Question from Hud Evgen (14:00, 7 January 2023)

Hello! Please tell me: I want to create a page in the wiki of the same platform for developers and clients. The main task of the platform is to provide customers with proven developers for their projects. Like Upwork for example. Only we are a young company from Ukraine. How to do this correctly so that the page is not deleted? Thank you --Hud Evgen (talk) 14:00, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

Question from Hud Evgen (07:06, 25 January 2023)

Thank you. We are waiting for an answer to a question regarding the placement of a page about the company, about its activities. There are also links to authoritative sources. --Hud Evgen (talk) 07:06, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

@Hud Evgen Familiarize yourselves with the established rules - I am bored about saying the same things over and over, but will also provide a short answer below. The fastest start point is this page, and it'll guide through a complete tutorial. Be bold, create the draft, submit it, and realize that you did mistakes - that's how you learn about it.
Basically, you should provide that the company is notable for inclusion in an encyclopedia like Wikipedia. And for that, your company needs significant coverage from reliable sources. As long as you can provide that, create the draft and submit it. ahmetlii ✉ (Please ping me on a reply!) 22:02, 25 January 2023 (UTC)

WikiCup 2023 March newsletter

So ends the first round of the 2023 WikiCup. Everyone with a positive score moved on to Round 2, with 54 contestants qualifying. The top scorers in Round 1 were:

  • Unlimitedlead with 1205 points, a WikiCup newcomer, led the field with two featured articles on historical figures and several featured article candidate reviews.
  • New York (state) Epicgenius was in second place with 789 points; a seasoned WikiCup competitor he specialises in buildings and locations in New York.
  • Germany FrB.TG was in third place with 625 points, garnered from a featured article on a filmmaker which qualified for an impressive number of bonus points.
  • United States TheJoebro64, another WikiCup newcomer, came next with 600 points gained from two featured articles on video games.
  • Byzantine Empire Iazyges was in fifth place with 532 points, from two featured articles on classical history.

The top sixteen contestants at the end of Round 1 had all scored over 300 points; these included Berkelland LunaEatsTuna, Thebiguglyalien, Sammi Brie, New England Trainsandotherthings, England Lee Vilenski, Indonesia Juxlos, Unexpectedlydian, Washington (state) SounderBruce, Wales Kosack, BennyOnTheLoose and Chicago PCN02WPS. It was a high-scoring start to the competition.

These contestants, like all the others, now have to start again from scratch. The first round finished on February 26. Remember that any content promoted after that date but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Some contestants made claims before the new submissions pages were set up, and they will need to resubmit them. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed.

If you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to keep down the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Question from Fitzpajm on User:Fitzpajm/Sample page (16:09, 27 June 2023)

Hello. I've had a membership for years, but I tried to edit a page for the first time today. I keep getting a message that I'm blocked. Can you tell me why and what to do to get unblocked, please? --J. Michael Fitzpatrick Fitzpajm (talk) 16:09, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

@Fitzpajm Hello and sorry for the late reply.
If that's an IP ban (your account doesn't seem to have any bans), it's probably an unintended message. In such situation, you may try changing your IP address via connecting into mobile data (if available) or depending on your ISP's policies, you may try rebooting the modem (assuming it's Carrier-grade NAT) ahmetlii ✉ (Please ping me on a reply!) 13:08, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

Question from DeepOwls (20:27, 16 August 2023)

Hi! I'd like to add an article, but I'm not sure how to get started... is editing the same as adding a net new contribution? Thanks! --DeepOwls (talk) 20:27, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

(by talk page watcher) Hi there! Since Ahmetlii hasn't answered your question in a while, I'm here to help you. I recommend reading WP:YFA which has what you're looking for. I won't repeat the whole page. but basically, the subject of the article has to be notable in terms of Wikipedia and all information on the article must be verifiable through reliable, independent sources (with significant coverage). WP:42 is a good place to get started.

Good luck! If you need any help, Ahmetlii will likely respond here at some point, but my talk page and the Teahouse are open too. Have a nice day! NotAGenious (talk) 14:29, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

User:Ahmetlii/"the whole explanation of world"

Hi Ahmetlii! As this userspace essay has a quotation mark at the start of its title, it is currently being sorted around the top of Category:User essays, rather than under T. Because of this, would you object if a {{DEFAULTSORT}} magic word was added?

All the best, user:A smart kittenmeow 11:45, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

@A smart kitten no, that would be for good. Thanks for reporting, it should have been fixed right now. ahmetlii ✉ (Please ping me on a reply!) 18:56, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Question from Pinehillwetu (16:40, 19 September 2023)

Hey! I had a question, how come accurately sourced edits are being removed for a lack of consensus? What is the importance placed on consensus when it gets in the way of facts? --Pinehillwetu (talk) 16:40, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

@Pinehillwetu I don't know the situation about reverts, and thus I am afraid I cannot be able to help as I am currently actively avoiding to be an arbiter on any disputes. Please contact and discuss the situation with the user(s) who have reverted the edits. I think they should provide a reason for that. If they do not in a reasonable manner, please let me know and I would look into it. ahmetlii ✉ (Please ping me on a reply!) 19:09, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Question from GunseliBilge (08:36, 21 September 2023)

Hi, I work for a boutique consulting firm that has a strong and unique history + culture. I thought it might be interesting to open a page and explain this but was not sure if this is a topic appropriate for Wikipedia. I read the guideline yet I still have doubts. Can I get your opinion? --GunseliBilge (talk) 08:36, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

@GunseliBilge Hello, I guess that you'd like to open a page for the company. it would be OK if you clearly establish the conflict of interest; and if the page ensures verifiability, and other content criteria. But Wikipedia is not LinkedIn anyway, so it doesn't really matter at the end if it doesn't qualify company notability criteria or you cannot supply any other necessary content criteria. ahmetlii ✉ (Please ping me on a reply!) 19:31, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Question from 123WasTaken (21:34, 16 September 2023)

should I edit local villages and towns near me's page? --123WasTaken (talk) 21:34, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

@123WasTaken This is something one should judge by themselves. If you are concerned about outing, then it would be wise to rather not. There's also another reason for that, called as the "conflict of interest"; however it should not be much of a problem if you can clearly distinguish that and avoid such situation interfering your edits. ahmetlii ✉ (Please ping me on a reply!) 19:02, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
thank you for your help! 123WasTaken (talk) 21:52, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Question from Cheryl Louise Rogers Philips (16:27, 30 October 2023)

Hello, 

 Are there any articles regarding Female Professional Umpires for JUA and FHSAA Men's Baseball ? I was an active Female fast pitch Men's Baseball for 27 years. Is there any documentation regarding this subject? --Cheryl Louise Rogers Philips (talk) 16:27, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
@Cheryl Louise Rogers Philips I don't really know, there are more than a million articles in Wikipedia. Not joking. So your best bet is searching in the pages. ahmetlii ✉ (Please ping me on a reply!) 17:54, 31 October 2023 (UTC)
