Hello, how does a page go from Draft to Published? --Pollin08 (talk) 18:19, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Pollin08. The process goes something like this. You create the draft, some experienced editor looks at the draft and decides whether or not it should be published to the article space. If they decide it shouldn't, then they usually explain why. You then take these concerns into account, improve the draft and resubmit it for publication. These phases are now repeated until the draft is accepted. Cheers, Pichpich (talk) 20:37, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello, thanks for your help. I have resubmitted a draft article that was rejected a few weeks ago because of insufficient citation. I'm confident it's now fine, and it's certainly of sufficient general interest. Would it be possible for you to take a look to check, or is this beyond your remit as a mentor? (In which case of course I understand.) The draft article is 'Merope Mills'. Thanks again. --MPRabbity (talk) 16:38, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi MPRabbity. I see that Chris Troutman has declined the submission so it's probably a good idea that you resolve the issue with him. For the record, I think an article on Merope Mills might be less viable than an article about Martha's Rule. Cheers, Pichpich (talk) 20:45, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

editHI I want to put my bio up on wikkipedia. I have many firsts for a woman in military aviation history. I am a published Military Aviation Historian and Military Aviation Artist with the USAF art program. I own my company Phoenix Aviation Research that is 40 years old this year. Can I just publish the bio that was used my company's website It is extensive. It also lists the books that I have written and were published, some of which are used in Wikkipedia as reference by other authors in their articles. --Habujean925 (talk) 21:55, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Habujean925 and welcome to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, writing about yourself on Wikipedia is strongly discouraged. As for the bio on your company's website, there are two potential problems. One is that the text could be copyrighted, in which case it can't be copied as is. Second, even if the copyright issue is resolved, that source would not be considered as a reliable source because its author is not independent of the subject. If you believe that you meet these criteria for inclusion, I'm confident that someone will eventually write about you since there's a very active Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history.

March 2024
editHello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Quran translations: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template index/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Committing evil sin of templating a regular, so I'll try to be descriptive. I noticed that you reverted a user's edit on Quran translations, which violated NPOV. Then, a (new) message for a level-2 warning wasn't placed on their talk page. This may have also been a conscious decision, and if it was, I've love to hear your feedback. Thanks, Personhumanperson (talk) 16:14, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Personhumanperson. I commented on my edit in the edit summary and it seemed redundant to add a new warning duplicating yours. All is well that ends well apparently. The editor has not tried to edit the article since my revert so I think the message got through to them. Pichpich (talk) 16:23, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

I apologize for the confusion. Your response was the first one I saw, and I missed Pichpich's response. Being new to Wiki and unfamiliar with navigating the site, I missed it. Consequently, I thought of creating something privately to share with my mentor (Pichpich) as a follow-up, unaware that others besides Pichpich were part of this conversation.

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
editHello Pichpich,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
Reminders:
- You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
- Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
- To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.
Question from My humble contribution (18:53, 3 April 2024)
editHi Pichpich,
Nice to meet you virtually.
I have noticed that there is an ECHA infocard for ascorbic acid available at https://echa.europa.eu/fr/substance-information/-/substanceinfo/100.000.061 , even though this substance is not classified under REACH.
I think it would be worth adding this link on the ascorbic acid page like there is already for more hazardous substances like benzoic acid (https://echa.europa.eu/substance-information/-/substanceinfo/100.000.562) in the properties section of the chembox, for instance.
What is the process to do that in Wikipedia?
Thanks in advance --My humble contribution (talk) 18:53, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi and welcome to Wikpedia! I have no expertise whatsoever about chemistry but I can tell you that the quickest way to get this done is to post a comment (basically what you just wrote to me) on the page Talk:Vitamin C. Many editors have this page on their watchlist and a good portion of them have the necessary background to discuss with you the relevance of such a change. Cheers, Pichpich (talk) 21:36, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
Question from Madrie05 on User:Madrie05 (04:19, 5 April 2024)
edithello how do i create a citation? --Madrie05 (talk) 04:19, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Madrie05 and welcome to Wikipedia. To create a citation, you can use the template {{Citation}} or more specific templates in Category:Citation Style 1 templates such as {{cite web}}. You also need to include this citation template in a <ref> ... </ref> pair to get a footnote. Perhaps you can tell me more about the specific citation you want to add and I can show you how it's done with that example. Cheers, Pichpich (talk) 17:25, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from Follow measure (06:36, 7 April 2024)
edithow to add images to wikipedia --Follow measure (talk) 06:36, 7 April 2024 (UTC)
- You can always read Help:Files but here's a quick recap. The first thing to do is to upload your image. Now I won't get into the fine details of image copyrights issues but basically, you should only add images that are free either because their copyright has expired or because their author has released under a free license or because you're the author of the image. In either case, you should be able to upload the image to Commons via its Upload Wizard (see "Upload file" in the column on the left.) Once this is done, your image will have some name "Foo". To include the image on an article, you can now add [[File:Foo|right|thumb|Caption]] (the first two parameters ensure that the image appears on the right and is not too large, the last is the image's caption.) Hope this helps. If you're still having trouble, do let me know. Cheers, Pichpich (talk) 15:52, 8 April 2024 (UTC)

editHi there, I am working as a 'paid editor' at the PR agency for the mathematician Hassan Ugail. I have tried to add some research to his page but am not allowed because I am being paid. How do I add these projects he is involved in, without bias, and without them being rejected? The citations are external sources, published by independent news outlets that have not been paid/received anything from us. Thanks --ARMontpellier (talk) 12:39, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- What you can do is suggest the changes on the talk page: Talk:Hassan Ugail. If they make sense, are written objectively and are well sourced, they will probably be implemented. Best, Pichpich (talk) 19:29, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

- Hi Memphis Babylon. All you need to do is go to the article you want to improve and click on the "edit" tab (top right). Make sure you preview your changes when you are editing your first few articles to check that your edit is ok. You can also use the sandbox to experiment a bit before you start editing articles.

Question from Angelinauk (19:50, 7 June 2024)
editI'm working on adding images to Wikipedia to illustrate articles, but I'm having trouble finding freely licensed or public domain images for certain topics, like Windows 10 S. Since I don't own Windows, it's challenging to create my own images. Do you have any advice on finding appropriate images that meet Wikipedia's requirements?"
Is this what you had in mind? --Angelinauk (talk) 19:50, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
- In the end, you just have to accept that some articles cannot be properly illustrated because Wikipedia is a free encyclopedia and that's not negotiable. In some cases, you can add a logo to an article because (Windows 10 is an example!) it does not meet the threshold of originality needed for copyright protection (see Commons:File:Windows_10_Logo.svg).

Question from Rockkeeper (18:52, 25 June 2024)
editI wish to add a link to an existing Wikipedia page (Avery County, North Carolina) to historical information about the area, located on Google Maps. I have included the origin of the information and the link to the interactive map journey, but my edit continues to be removed from the page. Any help will be appreciated. --Rockkeeper (talk) 18:52, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
- I think the concern is that this map is not considered a reliable source. Then again, external links don't need to be reliable sources, but there is a guideline describing what should and shouldn't be linked to. Instead of edit-warring by repeatedly reinserting the link, you should probably discuss its inclusion on the talk page Talk:Avery County, North Carolina and ask Washuotaku (talk · contribs) and Viewmont Viking (talk · contribs) why they feel that the link is inappropriate.

- Hi! If the name change is uncontroversial (say an obvious typo) then you can change the title by moving the page. Otherwise, you should go through a move request. Cheers, Pichpich (talk) 16:43, 28 June 2024 (UTC)

- Hi Kashandu. You created the page in your sandbox, which is fine but won't lead to the article being reviewed for publication. I have therefore moved the content to Draft:Sthembiso Shandu Mbatha. There, you can take your time to polish the article and, when you're ready, submit it for publication. Be patient because there's a bit of a backlog on draft reviews. If you're fed up with the delay, you can always contact me again. I don't usually do draft reviews but I'm certainly capable of doing so. Cheers, Pichpich (talk) 14:44, 16 July 2024 (UTC)

- Hi Nobelprize1234. I'm not sure what exactly you have in mind, but the philosophy of Wikipedia is basically that if you think your change makes the article better, then you should go ahead and make that change. If people disagree with your change, they might undo it, in which case you should both discuss the change and decide which is best. Cheers, Pichpich (talk) 16:01, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
