Question from Angelstars24 (20:10, 23 July 2024)
Hello, I wanted to take a look at the Electro Freeze wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electro_Freeze) and update information on that page. What pointers would you provide to me for general information to add in or update? I've never put any updates into Wikipedia so I'm not sure how any of it works. If you could point me to tutorial pages to go through, that would be good as well. I see there's a link on the side of the page that says "Learn to edit" -- I'll go through that as well. --Angelstars24 (talk) 20:10, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello. Some basic pointers I would give is familiarize yourself with our core content policies, our refrencing guide for begginers, and the 5 pillars of Wikipedia. Make sure you provide reliable sources for your edits, and use edit summaries. If you have more questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Happy editing!

Question from Opukeme (19:06, 24 July 2024)
Hello how do I create a citation --Opukeme (talk) 19:06, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello. This page should provide the info you need. Happy editing! GrayStorm(Complaints Dept.|My Contribs.) 19:40, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
Question from SisterPhraed on Help:Referencing for beginners (20:20, 25 July 2024)
Hello! If I have my entire article, including end notes, can copy and paste it all at once or do I need to add each reference in line as I go along? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question . . . this is the first time I've ever done anything like this! Thanks! --SisterPhraed (talk) 20:20, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello. Don't worry, the only stupid question is thinking you don't need to ask any questions. You should add each reference in line with the statement it supports. For example, If reference 1 supported the claim made in only one sentence, then I would add that reference onto that sentence, and only that sentence. Hope this helps. Happy editing!

Question from SisterPhraed on User talk:GrayStorm (15:18, 27 July 2024)
Hi, I am trying to use visual editing, but don't see how to insert references/citations - the directions say to click edit, but I don't see where that is. Thanks! --SisterPhraed (talk) 15:18, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from SisterPhraed on Draft:Greta Risley (17:40, 27 July 2024)
How can I totally remove a draft article? Thanks --SisterPhraed (talk) 17:40, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello. Assuming you are the only editor to make any significant edits to the page, you can simply put “{{db-g7}}” on the page, and it should be deleted by an admin shortly thereafter. Happy editing! GrayStorm(Complaints Dept.|My Contribs.) 18:18, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
Question from SisterPhraed on Draft:Greta Risley (12:20, 28 July 2024)
When I try to make additions and updates to my article they disappear! I don't know what's going on - even if I hit publish the changes aren't saved. Is there some way to save? --SisterPhraed (talk) 12:20, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello. This sounds like it is probably an issue on your end. I would make sure you have a good internet connection, and try reloading the page after you hit publish. If that doesn’t work, let me know. Happy editing! GrayStorm(Complaints Dept.|My Contribs.) 14:44, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Decalso (17:27, 30 July 2024)
Hello! Could you briefly explain or provide a template citing within a information table? It is easy on the visual side in the paragraphs but I dont know how to add one in the text box. --Decalso (talk) 17:27, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello. It sounds like you're using visual editor. You should be able to double click a cell from the table, and then add the citation like you would in a paragraph. Hope this helps, happy editing! GrayStorm(Complaints Dept.|My Contribs.) 17:32, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

- Hello. Please use mentorship questions for asking questions about editing wikipedia. You can work on article drafts in subpages of your userspace, such as your sandbox. Please also note that creating an autobiography on wikipedia, as you seem to be doing, is strongly discouraged. If you choose to go through with creating an autobiography, you should declare your conflict of intrest with the article, and sumbit it through articles for creation. Again, I highly discourage creating an autobiography on Wikipedia, but if you choose to do so anyway, following these steps is the proper way to go about it.

Question from Thatonegroingly (06:13, 3 August 2024)
Hey, im wanting to make a page on an artist ive been looking into who doesnt have much online info about themselves online in order to provide a source for others who want to look into this artist. Im not sure if this counts as a COI however i flagged it just in case. Because of the lack of sources ive been gathering information from the artist directly, not for the wiki for an assignment im doing on them. Of course if this is to much of a COI ill leave it as i completely get why COI's should be avoided when making or editing a page. However i did want to know, how do you make a page as a source for a topic there arent many sources on? --Thatonegroingly (talk) 06:13, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hello. First of all, it does not seem like this constitutes a COI. Second, if you can not find significant coverage of this person in reliable sources independent of the subject, then they are simply not notable enough to warrant an article. Hope this helps, happy editing! GrayStorm(Complaints Dept.|My Contribs.) 16:31, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
