Hi please help, I just want to make a wikipedia for my husband. He is a director here in Philippines --EdmerGuanlao (talk) 16:15, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello, it is standard practice to not write about your relatives or loved ones per our conflict of interest guideline. If you have at least 3 independent and reliable sources, you can request an article at Wikipedia:Article requests! Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 18:41, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Hollienoelle1987 (01:49, 5 August 2024)

Hey. So, I am trying to create a personal article. My name is Hollie Noelle Seay and I escaped the Bermuda Triangle of the South --Hollienoelle1987 (talk) 01:49, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Okay! Thanks for this response. I’m guessing I don’t know. I just want to spread some awareness. Because, I made it out alive where as many girls haven’t. :( 2600:1700:5A90:254F:FCE6:3C7D:FF7:386F (talk) 12:59, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Avi Chowdhuri on Montažstroj (20:22, 6 August 2024)

তোর নাম...

  Avi Chowdhuri

যদি তুই পাখি হস আমার এই নীলাকাশে,, শিষ দিয়ে কথা বলিস শরতের এ বাতাসে, যদি তুই ফুল হয়ে ঝরে পড়িস জোছনাতে চাঁদ টাকে সাথী করে... যাবো দূর... অজানাতে ! যদি তুই মায়া ভরা মুখটাতে একবার ডাকিস,

প্রিয় নাম ধরে......

মরে যাবো বারেবার মুচকি হাসিতে ,,

কিছু স্মৃতি আর ভুলগুলো

পড়ে রবে পায়ে পায়ে... বেদনার ফুলহয়ে,,! তবু যদি তুই থাকিস পাওয়া না পাওয়ার ভীড়ে... লিখে দিবো তোর নাম বুকের গহীনে !! --Avi Chowdhuri (talk) 20:22, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello, @Avi Chowdhuri and welcome to Wikipedia. Are you sure you are on the right language version of Wikipedia? This is English Wikipedia but you might be comfortable in Bengali Wikipedia. After translating, it looked like a poem. Do you have a question? Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 20:59, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Jayseagull (03:35, 7 August 2024)

Hi there. The site is saying I should make a user page for myself. Is that required, encouraged, or does it really matter? What do people normally put on their user page? --Jayseagull (talk) 03:35, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello, @Jayseagull and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia! User pages are not a required part of Wikipedia but can help editors see how familiar you are towards them. You can put WP:Userboxes, WP:Babel codes, and any information like articles you’ve created on your user page! You can take a look at mine here: User:Cowboygilbert!

Question

I am learning about editing and am looking at an article on Vikas Kohli (https://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Vikas_Kohli&action=edit). Reference 1 is clearly wrong but I don't know what the correct reference might be. Do I just write in my edit "wrong reference"? Thank you for your help and patience. Gabishopfolk (talk) 08:00, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello, @Gabishopfolk and welcome to Wikipedia. Please read Help:Referencing for beginners to be able to expand your knowledge on referencing! If you have any more questions, you can ask here or at the teahouse to more skilled editors! Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 14:41, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from JDavidson2004 (13:32, 8 August 2024)

How do I create a citation for referencing my sources? --JDavidson2004 (talk) 13:32, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello, @JDavidson2004 and welcome to Wikipedia! Please read Help:Referencing for beginners and look at the pages that I will send in your talk page! Happy editing, Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 17:29, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Flo milli photo .

Hey im new to this wikipedia stuff and like im confused what happened to my edit and what does good faith mean . Idk if im supposed to post my question here but thanks !! Haloretailstore (talk) 03:32, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

I reverted your edit on a assume good faith basis because the licensing of the photo was unknown. It said that you had took the photo but the photos looked to be from Gettys, someone’s social media, or a non-free video. You also had a misleading edit summary of saying the photo was “outdated” when the photo was from an interview a month prior to the changing of the photo. Thank you, Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 04:02, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Wait so I'm confused on the copy right like what is it supposed to be and what was mine . Haloretailstore (talk) 05:05, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

It was suspected that the photo was a copyright violation due to the non-specific information given on the Commons description. Did you take the photo with your personal camera or did you find the photo on the internet? Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 05:06, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

My friend took the photo bc She a photographer for Flo and I asked and she said yes . Haloretailstore (talk) 05:26, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

The photo has to be released under a creative commons license. She, herself, has to upload the photo with at least some sort of proof that she took the photo and when she uploads it, it has to be under a creative commons license which can be bad for business because she could lose money because anyone who has access to Commons can use the image. So, in order to have the photo be released onto Commons or English Wikipedia, your friend has to upload it herself. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 05:34, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Jayseagull (02:22, 17 August 2024)

Hi again. I have been looking at the manual of style trying to find out what guidelines Wikipedia has for articles about books. Right now I'm specifically interested in non-fiction books. I am having trouble finding if there are guidelines for what an article about a book should look like? --Jayseagull (talk) 02:22, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Well, with any book articles it has to cover the general-notability guidlines and the specific-notability guidelines for books. MOS:NOVELS can help show the manual of style of how most book articles are structured on English Wikipedia but you can structure it to however other books look like. WP:NC-BK is the naming convention for books, this is what the title name of the article has to match. Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 02:56, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
