Hi ARandomName123, my apologies — I realised I wasn’t logged in when I initially submitted the request.

I’ve now re-posted the same proposed updates while logged into my account. I would really appreciate it if you could take a look when you have a moment.

Many thanks for your help. AW4QR (talk) 18:06, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

@AW4QR: No worries, please see my response on the talk page. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 06:56, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

How to add country of origin about a specific project, programme or vehicle? --Aviator Jr (talk) 07:48, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

@Aviator Jr: Hi, I'm not sure what you mean by adding a country of origin. Which article is this applicable to? If it's in the infobox, then you should just be able to edit like any other parameter. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 00:31, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

No. I recently created an article on Vikram VT21. But while using the {{lwc|Vikram VT21}} template, the country does not show up. How to add this data? Aviator Jr (talk) 16:17, 27 April 2026 (UTC)

@Aviator Jr: {{lwc}} pulls country data from Wikidata. As far as I can tell, the Vikram VT21 does not have a Wikidata item, so you will need to create one. Once it is created, add the country to P495 "Country of origin" in the Statements section. You can also add the article itself to the Wikipedia section, so if articles are created in other languages, they can be linked together. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 17:47, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to read and review my article. This is my first time publishing on Wikipedia, and I value the feedback. I was wondering if you had any specific recommendations or suggestions as I edit my article in hopes of improving it? DorseyE (talk) 19:58, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

@DorseyE: Hi, my suggestions would be to add some more links to the article (for example, publication names, uncommon terms and relevant articles). In addition, please avoid including superfluous analysis that isn't stated in the sources. For example, you wrote that Though Knock Knock has been praised by critics and readers, it was also included in the Journal of Intellectual Freedom and Privacy’s Winter 2021 Targets of the Censor report, suggesting that its reception has not been universally positive. The suggestion part of it is unnecessary. Links to sources are also beneficial, however this is not mandatory. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 23:52, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello A Random Name 123!,

thank you for your engagement and for taking the time to be my mentor. I do not plan to make any further alterations for now. Due to my professional background this change was important to me and I would like to hear from you, if I adjusted every required thing accordingly to meet the standards of Wikipedia. In any case, I wish you a great day!

Greetings Justus --JustusG02 (talk) 13:56, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

@JustusG02: Hi, that edit seems fine to me. Cheers, ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 02:22, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

What should I put for this link to fix it? https://www.broadwayworld.com/grosses/MAMMA-MIA- Iacowriter (talk) 18:37, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

@Iacowriter: For that site, you could add the title (MAMMA MIA! Broadway Grosses), website (broadwayworld.com) and access date. There's not really much else. Maybe an archive if you'd like. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 02:23, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

Well, this is mostly a secondary link for the Broadway grosses, as the original Broadway musical grossed $4 billion, and this new link is just adding to it. I’m not going to put in any numbers because I’m still on the topic ban. Iacowriter (talk) 02:31, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

Actually, you’re right. Can you show me what that looks like please? Because I keep trying to add it, but the boxes keep disappearing. Sorry I don’t know what the right term is. Iacowriter (talk) 15:24, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

Trying to save citation --Clydebank Bhoy (talk) 00:48, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

@Clydebank Bhoy: Hi, what issue are you running into? I noticed your edit to that article was redacted; this was because it contained copyrighted text, which in most cases we can not use on Wikipedia. Cheers, ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 02:26, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

The first edit I tried was redacted because I didn't appreciate the copyright rules on Wikipedia. I tried to copy and paste a different newspaper article which wasn't copyrighted but I didn't know hat to put when asked to Add Citation. I'll be grateful for any suggestions. Clydebank Bhoy (talk) 09:27, 1 May 2026 (UTC)

@Clydebank Bhoy: Unless the newspaper releases its articles to the Public Domain, or a different compatible license, the article is copyrighted. Majority of content on the internet is not released, so in most cases, copying content from other sites is a copyright violation. To add a citation, the easiest way would be to use the visual editor (you can change editors through the pencil on the top right), then click on the quote sign on the top, paste in the link, and click create. If it doesn't work, click "Manual" (next to "Automatic"), choose website or news, and fill in the necessary parameters. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 20:50, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello. Are there instructions on how to create an article? I have never done it before. --Gretchenbostrom (talk) 18:14, 2 May 2026 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the time to read and review my article! Do you have any tips for improving the content? Oliviahugh18 (talk) 17:52, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

hello, i'm new here, but i already used wikipedia like MONTHS ago due to the fact that indonesia banned wikipedia, but the banned was lifted on april 30, 2026. so i can finally make a wikipedia account note: i used wikipedia since 2025. (not sure tho)

anyways, i just wanted to ask if the editing is used using code, an not basic editing. what i wanted is to use basic code since i'm not good at scripting and COMPLETELY had zero experience of it.

so what i'm saying is that maybe just make the edit gui easier to understand. this option is optional tho, but i just don't understand the gui edit interface and don't make any edit's AT ALL.

at least i just also wanted to say if the community here is just nice so no one will get upset or mad if i make a wrong edit.

sincerely, flake (i prefer you calling me by that name, but it's also optional too if you want to) --Flake 14Pizzas (talk) 09:30, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

@Flake 14Pizzas: If you find the editing syntax too complex to edit with, I would recommend using the WP:VisualEditor instead. It greatly simplifies editing, and removes most of the need to memorize the syntax. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 01:22, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi,

I am new to Wikipedia. I accidently edited a part of an article of the page "Ethnicity in Myanmar" published by a Wikipedia authour by accident. I tried to reverse it and thus created an account because I heard that my IP address can be found online publicly via a temporary account created when editing any Wikipedia pages without an account. I am worried/concerned about this and my online security/safety.

Please could you assure me that my phone's privacy/security regarding the IP address won't be affected. Thank you.

Kind Regards,

RandomServer. --RandomServer (talk) 15:56, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

@RandomServer: Hi, the IP address hidden behind a temporary account can only be accessed by editors with the Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer permission, and after 90 days, it will automatically be deleted. There should be no impact on your phone's privacy/security. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 01:20, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Note: PoojaKhanna paralympian's mentor BlueStaticHorse is away.

Hello BlueStaticHorse,

I need help with the article “Pooja Khanna”. I have a conflict of interest because the article is about me, so I do not want to edit it directly.

The article currently has a warning about undisclosed paid editing/conflict of interest. I would like to request neutral improvements using reliable sources.

Could you please guide me on how to properly request updates on the article talk page and how to provide reliable sources such as World Archery, Hindustan Times, Dainik bhaskar, Dainik Jagran, and Sports Authority of India coverage?

Thank you. --PoojaKhanna paralympian (talk) 17:54, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

@PoojaKhanna paralympian: Hi, to request edits to an article you have a COI with, please use the WP:Edit request wizard. Make suggestions on what you believe should be edited, and link reliable sources when necessary. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 15:45, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi there. I have tried to create a page, which I currently have listed under UserPage. I am not sure if I have submitted it for approval yet. It is called User:Impartial Pariah/BucksHarbor. Could you just help clarify this for me, please? --Impartial Pariah (talk) 07:13, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

@Impartial Pariah: Hi, the page User:Impartial Pariah/BucksHarbor has not been submitted for approval. To submit it, paste {{subst:submit}} at the top of the page while in source editor mode. Publish the edit, and there should be a yellow box at the top saying that it has been submitted. ARandomName123 (talk)^{Ping me!} 15:47, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
