|text = Welcome to my talk page! I'm in a pretty busy time of my life right now, so if you’re a newcomer with a question about editing, you can try the Teahouse for a faster answer.

I archive my talk page pretty regularly, so if you're wondering where a recent conversation went, check the links in the archive box.

Question from [[User:Ktonia|Ktonia]] (16:43, 5 April 2025)

Hi mentor :)

I've just completely edited a Numen/ For use page on Croatian Wikipedia and I've noticed that this edit wasn't added to a total number of my edits. As I am currently trying to gain experience to be able to create a page in the near future, the number of completed edits is pretty important to me so I wanted to check with you whether stuff I do on Croatian hr.wikipedia counts or not? Also - I would like to change the name of the page I edited from just Numen to Numen/For use (which is actually correct) but I don't see the option to edit the page title? Thanks, Ktonia --Ktonia (talk) 16:43, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

:Hello, {{u|Ktonia}}! Apologies for the delay in response; I've had a bit of a busy weekend. Yes, each individual language Wikipedia (or other Wikimedia project) is its own project{{snd}}en.wiki has different rules from hr.wiki which is different from de.wiki and so on and so forth. English Wikipedia's 4 days/10 edits requirement for creating articles is based on edits here on this language Wikipedia, so you'll be past that threshold with a few more edits and a little more time. I'd caution, though, that the limit exists because it takes time to learn the policies, guidelines, and best practices for creating an article here, so it will be easier for you if you practice editing existing articles before you create a new one. Unfortunately I'm unfamiliar with Croatian so I don't think I'll be able to help you with changing the page title there{{snd}}best I can do is point you to Help:Move, which is how it's done here.

:Hope this helps, and feel free to stop by with any more questions! Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 03:21, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from [[User:Leonid.Zolotarev|Leonid.Zolotarev]] (23:25, 6 April 2025)

Hi!

I’m working on getting this Wikipedia article published: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:United_States_Prestige_Proof_Sets. It’s been declined a few times with a standard response about insufficient referencing. I’ve since added more sources, and I’d really appreciate your help reviewing the reference coverage to see if it now meets the notability and sourcing standards.

Thanks so much! --Leonid.Zolotarev (talk) 23:25, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

:Hi {{u|Leonid.Zolotarev}}, unfortunately I've had a pretty busy weekend and I don't have the time to look in-depth right now. One thing you can do is check your sources with the Source assess template to check what criteria they fulfill for notability (I did skim the sources but can't currently look more deeply for reliability). You can also ask at the Teahouse about advice in general or the reliable sources noticeboard for source reliability specifically. I'll try to look more when I have more time but didn't want to leave you without an answer for too long{{snd}}hope some of those resources help you get a headstart, and feel free to stop by if you have any other specific questions and I'll try to answer them! Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 03:21, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from [[User:Alec Cazas|Alec Cazas]] (17:30, 7 April 2025)

Hi. I signed up today to publish an article about who I am and what I do. But I don't seem to be able to find my page yet. Could you please help me to do it?

Many thanks --Alec Cazas (talk) 17:30, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

:{{u|Alec Cazas}}, welcome, and, uh, don't do that. Creating an article on Wikipedia as a newcomer is difficult{{snd}}it's like trying to run a half marathon on your first day of training. Creating one about yourself is harder still. Before you look at how, though, you should read An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing and realize that such an article cannot promote you{{snd}}it must be neutral, like an encyclopedia entry. In fact, Wikipedia strongly discourages writing about yourself for the reasons explained below, though we do maintain a section on alternative outlets and a directory of such.

:If you still want to create an article, you have to meet two minimums: first, the subject has to be notable by Wikipedia's definition (the specific guideline for people is here), and the article should be based on reliable, independent, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. Second, you have to follow the biographies of living people policy, which says that any challengeable claim about a person must be backed up by a reference. If you were to write about yourself, you would have to forget everything you know about you and write just what the sources say{{snd}}quite difficult to do about oneself. You also need to declare your conflict of interest and submit it as a draft through the articles for creation process. In short, it's unlikely to work out or to work out well. You are always welcome to improve existing articles unrelated to you though!

:There's much more to know that goes into creating an article, this is a lot to start with, so feel free to let me know if you have any more editing questions and happy editing ~ Perfect4th (talk) 22:24, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
