[edit]Hello, mentor, what are the requirements for posting a wikipedia article. I made an article about a settlement I lived in during my childhood. I am wondering how can I publish it so everyone can read about it? --Ahmed Jusa (talk) 10:22, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Bosodeniro (15:15, 2 February 2024)
[edit]Okay I'm saying "hello" and asking my mentor "how do I do this"? If you're my mentor and you're listening to or monitoring me, I'm trying to edit an entry or citation about Ground Hog Day. Where and how do I start? --Bosodeniro (talk) 15:15, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

- Hi @Xaverhiro 12, please don't edit war to reinstate your edit. It would seem that the addition of external links to the body of an article is mainly what caused your edits to be reverted, we almost never use external links in a body of an article. If you meant to cite a source, this page can help with that. See the message I left on your talk page for more helpful links. Thanks, v/r - Seawolf35 T--C 23:28, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I wish to edit the Wikipedia article on our family name/history, which is titled Scarisbrick. It implies that all spelling variations of our name devolve from the same village/town name e.g. Scarisbrick, Scaresbrick, Scaysbroke, etc. Whilst mostly this is true, and the town of Scarisbrick in Lancashire does date back to Domesday, and the Lord of the Manor takes their name from the town, the name Scaysbrook, whilst obviously phonetically similar, in fact has no link to that town, but to a small Dutch town, now part of Rotterdam, originally named Schiesbroek, but now the 's' (a form of Dutch apostrophe) has been dropped in favour of the modern spelling of Schiebroek. The translation is the 'brook of the River Schie.' So, Scarisbricks are a much older family. Scaysbrooks came over to East Anglia in the 16th century due to religious pogroms in Holland. They adopted the anglicised version Scaysbrook. How do I go about publishing a new 'Scaysbrook' article, separate from the Scarisbrick article? Sorry for the length of my question!! Phillip Scaysbrook --Scazzi (talk) 12:44, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

Reverted draftification
[edit]Hello. I wanted to let you know that I reversed your draftification of Los Picaos de San Vicente de la Sonsierra. The reason I did this is because articles older than 90 days should not be draftified without prior consensus at AfD, per WP:DRAFTIFY (point 2d). Hey man im josh (talk) 19:27, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Hey man im josh: True but WP:DRAFTIFY is an essay. People tend to forget that and I see admins doing it a good amount without consensus at AfD. That article is almost unreadable in its current state. IAR exists for a reason. v/r - Seawolf35 T--C 19:48, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Seawolf35: Draftify is an essay, but the point that I mentioned (2d) is not (relevant RfC). IAR does exist for a reason, but many interpret draftification to be a potential backdoor to deletion. If the article is entirely unsuitable for main space and it's been over 90 days then you should PROD or AfD it. If you see other admins moving pages to draft space without a discussion, then it may be worth asking them why. Hey man im josh (talk) 19:52, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
Question from Cavansyte on Draft:Tuva Halse (19:06, 8 March 2024)
[edit]Hi there. I think I need some help for a draft. I prepared this draft for the bio of an artist, I used a template for this, and I would like to save the draft to end it later before publishing. It is the first time I am preparing an article from scratch. I do not see how to save the draft, but there must be a way... I spent two hours to undetdand how to do that, it seems that I may need to create a subpage, which I have been unable to do... it seems very simple from what I can read in the many help pages I have read, but it just does not work... there must be something I miss... I think I need help from a human... --Cavansyte (talk) 19:06, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- Don't tell me that it is just by clicking "Publish" that it does not publish but instead saves the draft....???? Then the only way to go back to it is to go to the watchlist, correct? Cavansyte (talk) 19:23, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Cavansyte Clicking "Publish" saves the draft. You can search for the draft to get back to it as well. v/r - Seawolf35 T--C 19:47, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Good Article reviews
[edit]Hi Seawolf! I noticed you recently reviewed Queensboro Bridge for GA as your first review. All GA reviews are supposed to contain a source spotcheck; the ongoing backlog drive requires that, so I don't believe you will receive any points for that review, and you may be asked to reopen it to finish the review. Something to bear in mind with Carlos de Villegas, which I see you have picked up. Best wishes, ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 19:40, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
- AirshipJungleman29 I did a source spot check and it checked out fine, I just didn't put it onto the review, I will make sure to include it in the future. I am not concerned with the points as well. I am going to be quick-failing Carlos de Villegas, it is a long way from meeting several of the GA criteria, so no spot check is necessary for that one. v/r - Seawolf35 T--C 19:43, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

- Hi Bubba gorl19273, do you need help with anything? v/r - Seawolf35 T--C 14:37, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi Seawolf35. Yes, I'm a Wikipedia newbie, but not regarding online editing and I'm an experienced copywriter. Experience teaches you to recognize when you need help. Having said all that, I noticed an "undisclosed paid editor" COI violation regarding updating the Harry L. Williams article. What do I need to do to fix this? Everything I thought I disclosed or need to disclose can be fully verified. Thanks in advance! --Sigridtx (talk) 16:16, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Sigridtx You should make a conflict of interest edit request on the talk page of the affected article, as you have already disclosed as a paid editor. Thank you for working with us and not against us and sorry for the late response as I was on holiday. v/r - Seawolf35 T--C 23:53, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- You are very welcome, and thank you for the information which helps as I'm currently going through all edits to ensure the article complies. Sigridtx (talk) 13:48, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi again @Seawolf35. Regarding the conflict of interest, you noted I disclosed I was a paid editor, which is correct. I also disclosed the necessary information about who the client is, who is paying me, etc., unless I mistakenly entered something (or didn't). Is there something else I should be doing? Thank you! Sigridtx (talk) 21:31, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Sigridtx In terms of anything to disclose no. v/r - Seawolf35 T--C 21:32, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you, Seawolf35. I have a couple more things in finalizing the Harry L. Williams article I've been working on.
- Citing the Subject's Family. Question: Does a well-known university website qualify as an independent, reliable source? Issue: A mention of Williams’ family (edited by AnomieBOT) was previously included with a [[cn]]. I removed it for lack of an independent, reliable source at the time. Source Considered: A bio of Williams on the Tuskegee University website related to him speaking at a Tuskegee convocation that mentions his wife and children.
- Links in References Section. Issue 1: A citation was removed by one of your editors, yet it still appears as the last link in the References section. In addition, it also appears below the "Presidents of Delaware State University" section between References and External Links. Question: How do I remove this since it's no longer linked in the article? Issue 2: The [1] format linked to the first citation appears below the links in the References section. Question: What might be causing this?
- Much appreciation in advance! Sigridtx (talk) 15:57, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
Reminders:
- You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
- Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
- To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

- Never mind, I tried to add the link to the original translated article and I couldn't find it so I assume it was deleted automatically.

- By the way, the content translation tool works if you try to translate something from English to another language, but not the other way around. Vupini (talk) 14:43, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Vupini Where are you trying to do this, I see no edits relating to translation in your edit history. v/r - Seawolf35 T--C 14:46, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- That's probably because you're checking the English Wikipedia and that's on the Hebrew one.

Just wanted to make sure you're aware of my warning at the above SPI. And to be clear, the warning covers your tagging accounts as socks, which I see you've done in the past.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:38, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Bbb23 I am aware, the only time I could have “tagged” an account is reverting the sock tag removal from a sockpuppet of a master that received a warning for socking. v/r - Seawolf35 T--C 21:05, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from Sasha.kravtsov on Carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere (08:12, 23 April 2024)
[edit]The article claims raise of co2 from 280 to 421 ppm, and summarises that it is 50% which is clearly (from these numbers) wrong. (421-280)/421= 33.5% I am a noob in editing Wikipedia, so I didn't find any place to add comments or explanations for my fix. Is there any? --Sasha.kravtsov (talk) 08:12, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from Sbaldwin0302 (18:37, 30 April 2024)
[edit]Hi, SeaWolf35; it's nice to meet you! I’m looking to explore an avenue to remove an outdated banner template message to an active Wikipedia page that I’m updating (Shiftboard). In general, I'm looking for guidance from this mentorship program on ways to show that the page is currently active. Would you be available to partner with me on this matter? I would greatly appreciate the support! --Sbaldwin0302 (talk) 18:37, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Sbaldwin0302! I see an additional citations needed tag, you can remedy that by providing additional citations with the article. It seems you have a conflict of interest with Shiftboard, see the message I left on your talk page for more details. COI/Paid editors are strongly discouraged from editing articles that they have a vested interest in. Also, Wikipedia is not to be used as an advertising/publicity platform. You should make an edit request on the talk page of Shiftboard. v/r - Seawolf35 T--C 19:04, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
Question from JAYMCINTYRE01 (17:56, 2 May 2024)
[edit]Greetings, I’m curious, in doing an edit I would seem a person should only be able to… 1) Fix punctuation and or correct a grammatical error. 2) Add new information which is Relevant and strictly factual, (no opinions or personal beliefs) backed up by citations. I’m just trying to get a general idea of how reliable information which is found on Wikipedia truly is. As a college student we were not allowed at the time to cite any info found within, but later in life I’ve found it be a useful tool in unofficially gathering information. --JAYMCINTYRE01 (talk) 17:56, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- @JAYMCINTYRE01 As with anything you read on the internet, I would advise you to take everything with a grain of salt, with Wikipedia articles, you should be able to check the sources in the article to prove the assertions and content within said article. v/r - Seawolf35 T--C 21:49, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
