hi, i want to make a wiki page about mysenlf and my organisation. how can i create that --Priyam1809 (talk) 10:47, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Priyam1809, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I'd first like to warn you about a couple of points. First, writing an article is about the hardest thing you can do on Wikipedia, and if this is your first time editing, I highly discourage you from starting that way. Instead, there are other smaller tasks that you can do to get started knowing the ropes of this online encyclopedia. Second, I'd also like to point out that Wikipedia is not a means to promote your business. It is an encyclopedia, not a blog, and will only accepts articles about companies if these meet the notability crtieria.

So, if these two points did not succeed in discouraging you from writing an article about your own company, you may check out this complete help topic on creating an article. Note that, most important of all, you will need to declare that you are being paid to edit.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hello I don’t really want to edit nothing I made to set up a page for me I am a influencer and wanted to get information about me on here for my followers thank you for helping me I truly appreciate you. --Angelheartsyouu (talk) 19:08, 14 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Priyam1809, and welcome to Wikipedia!

For general guidance on creating a page about yourself: Wikipedia:Autobiography. It is highly discouraged, but possible if you follow Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and if you have coverage in multiple independent, secondary reliable sources.

Let me know if you have any questions!

I do not plan to edit - why have they changed the format from a plain search entry? --Old Man Muses (talk) 21:58, 15 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Old Man Muses! Not sure what you are asking for here. Could you clarify a little? Thanks! Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 14:36, 16 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to be all over my mistakes, which is terrific. Because there aren't enough people to tell me I'M WRONG. I'm not wrong - I just don't know how to provide factual information. I didn't know people would be so rude. I'm trying to figure out how to provide factual, verifiable information, but no one seems to want to tell me how to do that, including you.

Nor do I know where or how to state that I am employed by Brigham and Women's Hospital. I hate Wikipedia and will never donate again.

I don't understand some of these pages. If you can't be helpful, stop trolling, please. DWB Executive Assistant (talk) 15:19, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@DWB Executive Assistant, I have done my best to be as informative as I could in this thread. I have provided you with links on how to declare your conflict-of-interest, and I don't see where I was being rude/trolling (examples would help before making such accusations). Cheers, Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 15:25, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Happy to see you participating in the meta of the Xfprocess. Nobody should be relisting for the third time. Even frequent 3rd time relisters know this (and shed a little tear when they must do so). Let admins make the calls which might be later disputed. On the other hand I strongly encourage you to keep making bold choices, some of which might later turn out to be sub-optimal. No harm here, and if I didn't care about your efforts I'd have stayed silent. You're doing fine by me. BusterD (talk) 15:33, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much for your helpful comments @BusterD! I will not be relisting AfDs a 3rd time from now on . Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 15:35, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cocobb8,

I just wanted to say thank you for looking into and contributing edits to my first page I created: Draft:Mark Kotter I welcome any recommendations on what needs to be improved so that article would pass next review and get published. Thank you for helping.

Kind regards,

Damjana Damjana12 (talk) 21:13, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Damjana12! Thanks for reaching out for improving the draft .

I've taken a look at the draft, and have a few comments:

• The picture you uploaded is listed as "own work". I would assume you are the person who this draft is about? If so, note that you must disclose that as it constitutes a conflict-of-interest. Instructions on how to do so here.
• The first time the person is mentioned, they full name should be used, which is what you did. The times after that, they should only be referred to by their last name. A complete guide on how that works here.
• Section titles should be capitalized (only the first letter)
• Use citations to your own publishings sparingly, per WP:SELFCITING.
• Try to keep the sources to those that show independent, secondary, significant coverage (i.e. reliable sources) of yourself, as this will help demonstrating that you are notable (by Wikipedia's standards). Though, you will see that there are alternative criteria there, but sources are the best way to demonstrate notability.

Other tidbits about autobiographies can be found here.

Let me know if you have any other questions; I'd be glad to help!

Hi Cocobb8,

Thank you so much for helping, your feedback and links to resources. Will look at it now and try to further improve. This is my first article so I'm still learning but it is very interesting and I would like to contribute more in the future once I get the basics right with this one. I took the picture myself after a conference on networking event, Mark had an interesting talk there and I thought to build a page about the interesting work he has been doing.

Many thanks,

Damjana Damjana12 (talk) 19:10, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Damjana12, thanks for clarifying! If you do not know them personally, that would not constitute a conflict of interest, so no need to disclose it. Let me know if you encounter issues or have other questions as you work on the draft. Cheers, Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 19:24, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you again I've read the links and went to edit what you recommended, I appreciate your support on this. Damjana12 (talk) 20:11, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. When you closed WP:Articles for deletion/Chumbak TV, you wrote It is always better to redirect rather than delete per WP:ATD.^diff That is not faithful to WP:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion as written. The interpretation of ATD is disputed and was last discussed at WT:Deletion policy/Archive 51#Prefatory material on alternatives (October–December 2023). Would you consider removing that sentence from your closing statement? Flatscan (talk) 04:29, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Flatscan, thanks for pointing this out, I have modified my closing statement and will be careful with similar closings in the future .

Cheers! Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 13:16, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your quick response! Happy editing! Flatscan (talk) 04:23, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello How do I edit already entered information which is not up to date and underwent a change in the last few days --Mathemagicians (talk) 06:00, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Mathemagicians, what page would this be about, and what specifically needs to be updated? You should be able to edit the page yourself (unless it has some kind of protection). Cocobb8 (💬 talk • ✏️ contribs) 13:17, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
