New Article
I have a new article called Split of CBS Corporation and Viacom. Can you review? Thanks! Merv Mat (talk) 4:17, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Merv Mat, I'm not an expert in this kind of article, but I'm worried it may get nominated for WP:AfD. It relies very heavily on primary sources and may not demonstrate lasting notability beyond one event. If you can find any secondary reports or scholarship about the split, that would strengthen the article quite a bit. Fritzmann (message me) 02:52, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

GA Process for Telephone-Pole beetle
Hello! About a month ago I had submitted a DYK nomination for the telephone-pole beetle, and you commented that it has the potential to reach GA status with some work. Would you be able to help me through this process? Thanks!MichelleLi455 (talk) 17:43, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- MichelleLi455, absolutely! I am currently working with the author of Thistle tortoise beetle to do the same process. Take a look at the talk page there; I would have a lot of similar comments for your article. See if some of those critiques are applicable and do your best to implement them, and then nominate it for GAN! I will probably be able to start reviewing it in detail sometime next week. Also be sure to carefully read the article and copyedit it for any spelling and grammar mistakes. Glad to have you working so thoroughly on this topic!

Question from RobertsC812 on User:RobertsC812 (18:48, 23 April 2024)
Hello I made a wiki page and it won't let me change the name to get rid off draft from the name, how do I do it? --RobertsC812 (talk) 18:48, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
- RobertsC812, I've added the template for how you submit on the draft. Please read the instructions there for what is required in the article before it is no longer a draft. Fritzmann (message me) 11:40, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
Redirect
Hi,
Mandazi is commonly referred to as Mahamri [1]. How would I create a redirect for the Mandazi page accordingly?
Any ideas for how to include this fact in the article and whether I can use this as a reference that Mahamri is often called Mandazi (since it says Mahamri or Mandazi).
Also, I think @Dr. Trafalgar D Water Law in the post above meant MTV Splitsvilla (season 15). He seems to be pretty active on that page.
Thanks. Pingy/Pongy 17:42, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hello DingDongPingPong, Mahamri is already a redirect to Mandazi. Reading the article, it also already mentions the other name in the infobox and in the section called "Preparation". Fritzmann (message me) 18:21, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks!
- But, in general, how do I add a redirect? Pingy/Pongy 20:13, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Help:Redirect gives a very good guide, and you can even create new redirects directly from that page. Fritzmann (message me) 22:31, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
Question from Fordeum (20:33, 25 April 2024)

Question from Birdephant on G. A. Vadivelu (23:18, 26 April 2024)
Hello! I'm just getting started as an editor. Dipping toe in, I tried to "copy edit" pages suggested by wiki. These pages had been flagged with issues larger than problems with copy. This one for example is highly partisan. Can you suggest a better approach to get started? --Birdephant (talk) 23:18, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Birdephant, thank you for your contributions so far! Yes, many pages that need copyediting also have other issues. I recommend looking at The Wikipedia Adventure, which is kind of a game-ified introduction to wikipedia. It will give you a lot of the skills you need to figure out those articles that are more complex, and even add information to things you are passionate about. I'm also available as a resource if you have more specific questions in the future and can help you with problems you run into. Very Respectfully, Fritzmann (message me) 12:40, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, that’s helpful - I will check it out. Birdephant (talk) 01:43, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
Question from DexterlyCell (13:28, 3 May 2024)
I want to create an article about Brawl Stars, a game by Supercell. Can you read this article and tell me how I did?
Brawl Stars is a free-to-play game by Supercell. Brawl Stars consists of many characters to choose from, each having their own abilities. Battle of in Showdown, or maybe try out the new Ranked mode. No matter what player you are, you are sure to have fun. Want a friend to join with you in the battle? With the friend code, you can! Just go to friends, tell them your code, and boom! If Showdown is too boring, than try the other game modes. Supercell is updating the game consistently, so you will always have something new to do. This game may be free-to-play, but it is also pay-to-win. Have some birthday money that you just want to spend? With the shop, there are always new skins, skins, and skins to buy! Let's dive into the Ranked game mode. In Ranked, you will be paired up with people of your similar skill level (like showdown, but different), and the games are chosen randomly. Every time the new season starts, there are modifiers that will change how you play. With all this excitement, what will be next! Let's talk about Gem Grab, a 3v3 match all about grabbing the most gems. When you die, you lose your gems. With this fast-paced game mode, you will be sure to tier up fast. Brawl Ball, the soccer-based game mode about scoring goals. Join in another 3v3 of fun! Thank you for reading this article. I will update this for some of the best characters. --DexterlyCell (talk) 13:28, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- DexterlyCell, this article already exists at Brawl Stars. I also recommend you read our policy on tone of writing in encyclopedic articles. Fritzmann (message me) 14:27, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- Could I update it? DexterlyCell (talk) 13:09, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- Due to repeated vandalism at that article, it is semi-protected from edits by new editors. If you have parts of it you want to improve with reliable sources, place a message on the talk page with your suggestion. Fritzmann (message me) 13:18, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

hello , how do i do this edit thing and do you have any tips for me ? --Nana4dresmi (talk) 12:57, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
- Nana4dresmi, is there anything in particular you are trying to do? The Wikipedia Adventure provides a game-ified introduction to editing, if that is something that interests you. Fritzmann (message me) 23:28, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
Question from KainatBatool12 (07:35, 8 May 2024)
Hey, I hope you will be fine. I need you guidance on adding a biography on Wikipedia how can I add and any tips? --KainatBatool12 (talk) 07:35, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- KainatBatool12, see this page on writing your first article, as well as the policy on biographies of living people. Let me know if you have any more specific questions I can help with, Fritzmann (message me) 21:03, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

- Adamindch, I recommend posting your suggestion on the talk page of the 21 Savage article, where involved editors will be able to comment and implement the change if appropriate. Fritzmann (message me) 19:01, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
Request for Review and Feedback on Michelle Valberg Article
Hello!
I am currently working on a new Wikipedia article about Michelle Valberg, a prominent Canadian wildlife and nature photographer. Given your experience and expertise, I would greatly appreciate your review and feedback on this draft to ensure its accuracy, neutrality, and compliance with Wikipedia's guidelines.
The article covers various aspects of Michelle Valberg's career, her contributions to photography, and her philanthropic efforts, particularly through Project North. I aim to create a well-rounded and informative article that reflects her significant impact on both photography and community support in the Arctic regions.
Here is the link to the draft: Draft:Michelle Valberg
I would be grateful for any suggestions you might have on improving the article, especially regarding the balance of content and adherence to Wikipedia’s style and standards.
Thank you so much! Best regards Bojamon (talk) 16:46, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Bojamon, I'm not particularly well-versed in BLP articles, but after giving it a quick look it seems to be in pretty good shape. Here are just a few things I noticed:
- There are a lot of subsections in the Career part; can you merge any of them? You can probably just have each of the topics be its own paragraph within the Career section, without needing any of the subheadings.
- Parts of the personal life section should not be included, like where she spends her time
- There is a lot of commentary on Valberg's motivations or commitments. These should be trimmed down and the article should focus solely on what she has done, or what recognition she has received
- Other than that, let me know when you submit the draft for review and I can assist with anything the reviewer might point out that I missed. Fritzmann (message me) 13:50, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for taking the time to look at it, I really appreciate the pointers and will make those changes. I'll let you know once I've submitted the draft for review! Thanks again. Bojamon (talk) 20:52, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

References
Hello, I would like to ask about adding citations and references. How to add it? I have added a reference on MTV Splitsvilla (season 15) article Ideal Matches section and that looks odd <a smiling face with a drop of sweat, conveying slight embarrassment>. Kindly help me learn and fix it. love love. Dr. Trafalgar D Water Law (talk) 07:07, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
- Dr. Trafalgar D Water Law, you added a bare URL which is why it looks strange. Try reading Help:Referencing for beginners to learn how to use the referencing templates like {{cite web}} which will give the proper format. Fritzmann (message me) 14:20, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from UBCYR829 (06:42, 22 May 2024)
Hello Fritzmann2002! I was curious how long (generally) does it take for my edits to be verified by Wikipedia and be approved? Thank you. --UBCYR829 (talk) 06:42, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- @UBCYR829: all pending edits on articles that have edit protection are approved by volunteers, so the time it takes can vary. In your case, another editor reviewed your edits within about half an hour, but they were reverted for a few reasons. The biggest one is that the lead of an article is supposed to be a short summary of its contents; in-depth details and commentary don't belong there. Those should go in the body of the article, where the bulk of the content is. If you have more questions about editing, feel free to let me know! Fritzmann (message me) 14:52, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
Question from AJagat (23:37, 3 June 2024)

Follow the instructions and let me know if you have questions along the way! Fritzmann (message me) 09:52, 10 June 2024 (UTC)

I'm wanting to start my own page to link my name that is already mentioned in Wikipedia pages. I'm a 74 year old guitarist Johnny Vernazza. Can't seem to get out of editing or the "Sandbox" Thank you in advance for any help as IT is not my forte' music is. --Guitram (talk) 16:30, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Guitram, I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do. This is an online encyclopedia, and only subjects with Reliable Sources meet our criteria for articles. Additionally, creating an article for yourself means you have a conflict of interest, which is also against the guidelines. Fritzmann (message me) 18:51, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes I understand. I want to have my own Wikipedia page. I have been a professional Union musician since 1963 playing on hit records in the 1970's. My name is mentioned on Elvin Bishop's page , but not high lighted. I have years of press, reliable sources, appeared on TV music shows in the 70's played on well over 20 LPs on major record labels including the #3 Billboard hit " Fooled Around and Fell in Love" What do I need to do? Can I do this myself or need to hire someone? Thank you Guitram (talk) 19:09, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- www.johnnyv.net Guitram (talk) 19:11, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Guitram, all editors on Wikipedia are volunteers, and paid editing is generally frowned upon. I'm not someone who knows how to write music articles, or is interested in writing them. However, I can recommend you to post on this page, which is where some music editors coordinate their efforts. As I mentioned earlier, creating an article about yourself means it will not be neutral or unbiased, so it is generally not allowed. What you could do is start a draft (click this link and then Launch the Article Wizard. Then if another editor wants to pick it up (which they aren't obligated to), they'll have a foundation and a starting point. Fritzmann (message me) 01:52, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Lorelaph (06:10, 15 July 2024)
How do I publish a citation in-text and also that same citation in the reference section? --Lorelaph (talk) 06:10, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
- Lorelaph, if you are using the visual editor, just click where in the text you want to include the reference, and click the "Cite" button along the top toolbar. Select "Manual" and fill out the appliable sections, and then insert. The citation will automatically format, and will also automatically include in the reference section. For a more detailed explanation, see Wikipedia:Inline citation. Let me know if you have any further questions, or if you need help fulfilling the course goals for your WikiEd class!

- KiraWorks, for an introduction to referencing, see Wikipedia:Citing sources. It looks like what you are doing is manually typing in an [11] to create a reference, where you need to click the "Cite" button along the top of your wikipedia toolbar.

GA Review Circles
Hi! I'm looking at your two of your recent GA articles – Hypericum sect. Adenotrias and Hypericum huber-morathii. It looks like they have gone through the GARC process. I'm concerned because they could be reviewed by people unfamiliar with the Plants project (and this could be the case in non-GARC reviews), and as you know, botany is complicated and the Project does (and in my opinion, rightly so) have some specific requirements (or best practices, if you prefer) for taxon and botanist articles. I have not spent time deeply studying these two yet, so I can't say that they don't follow ideal GA Plants project practices for taxa until I do that. What has been your feel so far about this new GARC process? Does it seem things get rushed? Would it be best if plants articles stick with plants reviewers for GA? Your thoughts welcomed. I had been on an extended Wikibreak (about a year and a half), and a lot can happen in that timeframe!

Categorizing species
When you categorize a species article using a genus category, you need to add a category key to ensure that the articles are organized correctly when the category is displayed, namely by the specific name/epithet. So for Glaucium flavum for example, add [[Category:Glaucium|flavum]]
. See the resulting Category:Glaucium. Peter coxhead (talk) 06:22, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from 333Anthony333 (16:56, 2 October 2024)
Hello,
I would like to create a new Wikipedia page for a professor at the University of Maryland. This is completely unrelated to my Socialism project. The professor I'm looking into creating a Wikipedia page about is not my professor, nor do I have any personal or financial relationship with them. I was interested in creating a Wikipedia page for him after hearing him speak at a Conference and I decided to search for him on the web and found he had many notable links about him on the web,but he had no Wikipedia page. Being I'm a student at UMD, if I create a Wikipedia page for him, will this create a COI? As I'm new to Wikipedia, I want to stay away from any activity that will leave my account in Jeopardy.
Best regards,
Anthony --333Anthony333 (talk) 16:56, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

DCWC closing update
The 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest has come to a close! After a thrilling finish to the event with a slew of submissions on the final day, we have our winners. With 608 points, Thebiguglyalien (submissions) comes in third with his series of Kiribati and Botswanan submissions; BeanieFan11 (submissions) flies into second place at the last second with 771 points after a string of good articles about sportspersons; and after leading for much of contest's three months, Generalissima (submissions) finishes with a whopping 798 points to take home the Gold Belt Buckle. Congratulations to our winners!
In addition to his spot in the top three, BeanieFan11 (submissions) also wins the special awards for submitting under the most countries (44 countries) and for writing the most articles about women (15 Did you know? nominations)! Magentic Manifestations (submissions), after making 16 submissions under the Indian flag—15 of them good articles—receives the awards for most submissions for a single country and most featured or good articles promoted. For their submission of one FAC review, five FLC reviews, and 20 GAN reviews, Simongraham (submissions) wins for most article reviews.
The results of the contest have far exceeded any expectations the coordinators had for it at the beginning: among the submissions to the event were 3 FAs, 10 FLs, 88 GAs, dozens of article reviews of every kind, and more Did you know? submissions than we can count! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed towards a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve. Thank you for participating with us in the contest and contributing to this effort. The DCWC will return next year and we look forward to seeing you contribute again! However, before that...
We need your feedback! Join the conversation on the talk page to discuss your reflections on the contest (even if you didn't participate!) and help us make it better.

Click the "Cite" button on the toolbar at the top of the page, and either enter the url in the automatic tab or use the appropriate manual entry and fill in the necessary field. For more information see Wikipedia:Citing sources or feel free to ask follow-up questions! Fritzmann (message me) 01:09, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- thank you SO MUCH! i have updated the ref using the "cite" button. ty for your help :) SmolPetra (talk) 01:39, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

Good topic nom
Hey, that's cool. I've not really looked into good topics and featured topics. In the Hypericum huber-morathii article, there is an error for one of your references (the type specimen on JSTOR), and also for that same ref, when I click on the doi link to go to the page to see it, it can't be found. Here's a copy and paste of the error on the article page:
Huber-Morath, Arthur (1948). "Holotype of Hypericum huber-morathii N. Robson [family GUTTIFERAE]". JSTOR 10.5555/al.ap.specimen.g00355120.

- That's weird, it looks like there was link rot for the holotype page; plus, now JSTOR has no hosted images for the species where it used to have at least half a dozen... I think they reorganized their catalogue of plant specimens. I was able to find the page though and fixed the error! Fritzmann (message me) Fritzmann (message me) 02:14, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Miztan9 (10:05, 24 October 2024)
Hello I have inline citations on an article “woji”, yet wiki displays “ This article does not cite any sources.” How do I fix this? --Miztan9 (talk) 10:05, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- Miztan9, other editors have responded to your concerns at Talk:Woji. I agree with their assessment, and encourage you to edit at the wikipedia in your first language, where your knowledge and expertise would be better put to use. Fritzmann (message me) 20:56, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
Question from KiraWorks (19:01, 25 October 2024)
Hi! I recently edited 'Kiran Gems' page. The 'History' section has 3 links to outside articles appended right after the words they should be hyperlinked to, but in the references section. Am I wrong here? Shall I shift them below by linking or let them all be? Thank you. --KiraWorks (talk) 19:01, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
