Question from Sng Uzzi (19:01, 4 June 2022)
Hello, how can I create a biography? --Sng Uzzi (talk) 19:01, 4 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Sng Uzzi, please first skim through WP:1st as it provides useful information on creating your first article. Additional considerations apply if the article is about a living person. What subject are you writing about? Feel free to post questions below or ask for help when you get stuck. Happy editing! Justiyaya 19:18, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Question from Saymyname690 (17:37, 6 June 2022)
Hii When I can edit lock page --Saymyname690 (talk) 17:37, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Saymyname690, you might want to make an WP:edit request for that. I've looked through your contributions and revered some of them because they contained errors related to WP:NPOV and WP:Tone. Every beginner makes these mistakes when they are starting out. It would help your editing a lot if you went through WP:Introduction or The Wikipedia Adventure for a more interactive experience. Justiyaya 17:45, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Saymyname690 Regarding the edit request, feel free to post here and I'll make the changes for you if you don't want to go through the process. I've also left a welcome message on your talk page that might help. Thanks for being bold with your first few edits :D Justiyaya 17:49, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
Question from Bhatiaji1696 (09:42, 9 June 2022)
How write a good article --Bhatiaji1696 (talk) 09:43, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Bhatiaji1696, see WP:1st if you want to write a new article. Writing a new article can be extremely difficult for beginners so perhaps choosing another WP:Task to do here would be best. Justiyaya 10:00, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
Question from Expansionlead (15:38, 10 June 2022)
what are semi protected pages --Expansionlead (talk) 15:38, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
Question from Expansionlead (15:39, 10 June 2022)
hello how can i edit semi protected pages --Expansionlead (talk) 15:40, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Expansionlead, welcome to Wikipedia! Semi-protected pages are pages that new users (and unregistered users) cannot edit, usually because of persistent disruption. If you want to make changes to a semi-protected page, feel free to post the changes you want to make and the page you want it to be made on below and I'll do it for you. Alternatively, you can file an edit request but that process might take a while due to backlog. Justiyaya 17:20, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
- I want to edit a photo on one of the pages in WIKIPEDIA Its is not accurate Expansionlead (talk) 15:55, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Expansionlead What photo (on what article and exactly which one)? Why is it not accurate? Justiyaya 16:32, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
DYK for Topical Dancer
On 14 June 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Topical Dancer, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the album Topical Dancer was created using four different languages? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Topical Dancer. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Topical Dancer), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
Please see my addition to the Desc. for Bertrand Cantat
Thanks for your years of service to our encyclopedia! The death of Marie Trintignant & Cantat’s responsibility are clearly notable — & controversial! After reading the Article, the Talk, a bit of a major Ref, and some of the recent edits, it seemed like a good fit to add it to the ShortDesc. But it seems bound to trigger a reversion by someone; if that is you, I will not object. BUT the reverse also, please: if you think it’s a reasonable solution, I would appreciate your keeping track of this BLP skirmish and weighing in as appropriate. Thanks for your consideration! Left Central (talk) 19:20, 17 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Left Central, thanks for leaving a message on my talk page. Although I'm not quite sure why you decided to ask this on my talk page. I'm assuming that you are talking about Special:Diff/1093613739. I'm personally not very familiar with this but my opinion is that "convicted murderer" should not be included, but the rest of the edit looks good. While the death of Marie Trintignant received significant coverage, I believe simplifying the subject to "convinced murder" would leave out the circumstances that surrounds it. Short descriptions should also be generally under 40 characters long. The short description currently is 50 characters, and because the subject is primarly notable for being a musician, he being a convicted murder should be removed from the short description to shorten it. I won't say that the article is involved in skirmishes as I haven't found much edits in the article in the past year nor talk page messages that may suggest so. If you do agree with my points, feel free to leave a message below and I'll change it. If you disagree, leave a message below explaining why. Thanks for your contributions and for reaching out. Happy editing! Justiyaya 06:39, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks so much! I have little time today and so l need to be crisp. First, I selected you because you are a senior editor who had corrected one obvious improper edit substituting “murderer“ for musician. I agree that the word skirmish in my note is incorrect. It is not a RECENT nasty battle among editors, unlike some other things I have noticed of late. (One example would be “Odessa“ versus Odesa, where rudeness has happened— I’ve stayed out of that: WAY above my pay grade, if you will forgive my using that as a bit of a joke.) Second, I had not studied WP:Description. My bad, and going through that very carefully was quite helpful. Thanks for that, and the alert to 40 being the ideal character count (out of the 90 theoretically permitted). I always work hard on tightening and will be especially cautious on that for Descriptions. Third, I read several more References. As a result of all this, I have come to two opinions: 1) The Article itself needs work. Different Refs use differing terminology on Cantat’s crime. I think our encyclopedia has a BLP problem here, with more research into additional RS’s needed — probably including someone who reads Lithuanian at level 5. 2) This is Notable BLP stuff, I firmly believe now, but controversial and difficult. The suicide of his wife, with allegations beforehand, is especially important in the context of Marie Trintignant’s death. SO: I think it clearly fits into Description-level presentation, but “murderer” was the wrong word. I have therefore changed that to “killer” — which keeps the issue in the correct NPOV perspective, I believe, and is factually correct without ambiguity. (It also cuts 2 characters, which helps a smidgen.) Thanks again (!!!) for taking your time to help me learn and grow as a new editor; I focus heavily on copy editing as my best expertise, and I expect that will be the case for me for a long time to come. (Yesterday, for example, I saw many problems and several opportunities in the Article “J. Michael Luttig,” who spoke to several million people in testifying to the January 6 Select Committee. Since that was getting very high 🌎🌍🌏 readership, I rearranged my schedule so that I could do a fairly thorough copy edit of that article and contributed 10 edits, ranging from trivial to complex and important [I fixed one major error]. That is by far my most intense set of Wikipedia time contributions to date.) Again, thanks for moving me along! Left Central (talk) 21:04, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
- Oh, whom should I alert to the inconsistencies in References on Contat’s crime? I do believe that should be investigated and fixed, to eliminate BLP liability. Thx! Left Central (talk) 21:12, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
- I've (partially) reverted to the version I prefer because the new version sounds more unencyclopdic. I don't think your changes adequately addressed the concerns above but is not really worth debating. Regarding the inconsistencies, best to mention them on the article's talk page. Justiyaya 09:01, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- My contribution is reverted. So I give an link of the HK01, which also reported the Chinese Wikipedia. I will provide the translation later.

--Beta Lohman※Office box 16:05, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- Sure @Beta Lohman, but I think it's also important to consider audience here, out of the entire press coverage list, (from a cursory glance) there are two non-English sources (including the one you've added) and the articles you linked really doesn't apply much to English Wikipedia. Anyways, please also see the template under the bold "Foreign-language coverage" heading in the section Wikipedia:Press coverage#Adding entries to a page. Justiyaya 16:45, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- I would also like to note that the initial revert was due to the linked article being user generated and not really press coverage. Anyways, thank you for you contributions, happy editing and have a great day :D Justiyaya 16:50, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- What? I gave the link HK01 just now, and told that I was translating. But you're going to end the dialogue now? I haven't finished yet. --Beta Lohman※Office box 16:55, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- So you take the link or don't take? And one more thing, I don't quite agree the part of considering audience. This page is for reading mostly users on Wikipedia. I added the links. That was also because of the same page in 2021. It also mentioned the Chinese Wikipedia. --Beta Lohman※Office box 17:01, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Beta Lohman Your edits towards the Wikipedia:Press coverage 2022 does not need to be approved by anyone, being bold is encouraged. Feel free to add the source in the article directly.
- It is my opinion that non-English sources or articles covering Wikipedias in other languages should be minimal in WP:Press based on it's usefulness to its audience. The same page in 2021 that you linked has (again, at a cursory glance) zero non-English sources.
- If you still want to add the link to the page, feel free to simply do so, I do not think it's worth debating over and if someone else objects, they'd engage in WP:BRD. If you want me to, I'd gladly help with the translation of the heading. Justiyaya 17:35, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- My opinion in the beginning was (is) to translate the titles of the news. But I see you SAID have a great day. I thought that was a hint you're going to end the topic. --Beta Lohman※Office box 17:49, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- Go on, it shall be only English at the page. News about Chinese Wikipedia should be at another page of the Chinese version. But I see the some news also reported things about Chinese Wikipedia at the page in 2021. That was why I added links on there. I will find another way to keep or delete. --Beta Lohman※Office box 17:53, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
- Again, I demand to remove my name on the edit summary. --Beta Lohman※Office box 19:48, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
- please read revision deletion and criteria for redaction, though I would not advise that you request it as while technically possible, the request would likely not be pursuant to policy Justiyaya 04:02, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- You made this trouble. How could you just say "advising"? No matter how the guideline is, you always have to do apply for deletion. --Beta Lohman※Office box 22:12, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- You have no control over the edit summaries of other Wikipedians. ––FormalDude talk 22:27, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- please read revision deletion and criteria for redaction, though I would not advise that you request it as while technically possible, the request would likely not be pursuant to policy Justiyaya 04:02, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- This is Justiyaya's mistake. I asked him to remove the name of the edit summary, which is also not a control or something, but a delete permission for admin actions. I followed the privacy request to remove it. Also, if you don't understand the course of events, I don't think you're in a position to intervene in this matter.--Beta Lohman※Office box 00:11, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Beta Lohman: Your username is not private. ––FormalDude talk 00:23, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- I have a valid reason to request removal. I'm not going to take your word for this. --Beta Lohman※Office box 00:30, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- No, you do not have a valid reason, and I suggest you stop pursuing the matter. ––FormalDude talk 00:30, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- I have a valid reason to request removal. I'm not going to take your word for this. --Beta Lohman※Office box 00:30, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Beta Lohman: Your username is not private. ––FormalDude talk 00:23, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Beta Lohman, I do need to make clear that there's no reason for another user to remove something from an edit summary unless it's actually grossly damaging to Wikipedia or its reputation, or poses a real-life threat to someone else - see WP:CRD as listed above by Justiyaya. Simply stating a user or IP address in a reversion edit summary is routine practice.
- Your username is not at all private as said by FormalDude; your privacy is not in danger. Justiyaya made no mistake and RevDel criteria don't apply here. Admins would therefore not consider such requests. I understand I'm not directly involved in this discussion, and please do forgive me for so rudely butting in, but we do need you to understand the matter here. Thanks, Liamyangll (talk to me!) 11:48, 24 June 2022 (UTC) (talk page watcher)

- @Justiyaya: Why didn't you respond further? I see you're so impolite. --Beta Lohman※Office box 19:25, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- My talk page stalkers already did, I would've said what is basically the same thing. Justiyaya 20:46, 24 June 2022 (UTC)
- Beta Lohman, apart from avoiding redundancy, Justiyaya has no obligation to reply to you (see WP:VOLUNTEER). Please refrain from making personal attacks; see talk page guidelines. Liamyangll (talk to me!) 02:10, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
- That's not the proper attitude. Assume someone could call one's name in the edit summary by adding he's a scum or something, there would be no need to delete it? Besides, about obligation. Anyone should answer in a talk page, it's a matter of basic politeness. --Beta Lohman※Office box 02:15, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
- Even personal attacks aren't usually RevDel'd unless it was grossly inappropriate. The policy page states that
RevisionDelete should not be used without prior clear consensus for "ordinary" incivility, attacks, or claims of editorial misconduct.
Your name was merely stated without further comment about you; there's no reason to delete it. I do agree that users should strive to respond timely on talk pages, but you really aren't obligated to do so if you don't want to. Liamyangll (talk to me!) 02:30, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

Question from Lf2000adp (23:48, 26 June 2022)
Why do my edits get deleted or taken down --Lf2000adp (talk) 23:48, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Lf2000adp Your edits are very clearly vandalism, if you wish to contribute positively to Wikipedia, please go through WP:Introduction and choose a task at our task center. Justiyaya 06:17, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi, I am the translator of Deportation of Chinese in the Soviet Union, which is now under deletion review due to User:折毛's hoax. Although the English version differed from the Chinese version created by 折毛 from the very beginning, it contained English translation of the Chinese content created by 折毛. To eliminate the impact of her content, I have validated the sources and removed all sources if they are unverifiable. Also, I have added new content backed by new reliable sources. I am thankful for your participation in the previous discussion of the deletion review, but now that the deletion review is not being relisted, I am not sure whether you might want to take a look at the new, mostly re-written, and validated version of the article and express your opinion in the deletion review. I will be most grateful to your further comment regarding any potential improvement of the article and regarding your decision in the deletion review.

Question from Malaysian Forest Chronicler (15:01, 29 June 2022)
Hi Justiyaya, I have been asked to create a page for some history of a local Forest Reserve in our city, and community actions to ensure its preservation. We have quite a lot of source material, and the Forest Reserve has been reported on by government, research, media, and the local community over a number of years. I would like to create a page for this reserve. --Malaysian Forest Chronicler (talk) 15:01, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Malaysian Forest Chronicler, thanks for asking a question and welcome to Wikipedia. It seems like you might have a conflict of interest with the subject. Please first go through Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide as it provides quite a good explanation of the basic policies surrounding such. Afterwards, please skim through Help:Your first article and optionally, go through our WP:Introduction. Help:Your first article goes through basic policies about writing new articles and WP:Introduction gives a more in depth look at our policies and guidelines. Please skim through the notability guideline for organizations and make sure the your organization satisfies that guideline. Finally, start a draft using our Wikipedia:Article_wizard, it runs through important guidelines (again) and guides you to creating a draft article. When you are ready, submit the draft and a reviewer will look at it and decide to publish or send it back to you for feedback. Feel free to ask any additional questions here. Justiyaya 15:22, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks for the prompt reply Justiyaya.
- I have read the conflict of interest material. Can you please explain further why we might have a conflict of interest? I am helping out a community non profit organisation. But our intention is not to write about that organisation directly. Over the decades, many people have acted to use and protect the forest area as a reserve. Initially government people formed and managed the reserve, and later local community people have sought to ensure its retention and preservation as a forest reserve. Some of these are individuals, and some belong to community non profit groups.
- Our goal is to provide an encyclopaedic resource of material about the forest reserve, including its natural resources and landscape, the community sectors that use the area, and also the actions that have been taken over decades to preserve the forest as a reserve.
- Regarding notability, the Forest Reserve has been reported on by government, research, media, and the local community over a number of years. It is a widely used community resource, used by many people for recreation, part of the reserve provides urban water supply catchment, and another part hosts a botanic gardens. The land is a gazetted forest reserve under the State Government, and provides a resource for the wider community.
- Thanks for your time on this, MFC Malaysian Forest Chronicler (talk) 15:45, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Malaysian Forest Chronicler What is the title of the page you intend to write? What are you referring to when you say "we"? If you are being paid in any way by the organization you are writing an article for, that is paid editing and needs to be disclosed. If you are not paid, it is extremely likely that you hold an external relationship that may undermine "furthering the interests of the encyclopedia" outlined on WP:EXTERNALREL, and you are expected (not required) to disclose it. This section gives quite clear guidance on disclosing conflicts of interests. If you are sure that your organization meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines, you can move on to the next step, after you have either disclosed a conflict of interest or concluded that you don't have one that needs to be disclosed. Justiyaya 17:03, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Justiyaya, Thank you for your reply.
- I appreciate the importance of the wikipedia support pages, and have tried to explore them. It is quite extensive, and indicates Wikipedia's values, which we support. However, while we are clear about our integrity in this matter, in the end, the decision to publish will rest with Wikipedia. We wish to be sure that our work, which will be quite time consuming, is able to be published in the end. The support pages do give guidance, but in the end we are left uncertain about how Wikipedia will interpret our position.
- I have included some background which may answer your queries. I initially thought we would be required to provide this information when lodging the page for review. I would appreciate your candor if you consider our use of Wikipedia is likely to be inappropriate.
- Our page is to be about Bukit Cherakah Forest Reserve (BCFR) (Cherakah Hill Forest Reserve) in Kuala Lumpur. BCFR began as a 20,000 acre forest reserve, and is now 1,000 acres. But it remains a significant part of the urban landscape, and community recreation areas.
- Shah Alam Community Forest Society (SACFS), is an NGO that was established in about 2016, to try and prevent the loss (by the government) of a part of the Forest Reserve, which they call Shah Alam Community Forest (SACF). So this is an advocacy group, advocacy to the community about forest values, and advocacy to the government about the benefits of retaining this part of the forest. The remainder of BCFR is not threatened, being partly water supply catchment for a dam, and partly botanic gardens. SACFS has been partly funded by UNDP (United Nations Development Fund) to further their work, mainly through hiring people and supporting volunteers in studying the forest, and for advocacy.
- As part of its research, SACFS has uncovered early historical materials, government reports, and previous studies undertaken. To this they have added survey results from wildlife, flora and landscape studies of the forest organised by SACFS. Many of these materials required significant effort, largely by volunteers, to locate and understand. Though government materials are public documents, they are often difficult to obtain.
- As there is no other repository of information on BCFR, SACFS considered it worthy to produce an encyclopaedic record, and bibliography, based on these materials from the public record, to ensure the knowledge is retained for future reference. It is possible that in a few years time SACFS no longer exists. Perhaps SACF will not exist either. Naturally Wikipedia came to SACFS' mind, as they wish to produce a reputable inventory of knowledge about BCFR. It is not intended to produce an advocacy piece - that has been done in other avenues.
- I am to be paid a fee for my work, though at community worker rates.
- In the past I have done paid and volunteer work for SACFS, mostly in providing maps of the forest, its trails and terrain, to understand the landscape, and to assist ecological field surveys.
- Apart from payment for this job, and for recent mapping work, my relationship with SACFS, and BCFR is of a professional cartographer and landscape ecologist, who studies urban forest patches, teaches about their values, and uses them to teach environmental science, and advocates for their retention as community assets. To this end, I support the work of SACFS.
- Thank you for your time on this matter. I appreciate that you are also probably acting in a voluntary capacity. Malaysian Forest Chronicler (talk) 21:00, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Malaysian Forest Chronicler Thanks for writing all that, whether Wikipedia would accept your article mainly comes down to having multiple independent, reliable secondary sources providing significant coverage to the organization you are writing for. Wikipedia is interested in what the reliable secondary sources say about the organization, not really what the organization says about themselves.
- It appears that you have already started a draft at User:Malaysian Forest Chronicler/sandbox, it's sometimes helpful to look at articles for similar organizations when writing. After you have written a draft, a reviewer will look at it and decide to publish it or not. Please keep the use of primary sources (sources written by your organization) at a minimum and rely primary on secondary sources (sources written by independent news organizations). At this point it is probably best that you write the article, submit, and wait for feedback if you believe the subject is notable.
- You only needed to disclose if you are being paid to edit (which you are), and who paid you to do so. Putting this template on your userpage would be sufficient:
{{paid|employer=Bukit Cherakah Forest Reserve (or if another organization paid you, replace this with that organization)}}
- Good luck on writing your article, feel free to ask additional questions here. Justiyaya 03:40, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
