Question from Feastofthecrows10999 (09:09, 1 August 2026)
Hello! I was wondering how you distinguish between improving an article and unintentionally changing its editorial balance? Thank you for your consideration. --Feastofthecrows10999 (talk) 09:09, 1 August 2026 (UTC)
- That's a good question. I'd say... But, to be honest, I'm not great at answering judgment-based questions. :) Generally, I just try to follow what the majority of reliable sources collectively say. If there's another significant POV, I usually include it briefly as well. Reading WP:WEIGHT will probably give you a better idea of how to approach this... — Raihanur (talk) 10:34, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Question from Dadisco01 (10:31, 2 August 2026)
Hello, how do I create myself a Wikipedia page sir --Dadisco01 (talk) 10:31, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
- Hi! To create a new article, please use the Article Wizard (WP:AFC) to create a draft. Before you begin, please read WP:N to get an idea of whether the subject is notable. If it does not meet the notability criteria, the draft will most likely be declined. For a detailed guide, please visit Help:Your first article. And you don't have to address anyone as "sir" here. Cheers! — Raihanur (talk) 15:10, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
Question from Moznews (17:46, 2 August 2026)
Hi I have to write a page for an upcoming youth leader , how can I proceed --Moznews (talk) 17:46, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
- Hi! If the person is an upcoming youth leader, they may not yet meet Wikipedia's notability criteria. Wikipedia does not create articles based on future potential or expected significance (see WP:CRYSTAL). Before writing anything, I'd recommend checking whether there is already significant coverage about them in multiple independent, reliable sources (see WP:NBIO). If they appear to meet the criteria, you can submit a draft through the Article Wizard (WP:AFC). Otherwise, it's generally best to wait until sufficient coverage exists. You may also find Help:Your first article helpful. — Raihanur (talk) 19:58, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
Question from Moznews (20:03, 2 August 2026)
Hi he is a youth leader and here newspaper and stuff about him online , I received the following from wiki , how can I fix it ? : This draft does not include any sources or inline citations. Wikipedia's verifiability policy requires that all content be supported by reliable sources. You should also use inline citations (footnotes) to show which source supports which specific statement. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that: • provide significant coverage: discuss the subject in detail, not just brief mentions or routine announcements; • are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight; • are independent: not connected to the subject, such as press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content. Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia. You must place an inline citation directly after: • quotations; • any material whose verifiability is likely to be challenged or is contentious; • any material about living people. Learn how to create inline citations in the: • Source Editor: Introduction to referencing with Wiki Markup. • VisualEditor: Introduction to referencing with VisualEditor. --Moznews (talk) 20:03, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
- As I said, every claim must be supported by reliable sources. The current draft doesn't even have a single source. However, I would recommend just leaving the draft for now. As far as I can see, the subject isn't really notable, and I don't think there's any chance of him meeting the notability criteria in the near future. — Raihanur (talk) 05:20, 3 August 2026 (UTC)
Temporary account IP viewer granted

Hello, Raihanur. Per your request, your account has been granted temporary-account-viewer rights. You are now able to reveal the IP addresses of individuals using temporary accounts that are not visible to the general public. This is very sensitive information that is only to be used to aid in anti-abuse workflows. Please take a moment to review Wikipedia:Temporary account IP viewer for more information on this user right. It is important to remember:
- You must not share IP address data with someone who does not have the same access permissions unless disclosure is permissible as per guidelines listed at Foundation:Policy:Wikimedia Access to Temporary Account IP Addresses Policy.
- Access must not be used for political control, to apply pressure on editors, or as a threat against another editor in a content dispute. There must be a valid reason to investigate a temporary user. Note that using multiple temporary accounts is not forbidden, so long as they are not used in violation of policies (for example, block or ban evasion).
It is also important to note that the following actions are logged for others to see:
- When a user accepts the preference that enables or disables IP reveal for their account.
- Revealing an IP address of a temporary account.
- Listing the temporary accounts that are associated with one or more IP addresses (using the CIDR notation format).
Remember, even if a user is violating policy, avoid revealing personal information if possible. Use temporary account usernames rather than disclosing IP addresses directly, or give information such as same network/not same network or similar. If you do not want the user right anymore then please ask me or another administrator and it will be removed for you. You may also voluntarily give up access at any time by visiting Special:Preferences. Happy editing! — rsjaffe 🗣️ 21:01, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Question from UnMooring (02:16, 5 August 2026)
Hi! Uh, I just joined, and made two small-ish edits finding citations for things, and put two things on talk pages for "I found this much, but am not sure where to go from here". Going through and answering all the "I'm not sure about ..."s left unresolved in the talk page comments would probably be too much (and they can extremely wait), but would you be able to, just, quickly eyeball the two edits and the two comments to let me know if I'm on the right track in general, like am doing this meaningfully and usefully and not missing something extremely obvious? (If that's asking too much, no worries.) --UnMooring (talk) 02:16, 5 August 2026 (UTC)
- Hi! Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for your contributions! I've had a look at your edits, and I didn't notice any major issues. The two edits you made look perfectly fine. Finding sources and adding them is one of the best things you can do when you're just starting out.
- As for the two talk page comments, those are completely fine too. One thing I'd suggest is being bold. If you think an edit is an improvement and it's not likely to be controversial, you can just make the edit directly. If someone disagrees or reverts it, that's a good time to start a discussion on the talk page. Overall, you're good to go. And feel free to leave a message here if you get stuck anywhere. Good luck! — Raihanur (talk) 13:34, 5 August 2026 (UTC)
Question from ZsofiaPalo (12:51, 6 August 2026)
Hi I'd like to translate an existing Wikipedia article in my mothertongue to spread the knowledge about it in my homecountry. How should I start? --ZsofiaPalo (talk) 12:51, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
- @ZsofiaPalo: Heyyy, that's a nice way to start.. Soooo, first check if the article already exists on the other Wikipedia. If it doesn't, start writing in your sandbox (if you are talking about Spanish Wikipedia, it is at es:User:ZsofiaPalo/sandbox.) From there, translate it section by section manually. Translation tools like Google Translate can be helpful to get a rough baseline, but always rewrite and polish the text yourself. A good workflow is to translate the readable prose first, and then add the templates, citations, and categories. Once everything looks good, you can move the draft into the mainspace (using the Move button on the right sidebar)..
- Feel free to let me know if you get stuck anywhere or need help with this. Good luck! — Raihanur (talk) 15:28, 6 August 2026 (UTC)
Question from Makariju on Onboarding (09:13, 7 August 2026)
Martina Ambrosi
Hello, thank you for carefully reading the article about Martina, the athlete who competed in the last Winter Olympics. How do you think I could improve the page so that it fits within Wikipedia's scope? Thank you, and happy editing. Mtvdanilo (talk) 13:05, 7 August 2026 (UTC)
- By sourcing. That's the only issue. Currently, the draft has some sources, but none of them describe the subject (Draft:Martina Ambrosi) significantly. Only one source does so, which is this one, but CONI is not an independent source in her case per WP:INDEPENDENT. You can make the draft acceptable by adding sources that satisfy WP:SPORTBASIC... — Raihanur (talk) 16:24, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

Question from Norbo1952 (00:56, 10 August 2026)
Hello, I have placed and article in my sandbox, having used Meta to make sure that all of my statements can be verified. Prior to my entering it, there were little icons next to the data that would take one to the actual verification, but when I pasted it into the Sandbox the icons disappeared. --Norbo1952 (talk) 00:56, 10 August 2026 (UTC)
