philosophy promoted to GA

[edit]

My co-nominator @Phlsph7 and I recently brought philosophy up to GA status. I only just learned about the Reward Board in this context, and I think it's a great initiative. I'm sure we would both be flattered by any Barnstars awarded!

Administrators' newsletter – September 2023

[edit]

News and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2023).

Guideline and policy news

  • Following an RfC, TFAs will be automatically semi-protected the day before it is on the main page and through the day after.
  • A discussion at WP:VPP about revision deletion and oversight for dead names found that [s]ysops can choose to use revdel if, in their view, it's the right tool for this situation, and they need not default to oversight. But oversight could well be right where there's a particularly high risk to the person. Use your judgment.

Technical news

Arbitration

  • The SmallCat dispute case has closed. As part of the final decision, editors participating in XfD have been reminded to be careful about forming local consensus which may or may not reflect the broader community consensus. Regular closers of XfD forums were also encouraged to note when broader community discussion, or changes to policies and guidelines, would be helpful.

Miscellaneous

  • Tech tip: The "Browse history interactively" banner shown at the top of Special:Diff can be used to easily look through a history, assemble composite diffs, or find out what archive something wound up in.

Progress report: As of 14:29, 9 September 2023 (UTC), GOCE copy editors have processed 245 requests since 1 January. The backlog of tagged articles stands at 2,066.

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Hi

[edit]

Hi there, Person who loves reading. You are quite the role model who I look up to. I want to contribute to the community and the make sure the information it receives is true and trustable. You do just that, and so I admire you. Whenever people do research, it's always, "oh, don't use Wikipedia! It's not a trustable website!". Well, I want to change that. After all, students always look to Wikipedia for their everyday casual learning. I can't make a difference without your help. That is why I am writing to you, Person who loves reading. Thanks for taking the time to read. 71.174.239.247 (talk) 21:03, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Making sure the information on Wikipedia is true and trustable is always a primary goal for Wikipedia editors, since Wikipedia is intended to provide reliable and true knowledge to people. Contributing to Wikipedia is an easy task to do if you want to do copyedit and add links, but it is a little hard for new editors to directly edit information on Wikipedia, because you will need to provide reliable, secondary, independent sources for your changes. You can ask any questions about contributing to Wikipedia on Wikipedia: Teahouse or to experienced editors. The person who loves reading (talk) 23:02, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Chidile (22:38, 28 December 2023)

[edit]

Hello How do I start an Article here on Wikipedia? --Chidile (talk) 22:38, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Writing an article on Wikipedia is a complicated process that requires thorough understanding of policies and guidelines in Wikipedia. My suggestion is that you can make some simple edits and then slowly progress through more difficult tasks. You can read Help:Getting started for more information on how to edit here.
However, if you still want to write an article on Wikipedia, you are encouraged to read through Help:Your first article carefully to avoid any major mistakes. Here are some very important steps:
  1. Do you have a conflict of interest with the subject of the article? If so, choose another topic to write on. Disclose any paid editing on your user page if needed.
  2. Is your topic suitable for inclusion on Wikipedia? Read through Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not to see what should not be included on Wikipedia.
  3. Is the topic notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia? You can read through Wikipedia:Notability for general article inclusion criteria on Wikipedia. The general notability criteria is very important because it is very often used in articles for deletion discussions that can determine whether a topic is notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia. There are also many notability guidelines for specified topics.
  4. Do you have enough reliable sources? All content on Wikipedia should be supported by reliable sources (usually secondary sources). Make sure your content is verifiable.
  5. Is your article neutral? Make sure your article is unbiased and not promotional.
  6. Is your article about living people? If so, please read through Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons to see any additional restrictions.
  7. Does your article contain original research? No original research is allowed on Wikipedia.
  8. Does your article contain grammar errors? Fix them if possible.
You are encouraged to create an article in the draft namespace through Wikipedia:Article wizard. Please note that draft articles are deleted after 6 months if no edits have been made.
After you have many reliable sources to support your article, and you believe that it's suitable for inclusion on Wikipedia, submit your draft for review, and a reviewer will accept or decline the draft and give additional suggestions on how to make improvements.
I hope that you will find editing on Wikipedia enjoyable. If you have any questions, you can post here again. The person who loves reading (talk) 23:43, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and welcome to the April 2024 newsletter, a quarterly digest of Guild activities since December. Don't forget you can unsubscribe at any time; see below. We extend a warm welcome to all of our new members. We wish you all happy copy-editing.

Election results: In our December 2023 coordinator election, Zippybonzo stepped down as coordinator; we thank them for their service.
