== Question from ] (11:45, 17 December 2024) ==

Hello Lectonar / Isochrone,

I have a question on how can I get my translation published as official articles in Misplaced Pages. I have currently two 'privately' published Finnish translation on topics:

- "Microsoft Azure Quantum" at https://fi.wikipedia.org/K%C3%A4ytt%C3%A4j%C3%A4:AkaIgnotum/Microsoft_Azure_Quantum

- "Cloud-based quantum computing" at

Reducing page protection for Appaloosa

I would like to request a reduction in page protection (Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_page_protection) for Appaloosa, which was protected by you back in 2016 (?), due to a reduction in disruptive editing and vandalism on the page from 2016 to 2024. Thank you! Obversa (talk) 22:57, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

@Obversa: Happy new year, and sorry for the late reply: the reduction in disruptive editing and vandalism is the consequence of the page being semi-protected. Lookinig at the whole page history I do not think a reduction of protection will be helpful. Lectonar (talk) 09:56, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Question from Usee72844 (20:44, 3 January 2025)

Hi my friend hope your well.

I’m trying to make a page for my client he’s currently a free agent but has played for football clubs like derby county Mansfield town Blackpool and so on. He’s flying out to saudi soon and I need a page setting up about his career. Would you be able to help me as this is the first time doing this.

Thankyou :) --Usee72844 (talk) 20:44, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

@Usee72844: My advice to new editors is to not even think about trying to create an article until you have spent several weeks - at least - learning about how Misplaced Pages works by making improvements to existing articles. Once you have understood core policies such as verifiability, neutral point of view, reliable, independent sources, and notability, and experienced how we handle disagreements with other editors (the Bold, Revert, Discuss cycle), then you might be ready to read your first article carefully, and try creating a draft. Add to that that you have a conflict of interest (which needs to be declared, btw), and it becomes very very difficult. Just read all the links I have provided, and if you have more questions feel free to ask again. Cheers. Lectonar (talk) 08:45, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Question from Redpandaisonfire on Kneecap (band) (15:13, 13 January 2025)

Hello I wanted to verify the boycotts in this page in the political views section and have found a few sources where they have went against their words stated here I feel it's fairly important if we put in that they went against what they said i tried bringing it up in the talk page but have yet to get any response I have linked sources in the talk page but it seems largely ignored I would try to make the changes myself but I am unsure how any help would be great thanks --Redpandaisonfire (talk) 15:13, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

I am not really knowledgeable in the topic, but I am not convinced it really is important enough to be included in the article. Anyway, you will need reliable secondary sources before you add it. Be bold. Lectonar (talk) 09:22, 15 January 2025 (UTC)

Question from CanadaMaple on Request for Page Protection

Hi there, I saw your reply on page protection for Chai Keong Toh. How many incidents should we tolerate before asking for page protection? Based on the last few incidents, it seems that the attackers are using only raw IP addresses to create defamation on the subject, which is uncivil and improper for Misplaced Pages. There are also no reliable sources provided. I am thinking a protection against edits by raw IP addresses would help, as the attackers always use raw IP addresses (usually from a Mobile Phone, doing mobile edits). CanadaMaple123 (talk) 16:07, 14 January 2025 (UTC)

Hello...for starters, see our protection policy. As Misplaced Pages is the encyclopedia that every one can edit, there is a rather high threshold before we protect a page. About 70-80% of all edits are done by IPs, and only a minoriyty are disruptive edits. Lectonar (talk) 08:03, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
