What is your suggestion Elli? Should I then nominate those article for AFD as they might not meet WP:GNG. Gabriel (talk to me ) 16:48, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Gabriel601: if you think those articles don't meet GNG, then yes, you should nominate them for deletion. Elli (talk | contribs) 16:51, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you editing abu ghazaleh page? Are you a zionist? 51.211.5.214 (talk) 20:09, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I protected the page as it's part of the Israel-Palestine topic area, which, due to its contentious nature, is generally restricted to extended confirmed editors. My action there has nothing to do with my opinions on the conflict. Elli (talk | contribs) 20:15, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article 2010 Oklahoma State Question 755 you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days. Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments you might have during this period.

The article 2010 Oklahoma State Question 755 you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:2010 Oklahoma State Question 755 and Talk:2010 Oklahoma State Question 755/GA1 for issues which need to be addressed.

Hi Elli, I noticed on your talk page you don't mind doing GANs. Mind taking a look at Talk:General Motors EV1 for GA? Please don't feel obliged. Best, 750h+ 01:43, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Elli,

Is good to be hear. I want to know if i can post the history of my community on this platform.

Thank you. --Na Allah (talk) 14:04, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Na Allah: depends. Anything you post should be backed by reliable sources. A page would also need to meet our notability guidelines. And if it's a community you're closely involved in, you might have a conflict of interest to worry about. Can you clarify that you're wanting to write here?

Hi mentor! lol Today I came across a page that had information that wasn’t correct. It was on the “excess mortality” page and someone referenced an article on a study about the Covid vaccine and excess mortality. The article said there wasn’t a link between the two but whoever wrote on wiki and referenced the article said the study did say there was a link. So I edited the whole thing to say the correct thing but the sentence after it also said somewhat the same kind of stuff. That “German researchers have found a link between the Covid vaccine and excess mortality” but that didn’t have any kind of cited reference. I guess my question in all of this is, I think I saw there’s a way to hi-light certain parts of a page you might find “questionable” to go under review by other people? I don’t know how to do that first off and would that be the right thing to do for the sentence about the “German researchers” with no reference? Instead of just deleting it? If not what would be the right thing to do? I love Wikipedia, been using it for years now and been off and on doing some simple editing (still learning how to do it as you can tell) but when I see misinformation stuff like this it just drives me nuts lol. I also want to edit correctly since I really love wiki! Sorry for my super long msg :) --Missalex420 (talk) 08:48, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Missalex420: hi; thanks for reaching out. You can tag questionable claims with {{dubious}} if you don't feel comfortable with removing them -- but if something is clearly not in line with the sources cited, you should just remove it from the article.

Hi Elli, I hope you are doing well.

I'm looking to set up a page about a UK company, Six Ticks Limited (https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/08163992).

The company has recently released a major development in the Blockchain industry, which is showcased here so far: https://www.newbusiness.co.uk/articles/trainingeducation/innovative-technology-removes-transaction-fees-while-offering-robust-secu

Other sources of information that are not from the company website are: https://www.uknewsgroup.co.uk/exclusive-national-hotels-contract-for-six-ticks/ https://www.shropshirebiz.com/five-minutes-with/five-minutes-with-stephanie-henson https://www.severnbusinessnetwork.co.uk/member/profile/six-ticks-limited/ https://www.sme-news.co.uk/winners/six-ticks-ltd/

I'm not sure if these meet the notability criteria or not. Could you please provide some guidance?

Many thanks, Ian --Roundwave54 (talk) 03:33, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Roundwave54: unfortunately I don't think those sources allow that company to meet the notability guidelines. WP:CORPDEPTH is pretty strict and that isn't really established here, nor are all those sources both reliable and independent. Elli (talk | contribs) 02:38, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Elli,

Thank you for getting back to me.

I understand your points. The press release speaks about quite a significant development in blockchain, validated by Aston University. I think this needs to be on Wikipedia somewhere, so would it be better looking at something like Blockchain itself, rather than a company page?

Thanks, Ian Roundwave54 (talk) 04:08, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am a PhD in carnatic classical music (South Indian Classical Music). So I can write, edit articles related to that form of music. Stories related to Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Hinduism are of interest to me. Musician saints and sages of Bharat such as Tyagaraja, Diskshitar, Annamayya , Ramadasa etc.... are of interest to me. --Kk durga (talk) 09:27, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
