Question from [[User:Kevliuliu|Kevliuliu]] (04:33, 18 March 2025)

Hi Elli,

An editor has nominated my article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dim_Tu_Tac) for deletion. It is recognized as "not a notable restaurant," although I have included reliable sources in the article.

Could you give me advice on how to improve the article? I would be pleased to update the article to comply with Wikipedia's policy.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards. --Kevliuliu (talk) 04:33, 18 March 2025 (UTC)

:@Kevliuliu hi, and I'm really sorry for not replying to you earlier. Seems like the article got kept, and I think you generally have the right idea about how to show notability. One important consideration: no amount of editing can overcome a lack of notability -- there's some topics where the sources just don't exist, and there is nothing you can do about it. However, this doesn't look like one of them. Elli (talk | contribs) 20:14, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from [[User:LoopNORA|LoopNORA]] (12:27, 2 April 2025)

Hello could I ask you how I could make my recent made page better any suggestions or recommendations?

Here's the link it is currently a draft

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Nora-alliance --LoopNORA (talk) 12:27, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

:@LoopNORA thanks for reaching out. I don't think any of the sources in that page demonstrate notability. None of the sources cited talk about the organization itself. You'd need multiple independent, reliable sources with significant coverage of the organization to be notable. I suggest you work on finding those first.

Hello mam,

I recently posted a article why is it not published? --Pramod2723 (talk) 08:38, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

:@Pramod2723 I assume you are talking about User:Pramod2723/sandbox? It is in your sandbox currently. I suggest you submit it via articles for creation when you're ready to publish it. In its current state, it stands effectively no chance of being accepted, though. You need more independent reliable sources with significant coverage of the subject, and all content in the page needs to have a source. Elli (talk | contribs) 20:20, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Absent Description

I recently added a subject, Kenechi Uzor, but his description, "writer and publisher", doesn't show up in the search box here on Wikipedia and the subject doesn't appear on Google. What is the problem? Rema36 (talk) 12:13, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

:@Rema36 I don't know about the Wikipedia search, but for Google, the page hasn't been indexed yet because it has not yet been patrolled by a new page patroller. You'll just have to wait for it to be reviewed. Elli (talk | contribs) 20:22, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from [[User:Nopowernoblood|Nopowernoblood]] (03:01, 10 April 2025)

I think the ‘Discrimination against atheists’ page should be renamed to ‘Persecution of atheists’ since you can still get the death penalty for it in 13 countries. I really don’t understand that talk page at all.

There are many specific pages for “Persecution against [religious group] in so-and-so”, and I don’t like anti-atheism bias nor that it has just a catch-all page that I don’t know if is really updated good?

Also, it’s persecution for religious groups, but the other page it’s ’Irreligion in the Middle East’ when you can get executed in some of those countries? That’s the only two pages I see for atheists in that regard and I do think it’s ridiculous to be that obvious pro-religious.

I also think there should be some type of page that talks about Christians persecuting other groups in America, theories like evolution, used to justify slavery, LGBTQ+ repression/oppression, atheist bigotry during the Red Scare. I just see the ‘Christian persecution complex’ which doesn’t really even talk about them banning evolution for decades. Not sure if that would fit though, but.

Anyway, all I got for now thanks for reading. --Nopowernoblood (talk) 03:01, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

:I don't know how to reply to 'Prejudice vs. Discrimination" on this page like I do here, all I see is edit source? Do I start a new topic?

Question from [[User:Nopowernoblood|Nopowernoblood]] (00:49, 14 April 2025)

I can't find this page I wrote up. It was basically a short essay and I'm annoyed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#You_should_not_have_to_make_a_talk_discussion_to_change_BC/AD_to_BCE/CE_if_the_page_has_nothing_to_do_with_Christianity

Why did it deleted or moved, and why can't I view it? --Nopowernoblood (talk) 00:49, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

:@Nopowernoblood it was removed from the page by {{u|Bbb23}} because it's not really relevant to what that page discusses. WP:AN is for conduct issues and other matters relevant particularly to administrators; it's not really for discussion about content.

:On the subject of what you posted: you can generally be bold, but if someone challenges what you are doing, you have to communicate with them with the goal of forming a consensus about what to do. Whether to use BC/AD or BCE/CE is established by MOS:ERA, and if you want to change that guideline, the correct place to discuss this would be Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers.

Question from [[User:IngebRuadh|IngebRuadh]] (15:53, 19 April 2025)

Hi, may I please ask a question? I am a German retired journalist living in Glasgow, Scotland. A friend of mine, Mike Hentz, is an artist with an existing, well referenced Wikipedia page in German language. He asked me whether I could help him establish the same article in English. So basically, I would not want to create a "new" article, instead I only want to create a translated article. Is there a shortcut for setting up the translation of an existing article in another language?

In German Wikipedia, there is a button called "Importwunsch" meaning request to import, and it serves to import any language article into German Wikipedia. Still, I cannot find a similiar button in English language Wikipedia.... Thank you so much for your answer, kind regards Ingeborg. --IngebRuadh (talk) 15:53, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

:@IngebRuadh you should be able to use the Special:ContentTranslation tool here. Given that you aren't extended confirmed yet, you'll need to make the output a page in "Draft" space (like Draft:Mike Hentz) and then move it to article-space after finishing translation.
