Wikipedia Help Survey

Hi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Wikipedia's help system. At the moment I'm trying to learn more about how people use and find the current help pages. If you could help by filling out this brief survey about your experiences, I'd be very grateful. It should take less than 10 minutes, and your responses will not be tied to your username in any way.

Thank you for your time,

Alright..I will do that. Irfanshaharuddin (talk) 08:44, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

In response to your feedback

I'm sorry the notes on the article made you sad. There's a couple of reasons why we prefer articles to reference reliable secondary sources. Firstly, primary sources or sources affiliated to the subject are more likely to contain bias and less likely to contain a balanced point of view which Wikipedia seeks to maintain. Secondly, the existence of secondary sources about the subject helps to demonstrate that the topic is noteworthy. If nobody who isn't affiliated with the subject has written about that subject, then chances are that nobody not affiliated with that subject would want to read about it either, so the article isn't noteworthy enough to warrant its own article on Wikipedia. In order to add some references to the article, why not try running a Google search for it and see what comes up? Or read more on the links given in the notices on the article.

Don't be discouraged. These notices are given to help improve articles, not to shut them down. Keep trying and maybe you will produce an excellent article.

"Roses"

Please tell me why you think the name of the next album will be "Roses". People keep adding that, and I have to keep taking it out because no one can provide a source.—Kww(talk) 15:14, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

I just saw the information through this: http://www.quickfelt.info/2012/12/selena-gomez-scene-roses-album.html. Irfanshaharuddin (talk) 02:17, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks ... at least I know where the hoax is coming from. Quickfelt.info is not a reliable source of information. Please don't add any information from it to any Wikipedia articles.—Kww(talk) 04:53, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Alright. Thanks for your advice and I wouldn't do that anymore. Irfanshaharuddin (talk) 13:41, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 24

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Era FM, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Taiping (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Okay. Thank you for noticing my edits. I will fix it as soon as possible. What I mean for that page is Taiping, Perak. Irfanshaharuddin (talk) 13:37, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi there

Hello Irfanshaharudin,

I noticed this edit of yours and wanted to mention that it ends up being in an archive of that users actual talk. Perhaps User talk:28bytes is the page you were looking for? — Ched :  ?  13:28, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Irfanshaharudin. I suggest putting in a request at WP:Requests for page protection; the folks there handle such requests regularly. 28bytes (talk) 13:37, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Yes, that is what I mean. Thanks for informing me. I will request in there later. Irfanshaharuddin (talk) 15:14, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Your userpage here

Hi Irfan, I just fixed some grammar and sentence errors on your userpage. Feel free to check and fix any factual errors that I may have accidentally changed. Cheers. Arctic Kangaroo 10:24, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
