Question from VUSDUZI (22:48, 19 June 2026)

how do I create my own wiki page for my band? --VUSDUZI (talk) 22:48, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Hello! As you have a conflict of interest, you will need to use the Wikipedia:Articles for creation process if you want to create a new article about your band. The Wikipedia:Article wizard can help you get started. You will then need to submit your draft for review so that independent editors can verify that the subject meets Wikipedia's standards.

Question from Ibrahim sebit mohammed komi on Cry, the Beloved Country (1995 film) (07:13, 20 July 2026)

Hey what's the reason as why the black was mistreated --Ibrahim sebit mohammed komi (talk) 07:13, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

Hello! I don't know anything about the film that isn't in the Wikipedia article, but we have articles on the history of black people in South Africa, such as Apartheid, Racism in South Africa and Bantu peoples of South Africa. Iffy★Chat -- 09:10, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from LingoLink (14:25, 23 July 2026)

Hi Iffy,

I read wikipedia in 5 languages and saw several articles weren't well connected across them recently, so 2 questions:

a) any rules for citing non-english sources I should be aware of? b) where do I find guidelines on how to link articles across languages?

doesn't seem to be on the citing rules or among the starter tasks respectively and thought I'd ask right away. I hope you know! --LingoLink (talk) 14:25, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

Hello! While sources in English are preferred, using non-English sources is allowed on the English Wikipedia. There is guidance on how best to link articles written in different language Wikipedias together at Help:Interlanguage links. Iffy★Chat -- 15:07, 23 July 2026 (UTC)

Thanks a lot! I walked into a merging conflict right away though, and what's going on in the background is a bit disorienting - any tips where to start figuring that out? I'll stick to basics for now, but knowing what's what seems useful in the long run! LingoLink (talk) 00:20, 24 July 2026 (UTC)

Wikidata is where these links are stored, so maybe you can find what you're after at Wikidata:Help:Sitelinks, or you can find assistance elsewhere on Wikidata. My expertise does not extend to Wikidata, so I wouldn't know how to solve the issues you have encountered. Iffy★Chat -- 11:15, 24 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from YesChants (11:07, 30 July 2026)

Note: YesChants's mentor The9Man is away.

Hello Dear Mentor,

Glad to e-meet you here. Can I have a guide about what to edit and what not to edit? Can I explore some drafts that I can improve?

Secondly, please review my edits and let me know if I am doing anything wrong. Looking forward to your response.

Thank you for the help. --YesChants (talk) 11:07, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

Hello! You can edit almost any page that is on Wikipedia; you can start at Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia and look through Wikipedia's documentation to learn about the things you should (and should not) do when editing. There are loads of drafts that have been submitted for review, but could still be improved at Category:Pending AfC submissions. I don't have the time to do full reviews of edits, but I did revert Special:Diff/1366810040 as the linked article relates to a different group of people than is mentioned in the article you edited.

Question from OldCrow1971 on Rod Liddle (05:22, 7 August 2026)

Rod Liddle’s page includes quotations that are not neutral or fair. Can I delete them? --OldCrow1971 (talk) 05:22, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello! You can definitely Be bold and remove quotations that you think make the article unbalanced. If other editors challenge your edits, the next step the editing cycle is to discuss the edits on the talk page of the article in question so that you can hopefully reach a consensus. Iffy★Chat -- 08:03, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

Agreed, this should really be discussed on the Talk page, but I have added a tribute from a prominent right-wing journalist for balance, as Liddle was very popular among right wingers in Britain. Rocksymusic (talk) 10:39, 7 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello! We would need to find a freely licensed audio recording of the voice actor's voice if we wanted to improve the article in this manner. If you can find one, feel free to upload it to Wikimedia Commons so it can be added to the article. Don't copy audio from any works he has performed in, as that would be copyright infringement.

Question from Hans Schultz Actual (04:04, 10 August 2026)

Hello,

I am a writer and i am offered a wikipage regularly (for up to 4200 pounds). I refuse that, as that is obviously a scam. However, I think it is necessary for me to have an actual entry, to stop these scams, but also as it would be usefull. To avoid conflict of interest I must ask someone else to write this. How do I do that? --Hans Schultz Actual (talk) 04:04, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello! You are absolutely correct in rejecting both those scam offers and not writing a page yourself. You can go to Wikipedia:Requested articles and add your name to the long list there, where someone may consider writing an article. Iffy★Chat -- 08:59, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

Question from Skocean (03:41, 13 August 2026)

Hello! I created my account to fix up an error i noticed in a Wikipedia page, there is a source that does not match the information it is attached to.

Do I just go into the edit and remove the citation? --Skocean (talk) 03:41, 13 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello! The better option would be to fix the issue so that the information in the article is correctly sourced rather than leaving the content unsourced. You could do this by fixing the citation to one that matches the content, by rewriting the content to match what the source says, or by deleting both the content and the citation.

Question from Docmaker1 (03:43, 21 August 2026)

Hello. David L. Brown, a new Wikipedia person, writing. I will be crafting a biography of myself as a three-time Emmy Award-winning documentary filmmaker and college instructor. I'm just beginning to craft it. I have produced and directed seventeen broadcast documentaries and have taught college film classes for 30 years. I believe I received links to many bios on filmmakers, of which I'll review several. Thanks. All best, David --Docmaker1 (talk) 03:43, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello! Wikipedia strongly advises against writing autobiographies, however, if you genuinely believe you can write about yourself neutrally and can meet the notability standards for filmmakers, then you can use the Wikipedia:Article Wizard to get started. This will allow you to submit any work to the Wikipedia:Articles for creation process so that independent editors can review your work. Iffy★Chat -- 09:35, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

Giving credit to multiple sources, not WP:RS by themselves ?

Hello Iffy, Thank you for being my mentor in the absence of Illusion Flame !

I came here to value your qualities of 3^rd opinion donor. I recently edited the section regarding the gender roles themes in the movie Fantastic Mr Fox, which was reverted for original research. The source cited for the wording in the article is a student essay, and its use of the term "gay" is not really used elsewhere - However, multiple other sources (a debate on reddit, the podcast "Totally Trans", the fandom page of movie character Ash) agree to associate Ash's difference to queer-related issues, whether it be because they may be a furry, a trans girl, a trans boy, or gay. My issue is that none of these source are really WP:RS, and the Wikipedia article only gives credit to a single, non-reliable source, to qualify Ash as gay. I would rather refer to the broader term "queer" instead of the over-specificating "gay".

This discussion followed, but while thinking about an adequate edit I decided I'd rather ask a mentor - you ! What would be your third opinion on the subject ? Jaienviedunburger (talk) 23:37, 24 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello! I wouldn't use those sources to change the wording in this instance. The reddit debate and fandom pages are user-generated, and the podcast is self-published. As you said, the term "queer" is broader than "gay", so changing a cited use of one word to the other can change the meaning expressed, which may go against the meaning the more reliable source intended. Iffy★Chat -- 09:24, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

Question from Freshtastetv (07:19, 25 August 2026)

Hello.

My field of expertise overlap with experimental art, live installations for exhibitions & performances, critiques and underground subcultures.

If i was to contribute articles about up and coming notable figures or new sub genres in the world of arts that don’t have a Wikipedia page yet, what criteria’s should i keep in mind?

What sort of sites should be considered legitimate sources covering these sub cultures or art movements? Should I limit myself to official mainstream media platforms like magazines and news outlets?

Lastly if the topic touches on an aspect that could be deemed controversial or avant-garde, what common red flags should I avoid when covering them in an article?

Thank you for your help and patience. --Freshtastetv (talk) 07:19, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello! In general, notable figures should meet the guidelines at Wikipedia:Notability. The best kind of sources to show this are published books, journal articles and news sources. See Wikipedia:Reliable sources for more information on what makes a source reliable or unreliable. It is indeed wise to be more careful for controversial subjects; all topics, but especially controversial ones, should be written from a Neutral point of view. See the essay at Wikipedia:Controversial articles for further guidance. Iffy★Chat -- 09:45, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

Question from Evumies (20:10, 3 September 2026)

Hi Iffy,

I’m new here and want to make sure I’m following paid‑editing and COI rules.

I’ve added the {{paid}} template on my user page saying I’m paid by Leather Honey to work on a draft article about the company. All my other editing is unpaid for my interest and expertise in the leather care space. Could you help me with a few quick questions?

Do I also need a template or note on the Leather Honey draft’s talk page before submitting it through Articles for Creation?

Most sources I’ve found are product reviews on blogs/enthusiast sites and a few shopping/news pieces calling Leather Honey a bestselling conditioner, plus one interview with the owner. Is that normally enough for company notability, or is this likely to be considered borderline?

Should I treat retailer listings (Amazon, Walmart, etc.) only as basic confirmation that products exist and avoid using them to support claims about popularity or reception?

For claims like “non‑toxic,” “solvent‑free,” and “Safer Choice certified,” is it best practice to phrase these strictly as what the company says unless there’s an independent source confirming them?

Given my paid connection, would you recommend that I mainly suggest changes on the article’s talk page and let other editors do the actual mainspace edits if it’s accepted?

If you think Leather Honey probably isn’t notable enough yet, I’d rather know that early so I don’t push an article that’s likely to be declined or deleted.

Thanks very much for any guidance you can offer, Evumies (Evan) --Evumies (talk) 20:10, 3 September 2026 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you for declaring your conflict of interest and paid editor status.

You can use the {{Connected contributor (paid)}} template on the draft talk page to clearly disclose your status to any editor who is reviewing your work.

From what you have told me, I don't expect you to be able to show that the company is notable. Corporate notability standards are very high; the requirements are listed at Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). Reviews on blogs by enthusiasts don't count for notability, as they are likely to be considered to be self-published, while interviews don't count as they are considered to be primary sources.

Retail listings should not be used to support claims about a product or company, as these listings are written for marketing purposes. I would use wording such as "X company describes its product Y as toxin-free" where you are unable to find independent sourcing for a claim.

If you are able to get a draft accepted, then it is indeed very strongly recommended that you use the {{edit COI}} template to make edit requests on the talk page of the article in question. Iffy★Chat -- 21:07, 3 September 2026 (UTC)

Question from Erfan 0251 (13:04, 18 October 2026)

آیا سلاح هست که بخرم --Erfan 0251 (talk) 13:04, 18 October 2026 (UTC)

سلام خوبی --Erfan 0251 (talk) 13:05, 18 October 2026 (UTC)

Hello! I do not speak Persian, so I cannot help with your query. There is a Persian language Wikipedia available, or you can learn about how the English Wikipedia works at Help:Introduction. Iffy★Chat -- 13:31, 18 October 2026 (UTC)

Question from Giwa Samuel (12:12, 22 October 2026)

How can I be a member --Giwa Samuel (talk) 12:12, 22 October 2026 (UTC)

Hello! By creating an account, you have already joined Wikipedia and can edit almost any page here. If you have any questions about any part of Wikipedia, feel free to use the Mentoring feature again, or you can ask at the Wikipedia:Teahouse. Iffy★Chat -- 15:38, 22 October 2026 (UTC)

Question from Spellsstick (04:29, 23 October 2026)

hi, on the Sikh feminism page there is a section on turbaned women, i think that there should be some link to the article "Sikh women and turbans" but am unsure how to do so. Would it make sense to put a "main article: Sikh women and turbans" thing there, and if so do you have any resources on how to do so? --Spellsstick (talk) 04:29, 23 October 2026 (UTC)

Hello! You can use the {{main article}} or the {{see also}} template to make the change you suggest here. Alternatively, you can make an edit request on the talk page of the article. Iffy★Chat -- 09:08, 23 October 2026 (UTC)

Question from Authoress Majola (16:12, 23 October 2026)

Hi ,how do I edit inaccurate information ?could I also publish poems ? --Authoress Majola (talk) 16:12, 23 October 2026 (UTC)

Hello! If you find inaccurate information, you are encouraged to replace it with more accurate information and to provide sources for your edits. See Help:Editing for guidance on how to edit Wikipedia. I would advise against writing poems on Wikipedia, as they are your own creative works and not a form of encyclopedic information; see Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not for further information on what kind of content shouldn't be added to Wikipedia.

Question from Krajbanshi2 on Draft:Tom Lal Rajbanshi (02:33, 24 October 2026)

Please help to edit this biography --Krajbanshi2 (talk) 02:33, 24 October 2026 (UTC)

Hello! This draft has been deleted by an administrator as it violated deletion criteria G15 for "Unambiguously LLM-generated pages". Wikipedia does not allow unverified AI-generated content to be used in drafts, so you will need to rewrite the draft yourself. Iffy★Chat -- 10:56, 24 October 2026 (UTC)

Question from Alfræðirit (15:00, 27 October 2026)

Hello, I'd like some guidance with choosing an English variety in an article concerning a non-English speaking country. A Newcomer task popped up concerning Estonian Navy, turns out, there are two flavours of English there (namely heading "Organisation" and spelling of "harbor" in a different section). How do I know which one should I prioritise? Estonia article has a template at the top asking to use British English, would that extend to Estonian Navy? I wasn't successful in finding some pointers inside of WP:MOS besides "retain the variety", that evidently doesn't concern two varieties in a single article. Should I post in Estonian WikiProject? --Alfræðirit (talk) 15:00, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

Estonian Navy - a link for your convenience Alfræðirit (talk) 15:01, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

Hello! There is no preference between different varieties of English on Wikipedia, so feel free to use whichever version works better in the article or feels more natural to yourself. You do not have to use the same variety that related articles use. Once an article is updated to consistently use one particular variety of English, you should continue to use that variety in that article for future edits. Iffy★Chat -- 15:31, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

I see, would it be appropriate to put a notice suggesting a variety at the top once a change is made? Alfræðirit (talk) 16:08, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

Yes, you could do that if you want to. That way, future editors know which variety the article is written in without having to parse the whole article. Iffy★Chat -- 17:57, 27 October 2026 (UTC)

Question from Alfræðirit (20:13, 29 October 2026)

Hello, I have encountered a screen similar to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T393843; any idea where to find more information about it? Something along the lines of "is it a widespread issue or just me"? --Alfræðirit (talk) 20:13, 29 October 2026 (UTC)

Hello! HTTP 500 server errors are rarely an issue that regular users need to worry about, but Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) often has discussions relating to various technical issues that users have encountered on the site. If you don't see any relevant discussions there, you could open a discussion yourself to see if other users are have the same issue you are having. Iffy★Chat -- 21:07, 29 October 2026 (UTC)

Question from Planecrashinvestigator2 (01:51, 2 November 2026)

Hi Iffy, I am Oliver and I am a 9th grader who just likes Wikipedia scrolling (I kid you not, I spent a few hours going from dodgeball to the downfall of the USSR) and now that you know who I am, I wanted to make an article on WOB Cars. They are a Bring a Trailer Seller and have one article written by Business Insider. Just wanted to know if that meet wiki standards :) --Planecrashinvestigator2 (talk) 01:51, 2 November 2026 (UTC)

Hello! I am not sure that a single article is enough to meet Wikipedia's Notability standards, especially the high standards set for companies. Iffy★Chat -- 09:05, 2 November 2026 (UTC)

All right, thanks! Planecrashinvestigator2 (talk) 11:13, 2 November 2026 (UTC)

Question from Noxvoid (11:40, 6 November 2026)

Hello! I'm a new editor and I am curious on how you fix errors made by other editors and from where do you get information? Thank you! --Noxvoid (talk) 11:40, 6 November 2026 (UTC)

Hello! Fixing errors is easy, go to the page with the error on it, look for thre "Edit" button, and then you can fix the error right there. See Help:Editing for more on how to edit Wikipedia. As for finding information, there are many places to look for information around the world, from online search engines to your local library. You should always cite the sources of your information when adding or updating content on Wikipedia. Iffy★Chat -- 12:16, 6 November 2026 (UTC)

Question from CakeFunky (20:17, 6 November 2026)

Hi, Iffy! I have a question about something. So, recently, on article I am always working on, on the notable people page, all the figures I have added have been removed, I understand why though. All the people I’ve mentioned are relevant, including some pretty big things. So I’m wondering, if these people aren’t notable, am I still able to mention these on other parts of the article, just not on the “Notable people” section? Since I personally feel they are pretty important. Thank you! --CakeFunky (talk) 20:17, 6 November 2026 (UTC)

Hello! There is no requirement for a person to be notable for that person to be mentioned in the prose of an article. So long as you can provide a source that why that person is relevant to the section you are adding to, you should be fine. Iffy★Chat -- 00:25, 7 November 2026 (UTC)

Question from Glitch2014 (10:51, 7 November 2026)

Hi! How do I create a brand new article? --Glitch2014 (talk) 10:51, 7 November 2026 (UTC)

Hello! You can use the Wikipedia:Article wizard to create a new article. See Help:Your first article for guidance on how to get started and what Wikipedia's requirements for new articles are. Iffy★Chat -- 12:49, 7 November 2026 (UTC)

Question from CuteFurfural (13:15, 10 November 2026)

Hi! I found a statement on the format "person A concedes person A has opinion B" in an article about a living person. The referenced source (as well as the primary source) actually only says "person A concedes persons in group C have opinion B". Based on context, person A is not a part of group C, but one could argue otherwise. My interpretation of the policy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons is that the statement should be removed immediately for being contentious and poorly sourced. Is this correct? Also, the article in question is semi-protected, meaning I can't edit it. What, if anything, should I do instead?

Thanks! --CuteFurfural (talk) 13:15, 10 November 2026 (UTC)

Hello! I agree that this sentence should be re-written or removed based on what you have told me here; you can make an edit request to ask for anoher editor to make this change for you. Iffy★Chat -- 17:13, 10 November 2026 (UTC)

Question from Eden Gallup (12:17, 13 November 2026)

Hello. I have been asked to start a page for musician Eden Gallup (The Cure) . For some reason is URL is banned so he cannot make this himself. I just tried to load a photo of him I have from a photographer and it won't allow me to do it. Do I need to subscribe to fill in his page. I have text as well. thanks Chris --Eden Gallup (talk) 12:17, 13 November 2026 (UTC)

Hello! If you have a conflict of interest, please disclose what your conflict of interest is, follow the guidance on that page, and avoid editing related articles directly.
