Hey, what should I do if I need to cite multiple things throughout a page, but they use the same source? --O5-Omega (talk) 20:27, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Mascuud cali on User:MustafaO (18:43, 6 May 2024)

MustafaO he laying don’t trust him --Mascuud cali (talk) 18:43, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I don't get what your question is. --SHB2000 (talk) 22:03, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Astraflorix (10:49, 18 May 2024)

Hello! Firstly, thank you SO much for being my mentor :) Secondly, I have a few questions for you (I am sorry if they're weird) - I am twelve years old. Am I still allowed to edit Wikipedia? I am asking because there is usually an age limit on some websites. - How do you get those things that say "this user is ___" on your profile? :0

Thank you, I hope you have a good day :) --Astraflorix (talk) 10:49, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Astraflorix, since the WMF does not collect personal data about you, you can be of any age to edit! However, you may want to have a look at WP:YOUNG. I'm not entirely sure by what you mean "this user is ___", but I presume you are talking about userboxes – Wikipedia:Userboxes has a collection of them, but do let me know if you need any help with that.
Cheers for the kind words :-). --SHB2000 (talk) 10:54, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! :D Astraflorix (talk) 22:37, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Madenge Nyerere (20:58, 26 May 2024)

Hi! When will my articles start showing and stop being in draft? --Madenge Nyerere (talk) 20:58, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Madenge Nyerere: You'll need to submit them for review for them to be in mainspace through WP:AfC. --SHB2000 (talk) 21:25, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Madenge Nyerere (04:03, 28 May 2024)

Hi again. let say i have been writing articles in other languages, and now i want to translate them to english Language. is it advisable to start as a draft article or? --Madenge Nyerere (talk) 04:03, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Madenge Nyerere: In most cases, yes. Once you become extended confirmed, you will be able to use Special:ContentTranslation, but until then, you will need to manually translate them. Since different wikis have different policies and criteria on what's determined to be notable, it is advisable to create a draft. Make sure you provide appropriate attribution as this is legally required – hope WP:TRANSLATE gives some some good advice. Let me know if you need any further assistance! --SHB2000 (talk) 09:49, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Origin Send off Minute it happened

On the nrl website, says Sua'ali'i was sent off in the 7th minute. https://www.nrl.com/draw/state-of-origin/2024/game-1/blues-v-maroons/ MaskedSinger (talk) 13:21, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting – 9 Now (live) and the Sydney Morning Herald both claim 8, which I think is more accurate as it happened at 7' 25" (which is the eighth minute). --SHB2000 (talk) 13:24, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok cool. Thanks for being on top of it! MaskedSinger (talk) 13:26, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Sr1273 (01:11, 14 July 2024)

Hi,

I am trying to edit and then submit an article about a living person Sammi Cannold. Would you please suggest what else I need to input in the article in order to make it noteworthy.

Thank you! --Sr1273 (talk) 01:11, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, a person isn't noteworthy because the article makes them noteworthy, but only if they pass WP:N. --SHB2000 (talk) 04:27, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

my edit seems to have been reverted on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Ivanov concerning his name. i checked the bulgarian wikipedia and it said his name was Nikola Ivanov Ivanov (bulgarian names have a patronymic)

Hi, Cheesypenguigi, in that case, feel free to revert my edit – however, in the case of a WP:BLP, please provide a reliable source (cannot be bgwiki). --SHB2000 (talk) 01:35, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
i found a good source (http://1333.bg/persons/bg/image/437/) and have edited the article. thanks Cheesypenguigi (talk) 13:25, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you – glad we could resolve this. --SHB2000 (talk) 14:09, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Coiman (00:39, 26 October 2024)

Hello @SHB2000. I just need to ask you a quick question about editing. I have added a template called Too Many Photos to the article cat. I have a feeling I haven't done it right. Have I done it correctly? Here`s the link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat#cite_note-1 --Coiman (talk) 00:39, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If I'm reading things correctly, make sure to omit ref tags if adding {{too many photos}}. I've got no opinion on whether the tag should be there in the first place or not, though. --SHB2000 (talk) 07:53, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Prophecy Guy (03:41, 16 November 2024)

Hi -- just joined, obviously.

I've been working on a draft, and frequently "Publishing it".

When I exit Wikipedia, and then sign back in -- it's gone!

Where do I find it? --Prophecy Guy (talk) 03:41, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) @Prophecy Guy: I believe you are referring to Draft:David Wilkerson Prophecies. However, I would like to point out that this draft as it stands is unlikely to be accepted for inclusion into the encyclopedia, since it appears to have problems relating to our neutral point of view policy. I advise that you make modifications to it to avoid those concerns. JJPMaster (she/they) 03:45, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
thanks! Prophecy Guy (talk) 04:19, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, thanks for asking and sorry for the delay – I've been out for the weekend. JJP summed it up very nicely. SHB2000 (talk) 07:13, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
