Hi, how do I add the little note at the top of a page that says "not to be confused with" etc? I found a page that needs it. thanks! Electricmemory (talk) 23:05, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Electricmemory! Try this template and let me know if you have any questions! Just out of curiosity, how did you find me, haha? Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 01:27, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I've done some digging and found some other templates I wanted to use as well. I found you as you're listed as my "mentor" on my home page. Electricmemory (talk) 21:07, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Haha that's weird since I listed myself as inactive as I'm actually taking an indefinite WikiBreak... don't worry about it though - I'm always happy to help. Though if I don't respond for a while apologies in advance and try out the Teahouse. Welcome! GoldRomean (talk) 23:04, 26 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, your name is on my homepage saying that. Odd. Thanks for your help! Electricmemory (talk) 19:28, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How do I edit! --YaYaYaRaiser (talk) 17:16, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! You can edit most pages just by clicking "edit". Some pages may be protected, and you may not be able to edit them until you reach a certain number of edits/account age. Hope that helps! Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 22:35, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello how can i create my business in wikipedia? --MS PIKIPIKI POINT (talk) 12:59, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome! It is generally not recommended to write about your own business, since it may present a conflict of interest and there may be notability concerns. Let me know if you have any more questions! GoldRomean (talk) 22:37, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Where do I find articles that are in most need of editing? I can't seem to find that section. --Uggupuggu (talk) 07:05, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and welcome! I don't believe that there is a specific "list" of articles most needing editing. However, some places to find articles to improve could be start or stub-class articles, articles which need copyediting, and newer articles! Hope that helps. Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 22:45, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, please help me understand why my Wikipedia page was deleted? How to I undelete? --TonyZ1 (talk) 06:51, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) It looks like you haven't created any pages, let alone made any other edits. Pages on Wikipedia can be deleted for any number of reasons, mostly because they might not meet the notability guidelines for inclusion on Wikipedia. Pages can only be deleted (and restored) by administrators, which neither you, me, or the owner of this talk page are. Hope this helps! Aydoh8^[contribs] 06:55, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to make a new article about a musician, composer, producer. How do I start? --Halleath (talk) 13:58, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Check out this page about your first article and don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions! GoldRomean (talk) 14:18, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello how can you create your own page about something? --Cliffordthecat586748y (talk) 21:45, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I highly recommend gaining some experience on Wikipedia before trying to create your own page, but you can check this out. Make sure that your topic is notable and covered by lots of reliable sources: and try to avoid conflicts of interest. Welcome to Wikipedia! Feel free to let me know if you hvae questions. Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 23:16, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What to do with a citation that the link doesn't work anymore and and the information requires another link? --Accurate NYC (talk) 21:54, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! While I'm not specifically sure what you mean, perhaps you mean that the link is broken? In that case, you could try to find an archived version of it or find another source to cite! In the future, Internet Archive Bot is helpful for preventing link rot.

Feel free to contact me with any other questions! Disclaimer though, I'm not a super expert in citation stuff so you might want to consider the friendly people at the Teahouse.

PS: You might want to consider joining WikiProject NYC, a group of editors interested in improving coverage of NYC! For a larger/more active WikiProject, you might want to also check out WikiProject United States.

Hi, I want to edit a new page on Adam Linder. He is a famous choregraph that already has various article on national newspapers. I wanted to upload a picture of him through wikimedia commons, and I was spamed by the antiparasite bot. But me and his team had sent a mail to wikimedia to release the right to use the file. Is everything else that I can do ? Thanks for your help Simon --Simononwiki1 (talk) 21:47, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, I don't think there is much but to await WikiMedia's response. In the meantime, you can continue working on your article and feel free to let me know with further questions. Or, possibly, get Linder/his team to release the photograph into the public domain. (By the way, you were not "spammed" by the bot, haha.)

Out of curiosity, why are you working on your page in the French Wikipedia? Since it is written in English, perhaps this Wiki would be better.

Also - friendly reminder about Wikipedia's paid articles and conflict of interest regulations, which require that you declare conflicts of interest and/or being paid to write an article if that is the case.

Subject: Request for Review and Publication of Draft Article

Hello, Mentor,

I hope you're doing well!

I have created a draft article on Wikipedia about Victor Sell and would like to request your review to ensure it meets the platform's relevance and verifiability criteria. I have followed the guidelines and used reliable sources, but I would appreciate your feedback to make sure everything is in order before publication.

If any improvements are needed, I would be grateful for your guidance on refining the content. The draft can be accessed at this link: [Insert draft link].

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!

Best regards --Gabrielli Dutra (talk) 13:53, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! If you're talking about this article, then it appears to be written in Spanish. I suggest heading to the Spanish Wikipedia in that case. Let me know if you have any other questions/requests! GoldRomean (talk) 17:03, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I was wondering about citing articles I've found on newspapers.com that are old. Am I able to cite the URL if I post the article on an image hosting site?

I'm new to this and very confused. I was a student at Robert Land Military Academy. Robert Land Academy is currently being sued by over 70 former students for physical and sexual abuse. Most of the information on Wikipedia was posted by the school and is very inaccurate. I have articles to prove this. What do I do? --Robert Land Academy Survivor (talk) 00:23, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! It would be helpful for you to provide the original newspaper in question, although this page may answer some of your questions.

Additionally, I would like to remind you to keep in mind Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy, which I strongly reccomend you disclose (although your username does obviously do that).

Cheers! GoldRomean (talk) 23:25, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Pleasure meeting you. I would love to create a page for the company that has been in business for a while. Would you have any recommendations on how to go about it? And how to avoid long delays in approval process --Revievemarketing (talk) 21:29, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! First - I recommend that you change your username, as WP's username policy states that your username can not be that of an organization. Check out your first article, and keep in mind Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy and that your topic has to be prevalent with many reliable sources about it.

Unfortunately, Articles for Creation is extremely backlogged right now, so your submission may take a while. I recommend making sure that your article is well-sourced and notable before submitting - tagging it with WikiProject tags may be helpful as well to speed up review!

Let me know if you have any further questions. Cheers! GoldRomean (talk) 23:29, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello can i ask you something How can I make friends --Mohau mokgomo (talk) 14:05, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Wikipedia is a place to work together to improve articles, not a social network. You shouldn't be on WP to "make friends" although you can collaborate with other editors! Hope that helps. GoldRomean (talk) 00:23, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can i watch xxx videos in wikipedia.org --Mohau mokgomo (talk) 14:08, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
