Hello

WP:RELART? If not, i highly recommend you do so now, before going any further with the draft; they should give you some direction as to what is generally acceptable in creating a subtopic such as you are. To answer the specific questions, no, i wouldn't think yo should "need more information and citations" than any regular article; that it's a subtopic doesn't mean it requires even more substantiation than usual. To begin with, i would certainly not try to flesh everything out; i would not attempt to write full sections for each heading you currently have in the draft, but maybe start with "Overview" and "Detection", and perhaps give a couple of examples. More can be done once the article is accepted. If i can help you with any further advice or experience or whatever, please feel free to ask, and どういたしまして (Google translate, so i hope it's what i mean to say!) ~ Lindsay^Hello 11:15, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply

How do i create template --Ravi Choudhary.rc (talk) 08:31, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Ravi Choudhary.rc! I'm pleased to meet you; i've seen some of your edits listed along with some other new editors, and i'm happy to see you seem to be active and enjoying yourself.

I am not a great technical expert unfortunately, so i don't know an awful lot about templates. The best thing i can do is to guide you towards

technical village pump and see the names of some of the editors who hang out there; after a while you'll come to recognise those who are skilful in different areas. I also suggest looking through the FAQs

of that page, as you are very likely to find that someone has asked whatever question you're interested in previously.

Again, i'll just say welcome, and i'm pleased to see you in the community. If i can help, please don't hesitate to come back here and ask ~ Lindsay^Hello 09:03, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

hi there Bhairava (or LindsayH). I decided to start editing a wikipedia page because I saw a link where I knew the background story. The page is Nigel Beusst (an Australian filmmaker) who died recently. The FIRST film on his 'filmography' list is a film called 'Fun Radio', which is an old film they played at the funeral. It's available on YouTube on Peter Tammer's YT page. Peter is a friend of Nigel's (also my friend) who gave a eulogy. MY QUESTION is why is this link to YouTube not possible to include? I understand that there's probably lots of good reason (considering all the rubbish that goes on YouTube!) but perhaps this is a special case? OR is it possible to link out to 'Internet Archive'? I could ask Peter Tammer to post the film there. Peter has the rights to post the film online, so I just want to help him (he's an older man himself so i want to encourage this archiving & sharing of old films while we still have knowledge and expertise of these works). Many thanks! Richard --RichlyMelb (talk) 10:13, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Lindsay, that all makes sense. I'm seeing if we can get the film uploaded to Internet Archive instead, which doesn't seem to be an 'unreliable source' - presumably because it's a non-profit org? Anyway, appreciate the feedback and connection to another person in this amazing online community. All the best with the pantos (here's to good rehearsals and less panic, ha!)

Hello, I am grateful for your guidance. I elected, as a first edit, to modify one sentence in one of the 'suggested edits' articles. The edit was rejected and the explanation is opaque to me. I *think* I needed to use strikeout or some method to make it clear what my edit was (a deletion of extraneous/redundant text), but I dunno. Thanks. I'm not sure how to link the info to you. --Pasteels (talk) 22:39, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Pasteels; i'm not sure what you are referring to as your first edit modifying a sentence, as all i can see that you have done is write a very generic single sentence in your sandbox ~ a place for experimenting and learning about wikimarkup and assorted other things ~ and then submit it for review, none of which i think is something in the list of suggested edits. If you have a clearer explanation or question, feel free to ask; i would also suggest that you look at the links left on your talk page, here, as there is a wealth of information available for newcomers ~ Lindsay^Hello 12:48, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, apparently I did not (do not) understand how to submit an edit for an existing article. I wrote out an explanation of what I attempted to do (see my sandbox) and copied the editor who declined my submission. I'm trying here, but somehow I'm missing something very basic about process. Pasteels (talk) 18:51, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm having trouble understanding

This one, is a very good place to start. In brief, your sandbox isn't for making real edits, it's for practising, as i said above. To make an edit, the copyedit you want, for example, you need to go to the page, sinus lift, find the "edit" button, press it, and then carefully change the text you think needs changing before pressing the "Publish changes" button once you have it how you want it. If this is not what you have done, that is why your edit isn't being accepted. Is there more i can explain? For sure, feel free to ask, if so ~ Lindsay^Hello 21:04, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply

Thanks, Lindsay, for some reason I was under the mistaken impression that I was supposed to work from the sandbox. Thanks for your patience and detailed reply, I do appreciate it. 97.120.14.216 (talk) 17:38, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am finding a highly biased content. How can I edit it or report it. It also uses loads of sources but all sources are from the same leaning media with the same narrative. --Bejns (talk) 08:57, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Bejns! Welcome to Wikipedia! While i don't know where (in which article or articles) you are finding biased content, if that is so, it is good to want to correct it, as we are determined to produce content without a point of view, that is unbiased. The place to begin a conversation about bias would be on the talk page of the article you are concerned about; every article has a talk page, you find it by putting talk: in front of the article name, so if you were concerned about hummingbird you would type talk:hummingbird in your search box, which would take you to talk:hummingbird. There, you could join a current discussion about bias or, if there isn't an active one, start a new section with that topic.

Let me add a couple of caveats, however. It is not uncommon for new users to come here thinking there is bias without realising what NPOV (

our guide to what kinds of sources we use? The fact that, as you say, all sources are from the same leaning media with the same narrative is not necessarily a bad thing; to go back to my example, if someone went to talk:hummingbird

complaining there is a blog which says that hummingbirds can fly at a million kilometres an hour and why isn't it being used, well that is not going to be taken seriously; so what i mean is, if you are going to point out weaknesses in the sources and their bias, make sure you have fully reliable, secondary sources which support any other viewpoint you want to see included.

I hope this helps; again, i'll reiterate my welcome, and say you are very welcome to come back here if you have any further questions or if there is something else i can help you with ~ Lindsay^Hello 09:57, 23 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lindsay, Hope you're doing well. I'd like to please correct the QFA Logo on our article. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Qatar_national_football_team

Thank you for the help. --QFAMarketing (talk) 08:30, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello QFAMarketing, welcome to Wikipedia. I do not understand what you are asking for above. As far as i can see, the logo in Qatar national football team is directly from a .pdf file from the Qatar Football Association, so i don't see what could not be correct.

Hi, TurtleFrog. I'm not certain i'm understanding your question exactly, so please forgive me if i don't answer perfectly, My best explanation for what i understand you to be asking is probably an example.

If, for example, in the article

reliable sources which contain that information then, yes, you would be justified in starting a new section (topic) within that article. If, on the other hand, you wanted to put in that people with collections of Agatha Christie's novels prefer red bookcases then, even if you did have reliable sources, such a fact could not support a new section and, really, such trivia would not belong in the article (though it might, conceivably, belong in a different article such as, perhaps, desire

).

I hope that this answers your question; feel free to return and clarify, if it does not, or if i can help in any other way ~ Lindsay^Hello 16:24, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. Thank you! TurtleFrog (talk) 16:41, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, it's me Sabokhat, I've just submitted a new article which I wrote, it is my first time writing an article, so can you explain me when can I get response that my article is okay and in which section of the profile it will be visible? --Sabokhat Juraeva (talk) 06:09, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sabokhat Juraeva, and welcome to Wikipedia. As you can see at the top of the article you've written and submitted, in the big, ugly puce box, it says that review "may take 3 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order", so that answers your immediate question. I can, however, offer a few suggestions, first to help with the draft article process (this won't guarantee acceptance, but may help the reviewer look favourably on it), and second to improve the quality of the article. Your formatting does not meet our standards: The title should probably be bolded, and not have any wlinks (links to other WP articles) in it; there is a lot of bolding within the article, which we do not really do so, for example, take out all the bolding in the History section; also, your use of sections is not in line with our use ~ the very first one should probably go, and all the others be sections not sub-sections.

I realise that this is probably not the answer you were hoping for, but it is better to point you to helpful answers and information than to raise false hopes. I do have one further suggestion which is that, for now, you forget about this draft and do some minor and easy editing in other articles, gain some experience, learn what being a Wikipedia editor is all about; it might help you take your mind off "E-Government in Uzbekistan", and will make it easier for you to understand how to improve it in the long run; it will also show that you are here to help, and not just focussed on the article you wrote. Finally, and again, welcome! I hope you enjoy your time here and decide to continue with being an editor ~ Lindsay^Hello 09:19, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for detailed answer @LindsayH, I'll try to learn editing at first then)) Sabokhat Juraeva (talk) 10:46, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are most welcome. Please feel free to come back here if you have any further questions; i may not know the answers to everything, but i've been here long enough that i usually have a reasonable idea where to go to find an answer! Happy editing ~ Lindsay^Hello 11:41, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

How can I edit incorrect information on Wikipedia? For example, I recently edited an entry about the creator of Sensual Bachata, as it should be Daniel y Desiree, not Korke and Judith.

Let me know if you need further refinements! --Paoladavis (talk) 04:16, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

reliable sources you have to support your belief, so that anyone else is free to answer. A couple of caveats, though: I note that the page is under an editing restriction currently which means that edits by newer editors are examined before approval, and this probably means that there has been edit warring in the past ~ possibly about an entirely different portion of the article ~ and so the community is more sensitive about it; also, i haven't looked, but it would be worth you looking on the talk page (the link i gave you above) to see if the question of the creator of the style has been discussed previously and, if it has, read those discussions and be prepared to explain logically and reasonably why what you are saying is a new issue. I hope this is of some help to you. The final bit of advice i would give is, if you do want to be a part of our community (and not just put Daniel y Desiree in place of Korke and Judith), then don't focus on this one article, but do some simple editing elsewhere, learn your way around, and thus become a constructive and valuable member of the community. Again, i say, Welcome to Wikipedia, i hope you stick around! ~ Lindsay^Hello 07:49, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply

Hey, I just created a draft for my first article, I was wondering if you'd give your input? And yes, I am aware I have not put my citations. Yet... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Barca_v_Bayern --IcantACEit (talk) 03:36, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

And also yes, It is not finished. I was just curious if you feel I should continue. IcantACEit (talk) 03:39, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello IcantACEit, and welcome to Wikipedia. I am not an expert on our articles about sports matches, though i can perhaps give you a couple of pointers:

1. Have you read a few articles about such games, to get the idea of how to structure, the sort of content and referencing you should aim for, the value of such an article? For example 1923 FA Cup final and FC Bayern Munich 1–2 Norwich City F.C. (1993) and Arsenal Women 11–1 Bristol City Women are three featured articles (the best work in the encyclopaedia) about association football matches; i suggest you read them to gain an idea of what to aspire to;
2. Second, as you point out, your writing is currently entirely unreferenced; i'm sure you intend to correct that before offering the article to the community. Be sure that you read
   this page
   which is about sources and how to choose good ones to cite;
3. It's a minor point, but some of the formatting you are currently using is not what we do; your article needs a lead paragraph or section, for example, that is a section without a heading which introduces the subject and explains why it is important ~ and this leads me on to my last point...
4. Possibly i should have put this as my first point, why are you writing this article? What is notable about the match you cover, that is, what makes it worth writing an encyclopaedia article about it? As you can imagine, we don't have articles on every baseball, football, cricket, hockey, lacrosse...match, so why this one?
   This
   is a helpful page as you need to answer this question.

I hope this is helpful; please feel free to come back here to ask more questions or look for guidance or just to chat; i'm delighted to help newer members of the community if i can. And, once again, welcome! ~ Lindsay^Hello 08:30, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

1. Thanks, I'll read those articles and make attempts to structure it properly.
2. Yes, I do intend to reference before offering it, and I'll look into the page you gave.
3. Thank you, I'll make sure to fix my formatting
4. Lastly, I feel the match is notable given it set stadium records for attendance, Barcelona hadn't beaten Bayern Munich in almost ten years and lost 5 games continuously. Robert Lewandowski, one of Bayern's main players and the second best goalscorer, scored against his former club. And lastly, Raphinha got his hat-trick versus the Bavarian giants, becoming the fourth Brazilian to do so since Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, and Neymar.

IcantACEit (talk) 13:06, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Say, that's a great set of answers from you! If you continue to listen to suggestions and act on them within the community's guidelines, there is no reason you shouldn't become a valued and productive member of it. As for that particular match, yes, those sound like reasonable reasons for it to be notable; the key, though, will always be what kind of sources (references) you can find to back up the notability. Articles with good sourcing, proper mentions in the sources (i.e., not just passing "this happened" mentions), even if they are taken to AfD (Articles for Discussion ~ where decisions are made about keeping an article someone feels doesn't deserve to be here), tend to pass and stay.

On a personal level, i have read with interest your user page, with its potted autobiography. Warren County looks interesting ~ the waterfall illustrated on the article page is certainly beautiful ~ pretty sure i've not been there, though i have passed through Tennessee several times. If i may, without sounding too "adult" and boring, i'd advise you to be careful about what else you put on your user page; remember that everything you publish here (and elsewhere on the Internet) is forever, so don't put anything you may regret later. Okay, that to one side, if i can help in any other way, or if you would like me to take a look at Barca/Bayern 2024 when you have worked on it some more, just give me a shout and i'll be happy to respond ~ Lindsay^Hello 21:39, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I forgot about my user page. I meant to take that down haha... I just made it as something for me to be proud of. I forgot I put it there!

Hi, it's me again, I was curious about how I would go about adding references into infoboxes, I know it's probably elementary to you, but it's like my fourth day here😅 --IcantACEit (talk) 02:46, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I was also curious if the the information under the "details" and "statistics" headings would be correctly formatted and etc... IcantACEit (talk) 05:58, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. An infobox is a specific form of a template, so in an article you call the template and fill in the appropriate parameters. If you mean literally references, putting a cite in an infobox, personally i don't care for that, as the infobox is intended to summarise information from the article, which is where the reference should be. It can, however, be done in just the same way as using a regular cite ~ <ref>{{cite web |url=https//:somewebsite.com |title=my reference |date=3 April 2025 }}</ref>, for example. The best way to learn about infoboxes (and templates in general) is to look at one or more in articles, on the editing page, and see just how it is done there ~ being very careful not to press the Publish button before leaving the page. If you were to go to edit William Blake, in the first section you would see this

{{Infobox writer <!-- for more information see [[:Template:Infobox writer/doc]] -->

| name = William Blake

| image = William Blake by Thomas Phillips.jpg

| caption = Portrait by [[Thomas Phillips]] (1807)

| birth_date = {{birth date|df=yes|1757|11|28}}
