sorry if I was not clear. I meant like a full story for my horror game. But most importantly, how do I create a page on Wikipedia for the story? HowsWorkz (talk) 04:17, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@HowsWorkz the first thing you want to do is find at least 3 reliable, independent published sources about the story. (Newspaper articles written by someone else are a good bet). If these don't exist, then unfortunately we can't have an article about it, since we need to have outside sources we can trust before we can write an article, to make sure it's accurate and unbiased.

Question from Theunpacked (00:12, 27 November 2024)
Hi, I'm Ted. I work as a language teacher, but I'm a translator for German, French and Dutch and also master English and Italian. My main goal is to translate the articles into as many languages as possible, as I repeatedly find that one is often forced to work through third languages to get some information.
Also, many of my pupils and students use Wikipedia regularly and this translation work could be another help on my part.
At the moment I am trying to get the new Wikipedia translation tool to work without success. Is it possible to translate without using the tool? --Ted Baudoin (talk) 09:59, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the tool is entirely optional, it just provides a little structure. You can edit the article directly without the tool the normal way, just make sure you attribute the source of the translation in your edit summary. Rusalkii (talk) 03:43, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oof, good catch. For a first attempt, I would revert the edits and then leave the editor a message explaining the COI policy, why you reverted them, and that they should use the WP:edit request process if they'd like to try to get the edits reinstated. If they continue after one warning, try leaving a message describing the problem at WP:COIN. Rusalkii (talk) 02:02, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Great, thank you! I did as you said. I'm completely open to criticism so feel free to review my removal notes and my note on the user talk page and offer any guidance or tips! Have a great rest of your day! S1mply.dogmom (talk) 17:00, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hello – I have a question I hope you can help me with. I am trying to get the Daredevil (Marvel Comics character) page to Good Article status. I have nominated it using the typical process, but I was wondering if there was a way to get the attention of experienced editors to review it. I have followed relevant Wikipedia guidelines, and I have various sources available to provide further references to secondary literature, if necessary. Thanks for any advice. --Wrangler1981 (talk) 20:47, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! The GA process often takes a few months, unfortunately. There are some reviewers that preferentially review nominations by editors with a lot of reviews to their name themselves, you may want to take a few reviews yourself, or there's the Wikipedia:Good_article_review_circles which pair you up with three other editors and then you all review in a circle so no one is directly reviewing their reviewer's article. If you're new to reviewing and decide to take that step you may also want to ask for a mentor experienced with the GA process here, I'm happy to help but I haven't done much with it.

Hi, I made my first edit and I wanted to make sure that I did it the right way and that it looks good.
I am a member of Acts2 Network and noticed the Wikipedia page on it was lacking in information. Furthermore, existing information was incorrect, and so I updated the information while adding a reference. Could you take a look and give me any pointers? Thank you.

Very useful for changelist patrollers, DiffUndo, by Nardog, is this edition's featured script. Taking inspiration from WP:AutoWikiBrowser's double-click-to-undo feature, it adds an undo button to every line of every diff from "show changes", optimizing partial reverts with your favorite magic spell and nearly fulfilling m:Community Wishlist/Wishes/Partial revert undo.
Doğu/Adiutor, a recent WP:Twinkle/WP:RedWarn-like userscript that follows modern WMF UI design, is now an extension. However, its sole maintainer has left the project, which still awaits WMF mw:code stewardship (among some audits) to be installed on your favorite WMF wikis.
DannyS712, our former chief editor, has ascended to MediaWiki and the greener purpley pastures of PHP with commits creating Special:NamespaceInfo and the __EXPECTUNUSEDTEMPLATE__ magic word to exclude a template from Special:UnusedTemplates! I wonder if Wikipedia has a templaters' newsletter...
BilledMammal/Move+ needs updating to order list of pages handle lists of pages to move correctly regardless of the discussion's page, so that we may avoid repeating fiasco history.
Andrybak/Unsigned helper forks Anomie/unsignedhelper to add support for binary search, automatic edit summaries after generating the {{unsigned}} template, support for {{undated}}, and support for generating while syntax highlighting is on.
Polygnotus/Move+ updates BilledMammal's classic Move+ to add automattic watchlisting of all pages—except the target page(s)—changed while processing a move.
