I emailed Connie Boyd using the address on her website so that she could send me scans of some of the key documents we can't access. I note that you don't allow emails within the system here but I do, so if you want to contact me that way I could share anything she sends. No problem if not! Mike Turnbull (talk) 16:52, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

I noticed she seemed to be putting stuff online, we can't link it but we can read it. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:53, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

Yes, this seems to be developing on the talk page, where I've just given her some advice I hope she follows. Mike Turnbull (talk) 17:08, 27 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello, just checking in. At Mike Turnbull's suggestion I have provided original article content in a Google Drive file: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1njS8g56KFVR952CXeLHJsuTBslTzN9Ok?usp=share_link

Good news, my book won the Women's Literature Award at the Next Generation Indie Awards 2026. I will attend the ceremony and the ALA convention in June in Chicago. Magical Women (talk) 12:04, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Congratulations! I'm unlikely to look at this draft in the near future. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 14:18, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Thank you so much for all your expertise, help and support. I am very grateful and very sorry you will be unable to look at the draft in the future. Thank you once again. Magical Women (talk) 12:15, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello Mike, I am checking in. I uploaded additional original articles to the google drive file I created for Wikipedia content: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1njS8g56KFVR952CXeLHJsuTBslTzN9Ok?usp=share_link

I have good news, my book just won the Women's Literature category at Next Generation Indie Book Awards 2026, I will attend the ceremony in Chicago in June as well as the ALA convention. Thank you in advance for your help and expertise. Magical Women (talk) 12:14, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

@Magical Women That will be very helpful to establishing your notability, as defined by Wikipedia, since we have an article about that Award: Next Generation Indie Book Awards. A secondary source would be useful to back up the primary one at their website. Do you know of any newspaper coverage mentioning you winning? Maybe we'll see that in a couple of weeks. Mike Turnbull (talk) 13:17, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Thank you so much Mike. If anything else pops up I will let you know. I am attending the awards ceremony in June. Magical Women (talk) 13:45, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Hello, what is a bare URL and missing title error? I created a page and this error message was sent to me by a bot. --GTaK (talk) 10:52, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

@GTaK A "bare url" means "web adress only", like https://www.sujanchapagainofficial.com/band.

If you look at the edit you made here:, you can see that in the second paragraph/cite you added, you don't have a |title= parameter, that's what the bot is complaining about. The cite before that has one, so that one looks ok. Hope this helps some. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:20, 12 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello, I had recently edited some topics about caste,clans... and i received a message on my talk page that said, editing on caste, clans before 500 edits is restricted, after that i apologized and removed my editings from those pages. Will the removing also counted as editing on those topics or can it lead to restrictions on me? --GTaK (talk) 12:02, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

@GTaK I guess they could, technically, but hopefully they'll be seen in the spirit of which they were meant. See WP:REDACT for future use. WP has a few of these "minefield" topics, you can see a list at WP:ECRLIST. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 14:20, 16 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi, I saw you are my mentor. What is your advice on getting better at helping with pages? --MrSAS11 (talk) 09:40, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

@MrSAS11 Welcome!

If you want to learn how to make edits that can "stick" on WP, you need to learn how add references correctly. This is essential, and I can't stress it enough. Really. WP:TUTORIAL can help with that. WP is a learning by doing place. You are welcome to be WP:BOLD, but if someone reverts you, WP:COMMUNICATE. You will pick up the rules if you stick around and listen when other Wikipedians tell you stuff. You also need a sense of what WP considers reliable sources in what context, see WP:RS.

I noticed you made Draft:Thistle Dynamic Racing. It's excellent that you started this as a draft, you can take your time, edit, test stuff and practice on that as long as you like. However:

For this to have any chance of being accepted as a WP-article, you need the right kind of sources, see WP:N. Existing is not enough. A WP-article about Thistle Dynamic Racing is supposed to be, almost exclusively, a summary of reliably published (and cited) sources that are both independent of the subject and about the subject. If those sources don't exist atm, your article won't be accepted. Their own social media doesn't help, but if you have articles (or at least paragraphs) about them on the BBC or in The Times, then something can probably be done. See WP:BACKWARD, and, if it applies to you, Wikipedia:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing.

Hope this helps some! Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:29, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello mentor, I had recently edited the history section of an article and was reverted due to "failing an AI check", I had not used AI in writing the article and I believe had also sourced correctly? Whats the appropriate course of action? Thank you. --Kreuzau (talk) 09:28, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

@Kreuzau Welcome! Your first step is to WP:COMMUNICATE with the editor who reverted you, per that was @Tacyarg. More general info at WP:BOLD. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:34, 26 April 2026 (UTC)

Hi Gråbergs Gråa Sång, further to the comment on WP:BALANCE at Talk:Missing scientists conspiracy theory, I have asked a question at WT:NPOV. Hopefully it gets some traction and clarification. Whonting (talk) 06:45, 29 April 2026 (UTC)

That article from Elizabeth Lampert & Suzanne Donnels looks interesting. Do you know where might I find an full unpaywalled version? Smallbones_(smalltalk) 16:49, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

@Simonm223 And did you notice it took HOURS between that the news broke and the thing got on to WP? The SHAME. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:44, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

It's a leftist conspiracy! Simonm223 (talk) 17:46, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

I've reflected before on similar coverage that if WP-editors hid/deleted/whatevered this stuff, WP-editors must also have added it in the first place, right? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:51, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

I have an opinion about the SPLC which is extremely unpopular, but I haven't seen anyone actually address my issues:

That being said, Media_Research_Center#NewsBusters is worse. Far worse. Seriously? Breitbart is a reliable source? And they completely ignored the major arguments against the trump administration's indictment: Paying someone to spy on a group is not the same thing as funding the group and The SPLC has always been open about paying such informants" -- both of which completely refute the charge that they somehow defrauded donors. My complaints against SPLC are minor compared to me complaints against MRC/Newsbusters. --Guy Macon (talk) 19:15, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

GGS have you seen the story on Corgi accuses Matcha founders of deleting Wikipedia article, and another on a counter suit by Matcha? They are on The Insurers by Reuters a website I always have problems with. See also Corgi (insurance company) and the earlier AfD of Corgy (company). As I understand it, it's about using AI in the insurance business. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 17:46, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

@Cakelot1 Do you have access, or did you add it anyway? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 18:24, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

No, just added it based on the free snip-it, which at least confirmed it was about the given company/recreated article. Cakelot1 ☞️ talk 18:32, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

@Gråbergs Gråa Sång, while I still haven't found a way to access the article, there is this linked-in summary (presumably AI generated) by The Insurer which at least gives an impression of Corgi's accusation here. Cakelot1 ☞️ talk 19:01, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

@Cakelot1 Judging by that, you may have violated WP:OUTING by adding that article on WP. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 04:00, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

@Gråbergs Gråa Sång, Yeah, you're probably right (I suppose that's the problem with adding an article you haven't read). I've removed it from the article's talk, feel free to redact the above link if you think it's needed. Cakelot1 ☞️ talk 09:13, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

HI there I want to create a company information page for our company called Kensana Health Inc. Im not sure I set up my Wikipedia account properly for this? --KellLeighMartin (talk) 01:29, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

@KellLeighMartin You have registered your account, so far so good. Now you have a bit of a challenge. I have no idea if a WP-acceptable article on your company can be made, so I'm going to post some relevant links:

• WP:NCORP, what kind of sources you would need if an article is to be accepted.
• WP:COI, your situation
• WP:YFA, your first article
• WP:TUTORIAL, it's hard to edit WP without knowing how to edit WP
• Wikipedia:When your boss tells you to edit Wikipedia, more advice

If you're going to work on this, start with going to your userpage, KellLeighMartin, and write something like "I work for Kensana Health Inc, and I'm here to try to make a WP-article about our company." Hope this helps some! Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 03:46, 14 May 2026 (UTC)

How do I write a brand new article about a topic or person --Wrendwyer (talk) 07:56, 17 May 2026 (UTC)

@Wrendwyer Hello! Making an acceptable WP-article without knowing how to edit WP is hard. A common advice is to "just" edit for a while first, to try to get a hang of this place.

That said, your first hurdle is "Can a WP-article about your chosen subject be written at all?" Start with reading WP:BACKWARD. If you conclude "Yeah, I have those sources, no problem!", move on to WP:YFA. If your choice of topic fails WP:N, the article will not be accepted. If you decide to go ahead, you need to learn how to add references correctly, WP:TUTORIAL can help with that. This is crucial, and I can't stress that enough. Really.

All the best! Singer80 (talk) 07:46, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

@Singer80 I didn't edit that article because I saw you doing anything wrong, I haven't checked your edits there at all. I did find the article because I looked at your talkpage again. And I hope you won't feel that was creepy WP:STALKING on my part.

But, you should be aware of WP:COI. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:07, 22 May 2026 (UTC)

Is there an equivalent of {{Press}} for social media posts? See Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Biography#RfC: Consistency in chosen and former names in biographies and the thread above it for context. A TikTok rarely deserves to be memorialized on a talk page in this manner but this one kicked of substantive content discussions on multiple pages whose content was criticized, such as Talk:Muhammad Ali#Use of Slave Name vs. Chosen Name, in addition to the RfC. —Myceteae‍🍄‍🟫 (talk) 21:30, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
