Question from Lee Dior (11:03, 16 April 2025)

How do I create --Lee Dior (talk) 11:03, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Lee Dior: I assumed you want to create articles, so first of all, you can read the help guide for creating your first article. Before starting, make sure to check for multiple reliable secondary sources that provide in-depth coverage of the topic you want to write about.

There are various topic-specific notability guidelines, but the main one is WP:GNG. If your topic meets this guideline, you can proceed with creating the article. However, keep in mind that you should not write about yourself or anyone you are personally connected to.

If you are being paid to create the article, you must disclose any paid contributions before starting. When writing the article, maintain a neutral point of view. I recommend drafting it in the Draft namespace, especially since you’re a new editor. Once you’ve completed the content and added the necessary citations, you can submit your draft for review. A reviewer will evaluate your submission, and if it meets Wikipedia’s notability criteria, it will be published to the main article space. GrabUp - Talk 13:28, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DraftCleaner breaking things

I'm not sure what happened here, but your edit broke a ton of stuff by adding extraneous spaces, translating text that's supposed to be in other languages. I'm not sure if that's a bug with the DraftCleaner script (which doesn't normally seem to do that) or if there's something else going on with that edit, but please be more careful. Jay8g [V•T•E] 01:19, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, thanks for the heads-up. GrabUp - Talk 04:45, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your edits to William Egerton, 1st Baron Egerton, please use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and prevents clogging up recent changes and the page history, as well as helping prevent edit conflicts. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it.

The *Show preview* button is right next to the *Publish changes* button and below the edit summary field.

It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 06:39, 18 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Sapphire crystal (11:20, 19 April 2025)

How do I create a citation --Sapphire crystal (talk) 11:20, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sapphire crystal: Hey, when you’re in visual editing mode, first go to the line in the article where you want to add a citation. Once you’re there, find the citation option at the top, it’s usually in the top middle, to the right of the “A” icon. Click on it, and you’ll be prompted to enter the URL you want to cite. After entering the URL, click “Create” and then “Insert”, and you’re done.

When you’re on a desktop in visual editing mode, the citation option is more clearly labeled as “Cite.” Click on that and follow the same steps.

For a better understanding of citations, check out WP:CITE. GrabUp - Talk 18:56, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Lmmastro (14:05, 21 April 2025)

Question from DRHovis (19:30, 21 April 2025)

Hello, I am a retired computer software developer. I have prepared changes to an article on the Recovery Version of the Bible and reviewed them with a retired English teacher who edits publications. She felt these changes were good, so I'm preparing to install them. I have a TMobile phone and was blocked at home, so I moved to another location and I was able to add my user name. I'll try to do my updates soon after I understand a little more. --DRHovis (talk) 19:30, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm editing this line now. Every editor is a little different. I added a blank line ahead of this note. Publishing it.

I noted the edit button just above my initial comment. It lets me focus on this area of the big talk section. Cool. Adding a blank line above these 2 lines.

2025 Pahalgam attack

According to the official U.S. Embassy in India, the 2025 Pahalgam attack is classified as a terrorist attack. Since this statement comes from the U.S. Embassy, it can be considered an official stance of the U.S. government, as such statements are not issued without federal authorization. I used a link from the official U.S. government website as a source to edit the article and label the attack as a terrorist act. However, despite not violating any Wikipedia policy, I received warnings and my edit was reverted. Please verify the source through the article’s edit history, as I cannot insert the link here. King Ayan Das (talk) 13:48, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@King Ayan Das: US embassy is not a secondary source, any government’s stance does not mean it should be added to the lede. Read MOS:TERRORIST. Also, please do not use multiple accounts for editing as I warned you to your talk page, and if then disclose them. GrabUp - Talk 13:50, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't use multiple accounts. Event i didn't use word 'Islamism' word in my edit King Ayan Das (talk) 13:53, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@King Ayan Das: Is this not your account? User:Ayan Das 5325. GrabUp - Talk 13:54, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't use this account . When i new in Wikipedia than i mistakenly done it . Is this account used in this article any more ? King Ayan Das (talk) 13:58, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
