My guestbook

Feel free to add a message at User:Bsoyka/Guestbook! Hi Bsoyka, nice to see you around. ϢereSpielChequers 20:02, 9 May 2021 (UTC)[reply] Thanks for your help today with the typo I found which needed editing. I did look around for some sort of edit on the page itself, and didn't see it, but will look harder next time. Take care, justsaynoemore(returns) ;) Justsaynoemorereturns (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 21:44, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply] Glad to see another fellow Wikipedian supporting the guestbook cause History DMZ (HQ) † (wire) 21:22, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply] Thanks so much for your help with my bad batch expertise.

Getting anywhere on that pywikibot problem? Maybe it's got too long a list of things to work on, and that fills up memory? It's hard to imagine logging so much that it fills up anything like the amount of memory that programs tend to be given these days. Dicklyon (talk) 06:36, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dicklyon: I haven't had a chance to work on it, sorry (currently in the middle of moving to a new house). Bsoyka (t • c • g) 01:54, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Have a good move! Dicklyon (talk) 02:19, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bsoyka! A few years ago you helped me with my draft for Breaktime (organization). I'm currently writing more Wikipedia pages for nonprofits in Boston doing impactful work. Could you please take a look at my draft for Horizons? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Horizons_for_Homeless_Children

Thanks so much! Let me know if there's anything else I need to add WikiSpitfire (talk) 18:10, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiSpitfire: Hey! Yes, I remember that! Your draft looks pretty good at a first glance. I'm somewhat busy in the real world right now but would be happy to come back and take a deeper look later. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 02:00, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, whenever you have the time! I appreciate your help. WikiSpitfire (talk) 14:33, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think I can use this article? https://concordbridge.org/index.php/2024/03/23/concord-quietly-welcoming-migrants-to-local-emergency-shelter/

It has some good information about one of their programs. It's from a local news outlet called the Concord Bridge WikiSpitfire (talk) 18:06, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiSpitfire: I don't see why not! Seems like a reliable source to me—and this page on their website is especially reassuring. Bsoyka (t • c • g) 19:59, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiSpitfire: Hey again! I've just accepted and published your article. Great work! Bsoyka (t • c • g) 18:26, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again for your help! In the future, if I write another article that is at a similar level in terms of quality, can I move it from draft into article without going through the articles of creation? I saw that because I've done 10 edits, I can make articles directly. WikiSpitfire (talk) 13:22, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiSpitfire: You absolutely can, but I'll advise you to still be careful when creating new articles. What I do is put together my drafts inside my userspace until I'm sure they meet all the relevant policies, especially WP:GNG. For example, my draft for Ray Hugh Garvey lives at User:Bsoyka/Drafts/Ray Hugh Garvey until I'm ready to move it into the main article space. You don't have to use this process, but it's what I do and recommend. As always, I'm here if you have further questions and looking forward to seeing what else you create. Happy editing!

Hello I am an author of two independently published novels. How do I create my own article about myself and my books for people to read and have knowledge about my work? --Fotizokings (talk) 12:28, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Fotizokings: Hey there! I'm going to strongly advise against doing any of that for a lot of reasons:

1. Wikipedia is not a place for advertising or promotion. I understand it's tempting to share your work with the world here, but that's simply not what Wikipedia is here for.
2. Since you have a conflict of interest, you won't truly be able to write about yourself and your work in a neutral point of view, which is something we require. This is why we have a guideline strongly against autobiographies.
3. Correctly creating articles on Wikipedia takes a lot of experience, and you should try to build up your skills before writing a new article about any subject. See my essay on this for a little more information there.

I know this isn't quite the answer you wanted to hear, but I hope it helps you grow as a contributor to this great project. Happy editing, and reach out with whatever other questions you may have! Bsoyka (t • c • g) 13:35, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
