Question from Dr.Yaslam (16:31, 31 December 2023)

Hi mentor, How are you on this fine day?

I want to ask you what am I supposed to do first. I am confused. Today is the day I signed up to make the Wikipedia family better and stronger with our strongly written and sourced articles.

Thank you, Dr. Yaslam --Dr.Yaslam (talk) 16:31, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Welcome @Dr.Yaslam! I'd suggest getting started here: Help:Introduction_to_Wikipedia. This will help you get familiar with Wikipedia policies and editing with Wiki Markup. After that, you can find ways to help out at: Wikipedia:Task Center。 You can find WikiProjects that you are interested in here: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Council/Directory. 94rain Talk 21:39, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Question from Rishikaa Tiwari (16:51, 1 January 2024)

Hello, I wish to write a page about a person what should I do to start with --Rishikaa Tiwari (talk) 16:51, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Rishikaa Tiwari. You might want to take a look at Wikipedia:Notability (people) first. If you think the person you want to write about meets one of the requirements, you can go to WP:AFC to create a draft. Let me know if you have any questions. 94rain Talk 17:36, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Edited : Draft:Mustata Hawash

Hello , I’ve edited the sources which shows the news for the person itself not his books , kindly check and change name of draft from “ Mustata “ to “Mustafa” as it was a mistake . with pleasure Akram AkramHosny22 (talk) 04:10, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

@AkramHosny22 Great, but you don't need to delete sources about the book. Please also see Help:Referencing_for_beginners about how to properly add footnotes. If you are writing about someone that you have relationships with, please read WP:COI for declaring a conflict of interest. Just wanted to double check on that. Thanks. 94rain Talk 04:15, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for your respond , however I want to add the previous sources about the books he wrote , could you add them fot me or allow me to edit it so I can provide all links?
with pleasure AkramHosny22 (talk) 04:31, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello , kindly delete the previous article as there was a mistake in the name , however I created a professional draft “ Mustafa Hawash “
kindly check it for a review and tell me if there is and edits needed
also , I read thr articles you sent and I am not subjected to that author
thanks . AkramHosny22 (talk) 05:18, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for confirming that. As I said earlier, please read Help:Referencing_for_beginners about how to properly add footnotes. You can use citer to generate footnotes. Thanks. 94rain Talk 08:43, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Alright so if I added the footnotes will it get approved ? Is this was the problem? AkramHosny22 (talk) 08:54, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
I cannot promise that. But with added footnotes, it'd be easier for us to see if the person meets Wikipedia's notability criteria. 94rain Talk 08:56, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Sure , but I will add the footnotes to the other draft " Mustafa Hawash " because this one called " Mustata " by a mistake ok ?
and I Will mention you after finishing this
Thank you so much AkramHosny22 (talk) 09:03, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello , I have added the footnotes and made it detailed biography for the current work
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mustafa_Hawash
kindly check the changes AkramHosny22 (talk) 09:44, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello , I am sorry for reaching you more than one time , I also added the changes to our previous draft “ Mustata Hawash “ which we are talking about but kindly edit the sympol t to f from your side
thanks and sorry for disturbing AkramHosny22 (talk) 10:12, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
You might want add a translated_title (See Template:Cite_web#Foreign_language_and_translated_title). I can take a look when I'm more free. 94rain Talk 10:34, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello , is this the true code I should add ?
هواش, العربية (15 January 2004). "مصطفى هواش" [Mustafa Hawash] (in Arabic). Retrieved 3 January 2024. AkramHosny22 (talk) 10:48, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Re: Charles Jonasen

You mention that there is an issue because the page is a "biography of a living person," but this person has been dead for over 30 years, so it's not clear why this standard has been applied. NorseLord (talk) 19:41, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi NorseLord. Looks like it was a mistake. I just removed that comment. Thanks for adding another source. We can probably user more sources though. Also the draft is still a bit short for me to accept at the moment. 94rain Talk 19:52, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Tricks3281 (04:58, 5 January 2024)

How do you create those text boxes that can be seen on various pages that give quick facts about somebody or something(the one usually below the first paragraph of a page)? --Tricks3281 (talk) 04:58, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

@Tricks3281 I suppose you are talking about WP:Infobox? You can find other relevant links here: Template:WikiProject_Infoboxes_sidebar. 94rain Talk 05:01, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
Yep, that’s what I was asking about. Thanks. Tricks3281 (talk) 05:03, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from ImperialSaponification (03:25, 9 January 2024)

I want to edit the talk page for an article (I want to bring up an issue the article has) but it only gives me the option to edit source, which I don't really know how to do. --ImperialSaponification (talk) 03:25, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi ImperialSaponification. There should be a "new section" button. If you can only see "view source", it's likely that the page has been protected. 94rain Talk 00:07, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Vincesblt (14:46, 16 January 2024)

Hi 94rain ! I just saw a wiki page of a violonist that i really appreciate. The page appears in several languages but not in my french (my native language). How is the best way to create the french version of the page ? Thank you for your help ! :) By the way, the violonist is "Yury Revich" --Vincesblt (talk) 14:46, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Vincesblt. I think the best way is to start at fr:Special:ContentTranslation on French Wikipedia. You can input the title of page in other languages. WP:CXT may provide some helpful information. 94rain Talk 02:27, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Drtn.2020 (11:22, 19 January 2024)

Hello, dear Mentor! I would like to ask you for guidance on how to create a page about a company an it's patents? --Drtn.2020 (talk) 11:22, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi. You can start at Help:Your first article. Note that some strict requirement (Notability) has to be evaluated based on Wikipedia:Notability#General_notability_guideline for a standalone article to exist. Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations may be helpful too. 94rain Talk 17:44, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
