How do I create my talk page?
editHi, I'm new and someone mentioned creating my talk page. How do I do that? CyclopaediaMyles (talk) 05:32, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
- Hi, @CyclopaediaMyles, and welcome to Wikipedia! You can create your talk page, User talk:CyclopaediaMyles, like any other — after you've navigated to it (you can get to it from any page using the "talk" link in the top right), just click the "create" tab and input what you'd like in the text box. If you'd like to know more about talk pages in general, see Help:Talk pages; if you'd like some details on how to format things in wikitext (Wikpedia's markup language), see Help:Wikitext. Please let me know if you have any further questions! Tol (talk | contribs) @ 03:09, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
- Do I need to use any specific templates or anything like that to create it? CyclopaediaMyles (talk) 18:39, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
- @CyclopaediaMyles: No; there aren't any specific requirements. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 05:47, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Question from Markmccartney2a on User:Markmccartney2a/sandbox (18:24, 13 March 2023)
edithello, can we publish this page publicly? --Markmccartney2a (talk) 18:24, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Markmccartney2a: If you would like to submit this draft to be reviewed, you can add
{{subst:submit}}
to the top of the page, and it will be added to the queue. However, I do not think it's quite ready. The page lacks any citations to independent, reliable sources, and so does not demonstrate that its subject is notable. To do so, you should demonstrate that the subject has received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 05:53, 14 March 2023 (UTC)- if you google it you will see many reliable sources. Eliboom (talk) 09:48, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- Yes Eliboom (talk) 09:49, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Eliboom, I would greatly prefer for you to avoid answering questions from other users on my talk page until you're a bit more experienced yourself. The draft that this user asked about is not ready to be published, and I couldn't find many reliable sources on its subject when I used Google. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 00:39, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
This organization is known around the world and for some reason I couldn't publish the page about it. Will love to get some help to put this page on line.
Eliboom (talk) 09:46, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
- @Eliboom, as I noted in my decline, its two main issues are verifiability and neutrality. For verifiability, I would recommend adding inline citations. It seems like there are some external links in the body of the draft which act as references; please remove the external links and instead add inline citations. For neutrality, please revise the draft to avoid promotional wording; I would also suggest trimming some information which has little encyclopedic value (e.g. that the EJA "is on the Transparency Register of accredited lobbying organisations held by the European Institutions"). Please let me know if you have any further questions! Tol (talk | contribs) @ 00:50, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
Hello, do you still need this sandbox? If you do not need them, can you move Wikipedia:Wikidata/Wikidata Sandbox/Tol to Wikipedia:Wikidata/Wikidata Sandbox 2? As I would like to merge Wikidata Sandbox 2 (Q107267627) to Wikidata Sandbox 2 (Q13406268) due to the fact that Wikipedia:Wikidata/Wikidata Sandbox 3 exists. 132.234.228.73 (talk) 00:28, 21 March 2023 (UTC)
- Done (& merged); sorry for the delay! Tol (talk | contribs) @ 04:25, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
