The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

Question from VampireEmpire mp3 (21:13, 19 November 2024)

this isn't really about editing I suppose, but could I write about myself? --VampireEmpire mp3 (talk) 21:13, 19 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi, you can write an introduction on your page, or if you meet Wikipedia:BIO you can create an article about yourself, but I highly recommend reading Wikipedia:COI first. Hope this helps, Encoded  Talk 💬 09:21, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you!

Hi Encoded!

Thanks very much for your help with changes to Dashun Wang's page. I really appreciate it. The article is much improved! I think I've tagged you on his talk page (Talk:Dashun Wang) in response to your question and in an additional request. Please let me know if you need any more information from me.

Thanks again! Moose181 (talk) 23:25, 18 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi sorry for taking so long to get back to you! I'm about to head off to work so it may take me a few hours to get round to it but I'll take a look later today! Thanks, Encoded  Talk 💬 09:55, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

Bybit

Hi, could you check the Bybit article? It was previously deleted through an AfD discussion that you initiated about a year ago. I'm wondering if the article's content has since been improved. Ckfasdf (talk) 23:20, 22 November 2024 (UTC)

A quick note in this topic. That article has now been renominated for deletion; see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bybit (2nd nomination). I am notifying all participants in the previous AfD. Thanks. Dclemens1971 (talk) 18:15, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from RMLLx (04:24, 26 November 2024)

How do I write an article --RMLLx (talk) 04:24, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Hey @RMLLx so sorry for taking so long to get back to you, is there a specific element of writing you need help with? The welcome message I've placed on your talk page should have some links you'll find useful. Thanks, Encoded  Talk 💬 00:38, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Question from Dgonzal8nscc (12:40, 5 December 2024)

Good morning, I am wondering what I need to do to get some help on edits I am doing on an article for a college page. There is someone who continues to undo all my edits and the information that is currently there is not accurate. --Dgonzal8nscc (talk) 12:40, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Dgonzal8nscc, welcome to Wikipedia! Since you're an employee of the college you have a conflict of interest, and I highly recommend reading Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. I noticed that you've started a conversation with another editor on the talk page, and I'd advise you continue to work with them there to resolve the issues, if you need an extra pair or eyes please ping me a message and I'll drop by!

Since you have a COI, you need to request edits to a page that you're connected to. You can do this at Wikipedia:Edit Request Wizard, this will then be reviewed by one of the edit request reviewers (I'm one too, so if you have trouble please feel free to message me!) who will decide if it should be added, or provide feedback to improve it.

The welcome message on your talk page may also be helpful in starting out as well!

If you have any questions I'm here to help! Encoded  Talk 💬 00:37, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Citation needed banners

You may think sticking such banners on articles is a useful thing, I do not. Essentially, it is just saying that something is incomplete, but I cannot be bothered to fix it. Instead I will stick a great big ugly banner on an article and some other schmuck can do the work. Try fixing problems, rather than just highlighting them. Then you will be doing something that is really useful. Urselius (talk) 17:34, 7 December 2024 (UTC)

Hello, please may I ask which articles you are referring to? It may be that I did not have time to complete the section but still wished to flag it for later, which is what these banners may be used for. Instead of posting messages like these on my talk page may I suggest that if you have a problem with the banner, you may decide to resolve the issue, or instead place a polite message reminding me to go back over it, then you will be doing something that is really useful.

Question from GalacticAlpaca (00:20, 11 December 2024)

How do you create a wikipedia page? I’m having some trouble. --GalacticAlpaca (talk) 00:20, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Question from Alex Espejel Calderon (15:06, 12 December 2024)

Hi there! I'm Alex and I've edited articles before but I recently created an account because I wish to provide a plot summary in the article for the film 'The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirriim' which I watched already. How can I request to be allowed to edit a semiprotected article? Many thanks in advance! --Alex Espejel Calderon (talk) 15:06, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, you can request permissions or open an edit request at the Edit Request Wizard. Hope this helps! Encoded  Talk 💬 12:34, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Question from Igordimension (12:49, 20 December 2024)

Hi, thanks for being around to help. I am completely new to this, so have a lot of questions, my first area of ignorance is what the correct protocol is for references.

Thanks again! --Igordimension (talk) 12:49, 20 December 2024 (UTC)
