Choosing an article to evaluateHi Elysia, I wish to ask if you can help explain to me on how to choose an article to evaluate please. I have an assignment which says "Evaluate Wikipedia" and I don't know where to start. Your help will be very appreciative. Thanks Ignatius Sahmofor Sahmofor (talk) 19:48, 27 January 2019 (UTC)

--Lyricmoonstar (talk) 18:26, 29 January 2019 (UTC) Category linksHello, Elysia, Regarding your response to Sahmofor, here, the category link you meant to add isn't there. (See sentence: "So you could find an article, for example, in. ") I wanted to explain why. When you wish to create a link that opens a Category page, you have to include a colon in front; see WP:LINK#Links to Wikipedia's categories for details. For example: to link to category "Start-Class Technology articles", you code it like this:
and if you leave it unpiped, it will look like this in running text:
If you leave off the colon, it will look like this in running text:
and not only that, it will categorize the Talk page itself, into the category. If you go to User talk:Sahmofor, scroll down, and look at the list of categories at the bottom of the page, you will see that it is categorized in "Start-Class Technology articles". When there's no colon in front, that's what it does. You can fix the link, by just prepending

Thought that you and Ryan might enjoy this.You may well have seen it. https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/best-wikipedia-5-apps-find-weird-interesting-articles/ Thanks for your patience and guidance during my "Fellows" initiation. You taught me far more than I showed. I still plan to pay back and forward in 75 days once retirement and more free time begins. David Simpson Ddscuriousdavid (talk) 18:08, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

Help with Peer ReviewHi Elysia, I'm in one of the courses for which you're a WikiEd staff. I haven't received a peer review on my article (or, rather, the work in my sandbox), and, as a result, don't know how I should improve my work. Do you have any suggestions please? Thanks! Shannip (talk) 18:37, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your comments, and I will be reaching out to my professor regarding peer review! Shannip (talk) 02:35, 20 March 2019 (UTC) Also, regarding your comment that all facts should be cited, the page itself does not have many sources, and I was only able to add sources to what I added. The work in my sandbox includes my additions and edits to the page contents, and there are some parts I didn't touch, but couldn't find sources for. I feel uncomfortable removing the content because it is valid, I just can't find the information. Shannip (talk) 02:40, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
Thank you, Elysia! I will keep this in mind when improving my article. Shannip (talk) 23:19, 26 March 2019 (UTC) A kitten for you!thank you for removing "puffery" on the "healthcare in the united states page" Gdcwd5 (talk) 23:38, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Need help with manual citationsHello! I am a new user and I was having trouble with typing up my manual citations. From what I see, it only gives you the option to input one author, but how can I input multiple authors? Thank you for taking the time to read this. Marieldls (talk) 05:28, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
Need help request from XingranLiu (talk)Hello. I need help with wording in the article (whether the language is appropriate and clear to be public) and any other things you noticed that I can improve. Thank you!
Hello. I need help with... Hi my name's Olivia and I'm trying to upload my paper to the Oculina varicosa page but I just don't know what to do. It's in my sandbox but how do I move it to the article? I'm just confused with the process here. I don't really understand this help page either.. I have to publish it? Just confused Thanks, Olivia
Still a Stub?Hello Elysia! Thank you for welcoming me to Wikipedia! I just had a quick question. I accidently deleted the stub tag on my page for "Gorgasia" for my school project. Our main mission for the assignment was to get a wikipedia page to the point where it was no longer recognized as a stub. I already had one Master Editor review my page and they did not add the stub tag back on but I thought i would ask: do you think that my edits have reclassified this page as no longer a stub or should the stub tag be added back in? -Jwbuzzell — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jwbuzzell (talk • contribs) 16:00, 2 April 2019 (UTC)
Hello. I am trying to move my page out of the sandbox, but am having difficulty posting it. I do not have the 'move' button at the top right of my sandbox so I am unsure of how to post it live.

University of British Columbia/Women in the Economy (Winter II)Hi Elysia - just a note to say that I've been going through all of the articles written for Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/University of British Columbia/Women in the Economy (Winter II), and this is simply the best performance I've seen from a class of new wikipedia editors, probably ever. You & Marina and the students are to be congratulated - about 30 excellent new economist articles. Well done & thanks. If you do another exercise creating lots of women biogs, always worth dropping a note at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women in Red, since there's always a job of doing things like wikidata links, {{Authority control}}, links from other articles, which we can generally help with. --Tagishsimon (talk) 23:44, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
Your Reminder on Potential COIThank you for the reminder about potential COI on editing of Wikipedia page on Marie T. Mora. It is certainly not my intention to create the appearance of a COI. As such, I undid the minor revision I had made to that page (which was adding a link to another Wikipedia page), and I will not make any other edits, regardless of how minor they might be.

New help requestHi, Elysia I need help turning the Atlantic pygmy octopus page from a stub for my class. I added edits to the previous article but wanted to know if I need to fix anything or add more information. I was also unsure if I needed to leave anything on the article's talk page about what I added. Thanks! Ecovelle (talk) 21:00, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
Hello Elysia! I am new to editing on Wikipedia. I am currently trying to add to a page on pangolin trade for my anthropology class. After citing it and moving my information from my sandbox to the article, at first it transferred over the citations with it. But when I looked back on the page a week later there was a "citation needed" area where a few of my citations were listed for one of my sources. Following that, I used one of the sources from a section other than my own but every time I try to cite it (or any other citation) my citation defaults to the 16th citation and will not let me list any other source. Sorry that is kind of confusing.
Need help request from Gabriella A Russo (talk)Hello. I need help with... Condensing my references (some of them repeat) and fixing the image that I inserted so that it will appear in the article correctly.
Need help request from Gabriella A Russo (talk)Hi, thanks for the help. I have manually entered the 5 different journal citations into the reference section. I don't see any "re-use" option in the drop down list for "cite". I tried looking up other ways to fix the in line citations but I'm not having any luck. --Gabriella A Russo (talk) 02:00, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
Thank you!Hi Elysia, thank you very much for your note about my submission for Good Article! Someone responded to my nomination of my article for DYK saying that the best way would be to be accepted for GA and then go from there. Alas, that doesn't seem to be happening, but I really appreciate your support! Shannip (talk) 23:53, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Disease suppressive soilsHi! Did you plan to move Disease suppressive soils back to the sandbox? I've deleted the redirect so as to make that possible. However, if there's any possibility that this might become a viable article, you might prefer to move it to draft space (i.e., at Draft:Disease-suppressive soils – note the necessary hyphen!).

PlagiarismHi Elysia, would you mind taking a look at some material added by one of your students, Special:Contributions/Matthewsgabe? It appears to be plagiarism, with a slightly-reworded version of several pages of material copied from a website. The article is Russian cuisine, and the edit is this one: [1]. It's obviously taken from these web pages:
It looks like in the next edit here: [2] he did try to give a link to the page as a reference (it got reverted for being misformatted), so he wasn't really trying to hide the source. But it's still not acceptable, as it's clearly a close paraphrase and a copyright violation. I've already removed the material from the article. I'll wait a bit for you to take a look, then I'll be requesting revision deletion to redact it from the page history. I thought it might be better for you to follow up with him about it, rather than me talking to him directly. Let me know if I should be talking to someone else instead. Thanks! --IamNotU (talk) 16:47, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
Regarding this edit [3], I am curious as to how you made the determination that a major group of tribes, nearly 30 of them, totaling over 100,000 people, is of low importance to the indigenous peoples of North America WikiProject? Beeblebrox (talk) 17:30, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Creating a key on wikipedia imagesHi Elysia, I am doing a translation of the article https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historia_del_idioma_gallego and the second image has a key that I am having trouble translating. When I copy and translate the code to english the key comes up as #4682B4 + Idioma gallego when i publish it. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this?

I need to change the title of a pageHi Elysia, I just created the page Diffusion-Limited Escape (of Atmospheres). I just realized that the title of the page should not be capitalized after the first word. The title should be "Diffusion-limited escape (of atmospheres)". How should I go about changing the title?

Test messageHello! Leaving you a message. --Ryan (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:04, 12 July 2019 (UTC) Sandbox Edits & PublishedHi Elysia, I made (and saved!) some edits to the intro & career sections of the Marietta Bones article. Please let me know what you think when you have a moment. I am still working on some of the content in my sandbox as well as all sections of the article, minus the intro. I apprecite your feed back! GBJohnston (talk) 19:31, 19 July 2019 (UTC) citationsDear Elysia, thanks for the advice. Regarding the citations, I can not do as instructed. When I open 'edit' then as I have a previous references and I have to put the cursor on the last punctuation/word, opening "Cite" to "Reuse" that reference, it does not happen. I mean the "Cite" does not open so I "Reuse" a reference. Thanks for your help again! −−Fatemeh Saber (talk) 03:12, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
