Hey there how do I add a page on to Wikipedia? --The weekend cafe (talk) 03:14, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@The weekend cafe: Welcome to Wikipedia. I've left you a message on your talk page with a bunch of links. Peruse through them when you get a chance. Make sure that you read the first message from ScrabbleTiles. To answer your question, you should read H:YFA, which will tell you what it takes to start your first article. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:40, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello --M.Sohail Sami (talk) 11:33, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@M.Sohail Sami: Welcome to Wikipedia! I've left a message on your talk page with a bunch of links. Do go through them when you get a chance. I'd recommend that you start with WP:TWA. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 02:53, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Where do I start when it comes to creating a Wikipedia page? --EdinNot (talk) 22:00, 1 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@EdinNot: Welcome to Wikipedia! I see that you've already started on Draft:KARLSON. Please read Help:YFA which is tailor-built for your question. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 02:58, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I'm basically fresh meat here. I'm really into the Super Smash Bros. franchise and noticed there isn't any article in my language (Vietnamese). I'd like to translate some of the articles from English to my native tongue. Do you have any tips for beginners? --Satcill (talk) 09:32, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Satcill: Welcome to Wikipedia. The page you want to read is WP:TRANSLATEUS. Take a look at that page and come back here if you have any questions. I'd recommend that you start by doing some smallish copy edits on the Vietnamese wiki before getting into translation work. Good luck! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 09:38, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

i want to show my details in public --Oorali Band (talk) 09:31, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Oorali Band: Welcome to Wikipedia. I think you are hoping to create a page on Wikipedia for a musical group known as Oorali. If you you'll want to read H:YFA and WP:COI. Happy editing. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 10:09, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, MPGuy2824. I'm just posting to let you know that List of parliamentary constituencies of Zambia – a list that you have been heavily involved with – has been chosen to appear on the Main Page as Today's featured list for April 7. The TFL blurb can be seen here. If you have any thoughts on the selection, please post them on my talk page or at TFL talk. Regards, Giants2008 (Talk) 21:32, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, so i created a category for bolshevik regional forces during the russian civil war and tried adding it into the info box as a link via "Regional forces", but its not working. Is it not possible to create a link within an info box to a category? --BreadStickGuy (talk) 12:28, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@BreakStickGuy: Did you mean this edit? If so then the article Bolshevik Regional Forces During The Russian Civil War doesn't exist, which is why it was showing as a red link in the infobox. The closest page that I can find is Bolshevik forces, which is just a redirect to "Red Army". See if that is good enough to use. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 12:38, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think I see what you were trying to do. You need to use ":Category:" before the category name to include it as text. e.g. Category:Bolshevik Regional Forces During The Russian Civil War. I will warn you that such categories in infoboxes will be frowned upon and I'd guess your edit will be reverted soon. You could start a conversation with other editors on the article talk page and see if there is another solution that folks are fine with. Happy editing. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 12:43, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Will surely start a conversation for this on the talk page. Just wondering though, why are categories frowned upon in info boxes?. In my opinion, its no different to having a link to an article in the info box. BreadStickGuy (talk) 13:36, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know if there is any policy against it, but category pages typically don't have a lot of explanatory text (even though they can) as compared to normal articles (even if they are stubs). -MPGuy2824 (talk) 04:51, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I had a question and that would be: What's your process to make sure a source you are citing isn't biased? --Rizzington (talk) 14:36, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Rizzington:. Welcome to Wikipedia. To answer your question, if the source is popular then you can check the talk page archives at WT:RS to see what other editors think of it. If it is a relatively new website, then you'll have to look at other articles published by them and judge for yourself. If you plan to use the source a lot, then you can also ask by starting a new thread at Wikipedia talk:Reliable sources. Happy editing! -MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:37, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I added 8 citations, some information, and deprodded the stub. If you still want to go to WP:AfD, you are welcome, but the ongoing consensus has been that bishops of major churches are automatically notable. There is a remaining question about his "native" name and how it's spelled; I've seen several variations. Bearian (talk) 15:51, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bearian, my problem wasn't notability but that it was an unreferenced BLP. Now that you've added sources, this is no longer a problem. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 05:32, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
