@Rajkumar Thakor: Please don't. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not a place to promote your business. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:37, 29 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry if it came out Wrong but, my intension is not to promote here but to include it to be a part of Wikipedia encyclopedia. Rajkumar Thakor (talk) 09:02, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Writing about your company is self-promotion. Wikipedia is not a business directory. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:40, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Mansi555 (23:43, 1 June 2026)

Hi Uther, I recently submitted a draft for an article for someone I volunteered for in my neighborhood who was running for Congress. I went online after because I wanted to get objective info to learn more about him. I couldn't find a Wiki page - is this something that could get approved? --Mansi555 (talk) 23:43, 1 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Mansi555: I'm not in the habit of reviewing drafts on demand. There's a huge backlog of drafts to be reviewed. You will have to wait. Meanwhile, I see you can make some improvements... there's a referencing error and a duplicate but empty reference section. - UtherSRG (talk) 01:44, 2 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback, UtherSRG. I have fixed both issues: I added the full definition for the missing reference and removed the duplicate References section. I also cleaned up a few red links. No rush on review — I understand the backlog. Appreciate the pointers. Mansi555 (talk) 05:59, 2 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Cantthinkofanyusername on Prosimian

You know what? I do have a question, why did you undo my edit that changes the link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simiiformes to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simian? Also, what is "avoid dab"? Cantthinkofanyusername (talk) 03:33, 2 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Cantthinkofanyusername: Please see WP:NOPIPE. The pipe link is one form of "dab" or "disambiguation". - UtherSRG (talk) 04:13, 2 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks for the advice Cantthinkofanyusername (talk) 04:43, 2 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Explanation for reverted edits

So a Wikipedia user (presumable singular) is actively attempting to revert my edits, even though I am trying to credibly contribute. Is there any intervention? ~2026-33190-89 (talk) 07:30, 4 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I presume this is regarding the issue you raised at ANI, you've had responses there so please continue the discussion here. It's confusing if you ask the same question on multiple pages and don't give any context or history, so please try to keep the discussion on the noticeboard. In solidarity, Blue-Sonnet (I'm listening) 08:20, 4 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Question from SoftBeePlease (02:59, 5 June 2026)

Nice to meet you! It took me 15 years to finally get the courage to make an account, and here I am! Q: I have a lot of experience in tropical meteorology (B.S. degree & research background), native plants to the eastern USA (professional experience), and historical knowledge of my area growing up. For what instances do I explicitly need a published source? Thank you! --SoftBeePlease (talk) 02:59, 5 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@SoftBeePlease: Welcome! I'll make sure to put a proper welcome on your talk page with information, but to answer your question: Nearly everything. (Read the linked essay.) Your knowledge in these subjects doesn't matter, any assertion made in an article, must cite a source. Your knowledge will be helpful in understanding the source material so as to include the data in an intelligent manner. - UtherSRG (talk) 03:11, 5 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Your help on the Chimpanzee article

Hi UtherSRG; With appreciation for your help edits at the Chimpanzee article last week where you did a useful SPI identification. Separately, at present on the Black hole Talk page there appears to be a temporary account ~2026-28259-76, which is freely admitting to have multiple accounts, some of which are listed on the Temporary account page and some of which appear to be not listed. The Black hole article recently was promoted to FA and is currently in final constructive preparations for TFA later in July; and this temporary account has not been contributing to the content issues but only citing WP policy quotes about edit conduct, etc. That temporary account seems to have only about 44 edits and seems to be showing a disproportionately large knowledge of the Wikipedia Policy guidelines for someone with only 44 edits. That temporary account is also apparently making a large number of edits on the ANI noticeboard and trying to influence outcomes there as well. Could you take a glance at it to see if this might qualify for starting an SPI or CheckUser on this temporary account? ErnestKrause (talk) 13:22, 5 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

In the "chimpanzee" case, it was an abuser I'd already been stalking. In this case, it's not one I'm familiar enough with to know what to do. Either let them dig their own hole at ANI, or ignore them. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:05, 5 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Everything about this summary is false, misleading, or confused, fwiw. My impression is that this is an issue of competence rather than honesty. UtherSRG, perhaps you could advise EK about the appropriateness of explicit canvassing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Shocksingularity#c-ErnestKrause-20260604195800-Z1720-20260529011100 . Do you think having the editor they've canvassed be the fourth person to say the same thing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Black_hole#c-Shocksingularity-20260605043000-Johnjbarton-20260531222100 will help EK drop the stick or admit their error? ~2026-28744-62 (talk) 14:24, 5 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Please take this to ANI. I have no desire to be a part of this. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:26, 5 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for bothering you. ~2026-28744-62 (talk) 14:30, 5 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Jinoos Taghizadeh moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to Jinoos Taghizadeh. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it consists of machine-generated text and please also see WP:AIN#Template:Did you know nominations/Jinoos Taghizadeh.. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Fortek67 (talk) 15:33, 7 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Efebeybkt on Nick Lashaway (12:41, 8 June 2026)

Nick lashaway in bilgilerine boyunu yazmak istiyorum --Efebeybkt (talk) 12:41, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Efebeybkt: If you have a reliable source then you may. But also, please only speak English here; this is the English language Wikipedia. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:42, 8 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Question from AhmedSajid8702 (06:30, 9 June 2026)

Hello! I'm new to Wikipedia and would like to contribute more. I recently made some edits and would like to learn the correct process for creating a new biography article. How do I know when my account is eligible to create new pages, and what are the main requirements a person must meet for a biography to be accepted on Wikipedia? Thank you for your guidance. --AhmedSajid8702 (talk) 06:30, 9 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@AhmedSajid8702: You would do well to not concern yourself with the "when" part of that aspect. Start by making a draft using the my first article wizard. It will help get your going. By the time you have a good sense of how to do things, you'll have the ability to create new articles. For what's needed, your draft will need to meet the appropriate notability policies. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:14, 9 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
