New species articles

Hi. Thanks for creating lots of articles about fish. If you take a look at this edit you'll see some minor ways you can improve your contributions, primarily looking at the taxobox. Any questions give me a ping. Thanks. YorkshireExpat (talk) 17:10, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Cheers YorkshireExpat. I struggle with when fish are described; some have multiple dates listed and I confuse them. Rubbish computer Ping me or leave a message on my talk page 17:15, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Fishbase is a bit funny, but the name and date after the binomial are the authority, i.e. the person who described it and the year, and this field can be added to the speciesbox. Also the conservation status can be added to the taxobox; see Spinibarbus babeensis. YorkshireExpat (talk) 17:28, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Also is the spacing important and how do I connect to wikidata? Cheers, Rubbish computer Ping me or leave a message on my talk page 17:18, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

If you search for the species in Wikidata it will (most of the time) come back with a uniquely identified entry described by a Q number like here. This can be used with the Taxonbar template to pull in more links from common taxonomy sites. The spacing isn't important, that's just style and I'm just following my favourite way of doing it :).

Astro Switch On - Article

Hi Rubbish Computer,

Thank you for answering my question on Teahouse so quickly. I now understand that I should not re-submit the article until the album is released. My other question would be in regards to sources. Since you mentioned that naver is known to be critized for unpublished articles, I did submit articles directly from their label, since it's from their label it could seem 'bias' on the article and I know that Wiki does not like bias. Should I still keep the naver article (since that is a highly used citation from other KPop) or would it be more helpful if I find a different article that could be more reliable like Soompi?

Hi Lilylovesreading19, no worries. It would probably be better to find another source. Unfortunately lots of existing articles on Wikipedia don't use reliable sources, although they all should; such articles often go to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion if sources can't be found, or otherwise are changed to include better sources.

I also haven't noticed this block before when on mobile, very odd. Unfortunately I'm not very good with knowledge of IP addresses. Rubbish computer Ping me or leave a message on my talk page 21:19, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

The whois strongly implies that this is a VPS. Are you using some type of VPN software on your mobile phone? Perhaps Cloudflare Warp? Or something called Speedify? ST47 (talk) 21:37, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

I need some help with copyediting

Hi there! I posted two articles on the Teahouse for correction some time ago, including Aluminé's, which you pretty nicely took care of. I have two new requests: San Martín de los Andes, which was quickly corrected and may need some more work (from what I sense, not a native English speaker, so I'm not confident those corrections were enough) and Las Coloradas, Argentina, which I wrote recently, so it's very likely to need copyediting. So, it'd be nice if you took the time. Thanks in advance and don't hesitate to ask me whatever you need.--Gunt50 (talk) 19:27, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi Gunt50, happy to help, will go over them this evening. Rubbish computer Ping me or leave a message on my talk page 19:32, 17 August 2021 (UTC)

Need your Help

Hello, Rubbish Computer Emmy Rey (talk) 19:11, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi Emmy Rey, what do you need help with? Rubbish computer Ping me or leave a message on my talk page 19:15, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

I Need Help with Publishing a post

1.I'm new here, Just joined on the 17th of August, 2021. I wrote and published a post yesterday, but it seemed as if it wasn't published by Wiki. So I need your Help on how to publish an acceptable article on Wiki. Thanks. Emmy Rey (talk) 19:21, 18 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi Emmy Rey, a good way to do this can be to start off with a draft (with Draft: in front of the title). Then you can submit it at Wikipedia:Articles for Creation once done. It's difficult to put an article together as a new user. Wikipedia:My first article has some good pointers. It needs to be an encyclopedia article on a subject with significant coverage in reliable sources, which are contained in the article. Did you receive a message on your user talk about the page?

Hi Rubbish computer I did not receive any message. I was actually asked to introduce myself.Rubbish computer Emmy Rey (talk) 19:32, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
