Hello, gdshordy here and I just want to say that I have done my part for the lead ad fixed up the issues for the single "If Looks Could Kill", if you could check it out and reach out to me as soon as possible, that would be delightful!

Hello @thilio

Thank you for offering yourself as a helper for my new article. I'm new to wikipedia, and I know there are so many guidelines to follow. I've been working on this article and got it rejected a couple times and reworked it. I'm looking for some sincere help, and constructive feedback. I'm very open to make any changes needed

Here it is: Draft:Staycation (TV series)

@Thilio sorry, I forgot to tag you properly on my previous message. User972364 (talk) 11:17, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Happy to help User972364. I suggest we shift the conversation to the draft's talk page. 🐍 Thilio🤖 11:45, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

@Thilio okay, let's continue there. Thank you User972364 (talk) 14:22, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Hello, @Thilio

I understand there is some misunderstanding about my Jake Silvia Racing page. It is a real team, yes we are a small team but we are real. If you could provide me with feedback on how to improve my page or update me on guidelines that would be great but rest assured we are a real team from Rhode Island. Denado1 (talk) 02:15, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

@Denado1 Since you are directly connected to (Draft:Jake Silvia Racing) please take a look at Wikipedia’s guidance here (Conflict of Interest (COI)). It’s usually better for people with a close connection to a topic to suggest changes on the talk page rather than editing directly to help keep things neutral.

For the draft to move forward it will need (independent, reliable references) that give significant coverage of the team. Primary sources like your website or social media don’t carry much weight on Wikipedia. Please I suggest you to see referencing guide its explains how to add citations properly and what kinds of sources are best.

Improving your draft with solid third party sources will give it a better chance of being accepted when it’s eventually submitted for review. 🐍 Thilio🤖 07:18, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

Alright, what would I do if I happen to not find anything online as we are a very small team in the Northeast? Brand exposure is very important in our racing scene and this was one of the things on our list... Who would you suggest make the page and what should my next steps be? Denado1 (talk) 21:09, 17 August 2025 (UTC)

@Denado1 The first things that popped up when I searched for Jake Silvia Racing in search engines were Facebook, Instagram & some self-published websites like DriverDB.

As you said, Brand exposure is very important in our racing scene and this was one of the things on our list. The first step I suggest is to focus on online exposure through local or verified interviews (e.g BBC News or other reliable local news outlets). After that collect all your references.

Before doing anything further, make sure you read and fully understand Conflict of Interest. Then work on your sandbox and ask any editor to help you move it into the mainspace. 🐍 Thilio🤖 06:59, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi Thilio,

Thanks for your comment on the Teahouse today. I read your profile and am really impressed by the different groups that you're a part of. I even added myself to the Feedback Request Service group.

My primary aim to come to Wikipedia has been to fight Vandalism. I see you have a lot of userboxes, stating you use Twinkle, and that you're part of SVT, among many other things.

As a newcomer, I was wondering if you have any recommendations/suggestions for me about how and where to begin so that I can contribute to antivandalism effectively.

Looking forward to your suggestions! Kingsacrificer (talk) 11:21, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

@Kingsacrificer Thanks a lot for your kind message and welcome again! It’s great to hear that you are interested in contributing to anti-vandalism work, that’s one of the most valuable things new editors can do and it’s always encouraging to see more people joining it.

Here's few suggestions to get started...

A good place to begin is the Recent changes feed you can keep an eye out for obvious vandalism (nonsense, bad faith edits and so on) and revert it. Also since you mentioned Twinkle that’s a great start. It makes reverting and warning editors much easier.

Learn common warning levels: Wikipedia uses a system of escalating warnings for vandalism (from level 1 to 4). Twinkle can handle these automatically but it’s good to understand what each level means. If you come across persistent vandals you can report them at Administrator intervention against vandalism.

Sometimes it’s easy to get frustrated at repeated vandalism but keeping communication polite and assuming good faith when possible helps a lot.

If you’d like to practice you might find the Counter-Vandalism Academy helpful. It’s a guided place where you can learn step by step. Feel free to ping me anytime if you’d like feedback on your antivandalism work. happy editing! Thilio^{R O B O T🤖 talk} 11:59, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the detailed response. I checked all the sources you mentioned.

I went to the Recent changes feed. Seems like there is an active bot that does most of the 'reverting' for cases of obvious vandalism. I scoured through the list, found only one instance worth reverting (wouldn't even call it obvious vandalism but it was an unnecessary change) and reverted it.

I tried enabling Twinkle but I'm not autoconfirmed as my account is only 2 days old. I also checked the WP:Antivandal tool, but it seems to have the same restriction. I will look into both the tools soon.

The CVA sounds like a very good opportunity, but it recommends that a user makes atleast 200 edits before teaming up with a trainer. I have only made around 100 edits, and a lot of them are talk page edits as well so I don't know if they count.

Anyways, will keep in touch!

Thanks a lot for your guidance Kingsacrificer (talk) 13:01, 11 September 2025 (UTC)

Hello Thilio, you substantially bettered my article on this Zimbabwe documentary at the end of last month - which I thankyou again for. If you happen to have the time and interest, could you possibly have another look at it, since I think (hope) it is much closer to being finished now. I've added some additional references, and as this is my only article, I don't know how to write them properly. There's no doubt some other things that you may pick up. If you could find some time, I would really appreciate your help if you're able. Thankyou. WikiAdd01 (talk) 07:33, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

@WikiAdd01  Done, Now the draft is awaiting a review. This may take 2 months or more, since drafts are reviewed in no specific order.

@Bagwe Neza Thank you for your contributions and effort in creating the article Kaushik Burman all refs appear to be in order and the article is generally well built.

Please clean up the section and I will review it again once that is done. Thank you. Thilio^{R O B O T🤖 talk} 09:15, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

@Bagwe Neza I reviewed Teeko Tozay Yorlay, JUST A few improvements are needed (A) the infobox has many empty or deprecated fields. (B) the "Early life and education" section uses an Academia.edu source that may not meet reliability standards... (C) the Career and Diplomatic career sections could be trimmed for neutrality... (D) the "Engagement" section title is unclear.... and (E) the "Disputes" section is BLP-sensitive and should rely on strong independent sources.

Hi @Thilio, congratulations! I learned that you are now a permanent NPR.

I noticed, promotional tone in articles is an easy mistake to make for a new user, and I want to get better at avoiding it when writing larger articles. If there’s any hints, guidelines or essays you’ve found particularly helpful, I’d really appreciate it. You’re also welcome to check how I did on my recent new articles. Thank you. Bagwe Neza (talk) 16:39, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

Many thanks once again Thilio for all of your help with the All the President's Elephants page. I'm trying now to add a clickable link to the Sharon Pincott Wikipedia page, which already mentions the All the President's Elephants documentary - but it's telling me that the documentary is not a valid link (unless I'm doing something wrong). Does it take a while for the newly created article to be recognised? And I just need to wait a while? Or is there a different issue? Would you mind having a look? Thanks yet again for your help. WikiAdd01 (talk) 06:17, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

Oops, sorry, Thilio for wasting your time. I just tried it again and it worked. I think I was putting the brackets in the wrong place. Thank you! WikiAdd01 (talk) 06:28, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

Hoi, the reaction is as expected. It is one of the reason why I hardly ever edit Wikipedia anymore. Consider your response, it is about form not substance. Given the sheer economic relevance of what the substance is. Impact on people, economic impact for the economy of countries given that there external sources for African subjects are hard to come by, given that there is an external document confirming the impact, I respectfully disagree with the notion that this is advertisement. GerardM (talk) 10:58, 16 November 2025 (UTC)

@GerardM the reaction is as expected. It is one of the reason why I hardly ever edit Wikipedia anymore. Consider your response, I'm sorry, I know how hard you've worked on Draft:Sun King (company), moving it back to draftSpace doesn't mean your work is rejected it's just that to alert you to add more effort improving it, currently the DRAFT reads like a promotional piece rather than a neutral encyclopedic entry not only that it also lacks independent, reliable sources to verify claims (most references are primary, from the company itself) also you need to do some minor fixes like Bare Urls, and Citing the sources in right sentences, see HOW TO CITING SOURCES. Again, I'm sorry. Please don't let this be one of the reasons why you hardly edit Wikipedia anymore. Focus on improving the draft quality and then resubmit it for AfC review. Thanks.

Hello Thilio, me again! I had added 4 photos in total (with some difficulty, since I had not done this before) to the All the President's Elephants page, which had been previously uploaded to Wikipedia by the owner of these photos - ie by head of the Production Company of the documentary, Mr Bergh from Triosphere - for free use. They all had descriptions. A bot has now removed 3 of these photos and I don't understand why. Are you able to shed any light on this for me? Thank you once again. (Is there a limit on the amount of photos that can be used on a page? Where they uploaded incorrectly? Did I do something wrong?) WikiAdd01 (talk) 23:59, 19 November 2025 (UTC)

Additional info - I will ensure that the CEO of South African Production Company, Triosphere - Oloff Bergh - who has already given a signed permission-to-use letter for any of their photographs that were previously taken during documentary filming (apparently not worded correctly for Wiki), to write/send a different appropriately worded Email to Wiki for all of the photos that were previously added to this article (and then deleted), so that they can be uploaded again. WikiAdd01 (talk) 16:39, 20 November 2025 (UTC)

@WikiAdd01 Sorry for the late reply I thought I had responded but I didn't, lol. Anyway, the full instructions are to ask the CEO to send the permission to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org.

Hi Thilio, in the age of AI, the "ROBOT" text (and arguably the emoji too, but mostly the text) looks like a disclaimer that your message came from a bot. Especially when you patrol recent changes and review article drafts, I think this is a too-likely and too-problematic impression on the recipients. Would you mind using a less confusing signature? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:12, 21 November 2025 (UTC)

Hello Thilio:

WikiProject Articles for creation is holding a month long Backlog Drive in December!
The goal of this drive is to reduce the backlog of unreviewed drafts to less than half a month of outstanding reviews from the current 2+ months. Bonus points will be given for reviewing drafts that have been waiting more than 30 days. The drive is running from 1 December 2025 through 31 December 2025.

You may find Category:AfC pending submissions by age or other categories and sorting helpful.

Barnstars will be given out as awards at the end of the drive.
There is a backlog of over 3000 pages, so start reviewing drafts. We're looking forward to your help!

Hello, I noticed that you reverted a temporary account, ~2025-39518-33 (talk · contribs), two days ago: Special:Diff/1326512329, and this was marked as a rollback and AntiVandal edit. But these are the two edits you reverted, the only two performed by that temporary account: Special:Diff/1326507822 and Special:Diff/1326512213, which combined together changed the wikilink [[Amateur|dilettante]] to [[wiktionary:dilettante|dilettante]]. The merits of this could I suppose be debated, though I would argue these edits were a marginal improvement. More to the point, I didn't see any reason to believe these were rollback-worthy vandalism edits. In case I'm missing some context here, would you be willing to explain this use of rollback? Thank you, both for your anti-vandalism work and for your time! — Johan Brahm (talk) 01:50, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

@Johan Brahm That's not strictly vandalism but it is an unhelpful and inappropriate change unconstructive Please read my level 1 warning on the Tempo account User Talk. [[wiktionary:dilettante|dilettante]] sends readers off-wiki and it removes encyclopedic context (interwiki links to dictionaries ooh is generally discouraged) and the tempo account edit summary says The wrong description was showing for dilettante. It was showing amatuer, that's not wrong descip, dilettante is a Disambiguation for Amateur please see Dilettante. oh and also AntiVandal is designed to catch such unhelpful edits. Thank you.

Hi @Thilio

I noticed on the article I created Joekels, that you previously made some small edits. The article has now been marked as AfD, and I was wondering if it would be possible for you to assist in the voting discussion to help keep it up, and help improve the article further, so that it can improve and avoid deletion. I'm not sure if this is correct protocol to follow here as I am pretty new to Wikipedia, but I thought I would give it a shot. Thanks in advance. Van1985 (talk) 08:42, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

@Van1985 Sorry to say this but Joekels does not satisfy WP:NCORP or WP:ORGIND criteria. CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 09:37, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

These links that I have references are all reliable, independent sources, and well-recognised in South Africa as credible sources, so I'm not sure why it has been said that all the sources are promotional or company websites.

Source 1

Source 2

Source 3

Source 4

I have removed company profiles references.

Third-party sources like Bizcommunity and Business Day are also good sources for company notability.

I feel like there is strong, independent coverage here showing that the company is notable. Van1985 (talk) 10:05, 12 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi there, and thanks for your help with NPP! I noticed you have recently created multiple stubs for English politicians. As I was reviewing them, I noticed a few were for people who already appeared to have a Wikipedia article (i.e., Edward Walpole (1621–1668) and Henry Waltham (d.1668)). I checked for these based on the disambiguators and found that the sources to the History of Parliament were the same for the new and existing articles. As you create new articles, please double check that we do not have existing articles. Thank you! Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 16:26, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

@Significa liberdade I did a full checkup and double-checked everything before creating these stubs. I may have missed some as some MPs have the same names which is confusing and tricky. I'm sure I missed these two. Again, thanks for the notes I'll take two or three extra steps next time. :) CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 16:41, 13 December 2025 (UTC)

The draft already includes such newspaper articles, and I would like to understand if additional source types are required beyond these. InfoNodeSL (talk) 12:00, 19 December 2025 (UTC)

@InfoNodeSL We do not require only major national newspapers other types of independent sources are also acceptable. Currently uo draft does not meet Notability criteria for Academics

1. The person's research has had a significant impact in their scholarly discipline, broadly construed, as demonstrated by independent reliable sources.

2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.

3. The person has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association (e.g., a National Academy of Sciences or the Royal Society) or a fellow of a major scholarly society which reserves fellow status as a highly selective honor (e.g., Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers or Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Physics).

The Awards section verified only with CSSL'S own publications (Which we call Primary sources).

Leadership roles are confirmed by IEEE and SLAAS, REF 18 (Also primary). Independent COVERAGE exists but is too limited and even focused. CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 11:41, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

I saw your comment on this draft and I am extremely disappointed by your contention that this draft should be "G5 deleted regardless of sources." This article would benefit Wikipedia if added and connect to the one of Maggie Kang, his wife. I urge you to *not* delete this draft, regardless of the conclusions at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Jaredryandloneria. That would a detriment to all of Wikipedia. Thanks.

Hi,

I'm hoping you can provide guidance on my draft article. After the prior rejection, I asked AI to review the draft, and discovered my article has more independent references than peer articles that were previously approved. A few examples of many:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Pan_American_Wushu_Championships https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Wushu_Championships https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_World_Wushu_Championships

AI actually suggested that my article may actually have too many references, that would make it difficult to review!? As a new contributor, I don't know if that is even a real thing on Wikipedia? I just know the event itself is of high notability, especially relative to the standards previously established on Wikipedia for such events.

Thanks for your help and happy holidays. Brodyking1970 (talk) 23:50, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

@Brodyking1970 I'm sorry for late reply.... I asked AI to review the draft, and discovered my article has more independent references than peer articles that were previously approved. A few examples of many... First Thank you for contributing on that Draft.... MY advice to you as new contributor please do not use or depend on AI.... Do not compare articles using AI what you should be doing is compare structures, see the way how they cited using Wikipedia guidelines. Currently your draft fails WP:EVENT. The current sources are routine event reporting which WP:EVENT explicitly says is not enough ALSO there is no independent analysis discussing "Why this specific 2024 edition is historically significant" ALSO even though the tone is not extreme the structure still READS like An official program AND a press release or lemme say an event report.... Please add INDEPENDENT secondary sources to explain why the event is notable beyond its OCCURRENCE. Thanks CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 07:31, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

Hi,

Thanks for your review on Draft:Joel_Joseph_(musician), I real appreciate it but i have check all the sources listed such as 1. ( https://notjustok.com/article/joel-joseph-drops-afro-jungle-ep/) it talks about his album Ep and this a reliable source. 2. ( https://www.mpasho.co.ke/entertainment/2025-12-11-inside-afro-jungle-mr-joel-josephs-sonic-journey-through-culture-love-and-movement ) This as well talks about his releases as Mr Joel Joseph 3. ( https://conversationsabouther.net/mr-joel-joseph-blends-afrobeat-and-amapiano-on-new-ep-afro-jungle/ ) Also talk about his Music album 4. (https://www.tnx.africa/diaspora/article/2001536666/tanzanian-musician-mr-puaz-rebrands-to-mr-joel-joseph-eyes-nairobi-promo-tour-with-fresh-ep ) It talk about his rebranding from Mr Puaz to Mr Joel Joseph 5. ( https://www.bbc.com/swahili/habari-46748076 ) The BBC Swahili talks about his career as artist manager with his former name Mr Puaz ) 6. ( https://hivisasa.com/posts/66874273-mr-puaz-wins-most-supportive-man-at-starqt-awards-in-south-africa ) talks about his awards as Mr Puaz

from all these sources and as per Wikipedia:MUSICBIO and more links that has been shared this shows notability . Kindly let me know your views . Thanks Sasavara (talk) 12:03, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

@Sasavara THANKS. The issue is not reliability alone but whether the sources provide significant, independent coverage and the sources you listed are mostly routine coverage of releases, branding, announcements and interviews which are likely promotional features. CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 13:04, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

almost forget, the BBC source mentions Mr Puaz only as a participant in the Harmonize WCB Wasafi split. It is supporting evidence but not sufficient in-depth, independent coverage of the subject. THANKS AGAIN CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 13:06, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your respond but am a bit skeptical on some of the sources you claim . ( https://notjustok.com/article/joel-joseph-drops-afro-jungle-ep/ ) this article shows notability of the subject and many others as it shows in depth of his album release. and also the stage name has been redirected from Mr Joel Joseph to Joel Joseph which is not primarily his stage name. Sasavara (talk) 13:11, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

@Sasavara The DRAFT is well cited but needs clearer demonstration of notability beyond PR, releases and rebranding news. My advice please add one or two more major newspaper or magazine PF that have focused significantly on him not only Harmonize, if there's another BBC source that fully focusing on him add it and ping me.

how ever initially the name was Mr Joel Joseph not Joel Joseph ( Musician ) it was redirected by other admin to Musician. and so the content written are both previous work as a Talent Manager and currently as Musician which includes both sources that details his both careers. would you be kind and move the name back to Mr Joel Joseph? kindly Sasavara (talk) 15:08, 24 December 2025 (UTC)

In addition to the sources already cited, there are further independent Record articles that provide broader coverage beyond simple results listings, including contextual reporting on the athlete’s development and competitive career.

According to a notice on the article copy, I need an administrator to perform a merge between "Draft: AJ Gracia" and "AJ Gracia" articles. I originally titled the article "A.J.

Hi,

I am a bit confused about your tag on one of the articles that I created. You said it needs more sources for verification, but then you also said it could be refbombed. Those are usually mutually incompatible things on such a short article. It meets WP:NBOOK. Lastly, you did not mark the page as reviewed yet, even though you said you reviewed it. I will move some sources up from the bottom as well now. Iljhgtn (they/them · talk) 00:41, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

@Iljhgtn I tagged more sources needed and mentioned avoiding Notability bomb, I was talking about where the sources are placed, not how many there are, yep the article can meet WP:NBOOK, but it helps for sources verification when citations are added directly to the sentences they support, instead of being grouped at the end of of last section. I did review the page and left feedback but I didn't mark it as reviewed yet because I was waiting for those fixes.. Once theyre done I'm happy to mark it as reviewed. CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 01:39, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

I updated the content section to include the ISBN book reference, the other ref are in reception where those citations should be. It is just a basic book article, so its got enough there I think to be reviewed for now, and more could be added to it in time if anyone wants. Thanks for your time and for looking at it. I really appreciate it. Iljhgtn (they/them · talk) 01:52, 1 February 2026 (UTC)

Hello, what makes Wikipedia articles neutral instead of biased? Thanks! --The Conservative Journalist (talk) 03:47, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

@The Conservative Journalist sorry took me long to reply,  i would have send you to read neutral point of view straight but simple brief explanations would do. editors as us, we don't write what we know or what we think we know, we write what comes with reliable sources or what reliable sources says. Also on other hand we do not take sides like for example if a topic has different views, we include all the important ones and give them spaces based on how much they appear in good sources. Also tones, like, no attacking words, no opinions and no praise words we keep clear factual lang. If something is a claim then attributes swop in AND we never add our own analysis. That all comes to everything must be verifiable. basically neutrality all bout sources, balance and careful words. Visit A primer for newcomers. CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 10:17, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

@Thilio Thanks for responding. I now see what neutrality means. But, as I am looking at the evolution page, it doesn't seem that it is quite neutral. "All life on Earth—including humanity—shares a last universal common ancestor (LUCA), which lived approximately 3.5–3.8 billion years ago." We don't even know if this happened. This is mere view, not necessarily the truth...I'm not sure if this is a neutral point of view. It should say that it is a CLAIM, not state it like a fact. Nevertheless, it is locked, which means it a controversial topic. The Conservative Journalist (talk) 15:20, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

@The Conservative Journalist: These are very interesting topics sometimes I also wonder but from my understanding, neutrality does not mean we say that THIS IS JUST A CLAIM when there is a strong scientific agreement and it gets backed up with Reliable sources. And thy idea of last universal common ancestor(LUCA) reflect the main stream scientific consensus in biology based on genetic and fossil evidence... Because it is widely accepted in reliable sources, that's why the article states it in a factual way. the Human evolution page get protected because of Vandalisms and the last universal common ancestor also get protected because disruptive editing only autoconfirmed or confirmed access can access it not because it is a biased. For you, if you think you need to improve something there, you can use their talk pages of Couse with reliable sources. Bonus, see Wikipedia:Everything you need to know.

For example, I failed WP:OR but my article didn't contain any original research. And it is said that Wikipedia articles must not contain original research. TheGreatEditor024 (talk) 06:55, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

@TheGreatEditor024 the medal count table I REVIEWED the total is 72 not 73 and the source says

India made their Deaflympics debut in 1965 and had won 52 medals at the multi-sport event heading into the 2025 edition.

and also the same source says

A total of 73 Indian athletes

The 73 figure appears to refer to the number of athletes not medals. the source did not say

India has won a total of 73 medals at the Summer Deaflympics since its debut in 1965.

, Since the total of 73 medals is not explicitly stated in the source and appears to be derived by calculation, this constitutes original research under WP:NOR. That was WHY I failED as OR. CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 07:27, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

Well, The Deaflympics became popular in India after the 2021 edition so, the media sources in India shows mistake. So I used the official Deaflympic website. TheGreatEditor024 (talk) 07:38, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi, I'm interested in combating vandalism. Is there somewhere I can do that? --The Conservative Journalist (talk) 21:31, 1 March 2026 (UTC)

@The Conservative Journalist: yes! the best place I personal recommended is Recent Changes, See guides @Wikipedia:Recent changes patrol, also I recommend you to install Twinkle it will help you warn editors who do vandel. And finally you need to be more careful with you revert because Some edits may be made in good faith even if they are incorrect or poorly formatted. Always check the page history and assume good faith before taking action tho. CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 17:34, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

You declined my draft for the Baloney Detection Kit. The quotations need to be condensed, at least. Please help with that! But the tools are important, and worthy of an article. Charlie Faust (talk) 17:30, 3 March 2026 (UTC)

My article India at the Deaflympics is rated as start class because the reviewer claimed that it contained a lot of primary data. but now I have replaced all the primary data with secondary data. can you check if the article can be rated a C class or a B class. TheGreatEditor024 (talk) 19:51, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

@TheGreatEditor024 that's great work you have been doing on that article, the reviewer is right the article has too many P sources. My advice for you is to replace all the Primary sources with indept reliable secondary sources, the tricky part is please also avoid WP:CITATION OVERKILL because the article seems to be heading in that direction. Other thing is, just keep working on improving the article don't worry too much about Content assessment for now, eventually other editors or reviewers will evaluate it as C class or B class if it fit the CA criteria. Excellent work, keep it up. cheers. CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 01:58, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

Thank you, I did feel like doing citation overkill but i didn't know if that was true or not. because I have only read about it, not seen an example. Ill delete some. TheGreatEditor024 (talk) 03:43, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

btw I did replace many of the primary sources. before there was over 27 primary sources but now there are only 7 primary sources. TheGreatEditor024 (talk) 03:48, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi. I hope you are doing well. In your edition here you collapsed two of my comentaries, but the editor Gnomingstuff said only the first one was "likely AI-generated". Could you correct that? Thanks in advance. Markus WikiEditor (talk) 10:21, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

Did you use AI to write the first cmt? If yes, the second one also appears to show signs of AI gen. pls avoid the use of AI special in WP:AfD decisions like voting or commenting or making a point etc, in fact avoid the use of AI at all. Please read WP:HATGPT. Thanks. CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 10:49, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi, what articles should be included in the see also section? seems like it should include anything that is already linked to in the main body right? --Redpandatrans (talk) 21:24, 8 March 2026 (UTC)

@Redpandatrans See also section should not include anything that is already linked to the main body. A see also section is only for related articles or let me say related Topics. for example, imagine a song title "Sky Is Blue" and the "See also" should be or include links like "List of songs about weather" or something like, "Blue color in music" and so on, since they are related topics. Read "See also" section. bonus, please read also A primer for newcomers. CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 16:44, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi mentor. How do I enter citations with a new edit --Cloudfeve (talk) 18:58, 10 March 2026 (UTC)

@Cloudfeve Heyyaa, I am glad you're here. OKAY. to add citation first open your Edit source then move the cursor after the sentence you want to cite. For example, The world is ending tomorrow.<ref></ref>. inside the <ref> tag, add a citation template. Example, The world is ending tomorrow.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://ww.bbcnews.com/they-say-the-is-ending |title=The world is ending |website=BBCNews |access-date=10 March 2026}}</ref> like that you're good to go. Also Read WP:Citing sources for more information on how to add or enter citations. another thing I recommend you read is A primer for newcomers.

Hello Thilio, I was just wondering when you can become an admin. Do you have any tips? --The Conservative Journalist (talk) 18:17, 17 March 2026 (UTC)

@The Conservative Journalist Actually basically there's no fixed time or timeline for editor to become admin, also it very rare for new editors to be elected because first thing first you need to gain experience maybe 1 year or 2 years or 5 years of experience and community trust. So I'm current just focusing on building that. As for that tips, what I have been doing like, contributing and learning policies well and also getting involved in areas like AfC, NPP, AfD and anti vandel. That helps build the experience needed for RfA. Not just those there are also areas like CSD tagging, RC patrol, copyediting and cleanup, adding reliable sources, expanding articles and so on. The most important thing is experience and building community trust. CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 08:32, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello I would like to understand how to include my Bio on Wikipedia. --Mwiinga Simulyampondo (talk) 21:16, 20 March 2026 (UTC)

@Mwiinga Simulyampondo: Heyya glad you're here and sorry for late reply. One thing first I'd like to point out that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a place for personal profiles or self promotion, we want or write biographies not autobiographies and other thing to know articles here are only created about people who meet our Notability. If you believe you meet WP:Notability (people) you may create for yourself an article tho this is strongly discourages due to conflict of interest COI see WP:COI and WP:AUTOBIO. You can create your bio using Articles for creation and Disclose your connection. I also recommend you reading WP:A primer for newcomers It will help you for your journey as well as WP:YFA.

@Pppery could you please move the article Adut Salva Kiir to Draft:Adut Salva Kiir and merge the histories? The article is not ready for mainspace, fails WP:NPOL and duplicates an existing draft. CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 12:06, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

WP:Parallel histories prevent a history merge. I've moved the page to Draft:Adut Salva Kiir 2. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 20:21, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

That's better too. Thanks. CONFUSED SPIRIT(Thilio).Talk 20:30, 22 March 2026 (UTC)

Hello Thilio,

I think we should remove a sentence in Claude (language model). It states:

Context: "According to the Wall Street Journal, the U.S. military used Claude in its 2026 raid on Venezuela."

Unrelated sentence: "While it isn't known to what capacity Claude was used, the operation resulted in the deaths of 83 people, 2 of which were civilians, and the capture of President Nicolás Maduro."

I removed the unrelated sentence, but another editor undid it, and said that I should get consensus on the talk page before removing it. I don't think that it is necessary for every edit, especially when removing unrelated info. That said, I would appreciate your feedback and/or support. --The Conservative Journalist (talk) 22:14, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
