Question from Cyrusriver (20:53, 29 July 2024)

edit

ive started reading wikipedia every day. There aren't too many instances where I notice that things can be written, less ambiguously, for example, but get this! Chatgpt rewrites things pretty well, and when I made an edit with chatgpt, it got reviewed and applied. It feels like I'm not the one editing the page. do you think that this is worth continuing? --Cyrusriver (talk) 20:53, 29 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

Cyrusriver , Be very, very careful when doing this, and make sure to say you are using chatgpt in your edit summary. Also make sure you're 100% certain that any ambiguities you find are resolved correctly by chatgpt, and just always closely review whatever chatgpt is saying. Definitely don't write any new articles using it. Zoozaz1 (talk) 03:55, 30 July 2024 (UTC)Reply

How do I create my citation? --Mulondo FineArtist25 (talk) 01:42, 8 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Mulondo FineArtist25, if you are using the visual editor, you can click the quotation mark on the toolbar at the top of the editing area, input the source, and then it will format the citation for you. Zoozaz1 (talk) 02:22, 8 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

OK after a quite frustrating experience, last question from me: How do I remove my account? BR, Andre --Al82237 (talk) 06:59, 23 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Al82237, you cannot delete your account (for copyright reasons), though for a similar process you can do Wikipedia:Courtesy vanishing. Zoozaz1 (talk) 07:42, 23 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Hm OK then abandoning seems to be the easiest option. Thanks a lot and good bye! Al82237 (talk) 07:59, 23 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Question from Beingherenow2 (18:28, 24 August 2024)

Hello! I have been drafting an article on Brian Seeger, Professor of Jazz Studies, at University of New Orleans. It was declined several times when first submitted last March. I have edited and revised it and it is waiting for review. I would love to get your impressions and suggestions on it as it seems to be stalled out in the process. Thank you in advance! --Beingherenow2 (talk) 18:28, 24 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Beingherenow2, looks good to me, especially since it passed the notability threshold, which is usually the hardest part. I would probably follow the comment that suggests deleting the performer credits, but it's up to you, probably not a big issue. Can't guarantee it will be approved of course, but looks good in terms of the NPOV/advertisement issues. Zoozaz1 (talk) 15:27, 27 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you SO much for looking at it. It has been frustrating since it was reviewed several times when I first submitted it and then NOTHING! I know the review process is backed up and I am fighting the urge to keep editing it but with your comment, I will just wait patiently for another review with fingers crossed that it is finally accepted.

Question from Tchawla5 (22:55, 27 August 2024)

edit

A person undid my changes and stopped responding. Any suggestions? --Tchawla5 (talk) 22:55, 27 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Tchawla5, it seems you received a response soon after you sent this message - in the future, perhaps make a post on the talk page of the article in question - Wikipedia is a volunteer project, so there is no obligation for editors to respond to messages.

Meowedits, it's been submitted for review, so now you can just wait for someone to review it, which could be from hours to months from now. Zoozaz1 (talk) 16:28, 1 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Question from Dr. Akhoury Onkar Nath (10:20, 14 September 2024)

edit

i want to create a page about myself where everything will be uploaded by my social media handling agency. Is it possible to do so? --Dr. Akhoury Onkar Nath (talk) 10:20, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Dr. Akhoury Onkar Nath, it might be possible, but there are two important conditions. Firstly, to be eligible for an article you must be WP:Notable, which means you have receieved significant coverage in reliable sources (such as newspapers). Secondly, they must disclose their payments by following the policy at WP:Paid. If they follow those guidelines, they can submit an article through WP:AFC. Zoozaz1 (talk) 11:55, 14 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Like source from news papers to create what ever i want to create and then what is this WP: Paid? I did not get your point. Dr. Akhoury Onkar Nath (talk) 10:31, 16 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Dr. Akhoury Onkar Nath, in the article you create, you must add sources that prove that you are notable, which means adding multiple reliable, independent sources with significant coverage of you. Secondly, you need to read through the article WP:Paid and follow the instructions listed there. Zoozaz1 (talk) 11:02, 16 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I am attempting to publish a Timeline, but it has been rejected because "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources." The material is from the files of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)--I serve on their History and Heritage Committee--and from IMechE, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (British). I have inserted a good number of references and will continue to add more--along with links to relevant Wiki pages, etc., and will be inviting other members of ASME's committee to do so as well. I had hoped to use this Wikipage to collaborate and provide useful content to future historians.

I have looked at a number of other Timelines and most seem to provide similar support and detail.

Can you provide me with more information on what you would like to see?

Also, is there a convenient way in which I could automatically search through the document for links to other Wiki pages, and insert them? With over 2,000 items on my list, this is a daunting task!

The page has been moved to this site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Timeline_of_mechanical_engineering_innovation#Nineteenth_Century

Any help would be most appreciated.

@TomahF: I'm not aware of such a tool, unfortunately; one thing I do suggest is going to gadgets and checking the box that turns disambiguation links orange. I would suggest resubmitting it after the disambiguation issue is fixed and more links are added. I didn't notice where it was sourced from originally, so that should be fine. One last thing, though. I noticed that some of your entries are copied word for word from various sites, which has to be changed to avoid a copyright violation. Other than that, the timeline seems good to go. (As a side note, make sure to sign your comment with 4 tildes like that ~~~~.) Zoozaz1 talk 13:39, 4 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your helpful suggestions. I'm finding the automatic insertion of color for disambiguation to be VERY helpful. I am in the process of fixing those bad links. I have also been adding numerous other links to Wiki articles and others, and adding references and some photographs.

Hopefully the page is shaping up.

All the best,
