A cup of tea for you!

Draft:Sivert Bakken

Hi! Thanks for giving me feedback on my draft earlier. I think I've improved it but I was wondering if I need more secondary sources - I've seen biathlon pages with less sources than I have, but I still would like to make sure. Thanks again so much!! Réunion (stylised) - (talk to me) 06:30, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

@Reunion: Hi there! Before giving the earlier feedback, I looked at Wikipedia:Notability (sports). Since there isn't a specific section for biathletes, WP:SPORTBASIC applies: "A person is presumed to be notable if they have been the subject of multiple published non-trivial secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject."

There are thousands of articles that don't meet the proper notability requirements, and you're welcome to improve them or nominate them for deletion. However, please do not compare your draft to poor articles - see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 17:42, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

I can't find my article Hook GEe (talk) 15:41, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

Question from Hook GEe on Wikipedia:Article wizard/HowToDiscloseCOI (15:16, 22 March 2022)

How do I create my own article --Hook GEe (talk) 15:16, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

@Hook GEe: Hi there! WP:AUTO explains that Wikipedia strongly discourages autobiographies. Creating a new article is one of the hardest things to do on Wikipedia, especially when you have a conflict of interest (COI). To learn how to edit, you could view Help:Introduction and The Wikipedia Adventure. I suggest spending a significant amount of time editing existing articles to hone your skills. When you're ready to create an article, you would gather independent reliable sources that have provided significant coverage of you, and determine whether you meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion of musicians, called "notability". If so, you would declare your COI on your user page, and then follow the instructions at Help:Your first article, and be prepared for a process that may include months of waiting, rejections, and rewrites, before an article is created. If you are successful, then you could never edit the article directly due to your COI, but could submit edit requests on the article's talk page. Hope this helps.

Seeking further assistance

I am sorry to bother you I went to the link about uploading a non-free image whenever I click on it it just reloads the page it doesn't give me an option to actually upload anything is that normal?CanadianHistorian(MMA & History) (talk) 04:16, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

@CanadianHistorian(MMA & History) I have no issues going to Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard and clicking the "Upload a non-free file". Try clearing your cache. Hope this helps! GoingBatty (talk) 04:22, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

I was able to figure everything out it just doesn't work on mobile that is all!!! Thanks againCanadianHistorian(MMA & History) (talk) 04:24, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

I take it back I still need help. I was trying to upload the image incorrectly so many times I guess somebody put it on some kind of blacklist it said that I had to edit that and remove it but I don't know where to find that section. I am really sorry to ask for help againCanadianHistorian(MMA & History) (talk) 04:35, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

@CanadianHistorian(MMA & History) Where did you see the message? What was the exact message? GoingBatty (talk) 04:40, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

One sec I will try to upload the image again to get it. It was for Bacchus MC I tried to upload it and it said something about a blacklist one second CanadianHistorian(MMA & History) (talk) 04:41, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Request for block/ban of hostile and disrespectful user and vandal.

Persistent vandalism with insults, clearly hostile, disrespectful, insulting, hateful and unacceptable behaviour towards users, also possible anti-Japanese sentiment. Request for permanent block and ban of IP address of 2603:301b:98:f000:61a0:6cfe:1d46:bbb4 and 2600:387:0:80d::71, clearly both the same user. Thanks.
