Rollback granted

Hi Estar8806. After reviewing your request, I have temporarily enabled rollback on your account until 2023-06-05. Please keep the following things in mind while using rollback:

Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle or RedWarn.
Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
Rollback should never be used to edit war.
If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
Use common sense.

If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Airplaneman (talk) ✈ 23:54, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of The Quene

A tag has been placed on The Quene requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Mary Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire (1646–1710) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Mary Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire (1646–1710), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:54, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Flora-cutie (10:25, 20 June 2023)

Hello I want to remove a dead link form the article and also want to change them with better websites.. How can I do this?? Can you give me brief introduction related to this.. --Flora-cutie (talk) 10:25, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Flora-cutie I'm sorry I took some time to respond. If you're looking to change an external link you can simply click the [edit source] button on that section and remove the dead link and replace it with the website you would like to. If you're looking to edit a reference within an article text, then please see WP:HOWTOCITE.

Also see WP:PROTECTED which demonstrates the types of pages you may not yet have permission to edit. In that case, you can make an edit request on the article's talk page.

If you need anymore help, don't be afraid to ask. Happy editing. estar8806 (talk) ★ 02:00, 21 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And what if they remove the link then what should I do.. Flora-cutie (talk) 14:00, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well in the case that someone were to revert your edits you should discuss why you want the change(s) to be made on either their talk page or the article's talk page (preferably the latter) and hopefully they'll respond and you can reach consensus as to whether your changes should be made or should not be made. This is generally part of the WP:CYCLE, which is not a policy but I (and many others I'm sure) consider to be good practice.

No matter what, if someone reverts your edits do not revert them back more than once or occasionally twice (unless you're reverting obvious vandalism). To revert an edit more than 3 times is considered a WP:EDITWAR, which can cause your account to be banned if you find yourself involved in one.

I hope this helps. Again if you have any more questions feel free to ask. Happy editing! estar8806 (talk) ★ 14:17, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

and what if that link is dead I changed it Flora-cutie (talk) 14:25, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Then I would presume your change won't be reverted. But if it is, the same ideas I mentioned above still apply. estar8806 (talk) ★ 15:38, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question from CMTELLER (23:44, 20 July 2023)

Hello. I am a writer with three books already published on Amazon. I wanted to write my profile, but the options available to select the type of article I am writing do not include "Profile." Biography is one of the options with Literature. Are those acceptable choices? --CMTELLER (talk) 23:44, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@CMTELLER Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for coming to me with your question. A key cornerstone of the Wikipedia:Biographies of Living Persons policy is that articles about living persons should not be written by those persons. Basically, Wikipedia does not allow individuals to write articles about themselves (for more information see WP:AUTOBIO). That's why you will not find a profile section.

Please do not write an article on yourself. If you do, it will most likely be WP:Speedy deleted. Thanks, estar8806 (talk) ★ 23:51, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Estar,

Thank you so much! I would love to be able to publish new content to Wikipedia, especially about some Hungarian talents who I think would deserve much greater recognition.

All the best, Karoly --KarolyLaszlo60 (talk) 13:23, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There should be some "mentorship tasks" assigned to you, I believe. Doing those should get you around ten edits. After you've done that, you can come back here if you like and I can give you some links to help you with article creation. estar8806 (talk) ★ 18:07, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

barry goralnick edit

I updated Barry Goralnick page to make the list of companies he designs for current. The list was outdated. "Goralnick designs product for a variety of premiere home and hospitality companies, including Villeroy & Boch, Watermark Designs, Currey & Company, Vanguard Furniture, Visual Comfort, and Stark Carpet" I also added his recent awards: "He has been awarded “Best Product Designer” by the ARTS Awards, the “Innovation In Design Award” from Cottages & Gardens (5-time nominee) and is a “Best of Year” Winner for Product Design from Interior Design." All of the above state facts. I don't believe there is a bias stated. GoGoProd (talk) 18:49, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you can provide a source for it all then it could be less biased. I do apologize, perhaps I was a bit short with reverting your edit and using a template. I should've gone ahead and helped. estar8806 (talk) ★ 18:52, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Do I need a source for each product line? If so, does it need to be a press announcement/mention or is a link to each companies website sufficient? I will look for the award announcements in the press. Or, can the source be barrygoralnick.com? It's all in his About section. https://barrygoralnick.com/about/ GoGoProd (talk) 18:58, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The source cannot be the subject's website as that is a violation of WP:BLP. It also shouldn't be a primary source (such as a company website), but rather a reliable secondary source (such as a newspaper, academic text, etc). estar8806 (talk) ★ 19:00, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to create a Wikipedia biography for my client, Dr. Kenneth R. Pelletier. --Inspiring Promotions (talk) 22:45, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Inspiring Promotions. Assuming by "client" you mean a person paying you for your services, or someone connected to you, then you cannot create a wikipedia page for that person as it is a violation of Wikipedia policy. estar8806 (talk) ★ 22:50, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, then should I encourage him to create one for himself? Inspiring Promotions (talk) 22:56, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No you should not, that is also against Wikipedia policy. estar8806 (talk) ★ 22:57, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He is an internationally recognized medical professional and best-selling author. What does he need to do to get this done? Inspiring Promotions (talk) 22:59, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You would need WP:Reliable secondary sources to prove that he meets the criteria of the WP:General notability guideline. If that's the case, you still should not create the article yourself or encourage him to create one himself. But, you could put in a request at Wikipedia:Requested articles/Biography/By profession under the appropriate heading for the subject. There, another editor will review the sources you provide with the request and determine whether or not he meets the GNG criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia. And if you'd rather come here and show me what sources you provide so as to get a response sooner (though more informally) feel free to do so. I hope this helps! estar8806 (talk) ★ 23:27, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that's great. I'll email you now. Thank you so much. Suzanna Inspiring Promotions (talk) 23:42, 1 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Honours of Scotland

Looking at the category "2023 in Scotland", I notice that a section from the coronation article is included as "Presentation of the Royal Honours of Scotland to Charles III and Camilla". Might that not be a more apt title? It's a bit more consistent with "Coronation of Charles III and Camilla". Maybe strike "Royal", though, just to have "Honours of Scotland". Just a thought. Cheers, Tim O'Doherty (talk) 14:28, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Tim O'Doherty That would be a fine title. It was one I had considered, but I went with what I did to be more concise. I hadn't thought of the consistency with the coronation article, so that may be better. estar8806 (talk) ★ 14:30, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's up to you. Either is fine with me. Tim O'Doherty (talk) 14:31, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My only worry looking at now (having already moved it) is that the honours weren't technically presented to Camilla, only to Charles. estar8806 (talk) ★ 14:31, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ben Netzer First of all, welcome to wikipedia! To answer your question, you should be able to move most pages if your account has at least ten edits and is at least four days old by clicking the "move" button, which may be located under the "tools" dropdown menu. If you're unable to move a page yourself, then you can follow the instructions to request a move at Wikipedia:Requested moves.

Page mover granted

Hello, Estar8806. Your account has been granted the "extendedmover" user right, either following a request for it or demonstrating familiarity with working with article names and moving pages. You are now able to rename pages without leaving behind a redirect, move subpages when moving the parent page(s), and move category pages.

Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Page mover for more information on this user right, especially the criteria for moving pages without leaving a redirect. Please remember to follow post-move cleanup procedures and make link corrections where necessary, including broken double-redirects when suppressredirect is used. This can be done using Special:WhatLinksHere. It is also very important that no one else be allowed to access your account, so you should consider taking a few moments to secure your password. As with all user rights, be aware that if abused, or used in controversial ways without consensus, your page mover status can be revoked.

Useful links:

Wikipedia:Requested moves
Category:Requested moves, for article renaming requests awaiting action.

If you do not want the page mover right anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Thank you, and happy editing! Primefac (talk) 07:39, 29 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Maria Walpole

Hi Estar8806. I noticed that you moved Maria, Duchess of Gloucester and Edinburgh to Maria Walpole. The only issue that I have with this is that now it is inconsistent with the article on Anne, Duchess of Cumberland and Strathearn (formerly Anne Horton), the other "unsuitable" bride whose marriage resulted in the Royal Marriages Act 1772. So, what do you think? Should both pages be at their maiden (or former) names, or should we include their titles? Because it does not make sense to do it one way for one of them and another way for the other one. Keivan.f^Talk 13:29, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Keivan.f, thanks for pointing that out. The only reason I had moved that was her maiden name was slightly more common (here's the ngrams[1]). Looking at Anne, it looks like her former name is more common than both her royal married name and her maiden name [2]. It'd probably be best to move that too considering WP:CONSISTENT with Maria and WP:COMMONNAME. estar8806 (talk) ★ 13:33, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The figures are there. It seems that their former/maiden names are more common. So, feel free to move the page. I just wanted to bring this to your attention because inconsistency in such cases bothers me a little bit. Keivan.f^Talk 13:37, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely get it. The last thing I would want to do is create inconsistency because it does bother me as well. I'll move Anne's page too. Thanks for letting me know! estar8806 (talk) ★ 13:39, 31 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Halfatoneoff on Anouska Hempel (07:09, 14 September 2023)

Hello. Apparently, you’re my mentor. Pleased to e-meet you. This is my first edit and it’s quite random but interesting and fun - very much like myself. It’s for the Anouska Hempel entry. I’d like to add a section ‘References in Popular Culture’.

Somebody who used to work for Anouska told me that in the TV Series Absolutely Fabulous, Anouska Hempel is the real life reference for Kalishia Klegg, an ‘actress’ with whom it’s implied that Patsy has starred in a soft porn film. However, she is now very grand and married to an extremely rich man, and about to become Saffy’s mother-in-law. --Halfatoneoff (talk) 07:09, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

War in Sudan (2023)

This article is linked from the main page. For future reference, please be aware of WP:MPNOREDIRECT.

Thanks for pointing that out. I probably should've let an admin close the RM, but I didn't realize it was move protected. So to that end, I didn't move it myself and had to put it in for admin move at RM/TR.

Question from Blooisbest (16:14, 6 October 2023)

Hello,

I'm writing about the Mount Ağrı article. This mountain is currently located in Turkiye's borders right now. But everything including it's name is probably edited by Armenians and that's not acceptable while the Mountain Ağrı is currently in Turkish soils. Do we call the mountains with their old names or the names given by another nation? I think no. Ararat is one of the many SIDE names of Mount Ağrı and is NOT the name of the mountain currently.. Can you help me about this?

Best regards. --Blooisbest (talk) 16:14, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Blooisbest,

I'm not quite certain what you're asking. You said you're writing an article, but you have no contributions aside from the question on my talk.

Hey, was just watching a documentary about Cartels in Mexico and then sought out some of the Wikipedia pages for some of the bosses. I noticed Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo didn't have a picture. So, when I went to edit and add a picture I was sent down a rabbit hole with copyright issues. If I find an image how do I tell if its copyrighted and if its safe to upload? --Ii Nova ii (talk) 17:18, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Ii Nova ii,

Thanks for asking this question. It's very important that we don't infringe on copyright laws. Generally speaking, most photos are copyrighted, except for those that are in the public domain. It's best to play it safe and not upload images that you're unsure of, though I would check out WP:COPYRIGHT for our relevant policies. estar8806 (talk) ★ 20:38, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion

Thank you for taking the time to review this page move discussion. Considering that there was no comment on the discussion, I would like to remind that Wikipedia is not based on vote counting of supporters vs opponents. The opponents of the move have failed to provide evidence on how their positions is based on Wikipedia guidelines; while supporters of the move have cited the relevant Wikipedia guideline and demonstrated how the new name is supported by overwhelming majority reliable sources. In particular, the main argument is present in this guideline WP:POVNAME: "the fact that a given description has effectively become a proper name (and that proper name has become the common name), generally overrides concern that Wikipedia might appear as endorsing one side of an issue." Looking forward to hearing your opinion on this. Makeandtoss (talk) 11:51, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You're correct, !votes do not a consensus make, but those !votes are helpful in helping editors close discussions by gauging how much support a certain argument has. I've written a post-close elaboration to clarify. estar8806 (talk) ★ 15:06, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Estar8806: Thank you for the detailed elaboration, objectivity and your time. I genuinely appreciate it. Please note that the quotes argument was made by one editor, not multiple; and that multiple sources that I referenced do not use quotes when referring to the protests such as BBC and this scientific paper (also other sources [4] and [5]). Furthermore, the use of quotes is not a justified counter-argument, as looking at the case of The Troubles for example, more than 25 years later, they are still being referred to in quotes by reliable sources such as Wall Street Journal, Associated Press, Reuters and Washington Post - to name a few. There are many other examples. Overall, the opposers have not provided any valid Wikipedia guideline-based counterarguments to the main argument that the Great March of Return is used in a significant majority of English-language sources. Makeandtoss (talk) 12:23, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Made be one editor supported by another who explicitly said agreed with said editor. estar8806 (talk) ★ 14:13, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The other user said he agrees its "colloquial", but doesn't negate the common name argument being made, to which I responded by comparing with The Troubles. Makeandtoss (talk) 14:35, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You make a fair point. I'll relist the discussion considering it didn't yet have a relist. I don't see the consensus changing drastically, but there's no harm in giving it a chance. I will, however, point out that we are not obliged to always use the most common name, Diana, Princess of Wales being an example of using a lesser common name for whatever reason may be the case at the time. estar8806 (talk) ★ 17:42, 23 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Again, thank you, I greatly appreciate your objectivity. In response to that, I would point out that royalty has specific naming conventions in Wikipedia, and thus the more relevant analogy would be with other historical events. I have added the elaboration on the quotes counterargument there to the discussion. Makeandtoss (talk) 16:29, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You're correct, though we often ignore those conventions. Nonetheless, it's a pointless argument. I appreciate your civility in bringing this discussion back to my attention. Happy editing! estar8806 (talk) ★ 16:35, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Erroneous page moves

Hi Estar8806,

I see you just closed three discussions and moved a bundle of pages from project namespace into main namespace per request, which is evidently against WP:SUB. As for the WikiProject to merge into, it should be Wikipedia:WikiProject Food and drink rather than WikiProject:Food and drink. I'm reverting these moves and leaving this for a further discussion. NmWTfs85lXusaybq (talk) 15:22, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@NmWTfs85lXusaybq Thanks for correcting that. There appeared to be clear consensus to move in those discussion. Which you be opposed if I were to move them back in the correct namespace? estar8806 (talk) ★ 17:51, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I won't oppose that myself since I didn't take part in these discussions. However, I would suggest asking for further consensus because a clear opposition exists in Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Wine#Requested_move_18_October_2023 per Anachronist and Horse Eye's Back and the extant page Wikipedia:WikiProject Food and drink/Breakfast task force is holding the correct target in Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Breakfast#Requested_move_18_October_2023. NmWTfs85lXusaybq (talk) 17:59, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:WikiProject:Food and drink/Breakfast task force

Hello, Estar8806,

Is there a reason why you didn't leave a redirect when you moved all of these pages? Because you chose not to leave a redirect, it created about 40 pages with broken redirects that I'm about to delete. Before you decide NOT to leave a redirect, please check "What links here" and if there are redirects to that page, then leave a redirect behind. It would be good to do this with every page move unless the article/page is newly created and is unlikely to have any redirects. Creating broken redirects just leaves a lot to clean up after a page move. And please do this with Talk pages, too...for some reason, I find page movers will leave a redirect for the main page but not for the Talk page and they can also have redirects pointing to them as well. Thank you. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:52, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Liz,

I'm so sorry if I've caused you a mess to clean up. I chose not to leave a redirect as I mistakenly thought they were redirects I had created in error. I hadn't realized most Wiki Project's don't have a colon after "WikiProject" and so I felt I had to correct that. Then there was a stale task force (with only one contributor and no relevant information) from about ten years ago at the correct name, so that had to be swapped and redirected. Looking at the task force page there's some clean up to be done with the deleted redirects. Thank you for assistance in cleaning up this mess and I apologize for whatever headaches I've caused you. estar8806 (talk) ★ 21:10, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Okay I think everything on the actual task force page is fixed now. Thank you so much for all your help. If anything else comes up that I can fix, I'll happily do it. This is my mess and I'll clean up whatever I can. estar8806 (talk) ★ 21:25, 25 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wabasca, Alberta to Wabasca-Desmarais

Hello Estar8806. I saw your non-admin closure of the above move. Based on the two links provided by the proposer, I understand why you did it. I feel it is safe to presume that you were unaware of significant additional information not discussed in the page move discussion. The lack of anyone commenting contributed to this. I missed the open discussion because I have been quite inactive lately.

Whomever maintains the website for the MD of Opportunity is seemingly unaware that the official name of the community is the Hamlet of Wabasca. This is confirmed in at least four official bylaws - the hamlet boundary bylaw, the Hamlet of Wabasca Area Structure Plan (ASP), the MD’s Land Use Bylaw (LUB) (do a word searches for "Wabasca" and "Desmarais"), and the MD’s Municipal Development Plan (MDP) (do the same word searches). In fact, the 2020 MDP unambiguously confirms that "Wabasca-Desmarais" is the former name of the Hamlet of Wabasca (see first paragraph in Section 6.2 on PDF page 32 of 63). The only usage of "Wabasca-Desmarais" in the ASP is in reference to the Wabasca-Desmarais Healthcare Centre/Hospital.

The fact that the text on the MD webpage provided by the proposer uses "Wabasca-Desmarais", "Wabasca/Desmarais", and "Wabasca" interchangeably provides little confidence what the actual name of the community is and doesn’t verify that "Wabasca" has been renamed back to "Wabasca-Desmarais", especially coupled with the evidence above.

As for the Statistics Canada link, StatCan is not the definitive source for the name of the hamlet. They often use old names long after they are changed. In fact, I informed them of numerous name corrections in preparing for the 2021 census and they processed them (i.e., "Pigeon Mountain" was renamed as "Dead Man's Flats" in the 1980s but persisted under its old name at StatCan for 30 years through to the 2016 census). Rather, the Government of Alberta is the definitive source for hamlet names. The 2023 edition of the annual Municipal Codes publication is the reliable, secondary source that verifies the hamlet’s name continues to be "Wabasca", which is consistent with all the bylaws referenced above.

Accordingly, please reopen and relist the discussion (and undo the move if this process allows). I will then post the above evidence as a latecomer to the dance. Cheers, Hwy43 (talk) 06:07, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

When adding a hyperlink in a wikipedia article I am editing, how do I hyperlink to a particular section of a wikipedia article instead of just the entire article? I am using the visual editor.

New page reviewer granted

Hi Estar8806. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page or ask via the NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:

Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page, including checking for copyright violations using Earwig's copyright violation detector, checking for duplicate articles, and evaluating sources (both in the article, and if needed, via a Google search) for compliance with the general notability guideline.
Please review some of our flowcharts (1, 2) to help ensure you don't forget any steps.
Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:03, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

House of Shavliani

Hello, you messaged me about deleting my article / page. I do not understand why it should be deleted, and what deletion critea it enters. If so tell me which one and I will try to fix it. Thank you for warning me. G1iorgii (talk) 18:12, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@G1iorgii It needs more reliable secondary sources. It appears that another editor has added some sources, so the deletion nomination has been revoked. The article still needs additional sources, however. estar8806 (talk) ★ 18:37, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Ester, Good Afternoon , Can you tell me what is the reason for deleting my creating pages ? And can I reverse it . --SamMahato (talk) 08:13, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @SamMahato, I’m afraid I don’t know exactly what page you are talking about. Could you please tell what the title was? Hopefully that will jog my memory. estar8806 (talk) ★ 15:18, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Ericssharps (18:03, 26 November 2023)

Good morning. A recent article about the potential antibiotic "aubacin" references "Paul Coy's" recent article in the New York Times. The author's correct name is "Peter Coy."

Thank you, -Eric --Ericssharps (talk) 18:03, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Ericssharps!

I can't seem to find the article you're referring to. If you still know where it is, be bold and change it yourself! Happy editing, estar8806 (talk) ★ 21:52, 26 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oops...sorry, I misspelled the drug's name...it's abaucin. And, I corrected the author's name from a recent NYT Opinion article. Best, -Eric Ericssharps (talk) 04:03, 27 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question from The Sister consulting on Wikipedia:Namespace (01:46, 30 November 2023)

Hi I am wanting to write a page for a media personality. I have set up the account in my name to write the article but should I have set it up in theirs? How does their name come up? --The Sister consulting (talk) 01:46, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@The Sister consulting I'm assuming based on your username that the person you are intending to write about is a client? If that is true, writing a wikipedia page about a person and being paid to do so is a WP:Conflict of interest and against policy. estar8806 (talk) ★ 01:53, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No he's actually a family friend so wasn't being paid The Sister consulting (talk) 02:05, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see. That's still a conflict of interest to write about someone personally connected to you. If you can find reliable secondary sources, you can put a request in at WP:Requested articles. estar8806 (talk) ★ 02:06, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question from XN-6F2AAC (12:48, 10 December 2023)

Hi! I'm just wondering when it's recommended to opt out of having a mentor. I would be fine with any answer (but no bad words). --XN-6F2AAC (talk) 12:48, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @XN-6F2AAC!

There's no standard recommendation for when to opt out of having a mentor. Personally I never used the mentor system, I learned as I went. However, I would recommend taking advantage of having a mentor as it would make things much easier. It's just a way to ask questions and get a little help when needed. It's all just a personal choice, but there's really no downside to keeping a mentor as long as you like. estar8806 (talk) ★ 19:48, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Iwill messageyouvia WikiPedia ifIhaveany questions.

Close on Twitter

Hey! I noticed that you closed the move request on the talk page of Twitter as a SNOW close but made no mention of a moratorium. I feel editors may not have had enough time to consider the moratorium. I agree with the SNOW close but was wondering if you had considered the mroatorium at all. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{blaze__wolf} 20:09, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Blaze Wolf Good catch! This has been discussed so many times I saw several "snow close" !votes and didn't even see the moratorium discussion. I'll go ahead and give that a little more time. estar8806 (talk) ★ 20:13, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good! I do agree that a SNOW close was warranted but hadn't even considered a moratorium. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{blaze__wolf} 22:15, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well it appears it was reclosed with the rationale that a moratorium is not appropriate to discuss in a move discussion. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{blaze__wolf} 22:43, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Wicped Assuming you're referring to this, the reason it is not being published is most likely the fact that it is not written in English. estar8806 (talk) ★ 18:58, 19 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @LanChien Tallant!

If you're interested in articles about Taiwan, I would suggest searching through Category:Taiwan. estar8806 (talk) ★ 21:59, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Estar8806, that sounds like a good idea.

Question from RushingGold (13:11, 30 December 2023)

Hi Estar8806, it is very good to have you as a mentor. My question is that what if I make an edit on any article and somebody reverts it saying I am wrong or something, then I edit back again to what I did before and the same person reverts it. This is a part Wikipedia War, how do you stop this where everybody agrees to one person's way of the article written. --RushingGold (talk) 13:11, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @RushingGold, That’s a great question and I’m so glad you asked. The best way to resolve content disputes before turning into to a complete WP:EDITWAR is to discuss it with the other editor on their talk page. If there’s more than one other editor involved, try the article talk page. If you do start a discussion on the article talk page, you can ping the other editors using the “@“ symbol (ex. “@Estar8806” is how someone would ping me). I hope this helps! estar8806 (talk) ★ 16:35, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
