Tips

• Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
• It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
• If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
• Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
• When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
• If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
• Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

Happy editing! Cheers, Julietdeltalima (talk) 16:43, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Five pillars

Hello, and thanks for the addition. Just wanted to mention that someone may revert your edit because there is an ongoing discussion about this very topic, the use of WP:5, on the talk page. Randy Kryn (talk) 15:59, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

I thought it would be an uncontroversial addition; I wasn't aware of the current discussion surrounding it. Thank you for bringing this to my notice. mwwv(converse) 16:09, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

You're very welcome. Yes, it does seem an obvious addition. Randy Kryn (talk) 00:52, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Incorrect “correction” to en dash

Hi,

I have reverted your article text edits to dot-matrix display, which while I am sure they were in good faith, were absolutely incorrect. Unfortunately I am unable to revert the article title from the move you performed, since the redirect prevents moving back. This will require assistance to fix.

At Talk:Dot–matrix display#En dash vs hyphen in title I wrote a full explanation, including relevant examples from the very MOS you cited, of why an en dash is incorrect in this instance.

Regards, — tooki (talk) 19:05, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Oops. I'll tag the redirect for speedy deletion and make the move. mwwv ^converse∫_edits 20:15, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! 😊 — tooki (talk) 11:06, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

for the acknowledgement of the prod issue, pity about Trove though, it has been going down/offline recently, making its usage a bit of a random event... JarrahTree 03:51, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Your reverts of my edits

About your reverts of myedits here and special:Diff/1239445013/1239530065: I did those edits under the policy of biographies of iving people, which states A harmful statement about a small group or organization comes closer to being a BLP problem than a similar statement about a larger group; and when the group is very small, it may be impossible to draw a distinction between the group and the individuals that make up the group. This is under the section "Legal persons and groups," which is technically about corporations, which can sometimes employ tens (if not hundreds!) of thousands of people. In that context, a band would be on the extreme end of a "very small group." Also, the biography articles without living parameter states that When an article is about many persons (such as a list of persons), the editor needs to see if at least one of the persons is still alive. If they are then living=y should be used. If all persons in the list are dead then living=n should be used. and WP:BLP states Anyone born within the past 115 years[...]is covered by this policy unless a reliable source has confirmed their death.

In any case, if this band exists (which, they probably do) and is notable (which, as someone who's not a J-rock fan, I find more questionable), so do reliable sources. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 00:24, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Turns out I owe you an apology. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 19:00, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Eh, it's alright. Don't sweat about it too much, it's been a while, that discussion is 13 years old, and consensus can very well change. mwwv ^converse∫_edits 19:19, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Revert Edit

Why did you revert my edit? I am attempting to update it with links provided. It is severely outdated and misleading to the current public. Original Kara Nova (talk) 22:57, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

@Original Kara Nova: I apologize, but it's very likely you have a conflict of interest in the article you're editing. I would suggest you not edit the article directly, and read WP:PANDSCOI. mwwv ^converse∫_edits 23:00, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

No shit, this information is 10+ years old, I do not want it associated with my current public image. Original Kara Nova (talk) 23:07, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Michael Tang

Hello, Mwwv. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Michael Tang, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 17:32, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Michael Tang

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 17:24, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

ArbCom 2024 Elections voter message

Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2024 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:44, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Rollback granted

Hi Mwwv. After reviewing your request, I have enabled rollback on your account. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

• Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or Ultraviolet. It just adds a [Rollback] button next to a page's latest live revision - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you.
• Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only. Never use rollback to revert good faith edits.
• Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose or any other inappropriate purpose, the rights will be revoked.
• Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask!

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! —Femke 🐦 (talk) 07:56, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

CS1 error on Post-Britpop

Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Post-Britpop, may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A bare URL error. References show this error when one of the URL-containing parameters cannot be paired with an associated title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 13:59, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Pending changes reviewer granted

Hello. Your account has been granted the "pending changes reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on pages protected by pending changes. The list of articles awaiting review is located at Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at Special:StablePages.

Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.

Question from سمية بونار (00:19, 12 February 2025)

How do I create my Wikipedia page visible for public --سمية بونار (talk) 00:19, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

Hello! See Help:Your first article. In short, if you want to make an article, find a notable subject which has significant coverage in secondary reliable sources independent of the subject, and create the article in the draft namespace so it can be submitted for review.

Hi! I made an about to let editors know about since mismatched links in the article about Xhosa.

@Mukunio Hello! I've reverted the edit that put those links in place. Have you tried out the introduction? It gives a lot of very useful information that can help you while editing Wikipedia. I've put a couple of links on your talk page that should aid you. If you want to notify editors about content issues, you can do so on the article's associated talk page.

Question from Elj2846 on Kildare (09:41, 25 February 2025)

Hi. I'm not sure how to reference my editing. I ( think I've added an author Peter Gibbons ) to notable people on Kildare Ireland page. He's written tons of books..they are on Amazon...do I put the library of Congress number for 1 of the books? Or? Thanks. --Elj2846 (talk) 09:41, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

@Elj2846 Hello! I would say at most you would need an ISBN for the books. However, I would advise you against adding them to the page since they don't have an article (Peter Gibbons seems to be a different person), and we only put people who already have articles about them on "Notable people" lists. If you think they meet notability, see Help:Your first article. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 12:10, 25 February 2025 (UTC)

Question from John Matthew Dougherty (20:47, 2 March 2025)

Hello, I wanted to make an article about images used in memes that seem edited, but are actually the original images, but I would first like to make some edits. How do I make edits and are there any articles that could use some edits that you can request to me? --John Matthew Dougherty (talk) 20:47, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

@John Matthew Dougherty Hello! You can edit by clicking on the "Edit" or "Edit source" button on the top of any page. As for articles that could use edits, there's the category Category:All pages needing cleanup which should give you thousands of pages that need cleanup with certain things. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 23:07, 2 March 2025 (UTC)

Thank you + Question (08/03/2025)

Hey Mwww, thanks for the welcome on Wikipedia! I meant to ask, is there any doc on creating new entries you could point me to? Seyekanes (talk) 11:49, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

@Seyekanes Hello! See Help:Your first article. In short, find multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject to prove that the topic is notable and information can be verified. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 16:55, 8 March 2025 (UTC)

Question from Verify Danny on Talk:Sugar Mama (01:12, 9 March 2025)

Hello --Verify Danny (talk) 01:12, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Question from Magicianko (17:48, 9 March 2025)

What is your advice i want to edit and write articles I also heard that moderators delete contributions that newcomers make is that true? Thank you in advance --Magicianko (talk) 17:48, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

@Magicianko Hello! As for writing articles, see Help:Your first article. As for editing them, click the "edit" button in the top right. As for the contribution deleting, in some cases, yes. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 17:52, 9 March 2025 (UTC)

Question from ChaddicusFinch (17:37, 12 March 2025)

Hi, Mwwv. My boss at work wants me to create an article for his company. His company is mentioned in 5 independent sources, so I think it passes notability, but I also recognize that this presents a conflict of interest. The "Your first article" article advises me to reach out to another editor regarding this.

Edit: Nevermind! I found this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:When_your_boss_tells_you_to_edit_Wikipedia --ChaddicusFinch (talk) 17:37, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

@ChaddicusFinch Glad to hear that! I'll still put the message I was going to write down just in case you need it.

Hello! Try pointing them to Wikipedia:When your boss tells you to edit Wikipedia. Alongside that, check if the sources you found definitely constitute significant coverage. Should you go ahead and write it, make sure to disclose your conflict of interest, and if you're being paid for it disclose that instead. Also, make sure to put it through WP:Articles for creation so it can be reviewed for any issues. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 17:56, 12 March 2025 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Patrick Mantey has been accepted

Patrick Mantey, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider .

Thanks again, and happy editing!

New page reviewer granted

Hi Mwwv, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

• Add Wikipedia talk:New pages patrol/Reviewers to your watchlist to follow NPP-related discussions
• If you use Twinkle, configure it to log your CSDs and PRODs
• If you can read any languages other than English, add yourself to the list of reviewers with language proficiencies

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! Sohom (talk) 14:49, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

Question from Zzzleepi (15:47, 28 March 2025)

are my edits on the Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Island_Def_Jam_Music_Group&editingStatsId=8ng685vrm095p20mhgi5d3qqod0tj2s6&editingStatsOversample=1&gesuggestededit=1 up to standards? Do they effectively help the article (albeit in a small way)? --Zzzleepi (talk) 15:47, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

@Zzzleepi Hello! I would say that the edits are up to standards and do help the article, except for the "the" in front of Universal Music Group, since it's a company and not a physical group. If you want to continue copyediting, I recommend going to WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors and clicking on the blue button below. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 15:52, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

I am interested in adding two persons over the age of 102 living in the USA; one male and one female . --TheLadyisAlwaysaLady (talk) 02:52, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

@TheLadyisAlwaysaLady Hello! See Help:Your first article. In short, if you want to make articles on those two people, find significant coverage in secondary reliable sources independent of the subject, and create the article as a draft so it can be reviewed for any issues. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 03:08, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Wikipedia:April Fools/April Fools' Day 2025/Apartment complex

A tag has been placed on Wikipedia:April Fools/April Fools' Day 2025/Apartment complex requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

April Fools Day leftover. No point keeping this

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, pages that meet certain criteria may be deleted at any time.

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 the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Question from Avyukt Sarkar.2012 (09:37, 2 April 2025)

I once edited something which got deleted by another person. What to do? --Avyukt Sarkar.2012 (talk) 09:37, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

@Avyukt Sarkar.2012 Hello! As far as I know, you haven't made any other edits on this account. Did you make the edit as an IP? Either way, could you link me to the edit so I can review it and give you advice? Thank you! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 11:19, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Yes I had edited as an ip. Sure but how can link you to the edit?

I had made another edit which was successful in the webpage (cave paintings in India) could you tell me how was my edit?😊 Avyukt Sarkar.2012 (talk) 14:38, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

@Avyukt Sarkar.2012 Hello again! I have reverted the edits that were made. We require reliable sources when adding information to an article, as well as having a neutral, formal tone. Your later edits also gave off the impression that you were using AI, which is generally discouraged. I've put some links on your talk page that should help you out some more, and when making future edits please keep the above in mind. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 15:02, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello,

I want to add informations about some persons in my country at wikipedia.

Could you please guid me? --101wria (talk) 12:45, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

@101wria Hello! Should you want to write articles about them, see Help:Your first article. In short, find multiple secondary reliable sources that are independent of the subject so notability can be proven and information can be verified. Since this looks to be your first edit here, I recommend you check out the indroduction. I've also put some more useful links on your talk page. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 12:49, 3 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from XJ-Hyper (08:10, 5 April 2025)

Hello! Nice to meet you. How to write thank you to an editor, do you know? --XJ-Hyper (talk) 08:10, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

@XJ-Hyper Hello, and apologies for the long wait! There's multiple ways to show your appreciation to a fellow editor. You can of course write a thoughtfully worded message to their talk page, but my favorite is the wikilove feature. You can click on the heart at the top of the page and choose one of many ways to show your appreciation to someone. Another way is by using the aptly named thanks feature, which can be done on any edit by just simply clicking "thank" on it in the page history. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 22:37, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for answering my question. 😊 XJ-Hyper (talk) 23:11, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from Hair Band Rocker on Draft:Robby Vegas (17:43, 15 April 2025)

hello, can I have this page published please? --Hair Band Rocker (talk) 17:43, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

@Hair Band Rocker Hello! As you may have noticed on your talk page, I have declined the draft and marked it for speedy deletion under criteria G11. This means that it only serves to promote a person, and there is little-to-no salvageable content. Wikipedia is not a platform for advertising, and all articles must be written from a neutral point of view. However, whether the article is deleted or not is up to an administrator. Alongside this, the draft used only primary sources such as YouTube interviews and Instagram, none of which show notability. An article meets notability (or in your case, notability for musicians) when it cites multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. I know this is a lot to take in, but there's a lot that needs to be checked when you're writing articles for the 8th most visited website in the world that just so happens to be an encyclopedia. Please use the information that I have provided you. mwwv ^converse∫_edits 17:58, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

All of them are good resources, but TWA holds a bit of a place in my heart. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 23:02, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
• An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
• An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.

Miscellaneous

• A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

Question from Dr.Lekh Ranjan B.Patro (05:47, 8 May 2025)

I want to add some extra sounds in English Phonetics --Dr.Lekh Ranjan B.Patro (talk) 05:47, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

@Dr.Lekh Ranjan B.Patro Hello! You can do that, as long as you cite your sources for it. I've noticed this is your first edit; maybe you should check out the links I put on your talk page. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 20:41, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Simul moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Simul, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Question from Valeriu863 (23:35, 12 May 2025)

Hi, I was just wondering if you were a person who like rejects and accepts drafts, would you accept it? Mine is called Draft:Valeriu Iftime --Valeriu863 (talk) 23:35, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

@Valeriu863 Hello! Yes, I do occasionally review drafts. Just note that we usually don't review drafts on demand; be patient and your draft will be gotten to eventually. As I can see, your draft has been rejected for being non-notable, which means it cannot be resubmitted. Because of this, I recommend you stop working on it for a while and wait for new information on the subject that can be added. Please also take in the information you received at the AFC Help Desk. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 23:51, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

Question from Valeriu863 (23:56, 12 May 2025)

Well i added a lot more information and sources after it got rejected should i just start a new draft? --Valeriu863 (talk) 23:56, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

@Valeriu863 Please do NOT create another draft, it'll be declined as a duplicate of the first draft and it may be seen as disruptive editing. Appeal to the reviewer who rejected your draft (S0091) if you believe the rejection should be reconsidered. mwwv ^converse∫_edits 00:19, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

Ok I posted something in their talk page. Hopefully this time it will get accepted , Honestly I think I put more than enough sources.

Hoping for the best. Valeriu863 (talk) 01:00, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

Articles for Creation backlog drive

Hello Mwwv:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in June!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than 1 month of outstanding reviews from the current 3+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 June 2025 through 30 June 2025.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 3200 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help! MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:25, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

• If you wish to opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the mailing list or alternatively to opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page.

Question from Marammarammaram on University of Kentucky College of Arts and Sciences (23:28, 22 May 2025)

How do i know if the content is promotional or just neutral? --Marammarammaram (talk) 23:28, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

@Marammarammaram Hello! That's quite a tricky question to answer; Usually I look for key words that I find in advertisements, like "renowned", "distinctive", etc. I also check for any criticism should any of the former words appear a good amount. In my experience, promotional material will be cut-and-dry, and promotional articles will have at the very least a bit of "twang" in it that sounds like its trying to sell you something. Some more details on what is and is not neutral can be found at Wikipedia:Neutral point of view#How to write neutrally. As for the article you linked, I would say it has promo but it's hard to put down where exactly it is. I would say skim through the article and remove/modify statements you believe are trying to convince you to like the college. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 23:57, 22 May 2025 (UTC)

Question from Paul-Thecla (04:48, 23 May 2025)

Hi, I am trying to improve an unverified article with additional citations and content to clarify the topic while reducing undue weight placed on religious sources. A couple editors keep reverting my changes without justification beyond protecting status quo. I keep offering to address specific disputes, but they just keep reverting my edits and accusing me of edit warring and vandalism.

When editors have a clear bias and just bully an article is there any point in trying to contribute? I want to just make it more objective and scholarly, but they want it to remain limited to religious sources and citations with dubious framing of the subject. --Paul-Thecla (talk) 04:48, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

@Paul-Thecla Hello! I suggest you start a discussion on the talk page. As for the contributions you're trying to make, they make drastic changes to the article, including suggesting a title change, which NEEDS a talk page discussion since the current title has been long-standing. While I agree that the usage of {{uw-vandalism2}} assumed less-than-good faith, you yourself have edit warred a bit. The editors are only following protocol outlined in the policies and guidelines, and huge changes like that require talk page discussion. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 16:02, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. I was really just trying to restore my edits, but I wanted to stay above reproach when it comes to an edit warring accusation. I was reticent to get bogged down in a talk page discussion, because both the Editors deleting my edits self-identify as members of the Brigham Young LDS church and the POV of the article is weighted in that direction. It doesn't sound like I'll have much luck winning there since they have a whole group set up and can just puppeteer to kill all my editing since my goal is to reduce bias for the BY-LDS.

I'm sorry that I can't find the place to add a reference. Even I click the 'eidt' top on the 'References' part, there's like no blank place for me to write the words. Could you help me, thanks a lot. --Binbling (talk) 03:57, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

Question from Lemonwater60 (14:00, 6 June 2025)

Hello, I have been working on a draft and was wondering if you could look over it for me. Is it ok? I have tried to follow the rules as closely as I can. All the best, Lemon --Lemonwater60 (talk) 14:00, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

@Lemonwater60 Hello! Before I give my analysis, please note that we usually don't review drafts on demand. With that out of the way, there are a decent few problems. Most importantly, references 2 through 5 are somewhat vague and have broken links. While offline sources are completely fine to have, the sources show that you used an online repository to find them, and thus it's for the best if they're linked. I recommend that you check out Help:Referencing for beginners so you can fix them and make them properly verifiable. Another big problem is the tone. I do have a hard time pointing down why its non-neutral but I know for sure that its non-neutral. Words and phrases such as "prominent", "tireless work", and "valuable service" stuck out to me. I recommend reading Wikipedia:Neutral point of view#Explanation and the rest of the page, but in a nutshell, inform, don't influence. My last point is more minor but still outstanding: style. Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that lays out the style guidelines that all Wikipedia pages should follow. I recommend you give it a read (especially the style guidelines for bold) and take a look at Template:Biography for an example at proper formatting. Overall, the page needs quite a bit of work. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 20:32, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia:THEOTHERJUN25? Well done.

I wish I noticed this sooner - gave me a bit of a laugh :-). I'm surprised more people haven't gone up to you and mentioned about it.

Thanks for the courteous fop and I’m glad to see I've got at least one person! It was one of the first ideas that came to mind after I found out WP:JUN25 was taken by the guys at URA. In retrospect maybe I should've done WP:THECOOLERJUN25… mwwv ^converse∫_edits 02:43, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

Feedback please

Hi Mwwv! Can you please take a quick look at this page I edited? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellum_Jugurthinum# I edited the "Title and narrative" and "Historical background" (not in the box) sections. Any feedback you can provide is greatly appreciated! Binsen2323 (talk) 16:43, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

@Binsen2323 Hello! I'd say for the most part it looks fine, however words such as "notably" should be avoided per the manual of style. Hope this helps! mwwv ^converse∫_edits 17:18, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
