Hello, Edit.pdf, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like this place and decide to stay.



Why can't I edit some particular pages?
Some pages that have been vandalized repeatedly are semi-protected, meaning that editing by new or unregistered users is prohibited through technical measures. If you have an account that is four days old and has made at least 10 edits, then you can bypass semi-protection and edit any semi-protected page. Some pages, such as highly visible templates, are fully-protected, meaning that only administrators can edit them. If this is not the case, you may have been blocked or your IP address caught up in a range block.
Where can I experiment with editing Wikipedia?
How do I create an article?
See how to create your first article, then use the Article Wizard to create one, and add references to the article as explained below.
How do I create citations?
  1. Do a search on Google or your preferred search engine for the subject of the Wikipedia article that you want to create a citation for.
  2. Find a website that supports the claim you are trying to find a citation for.
  3. In a new tab/window, go to the citation generator, click on the 'An arbitrary website' bubble, and fill out as many fields as you can about the website you just found.
  4. Click the 'Get reference wiki text' button.
  5. Highlight, and then copy (Ctrl C or Apple C), the resulting text (it will be something like <ref> {{cite web | .... }}</ref>, copy the whole thing).
  6. In the Wikipedia article, after the claim you found a citation for, paste (Ctrl V or Apple V) the text you copied.
  7. If the article does not have a References or Notes section (or the like), add this to the bottom of the page, but above the External Links section and the categories:
==References==
{{Reflist}}
What is a WikiProject, and how do I join one?
A WikiProject is a group of editors that are interested in improving the coverage of certain topics on Wikipedia. (See this page for a complete list of WikiProjects.) If you would like to help, add your username to the list that is on the bottom of the WikiProject page.

Tina Karol Charity Foundation

[edit]

Hi, Edit.pdf! You have removed "Tina Karol Charity Foundation" to the Draft:Tina Karol Charity Foundation. You have written that "the article ... is promotional and reads like an advertisement and sources about the singer, not her charity; very promo; COI

Am I correct that instead of:

"Tina Karol transferred the fees from 26 concerts of the solo concert tour to the Foundation's account"

I should write

"The Foundation received fees from 26 concerts of the solo concert tour of Tina Karol" ?

Regarding the conflict of interest. I am in no way connected with Tina Karol or her charitable foundation. Instead, I want information about the mentioned foundation, which helps children with cancer, to be freely available to readers all over the world. -- Perohanych (talk) 11:50, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I ran into this and I’d like an explanation as well. It doesn’t read like an advertisement in my opinion. FatalFit | ✉   20:54, 17 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@FatalFit it reads like advertisement as its states every single donation made by the singer and the author uses not reliable sources like this one http://apifi.com/2015/09/fond-tiny-karol-pomog-25-ti-onkologicheskim-bolnicam/. Overall, let the new page reviewers decide whether the topic meets WP guidelines for inclusion and is there any COI. Edit.pdf (talk) 05:45, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Previous accounts?

[edit]

Hello, Edit.pdf,

On your 11th edit, you were nominating articles for deletion discussions which is an action that even many experienced editors don't undertake. Now you nominate at AFD regularly and are draftifying articles which seems like a lot of expertise for an editor with less than 200 edits. Did you previously edit Wikipedia with any other accounts? If so, you should identify them on your User page unless this is a clean-start account. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 01:21, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio and new page patrol

[edit]

Edit.pdf, I share the concerns raised above by Liz; you should be checking for copyvio if patrolling new pages. See User talk:Olkovnoy and their contribs for numerous issues you missed. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 10:43, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
