Could you let me know what files need to be changed to install IllWill?Naraht (talk) 19:18, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Naraht: Sure, install it by adding the following line: mw.loader.load('//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Cobaltcigs/IllWill.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript'); // User:Cobaltcigs/IllWill.js to your common.js or your skin script file, save, and bypass your browser cache.

Rewriting of a page

[edit]

Hello Sam,

I've just uploaded a draft for submission ( Nonso Okapla) but it's been flagged as advertising.

I would much appreciate any pointers on how to rewrite it to become encyclopedic. Thanks. Tobeaninyei (talk) 10:27, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The best way would be to spend some months becoming acquainted with Wikipedia and the it's writing style. Draft:Nonso Okpala as it stands is unbearably promotional, and, not to much surprise, many sentences are copied directly from the sources. Sam Sailor 10:35, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
