Hello. I want to submit my page for review --Sharmboi (talk) 15:07, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia and thanks for your efforts! The "review" will come after you submit your article. If you would like a copyedit, you can add it to this page and someone will look at it, but not immediately. There is a long queue. Lfstevens (talk) 04:28, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wkipedia! Sorry, but the policy is that somebody else has to write the article - and not because you pay them to do it. Also, it has to be backed by reliable published sources. Lfstevens (talk) 23:10, 20 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from EvanTupper (16:33, 6 September 2025)

Heyy! Over the last few months I have picked up a hobby of researching a specific piece of Himalayan folklore since I found that the majority of online resources are vastly inaccurate and in disagreement. Since this is my first few days editing Wikipedia articles and building one up from nearly nothing, I'm wondering if I am doing things correctly? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acheri

More specifically, there exists no reliable sources past 1926. The majority of them are imaginative works so I just want to make sure that using the first accounts of the Acheri in publications from the 1800s is okay. Thank you and have a great day!!

Welcome to Wikipedia! Here is a good way to start your first article: Article wizard LMK of any specific questions. If you think your article is ready to publish, go ahead and publish it.

Kjell Arne Bratli

Hello! I noticed you reverted edits on Kjell Arne Bratli several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I want to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. I replied to you there; please continue the discussion.

If we are unable to reach an agreement, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war.

Thank you. — W.andrea (talk) 22:00, 11 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Shaulchap on Chittenden County, Vermont (17:09, 13 September 2025)

How do I add the “In Popular Culture “ to an entry that is lacking that heading? --Shaulchap (talk) 17:09, 13 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia! Use the edit choice at the top of the page. Scroll down to the spot where you want to add the heading. Hit return to create a line to hold the heading. Click Paragraph at the top of the page. Choose Heading 2. Done! Lfstevens (talk) 03:37, 14 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Strategicbomber12 (08:00, 17 September 2025)

Hello! I am new to wikipedia. I don't know anything except text. Could you please explain how i insert images, tables, add pointers, and add dropdown boxes? --Strategicbomber12 (talk) 08:00, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia! Here are some places to look:

Images: WP:Images

Tables: Position your cursor at the point in the text where you want it to appear. Go to to the top of the page and click Insert. Pick table. Double-click a table cell to enter text. Use right clicks to add rows and columns, etc. More info: WP:Tables

Pointer: Do you mean link to another page? If so, select the word/phrase you want in the link. Type ctl-K to bring up a dialog where you can enter the name of the page you want to link to.

Dropdowns: can you give me an example? Lfstevens (talk) 23:57, 17 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, would you take a look at Spanish Inquisition when you have time? There's a citation error at "rather than harsh persecution". I'd fix it, but I can't quite tell what portion of the text was intended to go in the note. Thanks, Jessicapierce (talk) 17:07, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have sent you a note about a page you started

Hi Lfstevens. Thank you for your work on Electromechanical reshaping. Another editor, Klbrain, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:

Thanks for creating this page for an emerging technique. Remember to write with a neutral tone, and to ensure that all content is referenced from reliable source; anything not referenced is liable to be deleted. It seems likely that this technique will fail utterly to translate, or be useful only in a narrow range of application - given the limited evidence of clinical utility, it's better to be more cautious than optimistic - this isn't a pitch to funders. I've worked on toning down the claims, but there is more to go! Regardless, an interesting technique, if only we understood how it works - some of the explanations smack of pseudoscience ...

To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Klbrain}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)

Hello, and thank you for being available as a mentor to me. Really I joined Wikipedia for one goal. I have been asked by Ted Koppel to correct his flawed Wikipedia page entry. Why? Because I worked for him for years at Nightline, I have recently returned to working with him on personal matters, and I have known him more than 30 years. I have no idea how to edit a Wikipedia entry, so when you have time, could we set up a chance to discuss improving his page?

Hello! I created this account to fix an error regarding the "Battle of Fredericksburg" and "Battle of Fredericksburg order of battle: Union" articles. In the Union order of battle, George Stoneman (commanding III Corps within the Center Grand Division under Major General Joseph Hooker) is currently listed as a Brigadier General (BG). However, he had been promoted to Major General (MG) of Volunteers on November 29, 1862, following his replacement of MG Samuel P. Heintzelman in command of III Corps on October 30th.

Are there any rules or preferences regarding which sources I should use for this correction? I was planning on using (https://www.ohiocivilwarcentral.com/george-stoneman/), which clearly lists the promotion date.

Welcome to Wikipedia!

If you have an URL, a DOI, or similar, the easiest way on the web is to hit ctl-shift-k and enter the URL, etcl. The system will create a reference/citation for you most of the time. On a phone, it's messier. Best approach is to take an existing reference and modify it to show your info. @Canadianthegreat Lfstevens (talk) 12:13, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

November 2025

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Padampur tehsil when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance. Thank you. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 16:18, 8 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Alice Municipal Golf Course

The article Alice Municipal Golf Course has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced for 18 years. No other language has a reliably sourced article from which to translate. I reached out to the creator to source it, without response in 5 weeks.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Editors are not paid. It's volunteers all the way down. Lfstevens (talk) 00:39, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Great Barrington Declaration

Hello! I have changed the beginning of the article on the Great Barrington Declaration, taking into account some of your suggestions on the discussion page. I assume the improved version won't be there for long though, since many editors seem to be on guard. The rest of the article also needs a thorough reworking. Greetings!

My previous edit was partially outdated. It took only 6 minutes before another editor took action. Niemandsbucht (talk) 11:03, 14 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@ Niemandsbucht Tough article. I don't know what to tell you about the extraordinary bias against GBD and other controversial subjects. Lfstevens (talk) 00:37, 15 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Giorgio Bicchiere (00:12, 16 November 2025)

Note: Giorgio Bicchiere's mentor ObserveOwl is away.

Would a mythological person count as a fictional person? --Giorgio Bicchiere (talk) 00:12, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia!, @Giorgio Bicchiere. WP has zillions of articles on mythical creatures. They would be fiction if somebody has written a fiction about them (Superman, Odysseus,...). Make sure to provide a WP:Reliable source for any content you add. Have fun! Lfstevens (talk) 01:06, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware of that, @Lfstevens. Just wanted to ask because someone put La Llorona under Category:Fictional female murderers of children, and as someone who has an interest in mythical creatures, I don't know if the categorization is appropriate. Giorgio Bicchiere (talk) 02:21, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Giorgio Bicchiere I don't have any skin in that game, but looking at the other members of the category, I don't see any other conventionally mythical figures (are there any other mythical female child murderers?) That would suggest that La Llorona is not a good fit. You might choose to check in with that editor who made that call. Lfstevens (talk) 17:15, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks @Lfstevens.

Also, apologies for asking at an inconvenient time, I was unaware my mentor @ObserveOwl is away. Giorgio Bicchiere (talk) 21:08, 16 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
