Question from Dave.W.Simmons (17:35, 4 June 2024)
Hi Nick, can I publish an article I created? --Dave.W.Simmons (talk) 17:35, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Dave.W.Simmons, my name's not Nick (you can call me LEvalyn or L) but I might be able to help. If you want to create an article, you can start the process from here. After you read the introductory advice, you'll see a button that says "Click here to start a new article". Let me know if you have any questions or problems, and happy editing! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 04:45, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
Question from Garforthminer (09:31, 6 June 2024)
Hi there, I run the website and social media for a football club - Garforth Town AFC. The club logo that is shown on Wiki is slightly inncorect and I want to update it. There is a rose in the emblem, but in the uploaded image it is transparent instead of white. I want to upload the image without this transparent rose. Thank you --Garforthminer (talk) 09:31, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Gaforthminer, thanks for getting in touch! Step one is to upload the image here, following the instructions for a non-free image with a fair use rationale. Once the file it uploaded, it can be added to the article— I can help with that part if you need. Let me know if you run into any trouble, and happy editing! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 18:28, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from DanicaShardae201 (20:59, 3 June 2024)
Hello!
I was reading through info about vocal range and found the category "singers with a 5-octave vocal range". I know one of the artists I listen to belongs in that list but he doesn't have a personal wikipedia page, only a band one. Is there a way for me to update the list to include him without writing an entire page? Thanks --DanicaShardae201 (talk) 20:59, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi DanicaShardae201, and thanks for this interesting question! I think the best way to accomplish this would be to follow the thinking at these guidelines for adding categories to redirects. Basically, we could make a redirect from the singer to the band, and add that redirect to the vocal range category. The outcome would be, people who browse the category will see the singer listed there, but when they click the singer's name it will take them to the band's article, where they can learn more. If anyone ever makes a full article about the singer, it will also naturally be categorized correctly.
- You can't make the redirect yourself yet because your account is too new, but I'm happy to do it for you -- just let me know what singer and band you're talking about. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 21:56, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! That would be great!
- The singer is Tim Foust, with the band Home Free. There are a number of celebrity blurbs which mention his 5-octave vocal range.

- https://www.singers.com/performers/Tim-Foust/ DanicaShardae201 (talk) 02:15, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi DanicaShardae, sorry it took a little bit for me to get around to it -- it looks like someone else beat me to the punch! The category has been added to the redirect, and you can see him listed here. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 05:15, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
Question from Zamo 3535 on Template:Latest stable software release/Snapchat (21:48, 9 June 2024)
My account band ip help me please --Zamo 3535 (talk) 21:49, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Zamo 3535, I'm happy to answer questions about editing wikipedia, but I'm not sure what you're asking here. Something about a banned IP address? It looks like your wikipedia account is working to let you edit, though this is your only edit so far. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 05:13, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
Question from Editor 5692 (21:20, 18 June 2024)
Hi, How can I create new articles? --Editor 5692 (talk) 21:20, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- The article creation wizard is here. Making an article is not usually a good way to get started on Wikipedia; I suggest reading the advice here before you start. The most important thing is to make sure you will have sources to cite that meet Wikipedia's standards; if you like, you can share links to your sources with me and I am happy to give my opinion as to whether they are likely to work. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 21:23, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
Question from MahmoudAbbasAlDilfti (10:02, 20 June 2024)
Hi,
Do you know what should i do when there is a "field required" when i tried to enter the title of the article that i want to archive?
Thanks! --MahmoudAbbasAlDilfti (talk) 10:02, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hm, from that description all I can really say is “fill in the information which that field requires”. It sounds like you’re trying to use a template that can’t work unless a particular piece of information is provided. Can you get more specific about what you’re trying to do? Maybe a screenshot? ~ L 🌸 (talk) 04:38, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
Question from Editor 5692 (17:08, 20 June 2024)
Hi,
I just wrote my first article. It was rejected. Can you help me to improve it in order that it will not be read promotional --Editor 5692 (talk) 17:08, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! This sounds like a frustrating start. The best way to avoid promotional writing is usually to write just 2-3 factual sentences with the basics, with citations to 3-4 super high quality sources. Often the sources are even more important than the specific words. What is the topic you’re trying to write about? If you link me to your 3 best sources (most independent, most in depth) I can give you my personal opinion about whether they will work for an article. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 04:42, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Deolububble (14:33, 3 July 2024)
I did my first sandbox and it was deleted under 5 minutes. Trying to find out why --Deolububble (talk) 14:33, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Deolububble, and welcome to Wikipedia! It looks like your draft was deleted as being unambiguous advertising. Wikipedia is a reference encyclopedia, which aims to provide basic, neutral, factual information rather than praise or recommendations. If you want to try again, I suggest reading WP:BACKWARD and WP:YFA. You should also probably read WP:SIMPLECOI. Another good approach for learning encyclopedia-style writing is to start with just a "stub" article of 2-3 very well-sourced sentences covering the bare-bones basics. Let me know if you have any other questions, and happy editing. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 19:40, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Normstahlie (13:50, 10 July 2024)
What does "rescuing a source" mean? --Normstahlie (talk) 13:50, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Normstahlie, usually I see that edit summary applied when someone has provided an archived version of a website in order to prevent link rot. I think there is a bot which goes around automatically linking archived versions of websites. If that doesn't seem like the right answer for your question, feel free to link me to wherever you saw it and maybe I can give a better explanation. Happy editing! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 23:29, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi ARoseWolf, could you please explain how to create citation link --SravanthiSruthi (talk) 12:31, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello SravanthiSruthi, I'm not ARoseWolf but I am happy to help. There are some instructions here on how to add citations. Does that page answer your question? ~ L 🌸 (talk) 18:09, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
- I apologize to SravanthiSruthi and to you, L. This may be a new editor that was assigned to me before I abruptly resigned as a mentor and so has now been reassigned to you. I know they will be in good hands. Good luck to both of you on your editing adventure and I appreciate your contributions and the effort it takes to be a mentor.

- Hello KABOTATHEHUN, and welcome to Wikipedia. I personally don’t know anything about motorcycle clubs, but if you’re asking how Wikipedia articles get written on the topic, volunteers like you click the “edit” button and do their best to include accurate information based on what is published in reliable sources. I am here to answer questions about editing Wikipedia, so if you’ve noticed an error and aren’t sure how to correct it, I’m happy to help if I can. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 21:47, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
Question from Alawode Anuoluwapo Oluwafunmilayo (07:42, 3 September 2024)
Pls how can I lock my post so that Noone can edit it --Alawode Anuoluwapo Oluwafunmilayo (talk) 07:42, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Alawode Anuoluwapo Oluwafunmilayo, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a collaboratively-written encyclopedia, so there isn't really a way to prevent others from editing something: the whole goal is to write together. If you make a user page for yourself here, people will typically avoid editing it out of politeness. If there is an existing article that is getting vandalised a lot, you can request that the page be "protected" to limit who can edit it (though not so no one can edit). ~ L 🌸 (talk) 17:44, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

Women in Green's "Around the World in 31 Days" GA Editathon – October 2024
Hello LEvalyn:
WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!
Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.
We hope to see you there!
