 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. DannyS712 (talk) 03:29, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

My page was deleted and

I need all my stuff that was type up back NewCapitalz (talk) 10:50, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

This is not the place to make that request. Nor has any page edited by your account ever been deleted, not at this point in time. --Yamla (talk) 11:12, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 5 March 2019

I want to become an Admin because I like the way how wikipedia looks, and keep the good community up! It would be nice to have Admin. I'm online almost everyday, and I created this account today but I have been here for a while.

This is for submitting edit requests to this page, not to request adminship. I will let someone else provide further details. Mstrojny (talk) 12:26, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

As Mstrojny notes, this is not the right place for this request. That said, candidates for adminship are expected to be highly experienced editors, with many diverse contributions across the namespaces. Since you made your account today, you need to spend some time showing your experience on Wikipedia before you request adminship. I strongly recommend reading the information at WP:NOTNOW. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 14:01, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Module: namespace

Please add a section on the Module: namespace in the part about administrative namespaces. 89.138.131.240 (talk) 12:31, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

 Not done for now: what specific text do you want added? DannyS712 (talk) 19:04, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Communication

Is it possible to have a Wikipedia feature that can read out aloud some of the information to those that can't see or to those that are just lazy or don't have the time to read through an article. Thendokhae073 (talk) 19:14, 24 December 2019 (UTC)

Can "constrictive" possibly be what is meant?

"account is of sufficient age or by number of constrictive edits" Surely "constructive" is meant! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cgmusselman (talk • contribs) 23:21, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

Question

Where do I key in information for nomination? Toh Yu Heng (talk) 12:36, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Toh Yu Heng Per the information I gave you at the Teahouse, if you were to nominate yourself now, you would be rejected quickly. Many participants at WP:RFA(which is where you go to make a nomination) reject any candidate with less than a year of experience and a certain number of edits(usually thousands). You have 35 or so edits and just created your account today- your chances of success at an RFA discussion are just about zero. Just concentrate on being a good editor. If you do, and after much work and experience, develop a need for the tools, other users will notice and offer to nominate you. Again- you can do 95% of tasks without being an administrator. 331dot (talk) 13:37, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

Goals of Wikipedia?

I wonder what its goals are if they need administration to achieve them. The goals of wikipedia that I know would be completely stamped out by this. Maybe this is the reason for the Slow Decline, or the Long Decay. This must also be the reason they need more donations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Louis Sarwal (talk • contribs) 18:45, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
