Question from Kathytran2000 (19:58, 26 December 2024)

Can you please take a look at my sandbox and let me know how to improve? Much appreciated --Kathytran2000 (talk) 19:58, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Kathytran2000, sure. The first thing I notice is that there is a lot of content on the page that isn't about Vuong exactly, but is instead about his businesses and their activities. Make sure that the content you add, and the sources you use, are just about him. It's fine to say Eric also invested in HanaGold... or HanaGold was featured on Shark Tank Vietnam..., if the sources talk about Vuong as an investor, but saying critics question the long-term scalability and broader market impact of the platform is content that would belong on a hypothetical article about HanaGold, not Vuong. If sources don't discuss Vuong specifically, the content probably does not belong on this page. The same applies to the paragraph about FUNDGO--all of the description of the fund and it's impact should be removed unless the sources you have added specifically discuss Vuong. Start there, and then I'll do my best to look at some of the sources. Alyo (chat·edits) 18:29, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your time and valuable input, I'll have them fixed. Kathytran2000 (talk) 17:27, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please take a look again to see if it's okay to be published as an article? I'm getting used to wiki and loving it. Again, your time is greatly appreciated! Kathytran2000 (talk) 17:50, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Kathytran2000, so as I said before, there was a lot of content that wasn't about Vuong. I went ahead and removed a lot of it, just to give an indication of the kind of content that isn't right for Wikipedia--or at least a Wikipedia article about Vuong. And furthermore, when I open many of the remaining sources in the article, I see lots of places where Vuong is quoted as a general manager/founder, but almost no sources about him. Can you send me the best 2-3 sources discussing Vuong himself? Alyo (chat·edits) 15:27, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks.

These articles focusing about him and his philosophy but in Vietnamese

So I largely agree with the comments left by @Qcne that these still feel very promotional in tone, and none of the websites appear to be established news organizations--although I realize that may be asking a lot. I'm using basic online translations, but these articles could easily have been written by his own team, rather than an independent journalist. Alyo (chat·edits) 06:08, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve conducted research on this individual, and his work is largely represented through his projects and companies. I can provide you with several sources authored by reputable news organizations, including established and well-known outlets, as well as some run by government entities:

He also recently spoke at an international event along with the Deputy Minister of Science and Technology of Vietnam. https://vsta.org.vn/viet-nam-se-xay-dung-co-che-uu-dai-chao-don-doanh-nghiep-doi-moi-sang-tao-han-quoc-24388.html

I put lot of works on this article and just not quite get it, for instance, there are some articles that didn't fully meet the criteria and still got accepted. For instance: these people didn't get any ref or media coverage and is a bit strange: https://vi.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C5%A9_V%C4%83n_Quy%E1%BA%BFt

https://vi.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nguy%E1%BB%85n_V%C4%83n_Bi%E1%BB%83n

Kindly help me revise this so it meets the requirements while incorporating all the current sources. I’m also working on drafts about other companies but facing challenges as some articles are not being treated the same. Could it be because of the reviewers? Kathytran2000 (talk) 16:34, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kathytran2000 be that as it may, that's not how notability works on Wikipedia. We require coverage about the individual, not their ventures or companies. As to those other articles on Vietnamese Wikipedia, all I can say is that we are a different project and rules may be different. I have no authority or knowledge of how volunteers run things over there. Alyo (chat·edits) 15:29, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from KofiAbbynash (06:21, 30 December 2024)

Is possible to save new words I learnt for future reference? --KofiAbbynash (talk) 06:21, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @KofiAbbynash, what do you mean "save new words"? Alyo (chat·edits) 15:03, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @KofiAbbynash, I can only answer questions about editing wikipedia, and it sounds like you might be learning a language? Alyo (chat·edits) 17:25, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Siganderman (21:26, 1 January 2025)

Hi Alyo - I'd like to add some content to my wikipedia article that includes a book I wrote and which was published, as well as a documentary about my life. How do I include the necessary citations? --Siganderman (talk) 21:26, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Siganderman, editing articles about yourself is strongly discouraged for conflict of interest reasons, and will often lead to a quick ban. Instead, the best thing is to make suggestions on the article's talk page, and add {{edit COI}} to the request so that other editors are made aware of your request. What article are you asking about?

Question from Jom9r (09:00, 9 January 2025)

Hello, i have no idea what it is going to be. Editing is not me, my question is how to edit? --Jom9r (talk) 09:00, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Jom9r, I can only answer questions about this website, where people add information to share with others. However, the page Talk:Revenue service is not a place to contact your local revenue service, and you should not ask questions there if you need help. Wikipedia is just a place to learn general information, not get specific help with a problem. Alyo (chat·edits) 17:40, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from AstronomyKid1 (16:36, 13 January 2025)

Greetings, I am in need of aid. How do I find a reliable source for a webpage I want to contribute to? --AstronomyKid1 (talk) 16:36, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @AstronomyKid1, it depends on what you're looking for? What article are you working on? Alyo (chat·edits) 18:18, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am looking at a overview of astronomy pages, and want to add sites to contribute. One of them was of a German astrophysicist, whom I cannot remember the name of. AstronomyKid1 (talk) 18:47, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Hajo_Leschke&gesuggestededit=1 AstronomyKid1 (talk) 18:48, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @AstronomyKid1, sorry for the delay in response. That's a great task to work on! I will say that finding sources for academics is one of the most difficult categories on Wikipedia, because academics write a lot, but not a lot is written about them. That said, I usually just start by googling topics, or maybe searching specifically on Google Books/Google Scholar. A longer list of suggestions is at Help:Find sources. Alternatively, Are you asking about how to identify reliable sources, versus unreliable sources? One other thing to know is that editors on Wikipedia have access to WP:The Wikipedia Library, which gives you access to various academic databases and searches. Alyo (chat·edits) 04:28, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much! AstronomyKid1 (talk) 13:02, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! I've given you a couple of dense links, so let me know if you have more questions or I can explain anything in more detail. Alyo (chat·edits) 14:05, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from R0bsonFil0 (01:01, 15 January 2025)

Hello, Alyo. I'd like to know if it's possible to translate some article to another language and label de translated page with some sort of indication that the page is a translation of the original article instead of write a new article. For instance, i want to translate the german article for Otto Liebman to portuguese. --R0bsonFil0 (talk) 01:01, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @R0bsonFil0, yup, that's absolutely allowed, although I can only speak to the policies on the English Wikipedia, not the Portuguese one. The policy for translating other articles into English is here: WP:Translation. The Portuguese WP page may have different policies (check here: pt:Wikipédia:Tradução), but the instructions on the English policy page may still be a good place to start generally. One important step is here: Help:Translation#Licensing. You usually have to add a statement to the edit summary of your edit explaining where the translation came from. Let me know if you have any questions. Alyo (chat·edits) 00:02, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Indianfootballfan29 (13:00, 27 January 2025)

Hello! I've been working on a draft for Nathan Rodrigues, but that hadn't been approved. However, recently a page for Nathan Rodrigues has been approved but it doesn't have any content on it. Can I copy-paste my draft content onto that page? Or should I re-write all the content from scratch to make the page up-to-date? --Indianfootballfan29 (talk) 13:00, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Indianfootballfan29, yup, you can go ahead and add in the content you wrote onto the new page. I’m not quite sure what you mean by “rewrite all the content”—right now there’s very little content on the new page, so if you go ahead and paste in all of the sources and text you added, it would be a dramatic expansion and wouldn’t really be any different than you replacing the two lines that are there now. But you don’t need to paste in the infobox and maintenance templates? Is that what you mean? Alyo (chat·edits) 21:43, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see, I'll keep an eye on it 93, thank you. Alyo (chat·edits) 22:27, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I think my question was a little unclear when I asked it. What I meant was that I'd made a draft about the page earlier, but that hadn't been approved yet. That draft had more matter than the current page currently has, with more information about the subject added as well. I wasn't sure if I could take all the material I initially wrote on the draft that's pending approval, and put it onto the bare page currently up to make it more coherent. By "rewrite all the content", I meant the content on the draft - use the same sources but write new matter.

Just to confirm, would it be fine to add the pending approval draft's content to the page currently up? Indianfootballfan29 (talk) 05:13, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Indianfootballfan29 yes, to be clear, the only option remaining is to take the content you wrote for Draft:Nathan Rodrigues and add it into Nathan Rodrigues. How you choose to do that is largely up to you. I would not re-do all my previous work, but you completely can if you want. If you want to just copy the content from Draft:Nathan Rodrigues, what I would do is add a note in the edit summary just saying "This content is being merged/copied from Draft:Nathan Rodrigues" so that other people know your originally worked on it there. If I were you, I would take the sections "Youth career", "Club career", and "Career statistics" and just add those to the existing article. Alyo (chat·edits) 14:56, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thank you so much for the help and advice! Indianfootballfan29 (talk) 17:14, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Sunwelltheband (23:42, 29 January 2025)

Hi there! So I have a quick question. I am hoping to create a wikipedia page for my band, Sunwell, so that people can easily find information about us. I intend to keep the language neutral per the guidelines. I haven't seen anything conclusive about whether that would be allowed. As for citations for this information, would music publications we've featured in (even if they're small or local) be sufficient? --Sunwelltheband (talk) 23:42, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
