How to create new article --Ms!a!am!aszqwswzw (talk) 00:57, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

:@Ms!a!am!aszqwswzw: To start writing an article, please see H:YFA. It is recommended that you start writing in your userspace or draftspace. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 01:00, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

::yeah but how do i create, that article didnt help Ms!a!am!aszqwswzw (talk) 01:05, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

:::@Ms!a!am!aszqwswzw: What exactly do you mean by "creating a new article"? Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 01:06, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

::::like, Articles on Wikapedia were created by people, i want to know how to make one please. 😅 Ms!a!am!aszqwswzw (talk) 01:09, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::You create a page in your userspace or draftspace, make sure the subject of that page is notable enough, submit it for review, and wait for it to get approved. --Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 01:13, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

hey this might seem weird but i know theres some pages that dont have any links to other pages, i think theyre called "orphan" pages or smth but how do i access those pages --HazeTHATTherian (talk) 01:12, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

:@HazeTHATTherian: The only ways to access orphan pages are to either go to them via the category, or by searching for them using the search feature. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 01:15, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello help me out please how can I connect my smart watch to the mobile --Anu rani sah (talk) 12:56, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

:@Anu rani sah: Wikipedia is not a tech support forum, but the manufacturer's website might have some information. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 15:49, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Leonidlednev - I'm Jason, based in the US. I joined to become a Wikipedia editor after following DepthsofWikipedia on social media. I'm technically inclined and have worked for  for 13 years now. I will not be posting secrets though - happy to learn and help. --Pippin43 (talk) 13:44, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

:@Pippin43: Welcome to Wikipedia. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 14:07, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for answering. I have another question - how do I reopen an edit request? It says to set ans=no, but I do not see how I can achieve that --Atemperature (talk) 14:12, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

:@Atemperature: The template assumes that you are using the source editor. To switch between the two modes, press the button to the left of the publish button. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 15:20, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

I edited this a bit since it's been denied. Can you please add more reliable sources? Bearian (talk) 23:52, 12 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello. Can you assist me in creating an article for myself? --Mswazi andile (talk) 17:17, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

:@Mswazi andile: If you are trying to create an article about yourself, I would not reccomend that as you would have a conflict of interest. You should also look at WP:AUTO and WP:BIO. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 21:53, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I new to this and eager to editing. Could you provide any tips and would you be able to review my first edit? --CoreyE2025 (talk) 21:35, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

:@CoreyE2025: Your draft should be rewritten, as it was written using a large language model, as evidenced by its promotional tone and bad formatting. Also, if you would like your article to be published, it needs to be verifiable, notable, and meet additional criteria for articles related to music. Also, your userpage should be used to communicate information about yourself, not to work on articles. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 22:03, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi I am new to this platform and need help please. We have an agency who helped us with a draft BOLP for our client Tsitsi Masiyiwa which has been declined numerous times. We would like to take over managing this draft. Should we continue with the draft or create a new draft? Here is the link to the draft https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft%3ATsitsi_Masiyiwa&oldid=1289572950&action=edit --Colette2204 (talk) 10:35, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

:@Colette2204: It appears that you are writing an article about someone in exchange for compensation, as you referred to the subject of the draft as a "client". This is considered a conflict of interest and paid editing, both of which need to be declared on your user page. I did a quick Google search for the subject, but couldn't find any reliable sources to establish notability. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 13:46, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

::Hello, I have updated my user page to show the COI declaration. Please help me with next steps to rectify my customer's draft that has been declined https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Tsitsi_Masiyiwa --Colette2204 (talk) 14:43, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

:::@Colette2204: Consider doing research about the subject of your draft: looking up their name online, checking news websites (where the person is the main subject, and the article is written independently), then add those sources to the draft. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 21:17, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

::::Hello do you suggest that I rewrite this draft by what the credible sources have said about the subject. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Tsitsi_Masiyiwa --Colette2204 (talk) 11:52, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

Dear person not actually named Leon,

I am 14 and would like to create an online presence of myself as a nonexistent internet entity because I have nothing else to do, think it would be funny and plan for it to run a couple years. I need help getting started though.

please help,

Hola, como puedo crear una articulo y colocarle una imagen? --Andresito334 (talk) 14:12, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

:@Andresito334: To create an article, first create a draft in your userspace or the draftspace. To insert images, upload them to either Commons (if the image has a free license) or locally. On another note, you may be looking for the Spanish Wikipedia, as this is the English Wikipedia. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 23:44, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

A user reverted what I added and wrote: Restored revision 1290135910 by 92.18.142.137 (talk): Per MOS:FOREIGNEQUIV and WP:OFFICIAL

What does that mean? It was in the article Nador in Morocco --Bananakingler (talk) 23:32, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

:@Bananakingler: When a user mentions policies or the Manual of Style in the summary, they are citing a reason for reverting your edit. In your case, adding the extra language cluttered the first sentence ({{tq|Non-English names should be moved to a footnote or elsewhere in the article if they would otherwise clutter the first sentence}}), so it was reverted. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 23:40, 1 June 2025 (UTC)

Dear Leonidlednev,

I have a question regarding undoing an edit. As can be seen on my first edit of the PW1000G engine page, I've accidentally undone my edit then did an edit undoing that accidental removal. Is there a better way? It kinda makes the edit logs a mess. Thank you very much. --Mochanics (talk) 06:22, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

:@Mochanics: If you accidentally undo your edit, you can undo that undo, but you should preview your edit before publishing it to avoid that situation. Leonidlednev (T, C, L) 00:09, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
