Question from EliKope (14:59, 2 July 2024)

I am a member of the The Funk Center https://www.thefunkcenter.org/ and would like to create pages for musicians who are not currently found on wikipedia. Some of them are still alive. Any guidance on creating new pages is welcome. --EliKope (talk) 14:59, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi @EliKope, that's a nice idea. Please be aware that wikipedia is an encyclodpedia and so entries must have significant coverage in reliable sources to establish their notability, even if they appear notable to you. I've dropped some links at User talk:EliKope. To create a page I'd advise using Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Happy editing! Mujinga (talk) 19:28, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
Thank you! This was my concern--how 'famous' does someone have to be to merit a wiki page? I've looked up several lesser-known musicians, and I think I have a handle on content creation. However, I appreciate the references you've provided. I will review them before I start trying to construct content. 72.49.236.194 (talk) 19:46, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
72.49.236.194 / @EliKope Well this is an essay not policy but I think it helps to convey the point - User:RoySmith/Three best sources. With regard to funk center members, they would ideally have substantial coverage in national level magazines and newspapers Mujinga (talk) 19:56, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Wordskeep (02:13, 8 July 2024)

Hello, nice to meet you. I’m glad to know I have a knowledgeable individual to help me out as it is inevitable that I will have questions. Felix Navidad, WK --Wordskeep (talk) 02:13, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

@Wordskeep - hellos and welcome to wikipedia. iIput some links at User_talk:Wordskeep. Feel free to get in touch about anything wikipedia-related! Mujinga (talk) 09:27, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Chairs.and.birds (17:37, 8 July 2024)

Hello there, I'm so sorry to bother you! How can I change the headline of a wiki page? --Chairs.and.birds (talk) 17:37, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

@Chairs.and.birds do you mean by headline the title of the page? that's possible to change by moving the page, but since you are fresh to wikipedia I'd urge you to be careful. You can be bold, but you might also get reverted. Since you stopped by, I'll put some helpful links at User talk:Chairs.and.birds. Happy editing! Mujinga (talk) 17:55, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Cdr Hill (22:52, 8 July 2024)

I added some information but could not figure out how to add a footnote. --Cdr Hill (talk) 22:52, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

@Cdr Hill hellos and welcome to wikipedia! Wikipedia:Citing sources gives you information on how to cite/make a footnote. It's a lot of information I know but worth browsing - I remember when I was starting off I used to press the edit button to see how things worked under the bonnet as it were. I'll also put some helpful links at User talk:Cdr Hill, which is your talkpage. Happy editing! Mujinga (talk) 09:37, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from NehaShekhawat0111 (07:18, 10 July 2024)

plz suggest how to operate the all blog and post NehaShekhawat0111 (talk) 07:18, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

@NehaShekhawat0111 frankly I think you have the wrong idea about wikipedia. It's an encyclopedia, not a place to promote your business. Mujinga (talk) 07:54, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
Yes...but why my page is delete? NehaShekhawat0111 (talk) 08:51, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
@NehaShekhawat0111 for the reason I put at User talk:NehaShekhawat0111, namely you can't use your userpage to promote your business, per Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_blog,_web_hosting_service,_social_networking_service,_or_memorial_site. This is an encyclopedia, not a social network. Anything else I can help with? Mujinga (talk) 09:41, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Mwanandeke (16:05, 11 July 2024)

Hello Sirdog! I kindly request your review of my created article Off Ryine. --Mwanandeke (talk) 16:05, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

On a quick look it seems to be coming along ok, well done. Mujinga (talk) 18:15, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Mayback93 (01:29, 12 July 2024)

Hello I need to put create a page and move it from my sandbox to wikipedia --Mayback93 (talk) 01:29, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Mayback93 and welcome to wikipedia. I put some links at your talkpage - User talk:Mayback93. If you read Wikipedia:Articles for creation that should help you understand the process of getting a draft article published. Happy editing! Mujinga (talk) 18:17, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
Can you move it for me from my sandbox to the Wikipedia page ? Mayback93 (talk) 18:55, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
@Mayback93 nope - that page isn't good enough quality for an encyclopedia, you need significant coverage in reliable sources. I already pointed you to Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Further, you seem to have a connection to the subject, which I would advise you to declare. Wikipedia:Conflict of interest covers this. Mujinga (talk) 19:31, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
I’ve looked but I’m not understanding, can you please explain to me what you mean Mayback93 (talk) 23:36, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
Sure I know there's a lot of jargon in wikipedia - you want to create an article about "R.J “Mayback” Mayberry" and your username is "Mayback93" so I assume you have a connection, also known as a conflict of interest with the article subject? As a general rule of thumb it's not a good idea to write abpout someone you know, since if they were notable enough to have a wikipedia article, somebody else would probably write it. Mujinga (talk) 09:37, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
So can you do it ? Or someone else do it Mayback93 (talk) 11:50, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
It will happen in good time if it's supposed to happen - I'm not doing it for reasons already expressed. Mujinga (talk) 11:58, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Maham28 (17:44, 16 July 2024)

hello, I just drafted an article. I wanted you to have a look and guide me. --Maham28 (talk) 17:44, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

@Maham28 Sorry it looks like you are promoting a company, I can't help you with that. People have already given you good advice at User talk:Maham28 Mujinga (talk) 19:12, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
okay. i did change the tone and stuff, but I believe the references are not working. thanks. Maham28 (talk) 20:15, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Mr. Vikash Thakur (19:30, 18 July 2024)

Hello,

I hope you are doing well.

My article was published two months ago, but it is still not indexed by Google. Please guide me on what the issue might be and how long it typically takes for an article to be indexed. Here is the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharran_Srivatsaa

Thank you. --Mr. Vikash Thakur (talk) 19:30, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

Have you been paid to edit this article? Mujinga (talk) 01:24, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
No, he is my colleague.. Mr. Vikash Thakur (talk) 18:33, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
I see. So you have a conflict of interest which needs to be declared, following the steps at WP:DISCLOSE Mujinga (talk) 07:15, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
Please note that I have draftified the article due to concerns regarding the sources. Most of the references appear to be paid PR articles. Additionally, my off-wiki research suggests the possibility of undisclosed paid editing. GSS 💬 19:06, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
@GSS thanks! Mujinga (talk) 22:08, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from AUTHOR BHAT SEHRAN (11:33, 21 July 2024)

How can I write my biography on Wikipedia --AUTHOR BHAT SEHRAN (talk) 11:33, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

That's not how wikipedia works Mujinga (talk) 16:56, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Johnson Divine on Unilog Content Solutions (14:16, 22 July 2024)

Hello how can I edit? --Johnson Divine (talk) 14:16, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Help:Editing would prob be a good first step Mujinga (talk) 20:49, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Naqqash6 (04:27, 28 July 2024)

i have created a wikipedia article but it is not showing on google --Naqqash6 (talk) 04:27, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Naqqash6 (05:41, 28 July 2024)

can you please tell me why my new article Minh-Tam (Tammy) Tran not showing on google? and how can I know my article is approved for indexing on google I am new on wikipedia please guide --Naqqash6 (talk) 05:41, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

All I can suggest is to follow the guidelines for a new user and not write promotional articles. Mujinga (talk) 12:34, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Harwant Singh Arora (12:19, 31 July 2024)

Hi, Thank you for being my Mentor. I would like to get an article published of a person who is a Bollywood Actor. Please let me know how to do that?

Thank you --Harwant Singh Arora (talk) 12:19, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

see below Mujinga (talk) 13:02, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Harwant Singh Arora (21:54, 31 July 2024)

Hi Mujinga, Thank you for your prompt response. I am trying to submit an article on a Bollywood Actor, but it is not being published yet. I already request the article over a month ago. Can you please tell me how to get the article submitted?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you. --Harwant Singh Arora (talk) 21:54, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

@Harwant Singh Arora Do you know the subject of the article? If you do, that's not necessarily a problem but it should be disclosed, following Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#howtodisclose Mujinga (talk) 13:01, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Hi Mujinga,
Yes I do know the subject and already written the entire content on that article. Also, I disclosed it under COI guidelines but don't know how to publish?
When, I requested the for the article to the team, they said the resources should be credible and notable. Although, all the resources are notable and credible. How would I know that what all resources are acceptable and what are not.
Please guide.
Thank you. Harwant Singh Arora (talk) 13:05, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
What is the article? You seem to have a few on the go Mujinga (talk) 13:08, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Perhaps you need Wikipedia:Articles for creation Mujinga (talk) 13:09, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Oh no i see you are aware of AfC - then if the article is in the queue, a volunteer will look at it but it might take some time Mujinga (talk) 13:10, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Approximately, how much time? Harwant Singh Arora (talk) 13:11, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
WP:AFCREVIEW says "Getting a review can take a while, but your draft will be reviewed eventually." I don't know what the current backlog is Mujinga (talk) 13:12, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
The article is a Biography of Akkash Bharadwaj, a Bollywood Actor. Harwant Singh Arora (talk) 13:10, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
I don't see it, have you written it already Mujinga (talk) 13:11, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Yes, I have it written with me but don't know how to publish that. Can I do it on my own or will have to request somebody to publish it? Harwant Singh Arora (talk) 13:13, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Follow the steps of Wikipedia:Articles for creation but be warned if the quality is as low as Draft:Yash Wadali must have been, it will likely also be rejected. There's plenty of articles you can read to see how to write a good one. Mujinga (talk) 13:14, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Ok, check this and let you know. Thank you for your help. Harwant Singh Arora (talk) 13:16, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
Hi Mujinga,
Hope you are doing well. Just wanted to ask you if you are authorized to publish my article, then please do so. I have written the entire article along with the credible and notable resources.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you. Harwant Singh Arora (talk) 10:14, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
My advice remains "Follow the steps of Wikipedia:Articles for creation but be warned if the quality is as low as Draft:Yash Wadali must have been, it will likely also be rejected. " Mujinga (talk) 22:00, 5 August 2024 (UTC)
Hello Mujinga,
I would like to ask you one question before publishing my article. How do I ensure which resources are of a good quality or not?
Please reply.
Thank you Harwant Singh Arora (talk) 19:26, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
@Harwant Singh Arora good question - it must be hard as a beginner to understand this, but this is an encyclopedia so we want significant coverage in high quality sources from reliable places. this could mean a book by a professor at an established university or an article about the topic in national magazine or newspaper. Mujinga (talk) 08:59, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
Hello Mujinga,
First of all, I am very thankful that you have been very helpful so far. I would like to inform you that I found few sources of Akkash Bharadwaj but not sure if they are considered as notable according to Wikipedia guidelines. This would be really appreciable if you could let me know. These are:
1. https://www.tribuneindia.com/2012/20120412/ttlife1.htm
2. https://www.indianfilmhistory.com/actor/akkash-bhardwaj
3. https://www.indiaforums.com/article/akkash-bharadwaj-bags-ek-duje-ke-vaste_86240
4. https://nettv4u.com/celebrity/hindi/actor/akkash-bharadwaj
5. https://www.matchmytalent.com/akkashbactor
Your guidance is really appreciable.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you once again. Harwant Singh Arora (talk) 23:01, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
@Harwant Singh Arora as a quick response:
1 useful for basic info but it is an interview
2 there's no significant covergae here
3 not particulalry useful, except to say he is appearing in Ek Duje Ke Vaste
4 there's no significant covergae here
5 not useful except for basic info per WP:SELFSOURCE
hope thats helpful!
` Mujinga (talk) 00:57, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
1. Although this is an interview but it has been published in the news article. Shouldn't it be credible? Harwant Singh Arora (talk) 10:31, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
How about this?
https://www.tvguide.com/movies/sur-sangam/cast/2000314353/
Akash Singh is a cast in Sur Sangam movie. Harwant Singh Arora (talk) 10:35, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Also, considering point number 2 above (Indianfilmhistory.com), the same website is being used in his wikiepedia profile:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akash_Singh_(actor)
then how this article is on the Wikipedia and not ours? Harwant Singh Arora (talk) 10:53, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Also, all the websites in the refereces are related to blogspot.com that can be changed by anybody (as per your instructions), then how can I publish this article?
Please guide. Thank you. Harwant Singh Arora (talk) 11:05, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
One last question, Will Wikipedia itself is considered as a credible and notable website? If yes, there are numerous resouces on wikipedia. Harwant Singh Arora (talk) 11:17, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
no it isnt considered reliable for referencing purporses Mujinga (talk) 16:54, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
not quite sure what you mean here, but reading Wikipedia:Reliable sources should answer your questions? Mujinga (talk) 16:56, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
i know it's alot of info to take in, but this argument is so notorious it has its own answer at WP:WHATABOUT. basically, there's no value in pointing at another wrongly copnstructed article when discussig your article. hope that helps! i've got to admit i feel slightly burnt out by your questions, there is also Wikipedia:Teahouse but i'm also open to questions here Mujinga (talk) 16:59, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
Alternatively, may I draft the article and can you check if there is no problem in the article before submitting? Harwant Singh Arora (talk) 19:32, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
i think it's best if you follow the article for creation process Mujinga (talk) 08:59, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from RavenSilver (12:27, 2 August 2024)

I have noticed some libellous and untrue information in an article. How do I get that changed? Or is it ok to push political agendas in seemingly informative articles? I have to say, I found it quite disconcerting to read unfounded slander about a well known and living person. --RavenSilver (talk) 12:27, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi @RavenSilver and welcome to wikipedia! You can follow the steps at Wikipedia:Libel to have libellous information removed, but it must really be libellous, rather than something you disagree with. Thanks Mujinga (talk) 22:02, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Khalilah Dominick (22:23, 2 August 2024)

Hi this is my first time creating a Wikipedia page --Khalilah Dominick (talk) 22:23, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Hiya have fun! Mujinga (talk) 22:02, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Bmartink (23:12, 6 August 2024)

Thank you very much Mujinga. I will study the help guides and ask for your help later as I edit. I appreciate your willingness to help! --Bmartink (talk) 23:12, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

@Bmartink ok great, I put some helpful links at User talk:Bmartink, let me know if you have any questions about how to edit! Mujinga (talk) 07:23, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Bayordong Haruna on Bank account (22:58, 7 August 2024)

Hello how to withdraw money in the bank account --Bayordong Haruna (talk) 22:58, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

@Bayordong Haruna I'm only authorised to answer wikipedia-related questions. Mujinga (talk) 23:30, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from AgroLover (18:40, 9 August 2024)

Hi Mujinga,

I think I've finished writing my article. I'd like to know if you could take a look at it and let me know if you think it's ready to be sent to review. Would that be possible? --AgroLover (talk) 18:40, 9 August 2024 (UTC)

@AgroLover sorry i missed your message; you have submitted it through Articles for Creation and that is what I would have advised Mujinga (talk) 07:00, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
No worries. Thanks AgroLover (talk) 12:48, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

TFA

Thank you today for Phoolan Devi, introduced: "Phoolan Devi (1963 – 2001), also known as the Bandit Queen, had a rather unique life. She went from a very poor rural beginning in Uttar Pradesh to being a notorious dacoit (bandit). Her fame grew amongst the lower castes in India whilst she was on the run since she was seen as a Robin Hood figure; she was also involved (to at least some degree) in the Behmai massacre. She negotiated her surrender to the authorities and spent eleven years in prison. Her charges were dropped so she could become an MP in the Lok Sabha, the lower house of India's Parliament, then she was shot to death whilst incumbent. It's quite a story, made more colourful by her tendency to change how she recounted the events of her life to suit different situations. The film Bandit Queen made her globally famous although she herself objected to her depiction and at first wanted it banned in India."! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:17, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

+1, thankyou for this wonderful article, which must have been pretty hard to write! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 06:48, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

I'm afraid that's not really a wikipedia-related issue. We need information based on reliable sources. Mujinga (talk) 07:01, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Apologies for any inconvenience. I would greatly appreciate it if you could review this draft and provide your guidance. Thank you for your time and assistance! Mr. Vikash Thakur (talk) 18:11, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

@Mr. Vikash Thakur I see the draft was declined and the reviewer gave some good advice Mujinga (talk) 12:48, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Primeoren (12:03, 11 August 2024)

How can change town name --Primeoren (talk) 12:03, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

Start by finding a source that says the town's name has changed, or referring to it by the other name. Click here for more info: Help:Referencing for beginners - Changes aren't accepted without some sources to back up the info. Komonzia (talk) 16:22, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I want to create an entry for a politician in office, is there a template I can use? --JoseGCabreraC (talk) 12:38, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

@JoseGCabreraC hiya that honestly sounds like a rather big task if you are new on wikipedia! there may well be templates out there, i encourage you to have a look around and i've put some helpful links at User talk:JoseGCabreraC Mujinga (talk) 13:16, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from John-Aug-Keogh (15:20, 27 August 2024)

Hi Mujinga - how do I declare an COI in creating my own Biography entry "John Keogh (designer)" since I am John Keogh? --John-Aug-Keogh (talk) 15:20, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi @John-Aug-Keogh and welcome to wikipedia! It's worth giving Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest a read, in particular - Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#How_to_disclose_a_COI. If that's confusing let me know. I can't say it's normally a good idea to write about yourself on wikipedia, the idea being that if you are notable enough on wikipedia standards, then someoone else will do it for you. You are following the correct steps but the sources you have used are not optimal - I'd suggest finding significant coverage in national newspapers or magazines, that's what wikipeida requires. Mujinga (talk) 21:25, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Vader23 (10:51, 8 September 2024)

Good day Hope you're well Is it possible to add information about a business --Vader23 (talk) 10:51, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Vader23, yes it's possible to add information about a business - do you mean to add to an already existing page or to create a new page. Everything on wikipedia must be cited to reliable sources and if you have a connection to said business, that could well be a conflict of interest.

Hello dear mentor I'm having trouble editing certain pages here. For example, I'm unable to make any changes to the "Arkansas" page, while I can edit some other pages. What could be the reason for this? Thank you. --40S9350144 (talk) 07:43, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi @40S9350144 good question! If you look at the page for Arkansas, you'll see a silver padlock, probably top right, that's where it is for me. WP:SILVERLOCK explains that the page is protected so that in your case, your account must be at least 4 days old with at least 10 edits on English Wikipedia to be able to edit the page. This is most likely because of previous vandalism, although I didn't look into it. I checked your other edits, they look good, but please don't mark anything substantive as minor - minor is really minor like removing an unneeded blank space - Help:Minor edit explains this further. Don't hesitate to ask if you have further questions! Mujinga (talk) 08:53, 9 September 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for your response! I will look into these things further. 40S9350144 (talk) 18:45, 9 September 2024 (UTC)

Women in Green's "Around the World in 31 Days" GA Editathon – October 2024

Hello Mujinga:

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!

"On this day"

Dear mentor,

I want to see information regarding past dates in the format of the "on this day" features that can be seen on the "Main Page" of Wikipedia. For example I would like to read the "on this day" information relevant to June 21st of this year. Is this possible?

Thank you! 40S9350144 (talk) 09:49, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

@40S9350144 hello that's an excellent question - you can find what appeared for June 21 2024 at Wikipedia:Selected anniversaries/June 21 - you can also see all June 21 anniversaries at June 1. Let me know if you have further questions! Mujinga (talk) 10:01, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
Thank you very much! 40S9350144 (talk) 12:06, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
As was prob obvious, i meant June 21 not June 1! Mujinga (talk) 13:41, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia policies

Dear mentor,

I see a lot of "policies" here. A lot more than I expected if I'm being honest and it overwhelms me a bit. How do I familiarize myself with those? What are some essentials that I must absolutely know?

Thank you very much and I appreciate your help! 40S9350144 (talk) 16:33, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

@40S9350144 yes i can imagine it's pretty overwhelming! but it's also ok, you can't really break anything as edits can be rolled back again, so go ahead and be bold. in terms of fundamentals, Wikipedia:Five pillars is a great place to start. happy editing! Mujinga (talk) 17:09, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
Thank you! I want to learn more about these at some point. 40S9350144 (talk) 17:45, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

Question from DeltaDartActual (14:52, 5 October 2024)

Hi Mujinga, I work for Addis Ababa University and wanted to know if it is okay under Wikipedia's policies to insert the institution's telegram channel on the Wikipedia page. I'm unsure if it's considered academic boosterism and would like to get your take on the matter.

Much thanks, --DeltaDartActual (talk) 14:52, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

@DeltaDartActual hiya and welcome to wikipedia. good question, thanks for asking it. I would say yes, it is unnecessary to add a telegram channel to an article for the subject, whatever it is. you can see what a decent page looks like for an academic institution by looking at other articles for other universities. best of luck and feel free to ask more questions. as a last point, if you work for Addis Ababa University then please read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest in particular Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#How_to_disclose_a_COI if you want to edit that article. cheers, Mujinga (talk) 18:06, 5 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Izmaiqbalmemon (06:31, 15 October 2024)

Hi, I am writing an article on a notable personality in pakistan and sent if for publishing but someone said, I need to give more sources to make it notable. I already have cited 10-12 articles. is that not enough? thanks --Izmaiqbalmemon (talk) 06:31, 15 October 2024 (UTC)

@Izmaiqbalmemon welcome to wikipedia! The number of articles cited isn't in itself the requirement is for citations to significant coverage in reliable sources. I can see at User talk:Izmaiqbalmemon Saqib is giving you helpful advice - first next step would be to answer their question about having a conflict of interest.

Question from MZouridis (10:52, 24 October 2024)

Hello, I need to edit an article for my employer Profile Systems and Software but I cannot do it myself due to COI. I can't find any way to post this requirement to the community. Can you please help? --MZouridis (talk) 10:52, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi @MZouridis thanks for checking in - I take it you mean Profile Systems and Software? The standard method to add content when you have a declared conflict of interest is detailed at Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest#Paid_editors. Hope that helps! Mujinga (talk) 08:18, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
Hi @Mujingayes that's correct the article in mention is Profile Systems and Software. Well I'm not a contributor, I'm just an employee of the company. I tried to do the corrections myself a while back but due to COI they got rejected. The same practice applies? MZouridis (talk) 08:30, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
@MZouridis Oh I see, well yes I'd say it's still best to follow this format from the link I gave - "If you propose changes to an affected article, you can use the {{edit COI}} template. Post it on the talk page and make your suggestion underneath it." You could also I suppose look at Talk:Profile Systems and Software and contact relevant wikiprojects to ask for help, eg Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing. Please remember everyone is a volunteer so the request may be answered on any time schedule. Mujinga (talk) 09:41, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
