Hi Blaze Wolf. Your account has been added to the "New page reviewers
" user group. Please check back at
the permissions page in case your user right is time-limited or probationary. This user group allows you to review new pages through the Curation system and mark them as
patrolled, tag them for maintenance issues, or nominate them for deletion. The list of articles awaiting review is located at the
New Pages Feed. New page reviewing is vital to maintaining the integrity of the encyclopedia. If you have not already done so, you must read the tutorial at
New Pages Review, the linked guides and essays, and fully understand the
deletion policy. If you need any help or want to discuss the process, you are welcome to use the
new page reviewer talk page or ask via the
NPP Discord. In addition, please remember:
The reviewer right does not change your status or how you can edit articles. If you no longer want this user right, you also may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. In cases of abuse or persistent inaccuracy of reviewing, or long-term inactivity, the right may be withdrawn at administrator discretion. If you can read any languages other than English, please add yourself to the list of new page reviewers with language proficiencies. Hey man im josh ( talk) 16:39, 29 November 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to the twenty-ninth newsletter from the Growth team! Help with translations
The Growth team will host its first community conversation Monday, 4 December (19:00 - 20:30 UTC). The topic for this meeting will be Mentorship.
This first meeting language will be English, but we plan to host conversations in other languages, and about other topics. Please visit the conversation page on-wiki for the details on how to join. You can also watch the page, or suggest ideas for upcoming conversations there.
At the beginning of November 2023, the Growth team deployed the New Impact Module to all Wikipedias. We recently released a follow up improvement to how edit data was displayed based on editor feedback. [17]
We released “ add a link” to 35 more Wikipedias. [18] [19]
We have a few Wikipedias remaining:
When a mentor marked themselves as "Away", they were not getting their name assigned to new accounts when they returned. This has been fixed. [21]
We improved the message received by newcomers when their mentor quits, to reduce confusion. [22]
We worked on ensuring that all mentees are assigned to an active mentor. This required reassigning mentees with no mentors to a new mentor. We paused this as the clean-up script confused some editors. We will resume it when the identified blockers are resolved. [23]
It is now possible to create an Abuse Filter to prevent one user from signing up as a mentor. [24]

Hello, I hope you're doing well! My name is Wael, I just published a wikipedia page for m yself, but it got rejected. I understand that Wikipedia has specific guidelines and criteria for page creation, and I am eager to improve my submission to meet these standards. In my initial submission, I included several reputable online links and articles from well-known sources such as Berytech and Arabnet, ] [36]. Additionally, I referenced my official website, www.bildits.com, where the "Founders' Story" section contains my picture and a quote establishing my role as the founder. Moreover, I cited an article from a podcast with over 17,000 views, where I served as the guest speaker [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DFWJknaeuY. I also mentioned other articles from sources where my company got featured such as Forbes on STEM day https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2019/11/05/understanding-stem-educations-scions-offshoots-and-nodes/?sh=8ec26522a73c and also referenced my LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/in/wael-saade/.

There's nothing "more plausible" or "rather", WE DON'T KNOW AT ALL. Medieval authors never left anything about that. 5.173.4.130 ( talk) 20:30, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
It's totally true. If you know of any evidence for or contra of any of these theories, show it /info/en/?search=Talk:Merlin#On_the_talk_page (there's no such evidence, not in the stories, not in the medieval commentaries nor a anyhwere). "Widely accepted" according to whom? The ref citing Jean Markale, the rival theorist, who was a highly controversial person? Half of his Wikipedia article is "Controversy" section! And no, your "less accepted" Gaston Paris was much higher regarded (3 times Nobel Prize nominee). But I didn't even change it make Paris "more plausible" thab Markale in turn, because WE DON'T KNOW.
Just revert it back and do whatever grammar fixes you want.

hello to you, user! I was looking at the adopt me page on Wikipedia and thought I could be adopted by you (if you want too)! I like editing articles on Taiwanese articles because their english articles could be a lot better and more organised (and until a few hours ago, I've been obsessively adding userboxes to my user page haha). I've edited with IPs before, but understood all the WP:(insert something) language and I hope if you adopt me (or if you choose not to), I could learn a couple of things from you too! Thank you for considering and reading my application, please ask me more questions should you want/need to! Cheers to you! Joséthewikier ( talk) 09:30, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I'm trying to edit my father's Wikipedia from a crazy ex girlfriend who keeps slandering him. I can't edit the text anymore, it says I need to upload a photo to continue? I don't know where I can upload a photo? This is the link. Thank You . https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lieutenant_Colonel_Helge_Korsnes.jpg -- Skorsnes ( talk) 23:48, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I hope you're doing well! My name is Wael, I just published a wikipedia page for m yself, but it got rejected. I understand that Wikipedia has specific guidelines and criteria for page creation, and I am eager to improve my submission to meet these standards. In my initial submission, I included several reputable online links and articles from well-known sources such as Berytech and Arabnet, ] [36]. Additionally, I referenced my official website, www.bildits.com, where the "Founders' Story" section contains my picture and a quote establishing my role as the founder. Moreover, I cited an article from a podcast with over 17,000 views, where I served as the guest speaker [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DFWJknaeuY. I also mentioned other articles from sources where my company got featured such as Forbes on STEM day https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2019/11/05/understanding-stem-educations-scions-offshoots-and-nodes/?sh=8ec26522a73c and also referenced my LinkedIn page https://www.linkedin.com/in/wael-saade/. Would love to know your feedback and I looking forward to hearing back from you, thank you! -- Wikeditor2024 ( talk) 10:22, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello. I noticed the page for Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess does not feature the Korean version in the list of regions, when KR was a seperate region with its own region lock. I want to add it, however, all "proof" for this version existing is either in the form of horrendous quality youtube videos, or web.archive old nintendo website release confirmations. Is web.archive a valid source on wikipedia? -- 혜의성 ( talk) 05:30, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello Blaze, nice to meet you!
I have no particular questions, however, with open arms I'm looking forward to your feedback on how I can improve my edits. I have done 2 edits today already.
It is nice to have a mentor around, Thanks for your efforts!

There's nothing "more plausible" or "rather", WE DON'T KNOW AT ALL. Medieval authors never left anything about that. 5.173.4.130 ( talk) 20:30, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
It's totally true. If you know of any evidence for or contra of any of these theories, show it /info/en/?search=Talk:Merlin#On_the_talk_page (there's no such evidence, not in the stories, not in the medieval commentaries nor a anyhwere). "Widely accepted" according to whom? The ref citing Jean Markale, the rival theorist, who was a highly controversial person? Half of his Wikipedia article is "Controversy" section! And no, your "less accepted" Gaston Paris was much higher regarded (3 times Nobel Prize nominee). But I didn't even change it make Paris "more plausible" thab Markale in turn, because WE DON'T KNOW.
Just revert it back and do whatever grammar fixes you want.

Hi -- Frosty45 ( talk) 19:10, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
hello to you, user! I was looking at the adopt me page on Wikipedia and thought I could be adopted by you (if you want too)! I like editing articles on Taiwanese articles because their english articles could be a lot better and more organised (and until a few hours ago, I've been obsessively adding userboxes to my user page haha). I've edited with IPs before, but understood all the WP:(insert something) language and I hope if you adopt me (or if you choose not to), I could learn a couple of things from you too! Thank you for considering and reading my application, please ask me more questions should you want/need to! Cheers to you! Joséthewikier ( talk) 09:30, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
