Hi Jeffry. I am looking to create a page on behalf of my company. --Claire Lilley (talk) 11:47, 29 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Claire Lilley So far you're doing everything the right way, from looking into your contributions, you have disclosed your connection to the company that you work for and wish to create an article for so that's good. I also see that you have started to work on the page in a subpage, which is fine, once you have completed that work in the subpage, and you think it's ready to be pushed to the main space, you should submit it to Articles for Creation that way it can be reviewed by a third party to see if its ready and meets the relevant guidelines. If the article is accepted, it will be published into the main space. Jeffrey R. Clark • talk • contribs 05:56, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks, Jeffrey. Claire Lilley (talk) 11:09, 3 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Claire Lilley Your welcome. Jeffrey R. Clark • talk • contribs 11:13, 3 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve proposed an update to the lead section of the Hubstaff article to better reflect WP:LEAD and WP:NPOV. The current lead jumps straight into criticism before describing what the company actually does.

My suggestion (posted on the Talk page) keeps all existing sources and criticism but starts with a more neutral description of the company and its software.

What’s the best way to move this forward as someone with a COI? And how should I respond if editors see this as promotional, even though I’ve followed guidelines and kept everything sourced? Thanks so much for your guidance! --Rashika Mukherjee (talk) 15:25, 30 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Rashika Mukherjee First make no further edits to the Hubstaff article, you have already posted an edit request you will just need to wait for a third party editor to come and review it. Jeffrey R. Clark • talk • contribs 06:09, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Jeffrey. Understood. I won’t make any further edits myself. Just to clarify, is there a typical timeframe for when a third-party editor might review and respond to the request on the Talk page? I just wanted to check if there’s anything else I should expect in the meantime.

Thanks again for your guidance! Rashika Mukherjee (talk) 15:50, 2 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Rashika Mukherjee Well as of right now there is a big backlog, so cant say for sure how long it will take. Jeffrey R. Clark • talk • contribs 11:14, 3 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. Rashika Mukherjee (talk) 16:27, 4 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Jeff/Jeffrey/Mr. Clark, how do I make an article on Wikipedia? I'm new to this... --Youcantgeteverything (talk) 14:54, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Youcantgeteverything This article is a good read for creating your first article. Jeffrey R. Clark • talk • contribs 23:43, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I am mostly interested in citations.

I have a question about this one: Would https://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/every-picture-tells-a-story-6364662/

Be a reputable enough source for the claim: " Larry Gelbart had a sister, Marcia Gelbart Walkenstein.[citation needed]" ?

The source in question is not listed on Wikipedia's sources list. Thanks! --NoneDynamics (talk) 22:59, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@NoneDynamics looks like a good source to me. Jeffrey R. Clark • talk • contribs 23:44, 1 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

What do I do if this article was recommended to edit, yet it seems almost perfect? --Jaxx99 (talk) 22:21, 3 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Jaxx99 Articles that are recommended are done so randomly, so just move on to another article if you think nothing can be done to improve upon it. Jeffrey R. Clark • talk • contribs 22:40, 5 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

What makes a topic notable enough for a Wikipedia page? --Tulshidhar Bhandari (talk) 10:21, 6 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Tulshidhar Bhandari A topic is notable when it has received significant coverage in third party sources that are independent of the subject. This article goes into more depth on Notability and would be a good thing for you to read to get a better understanding. Jeffrey R. Clark • talk • contribs 04:20, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I need to contact you. --Mujeebanjum990 (talk) 13:23, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Mujeebanjum990 What can I help you with. Jeffrey R. Clark • talk • contribs 04:10, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, i just have one thing to ask and it is, How to start and where? Thanks. --Sir smo (talk) 14:35, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Sir smo This Article is a great resource on creating your first article. Jeffrey R. Clark • talk • contribs 04:22, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I am writing to disclose a conflict of interest and to request independent review.

A draft article about me, Keyvan Samadi, has been prepared in my user sandbox. I am an Iranian human rights activist and former political prisoner. Due to COI concerns, I will not publish the article myself.

The draft is based entirely on independent, reliable secondary sources, including: – Die Zeit – CNN – IranWire – Journal21 – de Volkskrant

I would be grateful if an independent editor could review the draft and, if it meets Wikipedia’s notability and neutrality standards, consider moving it to the mainspace.

Thank you for your time and consideration. --KeivanSamadi (talk) 11:20, 9 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@KeivanSamadi I don't approve articles that are in processing vie AFC from users that I'm mentoring. You have started the process of having the draft reviewed by a third party, which may take some time as there is a bit of a backlog. As for your conflict of interest, you should post notes on your User page and the talk page of the draft that you have a conflict of interest, as you are the subject of the article that you are trying to publish.

Hello, I was making changes to a Wikipedia page and was almost finished, but the page reloaded and I can no longer see my changes. What is the best way to restore them? --Pulsedlaserbeam (talk) 23:01, 10 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Pulsedlaserbeam You will have to start over there is currently no way to restore an unsaved edit. Jeffrey R. Clark • talk • contribs 02:45, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I see, thank you for letting know! Pulsedlaserbeam (talk) 09:15, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Pulsedlaserbeam Your welcome. Jeffrey R. Clark • talk • contribs 02:21, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello --Pelumighty01 (talk) 21:32, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

How do k create citations --Pelumighty01 (talk) 21:33, 12 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Pelumighty01 Sorry for the really late reply, life got in the way a bit. As for your question, this help page gives a more in-depth explanation than I could, hope that helps. If you have more questions, feel free to ask. Jeffrey R. Clark • talk • contribs 10:05, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jeff, it's nice having you as my mentor. I would love to learn from you with the notable years of experience you have how to create good articles on Wikipedia. Looking forward to your swift response.

Kind Regards! --Iririservices (talk) 22:31, 14 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Iririservices Sorry for the late reply. Welcome to Wikipedia, My advice to you would be for you to read the following pages First, Biographies of living persons, Neutral point of view, No original research, and Verifiability as these are the keys to working on Wikipedia articles.

hey Jeffrey R, Can you help me with Editing part. I am novice in Wikipedia, and this is my first published. --Keya Adam (talk) 16:43, 18 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Keya Adam My advice to you would be for you to read the following pages First, Biographies of living persons, Neutral point of view, No original research, and Verifiability. Before even starting to write your first article. Jeffrey R. Clark • talk • contribs 10:14, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm pretty new to Wikipedia and honestly still figuring out how everything works. I tried deleting some stuff from Paul Fireman's page that didn't seem important, but another editor told me I did it wrong? On my talk page I suggested maybe rewording it instead but they never got back to me. Not really sure what I'm supposed to do next or who to ask --Tsitp33 (talk) 19:33, 18 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Tsitp33 It would be better for you to post a message on the talk page of the article you're trying to edit with an explanation of your proposed changes. Not everyone replies to talk page messages unless pinged. Jeffrey R. Clark • talk • contribs 10:18, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

That makes sense! I actually did drop the message on the talk page for Paul Fireman are you able to look at it and let me know your thoughts? If not I can ping someone specific. Tsitp33 (talk) 16:01, 24 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Sir, how do i create an article? and als that are u a bot? --ObnoxiousWIKIGUY (talk) 07:17, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@ObnoxiousWIKIGUY I'm a real live person, as for your question. My advice to you would be for you to read the following pages First, Biographies of living persons, Neutral point of view, No original research, and Verifiability. Jeffrey R. Clark • talk • contribs 10:19, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ~ I was stationed on the USS Enterprise for 2 tours in the 1970s. When reading her online article today I noticed that it said there was a Citation Needed concerning the beer that was brewed by a Hobart Tasmania brewery during our visit there 10/29 to 11/4/76. I have one of those labels but when I tried to upload a .jpg of it I was told that I didn't have authority to do so. --78goldwing (talk) 16:58, 23 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jeffrey, I offered to translate this page into French and add to Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Cribb I spoke with Julian Cribb and he appreciates my offer to help. However, I am concerned about my lack of knowledge on Wikipedia. The translation is done but I do not know the best way to proceed. Can you please give me some pointers? Thanks very much Stephen --Stephen Arthur Morris (talk) 00:52, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
