Request for Preliminary Review of Revised "Cyber Privacy" Draft
Hello User:CanonNi
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request a preliminary review of my draft article Draft:Cyber_privacy before resubmitting it for approval.
In response to the feedback provided, I have thoroughly revised the content to ensure that the sources cited are robust, reliable, and offer perspectives from various aspects of the topic. These revisions aim to create a balanced and neutral perspective, incorporating sources that are either directly relevant to the term 'cyber privacy'—explicitly mentioned in the text—or that contribute to the topic's understanding within the context of its provided definition. My goal is to ensure that the draft meets Wikipedia’s requirements for notability and verifiability.
I would greatly appreciate your expert opinion on whether this iteration sufficiently addresses the concerns raised, particularly regarding the coverage and independent verification of the term "cyber privacy."
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to any guidance you can offer for further improvements.

Hello
I'm really happy to have you as a mentor. please what are the things i need to know to have a successful publication? --Odoyin (talk) 20:41, 4 August 2024 (UTC)
@Stuka535 are you asking if I could write the article? Sorry, but as I have no knowledge nor interest in CRT monitors, I cannot write the article. Is there anything specific you need help with? '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs)00:48, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
@Stuka535 Do you mean sections?, If yes then here's how you can make different sections. The same thing that I asked to CanonNi and he explained me in a simple way.
== Example ==
By the use of two equal to signs, you can easily make up sections. Basically, it's used for Reference and External links. Regards, Ved SharmaKharavela Deva (talk) 14:24, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
Hello! I would like to edit an article and would also like to supply my own picture but as I am now I am unsure of how to do this. I am using mobile. Thank you. --Lamanopeluda (talk) 18:43, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
I am trying to edit my husband's bio page with his death date and some brief biographical edits. I haven't hit "publish" yet because I don't think I formatted the footnote/references properly. --M.A. Carlebach (talk) 21:54, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
Okay, rather than edit it myself, I'll forward the references here. Or there is also the option that I can ask a professor in the field of journalism to write something on the significance of Michael's first history of photojournalism, "The Origins of Photojournalism in America" which he was too modest to do himself. I can also provide images of his photographs or from his books.
Here (attached below) is the (not very well-written) obit from the Miami Herald, and a better, more detailed one from the University of Miami newspaper. I have copies of book reviews which I scanned but am unable to attach here. Let me know if I can send them another way. The reviews are from: Publishers Weekly (14 Sept,1992), Journalism Quarterly (Summer, 1993), News Photographer (vol. 49, no.7,July, 1994. 12), The Los Angeles Times (25 Oct, 1992), Brown Alumni Monthly) (n.d.).
In addition to the addition of his death date and some minor corrections on his resume, this is what I proposed to add in the edit:
As a historian Carlebach's book, The Origins of Photojournalism in America, was considered seminal as one of the first histories on the earliest years of news photography in the U.S. It became a standard text in the field. Carlebach argued that periodical publications in the United States began supplementing print journalism with photographs by converting them to engravings or woodcuts long before the half-tone printing process was invented which allowed the mass reproduction of photographs.
Hi CanonNi. Thank you any and all advice, etc! Although I'm new to Wikipedia editing, I've read many, many articles and I'm an expert in my scientific field. I've just drafted a new article about Paul Sniegowski, who recently became the President of Earlham College. I think my article fulfills everything expected of a biography of a living person. One thing that I could use help on is how to add the box that gives information about a scholar (education, positions, mentors, and the like), typically seen on the right of the entry. Thanks again! --Factsnfigurestoo (talk) 17:13, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
Just submitted my second article, also a biography in my area of expertise. This one is Draft:Jeffrey Barrick. Again, many internal links to Wikipedia entries as well as external references to verify factual statements. I'll update the categories once the article is approved. (Seems like categories can't be added until then, except for automated ones labeled draft, pending, AfC, and the like.) Factsnfigurestoo (talk) 01:53, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Question from Evgeny U-gin (14:06, 27 August 2024)
Good afternoon!
I’m quite new to Wikipedia.
Recently I have made discovery and realized that Wikipedia have no evidence of thing which I have discovered.
I would like to share my discovery with the world.
What steps should I follow to publish it?
