كيف يمكنني الوصول لعدد كبير من مشهدات الانستا جرام --Mm4767036 (talk) 22:17, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mm4767036: Hello! I can only help with questions related to using or editing Wikipedia (based on the page it appears you asked this question from, you may have assumed I am a machine, but I am a real person). Do you have a question related to Wikipedia? As an unrelated aside, please try to communicate in English on this Wikipedia or provide a machine translation if you cannot. You may instead be interested in the Arabic Wikipedia.

While editing articles here does it comes with citations all times? --Greenwinch (talk) 22:55, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Greenwinch – I'm not certain I understand what you are asking. If you are asking if all articles must have citations, the answer is yes, under the notability guidelines articles must demonstrate that the topic has been talked about in reliable sources through citations. If instead you are asking whether all content in an article must have citations, the answer is a bit complicated. Under the verifiability policy, inline citations are required when a statement has been challenged by someone else or is likely to be challenged by someone else, as well as for direct quotes and anything potentially controversial about a living person. This means that usually yes, most material needs a citation, but in some cases they are not required. Please be aware that if an unsourced change is reverted it may not be restored without including a citation. Tollens (talk) 18:39, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response, just in line to learn and work with Wikipedia.

How do I create a page --Sata 126 (talk) 17:32, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sata 126! It looks like you have figured it out, but there are a couple things you should additionally be aware of if you are attempting to write a new article. On Wikipedia, all articles must demonstrate that their topic is what we call notable, meaning that it has been talked about in reliable sources. Usually this requires that at least three sources are provided in the article before a draft can be published. Additionally, articles must be written from a neutral point of view, meaning that words such as "glorious" or "illustrious" are not usually appropriate in a Wikipedia article. You might be interested in the page Help:Your first article, which has some helpful information. Tollens (talk) 18:50, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the official wikipedia / account of NSANJE KING MW

🇲🇼 🦋 --Nsanje king mw (talk) 18:31, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nsanje king mw! This doesn't seem to be a question, do you have a question about using or editing Wikipedia? Please be aware that Wikipedia is not for advertising. Tollens (talk) 18:45, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thanks for your help. So. we've been having problems with stroll that each time we create an article for our artist, the troll goes and deletes it. Could you help me create a page for the artist and help me to lock it (if there's such a thing) so this troll editor can't delete it? --Hollywood454545 (talk) 01:43, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker)

Who is this "we" you are referring to? What other accounts do you have here?

Someone who has the user right to delete pages isn't a troll, but an administrator, who likely deleted the article because it was unambiguously promotional. Without knowing who the article subject is, it's impossible to investigate.

Go to WP:YFA and follow the directions. You're a paid editor, you have a conflict of interest, and the only venue available on Wikipedia for users with a conflict of interest is to create an article in draft space (or your sandbox) and submit it for review. The reviewer then decides if the draft can be published as an article. ~Anachronist (talk) 01:52, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and thanks for mentoring.

I am responding to a "Citation Needed" comment in the article on Kylea Tink. I've added an appropriate citation, but I can't seem to make it replace the "Citation Needed" text; it just appears next to it. Am I doing it wrong? --GJYFromOz (talk) 06:59, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi GJYFromOz! Citation needed tags are manually placed by other editors and have to be manually removed as well. If you edit the page again, you can remove it by clicking the tag (while editing the page), then clicking the backspace key. Tollens (talk) 17:58, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that worked. GJYFromOz (talk) 11:25, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How do i do the pop up note thing for the sources? --Relvojtax0 (talk) 13:21, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Relvojtax0! You may want to read through this help page which explains how to add references as well as what kinds of references are typically required. If you still have questions after reading that page, please feel free to ask and I'll be happy to help. Tollens (talk) 18:48, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I'm glad that you understood what I was trying to do. A combination of the behavior of the AFCH script and my apparent lack of attention caused my edits to get messed up. The draft is now correctly tagged for comparison and combination into the article. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:27, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you give me suggestions on how to get better? --CalculusPerson (talk) 01:16, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CalculusPerson: Not without more information, no. Get better at what, specifically? Tollens (talk) 05:12, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I spoke with you a few days ago at the Teahouse about using non-free images. I have another question: Can I take a screenshot from a film myself and upload it? Wafflewombat (talk) 09:32, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Wafflewombat! That would absolutely be okay. The file upload wizard will help you add the necessary copyright information. Be aware, however, that you will need to replace the image currently in the article right after uploading it, and you should tag the old image with {{Di-orphaned non-free use}} once you've done so. Tollens (talk) 09:50, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Wafflewombat (talk) 10:07, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How to add a photo --Saby Lo (talk) 23:57, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Saby Lo – you can upload images at Wikimedia Commons. Based on your edits so far, it appears you may be unaware that Wikipedia is not for advertising or promotional activities; please do not create pages which serve only to promote their subject. Tollens (talk) 16:55, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings!

There has been some misinformation shared about my culture/society/religion/family. If I can't remove the misinformation from the page, can I remove my family's affiliation with the page?

Kind Regards.

Mr.T --Trutherts (talk) 04:27, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Trutherts, is this related to the edit you attempted to make at Gitlaan? It looks like you were alerted to the fact that your edit removed the category tags used for article sorting (I assume you didn't see that this was part of your edit and was unintentional). As far as I can tell there were no other issues with what you were trying to do at that article. You can try making the edit again, just make sure that the category isn't removed and it should go through. Alternatively, you can tell me exactly what you want changed and I can probably make the edit on your behalf. Tollens (talk) 17:05, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I wrote an article about Altin Duraj, a businessman in Albania, but I think my article is not published. Why? Can you help me? --RPDigitalAL (talk) 09:54, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was deleted as it looked promotional and had no references. We suspect you are editing for work. Secretlondon (talk) 12:34, 22 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sir, I'm Brian and i had a question concerning writing prompts in the search bar, could you recommend some of the best practices pls --Ipogian (talk) 11:29, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Brian, I'm not certain I understand what you're asking about, are you referring to Wikipedia's internal search bar? I can only help with Wikipedia-related questions so I will assume that's the case. If so, in most cases you can just put in the topic you are looking for, and often you will be automatically redirected to the correct page even if you didn't put in the specific title. In more complicated cases, there are a wide variety of additional filters that can be used by going to Special:Search and opening up the advanced search dropdown. There are even more tools that can be used (like regexes if you know how to use them, don't worry if you don't) that are documented at mw:Help:CirrusSearch. If I've misunderstood your question please do let me know. Tollens (talk) 06:23, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi sir ! I would add more authentic information about history of Kashmir Eg .Buddhism in Kashmir ,can you guide me . Thanks --DrAshrafmath (talk) 00:25, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Qamarwari[edit]

Qamarwari, (Kashmiri pronunciation: [Qamarwor]) in Kashmiri, is a neighborhood in Indian-administered Srinagar of Jammu and Kashmir. It is located about 6 km north of Lal Chowk, Srinagar on Srinagar-Baramullah Highway in Jammu and Kashmir, Indian administered Kashmir . DrAshrafmath (talk) 02:53, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DrAshrafmath! You can work on a new article by creating a draft; you can do so using the article wizard. I would suggest reading through Help:Your first article before starting. Once the draft is ready, you can submit it for review and publication. Tollens (talk) 03:54, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
