Question from FLOURISH N CHIMEZE (19:05, 30 October 2024)

good evening mentor,please i need the the tips for editing --FLOURISH N CHIMEZE (talk) 19:05, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

hiya @FLOURISH N CHIMEZE good question! it's a learning curve and hopefully Help:Editing is what you need. Mujinga (talk) 08:10, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Leopapayon (02:26, 1 November 2024)

Hello Mujinga, I have a question, i'm trying to make a page about a Taiwanese animated series which is really obscure and some cites are in chinese, it's called "Brave Animated Series" and i ask you, is acceptable use cites in chinese in the page despite not having so much references in english? --Leopapayon (talk) 02:26, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Leopapayon thanks for stopping by and welcome to wikipedia. Are we talking about Draft:Brave_Animated_Series? Nor having references in English is not necessarily a problem, but the sources in other languages must be high quality. I don't speak or read what I'm assuming is Taiwanese Mandarin, but i can see Facebook and IMDB mentioned in the citations. Neither are considered reliable sources because they are mostly user generated with no editorial control, per Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources#Facebook and Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources#IMDb. Hope that helps! Mujinga (talk) 09:48, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

The reason why Facebook and IMDB are mentioned is because there are not so many information of the series, so I used the information of the facebook account, and for the IMDB critics is because there not exist critics in sites like metacritic or rotten tomatoes. Leopapayon (talk) 01:04, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

@Leopapayon this is one of the tough things to understand when starting to edit wikipedia - if the reliable sources aren't there, then the series probably isn't notable in terms of having its wikipedia article. that's no judgement on the series itself, it's just the way wikipedia works. imdb and facebook are generally not acceptable sources per what i said above. hope that helps. Mujinga (talk) 13:09, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

alright, also could you please help me in something:

1. How I do insert notes in my wikipedia page?
2. If i have the poster of the series, how I do to Insert it using Fair Use?
3. How I do tu insert the episode list correctly?

Leopapayon (talk) 23:57, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

@Leopapayon hello again!

1 - not sure what you mean by notes - footnotes? maybe this is relevant - Help:Footnotes or feel free to ask again

2 - you can follow MOS:FILMNFI - the image must be sufficiently low quality

3 - MOS:TVEPISODELIST explains how to do it and/or look at some other similar articles for inspiration. Mujinga (talk) 01:21, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Tagging people in change logs

hey Munjinga! So just a few minutes ago I fixed some vandalism on a page and I was trying to @ the person who did it (eg. "Reverted vandalism by (@username)" and was wondering how I @ the person (sorry if I worded that weirdly I can elaborate on what I mean if needed) Benamin16 (talk) 01:34, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Hey @Benamin16! Great job fixing that vandalism. To mention someone on Wikipedia, you use their username in double brackets like this: @[[User:Username|Username]]. So in your edit summary, you could write something like: "Reverted vandalism by @[[User:Example|Example]]." Hope this helps!

Cheers, (a friendly TP stalker) Macrobreed2 (talk) 19:06, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Yes what Macrobreed2 said! Thanks for passing by both of you. Mujinga (talk) 19:14, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

User name

Hello dear mentor,

I wish to change my name here, as I find my current user name very impersonal. Is that possible? Thank you very much. 40S9350144 (talk) 16:31, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

@40S9350144 good question - you can follow the process outlined at Wikipedia:Username policy#Changing your username, although you could just start again. hope that helps! Mujinga (talk) 16:38, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

"start again"? Make a new account with my preferred username? 40S9350144 (talk) 17:03, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

@40S9350144, Here are few steps:

1. Please read - Wikipedia:Changing username § Must read.
2. Check new username availability at Global account information.
3. Click here (find this link at WP:CHUS)
   • Add your desired username after NEW=
   • Add a reason for the change after REASON=
   • Do not change anything after CURRENT=
4. While placing the request, double check the username. (In case you made a mistake, see Template:Renameuser/doc)

Follow these steps, you would now be able to request the username change. If you face any problem feel free to write here and tag me (I am a friendly tp watcher) or @Mujinga. Macrobreed2 (talk) 16:51, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks Macrobreed2! 40S9350144 (talk) 17:02, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the careful review @Spookyaki Mujinga (talk) 18:17, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Good GA!

Kudos on getting Pat Gros to GA! The UFF is a fascinating bit of militant history that often gets overshadowed by the other currents in the period. I had the chance to interview Levasseur once and ever since I've wished our coverage of the group on-wiki was higher quality; happy to see that start to change. :) Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 17:41, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

@Generalissima that's kind of you to say. I bet Levasseur was a character, is it possible to read the review? No worries if you don't want to share for whatever reason. Have you read Diana Block's 'Arm the spirit'? That's a very interesting feminist account of another underground group from the same time. Mujinga (talk) 18:21, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Marshallwalker10 (19:37, 20 November 2024)

How add images --Marshallwalker10 (talk) 19:37, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

@Marshallwalker10 hi there, just so you know when uploading any image, one must make sure to use the correct copyright info, otherwise the pic will be deleted very quickly. this article gives details on the how - Wikipedia:Uploading images. good luck! Mujinga (talk) 22:19, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Samip Sapkota (15:59, 23 November 2024)

hey there, I am new here. I wanted to write some article for some famous peoples of Nepal because I noticed it wasn't available in Wikipedia . I want your ideas and tips on this... --Samip Sapkota (talk) 15:59, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Samip Sapkota wow yes I would love to help with getting more notable Nepali people onto english wikipedia! That would be a great way to counter systemic bias. As you might have seen, I have created a few Nepal-related articles such as Rukshana Kapali, Pinky Rajgarhia and Squatting in Nepal, but I don't have a connection to Nepal and I'm sure you can suggest many more. It's good you check in first, since it can be very frustrating to create an article then see it deleted, because learning how wikipedia functions does take a while. Perhaps you can start making some drafts as subpages of your own space - what I mean is you have User:Samip Sapkota, your as yet uncreated user page, then you can have User:Samip Sapkota/yourpagehere as subpages. I'd suggest giving Wikipedia:Notability a read to see what a wikipedia article requires, in very short we need significant coverage in reliable sources such as books, academic articles and national newspapers. Any questions, feel free to ask, I'm happy to help. All the best and I left some helpful links at User talk:Samip Sapkota Mujinga (talk) 16:23, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Kentoop (00:58, 25 November 2024)

Hello, I have personal knowledge of Sir Norman Anderson, and more of his son Hugh. I would like to add a couple of small facts to the article, but have never done this. Please advise me how to proceed. Dr Ken Toop --Kentoop (talk) 00:58, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Kentoop and thanks for asking this question, which comes up a lot. A difficult thing for new users of wikipedia to relaise is that it requires information to be cited to reliable sources (such as national newspapers, academic articles, books from a reputed publisher and so on) so that even if you know something to be true anecdotally it will be deleted without proper sourcing. Nobody disputes what you know to be true, but it must be sourced. If you have facts which you can cite then that's fine, but it would also be worth declaring you have a conflict of interest regarding the Andersons, since you know them personally. Again, not a problem, but good you have stated it and I'd advise giving Wikipedia:Conflict of interest a read. Let me know if I can be of further help on this. Mujinga (talk) 11:08, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Resear2040 (17:37, 25 November 2024)

how do i create a citation and how can i add manual references?? --Resear2040 (talk) 17:37, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

@Resear2040 hellos and welcome to wikipedia! Wikipedia:Citing sources gives you information on how to cite - I normally use Template:Citation which appears for me when i an edit window (i say for me because im not sure which version of wikipedia you are using). Hope that helps! Mujinga (talk) 19:21, 25 November 2024 (UTC)

i usually use wikipedia from the website. but anyways thnx! Resear2040 (talk) 03:44, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

@Resear2040 i also use from the website, but i don't use visual editor and have an old skin as well. in any case def using the citation template helps and if you can reach the edit box, then you can populate it from an isbn or doi which saves time! Mujinga (talk) 08:11, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from J. Geerink (09:59, 26 November 2024)

Please delete my old account "JusrAnotherPedant" containing a typo. "User accounts with few or no edits might not be renamed, as it is quicker and easier to simply create a new account." WP:UNC

Thank you! --J. Geerink (talk) 09:59, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

@J. Geerink hiya and welcome on your new account! i don't have the power to delete accounts myself, i'll see where you ask that ... Mujinga (talk) 13:17, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

oh ok WP:UNC also says "It is not possible to delete user accounts, as all contributions must be assigned to some identifier, either a username or an IP address" so it's fine as is Mujinga (talk) 13:19, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Ah, okay. I did read the article, but thought it would be possible to delete the old, unused account, as I hadn't made any contributions yet. J. Geerink (talk) 10:45, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
