Question from SelfyouGainy (01:15, 23 February 2024)

Hello, you have been assigned as my Mentor. I want to create my first article. Which advise can you give me --SelfyouGainy (talk) 01:15, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. There are lots of help pages - you could start with Help:Editing for basic editing information, and then Articles for Creation for a guide on how to create an article. Barnards.tar.gz (talk) 08:16, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Contentious topics alert - Armenia, Azerbaijan, or related conflicts

You have recently made edits related to Armenia, Azerbaijan, or related conflicts. This is a standard message to inform you that Armenia, Azerbaijan, or related conflicts is a designated contentious topic. This message does not imply that there are any issues with your editing. Contentious topics are the successor to the former discretionary sanctions system, which you may be aware of. For more information about the contentious topics system, please see Wikipedia:Contentious topics. For a summary of difference between the former and new system, see WP:CTVSDS.

Question from Seckrates2024 (09:36, 24 February 2024)

Hi, I’m planning in creating a Page for a Business that I’m helping with. Can you guide me on how I should write it so that it’s still following the guidelines?

The Business name of it is “St. Louis Sod Install”. Yes, they are registered in St. Louis and are paying their Tax so that if we need to show those, I guess I can take it from the actual owner.

Let me know what’s needed to be done like the outline on how i should write it. Thank you --Seckrates2024 (talk) 09:36, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. Unfortunately it is highly unlikely that a small business like this is a suitable subject for an article. You can read more about what counts as notable here: Wikipedia:Notability. The other relevant policy is Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Barnards.tar.gz (talk) 17:30, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Question from Grizi fu (10:55, 11 March 2024)

Dear mentor I have a question. Recently I have been not edit waring but rather having an edit skirmish with a non registered user that doesn’t provide any sources to their statements and I would like to ask is it possible to have a page at least be temporarily be locked for non registered users? It’s also a page that has been reviewed as a good page and I would hate for this page, as it’s a topic I am really interested in to loose said status. Greetings Grizi fu. --Grizi fu (talk) 10:55, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

Such locking is possible, in cases of serious disruption. If you are talking about the edits to Cambodian–Vietnamese War, then it seems to have died down with the text that you want in place? However, I notice that at one point you added a source which is unlikely to be suitable to support a statement in the infobox (seems to be a primary source). Infoboxes are for at-a-glance summaries of uncontroversial information that doesn't need a great deal of nuance or context to understand.

You might like to read Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle, which is a common method of resolving disputes. Since your change was reverted, rather than continue to un-revert (which, as you've observed, usually makes for an unproductive edit war), a sensible next step would be to open a discussion on the talk page and explain why the content should be added. You can give your reasoning, and any opposing editors can give theirs. Hopefully you would arrive at a consensus, but if not then there are further options for dispute resolution.
