Question from Harakeke007 (08:23, 7 October 2024)

[edit]

Hello. A wikipedia profile page was set up in my name without prior notification. This came as a surprise and I now need to complete the profile. Currently my academic publications have been directly imported from the (very incomplete) scholia list and I don't know how to format those that should be added so would appreciate guidance. Is it usual for people to set up wikipedia profiles without notifying the subjects? --Harakeke007 (talk) 08:23, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Harakeke007: First of all, I would recommend you to not make edits directly to the page yet - our standards can differ from what you might expect, and it is strongly discouraged for subjects to edit the article directly, for one.
You can suggest edits by going to the talk page of the article, accessible through the "Talk" tab at the top, and get comments from other editors. Rusty 🐈 23:36, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Harakeke007 (20:00, 7 October 2024)

[edit]

Hello, as per yesterday's question, I'm puzzled that someone is able to set up a wikipedia profile for a subject without their being notified. My attempts to correct/ edit/ expand upon the profile established for me without forewarning have been removed as they're considered to be a conflict of interest. I have no way of contacting the original author, whose intentions are worthy but whose process seems questionable from the subject's viewpoint. Please advise urgently. --Harakeke007 (talk) 20:00, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Harakeke007: Wikipedia is like an encyclopedia. We summarize what reliable sources say, so if you want to make a change, suggest on the "Talk" tab with some sources please. Rusty 🐈 23:44, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Rusty Cat: I know you're away at school right now. Not sure where you are or what level you're at, but I noticed you edited my userpage. I've been editing since 2007. Been active since 2016. I have my students edit Wikipedia at the University at Albany in New York State. I wanted to let you know that it's NOT usually ok to edit other people's userpage. It's like editing another person's Facebook posts. Instead you make suggestions on their talk page only. But I appreciated you fixing the links about my ancestors and their escape on the Underground Railroad. sheridanford (talk) 21:12, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:EMulate Therapeutics

[edit]

Hello, Rusty Cat. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "EMulate Therapeutics".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 23:00, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Davidenkosrg (14:31, 26 October 2024)

[edit]

Hello! how could I change from English to Romanian to make it easier for me to edit ? --Davidenkosrg (talk) 14:31, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Davidenkosrg: If you want to change the language of the Wikipedia interface (like buttons and menus) to Romanian you can do so in your preferences. The articles will still be in English, and you will still have to learn how to edit Wikipedia in English. If you want to edit in Romanian, I would recommend checking out the Romanian version of Wikipedia, which has both the interface and articles in Romanian. Rusty 🐈 15:14, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Librari minish (10:53, 28 October 2024)

[edit]

Hi Rusty, I created this account so I could update the European XFEL's company logo of their wiki page since it is quite old. I have uploaded a svg version of the logo in commons, with the proper name. Not sure if I have to take more steps so the changes take effect.

Apologies for such a beginners' question, thanks in advance for your help. --Librari minish (talk) 10:53, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Librari minish: No worries; we all start somewhere. The previous version of the logo in Commons was a png, so you will need to go into the XFEL article on Wikipedia and change the filename from ending in ".png" to ".svg". Rusty 🐈 13:48, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

New page reviewer granted

[edit]

Hi Rusty Cat, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the new page reviewer user right to your account. This means you now have access to the page curation tools and can start patrolling pages from the new pages feed. If you asked for this at requests for permissions, please check back there to see if your access is time-limited or if there are other comments.

This is a good time to re-acquaint yourself with the guidance at Wikipedia:New pages patrol. Before you get started, please take the time to:

You can find a list of other useful links and tools for patrollers at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Resources. If you are ever unsure what to do, ask your fellow patrollers or just leave the page for someone else to review – you're not alone! signed, Rosguill talk 17:40, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
