Hi! How should I start Wikipedia page for myself? --AndrealaarART (talk) 21:41, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

AndrealaarART, per WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY, you shouldn't (read the page I linked for more information). — Qwerfjkltalk 21:51, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

hiya what do you recommend for editing stuff --Sky on pawz XD (talk) 22:47, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Sky on pawz XD, if you mean looking for things to do, see Wikipedia:Task centre. — Qwerfjkltalk 17:07, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

Is there something I could translate to Estonian wikipedia about Frida Kahlo? --AndrealaarART (talk) 02:10, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

AndrealaarART, yes, you can translate content from Frida Kahlo to et:Frida Kahlo. You will need to provide proper attribution, see Help:Translation and Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia # Translating from other language Wikimedia projects. — Qwerfjkltalk 17:07, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

How can you put my article on wikipedia --Thabiso Komako (talk) 11:33, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

Thabiso Komako, I can only assume from your username that you are writing about yourself. Per Wikipedia:Autobiography, this is strongly discouraged. — Qwerfjkltalk 18:30, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

Hey --Gladile (talk) 14:59, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

Gladile, hello! Any questions? — Qwerfjkltalk 18:30, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi, the D. P. Atapattu article has been a Stub since 2013. I have added some more information to it, can you use your bot to assess it again? Toffee Dude (talk) 12:38, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

Toffee Dude, you are free to assess the article however you want. — Qwerfjkltalk 15:26, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

I want to correct an error in a figure caption in the page on Fortran --RBWiringa (talk) 18:17, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

RBWiringa, and where are you having difficulty with that? — Qwerfjkltalk 20:27, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

I've never edited an article before, and instructions seemed to suggest asking how to do it RBWiringa (talk) 22:40, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

RBWiringa, it should be as simple as clicking the edit button at the top of the page, then just changing the caption and pressing "Publish changes". — Qwerfjkltalk 07:55, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

hello, I have posted an article about a well known News outlet in Syria and it was deleted, could i know what the issue is? --Syrianauthor1 (talk) 12:25, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Syrianauthor1, you don't appear to have created any articles on this account. Please tell me the name of the article. — Qwerfjkltalk 11:02, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

the article called هاشتاغ الإخبارية Syrianauthor1 (talk) 11:04, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

Syrianauthor1, I assume you mean w:ar:هاشتاغ الإخبارية (on the Arabic wiki). I can't help you much with other-language Wikipedia, but the page I linked gives the deletion reason. According to a machine translation, it is because the subject is not notable. If you want further help, you are welcome to ask me, but you will probably get more informed answers if you ask on the Arabic Wikipedia. — Qwerfjkltalk 11:14, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi Qwejfki,

I was wondering if you might be able to help me understand why my edits to a page got almost immediately rejected by another user.

I edited this page: https://en.wikipedia.orghttps://scientiaen.com/Portland_Japanese_Garden

Into this: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Portland_Japanese_Garden&oldid=1283840091

I was told by Babysharkboss2 "I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Portland Japanese Garden have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk."

I added multiple references, photos, links out to other Wikipedia pages and corrected a lot of misinformation. I'm confused how a few hours of edits could be done just in a matter of minutes. I doubt they actually read it that quickly?

Thanks! --WLernerPJG (talk) 14:09, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

WLernerPJG, I agree with you. @Babysharkboss2, reverting an edit because it feels weird, especially a good faith edit like this, is not appropriate. The second edit Portland Japanese Garden (Diff ~1283840266) was reverted with no explanation, even though it appears fine to me (though WLernerPJG should have updated the citation for the visitor numbers - I can see from their other edit that it is sourced to https://wpmedia.japanesegarden.org/files/id:af8d5c26bdb82db1ad2fc888545602ed/directUpload/PJG-History-2024-compressed.pdf). — Qwerfjkltalk 11:01, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

Thank you! And I appreciate the catch on that visitor number edit. Thank you again, I really appreciate the support. WLernerPJG (talk) 14:59, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

No problem! — Qwerfjkltalk 15:44, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi Qwerfjkl! Hope you are having a nice weekend :)

As you can probably tell, something is off with Qwerfjkl (bot) (BRFA · contribs · actions log · block log · flag log · user rights) appears to be a little trigger-happy with sending out mass messages for posts at WP:VPM (see MassMessage log). I've gotten two copies of Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)/Archive 81#Final proposed modifications to the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement Guidelines and U4C Charter now posted, and I also got two copies of Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)/Archive 81#Universal Code of Conduct annual review: provide your comments on the UCoC and Enforcement Guidelines. Would you be able to investigate? Best, HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 20:56, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

HouseBlaster, this is unfortunately a bug I know of (see User talk:Qwerfjkl/Archive 64#Bot sending the same message over and over again) - it's due to a bug in EventStreams, I think. I'll have a shot at fixing it tomorrow. — Qwerfjkltalk 21:20, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

Thanks, as always, Qwerfjkl :) HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 21:23, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

@HouseBlaster, I have now given a shot at fixing this (by logging all the messages it sends and then checking that list before sending a message). Let me know if the issue persists (or if the bot stops working at all). — Qwerfjkltalk 10:16, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Thank you, Qwerfjkl! I'll let you know if it is working :) HouseBlaster (talk • he/they) 17:44, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Can you help revise Draft:Sutter Middle School to proper article quality? --Folsom WikiDude (talk) 00:02, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Folsom WikiDude, as the author of the draft, that duty falls on you. I would focus on finding good, reliable sources for your draft. — Qwerfjkltalk 10:17, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

ok thx sry im new & bad Folsom WikiDude (talk) 04:11, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi. I submitted my first draft to draftspace. Was I supposed to select "mainspace" instead? Also, I am supposed to clear my sandbox. How do I clean up the redirect? --Flamingkapala (talk) 23:54, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

Flamingkapala, you can choose whether or not to use the Articles for Creation process. You seem to have cleared your sandbox successfully. — Qwerfjkltalk 11:23, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi Qwerfjkl, i would like to ask you about one issue!. i can not edit or add a particular article on Wikipedia Some articles are locked and they contain outdated informations or old pictures, so i request if you can change or allow me to do --Abdi saakir1 (talk) 14:55, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Abdi saakir1, you can typically make an edit request for such articles. What are the specific changes on articles you want to make? — Qwerfjkltalk 14:57, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

i did request but no response, the Article is about a Town which they added some misinformations and old images, so i wanted to edit and or add New representative images from (Wikipedia common) for the Town and Latest updates Abdi saakir1 (talk) 15:05, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

I can see here and here you added a section, but you didn't elaborate on what exactly you wanted changed. Remember that everyone on Wikipedia is a volunteer - they don't want to have to guess at what you want. I recommend you follow the steps at Wikipedia:Edit requests#Making requests and in particular the Edit Request Wizard (which you can also get to from my first link). Hope this helps. Qwerfjkltalk 14:28, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

v Abdi saakir1 (talk) 15:40, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Abdi saakir1, Talk:Las Anod (Diff ~1285080148) is not going to get anything done. You need to actually explain what you want changed and why. — Qwerfjkltalk 09:57, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

it's been the second time i added an edit request to the talk page of Las Anod, both times i clearly listed all my points and what i want to be changed and what i want to be replaced, i don't know what kind of strict rules do Wikipedia use just for a simple request.! Abdi saakir1 (talk) 11:55, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

@Abdi saakir1, the entire content of your request was "b". Qwerfjkltalk 15:20, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Abdi saakir1 (talk) 15:35, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi there

How do I create a page? --Theverify2025 (talk) 02:14, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

@Theverify2025, Welcome! Creating a new article from scratch is extremely challenging, and new editors are strongly recommended to spend a few months learning how Wikipedia works, by making improvements to some of our existing seven million articles before trying it. When you do decide to have a go at a new article, you are highly encouraged to read WP:Your first article. If you haven't already also check out WP:TUTORIAL; it's a lot of fun! Happy editing! — Qwerfjkltalk 14:29, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Dear Sir and Madam, I am new to Wikipedia at this time and I am facing a lot of problems while working. Like, the data of most of the companies which are listed in the Indian stock market is updated every year and every three months. I update that data in the old posts of Wikipedia. My problem with this is that when I update the data, I have to give its reference from a big media channel or news. But many times I have seen that there is no relevant data on those big news websites. And if I take data from a small website and give its reference, then that link is removed from Wikipedia. I have been told that I am spamming due to which Wikipedia can suspend my account. Due to which I am not updating any post on Wikipedia right now --Subhashyadav120 (talk) 07:28, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Subhashyadav120, you might have better luck using a primary source, where the data comes from directly. These should be more reliable. — Qwerfjkltalk 14:34, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

hello! I was just wondering, if I were to update some of my cities and their newest info, what would be appropriate on their infobox? for instance, mine just got an event center and I was wondering if that'd be alright to put up as an image. --Whynoms (talk) 00:16, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

@Whynoms, assuming the articles use {{infobox settlement}}, the documentation for using images can be found at Template:Infobox settlement#Images, nickname, motto. It suggests only using an image for the skyline. (If the infobox is differrent, check the documentation for that specific template.) — Qwerfjkltalk 10:03, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Do you know why Draft:Sutter Middle School got 3 feedbacks in 2 days but then its been quiet for the past week? (again sry if bad question im new & bad) --Folsom WikiDude (talk) 01:52, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

I should add, I know it says it can take months, but the previous responses were very fast. Is it just good luck running up? Sorry, I have been waiting for what feels like a while (it's not that long), and I feel impatient even though I know I shouldn't be. I'm really sorry for taking up your time. Folsom WikiDude (talk) 05:27, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Folsom WikiDude, yes, it may just be luck. Drafts are reviewed in no particular order. That said, seeing a draft that has been declined multiple times for the same reason can be off putting to reviewers - you might have better luck if you make more of an effort to address the feedback, instead of resubmitting. — Qwerfjkltalk 10:05, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. I'll try and work on finding more notable sources in the future. Folsom WikiDude (talk) 18:35, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I want to publish my Bio on wikipedia --Kwizerajean (talk) 02:26, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

I'm not the person you're supposed to be hearing from but it sounds you may have better luck on Rwandan Wikipedia, rw.wikipedia.org Folsom WikiDude (talk) 05:31, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Wait for Qwerfjkl to confirm though, they're smarter than me. Folsom WikiDude (talk) 05:32, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Kwizerajean, Folsom WikiDude is correct in that you will need to use the Rwandan Wikipedia. In addition, you probably shouldn't write an autobiography. — Qwerfjkltalk 10:08, 12 April 2025 (UTC)
