Question from Jane Mbinya (11:05, 24 June 2024)
hello what is the next step after creating an account -- Jane Mbinya ( talk) 11:05, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Jane Mbinya, the next step after creating an account, is to find any article about a topic you like, and try to edit it to make it better! Typo-fixing is a great way to get started. If you wanna add something new, please make sure it is cited by reliable sources first. Happy editing! Yoshi24517 ( Chat) (Very Busy) 18:06, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Question from Knightknight12345 (14:43, 2 July 2024)
Hi Yoshi! Hope you are well. I have a question. Can I replace the sources in a Wikipedia article. Like if one source describes a thing better than the other can I replace that source? -- Knightknight12345 ( talk) 14:43, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Knightknight12345. That is a tough question. This one, I will have to talk to another colleague of mine. Courtesy ping Cowboygilbert or GrayStorm, to see if they know. I await their response, or if somebody else is stalking my talk page, they're free to answer as well. Yoshi24517 ( Chat) (Very Busy) 23:07, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, @
Knightknight12345. What kind of source is there? It’s generally acceptable if there is a maintenance tag in place of it like
{{better source needed}},{{non-primary source needed}}, etc. If you want, you can just slap it right next to an existing source. One extra source never hurts someone if you have good faith and following the reliable sources policies! Thank you, Cowboygilbert - (talk) ♥ 23:24, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
