Question from Lori Precious Artist (21:59, 10 July 2024)

Hello! Will you be reviewing my Wiki entry for revisions and approval? I hope I did it correctly! A previous Wiki draft was under Loriprecious and this takes its place. Hopefully, that's all self evident. Many thanks! Lori --Lori Precious Artist (talk) 21:59, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Lori Precious Artist please state the connection between your two accounts publicly, and in the future pick one account to move forward with. It can get confusing to other editors if you are using two accounts.

Are you using Misplaced Pages to promote yourself? If so you have to read the conflict of interest policy carefully. If you really want to try to write an article about yourself, read Misplaced Pages:Your first article in its entirety before continuing. And don't be surprised if the resulting article is promptly deleted or rejected - having a conflict of interest makes it extremely hard to write neutral articles that don't include personal knowledge.

Question from Masterkai89 (11:41, 12 July 2024)

Hello, How can I edit pictures in wikipedia in templates? --Masterkai89 (talk) 11:41, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Masterkai89 Refer to this link for instructions on adding and modifying images in infoboxes. Templates will generally follow the same format. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 12:42, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Fibre H. Bundle (18:48, 16 July 2024)

Hey there! Thanks for being my mentor :) I was wondering what do to with a page like Asado as i stumbled across it. It has a couple sections with no citations, but it also has plagiarism (wholesections copied verbatim from the sources, but not quoted, e.g.) and possibly other issues. I added the original research tag to the article, but i don't know if that's sufficient to indicate this page has more issues, since the plagiarism might be more important. Thanks in advance for your advice! --Fibre H. Bundle (talk) 18:48, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Fibre H. Bundle plagarism is simply not allowed on Misplaced Pages. To handle such cases you should check out Misplaced Pages:Text copyright violations 101#If only part of the article is a problem. If you need any help with that, feel free to message back here and tell me where you are having trouble. It is a somewhat complicated process. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 13:17, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! That link was very useful, I've now properly flagged the page. Cheers! Fibre H. Bundle (talk) 16:08, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Rosstei16 (15:39, 18 July 2024)

how do i replace a photo on a wikipedia page --Rosstei16 (talk) 15:39, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Rosstei16 if you photo you want to add is already uploaded to Wikimedia Commons's database or Misplaced Pages's servers, see Help:Pictures for guidance on the wiki syntax to insert the photo. Obviously delete the old one.

If the photo is not yet uploaded to Wikimedia Commons's database or Misplaced Pages's servers, then see the Upload Wizard. Note that Wikimedia Commons only accepts Creative Commons-compatible images, so most photos on the internet are not compatible. Misplaced Pages accepts Creative Commons-compatible images and those uploaded under fair use. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 13:23, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from School70 (21:43, 18 July 2024)

After ten minutes in the "Sandbox" and "Tutorial" I learned to my surprise that the the process required for a contribution or edit is so technical and full of hip-tech jargon and insider code, that I wonder how open to contributions Misplaced Pages really wants to be. As a retired lawyer, I wonder how I could explain the process to an intelligent judge, let alone a jury of simple laymen. --School70 (talk) 21:43, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

School70 indeed wiki syntax is very complicated; after all, we need to be able to represent a large variety of things (text styling, links, images, infoboxes, references, example code, etc.) with just text. You may want to try the newer Visual Editor aka VE which is more graphical and might be easier to use. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 13:27, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from FergusArgyll (12:09, 23 July 2024)

I've added my first proposed deletion, can you look it over (and the talk section) to make sure it's not too rash?

https://en.wikipedia.org/Marauding_Scot --FergusArgyll (talk) 12:09, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

FergusArgyll seems reasonable, two other editors already 'agreed' with you on the talk page.

I highly recommend you use Twinkle to semi-automate the process of adding PROD tags. (By the way, PROD tags should be placed on articles and old prod tags should be placed on talk pages). Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 13:46, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

OK thanks! should I delete the PROD in the talk page? FergusArgyll (talk) 13:51, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Probably, to avoid confusion. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 13:52, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Abigail a233 on Eda Zoritte (19:18, 23 July 2024)

Hello how do answer a citation --Abigail a233 (talk) 19:18, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Abigail a233 sorry for the late reply, what do you mean by 'answering' a citation? If you mean verifying the citation, details should be located in the citation. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 06:13, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Daeggou (12:06, 25 July 2024)

Hello, thank you for mentoring. I have 2 or 3 questions. Here is the first question. The same spelling mistake in example Zhuang text "i" instead of "u" in cunhyenz (and cunƅyenƨ) appears in multiple languages, is there are easy way to change them all, or is a case of changing one by one? --Daeggou (talk) 12:06, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Daeggou you will have to correct these mistakes one by one in each language. You may want to try using find and replace feature. What are your other questions?

By the way, you may want to contribute to a Misplaced Pages in another language. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 06:18, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you, I thought as much. Apologies for the slow reply. I have found out the answers to some of my questions, but the outstanding question is to do with moving a page, as having over the years become more aware of the negative connotations of the word Sawndip which can be understood as immature writing system and that a title such as Zhuang Characters would be more appropriate. As this is a new account my guess is should wait until enough edits and time before suggesting such a change. FYI the is also the page Sawndip literature which would need to be moved sooner or later. What advice do you have? Daeggou (talk) 12:49, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Daeggou you can suggest the move at any time, you shouldn't be held back by lack of experience. That being said, make sure to check Misplaced Pages:Article titles to understand the policy on article naming. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 18:34, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Hy9do on Tandem language learning (18:56, 30 July 2024)

My translation is that this page helps those who want to learn a special language, for example the English language, by learning the same language for two people, one who understands listening and verbal, and another, for example, learning the language through translation once or in tandem. This sent me to this value Haider Jaber --Hy9do (talk) 18:56, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from LeónGonsalvesofGoa (02:31, 14 August 2024)

I began reviewing an article (https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Tamil_culture/GA1), and the user who nominated it was responsive and reasonable. While I was awaiting a response to one of my critiques, another user raised several concerns about the content on the page and requested to take over the review. As I learn more from active participation, I politely declined the offer. I believe the article can be improved through discussion with both the nominator and the other user.

What options do I have? --LeónGonsalvesofGoa (talk) 02:31, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

LeónGonsalvesofGoa if I were in your position, I might try to work with the nominator to improve the article, thus learning about the article creation process. Or I might try to go through Good article mentorship and learn how to review GAs. There are a lot of options here. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 14:19, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from OfficialMonicaSan (22:59, 14 August 2024)

Hello Id like to make a Misplaced Pages page or article? How do I start --OfficialMonicaSan (talk) 22:59, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

OfficialMonicaSan Note that creating new articles is not beginner friendly, so I really recommend you start with simpler edits, such as those suggested at your newcomer homepage, and work from there. If you really want to continue, try taking a look at Your First Article - it's the most beginner friendly guide to creating new articles. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 14:17, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Sgithi (21:49, 15 August 2024)

How do I create content --Sgithi (talk) 21:49, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Sgithi, if you mean creating an article, please look at my reply to the question just above. In a more general sense, all article content should follow the basic rules at Your First Article, so you might want to read it anyways. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 22:15, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Georgebrown5566 (22:04, 21 August 2024)

Hi! I stumbled across the page Shirley Ho and it seemed like a self-promotional page (WP:RESUME). It only mentions papers from the author's personal websites / affiliations, and the awards mentioned do not seem relevant enough to warrant academic notoriety. The deletion discussion also revealed a possible conflict of interest / autobiography (the page was largely edited by a user with no other activity, and it has been created and deleted in the past). Did I use the correct procedure for AfD, or should one add additional tags to the discussion / main page? --Georgebrown5566 (talk) 22:04, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Georgebrown5566 AfD is for situations where notability is unclear, and this is a perfect example. The fact the page was created by a single purpose account would make me consider nominating too. You're doing much better than my first AfD, at least. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 22:12, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

Great, thanks! Should one advertise it somewhere else or is the automatic listing in the deletion lists enough? Georgebrown5566 (talk) 07:23, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Georgebrown5566 automatic listing is enough. It should only be advertised if it is a hugely consequential RFC or proposal, and you also need to be especially wary of canvassing. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 14:30, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Fair enough! Thanks for the help Georgebrown5566 (talk) 15:10, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from John TF Nash (15:32, 23 August 2024)

Hi,

I want to set up a page for an organisation I am a member of. Can I do this from my account or do I need to set up an account for that page?

Thanks --John TF Nash (talk) 15:32, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

John TF Nash I think you may have a misconception about Misplaced Pages. A Misplaced Pages article about an organization is not created by the organization itself or its members, it is created by an uninvolved person who noticed that the organization was notable and deserves a Misplaced Pages article.

You are highly discouraged from creating or modifying any articles that you are related to, because it is hard to stay neutral and encyclopedic. If you really want to continue, read Misplaced Pages:Your first article, especially "Are you connected to the article topic?" which will give appropriate guidance.

Question from Knowing Wizard (14:17, 1 September 2024)

Hi, how can I add photos to a paragraph? --Knowing Wizard (talk) 14:17, 1 September 2024 (UTC)

Knowing Wizard if the image you are trying to add is not uploaded, see WP:File upload wizard. Note the restrictions on file uploads are very strict to comply with CC-BY-SA. Once it is uploaded see Help:Images to insert it on the page. Hope this helps. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 13:36, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
