Question from AzureBlue72 (02:30, 21 May 2025)

Hello Zippybonzo, as I'm new to Wikipedia, I require your assistance, please. I wish to make a few recommended edits to the profile of Albert Falzon on the following published page; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alby_Falzon, The changes are mainly in Albert's name as described on the current published page, which is "ALBY FALZON' Which should read; Albert 'Albe' Falzon OAM The inclusion of the Post-Nominals of OAM are due to Albert being awarded the Australian Honours award of the Order of Australia Medal (OAM) in the Kings Birthday 2023 Honours Awards, for service to Surfing, and to the Visual Arts. https://www.gg.gov.au/sites/default/files/2023-06/20230612%20-%20Media%20notes%20-%20OAM%20F-L%20-%20The%20King%27s%20Birthday%202023%20Honours%20List.pdf It is also a commonly made mistake of spelling his nickname ‘Alby’, but Albert spells it and prefers it as ‘Albe’. Please let me know what I need to do to make these edits, if possible. Yours truly, AzureBlue72 --AzureBlue72 (talk) 02:30, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

Question from Merlin513 (04:23, 28 May 2025)

Hello. How do I make a table of contents? --Priotyleft123 (talk) 12:52, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. A table of contents is automatically generated to the left. Note that we no longer have tables contents in actual articles; see WP:TOC for more info. Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 17:12, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

Question from UtopianStudies (17:08, 24 May 2025)

Hi Zippybonzo! Thank you for mentoring! I am a student of Utopian Studies new to Wikipedia working on class assignment. Our class wish to add a sentence to this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaliflower_Commune

The sentence we will want to add: something like "The group continues to publish *Kaliflower* magazine and other print media," with citations to Free Print Shop publications in print. We would format these citations similarly to footnotes 4 and 5 in existing article, but cite range of magazine volume numbers e.g. "Kaliflower (January 1980-April 2023), Vols 5-10." Does this seem correct? Again many thanks. --UtopianStudies (talk) 17:08, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Hi, and welcome. If you are editing as part of an assignment, your school/teacher needs to talk to the Wiki Education Foundation. Your suggested citation is not a reliable source, it is a primary source. You need reliable secondary source coverage instead. Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 17:15, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

Interest in joining NPPS

Hi @Zippybonzo, I saw your note on the WP:NPPS page and would like to apply to join NPPS. I have over 2,400 edits, including more than 2,000 in mainspace. My focus has been on article expansion, AfD participation (48 AfDs with a 94.7% match rate excluding no-consensus), and AfC reviewing (35 reviews with around a 30% acceptance rate). I’m here to help build a high-quality, open-access encyclopedia, and I’d like to deepen my understanding of notability and CSD policy so I can contribute more effectively to new page triage. NPPS looks like a great next step. Thanks again for offering your time to help editors grow their skills. HerBauhaus (talk) 06:29, 7 June 2025 (UTC)

Growth News #34

A quarterly update from the Growth team on our work to improve the new editor experience.

Mentoring new editors

In February, Mentorship was successfully rolled out to 100% of newcomers on English Wikipedia. Following this milestone, we collaborated with Spanish Wikipedia to expand Mentorship coverage to 70% of new accounts, with plans to reach 85% soon unless concerns are raised by mentors. (T394867)

“Add a Link” Task – Iteration and Experimentation

Our efforts to improve and scale the “Add a Link” structured task continued across multiple fronts:

  • Community Feedback & Model Improvements: We’ve responded to community concerns with targeted changes:
    • Restricting access to newer accounts (T393688)
    • Some links types were removed to align with recommendations written in the English Wikipedia Manual of Style (T390683)
    • Allowing communities to limit “Add a Link” to newcomers (T393771)
    • The model used to suggest the links was improved to ease its training (T388258)
  • English Wikipedia rollout and A/B test: We increased the rollout to 20% of newcomers, with analysis underway. Preliminary data suggests this feature makes new account holders more likely to complete an unreverted edit. (T386029, T382603)
  • Surfacing Structured Tasks: An experiment where we show “add a link” suggestions to newly registered users while they are reading an article is running on pilot wikis (French, Persian, Indonesian, Portuguese, Egyptian Arabic). Initial results are under analysis. (T386029)

Newcomer Engagement Features

  • “Get Started” notification: Engineering is in progress for a new notification (Echo/email) to encourage editing among newcomers with zero edits. Early research shows this type of nudge is effective. (T392256)
  • Confirmation email: We are exploring ways to simplify and improve the initial account confirmation email newly registered users receive. (T215665)

Community Configuration Enhancements

Communities can now manage which namespaces are eligible for Event Registration via Community Configuration. (T385341)

Annual Planning

The Wikimedia Foundation’s 2025–2026 Annual Plan is taking shape. The Growth and Editing teams will focus on the Contributor Experiences (WE1) objective, with a focus on increasing constructive edits by editors with fewer than 100 cumulative contributions.

Get Involved

We value your insights and ideas! If you would like to participate in a discussion, share feedback, or pilot new features, please reach out on the relevant Phabricator tasks or at our talk page, in any language.

  • The 2025 Developing Countries WikiContest will run from 1 July to 30 September. Sign up now!
  • Administrator elections will take place this month. Administrator elections are an alternative to RFA that is a gentler process for candidates due to secret voting and multiple people running together. The call for candidates is July 9–15, the discussion phase is July 18–22, and the voting phase is July 23–29. Get ready to submit your candidacy, or (with their consent) to nominate a talented candidate!

Administrator Elections | Call for Candidates

Administrator Elections | Call for Candidates

The administrator elections process has officially started! Interested editors are encouraged to self-nominate or arrange to be nominated by reviewing the instructions at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/July 2025/Candidates.

Here is the schedule:

  • July 9–15 - Call for candidates
  • July 18–22 - Discussion phase
  • July 23–29 - SecurePoll voting phase

Please note the following:

  • The requirements to run are identical to RFA—a prospective candidate must be extended confirmed.
  • Prospective candidates are advised to become familiar with the community's expectations of administrators, which are much higher than the minimum requirement of having extended confirmed status. This includes reviewing successful and unsuccessful RFAs, reading the essay Wikipedia:Advice for RfA candidates, and possibly requesting an optional poll on their chances of passing.
  • The process will have a seven day call for candidates phase, a two day pause, a five day discussion phase, and a seven day private vote using SecurePoll. Discussion and questions are only allowed on the candidate pages during the discussion phase.
  • The outcome of this process is identical to making a request for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA versus administrator elections.
  • Administrator elections are also a valid means of regaining adminship for de-sysopped editors.

Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. A separate user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.

If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.

You're receiving this message because you signed up for the mailing list. To opt-out of future mailings, please remove yourself from the list.

Endowment tax form, Wikimania, elections, U4C, fundraising and a duck!
And how do we know?
Five-year journey comes to healthy fruition.
Wikimedians from around the world will gather in person and online at the twentieth annual meeting of Wikimania.
As well as "hermeneutic excursions" and other scientific research findings.
The report covers the Foundation's operations from July 2023 - June 2024
A step towards objective and comprehensive coverage of a project nearly too big to follow.
Drawn this century!
How data from the Wikipedia "necessary articles" lists can shed new light on the gender gap
Annual plans, external trends, infrastructure, equity, safety, and effectiveness. What does it all mean?
Rest in peace.
Wouldn't it be nice without billionaires, scandals, deaths, and wars?

How can I write about myself and upload on Wikipedia --KV Waxzy (talk) 18:37, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

Question from Ash Loren (21:36, 18 July 2025)

So, I found novels and things like that, awesomely my thing, I have been looking into all places for the longest known book to the world as of late, and have been wanting to add all that I have found from my notes to the world in publishing them. --Ash Loren (talk) 21:36, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) It's cool that you have been doing this, but information on Wikipedia needs to be verificable. You need reliable sources to back up your info, not just your own research. GoldRomean (talk) 02:44, 19 July 2025 (UTC)

Administrator Elections | Voting phase

Administrator Elections | Voting phase

The voting phase of the July 2025 administrator elections has started and continues until July 29 at 23:59 UTC. You can participate in the voting phase at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/July 2025/Voting phase.

As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

  • July 23–29 – Voting phase
  • July 30–c. Aug 3 – Scrutineering phase

In the voting phase, the candidate subpages will close to public questions and discussion, and everyone who qualifies to vote will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's vote total during the election. The suffrage requirements are similar to those at RFA.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for approximately four days, perhaps longer. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (this is a good page to watchlist), and transcluded to the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and a minimum of 20 support votes. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").

Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

Question from Haackemark (02:19, 24 July 2025)

hello, need to create a page for my boss physicist Dr. Mark Haacke, he is one of the inventors of SWI in MRI and published a ton during his life. Unfortunately I cannot upload images building his page and so on not sure why. Could you please help me? Emil --Haackemark (talk) 02:19, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) Hey @Haackemark, it looks like the pages have been uploaded - I am not sure what errors you are seeing? They can be found at File:Herb Kressel, Mark Haacke and Steve Riederer, the first three Presidents of the ISMRM in 1993.jpg, etc. Let me know what specific errors you are encountering. All note that your current draft appears very promotional and needs significant improvement. See also WP:BOSS and WP:COI. Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 02:27, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
I just did it. I will ask him to review it and then how can I change the name "Sample page" and replace it with Biography of Dr. Haacke? thanks a lot Haackemark (talk) 02:32, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
@Haackemark, I highly suggest that you read WP:Your first article. There are many things to be done before publication, including properly declaring your conflict of interest and submitting your draft for review. You should not yet "change the name "Sample page" and replace it with Biography of Dr. Haacke" (unless you mean just within your userspace). GoldRomean (talk) 02:40, 24 July 2025 (UTC)
thanks, will do. this is awesome. thank you guys Haackemark (talk) 02:44, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

Administrator Elections | Discussion phase

Administrator Elections | Discussion phase

The discussion phase of the July 2025 administrator elections is officially open. As a reminder, the schedule of the election is:

  • July 18–22 - Discussion phase (we are here)
  • July 23–29 - SecurePoll voting phase
  • July 30–c. Aug 3 - Scrutineering phase

We are currently in the discussion phase. The candidate subpages are open to questions and comments from everyone, in the same style as a request for adminship. You may discuss the candidates at Wikipedia:Administrator elections/July 2025/Discussion phase.

On July 23, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close again to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's totals during the election. You must be extended confirmed to vote.

Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last approximately four days, or perhaps a little longer. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (you may want to watchlist this page) and transcluded to the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and must also have received a minimum of 20 support votes.

Question from Sohil Prasad (05:49, 25 July 2025)

How do i create a page i am new here i want to claim my achievements --Sohil Prasad (talk) 05:49, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @Sohil Prasad Hi, please see WP:YFA, but not that you should not use Wikipedia for (self) promotion. GoldRomean (talk) 18:05, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Question from Literarywolf2025 (20:56, 26 July 2025)

Hello Mentor! We are working on a draft article ahead of our publication representing New Zealand at the Frankfurt Book Fair. We have verified all sources, kept all language within citation boundaries and factual (to third party sources) yet we are continually being declined our submission. The reasons being given are more specific enough to understand. They have taken exception to our use of AI to help us code the citations. However all citations are third party verified and the copy is clean and human edited. Are you able to help us? Thank you --Literarywolf2025 (talk) 20:56, 26 July 2025 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) Courtesy pings to @DoubleGrazing, @MediaKyle, and @Theroadislong, in case any of you want to weigh in. But essentially, your draft is extremely promotional, @Literarywolf2025. Some (but not all) examples include the journal has been noted for its visually distinctive design and provocative editorial approach, Folly publishes a diverse mix of genres—short fiction, essays, memoir, poetry, visual art, and comics—with an aesthetic focus on high-quality, approachable design., etc. Wikipedia should not be used for self-promotion. GoldRomean (talk) 21:44, 26 July 2025 (UTC)
Thanks for the ping. Everything seems to have been adequately explained at the Teahouse thread posted by this user, my thoughts on the article are largely echoed by other editors there. Cheers, MediaKyle (talk) 21:52, 26 July 2025 (UTC)
Ah, missed that - thanks :). GoldRomean (talk) 21:54, 26 July 2025 (UTC)
