User talk:Cremastra

I have a suggestion for User:Cremastra/list of recent WMF fiascos. I'm not sure if you've seen it yet, but everything that led to Wikipedia:Wiki Workers United solidarity. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 05:30, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Oh, Lord. No, I haven't seen it until now, having been taking a break of sorts from Wikipedia. I'll add it to the ever-growing index. Cremastra (talk · contribs) 15:31, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, it really has been an experience. 😅 Thanks. Clovermoss🍀 (talk) 15:48, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

How do I start making a page from the ground up? --Helomoeto (talk) 23:14, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Hi! If you want to get started, this page has some general guidance and you can start a draft article here.

It's very important to make sure the topic you want to write about is "notable". Notability in wiki-speak doesn't exactly mean "famous": it means that there is enough coverage of the topic in multiple, independent, and reliable sources that the topic merits inclusion in the encyclopedia. For example, granite has an article because a lot of research has been done and a lot of papers have been written about granite. My cat, on the other hand, doesn't have an article because she's never even been in the news. There are of course shades of subtlety to this, and you can learn about how to apply our notability guidelines here.

We also have some subject-specific notability guidelines that have slightly different criteria. What sort of article were you planning to write? Cremastra (talk · contribs) 01:05, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

Sorry if I'm a bit annoying, but expect that from a doofus like me. I like to edit hard rock/heavy metal music articles, and there are two articles that I would like to start working on. Hybrid Theory (EP) by Linkin Park (not the full-length, but the rare EP that came before), and Recoded by Fear Factory. --Helomoeto (talk) 23:20, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello Cremastra,

I'm sorry to hear that you were frustrated when reading the distribution section of Physella acuta. Could you provide a more detail on what you thought was lacking so that I can do a focused search through the literature?

I also agree that adding a distribution map will not endanger my life. I'll see to it but it will take a while since I've never made one (or rather asked for one, as I don't think my skills would yield in a high quality image).

Please feel free to add any more comments on the article to your reply. I'll be happy to make P. acuta as good of an article as it can get.

Thank you and have a lovely day, Barbalalaika 🐌 06:57, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
