@FlightTime: that's the working one... it's not the one you're loading in your vector.js. Elli (talk | contribs) 02:36, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Hrspks (08:46, 4 June 2024)

Hello! I started on Wikipedia because I noticed a couple of articles missing from the Hungarian site, that I wanted to translate. I also see many opportunities for the opposite, there is a lot of information about Hungary and it's culture that is not translated to English. I would really like to translate some of these, but I do not yet have permissions to add translations to English Wikipedia.

What are the steps for getting there? I did start making edits adding information to English Wikipedia where I can, but I don't understand the process that well. --Hrspks (talk) 08:46, 4 June 2024 (UTC)

@Hrspks: hi! I'd suggest making more minor edits first, to get somewhat acquainted with how editing works around here. You could also expand Hungary-related articles we have without doing a direct translation; I think this would help you understand the article-writing process better, which is a good thing to understand before doing translations of articles from other languages.

Please let me know if there's something specific you'd like help with. Elli (talk | contribs) 04:33, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Template editing query

Hello -- with your template editing hat on, I wonder if you could take a look at Template talk:Infobox poem#Oral poetry? I think similar features already exist in e.g. Template:Infobox military person, but I'm not sure I'm able (both permissions-wise and technically) to replicate them here. Would be a great help with the Homeric Hymns article, and other ancient poems of similar authorship. UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 10:02, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

@UndercoverClassicist: looks like you've figured this out yourself already? Sorry that I wasn't responsive faster. Elli (talk | contribs) 04:31, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Yup, I think so - don't think I managed to break it! No worries on the response time; I know you've been a little busy UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 10:21, 8 June 2024 (UTC) UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 10:21, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

How to be an Admin

How do I become an admin? Chris denny 4840 (talk) 10:54, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

• (talk page watcher) @Chris denny 4840: Edit quietly, be polite, talk only when spoken to, chew your food with your mouth closed, and then come back and ask in five years. It's a very long-term process. Happy editing! ——Serial Number 54129 16:45, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

  @Serial Number 54129 Thanks for the information! Chris denny 4840 (talk) 06:56, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

  But I've seen some people become admins with just 2 years experience? 5 years is a bit much. Soapforduck(Say what?)(Did what?) 08:59, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

File:Locarno77.webp

FYI this didn't technically qualify for F1 as F1 requires the file be in the same file format. No reason you should have known that as a new admin, really, and no point in undeleting since it will just get deleted as F5 in a week if you do, but note for the future. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 17:33, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Sean Rabbitt

What is the deal with this article? It was deleted, but then re-created? How similar are the two versions? Bgsu98 (Talk) 02:35, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

@Bgsu98: it was deleted back in 2015; that article had no inline references (and many of the references in the current article are from after 2015). So it isn't "substantially identical" to the deleted version. Elli (talk | contribs) 02:39, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from DJ Riyana (23:39, 9 June 2024)

How to add a profile picture here --DJ Riyana (talk) 23:39, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

@DJ Riyana: Wikipedia doesn't have profile pictures; we are not a social network, and while people can have user pages, the point of them is to aid in collaboration, not to socialize. Elli (talk | contribs) 23:44, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

@QuicoleJR: thanks! I sure hope so. Elli (talk | contribs) 20:22, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Congrats from me too! And a question. I'm curious whether the new, trial, RfA process played any role in your decision to be an RfA candidate at this time? And did you feel that it did anything to improve, or worsen, your experience during the process? Thanks. --Tryptofish (talk) 23:23, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

@Tryptofish: yeah, for a few reasons: I felt like the new system would be a bit less scary, and also I wanted to run as it looked like the trial was gonna get prematurely scuttled due to the few unsuccessful RfAs that took place on it (so I wanted another testcase that was a bit more likely to succeed). As for my thoughts on how it went... some good, some bad. I liked the ability to answer questions and concerns without worrying about a flood of opposes due to my delay in getting to them... but it felt like the discussion-only period went on a bit too long. Elli (talk | contribs) 23:29, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks so much! That's very informative. I'm going to refer to this at the page where the trial is being discussed, because I think a lot of other editors will be interested as well. --Tryptofish (talk) 23:32, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from GdLazr (22:12, 14 June 2024)

Hi,

I'd a dev at Lazr.io and I was currently thinking of creating a page about our company in Wikipedia.

I already know that it needs to be FACTUAL, no promo. Is there anything else special to take into consideration to make it live?

Thanks! --GdLazr (talk) 22:12, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

@GdLazr: hi. It's strongly discouraged for you to make a page for your company at all, as you have an inherent conflict of interest. If you do make such an article, you would need sufficient reliable sources to meet WP:CORPDEPTH, a pretty high bar. Elli (talk | contribs) 22:16, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

ok I see. Only very big companies can afford a place on Wikipedia. Thanks! GdLazr (talk) 22:25, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

Is it the same principle if I write an article about a software? An online web application specialized for the transportation industry? Even though it will be FACTURAL without promo? GdLazr (talk) 22:27, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

@GdLazr: it's not about company size, and pages do not cost anything. However, we have high notability standards for companies and products because otherwise we would have articles on tons of completely non-remarkable companies which would be a nightmare to maintain and make Wikipedia pretty much just an advertising platform. Elli (talk | contribs) 22:28, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

ok I understand. You need to filter them out and that's a good thing because that's what make Wikipedia a reliable source of infos. Thanks!

But for a real live product on the net, with real clients and real partners, well established. Would it require as much as a Buiness? I mean, Studies, etc.? GdLazr (talk) 22:33, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

@GdLazr: the guidelines for notability there are similar, yeah. WP:NPRODUCT explains it. Elli (talk | contribs) 22:35, 14 June 2024 (UTC)

ok thanks! GdLazr (talk) 12:36, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Hanni article moved to main space

I noticed that you moved her article to the main space. Could you share your reasoning behind this decision? Btspurplegalaxy 💬 🖊️ 23:41, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

@Btspurplegalaxy: yes. The AFC reviewer indicated that they wanted the article moved to mainspace, so I did it on their behalf. Elli (talk | contribs) 23:44, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Tabeinai (09:19, 17 June 2024)

Hi Ellie, We are a mindfulness brand who is going to launch the business soon. We want to create a page on wikipedia explaining brand ethos and philosophy and most importantly the meaning of its name "Tabeinai" which stems from "Take a breath" and "einai" to be. We are not sure if that is within the listing guidelines of wikipedia --Tabeinai (talk) 09:19, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

@Tabeinai: hi and thanks for reaching out. I recommend not doing so as you have a conflict of interest. However, the guideline to check is going to be WP:NCORP, which in practice is a pretty high bar. Elli (talk | contribs) 23:59, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

@Elli Hello and thank you for the advice. Tabeinai (talk) 10:46, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
