hello! :D i would like to ask a question: how to add citations? --Mattystoast4minami (talk) 16:20, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

@Mattystoast4minami see Wikipedia:Citing sources Scaledish! Talkish? Statish. 03:38, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello! I’m completely new to Wikipedia and haven’t made any edits yet. I’d like to start contributing properly, so could you please suggest what kinds of edits are safest for a beginner and what common mistakes I should avoid? Thank you! --Wicayonima (talk) 03:24, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

@Wicayonima I recommend Help:Introduction and Wikipedia:A primer for newcomers. In general editors will be understanding to mistakes provided its obvious you're trying to be helpful. I might start by using the Special:Random button and seeing if you can expand or correct errors in articles. Over time you will gain a good sense of what good ones look like. But if you have specific interests its easier to give targeted advice. Scaledish! Talkish? Statish. 03:43, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

January–February 2026 Backlog Drive | New pages patrol
New Pages Patrol is hosting a one-time, two-month experimental backlog drive aimed at reducing the backlog. This will be a combo drive: both articles and redirects will earn points. The drive will run from 1 January to 28 February 2026. The drive is divided into two phases. Participants may take part in either phase or across both phases, depending on availability. Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled during the drive. Two-month drive-exclusive barnstars will be awarded to eligible participants. Each article review earns 1 point, while each redirect review earns 0.2 points. Streak awards will be granted based on consistently meeting weekly point thresholds. Barnstars will also be awarded for re-reviewing articles previously reviewed by other patrollers during the drive. Interested in participating? Sign up here.

Ahoy, you are my randomly assigned mentor. I removed a redirect https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mook_(gaming)&action=history because it made sense https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mob_(video_games)#Mook but now there is a blank page, and I don't want that. Theyflower (talk) 01:18, 2 January 2026 (UTC)

For the future, you can use WP:CSD templates with the appropriate category. However this blanking has been undone by another editor with the reason "would need a separate discussion to delete the redirect" Scaledish! Talkish? Statish. 03:38, 3 January 2026 (UTC)

Arbitration

• Due to the result of a recent motion, a rough consensus of administrators at the arbitration enforcement noticeboard may impose an expanded topic ban on Israel, Israelis, Jews, Judaism, Palestine, Palestinians, Islam, and/or Arabs, if an editor's Arab-Israeli conflict topic ban is determined to be insufficient to prevent disruption. At least one diff per area expanded into should be cited.

Miscellaneous

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

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!} 00:45, 8 March 2026 (UTC)
