Have a question about something

My question is why don't we make questions articles? And also, why don't we add in a suicide prevention notice on top on suicide pages.

This is an encyclopedia, not a question database or FAQ. There was a recent debate about putting a suicide prevention warning or notice in relevant articles, but it did not gain consensus. Wikipedia does not have disclaimers or other messages in articles. 331dot (talk) 01:15, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. Okay. Thanks, 331dot

Can you show me the link to the debate

But can it bring more people to Wikipedia? Like, we could rival answers.com and more, while still keeping our first promise of free info. Besides, some book encyclopedias have questions and answers in the books.

The debate was at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=917380648#Proposal_to_add_suicidal_disclaimer_at_Suicide . —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^{Onward to 2020} 02:11, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

People visiting Wikipedia is not a problem at present, as Wikipedia consistently ranks as one of the top accessed websites in the world. What you propose also seems like a radical departure from Wikipedia's mission. However, I certainly do not represent all of Wikipedia, and you are free to discuss your ideas to improve Wikipedia at the Village Pump. 331dot (talk) 11:10, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, we are 7th, according to alexa. Don't we want to be in the top five? And also we could rival Google and YouTube as they are censoring creators. Aren't we the freedom of information website? And before you ask about the pump, I did, twice.

This is not a "freedom of information website", this is an encyclopedia with defined criteria for inclusion of information. We aren't here to compete with YouTube and Google. 331dot (talk) 00:23, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

But why not? We have information, the stability, and the backing of Wikimedia if they accept. We have wikibooks, wikidictionary, and more, we also have the people to work on it. Why not compete?

See my reply at Wikipedia:Village pump (idea lab)/Archive 30#What if we rival Google and YouTube? Wikibooks and Wiktionary are Wikimedia projects but not part of Wikipedia. Everything here at wikipedia.org should be about the encyclopedia and not the place to discuss other Wikimedia projects. PrimeHunter (talk) 14:06, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused

I have 10 edits to my name, yet I can't edit semi protected articles, and a quick question. If I'm on here for 5 days, but have less than 10 edits, can I do semi protected articles? Thanks in advance

You need both 10 edits and 4 days to become autoconfirmed. PrimeHunter (talk) 21:20, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Am I allowed to talk about stuff other than Wikipedia?

On my talk page, am I allowed to talk about stuff that is not Wikipedia related? Or no, and why

This talk page is meant for communication with you, primarily about Wikipedia related matters. Please read WP:UP#NOT for information on what content is permitted on user talk pages, but in short, excessive discussion unrelated to Wikipedia is not allowed. No one will come down on you for the rare, occasional off topic discussion, but this page should not be turned into your personal chatroom or blog. There are websites where you can do those things if you wish. 331dot (talk) 21:25, 21 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How do I move my stuff to my (future) account?

I'm planning on moving my stuff, how do I do that on mobile? New340 (talk) 21:10, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

While you can create a new account if you intend to abandon this one, a simple username change would be much easier and preserve your edit history. If you just create a new account, your edit history cannot be transferred to your new account. You can request a change of username at Special:GlobalRenameRequest or WP:CHUS. 331dot (talk) 21:14, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Now, here's the problem. My idiot butt forgot to remember the password and to put in my email, so yeah, I think I need a new account. Wait, do i? New340 (talk) 21:41, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your article-space edit history (which is the only history we care about) consists of two edits totalling eight words. If you can't remember your password and it isn't saved in your browser settings, just abandon this account and create a new one, with a note that this was your former account. ‑ Iridescent 22:46, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bye.

I'm moving to news360. This account is now deactive. If it is not there, try new3400. See ya there.New340 (talk) 23:37, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I'm here as new3400.

I'm back, and ready to edit. New3400 (talk) 23:44, 22 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
