Question from Ceka.white50 (23:45, 1 May 2024)[edit]

hi sir how can i get registered my biografi in here --Ceka.white50 (talk) 23:45, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Ceka.white50! I'm afraid you're wanting something from Wikipedia that Wikipedia is not. Wikipedia strongly discourages writing about yourself or anyone with whom you have a conflict of interest. Feel free to try one of these alternative outlets if you like, and let me know if you have any other questions about editing Wikipedia! Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 03:32, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RFA2024 update: phase I concluded, phase II begins[edit]

Hi there! Phase I of the Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/2024 review has concluded, with several impactful changes gaining community consensus and proceeding to various stages of implementation. Some proposals will be implemented in full outright; others will be discussed at phase II before being implemented; and still others will proceed on a trial basis before being brought to phase II. The following proposals have gained consensus:

See the project page for a full list of proposals and their outcomes. A huge thank-you to everyone who has participated so far :) looking forward to seeing lots of hard work become a reality in phase II. theleekycauldron (talk), via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 08:09, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add a link at English Wikipedia[edit]

Hello Perfect4th

In a previous discussion you showed some interest regarding Growth Add a link feature. Hence, I'm sharing with you the recent post we wrote about it, as it will soon be available at English Wikipedia.

In short, this feature allows newcomers to discover that they can edit Wikipedia, by adding missing suggested links to existing articles in a guided way. It is also an excellent way to get more easy tasks newcomers can work on, as only a handful of easy tasks are available for them at the moment.

Let me know if you have any question or thoughts about this feature, anytime. Trizek_(WMF) (talk) 14:57, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I'm a little too busy to comment at the moment, but I'm following the discussion and I'll add some thoughts later if I get an opportunity. Thanks for the work you're doing with this! Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 18:47, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from DoctorAnomaly (01:56, 8 May 2024)[edit]

Hi there, just wanted to let you know I don’t intend to edit much. I just created an account so that I could sync my data on the app. :) --DoctorAnomaly (talk) 01:56, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, DoctorAnomaly, and welcome! Thanks for dropping by, and feel free to let me know if you ever do have any questions about editing! Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 17:02, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Breakfree Consulting (11:11, 9 May 2024)[edit]

i want to create my company page ..pls help --Breakfree Consulting (talk) 11:11, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Breakfree Consulting, and welcome. You should know first of all that your username does not comply with the WP:Username policy and you will have to change it to continue editing on Wikipedia. You can either create a new account or change your username. Company usernames are not allowed both because they are promotional and because they imply shared use - each account is only to be used by one person.
For creating a company page: in summary, you shouldn't. Wikipedia is not the place for self-promotion, and it is incredibly difficult to write about yourself neutrally as our policies state. If you do try create an article, see Your First Article and put the draft through the Articles for Creation process, as well as disclosing your paid contribution status as described here – this is required with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use.
I'm sorry that this is not a very encouraging answer, but the reason for so many rules is because Wikipedia is simply not the place for promoting companies and is designed for a completely different purpose, so trying to get such an article to fit is like trying to build a snowman in a Southern summer – a fine objective, at the right time and place. For a company, Wikipedia is neither. Feel free to check out alternative outlets if you like! Let me know if you have any other questions, and happy editing ~ Perfect4th (talk) 20:10, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from WcwTornado77 (03:18, 12 May 2024)[edit]

Hi! I would like to know how to make myself a page but i don't know how yet. Could you help? --WcwTornado77 (talk) 03:18, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, WcwTornado77, and welcome! If you're talking about an article, you should know that creating an article on Wikipedia as a newcomer is difficult – it's like trying to run a half marathon on your first day of training. See An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing and realize that such an article cannot be promotional. I wouldn't reccomend starting with trying to create an article, but if you still would like to try, take a look at Your First Article before you get started.
Alternatively, are you talking about your userpage (a description related to your work on Wikipedia)? If so, check out that userpage guideline, keep it civil and relevant, and have fun! Happy editing! Perfect4th (talk) 05:02, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from BJP4KERALAM (17:02, 8 June 2024)[edit]

Can i create an important article of an bjp kerala important leader and public figure person's article --BJP4KERALAM (talk) 17:02, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, BJP4KERALAM! Creating an article on Wikipedia as a newcomer is difficult – it's like trying to run a half marathon on your first day of training. You have to meet two minimums: first, the subject has to be notable by Wikipedia's definition (the specific guideline for people is here), and the article should be based on reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Second, you have to follow the biographies of living people policy, which says that any challengeable claim about a person must be backed up by a reference.
I would suggest you try other, easier edits first to get more familiar with Wikipedia and its policies and guidelines before embarking on an article. You can find edits to make via your homepage, at the Task Center, or by exploring various Wikiprojects – let me know if you have any more questions on this. If you still want to try for an article, make sure to read and follow Your First Article – it should give you what you need to get started.
Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions, and happy editing! Perfect4th (talk) 20:14, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Auden Schendler (22:00, 8 June 2024)[edit]

Hey, I just made edits to my personal page, and added a head shot, my book cover, and some biographical information. But none of it was allowed for citation reasons. Help! --Auden Schendler (talk) 22:00, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Auden Schendler, and welcome! Wikipedia strongly discourages writing about yourself for conflict of interest reasons, and has very specific sourcing standards. (I'm not sure what your exact question regarding sources is there – let me know if you have any further questions regarding that that I can help with.) If you're asking more generally about how to handle an article about yourself, check out the guideline for that here. Let me know if you have any other questions, and happy editing!
