Question from Biziffy (05:17, 19 May 2026)

Hi, can I add business information here for Biziffy.com? I would like to know if business listings or company details can be submitted on this page. @Aplucas0703 --Biziffy (talk) 05:17, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

@Biziffy Notable business may have Wikipedia pages, but you probably should not create one for a business you represent, are employed at, or have a personal connection to. All articles must meet Wikipedia's WP:NOTABILITY standards. AaronNealLucas (talk) 17:08, 19 May 2026 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Hyperwebster

Hello, Aplucas0703. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or draft page you started, "Hyperwebster".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 05:17, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

Concern regarding Draft:Juliet Mphande

Information icon Hello, Aplucas0703. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Juliet Mphande, a page you created, has not been edited in at least five months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 02:09, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

Question from TullyFW (18:48, 6 June 2026)

Hi, I am wondering about the standard for writing non-english names (in this case vietnamese). If the name has latin letters, is it okay to omit diacritics when repeatedly using the name in english? For example, I noticed the page for Cinema of Vietnam uses "Tran Anh Hung" and "Trần Anh Hùng" interchangeably throughout instead of sticking to one. --TullyFW (talk) 18:48, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

Really, the rule should be to stay consistent within an article. My personal recommendation would be to use the version with diacritics throughout the article. AaronNealLucas (talk) 23:35, 6 June 2026 (UTC)

Question from Kerianmayranis on User:Kerianmayranis/sandbox (20:16, 8 June 2026)

Hi, how can I edit the title of my page? --Kerianmayranis (talk) 20:17, 8 June 2026 (UTC)

Question from NickMusco (18:08, 9 June 2026)

I would like to create a new page on the history of the original Gloria Pizza in Flushing NY. I am the son of the original owner. --NickMusco (talk) 18:09, 9 June 2026 (UTC)

@NickMusco You can create a new article at the WP:Article Wizard. Make sure you declare that you have a conflict of interest since you have a connection to the subject. Keep in mind that you need to follow Wikipedia's notability guidelines for notability on corporations and organizations at WP:ORG to see if your subject will qualify for an article. The notability guidelines specify what is needed for a subject to demonstrate the notability necessary to have a Wikipedia article. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Question from Kai1525 on Draft:Paul Dargis (20:30, 10 June 2026)

How to add images --Kai1525 (talk) 20:30, 10 June 2026 (UTC)

@Kai1525 To insert an image: Begin editing the page, and click the "insert" tab on the top toolbar. You'll find an option to insert "images and media." Images used on Wikipedia (and all related projects) are hosted at Wikimedia Commons.
Note: All photos and images on Wikimedia Commons must have been made available under a free license by the creator. If such a photo does not exist, you won't be able to add a photo to the article just yet. If you're looking for a free photo, you can try searching on Openverse, which has a large catalog of media which is published under a Creative Commons license. If it isn't already on Wikimedia Commons, you can upload it there. You can also upload any photo you've taken yourself to Wikimedia Commons and upload it under a Creative Commons license.

Introduction

Greetings Aplucas0703,

My apologies for the delayed response. I was beaucoup excited to join the Wikipedia community and then got very busy with work and personal things but I now have the time and mind-space to be an active part of the community. Looking forward to learning, researching, discussing, and sharing knowledge.

Thank you for reaching out and introducing yourself. This side of Wikipedia is a bit overwhelming initially but I will read and watch some tutorials so I hopefully don't have to bother you with too many questions :)

Have a wonderful weekend. Caribbean87 (talk) 01:52, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

@Caribbean87 Don't worry about asking questions, it's totally fine. I signed up because I love to do it! Donxt wprry about perfection too much, and remember that Wikipedia is a hobby, so you can contribute however you want whenever you feel like. Happy editing! AaronNealLucas (talk) 02:34, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
Thanks! That was super helpful :) Caribbean87 (talk) 02:50, 15 June 2026 (UTC)

@Penjahop Could you clarify: Did you write articles for a publication that you would like to add to Wikipedia articles? AaronNealLucas (talk) 13:31, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

Question from Dork Tree on AJ Shabeel (22:45, 22 June 2026)

Even tho it's not done, is it okay to ask for help to help Me create a wiki page. Also how do I publish it --Dork Tree (talk) 22:45, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

@Dork Tree Go the WP:Article Wizard, which will guide you through the process and set you up to help you submit the article when you are ready. Let me know when you have any trouble or questions and I'll be here to help. AaronNealLucas (talk) 22:56, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

Question from Johnyerbrubinstein (17:14, 25 June 2026)

Hello M. Lucas, I wish to amend factual inaccuracies in a historical entry about an event which occurred in the Second World War; what is the best way to go about it ? --Johnyerbrubinstein (talk) 17:14, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

@Johnyerbrubinstein Usually, you would just edit the page and fix the inaccurate content, and replace the sources if necessary. Could you clarify the page and the innaccuracy you spotted, and I can give more detailed advice? AaronNealLucas (talk) 17:23, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
Thanks M. Lucas,
that is helpful; I shall re-read the passages concerned which relate to events in which I was involved in the last century, and which in some AI sources outcomes have been misrepresented, by an apparent clean-up of the internet. It would be too early at present to assess what extent any corrective narrative should be supplied. It involves the subsequent investigations into amoingst other matters, the death of Pope John Paul I, the collapse of the Banco Ambrosiano, and the destination of the "flusso di denari". Johnyerbrubinstein (talk) 18:05, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

Volleyball

The person who keeps on reverting my edits and nominates my pages for deletion has refused to talk to me without throwing wiki links at me and has constantly changed his reasons for reverting my edits. He has also said my edits on these volleyball pages are commendable, but then wants to delete the pages. That doesn't sense to me. When I have done these edits on other pages, no one bats an eyelid. But the volleyball editors are adamant that my edits are disruptive for some reason. I tried to get a consensus but that got nowhere.

The situation with volleyball editors has severed my mental health and I am considering taking this to the administrators noticeboard as I have had two other editors say that they have had problems with volleyball editors. ILoveSport2006 (talk) 10:22, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

@ILoveSport2006 I'm sorry to hear this! The Wikipedia community takes things like this seriously; we want new editors to feel welcomed. Could you please link me a page (or several) where you've had this issue? I'll take a look and suggest the best move from here. AaronNealLucas (talk) 15:35, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
Talk:2026 FIVB Women's Volleyball Nations League and the bottom conversation on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Volleyball plus on the deletion pages of the Volleyball Nations League preliminary rounds. ILoveSport2006 (talk) 15:53, 29 June 2026 (UTC)
@ILoveSport2006 i am uncertain of the full context and the conventions associated with volleyball and sports related articles. If you think someone has been acting inappropriately, you can definitely take it to WP:ANI. AaronNealLucas (talk) 01:02, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
It's simple. I edit, he reverts, I want an explanation, he gives an excuse, gives a wiki link and doesn't speak to me properly. Then repeat. This situation and the fact that people (whom by the way don't edit on the volleyball pages) are supporting his ideas hurt me a lot as all of them are mine and he has treated me like utter crap. I need help. ILoveSport2006 (talk) 18:26, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

Question from Zetra83838 (17:25, 30 June 2026)

Hello! Thanks for mentoring me. If I add information to an article that I got from the book but the book is already referenced, I only have to add the page number, right? --Zetra83838 (talk) 17:25, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

@Zetra83838 You should make sure that it is clear you are referencing that specific book. See WP:SFN and H:SFN for more guidance on how to cite a source, like a book, where you may cite different pages across an article. You can use a shortened footnote which is accompanied by a full citation in another section in the references. AaronNealLucas (talk) 17:33, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

@@Jsanormaluser If you are looking to edit, you can check out the page Help:Editing for some basics on editing Wikipedia, and you can visit the page WP:Task center for some ideas on what to edit. Your user homepage can also give you some other suggestions. If there's something you wanted to get started on, I can offer help with that, too. AaronNealLucas (talk) 17:30, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

Welcoming mentees

Hi, Aplucas0703. I noticed some of the welcome messages to your mentees, and then noticed you are substing them from your welcomementee subpage. You are more than welcome to keep doing so, but did you know that there are already three templates specifically for welcoming mentees? See Wikipedia:Welcoming committee/Welcome templates#Mentors. There is also one "mentor-aware" template, {{welcome-retro}}; this template is not specifically for welcoming mentees, but it knows if the person you are welcoming is your mentee or not, and if you are, it adds notification of your being assigned as their mentor to the standard welcome message.

If you are happy with the wording of your template, just carry on doing what you're doing. You might want to look at the other templates anyway, because you could steal ideas from them, like how to say, "Hello, Aplucas0703!" instead of just, "Hello there!". There are other tricks too; lmk if you are interested in importing any of them into your template. Oh, I almost forgot; there is a new noticeboard for mentors to hang out and share their experiences and ideas with other mentors; please drop by the Wikipedia:Mentorship noticeboard and say hello!

How do I create an endnote? Also, how do I create a citation? --ILoveMartinique (talk) 12:25, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from ILoveMartinique (12:47, 6 July 2026)

I worked about an hour and a half on editing, then switched from source editing to visual to see what it was like, then tried to switch back, and everything I did has disappeared. Is it saved somewhere? Can I get back to it, or do I need to start over? I guess if I'm doing something this extensive I should just do it in Word and then paste the whole thing into the edit. Will that work? --ILoveMartinique (talk) 12:47, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

@ILoveMartinique You can create citations using the top toolbar in visual mode (easiest way). See H:FOOT for help with footnotes (it should also cover citations). I recommend saving your work (publishing your edits) as you reach stopping points, as the browser itself can become overloaded or time out. You are free to work outside and paste it in, but that isn't needed. AaronNealLucas (talk) 16:08, 6 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from Stulopez7 (14:05, 10 July 2026)

Hello! I have an article about Nancye Green that I wrote. Do you have any tips on how I can get this published?

Thank you, Stuart --Stulopez7 (talk) 14:05, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

@Stulopez7 Make sure that you have three good sources that show notability. These three sources should each be independent of the subject of the article (and of the other sources). They should also be reliable sources, and preferably secondary sources (like news reports). Most importantly, they should have significant coverage of the person. In general, this mean that each source has more than just a passing or trivial mention of the subject of the Wikipedia article you want to write. So things like a few paragraphs in an article (or an entire article), a book, or some other published source. AaronNealLucas (talk) 18:15, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from Radtastical (09:45, 12 July 2026)

@Radtastical I'm glad you decided to make an account! I reccomend starting by making small edits to get used to Wikipedia, and then start making bigger edits. On yout user homepage, you can find editing suggestions. If you need more ideas, I'd be happy to help you. AaronNealLucas (talk) 15:36, 12 July 2026 (UTC)

How can I start to write a biographical piece. --Sussain (talk) 22:31, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

@Sussain Make sure that the person you write about is notable. This means, generally, that they are covered in at least three different sources that are reliable, independent of the person you're writing about, and are secondary sources (like a news report). You can begin making an article at WP:Articles for Creation. AaronNealLucas (talk) 23:33, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

@Tkrczk Yes, on Wikidata, you can edit the entry. At the bottom of the Wikidata page, scroll to the bottom and hit "edit" on the Wikipedia option. You can add the page by selecting the language and adding the article title.
You should wait until the article is published to link the pages together. AaronNealLucas (talk) 21:24, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from HELLENIC1980 (17:04, 25 July 2026)

Hi, I declared COI and my article was moved to Draft:Christopher DiCas. Can you please check if the section "Museum and installation work" with the Musée Gajac source is enough for notability per WP:NARTIST? What do I need to remove from the Haute Parfumerie section to pass AfC review? --HELLENIC1980 (talk) 17:04, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

@HELLENIC1980 For sources to establish notability, they need to be independent of the subject. They should also come from reliable sources and be secondary (like news reports). Each sources should have significant coverage of the subject; that means more than just a passing mention. You need three good sources that each meet this criteria that are independent of the other two sources. Here's a checklist:
1. The source should be independent of the subject.
2. The source should be reliable/trustworthy.
3. The source should be secondary.
4. The source should have significant coverage of the subject.
5. You need three sources with the above criteria about the subject. Those three sources should be independent of each other. AaronNealLucas (talk) 18:46, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from CityWithAView (17:11, 28 July 2026)

Hello Aplucas! I am working on an article and was able to access some documents from the Archives of the Law Society of Ontario by requesting them from the Archivist. I would like to incorporate these into my article, however they are not publicly available. How should I cite them? Thanks. --CityWithAView (talk) 17:11, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

@CityWithAView Cite them how you would if they were publicly accessible. This should at least allow others to be able to request the same documents into the future. You might upload them to the Internet Archive if you are allowed to. If they are in the public domain in both the US and the country they are from (you'll have to check against copyright law), you could even upload them to Wikimedia Commons.

@Laoyehyue The citations should come from multiple independent sources which directly address the topic. if this is a topic you just discovered, you probably cannot do this and should not do this. AaronNealLucas (talk) 15:36, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

How do i create a new wikipedia article? --JTM TODD ( GEOFS GUY ) (talk) 11:27, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

@TODD ( GEOFS GUY ) You can start at WP:Article Wizard. Before writing an article, make sure it meets notability guidelines (otherwise the article will not be published):
For sources to establish notability, they need to be independent of the subject. They should also come from reliable sources and be secondary (like news reports). Each sources should have significant coverage of the subject; that means more than just a passing mention.

Question from Tkrczk (13:24, 30 July 2026)

I'm adding links to images for a page I'm working on that don't seem to be loading, do I need to add them to WikiCommons in order for them to load? Or, do they just never show up in draft form? --Tkrczk (talk) 13:24, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

@Tkrczk Links to images will not load on Wikipedia. Wikimedia Commons can host media files, but they either have to be in the public domain or published under a free license. Since you are writing about Canadian Architect, you can upload the files to English Wikipedia under fair use (not Wikimedia Commons), but they won't show up in a draft article (for copyright reasons), so it'll have to be uploaded and added after the article is published.

Hi I want to do the editing but need my bio How do I access it? --Jerry Kremer (talk) 16:33, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

@Jerry Kremer Are you looking to create a user page, like your user profile for Wikipedia? In that case, you can just click the red link on your name in this thread, and it will let you start making your user page. It will prompt you to make a new page since it does not exist yet.
If you were looking to do something else, let me know and I'll give you more guidance. AaronNealLucas (talk) 16:57, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from A quick 804634695 PC·aWb per hN·s run (18:48, 30 July 2026)

Hi, I wrote a full revision of a section of an article in my sandbox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:A_quick_804634695_PC%C2%B7aWb_per_hN%C2%B7s_run/sandbox). It is meant to replace the outdated Polarimetry sub-subsection on the Synthetic-aperture RADAR article. My only step left is to add all necessary citations, primarily academic articles. Can you help me understand how to add formal paper citations in the editor? Is there a system similar to BibTeX where raw citation data is supplied and it autoformats the citation for you? Or perhaps a Zotero export option? Or do I need to manually type in a citation complete with links for every paper I wish to cite? There are so many suggestions on the page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Citation_tools) I feel overwhelmed. Any pointers appreciated, thank you very much. --A quick 804634695 PC·aWb per hN·s run (talk) 18:48, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

@A quick 804634695 PC·aWb per hN·s run In the visual editor, the cite option in the toolbar can automatically generate most parameters on its own, most of the time. However, you might still have to fill in some of the missing information. It will format the citation for you if you use the citation tool and plug in the information. AaronNealLucas (talk) 00:06, 31 July 2026 (UTC)
Thanks both for your accuracy and promptness. I was using the raw text editor for writing because I find it more precise and similar to LaTeX; switching to the visual editor for generating citations works very well. It accepts a DOI and handles the rest without much fail. Have a great week and thank you very much for your magnanimous expertise!

Question from Cyrus Alimonte (16:10, 2 August 2026)

Hello sir or madame. I'm contacting you because I'm curious on how to make a Wikipedia Page. I noticed John Deaton didn't have one, despite the fact he was a major candidate in the 2024 Massachusetts Senate Election and will be a major candidate in the 2026 ones. How could I make the Page? --Cyrus Alimonte (talk) 16:10, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

@Cyrus Alimonte First, a heads up: John Deaton may not qualify for a Wikipedia article. Generally, editors are skeptical of candidates that have not won an election having a Wikipedia article. You can check out WP:Notability (electoral candidates) for a deeper explanation. All articles have to meet notability criteria on Wikipedia. If you decide that this candidate still seems notable, you can check out WP:Article Wizard to start. If you can find three sources with significant coverage that are reliable, independent of the candidate, secondary, and independent of the other two sources, you probably have a person who meets the general notability guidelines and qualifies for an article. AaronNealLucas (talk) 17:51, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
Thank you for the response, I thought since Graham Platner had one Deaton is just as deserving of one given the more experience in elections. I will follow that advice, have a good day Cyrus Alimonte (talk) 17:57, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Question from Sisyf1s (08:28, 3 August 2026)

Note: Sisyf1s's mentor AviationFreak is away.

Hello! I’ve been working on the draft submission for Dala Nasser’s article for quite some time and it still hasn’t been accepted do you mind taking a look at it and advising me on what to do next? Can I delete it and start anew? Thank you --Sisyf1s (talk) 08:28, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

@Sisyf1s It can take a long time for articles to be processed through Articles for Creation. The best thing to do is just to wait it out. AaronNealLucas (talk) 15:49, 3 August 2026 (UTC)
It’s been 4 months, are there any tips to help improve the submission in the meantime? And whats the max wait time usually? Sisyf1s (talk) 21:32, 3 August 2026 (UTC)
@Sisyf1s Usually, when AfC gets backed up, a 4 month wait time is normal. Adding a comment which quickly shows the three best sources that establish notability can help speed up the article's approval. AaronNealLucas (talk) 23:27, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

Question from 00010schwa-er (21:22, 3 August 2026)

Hio Aplucas; you can call me „schwaer“. Well, so I wanted to ask you, how do I add images to my user page? --00010schwa-er (talk) 21:22, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

In the visual editor, click the plus button in the top toolbar, and then select images to find images to add. AaronNealLucas (talk) 23:28, 3 August 2026 (UTC)

Question from WacomFan (20:56, 4 August 2026)

I've never participated in WikiProject before, but I want to make an article request. How do I do that, and how should my message be structured? --WacomFan (talk) 20:56, 4 August 2026 (UTC)

@WacomFan It depends on the subject of the article. You can also fulfill the request by making the article yourself, if that is something you are interested in doing. Depending on your subject, I might direct you to a specific Wikiproject. You can also start at WP:Articles for Creation if you want to. AaronNealLucas (talk) 01:16, 5 August 2026 (UTC)
It's of a female videogame composer, so I was thinking of reaching out to either WP Women In Red or Video Games. My biggest worry is how I should format the request, as I have nonexistent experience. WacomFan (talk) 19:08, 5 August 2026 (UTC)
@WacomFan You can format the request in any way you like. Women in Red is always a good choice. AaronNealLucas (talk) 19:10, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

Question from 1stPOPOLOGIST (06:08, 7 August 2026)

Hello Mentor, I am an experienced and quite veteran director & production designer who has been off the web too long. I am reestablishing my career and have found many of my credits required input. My website is www.joerey.tv & I am founder of www.popology.io ... a new verification infrastructure I am building : https://www.spinmagazine.com/from-the-set-to-the-system-a-look-inside-the-career-of-joe-rey/. Meanwhile I want to make my own page for POPOLOGY & for me as a filmmaker... maybe you can help me if it's not too much trouble? I am happy to meet you, and look forward to communicating soon. Blessings. Joe Rey --1stPOPOLOGIST (talk) 06:08, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

@1stPOPOLOGIST You can start writing an article at WP:Article Wizard. Make sure that you declare your conflict of interest. You should also make sure that the topic of the article is mentioned in multiple reliable sources independent of the subject, and that those sources have significant coverage of the topic (more than a passing mention). AaronNealLucas (talk) 06:27, 7 August 2026 (UTC)
Thank you. I will try this... Can I post or site this article: https://www.spinmagazine.com/from-the-set-to-the-system-a-look-inside-the-career-of-joe-rey/ ? 1stPOPOLOGIST (talk) 12:19, 7 August 2026 (UTC)
