I have no specific interest in medicine, although I am fascinated by biology. I mostly just edit what Wikipedia recommends, which I guess is a lot of health-related stuff. I checked the WikiProject out and it seems like a very nice community. I'll definitely explore it some more when I have a bit more time. Cheers and thanks :D!

Well, that subject has been dominating some of the recommended tasks recently. It seems to vary over time. Some time there's no particular theme.

Hi GoldRomean! We're so happy you wanted to play to learn, as a friendly and fun way to get into our community and mission. I think these links might be helpful to you as you get started.
Technically, you can, but you should probably gain more experience before trying to help others. I really appreciate your enthusiasm, though!

One of the rules of the Adopt-a-user page is that "Adopters should have sufficient experience before they start adopting," so I wouldn't recommend that you do so. If you really want to help new users (even though you really are one), you can place welcome messages on new users' pages with the appropriate template like I did on your talk page. Also, please try not to edit other users' user pages.

I'm sorry. Continue to productively edit Wikipedia, and once you familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's guidelines more and get to 500 edits and 90 days, you can enroll in the mentorship program, which, as opposed to the Adopt-a-user program, is for brand new users. You can also visit the Teahouse and help out new users with any questions they may have, and consider playing the Wikipedia Adventure. Cheers,

Sorry, I'm unable to access a compute right now, so I can't provide links or anything. If you search up Wikipedia Userboxes, you should find a page that gives you information on them and gives you a list of them and info on how to create them. Just copy the squiggly bracket stuff into your user page {{like this}} (be sure to use source editor, not visual editor) and it should appear. I'll get back to you in a bit if you need clarification or anything. Cheers!

Ok, I got it. To make a userbox, you should probably use the
userbox maker. If you want to find other userboxes, go
here, where you can find different collections of userboxes sorted by topic. So, say I want a userbox about my involvement in Wikipedia. I might go to
this, find
this, and then
this. If I wanted to use the first userbox on the page, "This user is a Wikipedian", I would take the Wikitext, "{{User wikipedia}}", and copy that into my user page (using SOURCE editor, not VISUAL editor), and it would show

@
Ruth Bader Yinzburg Sorry for the late reply. Yeah, they usually aren't. Since the issue here isn't really controversial, you could use it, especially since the one you found is from the NYT, although better sources would be more preferable (although you're right, there really aren't that many regarding her). The last source used in that article, from InkWell Management Literary Agency, also mentions her role in Hearst and could also be added to that section. You can see
WP:PRSOURCE for more info. Hope that helps. On a different note, thanks for your consistently constructive edits to Wikipedia!

Dhtwiki I have a question: Say I somehow managed to copy-edit 100 articles and make it onto the leaderboard. Will this be automatically/manually changed or do I have to change the leaderboard myself?
GoldRomean (

13:34, 3 June 2024 (UTC)reply
Maintaining the leaderboard is the responsibility of the editors who deserve a place there, although the accomplishments of editors who haven't been doing so for themselves are apt to recorded anyway, especially if an overly modest editor has copy edited 100 articles. Lesser accomplishments are more likely to go unnoticed. I'm not entirely sure whether the software we usually use to calculate the barnstars would catch such omissions.

Stephen Turnbull
In re the movie 47 Ronin, as I noted, if the games he worked on are worthy of being mentioned as ever so successful, as they are, it is equally worthy to mention that the movie was seriously panned by critics, aggregation sites such as Metacritic, etc. As is noted on the page of the movie itself.

So the already existing information on the page of the game isn't a reliable source? That would sort of make all of wikipedia useless, then. Not to mention that I thought that wikipedia was supposed to not be an "advertisement", and so including that the games are successful, while inferring that it's due to Turnbull, is hardly a neutral point of view but rather a call to use him, see how wonderful his work is.

It's not good practice to self-cite and cite a Wikipedia article in a Wikipedia article. Also, we do not want to make readers chase links around to find a proper source, so you should cite the source in the page, not some random other page that mentions the same fact. I never said that you couldn't add that the movie wasn't successful; I merely said that you need to back it up with a reliable source. Since there are many in the 47 Ronin article, you can just take one of them and put it on the page, and it'll be fine. Thank you for your concerns and your efforts to keep Wikipedia NPOV :D.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "pending changes reviewer" userright, allowing you to

Special:PendingChanges, while the list of articles that have pending changes protection turned on is located at

Being granted reviewer rights neither grants you status nor changes how you can edit articles. If you do not want this user right, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.
I reported that one at AIV. Even if it might not fit the definition of vandalism to the letter, that kind of thing can be reported at AIV since the editor is clearly acting in bad faith by that point.

Or sockpuppetry more generally if they consistently target the same page(s). Some of the pages I've frequently edited have required protection (sometimes indefinite) for that reason.

here, or use the Move tool on the right toolbar (but you need 10 edits and more than 3 days first). Hope that helps. Please contact me if you have any more questions!

Hello. I am editing the Yavapai-Apache Nation page. The lede has a portion after the first two sentences that can be separated into its own "Reservation" section. A Reservation section follows the format of other Native American tribes' Wikipedia articles. I would like to create the section, but I hesitate to make changes to the lede that would move content away. The article can be developed, and I hope to contribute more to it in the future as I become more experienced. As a novice editor, am I allowed to create the Reservation section with the information on the lede? --

@
Bcbc24 Hi, and (a belated) welcome to Wikipedia! If you believe that those edits will be helpful to the article, I suggest that you just
be bold and change it yourself. If other editors disagree, they can simply just revert your edits and you can open a discussion about what would be best to do. Use caution, but since that info isn't in the article at all (as far as I can see), I feel like it's violating
WP:LEAD anyway so a change shouldn't be a problem. And you probably know this already, but of course you are "allowed" to do anything you want on Wikipedia (as long as it's constructive and not a special case like a protected page), and you are right, the article does need improvement. Hope that wasn't too long and was understandable. Feel free to ask if you have any other questions :D. Cheers,
