Welcome, WikipedianAncientHistorian!

Welcome to Wikipedia, WikipedianAncientHistorian! I'm Bsoyka, and I've been assigned as your mentor. About half of new Wikipedia accounts receive a mentor chosen randomly from a list of volunteers. It just means I'm here to help with anything you need! We need to have all kinds of people working together to create an online encyclopedia, so I'm glad you're here. Over time, you will figure out what you enjoy doing the most on Wikipedia.

You might have noticed that you have access to a tutorial and suggested edits. It's recommended that you take advantage of this, as it'll make learning how to edit Wikipedia easier.

If you need assistance with anything or have any questions, click on the "Get editing help" button on the bottom right corner of your screen. This will open up a module with links to help pages and a place to ask me questions. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or go here to get help from the wider community.

Again, welcome to Wikipedia! Bsoyka (t • c • g) 02:28, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

hey Bsoyaka,

Entered the contents of the link and it just gave me the suggested edits, not the tutorial. I forgot about this for a while, lol, so I might have already taken it. Sorry for bothering you, lol, but, how do you make an article? have a lot to contribute!

Yours truly,

Speedy deletion nomination of The Time A Black Bear Nearly Caused Nuclear War

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing hoaxes, such as The Time A Black Bear Nearly Caused Nuclear War, is considered to be vandalism and is prohibited. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia—and then to correct them if possible. If you would like to make test edits, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

For one pint, chatgpt backed me up. I have multiple credible sources I'm willing to share. I worked hard on this and you just banned it. WikipedianAncientHistorian (talk) 03:03, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok do not respond and leave the desolate wasteland that is the wikipage I worked hard on banned and utterly destroyed ig, meant to say the saboteur was the black bearr and the sentry thought it was a saboteur, but it was actually a bear. Just throwing that out WikipedianAncientHistorian (talk) 03:13, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

After a little review, the topic is not a hoax. However, it is already given better coverage at Volk Field Air National Guard Base#False alarm incident. No separate article is needed. —C.Fred (talk) 03:37, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's not really heavily known by it's exact title- it's hard to find under that current title. I myself was literally unable to find that. Alongside that, even if it's gross simplification, some people prefer simple over complex. I plea you reconsider. WikipedianAncientHistorian (talk) 03:44, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is, "The Time A Black Bear Nearly Caused Nuclear War" isn't really a likely search term, so it's not even a good redirect. There is a mention and link at Nuclear close calls. —C.Fred (talk) 04:11, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Check literally every news article, online debate and all of that and you'll find what I just said as the title WikipedianAncientHistorian (talk) 04:14, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To the contrary, zero hits on the exact phrase. —C.Fred (talk) 04:27, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Minnlawyer, military.com, MeatEater, War History Online. All have nearly the same titles. It'll be found more often than the one you are opting for anyways.. WikipedianAncientHistorian (talk) 04:29, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, it'll be found more often then what you are literally opting for, it's a seperate wiki page just so happening to have info on the topic.. i think mine is going to be found way more often WikipedianAncientHistorian (talk) 04:33, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest working on the draft, not only to rewrite it into more encyclopedic text, but also to make sure that you have cited reliable sources. —C.Fred (talk) 04:36, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As I'm new im unsure how to do that, id appreciate aid in that. Btw, the incident is major enough to deserve an article in my eyes. Nobody would find it in a state of a sub-article. WikipedianAncientHistorian (talk) 04:38, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I mean the citations I can improve everything else WikipedianAncientHistorian (talk) 04:38, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ill gladly work on it if it's unbanned, I'm not gonna write a draft for it to get denied again WikipedianAncientHistorian (talk) 04:39, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In its current condition, it is unsuitable for the main encyclopedia. If you want to work on it, you'll have to work on the draft. —C.Fred (talk) 04:41, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Once again, I can make the text encyclopedic but I don't know how to do citations WikipedianAncientHistorian (talk) 04:41, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Help:Referencing for beginners is a good place to learn about referencing and citations. —C.Fred (talk) 04:43, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also why do I see green texts saying +346 WikipedianAncientHistorian (talk) 04:42, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oh the history of which page? —C.Fred (talk) 04:43, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean the history of each page? WikipedianAncientHistorian (talk) 04:44, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Where are you seeing the "+346"? It sounds like you're looking at the history of a page, and that's the number of characters added in an edit. —C.Fred (talk) 04:45, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wait I understand nvm, also is it fine if I write up some of the draft and paste some of it into the chat in like 15 minutes to see if it's up to standard WikipedianAncientHistorian (talk) 04:46, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Take your time to work on it. I'm going to be afk for a little longer than 15. —C.Fred (talk) 04:48, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's 5am for me so ill have it done by 11AM UK time WikipedianAncientHistorian (talk) 04:53, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If needed, I'll heavily upgrade the article WikipedianAncientHistorian (talk) 04:16, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for my inactivity. I have a tourettes diagnosis and it recently bumped up severity to 80/100, so I had to retire from many social aspects of life for a period. I'll have it in a week WikipedianAncientHistorian (talk) 22:46, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: The Time A Black Bear Nearly Caused Nuclear War (August 5)

Your recent article submission has been rejected and cannot be resubmitted. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by C.Fred was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: The topic does not rise to the level of stand-alone notability for an article, and it is already covered at Volk Field Air National Guard Base#False alarm incident. Further, the text there is superior to this, so no merging need be considered.
