Question from Moshelillien (02:42, 26 March 2024)[edit]
can anyone see my ip when I make edits on my account? --Moshelillien (talk) 02:42, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- The short answer is no, or at least that you don't have to worry about it!
Normal-ish people like you, me, and administrators can't. However, something our encyclopedia hates is wp:sockpuppetry, which is when an editor makes multiple accounts with the goal of unfairly influencing community decisions or evading a block. Thus, we have 53 wp:CheckUsers, who went through a vigorous selection process to make sure that they'll only use users' IP addresses to check if another user uses a suspiciously similar address. This can still only be checked if you've edited within the last wmf:data retention period, that is, the last 90 days. Rest assured, your private information is in safe hands.

Question from Morwampuru on SOPHIA.org (13:48, 27 March 2024)[edit]
Hello,how can I create my own article? --Morwampuru (talk) 13:48, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
- Well, it's heavily advised against. See Help:Your first article § Things to avoid. First of all, you have to meet wp:notability, which means that you have to be the main subject of several articles from wp:reliable sources. Secondly, you have to be terribly unbiased about yourself. If you really want to do this, you can check out the instructions at Help:Your first article. Aaron Liu (talk) 14:24, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
Question from Sana khn on Talk:Writing (16:47, 27 March 2024)[edit]
How i start work ? Without investment --Sana khn (talk) 16:47, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi, how are you? I want to translate an article that exists in Dutch into English, is there an easy way to do that? Or do I have to create a new article? Could you walk me through how it works?
Thanks, Andra --AndraM512 (talk) 13:04, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hey! Help:Translation can get you started. You can start by using the Wikipedia:Article wizard to create a blank page, and then you can edit that page. Aaron Liu (talk) 13:21, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
April 24[edit]
You need to read wp:bludgeon. Slatersteven (talk) 13:34, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- I've just responded to one additional chain and you call that bludgeoning? Aaron Liu (talk) 14:19, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, as you are just saying the same thing over and over again, in response (it seems) to every user. Slatersteven (talk) 15:44, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
