Question from Phil Ahn (07:58, 28 September 2024)

hi! just getting started. I found that there are many people I wanted to learn more about who don't have wikipedia, but LOTS of media coverage so I thought I'd try to be part of the solution rather than being passive. No real questions other than do you have advice? --Phil Ahn (talk) 07:58, 28 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi Phil Ahn! You might be interested in looking through Help:Introduction, which goes over some of our most important rules and has some good advice. I would recommend working on existing articles first, before trying to write a brand-new article: new editors often find writing new articles from scratch difficult without first becoming familiar with what is expected in Wikipedia articles, including our rules about reliable sources, about when those sources are required, and notability, which deals with what topics should be written about on Wikipedia. Once you are ready, there is a useful help page at Help:Your first article that will guide you through the process, if that is what you are interested in doing.

Thanks. Will do! I'll try to do 30-50 edits on pre-existing articles before I try writing one. Phil Ahn (talk) 00:12, 4 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from I have a great knowledge (15:29, 2 October 2024)

I gave my draft for submission. Can you please review it? Here is the link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:James_Dokhuma --I have a great knowledge (talk) 15:29, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

@I have a great knowledge: I am not an AFC reviewer so cannot, unfortunately. It shouldn't take an especially long time, though. Tollens (talk) 22:03, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

ok. I have a great knowledge (talk) 15:51, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Maithil hoon (15:45, 5 October 2024)

hey how to stop vandalizion on wikipedia by an user --Maithil hoon (talk) 15:45, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi Maithil hoon – I assume this must be related to Mithila (region). I see no vandalism there: vandalism on Wikipedia means a deliberate attempt to damage Wikipedia. It does not appear that any of the editors you disagree with are trying to damage Wikipedia on purpose. You should discuss disputes about article content on the talk page of the article, as I see you are already doing, but you should not edit the disputed content while you are still discussing. Please also be aware that you are not allowed to make three reverts on the same page within 24 hours – this is called the three-revert rule and violations can result in being blocked from editing. I will leave the standard notice with more information on your and the other editor's user talk pages. The talk page discussion so far looks to be calm and reasonable; you should keep working with the other editors to try to resolve your dispute. Tollens (talk) 03:35, 6 October 2024 (UTC)
