[edit]

Hello Will I able to create pages on Wikipedia? --FACTMAN(ENVIRONMENT) (talk) 14:22, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Realdbmafrica (01:55, 25 August 2024)

[edit]

How can I create a profile on Wikipedia --Realdbmafrica (talk) 01:55, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Realdbmafrica: By "create a profile," I assume you mean you wish to write an article about yourself. As you may already know, Wikipedia is a collaborative encyclopedia written by its readers. The subjects for our articles are generally chosen by the editing community rather than by request. While there is a venue where you can request articles, a request for an article creation on oneself is likely to be declined. You can visit our 'requests for articles' page at Wikipedia:Requested articles.
It's also important to realise that Wikipedia strongly discourages articles written by the subjects themselves or by others close to a subject because of the difficulty in writing objectively about yourself, your family, or your work. Please see Wikipedia:Autobiography for our guidelines on writing about yourself or topics you are personally involved with. While keeping in mind conflict of interest issues, please note that if someone does create an article about you, you should feel more than welcome to edit the article's Talk page to ensure that each piece of information is factual and complying with our "Biography of Living Persons" policy. This policy can be viewed at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons.
You may also like to read Wikipedia:Notability (people) for a guideline on the type of articles that are generally accepted. Geoff | Who, me? 11:52, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
thanks so much I really appreciate the clarification 102.88.70.11 (talk) 12:58, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You Protected The Kingkoil Page from editing

[edit]

The Content Updated on Kingkoil Page is not correct we applied for Kingkoil India page but you mentioned Kingkoil Only and when we submitted the edits you change it to protected plz revert it as we need to update the proper content Director manik singh (talk) 17:02, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Director manik singh: I believe you must be writing about King Koil. Refer to its edit History: [1]. I didn't protect the article. As edits have been made recently to the article by users with a conflict of interest, it has been protected so that only autoconfirmed/confirmed editors are able to edit the article. I assume you also have a conflict of interest, as you appear to be trying to assert ownership over the page on behalf of its subject or a related company. You should discuss your proposed changes on the article's Talk page to see if you can establish a consensus amongst the community of Wikipedia editors for its content. Geoff | Who, me? 17:29, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I am not trying to assert the ownership of the page , I am sharing the actual details of the company as also the company is purchased by AI Dream

You can check I need to update the proper update but now i can not edit . if you can check plz check and update the proper details like Now King Koil is acquired by AI Dream
If you think these edit I am trying to make are legit plz check by yourself and move the page to AI Dreams and King koil is no more and Acquired by AI Dream Director manik singh (talk) 17:36, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I already Created Submitted the content in Talk Page You can check Director manik singh (talk) 17:57, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Director manik singh: I requested a revert of your page move. See the comment I left on your Talk page. Such a move and the revisions you made to this article should be discussed and a consensus reached. The India operation is discussed in the body of the article, but the company was founded in the United States and its original name should be reflected in the article about the original company in its title as the article reflects its history regardless of its acquisition and current ownership. You may wish to draft a brand-new article about "KingKoil.in" instead of hijacking the existing article, or add more information to the existing article to reflect the acquisition. Please read the article on ownership of the content of the articles. Geoff | Who, me? 19:15, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Theodore1901 (16:32, 31 August 2024)

[edit]

Is there a standard way to properly footnote? --Theodore1901 (talk) 16:32, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Theodore1901: Yes, try this "how to" article to learn how it is done on Wikipedia, whether you are using the source editor or the visual editor. The article has a number of links at the bottom to other articles that expand on guidance for footnoting of references. Geoff | Who, me? 18:12, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Dr. William P. Harman (03:35, 3 September 2024)

[edit]

I am on the page that says William P. Harman in bold letters at the top. How do I get back to the text I was writing, and which I published. Where is it? --Dr. William P. Harman (talk) 03:35, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dr. William P. Harman: There is only your user account page, User:Dr. William P. Harman. Other than your post to my Talk page here, your account has no saved contributions, as shown in the contributions log: Special:Contributions/Dr. William P. Harman. I gather you are trying to write an article about yourself. I encourage you to take a step back and read this article: Wikipedia:Autobiography. Writing about yourself is highly discouraged. And further, before you try writing about yourself again, consider reading this essay on what it really means to have an article on Wikipedia about you: Wikipedia:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing.

Question from Zeusisloose417 (22:06, 5 September 2024)

[edit]

I do have one question, which is related to the county tables on election pages. I have figured out how to do them in the way that matches all of the other ones, though I feel like it takes a while. Besides the traditional way of adding data, then source editing, is there any way to do it quicker that you know of? Please let me know. --Zeusisloose417 (talk) 22:06, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Zeusisloose417: I know of no better way as I've always done it by hand, starting with the table insert button in the source editor. I recommend you use the help guides to see if you can gain some insights. Have a look at: Help:Table#Automated assistants (as well as the whole help article), Help:Introduction to tables with Wiki Markup/1 and the many links to other help articles at the top of the help article. You can also ask the group of experienced volunteers at the Teahouse: Wikipedia:Teahouse. Cheers! Geoff | Who, me? 23:26, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Majistareirter (20:15, 7 September 2024)

Hello sir, please guide me to make necessary changes in my recent article to make it available publically --Majistareirter (talk) 20:15, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
