Question from Vgyhjkl (01:52, 17 September 2024)

هل يمكنني تعديل أي مصدر في الويكيبيديا بدون أن يتم حذفها؟ --Vgyhjkl (talk) 01:52, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

@Vgyhjkl مرحبًا. هذه ويكيبيديا باللغة الإنجليزية، ولا يمكنني الإجابة على الأسئلة إلا باللغة الإنجليزية. هل يمكنك توضيح ما تقصده باللغة الإنجليزية؟ Fathoms Below (talk) 03:27, 17 September 2024 (UTC)

Question from I can't think of a name so I'll use this one (19:34, 21 September 2024)

Hi, I want to merge some info from an article on Norwegian Wikipedia (https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liv_Mildrid_Gjernes) to the English version, but I'm not sure how to cross-reference the two. In addition, all of the sources listed in the Norwegian version are in print, which makes it difficult to track any of them down as I'm not in Norway and don't speak or read Norwegian. Sources on the web in English or Norwegian are very sparse. Do you have any advice on this? --I can't think of a name so I'll use this one (talk) 19:34, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi @I can't think of a name so I'll use this one. Did you see the page Help:Translation? Translating content from another Wikipedia to the English Wikipedia requires attribution (see here). It's usually highly discouraged to use raw machine translations if you don't know the language, so you might want to seek outside help in order to translate the content from Norwegian to English. Since I'm not very familiar with translations, maybe the teahouse might have some better advice? Fathoms Below (talk) 19:44, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Ok thanks, I haven't seen that page before. There's a lot to read here! I may leave the page as is then, as I don't actually have much knowledge of the subject. I was just hoping to improve it to an acceptable standard. I can't think of a name so I'll use this one (talk) 19:50, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Question from Ana Turashvili (11:14, 23 September 2024)

Hello, how do I translate an article into my language? do I create a new one ? --Ana Turashvili (talk) 11:14, 23 September 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Ana Turashvili. Help:Translation outlines the instructions on how to translate pages into English, though translating articles into your own language may require looking elsewhere. Which language are you looking to translate English Wikipedia articles into? The wiki for that language might have instructions on how to do that. Fathoms Below (talk) 03:25, 24 September 2024 (UTC)

Question from Usaama mahad apdirahman on Erdoğan Hospital (05:46, 1 October 2024)

Eya doctor --Usaama mahad apdirahman (talk) 05:46, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Usaama mahad apdirahman and welcome to Wikipedia. Are there any questions that you would like to ask me about how Wikipedia works? If you have any, I'll try to get you some answers. Fathoms Below (talk) 19:29, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from RunawaySlim on Beverly Garland (02:50, 3 October 2024)

Hello there mentor, I would like to edit this page but it's only giving me the option to edit something that is not what I want to change. It's basically giving me the option to edit the first couple of paragraphs of this entire entry. Am I to understand that the section that I would like to edit is not able to be edited?

Thanks Choggie --RunawaySlim (talk) 02:50, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi @RunawaySlim. That's strange, I'm not sure why that occurred. Could you try it one more time to see if you are able to edit the page by clicking on the "edit" button around the top of the page? You should be able to edit the entire page since it is not protected from editing, and you don't appear to be blocked. It might just be a technical issue on your end but I would recommend trying one more time just to be sure. Fathoms Below (talk) 19:46, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Husam.bell on Visa requirements for Canadian citizens (10:08, 3 October 2024)

Hello,

how I can edit the visa requirements map in order to change Syria and Cuba into evisa countries ? can you please help --Husam.bell (talk) 10:08, 3 October 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Husam.bell I'm not sure on how to label the map to show that Syria and Cuba are eVisa countries. Maybe you could ask at the teahouse for guidance? There are a lot of different users that may be able to help you change the map. Just make sure that your changes to the map are supported by reliable sources that can verify that Syria and Cuba require eVisas. Any other questions? You can ask both here on this page or at the teahouse as well. Fathoms Below (talk) 19:51, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
