Question from TheWikiCyclone (00:25, 23 January 2024)

Hello, I’m new to editing Wikipedia, so sorry for the mistakes I do here and there. Is it considered disruptive to create numerous redirect pages for cities? For example, if I wanted to make “Helen georgia” redirect to Helen, Georgia, would this cause any disruption to the project? --TheWikiCyclone (talk) 00:25, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TheWikiCyclone: The example that you provided is fine; such a redirect is acceptable. We have Mobile alabama redirecting to Mobile, Alabama. When a notable person appears in the future by the name of "Helen Georgia", a page will be created for disambiguation. Some advice though: if you plan on creating thousands of such redirects, please remember to not create too many redirects in a short time span because whenever someone creates a very large number of articles or redirects, they usually face more opposition to those creations. Regards, Nythar (💬-🍀) 05:17, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the response. I created these redirects just so that it’s easier to access for some people. TheWikiCyclone (talk) 21:07, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article

Hello, sir @Nythar I am trying to make an article but the reviewer left was: "likely a covert advertisement". I did not add to the article some advertisement, could you recommend to me what to do? WonderXcom (talk) 14:15, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WonderXcom: You're writing a draft on the concept of "Price Monitoring", and the reviewer seems to believe the page is an advertisement. Sometimes articles are created on marketing concepts and contain many covert references to specific corporations. I've reviewed the draft and to me the language doesn't appear to hint to any corporation or group. You could send a message to the reviewer, User talk:HitroMilanese, but for the draft to be accepted you'll have to improve it with additional references and a more encyclopedic tone. Let me know if you have any more questions. Nythar (💬-🍀) 04:13, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from WonderXcom (19:53, 6 February 2024)

Good evening sir,

please help me understand why this page do not indexing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_monitoring --WonderXcom (talk) 19:53, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WonderXcom: I suppose it depends on whether the page has been patrolled yet. For more info on indexing see Wikipedia:Controlling search engine indexing. I'm not really an expert on this so if you have other questions about indexing please ask them at the Help desk. Regards, Nythar (💬-🍀) 08:12, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
