Proposed deletion of Mari-Cruz Evuna Andeme

The article Mari-Cruz Evuna Andeme has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Diplomats are not inherently notable and must meet WP:NBIO. Exclusively sourced to primary sources, many of which are not even about her.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion based on established criteria.

If the proposed deletion has already been carried out, you may request undeletion of the article at any time. AusLondonder (talk) 07:57, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Quick question

Hi! I noticed you referenced a Featured Article in your comment — that was helpful. Out of curiosity, how long have you been editing Wikipedia? I’m still relatively new and trying to learn from more experienced editors. Thanks! Bhaski007 (talk) 08:43, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

I've been editing since June 2006. If you want to find out about another editor, you can have a look at their user page which may or may not tell you anything interesting, and look at their contributions list and click on "oldest" which gives a date! There's plenty to learn - I'm still discovering new aspects of how to edit. I hope you enjoy your editing here: just go slowly and take care not to do any accidental damage like removing the link to a source. PamD 09:03, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Help if possible

Hi Pam, thank you for your help with your experience I was wondering if you could help me with something? 2 things to be precise. 1) How to make a table? 2? How to make a title within a category. thanks! Busandtrainfannorthwestgeography (talk) 15:17, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

@Busandtrainfannorthwestgeography Tables are tricky, and I don't understand all their intricacies. If I'm updating an existing table, perhaps adding this year's winners, I carefully copy and modify existing bits of code. I see you use the Visual Editor (which I don't): there may well be a built-in method of creating tables there, as there is in the version of the editor which I use. ... Ah, found Help:Introduction to tables with VisualEditor/1 which looks good. Try that!

Not sure what you mean by "a title within a category"? You add categories to an article (OK, you add the article to a category) by adding something like Category:20th-century English women novelists at the bottom of the page (but above any stub tags), in square brackets so it looks like [[Category:20th-century English women novelists]], and add as many categories as are appropriate (not adding "parent" categories like "Novelists" except in specific cases, described on the category page, which are "non-diffusing", whereby that one would also have Category:20th-century English novelists). Again, I'm not sure how Visual Editor does it - I ought to have another look at VE some time, to be able to help newcomers better: I tried it many years ago and hated it, though it may have improved since then!

I hope that helps somewhat! PamD 15:30, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

So for example transport in fylde page under bus has a operater you can edit just that operater how do I make it do that? Busandtrainfannorthwestgeography (talk) 15:43, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

@Busandtrainfannorthwestgeography

1. To reply to a talk page message, please click on "reply" - that way the conversation stays together
2. If you're talking about a specific page, please give a link to it to save your reader from having to work out what page it is and type it in for themself. I suppose the page you mean is Public transport in the Fylde.

It sounds as if you want to make a section, under "Bus", for another operator. First, notice that they seem to be in A-Z order so work out where to put the new one. Then either edit the whole "Bus" section and add your new one, using the same level of heading as the parallel sections for other companies, or edit the section above or below the place yours will go, and add your new section as appropriate. But, as ever, I don't know how to do it in VE! It looks as if Help:Introduction_to_editing_with_VisualEditor/2 tells you about adding headings: see if that helps. It might be useful to spend some time browsing through that set of tutorial pages, from Help:Introduction to editing with VisualEditor/1, to see what they offer - then if you come up with a problem you'll remember that you saw that topic being taught there and can go back to look in more detail.
