Question from JWHBurns (09:29, 3 December 2024)

Hi - I'm looking to see if my article about Brian Woulfe has now been published? Can you help? --JWHBurns (talk) 09:29, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@JWHBurns sorry for the late reply. Looks like it's still at Draft:Brian Woulfe; you may want to address the reviewer feedback and resubmit. If it's published it'll be at Brian Woulfe - you'll see that red link turn blue. Rusalkii (talk) 00:35, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Ted Baudoin (09:59, 5 December 2024)

Hi, I'm Ted. I work as a language teacher, but I'm a translator for German, French and Dutch and also master English and Italian. My main goal is to translate the articles into as many languages as possible, as I repeatedly find that one is often forced to work through third languages to get some information. Also, many of my pupils and students use Wikipedia regularly and this translation work could be another help on my part. At the moment I am trying to get the new Wikipedia translation tool to work without success. Is it possible to translate without using the tool? --Ted Baudoin (talk) 09:59, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the tool is entirely optional, it just provides a little structure. You can edit the article directly without the tool the normal way, just make sure you attribute the source of the translation in your edit summary. Rusalkii (talk) 03:43, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from S1mply.Dogmom (00:03, 12 December 2024)

Hello Friend! I have run into an editor who I believe is adding information about themselves, or someone they're close to, to articles. The articles are: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colombian_peace_process and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Museum_of_India The editor is Sastoqueart. Citations are provided, but the connection is relatively obvious. I don't think where the information was added was appropriate either. I would like to address the issue, but I'm not confident in how to go about it. I've read the COI article but I'm still unsure what steps to take first in this case. Would you be able to help me? Thank you! --S1mply.dogmom (talk) 00:03, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oof, good catch. For a first attempt, I would revert the edits and then leave the editor a message explaining the COI policy, why you reverted them, and that they should use the WP:edit request process if they'd like to try to get the edits reinstated. If they continue after one warning, try leaving a message describing the problem at WP:COIN. Rusalkii (talk) 02:02, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Great, thank you! I did as you said. I'm completely open to criticism so feel free to review my removal notes and my note on the user talk page and offer any guidance or tips! Have a great rest of your day! S1mply.dogmom (talk) 17:00, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question re: Steven Grinspoon

Hi Rusalkii - You may be taking a break from COI requests at the moment, but I wanted to ask if you would mind taking a look a the next round of edits to Dr. Grinspoon's page since you reviewed the first. Thanks very much for your time and efforts! Talk:Steven Grinspoon#Edits for November 2024 Brucemyboy1212 (talk) 16:53, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Wrangler1981 (20:47, 15 December 2024)

Hello – I have a question I hope you can help me with. I am trying to get the Daredevil (Marvel Comics character) page to Good Article status. I have nominated it using the typical process, but I was wondering if there was a way to get the attention of experienced editors to review it. I have followed relevant Wikipedia guidelines, and I have various sources available to provide further references to secondary literature, if necessary. Thanks for any advice. --Wrangler1981 (talk) 20:47, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! The GA process often takes a few months, unfortunately. There are some reviewers that preferentially review nominations by editors with a lot of reviews to their name themselves, you may want to take a few reviews yourself, or there's the Wikipedia:Good_article_review_circles which pair you up with three other editors and then you all review in a circle so no one is directly reviewing their reviewer's article. If you're new to reviewing and decide to take that step you may also want to ask for a mentor experienced with the GA process here, I'm happy to help but I haven't done much with it.

Question from Bryanmau1 (19:00, 18 December 2024)

Hi, I made my first edit and I wanted to make sure that I did it the right way and that it looks good.

I am a member of Acts2 Network and noticed the Wikipedia page on it was lacking in information. Furthermore, existing information was incorrect, and so I updated the information while adding a reference. Could you take a look and give me any pointers? Thank you.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Acts2_Network#Updating_Intro_Paragraph --Bryanmau1 (talk) 19:00, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bryanmau1 it looks like you did everything right there, and thank you for working through edit requests when you have a conflict of interest! Rusalkii (talk) 19:56, 24 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am editing some articles as it used to be when it was created but anonymous users are just putting unsourced data and wrong information on it. How can I ban them or just stop them from doing so? --Shaurya Singh Sikarwar (talk) 06:32, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
