/Categorization#How do I add an article to a category? For newer editors, it's understandably a counter-intuitive system.
Category pages are not intended to be exhaustive lists. In fact, they are not really lists at all in the sense they only display subjects with Wikipedia pages. They are navigation aids; merely groupings of related, existing English Wikipedia pages.
To categorize a page, first make sure the page actually belongs to the category. Then, go to the page you wish to categorize and add the category at the bottom of the page with the other categories. For instructions on how to do this using VisualEditor, see Help:VisualEditor § Editing categories.
For further detailed information, see Help:Category and Wikipedia:Categorization. Let me know if you need any assistance or have any questions. Cheers! --DB1729 (talk) 15:22, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Xavier Serif!
Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! Theroadislong (talk) 18:01, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

I am perplexed. Perhaps you can assist. Nelly Sfeir Gonzalez was founder and editor of the Bolivian Studies Journal, a peer reviewed academic journal. She was elected president of SALALM, a librarian association with international membership. She wrote 5 books, two of which won national awards. Why exactly did you reject her so quickly? Go to Amazon and input her name. Open the Bolivian Studies Journal and see her listed as an Editor Emeritus. Go to Past winners of Jose Toribio Medina Award on the SALALM website and see her name listed. In any case, please assist in editing the page. You seem to be over eager to close the door. You value highly your power to deny access. But in this case your zeal is mis placed. Please go back and re read the page more carefully. There are book reviews cited, etc. I am curious about your own professional background. Might you have your own Wikipedia page? Sincerely, Xavier Serif (talk) 19:10, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
If poorly sourced, who can assist with sourcing? What exactly is basis for copyright infringement? This appears to be a new claim made after first draft rejected. Put aside your hurt pride and assist in advancing human knowledge. Please specify what you think is copyright infringement to give opportunity for correction. Your professional background is relevant when evaluating the merits of an academic librarian’s career accomplishments…

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Draft:Nelly Esther Sfeir de Gonzalez requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.tributearchive.com/obituaries/19245649/Nelly-Sfeir-Gonzalez. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

If you have a conflict of interest, you must declare it. Please don't write about your friends, relatives or colleagues, and read the guidance below:
Your text was also badly underlinked, and you should use standard English capitalisation. The primary reason for deletion was that it was largely copied from a page marked © 2017-2022 Tribute Archive. All rights reserved. Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:34, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Xavier Serif
Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Adamtt9, and I thank you for your contributions.
I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Natasha Gonzalez, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.
If you wish to contest the deletion:
((proposed deletion/dated...))
If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with ((Re|Adamtt9))

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detectedthat when you recently edited Walter Gonzalez Gonzalez, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Pinta.
