Question from BetterThanBreadsticks (17:30, 19 May 2025)

[edit]

Hi, thanks for helping us newcomers. I had a question about reliable sources; should I use google to find it, or is there a specific website where I can find sources? Thanks! --BetterThanBreadsticks (talk) 17:30, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @BetterThanBreadsticks: sorry for the late reply, and welcome to wikipedia. When it comes to finding reliable sources for Wikipedia articles, using Google can be a common starting point. but it's important to evaluate the sources you find to ensure they meet Wikipedia's standards for reliability. For example, see:

  1. Help:Find sources This page offers guidance on locating reliable sources, including tips on using search engines effectively.
  2. Wikipedia:Reliable sources: This guideline explains what constitutes a reliable source on Wikipedia.
  3. Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources:This list discusses sources that are frequently debated within the Wikipedia community regarding their reliability.

Remember, the goal is to support Wikipedia content with verifiable, high-quality sources to ensure the information is accurate and trustworthy. Happy editing! —— 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 12:02, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Morganmillipede (05:05, 29 May 2025)

[edit]

am i allowed to make articles about myself --Morganmillipede (talk) 05:05, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Morganmillipede, welcome to wikipedia, In general, you are discouraged from creating a Wikipedia article about yourself. This is due to Wikipedia's conflict of interest and notability guidelines.

🛑 Why You Shouldn't Create an Article About Yourself

[edit]
  1. Conflict of Interest (COI): Editing about yourself violates Wikipedia’s principle of neutrality. Even if you're trying to be objective, it's hard to avoid bias when writing about your own life or achievements.
  2. Notability Requirements: Wikipedia only includes articles on people who meet notability guidelines, which means there must be significant coverage in reliable, independent sources (e.g. news articles, books, academic journals). Personal websites, blogs, or social media don't count.
  3. High Deletion Risk: Self-created articles are often deleted if they appear promotional, lack independent sources, or fail to meet notability standards.

✅ What You Can Do Instead

[edit]
  • If you believe you meet Wikipedia’s notability criteria, you can:
  • Wait for an uninvolved editor to write about you based on reliable sources.
  • Use the Articles for Creation (AfC) process and disclose your connection transparently. Still, it may be rejected unless notability is clearly established.
[edit]

let me know if you have any other questions, Happy editing! —— 🌸 Sakura emad 💖 (talk) 05:16, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Online events:

Announcements:

  • Who are the most overlooked and interesting Women in Red? We've no idea,
    but we're putting together our list of the 100 most interesting ex-Women in Red.
    We are creating the list to celebrate 10 years of Women in Red and we hope to present it at Wikimania.
    We are ignoring the obvious, so do you have a name or subject we should consider?
    Can you suggest a DYK style hook?
    If you are shy about editing that page, you are welcome to add ideas and comments on the talk page.
  • The World Destubathon, 16 June - 13 July, 2025

Progress ("moving the needle"):

  • Statistics available via Humaniki tool. Thank you if you contributed one or more of the 1,492 articles during this period!

    Before translating an article from one language Wikipedia into English Wikipedia, research
    the subject and verify that the translated article will meet English Wikipedia's policy requirements.
