A barnstar for you!

The Oddball Barnstar
For getting Skibidi Toilet to Good Article status. Davest3r08 >:) (talk) 14:18, 1 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks Ca!

I understand your points. I anticipated many of your suggested corrections which stem from my lack of familiarity with wiki procedures such as referring to images that exist in attachments rather than copying public domain images and pasting them in a desirable spot using wiki process.

I was wondering if you would look over my entire suggested update in detail, modify it as necessary changing everything you notice into the perfect wiki way to incorporate my changes—-then produce the final Diamond crash wiki page will all changes incorporated that I could paste into my sandbox to confirm that it corresponds to my intentions—then I would make the final update by pasting my sandbox after selecting all of the existing source code for the Diamond crash page. No rush, at your convenience.

I really don’t want to study wiki to do this and would compensate you if necessary for eliminating this headache for me. Cresterest (talk) 02:09, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Sure, I can help you with wiki markup and formatting. I don't blame you for not wanting to mess with it - it takes a while to learn. I don't think there is no need to upload the images themselves, just linking them in the external links section is fine. I just disliked the constant referencing of another section since the broke the flow of the prose.
I'll be formatting your proposed change in your sandbox if it is ok for you. Cheers, ♠ Ca talk to me! 15:13, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
Thank you so much. However I do want the images to appear without navigating, as I think they are essential to understanding/feeling the loss. If you would please locate the crash impact scar image appropriately beneath the image of the aircraft flying in formation.
I will look for my sandbox when you notify you are complete. Cresterest (talk) 12:28, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
Ca I will keep monitoring my sandbox:

February 2024 WikiProject Unreferenced articles backlog drive – award

Citation Barnstar

This award is given in recognition to Ca/Archives/2024 for collecting more than 1 point during the WikiProject Unreferenced articles's FEB24 backlog drive. Your contributions played a crucial role in sourcing 14,300 unsourced articles during the drive. Thank you so much for participating and helping to reduce the backlog! – – DreamRimmer (talk) 17:39, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited The Glass Scientists, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Historical science. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Question from Bhattdipesh (09:47, 15 March 2024)

Hello, can you help me out i have a concern about creating a business page. i don't know the initial steps --Bhattdipesh (talk) 09:47, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi, the help page WP:Your First Article might be useful for you. ♠ Ca talk to me! 05:18, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Question from Sara246santos (18:28, 18 March 2024)

Hi, I made a draft wikipedia page Kenneth S Breuer, a professor at Brown University. How do I know it's being reviewed? --Sara246santos (talk) 18:28, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi, it seems that you moved the article to the mainspace (that is where all our articles reside), but was returned to a draft status by a New Page Patroller, whose job is to monitor new articles. Wikipedia processes can be convoluted,
I don't blame you for missing this, but editors with a conflict of interest should have their drafts be reviewed through the WP:Articles for Creation process, where it will be reviewed before publishing.
As for the draft itself, I recommend adding sources to verify claims like his fellowships. Exceptional claims like At the micron scale, he pioneered the mechanics of bacterial motility and flagellar mechanics, the nanoscale flow near a moving contact line, and the development of nanoscale velocimetry techniques. require verification from independent sources, not just the papers themselves. ♠ Ca talk to me! 23:37, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
I just realized I forgot to actually answer your question. Currently, your draft is not being reviewed, as evidenced by the box on top of your draft page. To submit it for review, click the blue button and follow the instructions. ♠ Ca talk to me! 23:58, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

"Ami Dror"

Draft:Ami Dror

As Israeli, I find it absurde that the English page about this person is defined by you as "not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia.". Dror is one of the key leaders in Israel, Personaly I'm part of a comunitry of close to 100,000 people that follow him daily on his whatsapp groups. (check is social media) - he is being quated and interviewed almost every day etc etc. https://x.com/faniaoz/status/1771595428573712817?s=20

I edited parts that were wrong, and this page need to be restored ASAP as it makes Wikipedia looks like a political tool which tries to hide the people that are working to change the Israeli goverment.

Thank you, Gili2011 (talk) 07:25, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi, I see that Omert and you are continuing to work on the draft. If you want the draft to be considered another time, you should contact the editor who rejected the draft User talk:Scope creep and ask for reconsideration.
Some suggestion: Try to reduce the links to sources affiliated with Dror himself(like his business or published books) and replace them with independent sources. Some sentences has WP:OVERCITE issues or sound promotional. Words like "leading" need attribution (according to whom?).
