Thanks Link to the article : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Hamid_Nangialy_Kabiri --CuriousScribe007 (talk) 13:04, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- Hi CuriousScribe007, welcome to Wikipedia. I think you should find reliable sources for the claims in the article. That way it is more likely to get approved. Kind regards, --Ferien (talk) 20:10, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
Question from 22EBronze (16:54, 26 December 2024)
Hi,
Can you help me figure out how to put in a reference to a website off wikipedia that is already referenced in the article? I want to move the first reference to an earlier part of the article, and not break anything.
The article is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amanda_America_Dickson
The reference is currently listed as 3 (New Georgia Encyclopedia). I want to introduce this reference after my edit at 16:42, 26 December 2024. So after the sentence: "He was the child of an enslaved black woman, Kit, and was ultimately bought by wealthy white John Toomer, who had settled in Houston County, Georgia in the 1850s."
Thank you. I read the article about references, but I don't know about the superscripts a, b, etc. --22EBronze (talk) 16:54, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
- 22EBronze, welcome, excuse my tardy response. In wikitext the reference should appear as
<ref>...</ref>
. You can just move that code within the ref tags to where you want to move it to. If you need to wish to retain the original reference, you should define the reference with a refname, so it can be referred to easier later on. The instructions for that are described at WP:REFNAME. Please do not hesitate to ask if you have any more questions and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Kind regards, --Ferien (talk) 20:14, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
Question from Liyema Shumpa (13:18, 28 December 2024)
About from editing, how do I create my own details? --Liyema Shumpa (talk) 13:18, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Liyema Shumpa, welcome to Wikipedia, you are strongly discouraged from starting articles on yourself. But you can start a userpage with basic details by clicking your username in your signature and writing from there. Kind regards, --Ferien (talk) 20:15, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
Drafting my first article
Hello Ferien,
I want to create a new Wikipedia page. But, as I am connected with the subject matter I am not sure if the article will be accepted. Or, what the best way to go about creating the article. I do have many outside citations to offer. Could you advise me? For your information, the article is about an important program called the Adult Education Center that transformed civil rights in the workplace. Here is a summary:
"The Adult Education Center (AEC) in New Orleans played a critical role in desegregating the professional workforce of the Deep South. From 1965 to 1972, the AEC trained 431 African American women as secretaries, many of whom went on to integrate major corporations and government offices. Despite systemic opposition and multiple shutdowns, the AEC became one of the most successful War on Poverty programs, recognized in national media and the Emmy-winning 1968 documentary The School That Would Not Die. Its graduates helped reshape workplace diversity in the South, making the AEC’s legacy a vital chapter in civil rights and education history. Its legacy continues today in the form of the non-profit scholarship program known as the 431 Exchange."
Thank you for whatever guidance you can give me.
Sincerely, Jeff Geoffray Jeff Geoffray (talk) 00:51, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Jeff Geoffray, welcome to Wikipedia. I do apologise for my delayed response. The best advice I could give you would be to head over to Wikipedia:Requested articles and consider requesting an editor to create it for you there, however there is no guarantee that the article will be created. As stated on that page,
Requested Articles is more like a list of ideas for interested editors to peruse.
Please make an entry there, including the sources that demonstrate notability, and there is a chance the article may be created. Please let me know if you have any questions about this, and I will try my best to help. Thank you, --Ferien (talk) 20:24, 29 January 2025 (UTC)- Thank you for responding. That sounds like good advice. Will try that angle. 66.215.37.145 (talk) 20:50, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

- Soildynamics, welcome to Wikipedia. Agriculture is well-defined and described on this page - I'm not an expert in the sector, so it probably has better information than I could provide. Thank you, --Ferien (talk) 20:19, 29 January 2025 (UTC)
