Question from Aphestus (07:48, 20 May 2024)
Hello.... How does editing work? Apparently my nitwit of a brother got himself banned indefinitely last night, according to what he told me, which wasn't much, he was merely telling the truth(although, I do know he can be rather aggressive in telling or describing) on a topic that needed "serious revision and rectification," and that he wasn't being heard or taken seriously.... Quite the contrary in my astute opinion. So, back to my question, how does editing work, as I'd love to be a contribution to what I call the earthly version of "encyclopedia Galactica." --Aphestus (talk) 07:48, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Aphestus: Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'll send you a list of some helpful links shortly on your talk page. As for how you can contribute, I would read Help:Getting started. There's also a list of things you can do at the Task Center. Some things that I did starting out was linking pages and finding citations (there's a fun little tool for finding citations here). If you need anything or have any questions, you can ask me or volunteers at the Teahouse. Cheers! Relativity ⚡️ 00:59, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
DYK for Boot Monument
On 25 May 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Boot Monument, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a boot is the only monument in the United States dedicated to the traitor Benedict Arnold because it "was the only part of Arnold not to later turn traitor"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Boot Monument. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Boot Monument), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Question from Chinonso233 (22:05, 28 May 2024)
How can I make money from wikipedia --Chinonso233 (talk) 22:05, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from Aubreychandler (23:24, 28 May 2024)
Hello, I am the person that created my fathers wikipedia page years ago. Frank Garcia Paleontologist. I tried to add my name as his daughter but I was rejected. May I send you my birth certificate to prove it? --Aubreychandler (talk) 23:24, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Aubreychandler: Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Wikipedia's information comes from published, reliable sources. Adding information that might be true but isn't published in a reliable source would be considered original research and therefore can't be added. If there is a published reliable source that shows you as his daughter, feel free to add it! Cheers, and let me know if you have any further questions Relativity ⚡️ 21:46, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from Rajesh.M.666666 (09:16, 1 June 2024)
How to work in Wikipedia --Rajesh.M.666666 (talk) 09:16, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Rajesh.M.666666: Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! There are all kinds of things that you can do here. One thing that you should do is check the Task Center. Some more suggestions of what you can do are available on your homepage. For a list of policies and guidelines you have to follow here on Wikipedia, check this page and this page. One recommendation from me personally is to use the citation hunt tool to find citations for uncited material, which is actually really important work. If you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask me on this page. Cheers, and happy editing Relativity ⚡️ 19:21, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
