Hi there! There is no article on Wikipedia you have to edit. Just pick one and start editing!

...but I also think that advice is somewhat unhelpful. I started off (and still continue to) editing articles about my interests; albums I liked, artists I enjoyed, things I found interesting. Eventually it'll come to you naturally. Rambley (talk) 02:01, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. Could you please clarify your question? Rambley (talk) 18:05, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to know about suggesting an edit for the Seymour Second Neighborhood Conjecture page. There is a newly available paper on arxiv that claims to have proven the conjecture. Someone said to me that Wikipedia did not allow links to pre-published articles, but I wanted to check on this. The paper is currently under review at a journal though.

The way the proof works though is that it begins with two different concepts - a minimum degree node that acts as a driving force and something called the Decreasing Sequence Property (DSP). Instead of trying to initially "search for" a degree-doubling node, the paper entertains the idea of exploring oriented graphs under the condition that the first neighborhood is strictly greater than the second neighborhood.

From there the paper sets up partitions from the minimum degree node (v_0) to establish a maximum bound on how far these decreasing sequences can get. These partitions wind up becoming a data structure - a well ordering of the nodes in the graph that help to do more than just order things. They help to group the arcs into two tiers, interior arcs and exterior arcs. These interior arcs are what help limit parent nodes from having their degree double, while the exterior arcs connect to the next container (partition).

There's an ultra important lemma - the weak decreasing exteriors lemma (WDEL)- which is critical to all of this. It is based on two basic concepts. The first is that there are no back arcs, as back arcs can cause set overlap. The second is that a node's "interior degree will double". What that means is that inside a container (or partition), we have a basic instance of the Seymour conjecture and that we can solve that local version of it. Once we were able to get around those two cases, the WDEL was proved.

Now we have a decreasing set of positive numbers, which cannot go on forever. So eventually we must get to one where the container is size 2. At size 2, a parent's degree will double. --Cgcharles7 (talk) 14:35, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! While I cannot comment on this synopsis as I am unfamiliar with the topic, WP:RS clearly states that sources must be reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. From your description, a pre-published paper doesn't seem usable for inclusion in an article.

Additionally, after doing a little more research, WP:ARXIV states There is consensus that preprints are self-published sources, and are generally unreliable with the exception of papers authored by established subject-matter experts. If you can find a link to the paper on a more reliable peer-reviewed journal, I don't see why it couldn't be included. Cheers. Rambley (talk) 14:45, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please clarify why you suspect copyright violation in the removed section of Draft:Monolithic active pixel sensor? MiljenkoSuljic (talk) 11:13, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've provided a link in the diff where the content was removed to the paper in which the text was lifted from. Copy-and-pastes from sources are copyright violations which are not allowed on Wikipedia. See WP:CV. Rambley (talk) 11:17, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is it because there is "ND" in paper's CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license? Anyhow, I have rephrased so it should no longer be a copyright violation AFAIU. Thanks for explanation. MiljenkoSuljic (talk) 12:22, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:COPYPASTE

In most cases, you may not copy text from other sources into Wikipedia. Doing so is a copyright violation. Always write the articles in your own words and cite the sources of the article.

Additionally, a CC BY-NC-ND license is not compatible with Wikipedia. It is still a copyright violation.

As a general rule of thumb, everything should be written in your own words. Not loosely paraphrased, not copied, written in your own words. Even quotes should ideally be summarised in your own words, but can be acceptable at times. Rambley (talk) 12:29, 12 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there, I have a question. If there is an article with a product image, and it has got a companies logo on and website link, even though it is a general question about the topic, is that truly allowed to promote your product? Thank you --KevinJDay (talk) 09:39, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional articles are not allowed on Wikipedia. Promotional drafts are often declined and deleted, and promotional articles are either re-written or removed outright. See WP:PROMO. Rambley (talk) 09:43, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but your iniital rejection despite there being several links and sources of the organisation dos not seem fair. You do not provide any specific reasons and have not even attempted to look at the page . Bigabdul (talk) 11:54, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The decline reason I gave was This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. This still rings true; there are no inline citations throughout this article. While you have added some external links after the draft was declined, there are no citations to verify claims made; just a list of links at the bottom. As the declining reason stated, see Help:Referencing for beginners and Wikipedia:Citing sources. Rambley (talk) 11:58, 13 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rambley, I hope you're well. I wanted to post an article about my great grandfather who was a famous professor of music in Poland. I've tried to stick to the guidelines and drafted a really factual and sourced article. Three questions: 1. How do I actually publish it? 2. I wanted to accompany it by a photo but the webpage keeps telling me that it doesn't look appropriate. The might be because it is a photo of an old album photo. Then 3, I want to link his bio to a page about a piano competition he was a juror on as there is currently a different (and incorrect) Marian Dabrowski referenced there. Anyway, your help would be gratefully appreciated. --Christopherdabrowski (talk) 13:47, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Hopefully these notes will help you out:

• Since you've noted this is your grandfather you're writing about, this means you have a conflict of interest. While COI editing is not banned outright, it is mostly frowned upon. COI editing needs to be declared, ideally on your userpage or on the article's talk page.
• To create a draft article, head to the article wizard. The wizard will give you some additional tips on declaring a COI.
• It is ideal you submit your draft through the AfC process in order to get an impartial second opinion on it. Articles also need to be backed up by multiple reliable secondary sources that cover a topic in significant depth to be published; assuming this is the one in your userpage, it does not seem to fit this criteria. You may want to try and find more reliable sources about your grandfather; if you cannot find any, he may not be deserving of a Wikipedia article.
• Images in articles must either be public domain (either through permission or copyright expiration) or have an adequate non-free usage description; more information about this is at Wikipedia:File upload wizard.
• If I understand your third question correctly, information about linking to external sources can be found here.

Feel free to reply with any other questions or concerns you have. Rambley (talk) 18:03, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, so, I haven't done any editing yet and haven't done this before either but I wanted to add a Wikipedia page about games that can simulate Turing machines or are otherwise named "Turing Complete" meaning that they do the same as a Turing machine, or could do so with no regard to time, space, or computer restrictions such as memory or computing power. There are quite a few of them such as Minecraft, Terraria, Conway's Game of Life, and many others. All the game really needs is some sort of wiring or a way to simulate the wiring, and an output such as a screen or light. This can be done with conveyors as would be seen in Hydroneer or Satisfactory or with similar items such as "gliders" in Conway's Game of Life. So in all, I was wondering if you had any tips on how to get started with that. --IkeTheKing7 (talk) 21:04, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, and welcome to Wikipedia. The first and most important thing to know is that articles are built off of multiple reliable secondary sources that cover a topic in significant depth. If a topic has no reliable sources, it should not be included. Secondly, original research on Wikipedia is prohibited. As mentioned before, articles are built off of reading sources and writing in your own words; original thought should not be included.

From what you've said, it sounds like you're wanting to write an article based on your own original research. Please do not do this. If multiple reliable sources cover "turing complete" games and specifically discuss the topic however, please see Help:Your first article to get some more information on article creation.

See Help:Your first article for tips on how to get started. If you work for this company, you will also need to declare a conflict of interest; see WP:DISCLOSE for tips on how to do this. Rambley (talk) 09:34, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

why do all my good edits get reverted --Private User15555 (talk) 23:55, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I took a look at your contribution history and I can see how many of your edits would appear to be disruptive, even if in good faith. Adding small snippets of text with no source (e.g. here), citing Wikipedia itself or adding large spaces into articles are not the most constructive form of editing and will often get undone; which most of the edits have. Even if you do not intend to be disruptive, it can come across that way.

If I were you, I would check out Help:Introduction and read through its contents. I would also start out making small copyedits (fixing grammar and typos, etc) and even watching how other editors edit in order to get a good idea of what constructive edits look like. By that time, you'd be ready to start adding content into articles. Rambley (talk) 10:00, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tim --Tim Vernon1 (talk) 15:19, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tim! Welcome to Wikipedia.

Assuming you want to upload your own images, I would suggest checking out Wikimedia Commons which allows you to upload images to the public domain, which can then be used in articles. Other users have also uploaded tons of images which can be used. If you find one you like or want to add your own image, you can add it like this:

[[File:File Name.png|thumb|Image caption will go here.]]

This is just how I do it, and there are plenty of other image settings. I'd suggest you check out Wikipedia:Uploading images for more guidelines on uploading, and Help:Pictures for actually adding images into articles. Thank you! Rambley (talk) 15:35, 1 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
