Thank you

Thank you for pointing out to an aggressive editor on the Administrators Noticeboard that my edit to the article English Defence League (a copy edit, made merely to change tenses through the article to acknowledge in the body of the article that the EDL is defunct) was reasonable, as the article already says that it no longer exists.
That editor reverted my edit, and obviously I’m not going to get into an edit war with him, but as it stands his or her edit needs to be reverted. He also accused me of bigotry merely on the basis of my edit, which is sadly something no one has seen fit to take him up on.
Your comment went some way to restoring my faith in the good will of Wikipedia generally, so I wish you all the very best. Boscaswell talk 21:38, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Be that as it may, the talk page comment of yours that was initially flagged was a case of soapboxing, despite your assertion to the contrary as part of the comment. If you want to continue to contribute to the discussion at Talk:Reform UK#Political position of Reform UK, please stick to how reliable sources characterise the party rather than offering a justification of the views of its voters, which is contrary to WP:NOTFORUM.

Removal of a Contributed Section from an Existing Wikipedia Page

Hello @Cordless Larry

I received your message that you removed my contributions from the page Pakistani Diaspora stating the reason that no references were cited.

I rechecked my contributions and confirmed that I added the heading The Role of Pakistani Diasporas in Pakistan's Economic Growth. The first paragraph underneath the heading was properly cited with references. However, I missed citations for the sub-heading about Pakistan Remittance Initiative. I can add references to this sub-heading and its content. Will you revoke the removal so I can update the content? B.MorganUK (talk) 05:24, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome to restore it with references yourself. Please note that, despite the section heading you used, the first section didn't include any sourced material establishing a link between remittances and economic growth, so you might want to reconsider the heading. Just "Remittances" might be a better option. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:42, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cordless Larry I cited proper references for the first section. It might have been removed by some other contributor. I haven't received notification about it. However, I do have my backup for the contributed content and cited references. I'll restore the content soon.

I have a question and I seek your guidance for it!

What to do if I want to publish a standalone article? My Wikipedia Profile is fresh and just one and a half months old, with only 60+ edits. Do I need to keep contributing to existing articles for some time or I can directly go for a standalone article? What's Wikipedia Regulations for creating standalone articles???? B.MorganUK (talk) 10:10, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It had proper reference for the statistics but said nothing about the contribution to economic growth, so the heading seemed inappropriate and I removed it. If you want to restore it in a modified form, you can find it in the article history - no need to keep manual backups.

To create a new article, see Wikipedia:Articles for creation. If you have questions about this, the best place to ask is at Wikipedia:Teahouse. Cordless Larry (talk) 12:02, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cordless Larry Neither Wikipedia: Articles for creation nor Teahouse resolved/answered my query. I've searched and researched a lot to learn if there's any specific requirement regarding the number of edits/contributions on Wikipedia before someone can actually create a fresh standalone article.

My query is about the prerequisites for successfully creating a standalone article and not about the process on how to create a new article. I have been trying to publish an article for so long but it's being constantly declined every time with unique reasons and feedbacks from new editors. B.MorganUK (talk) 13:49, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You posted your previous Teahouse question at the wrong place (Wikipedia talk:Teahouse#Can I start another article if one article is already under review for publishing on Wikipedia?). Try directly at Wikipedia:Teahouse (not the talk page) instead. There is a minimum number of edits and days of registration after which you're allowed to create articles directly, but if you're having drafts declined, that's probably a sign that a directly published article will be at risk of deletion.

Adding
Not to be confused with Berbara.

Hello Cordless Larry, Wikipedia administrators,

I'am writing to express my point of view regards at the recent decision you make at Berbera article on Wikipedia. Your decision to Berbera Demographics, and has caused irreparable harm to Isamusa community from Somalia.

As you well aware, many articles are need to re-edit on wikipedia because not based reliable source or my need reproduce.

I try to re-edit but you added high user access level of editors.

I would like to discuss with you what caused the dispute of the article called Berbera. Jiilaal (talk) 16:46, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sincerely. Jiilaal (talk) 16:46, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I protected the article from editing because you and other editors were edit warring. You need to try to achieve consensus by discussing proposed changes on the article talk page. If you can't reach agreement, please see Wikipedia:Dispute resolution for your options. Cordless Larry (talk) 17:11, 18 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
