User talk:NoahKale

Welcome!

Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.

Hello, NoahKale, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.


Why can't I edit some particular pages?
Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only administrators can edit them. If this is not the case, you may have been blocked or your IP address caught up in a range block.
Where can I experiment with editing Wikipedia?
How do I create an article?
See how to create your first article, then use the Article Wizard to create one, and add references to the article as explained below.
How do I create citations?
  1. Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
  2. Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
  3. In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
  4. Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
  5. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl+C or Apple+C), the resulting text (it will be something like <ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing).
  6. In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl+V or Apple+V) the text you copied.
  7. If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References==
{{Reflist}}
What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?
A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. (See this page for a complete list of WikiProjects.) If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

Welcome to the drive!

Your submission at Articles for creation: Rebecca Herzig (August 29)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by SafariScribe were:
This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. I'll find some more reviews for her other works and expand that section! NoahKale (talk) 17:05, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Noodles!

ButterNoodle has given you some noodles! This stringy starchy slurpy staple dish promotes WikiLove and has hopefully made your day better.

Spread noodliness and WikiLove to someone else — whether it be a good friend or someone you've disagreed with in the past — by adding {{subst:Send noods}} to their talk page with a friendly message!

Rebecca Herzig, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out as Stub-Class or Start-Class and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Hi NoahKale, I took the liberty of resubmitting the draft on your behalf so I could accept it. There's enough coverage about her/her work, even if it is not cited in the article, that she meets notability. I still encourage you to create an article about Plucked. It's an easy pass. S0091 (talk) 19:30, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's great, thank you! I'm definitely interested in continuing to work on the Herzig article, and work on a Plucked one too. I really appreciate your advice through the process! NoahKale (talk) 19:33, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Anytime! To be honest I was disappointed another reviewer declined it given my comments made it clear additional sources exists and it was clear you were engaged. However, I had forgotten about it until you updated your User page today which popped up on my WP:Watchlist. If you need help, I suggest reaching out to WikiProject Women in Red which is a highly active project with helpful editors whose focus is expanding Wikipedia's coverage of women and related topics.
