Happy editing! JarrahTree 13:55, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.

Just a quick message to thank you for taking the time and trouble to react to my recent request for a content assessment on the St Martin's, Isles of Scilly article. I am very grateful to you, both for your interest and for the positive outcome. All my very best. 86.25.222.146 (talk) 07:41, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Maldonned (11:28, 1 August 2025)

Hello. How do I complete a COI (not paid) for a page please? Thank you in advance. --Maldonned (talk) 11:28, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Maldonned, WP:COIEDIT still applies - you need to disclose your COI and use edit requests. Let me know if you need additional help! GoldRomean (talk) 14:19, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi GR. I am just having problems with putting it through properly and don't want to be in breach of T&Cs. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Maldonned (talk) 14:27, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, @Maldonned. I believe that the disclosure T&Cs only apply to paid contributions, so you're all good there. Here's I suggest (this is basically a simple summary of WP:COI and WP:DISCLOSE):
  • Add {{UserboxCOI|1=Wikipedia article name}} to your user page.
  • Add {{Connected contributor|User1=Your username|U1-declared=yes}} to the talk page of the article you want to edit.
  • Instead of directly editing articles with which you have a COI, use the Wikipedia:Edit Request Wizard to request changes (see also WP:Edit requests).
  • If you want to create pages with which you have a COI, use WP:Articles for Creation instead of directly making it yourself.
Also see Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, maybe that's a bit easier to understand? Let me know if you need help with any of these steps! Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 14:40, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think I have done it for the Football Club and would appreciate if you could check that, but having trouble on my personal user page. Maldonned (talk) 15:06, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As we speak, I think I have done it on personal page. If you could please check both for what is required I would be grateful. Cheers GR. Maldonned (talk) 15:09, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nice job, looks good now. I fixed the userbox (you only needed a wikilink, "Maldon & Tiptree F.C.", not the whole URL ("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maldon_%26_Tiptree_F.C."). Also copied the talk page disclosure to the top of the page and filled in your username. GoldRomean (talk) 15:11, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much and thank you for being such a supportive mentor to this newbie.  :) Maldonned (talk) 15:12, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Welcome to WP - hope you decide to stay! Let me know if there's anything else I can help with :). GoldRomean (talk) 16:30, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from ThomasRMcElroy on User:ThomasRMcElroy (20:19, 1 August 2025)

How do I upload photos about my Fourth great-grandfather John McElroy Fife Major for George Washington --ThomasRMcElroy (talk) 20:19, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @ThomasRMcElroy, where are you thinking of adding these pictures? To upload, does Wikipedia:Uploading images provide you with what you need? GoldRomean (talk) 20:21, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Hi It seems you are online. Remember to grade my test and answer my questions ~Rafael! (He, him) • talkguestbookprojects 21:58, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Alright sorry @Rafaelthegreat, all done (and lesson 3 posted). Sorry, it's another summary one. GoldRomean (talk) 22:04, 1 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I draftified Court of the Dead

Hello GoldRomean! I noticed that you marked Draft:The Court of the Dead as reviewed through NPP, but I've draftified it now since it does not meet WP:NBOOK. The article did have several high-quality sources in it (so I can see why it might look solid if you don't spend a lot of time with NBOOK), but none that count for that book's NBOOK. The fastest/simplest way to review book articles at NPP is to ignore anything that isn't a published review of the book, and look for two of those. There are other ways for books to meet NBOOK, but in my experience any notable 21sth century book will also meet the "two published reviews" criteria. Thanks for your work at NPP! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 05:38, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Gotcha, thanks for letting me know! GoldRomean (talk) 14:21, 2 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Daziboy on Talk:IMDb (00:19, 3 August 2025)

May I ask why the good people of earth would be afraid to no the truth or why it would cause mass panic, Also I think once America realises to reverse the violet indego blue light that is infused by white light, like the stick with the blue light on top that makes objects lighter then they'll av no alternative to admit, and why people would panic is be yond me, there nt green or skaley if u want to no there similar to us dressed in smooth white apparell, bt have a electrical thing like the snowy pic on a TV screen going across there chests an up an dwn there arms an legs that helps portray the image of behind or wat they wnt u to c, don't b afraid people there nt hostile they help leaveateing the pressures of the earth inside I could go on bt I'll stop 4 nw. --Daziboy (talk) 00:19, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @Daziboy, do you have a question about editing Wikipedia? GoldRomean (talk) 00:21, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi u gt me thinking, Wat if the old comers moto was to protect and serve, would the public belive it, fire if fired upon, would the government belive it,and would it really cause mass panic to no the truth, is it too hard to belive we're nt the only planet with life on,I hope nasa looks at planits that emit a blue light, like governments acting like adults and stop treating the public like children,

Fact is we,ll never be right or great untill we look after are elderly, then we wounder why r kids have no loyalty respect or common decent, they must look at us like frauds, there r no 1s so treat us like there's bt yet see us do c,,, 4 r no 1svand there's no point crying about it when old and gray as like are no 1s,nw hid in rooms out of the wY no say and forgotten, r children learn from us. 2A04:4A43:8CBF:F3CF:89CF:5E08:C385:F4C4 (talk) 01:21, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is this about Wikipedia? ~Rafael! (He, him) • talkguestbookprojects 21:06, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again

Hi adopter. Wanna know more about you! Feel free to not answer questions you are not comfortable with.

1. Where do you live? I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
2. When did you start editing Wikipedia? I started at May 4, 2025.
3. Do you have any list of projects you created? Mine is at User:Rafaelthegreat/projects.
4. Which do you use more often? Visual Editor or Source Editor? I sort of use a mix depending on what I do. If I create articles or cite text, I use the visual editor. If I add templates or write text including links, I mainly use the source editor.
5. What is your ethnicity? I live in Canada but I am mixed Indian and Armenian.

~Rafael! (He, him) • talkguestbookprojects 19:10, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, remember to grade my practice test! ~Rafael! (He, him) • talkguestbookprojects 21:05, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
2. My first edit on this account dates to December 2023.
3. (Your list is pretty cool!) Not really.
4. Hm... visual, usually, in mainspace, though I'm comfortable enough with source editor (for WP:AFD, etc.)
I'll decline to answer 1 and 5 for now, although I will say that Canada's a really nice place :).
(Some more info about Wikipedia-me, since my answer to #3 was pretty bad, can be found on my user page. Right now, I spend most of my time at WP:AFC, so see User:GoldRomean/AfC log, if that counts as a "project"?) GoldRomean (talk) 22:39, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Guideline and policy news

  • Following a request for comment, a new speedy deletion criterion, G15, has been enacted. It applies to pages generated by a large language model (LLM) without human review.
  • Following a request for comment, there is a new policy outlining the granting of permissions to view the IP addresses of temporary accounts. Temporary account deployment on the English Wikipedia is currently scheduled for September 2025, and editors can request access to the permission ahead of time. Admins are encouraged to keep an eye on the request page; there will likely be a flood of editors requesting the permission when they realize they can no longer see IP addresses.
