Question from YaYaYaRaiser (17:16, 15 February 2025)
How do I edit! --YaYaYaRaiser (talk) 17:16, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! You can edit most pages just by clicking "edit". Some pages may be protected, and you may not be able to edit them until you reach a certain number of edits/account age. Hope that helps! Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 22:35, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
Question from MS PIKIPIKI POINT (12:59, 16 February 2025)
Hello how can i create my business in wikipedia? --MS PIKIPIKI POINT (talk) 12:59, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hello, and welcome! It is generally not recommended to write about your own business, since it may present a conflict of interest and there may be notability concerns. Let me know if you have any more questions! GoldRomean (talk) 22:37, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
Question from Uggupuggu on Help:User contributions (07:05, 22 February 2025)
Where do I find articles that are in most need of editing? I can't seem to find that section. --Uggupuggu (talk) 07:05, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, and welcome! I don't believe that there is a specific "list" of articles most needing editing. However, some places to find articles to improve could be start or stub-class articles, articles which need copyediting, and newer articles! Hope that helps. Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 22:45, 22 February 2025 (UTC)
Question from TonyZ1 (06:51, 24 February 2025)
Hello, please help me understand why my Wikipedia page was deleted? How to I undelete? --TonyZ1 (talk) 06:51, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) It looks like you haven't created any pages, let alone made any other edits. Pages on Wikipedia can be deleted for any number of reasons, mostly because they might not meet the notability guidelines for inclusion on Wikipedia. Pages can only be deleted (and restored) by administrators, which neither you, me, or the owner of this talk page are. Hope this helps! Aydoh8[contribs] 06:55, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
Question from Halleath (13:58, 26 February 2025)
I would like to make a new article about a musician, composer, producer. How do I start? --Halleath (talk) 13:58, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hi! Check out this page about your first article and don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions! GoldRomean (talk) 14:18, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
Question from Cliffordthecat586748y (21:45, 26 February 2025)
Hello how can you create your own page about something? --Cliffordthecat586748y (talk) 21:45, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hi! I highly recommend gaining some experience on Wikipedia before trying to create your own page, but you can check this out. Make sure that your topic is notable and covered by lots of reliable sources: and try to avoid conflicts of interest. Welcome to Wikipedia! Feel free to let me know if you hvae questions. Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 23:16, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
Question from Accurate NYC (21:54, 26 February 2025)
What to do with a citation that the link doesn't work anymore and and the information requires another link? --Accurate NYC (talk) 21:54, 26 February 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! While I'm not specifically sure what you mean, perhaps you mean that the link is broken? In that case, you could try to find an archived version of it or find another source to cite! In the future, Internet Archive Bot is helpful for preventing link rot.
- Feel free to contact me with any other questions! Disclaimer though, I'm not a super expert in citation stuff so you might want to consider the friendly people at the Teahouse.
- PS: You might want to consider joining WikiProject NYC, a group of editors interested in improving coverage of NYC! For a larger/more active WikiProject, you might want to also check out WikiProject United States.

Question from Simononwiki1 (21:47, 1 March 2025)
Hi, I want to edit a new page on Adam Linder. He is a famous choregraph that already has various article on national newspapers. I wanted to upload a picture of him through wikimedia commons, and I was spamed by the antiparasite bot. But me and his team had sent a mail to wikimedia to release the right to use the file. Is everything else that I can do ? Thanks for your help Simon --Simononwiki1 (talk) 21:47, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, I don't think there is much but to await WikiMedia's response. In the meantime, you can continue working on your article and feel free to let me know with further questions. Or, possibly, get Linder/his team to release the photograph into the public domain. (By the way, you were not "spammed" by the bot, haha.)
- Out of curiosity, why are you working on your page in the French Wikipedia? Since it is written in English, perhaps this Wiki would be better.
- Also - friendly reminder about Wikipedia's paid articles and conflict of interest regulations, which require that you declare conflicts of interest and/or being paid to write an article if that is the case.
- Cheers, and welcome! GoldRomean (talk) 01:37, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hi GoldRomean,
- Yes I'm paid and declared it on the talk of the concerned article. Do you think I should add something ? Could you please check the Adam Linder Wikipedia's page to verify if I'm checking all requirements. I think I am but I would like to be sure.
- Thanks a lot for your help. Simononwiki1 (talk) 13:37, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- @Simononwiki1 (talk page watcher) Do you think I should add something ? is disingenuous. You have been told what to do above. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 13:50, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- In addition to have written it on the talk page, that I thought was enough, I added as well on my user page. I'm trying my best to make the wikipedia's page complying the rules. I don't need any judgments. Simononwiki1 (talk) 14:15, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks for your disclosure. There are a lot of promotional phrases with your draft, like "innovative work", "prestigious institutions", etc. Remember that you are writing a factual article first, not a promotional piece to advertise Linder's work. Currently, the article seems like something that you would see more on his website, not Wikiepdia. Thanks! GoldRomean (talk) 15:07, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
- okok I see better now. I will try to rephrase it and to replace with neutral adjectives.
- Thanks for your help.

Question from Gabrielli Dutra (13:53, 3 March 2025)
Subject: Request for Review and Publication of Draft Article
Hello, Mentor,
I hope you're doing well!
I have created a draft article on Wikipedia about Victor Sell and would like to request your review to ensure it meets the platform's relevance and verifiability criteria. I have followed the guidelines and used reliable sources, but I would appreciate your feedback to make sure everything is in order before publication.
If any improvements are needed, I would be grateful for your guidance on refining the content. The draft can be accessed at this link: [Insert draft link].
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!
Best regards --Gabrielli Dutra (talk) 13:53, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! If you're talking about this article, then it appears to be written in Spanish. I suggest heading to the Spanish Wikipedia in that case. Let me know if you have any other questions/requests! GoldRomean (talk) 17:03, 3 March 2025 (UTC)
Question from Robert Land Academy Survivor (00:23, 6 March 2025)
Hello, I was wondering about citing articles I've found on newspapers.com that are old. Am I able to cite the URL if I post the article on an image hosting site?
I'm new to this and very confused. I was a student at Robert Land Military Academy. Robert Land Academy is currently being sued by over 70 former students for physical and sexual abuse. Most of the information on Wikipedia was posted by the school and is very inaccurate. I have articles to prove this. What do I do? --Robert Land Academy Survivor (talk) 00:23, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! It would be helpful for you to provide the original newspaper in question, although this page may answer some of your questions.
- Additionally, I would like to remind you to keep in mind Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy, which I strongly reccomend you disclose (although your username does obviously do that).
- Cheers! GoldRomean (talk) 23:25, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
Question from Revievemarketing (21:29, 6 March 2025)
Hello. Pleasure meeting you. I would love to create a page for the company that has been in business for a while. Would you have any recommendations on how to go about it? And how to avoid long delays in approval process --Revievemarketing (talk) 21:29, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! First - I recommend that you change your username, as WP's username policy states that your username can not be that of an organization. Check out your first article, and keep in mind Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy and that your topic has to be prevalent with many reliable sources about it.
- Unfortunately, Articles for Creation is extremely backlogged right now, so your submission may take a while. I recommend making sure that your article is well-sourced and notable before submitting - tagging it with WikiProject tags may be helpful as well to speed up review!
- Let me know if you have any further questions. Cheers! GoldRomean (talk) 23:29, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
Question from Mohau mokgomo on Wikipedia:User pages (14:05, 8 March 2025)
Hello can i ask you something How can I make friends --Mohau mokgomo (talk) 14:05, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hello! Wikipedia is a place to work together to improve articles, not a social network. You shouldn't be on WP to "make friends" although you can collaborate with other editors! Hope that helps. GoldRomean (talk) 00:23, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
Question from Mohau mokgomo on Wikipedia:User pages (14:08, 8 March 2025)
Can i watch xxx videos in wikipedia.org --Mohau mokgomo (talk) 14:08, 8 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hi! Welcome to Wikiepdia! I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what you mean. Could you please clarify? GoldRomean (talk) 00:22, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
Question from Mohau mokgomo (20:55, 8 March 2025)

Question from High Performance Business LLc (16:20, 9 March 2025)
How do I add the address and creation story and what the company does to High Performance Business? --High Performance Business LLc (talk) 16:20, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm not sure what you mean, but keep in mind that your username is not allowed to be that of a business, and it is highly not recommended to make a page advertising yourself. Thanks! If you could clarify a bit and address those issues, I would be happy to help if you have further questions. GoldRomean (talk) 03:05, 10 March 2025 (UTC)
Question from JBG551 (10:25, 11 March 2025)
Hello how can i make sure i take citation but keep language in correct tone, I always have quoted text in a citation. Im realising that this is not correct. Regards Jasbir --JBG551 (talk) 10:25, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but you can't say things like "has been inexplicable", because that is your own opinion. Additionally, did you include copyrighted content in an article without proper quotes/citations? That is a violation of copyright rules. I'd be happy to help you further if you could provide some more information. Thanks! GoldRomean (talk) 15:07, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
Question from Abu Haider Al Iskander Bin Sayyid Sulaiman (14:07, 15 March 2025)
Hello. How do i create a new wiki page. How do i add img --Abu Haider Al Iskander Bin Sayyid Sulaiman (talk) 14:07, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, I strongly recommend gaining more experience on Wikipedia before making new pages. I'm not sure if you mean add images to an article, or upload. To add images, if you click the "plus" sign in the visual editor, you will be able to add an image. To upload, WikMedia Commons has a nice tutorial here, but make sure you pictures are copyright-free (among other rules). Hope that helps! GoldRomean (talk) 22:57, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
Question from ArcheryMama (23:54, 16 March 2025)
@GoldRomean Should I use the sandbox for all my editing or just go into an article and edit that way--ArcheryMama (talk) 23:54, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Usually, the sandbox is for testing, and if you have a real edit you want to make, you can just edit directly. Of course, make sure your edits are constructive, but we can always revert any edits in which you make harmless mistakes :). Hope that helps, and don't hesitate to contact me with other questions! GoldRomean (talk) 22:54, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
Question from Netrel (19:07, 17 March 2025)
Hi, I am going to add some important information with references as an introduction to the article "Huperzine A". As the new information/revision will appear at the beginning of the article. I would appreciate it if you could help me to add the related new references to the beginning of the current reference list. --Netrel (talk) 19:07, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, I believe that the references should automatically order themselves. Let me know if that's not the case and I'd be happy to help! GoldRomean (talk) 22:55, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- So kind of you, GoldRomean Netrel (talk) 01:16, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
Question from Netrel (02:18, 20 March 2025)
Dear GoldRomeam, I have already revised the article "Huperzine A" to provide its important research history as an introduction of the article, and provided some necessary references (in a right format) in support of the new information as well. I still don't know how to insert these references [No.1-5] to the beginning of the current list. The current listing order of the references will therefore need to be adjusted. I would highly appreciate it if you could take a look at my revision and help me. --Netrel (talk) 02:18, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, I apologize if I was not clear before. If you are on the visual editor, there should be a "cite" button. Try using that :D. If that doesn't work, let me know again. GoldRomean (talk) 15:49, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- Also, please take a look at how to properly do citations on Wikipedia :). GoldRomean (talk) 15:57, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- And remember not to talk on articles, haha. Cheers. GoldRomean (talk) 16:03, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- Also, please take a look at how to properly do citations on Wikipedia :). GoldRomean (talk) 15:57, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
Question from Netrel (16:02, 25 March 2025)
Hi GoldRomeam, I have finally figured out how to insert the citation of the references used in my revision, and completed my revision. Please advise me what else I need to do regarding my revision. Thanks. --Netrel (talk) 16:02, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
- I don't know what's going on here Netrel, but you are edit warring into the article medical claims inappropriately cited to fourhourworkweek.com, using the 'minor edit' flag. Please stop, or it is likely you will end up blocked from editing. Bon courage (talk) 05:28, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hey, I can't really help you with specific advice on that specific article (especially since it's about medicine); there are much more qualified editors (like Bon courage) who can help you out. And please do listen when other editors warn you about things like minor edits/edit wars. If you have any more general questions I'd be happy to help out. Cheers!

Question from Kshancady (23:04, 26 March 2025)
Hi GoldRomean,
This is my first time editing. I knew the playwright Peter Shaffer very well and wish to add something to his wikipedia page. How do I do that? --Kshancady (talk) 23:04, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, I recommend that you disclose your conflict of interest and strongly refrain from editing his page. However, if you must, make sure to use reliable sources and use a neutral point-of-view. Welcome to Wikipedia! Let me know if you have further questions. GoldRomean (talk) 01:57, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

Question from HelloHelicopter31 (09:52, 30 March 2025)
Is there any good articles to do easy edits for related to Lithuania? Im a beginner and this topic was interesting --HelloHelicopter31 (talk) 09:52, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, I'm not sure what you mean by "easy" but you could see Wikipedia:WikiProject Lithuania#Articles that need attention and take a look at maybe some copyediting. And while you're there, you could join WikiProject Lithuania as well, they would be happy to guide you. Cheers. GoldRomean (talk) 14:45, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
Question from HelloHelicopter31 (10:33, 30 March 2025)
I was trying to edit a page about Carsten Klouman which Wikipedia suggested I edit but it wont let me save changes. It says the following: Your changes have not been published. In response to an ongoing pattern of abuse, an automated filter has prevented this edit.
Don't worry, your work has not been lost! The full content of this edit has been saved, but it will not be visible to readers unless you take further action.
Please go to the report page and follow the instructions. An experienced editor will review your changes, and provide assistance.
I reported the error (process was very confusing) and then my report got deleted??? Not sure whats going on, just want to publish the changes I made. --HelloHelicopter31 (talk) 10:33, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, and welcome, may I know what specific changes you made? It looks like a filter picked up your edits and thought them to be unconstructive. I can't really help without further information, but maybe you could ask Ohnoitsjamie. Make sure sources you use are reliable. Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 14:41, 30 March 2025 (UTC)
Question from Zentrader007 (19:57, 1 April 2025)

PROD on Thapaswini Poonacha
Hi GoldRomean. I see that you've placed a PROD tag on Thapaswini Poonacha. However, that article was soft deleted after this short debate two and a half years ago. So the recreation of the article is technically ok and it's definitely not eligible for a PROD. However, you can start a new AfD. For now, I've just removed your PROD. Best, Pichpich (talk) 20:08, 2 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Pichpich Understood, thank you for letting me know! Is there a easy way to check next time other than going into the article history since I don't think there was a notice on the talk page? GoldRomean (talk) 14:52, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- It's a common mistake to not check for this but it can be done! If you check the history of an article (or any other page for that matter), you can click on "View logs for this page" (top left) where you will find a log entry for deletion and a link to the corresponding AfD. Furthermore, when you put up a PROD tag, the template itself checks whether a past AfD exists for that title and links to it (which is how I found out there was a problem with your PROD). Best, Pichpich (talk) 17:48, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Question from Guxhuli (14:47, 3 April 2025)
Hi! Am I allowed to upload a photo of a public figure on Wikipedia CC, that he (or otherwise the institution he leads) posted it publicly on facebook? Under what license does that fall? --Guxhuli (talk) 14:47, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Welcome! No, just because someone posts a photo online doesn't mean that they give up copyright of it. They have to explicitly release it in public domain. GoldRomean (talk) 14:56, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks. :)
- "They have to explicitly release it in public domain." -> How would this technically work? How would Wikipedia verify this? Guxhuli (talk) 15:03, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- I'm not super experienced in copyright but for example here the uploader is the author, so they can release it to public domain. And here there's a notice explaining how goverment works are also public domain. Hope that helps + let me know if you have any other questions! GoldRomean (talk) 15:26, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
Question from Diahen (00:35, 4 April 2025)
I want to look up companies to get their contact info, especially their email, probably won't be editing. Where do I go in Wikipedia to do that? --Diahen (talk) 00:35, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Diahen, if you're looking for companies' contact info, I reccomend going on their websites instead of using Wikipedia. It is unlikely, but if a company email/website is included on its Wikipedia page, it would be in the "External links" section or mabye the infobox (the box at the right with quick infromation). Let me konw if you have any Wikipedia-editing related questions. Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 01:41, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from Solrivy (05:51, 6 April 2025)
Hi, I'm interested in translating articles, and I was wondering about the sources, do I have to find new ones in the target language? or do I have to translate the original sources? or is it just fine to cite it as-is in the translation? --Solrivy (talk) 05:51, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- Welcome! Generally, include the original sources, but you do not really need to "translate" them. If you can find new ones, of course that would be preferred. This page may help. Let me know if you have any other questions! GoldRomean (talk) 14:58, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

- the messages say "Harv and Sfn multiple-target errors" as well as "Harv and Sfn no-target errors" and "Pages using duplicate arguments in template calls" ArcheryMama (talk) 19:54, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- I believe it is referring to the fact tht it is linking to both a and b. Although I am not an expert in citation templates so perhaps people at the teahouse could better help you. Cheers! GoldRomean (talk) 22:34, 7 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi, why does my article which I previously moved to the main page appear as a draft? --Monica Joyce (talk) 07:00, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, when you are moving an article to the mainspace, the mainspace would just be Flavia Kyomukama, not User:Flavia Kyomukama, which would be a user page. Hope that helps! GoldRomean (talk) 11:32, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
Question from Tony McClark (11:39, 9 April 2025)
Hello, I just logged into Wikipedia and I wanted to start editing but I am kind of scared of changing the language and wording of certain articles as it may get me banned if I do something wrong that I don't know.
I want to edit stuff still and add citations but I don't have experience to find info from a trusted source and I am bad at fact checking. Can you suggest me ways to get better at this?
Thanks -Tony --Tony McClark (talk) 11:39, 9 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hey Tony! Don't worry about it. Usually, people will know that you have good intent and just let you know of your mistakes. And you will usually be warned first before a block - and an absolute ban is super rare, you can usually appeal blocks. I reccomend reading WP:RS and taking a look at the references of other articles - but practice will help you gain experience! Welcome to Wikipedia! GoldRomean (talk) 13:05, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from AldoParrottaContributor (13:40, 10 April 2025)
Good morning GoldRomean,
I was recently unblocked and renamed as per Wikipedia’s conflict of interest and username guidelines. I’m the founder and director of a non-profit organization called the Art Gallery of Welland, based in Welland, Ontario, Canada.
I’d like to request the creation of a new article for the gallery, based on third-party media coverage from reliable sources such as Country 89, GiantFM, Ground News, and the City of Welland. I now understand that because of my affiliation, I can’t create the article myself directly and need to use the edit request process.
Would you be open to reviewing the draft I’ve prepared or guiding me on how to properly submit a request for this article? I want to make sure I follow every guideline correctly and avoid any issues going forward.
Thanks so much for your time and support — I really appreciate it. Aldo AldoParrottaContributor --AldoParrottaContributor (talk) 13:40, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- To submit an edit request, see here. You would use the talk page to propsoe a specific change instead of making it yourself. I would be okay with taking a look at the article; however, are you able to link to your draft, since I can't see it? Cheers! GoldRomean (talk) 14:37, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
Question from Cultcritix (14:18, 10 April 2025)
Hi GoldRomean, just reaching out to say hi! And that I put up my first article. It's for a place that friends talked about, seemed really cool back in the day in NYC. (I have no connection.) If you have any comments on how to improve it, please let me know. Thanks! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Stingy_Lulu%27s --Cultcritix (talk) 14:18, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- Looks great for a first draft! I reccomend finding more sources to try to expand the article and show more notability, and also adding an infobox or picture (you can request one here). Also, be warned that AfC does take a while; they are superrrr backlogged. Continue working in the meantime to increase chances of passing :). Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 14:35, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hi thanks for this GoldRomean! (Just saw your reply here, still getting my head around how the messaging works.) Right on, I found and added a few more sources and resubmitted the draft. I'll look into adding an infobox now! Cultcritix (talk) 16:57, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from MummyMasala (11:15, 15 April 2025)
Hi there, I'd like to start my own page for my professional profile in my name Mallika Basu. How do I do this? Thanks --MummyMasala (talk) 11:15, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
- @MummyMasala: You don't. Wikipedia is not a social media site, nor is it a means to promote yourself. What you're looking for is LinkedIn, not Wikipedia. We're an encyclopedia, not a professional directory. --Hammersoft (talk) 11:19, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from Ceawlin of Wessex (01:42, 16 April 2025)
what happens if I accidentally get information wrong? --Ceawlin of Wessex (talk) 01:42, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
- That's okay! You can always change your edits or another editor could revert the incorrect information. Be bold! GoldRomean (talk) 13:54, 16 April 2025 (UTC)
Question from AmigaAmigo (08:22, 18 April 2025)
Hello GoldRomean..
I'm sending you a note as Wikipedia tells me that you are my mentor.
I've signed up to create an article about an Australian WW2 Air Force Pilot - Ian Innes. He was awarded the Military Medal and the French Legion d'Honnore for participating in an SAS behind the lines operation after D-Day, after being shot down.
He also had an impressive business career in Australia, developing some Insurance IT technologies that were purchased by Ross Perot's company.
I want to edit this page..
To reflect his award.
Then create a page for him detailing his upbringing in Papua New Guinea, his military service, and a short bit about his after service career.
Does this sound alright to you?
Thanks for your time. --AmigaAmigo (talk) 08:22, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, and welcome! What your suggesting sounds fine. Just make sure that you have many reliable sources that showcase Ian Innes' notability and that everything is sourced. Additionally, make sure you don't have a conflict of interest with Innes. For more information, see Your first article. Let me know if you have any specific questions! Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 19:55, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

Hello 👋 I want to publish an article on Wikipedia. Can you guide me? --Daramola234 (talk) 10:58, 19 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. Before writing an article, I highly reccomend that you spend more time editing to learn about it's policies and read Your first article. If you still wish to proceed, I'd be happy to answer any other questions that you may have. Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 16:22, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from Dorothystassone (22:09, 22 April 2025)
Hello, and thank you for being there. I am seeking information about Danuta Mostwin. Information that I have indicates that she was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature three times, in 2000, 2006, and 2008. (https://www.baltimoresun.com/2010/01/15/danuta-mostwin/; https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danuta_Mostwin; https://polamjournal.com/Polish_American_Journal_February_2010.pdf; [don't remember source for 2008]) However, her name does not appear in two articles where I had checked to verify this information. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nominees_for_the_Nobel_Prize_in_Literature; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_female_nominees_for_the_Nobel_Prize). I would like for the authors of these two articles to update them with information about Dr. Mostwin. Thank you for your help. --Dorothystassone (talk) 22:09, 22 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! The great thing about Wikipedia is that anyone can edit any article - so be bold and do it yourself, if you wish! Just make sure to cite everything (and note that Wikipedia can not be used as a source). And try to find a source for 2008. Let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers! GoldRomean (talk) 23:31, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from BestNightEver (16:04, 24 April 2025)
How do I update latest information on pages? --BestNightEver (talk) 16:04, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
- Hi @BestNightEver - first, do you have any relation to the Transcendance Theatre Commpany? I also advise that you read minor edits and stop using the minor edit tag. And to answer your question, I assume you mean on Transcendence Theatre Company. If so, as said on your talk page, your edits were reverted because they were promotional and unsupported by reliable sources. Let me know if you have any more questions. Cheers.
