Question from Langlistoris (11:23, 26 August 2024)

[edit]

Hey there! I'm new around here, and I'm wondering how to add 'title/main' pictures to wiki pages as many don't seem to have one. --Langlistoris (talk) 11:23, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Langlistoris, could you provide an example of the sort of article you are hoping to add images to? I'm not quite sure what you mean. Happy to help where I can. Eddie891 Talk Work 11:53, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Of course! I mean pages like Premios texas that have no display image and only a default 'image not found' graphic. Langlistoris (talk) 12:05, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WikiCup 2024 August newsletter

[edit]

The fourth round of the 2024 WikiCup ended on 29 August. Each of the 8 contestants who advanced to Round 4 scored at least 472 points, and the following contestants scored more than 700 points:

Congratulations to our eight finalists and all who participated. Contestants put in extraordinary amounts of effort during this round, and their scores can be seen here. So far this year, competitors have gotten 36 featured articles, 55 featured lists, 15 good articles, 93 in the news credits, and at least 333 did you know credits. They have conducted 357 featured content reviews, as well as 553 good article reviews and peer reviews, and have added 30 articles to featured topics and good topics.

Any content promoted after 29 August but before the start of Round 5 can be claimed during Round 5, which starts on 1 September at 00:00 (UTC). Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. If two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether for a good article, featured content, or anything else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Remember to claim your points within 14 days of earning them, and importantly, before the deadline on 31 October.

If you would like to learn more about rules and scoring for the 2024 WikiCup, please see this page. Further questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges (Cwmhiraeth (talk · contribs), Epicgenius (talk · contribs), and Frostly (talk · contribs)) are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck! If you wish to start or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove your name from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Question from MoKhan123 (11:57, 3 September 2024)

[edit]

how do you create a new page for a footballer --MoKhan123 (talk) 11:57, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @MoKhan123. The first step would be to make sure that the footballer meets WP:NFOOTY or WP:NSPORT more broadly, the criteria set for 'Notability', meaning that they can have an article (not everyone can). Eddie891 Talk Work 00:41, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Paralost13 (18:03, 4 September 2024)

[edit]

Hi,

  My one and only edit can be seen here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptations_of_The_Most_Dangerous_Game

 I added  "Apocalypto". 
I was somehow able to cite a film and director, but couldnt figure out how to cite it. 
  I have another small contribution to make. This time I need to add the category  "In Popular Culture" then make an entry.
Is there a "Wikipedia Editing for Dummies" type of resource You can suggest? Right now I only need to know how to do these very basic things. 

Thank you for any help ......alon --Paralost13 (talk) 18:03, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @Paralost13, I'd recommend first looking at something like the wikipedia adventure, an interactive way to learn the basics. Probably the easiest way to learn how to edit, though, is just by trying, not being afraid to make mistakes, and asking questions! It's a super friendly group, generally, and everyone is happy to help. Best, Eddie891 Talk Work 19:21, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
