Dear Iffy,

I want to create my biography page, could you please help me in this. --JackCharlie07 (talk) 07:29, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Welcome! New users to Wikipedia are recommended to use Wikipedia:Articles for creation to create new articles. Writing about yourself is generally not a good idea, however if you want to proceed, the Articles for creation process has guidance on what is needed for an article to be published.

Welcome! If you think your page is ready to be moved in to Wikipedia's article space, all you have to do is to add {{subst:submit}} to the top of your sandbox, and as part of the review process, a reviewer will move the page in to the Draft space with an appropriate title.

Question from 4-Commons-Aesthetics (16:31, 11 July 2023)

Hi Iffy, there is this super interesting network around Marg magazine (Mulk Raj Anand, Minnette de Silva) that one can read about in an online archiv. I now posted some external links to those persons mentioned above, but another member (see my user talk) changed them as this was too close to advertising. Can you give me any tipps how to include such an interesting finding? Many thanks! --4-Commons-Aesthetics (talk) 16:31, 11 July 2023 (UTC)

If there is content from the online archive you mention that should be included in the article, you should add the content to the article and then use the archive as your reference. See Help:Referencing for beginners to learn more on how to cite your sources. Iffy★Chat -- 09:30, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

Question from Girly Fungi (15:23, 10 August 2023)

Hi Iffy! I'm trying to create a Wikipedia page and I'm wondering why I can't rename my title. --Girly Fungi (talk) 15:23, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello! I see from your contributions that you had been attempting to create a page through Wikipedia:Articles for creation, but the page was being declined. The reviewers who declined the page will have left the reasons why the page was not approved both on the page's articles for creation templates, and in messages on your user talk page. I would recommend listening to the advice given by the reviewers before re-submitting. Iffy★Chat -- 15:43, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Weronika Ewald has been accepted

Weronika Ewald, which you submitted to Articles for creation, has been created.

Congratulations, and thank you for helping expand the scope of Wikipedia! We hope you will continue making quality contributions.

The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. It is commonplace for new articles to start out as stubs and then attain higher grades as they develop over time. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article.

Since you have made at least 10 edits over more than four days, you can now create articles yourself without posting a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for creation if you prefer.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask at the help desk. Once you have made at least 10 edits and had an account for at least four days, you will have the option to create articles yourself without posting a request to Articles for creation.

If you would like to help us improve this process, please consider leaving us some feedback.

Thanks again, and happy editing!

Question from Ferryguy123 (02:48, 21 August 2023)

I put this in vessel types on the blackwattle bay service page:

Minicat vessel

When you hover over "Minicat ferry" on the page it says in red writing "Minicat ferry (page does not exist)". I will create an article for that page but for now I need it to be in black writing and not linked to anything. How do I do that? --Ferryguy123 (talk) 02:48, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

To remove a wikilink, edit the page and look for the [[ ]] brackets surrounding the text, and then remove the symbols, these brackets are how Wikipedia creates links to other articles. Iffy★Chat -- 08:44, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Question from Ferryguy123 (03:00, 21 August 2023)

I want to remove something because I'm 99% sure it's outdated. Is there a service I can use to make sure? --Ferryguy123 (talk) 03:00, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

You can be bold and remove the outdated text yourself by simply editing the article in question. It is better to try and update the article so that the information is up to date rather than simply removing outdated information, so if you can, do that instead. Iffy★Chat -- 08:46, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Question from Tet-Math on User:Tet-Math/sandbox (06:57, 20 August 2023)

I need to insert a diagram to show what part of the tetrahedron these equations apply. I couldn't find the equations I needed anywhere online including Wolfram's Math World. I'd be shocked to death if these equations are new knowledge. Tet-Math --Tet-Math (talk) 06:57, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Wikimedia Commons hosts a large number of mathematical diagrams that are free to use anywhere on the internet. If you can't find what you're looking for there, then other users at Wikipedia:WikiProject Mathematics may be able to help you. Iffy★Chat -- 08:03, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

Hello lffy

I could not find an existing diagram that suited my needs on the commons pages.

I still need to find a way to insert a diagram that's labeled the way I need it to be marked.

I drew the diagram I need to use so there should not be a copyright infringement.

Tet-Math Tet-Math (talk) 06:14, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

I don't know if you saw my answer below, but in case you didn't, I will repeat it here. The best way to get your newly created diagram in to your submission is to go back to Wikimedia Commons and to upload the diagram there. This Upload Wizard will take you through all the necessary steps. Once your diagram is uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, you link to it on the page (e.g. [[File:filename.png]]) and the diagram will appear. Iffy★Chat -- 08:48, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Welcome! Writing an article about yourself is strongly discouraged for the reasons listed at Wikipedia:Autobiography. The best advice I can give is to focus on your boxing, and if you perform well enough, eventually someone who does not have a conflict of interest will write about you. Iffy★Chat -- 22:23, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Question from Tet-Math (08:27, 23 August 2023)

Hello lffy I still need to insert a diagram into my submission. I looked at the Common Section you suggested & could not find a suitable illustration there. I drafted the diagram myself so there is no danger of copyright infringement. But I still have to find a way to insert the diagram that I drafted myself ! Thank You --Tet-Math (talk) 08:27, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

My response was: Thank you - that's the next thing I'll try.

Meanwhile I'm still expanding my submission. I've got many more equations I need to install !

Question from Jeffrey dillingham (23:46, 4 September 2023)

Hello, Iffy. I am new and would very much appreciate your guidance with a polite addendum to the biography of General Anthony Wayne pertaining to the "In Popular Culture" section. This is specific to Wayne's clever psuedo-fictional use in season 3 of the Boardwalk Empire as a plot arc for main antagonist Gyp Rosetti. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. --Jeffrey dillingham (talk) 23:46, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Welcome! The best way to add this information to the article is to find a reliable source that discusses this matter, and then to edit the article to write a sentence based on what the source says in the appropriate section, citing your source. Iffy★Chat -- 08:30, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sofia Open (tennis)

Hello Iffy,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Sofia Open (tennis) for deletion, because it's a redirect from an article title to a namespace that's not for articles.

If you don't want Sofia Open (tennis) to be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

are u a real person --Bobace1235 (talk) 12:40, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Need help

Hi Iffy,

I found you on the mentors page, and you might be the right person to answer the questions I have. I have two questions, please

How do I archive message sn my talkp age?
How do I access the tool used in Reviewing articles under the New Pages?

Looking forward to hearing from you. Happy Thanksgiving! Prithee P (talk) 10:37, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello!

1. To archive messages on your talk page, all you have to do is add {{subst:Setup cluebot archiving|archives=yes}} at the top of the talk page, and a bot will start archiving for you in a few days. More guidance can be found at Help:Archiving a talk page.

2. Reviewing new pages is handled by the Wikipedia:New pages patrol project. The guidelines for who can be granted access to these tools are listed at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Reviewers. Iffy★Chat -- 11:14, 27 November 2023 (UTC)

Question from AbhissszZ (08:02, 28 November 2023)

I was writting a biography on myself and it got removed (speedy deletion), I dont know why ?

All facts were correct. --AbhissszZ (talk) 08:02, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello! Your draft was deleted because it was considered to be advertising or promotional instead of encyclopedic. For further details, read the messages other users have left on your user talk page. Also, writing an autobiography is very strongly discouraged on Wikipedia. Iffy★Chat -- 09:52, 28 November 2023 (UTC)

Question from Kawsy (15:11, 30 November 2023)

Hi Dudhhr,

I am on a personal mission to put all my personal knowledge of my life onto wikipedia, from the hospital where I was born to the clothes that I wore since I was a baby to to the ones I wear now. Additionally to the companies Ive worked with and aspire to work if they still dont have Wikipedia pages.

I want to do this so one day, I can open conversations with people based on facts, history and others which I use Wikipedia as a cheat sheet or a trusted reference.

I am currently trying to edit some of my beloved brands and companies from the Philippines (my home country) because not much wikipedia pages are present there and I also want to bolster the industries, brands onto legitimacy to help my countrymen and my country to progress.

Thank you and hoping for your kind help!

Regards,

Hanz --Kawsy (talk) 15:11, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello! There is definitely a shortage of information about Philippine organisations, products and brands in Wikipedia, so your assistance is appreciated. New articles on organisations must meet the requirements in WP:NCORP. Sources used to establish the notability of an organisation must be secondary sources that are considered to be reliable, they must also be independent of the subject and they must also provide significant coverage of the organisation. Please also read the guidance you have been provided by reviewers, as they can help you to improve the quality of your drafts. Iffy★Chat -- 15:31, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Question from Paul Gurung (10:12, 30 November 2023)

Hello. I just created a sandbox and made my article. How do I move it to the main space? Where to review it? --Paul Gurung (talk) 10:12, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

@Paul Gurung: apologies for butting in, but did you read the message I posted on your talk page earlier about creating autobiographies, and more to the point, the many reasons why you shouldn't?

And to answers your question, you should not try to publish this yourself, but should instead put it through an AfC review, on account of your obvious COI. HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:33, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

I tried to sent to it to the review but i was unable to do it. Paul Gurung (talk) 01:54, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Your draft was deleted two days ago, the reasons why were provided to you on your user talk page here. Iffy★Chat -- 09:04, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

Question from SaneFlint (20:24, 30 November 2023)

If I want to add a pic on a Wikipedia article how it can be done --SaneFlint (talk) 20:24, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello! To add pictures to Wikipedia, you need to upload the picture to Wikimedia Commons first. This Upload Wizard will take you through all the necessary steps. Once your picture is uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, you link to it on the page (e.g. [[File:filename.png]]) and the picture will appear. Iffy★Chat -- 20:28, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks I'll follow it up. SaneFlint (talk) 20:53, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

hello are you able to review urdu references books / articles ? SaneFlint (talk) 13:30, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

I do not have any knowledge of Urdu references, but you may be able to get some help evaluating the reliability of sources from Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard or from Wikipedia:WikiProject Pakistan. Iffy★Chat -- 13:41, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

or add in categories SaneFlint (talk) 07:43, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

hi

how do we create categories in page? SaneFlint (talk) 07:43, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

To add categories to a page, add them at the bottom of the page the same way you would add a wikilink (e.g. [[Category:People from Earth]]). Iffy★Chat -- 11:40, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

hi another question.

After going thru some searching I found this page was deleted due to not enough attention from sindhi author's. I'm willing to give it a new breath.

Hello lffy I'm finally trying to upload my diagram BUT the intake system just keeps saying NAME NOT ALOUD --Tet-Math (talk) 05:57, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

Question from Gameking69 (01:15, 30 December 2023)

Hello Mentor Iffy‬,

I'd like to get your feedback on my draft article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Bazel_F._Lazear --Gameking69 (talk) 01:15, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello! I am not an expert in this area, but the draft appears to be well written from a quick review. One thing I would note is the number of WP:REDLINKs that appear at to be of non-notable people or organisations, but that is an easy issue to fix. If you want more detailed assistance on this article, I would recommend Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history or specifically, the Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/American Civil War task force.
