Have you just started editing Wikipedia? If you're confused, feel free to ask me anything. There's also a friendly forum called the Teahouse, where several active editors participate regularly to help you with questions just like yours. If you're looking for something in particular, these resources might help:

  • Wondering why you saw my username and this message: Hi, I'm Clovermoss. Welcome to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, because things can get confusing here, feel free to ask me. I'll do my best to try and help? That's because I signed up to participate in mentoring new users. Yes, I'm a real person. That message is accurate, I'll do my best to try and help you.
  • Help! – you can click this. It might not give you every answer you're looking for, but it's a place to try.
  • Wondering what you should know in general? Reading Wikipedia:A primer for newcomers will give you the basics.
  • Wondering how wiki markup (a.k.a. source editor) works? Help:Introduction to editing with Wiki Markup/1 might be useful. Help:Wikitext is even more thorough if that's what you're interested in.
  • If you have any specific questions or don't want to look everywhere just to see if an answer may be somewhere, click "new section" at the top of this page to start a new thread and ask! Don't hesistate because no one's born editing Wikipedia and you're not alone.

Question from User:Jmadson10

Hi can you advise regarding the reason for declination? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jmadson10 (talk • contribs) 23:49, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jmadson10, of course I'll let you know the reason. So right now, Draft:Josh Madson is very short. It's only a sentence or so and it's cited to only one source. This page explains our standards for inclusion for articles about people, because we don't actually have articles about everything or everyone that exists. Otherwise we'd have a lot of resumes and we're not LinkedIn. I will say that being in a head position for US Agriculture sounds like it could be something that could be notable about Madison, but there still should be citations to mutiple, independant, reliable sources that discuss him in detail to demonstrate why he is important. Does that help? I will also say that it's important to declare any potential conflict-of-interest you may have. I'll leave a message on your talk page that explains that further. Feel free to ask me any other questions you may have about editing or if you need me to clarify anything. Clovermoss (talk) 00:01, 18 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Green - July GA Editathon

Hello Clovermoss:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Editathon event in July 2022!

Running from July 1 to 31, 2022, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) editathon event focused on the topic of women and the environment. Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works during the event period (with an emphasis on environmental links and topics). GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to receive a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

Hi Alanna the Brave. It's nice to hear from you, it's been awhile. I'll consider trying to help out with this, but nothing immediately comes to mind. We'll see, I guess. My to-do list is already huge, but I might give it a try regardless. Clovermoss (talk) 15:09, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
There's no pressure -- I understand the challenges of a huge to-do list! ;-) We'll likely have other events down the road, too. Best, Alanna the Brave (talk) 16:52, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

St. Catharines

Thanks for your question about article assessment at St. Catharines. I don't know much about assessment, and just about every article I've ever written has been a stub. One article I wrote, Kodak Black, has had 1,177,452 views in the past year, and is still rated as "start" and "low-importance", and I've only taken one article, Lake Ontario Ordnance Works, to "good article". My biggest concern with St. Catharines is that it needs to be re-ordered to correspond with WP:CCSG. This is an issue with many Canadian articles. I find that once an article has a solid and familiar outline, the editing improves. But I agree St. Catharines is a "C", as it has lots of unsourced sections that is just basically "stuff people know" which gets added to the article in good faith. Oh, and I had one Canadian article, Val Gagné, Ontario, featured on a "Did you know". Cheers! Magnolia677 (talk) 17:45, 25 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Magnolia677: Okay, thanks! Improving St. Catharines is on my to-do list because I lived there for like 6 years. Technically not my hometown, but still, fond memories. I've written a few articles about the city, like Morningstar Mill and Burgoyne Bridge. A really really long-term goal is improving basically all the articles related to the Niagara Region but I wouldn't be surprised if that's a goal that takes me years, honestly. My Wikipedia to-do list is starting to look like my TBR (to be read) list. Anyways if you ever see anything that's in Ontario that you need like a photo of or something, keep me in mind! I also have some books about local history so I might be useful for that, too. Clovermoss (talk) 00:56, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ontario is a magnificent place and I've been fortunate to do a few road trips there. Morningstar Mill is well done, as is Burgoyne Bridge (too bad about the suicides). A while back I wrote Multi-way bridge, which the world needs more of. I also forgot about St. Johns, Ontario in Thorold, which I expanded from a redirect, and which had a "did you know".

An article which torments me is Florida, Cochrane District. A few years back I recall reading a short history of Florida, something about how the rugged farmers gave it a go, but were hampered by the short growing season, and the cost of shipping produce to market. I've search all over for this source again, with no luck.

I'm sharing with you some of the Ontario (and one Quebec) articles I've written, because many of the sources were hard to find, and may help you with your research.

Also, this is an excellent resource.

Cheers. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:02, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Magnolia677: I'd never heard of multi-way bridges before, it was an interesting read! Thanks for sharing helpful resources like you just did. Even just the link you shared before about layout was super helpful, because I wasn't previously aware of it. Cheers to you as well! Clovermoss (talk) 11:51, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Reviewing

Hello, Clovermoss.

I've seen you editing recently and you seem like an experienced Wikipedia editor.
Would you please consider applying to become a New Page Reviewer? Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines; currently Wikipedia needs experienced users at this task. But kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. Thanks. HouseBlastertalk 01:00, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]


Consider this a gentle nudge from someone you have never interacted with that you should throw your hat into the arena! We would love to have you! HouseBlastertalk 01:00, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@HouseBlaster: Sure. Out of curiousity, since I've never interacted with you, how did you find out about me? If you don't mind telling me. Clovermoss (talk) 01:09, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This. From the rest of your comments on that page, it is obvious that you know a good bit about NPR—why not get the perm? Every bit helps with the backlog! HouseBlastertalk 01:16, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@HouseBlaster: That would be because I've been going through NPP school. But sure, I'll actually go and apply at PERM. Personally I think it may be a bit premature since I only recently became an AfC reviewer and I have limited experience with AfDs, but we'll see I guess.

New page reviewer granted

Hi Clovermoss. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers" user group. Please check back at WP:PERM in case your user right is time limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the new page reviewer talk page. In addition, please remember:

  • Be nice to new editors. They are usually not aware that they are doing anything wrong. Do make use of the message feature when tagging pages for maintenance so that they are aware.
  • You will frequently be asked by users to explain why their page is being deleted. Please be formal and polite in your approach to them – even if they are not.
  • If you are not sure what to do with a page, don't review it – just leave it for another reviewer.
  • Accuracy is more important than speed. Take your time to patrol each page. Use the message feature to communicate with article creators and offer advice as much as possible.

The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. – Joe (talk) 14:16, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Title of a page is wrong

Hello,

My mother is referenced here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cecile_Josp%C3%A9

But her name is Cecil, not Cecile. The page was originally created by the Women in Red project.

How can I change the headline name?

Thanks,
