Question from Geshuine Tilman (01:18, 22 June 2026)

How to I create my own page on iPhone 15 plus --Geshuine Tilman (talk) 01:18, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. It's unclear what you want to do. Do you want to create an article about the iPhone 15 plus? If so, we already have an article, as the plus is combined with the base version in an article at iPhone 15. If you are asking how to create an article by editing on your iPhone 15 plus, there are a few ways to do this. You can use a web browser and use Wikipedia in the mobile view. There is also an iOS app for Wikipedia. I'm not familiar it so, I am unable to provide much guidance there. My own preference in editing on mobile is to use the website, but switch to desktop view, which is the same presentation I get when using a computer. Help:Mobile access provides some more information about using Wikipedia from a mobile device. -- Whpq (talk) 01:59, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

Hello. Please i want to ask that how to use Wikipedia if im a musician Artist --Mugoes Wema Rebos (talk) 07:51, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

I'm assuming you want to write an article about yourself. Writing an autobiography is not a good idea. -- Whpq (talk) 13:30, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

File:Ayatollah Borqei.jpeg

Hi Whpq. Could you take a look at File:Ayatollah Borqei.jpeg? It's obviously licensed incorrectly, but perhaps it could be relicensed as {{non-free biog pic}}. Do you think that would be acceptable? -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:37, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

Assuming there is no free image of him,, I don;t see why not. -- Whpq (talk) 11:44, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks frt taking a look at this. I posted something about the "PD-simple" license on the uploader's user talk page and suggested non-free content could be better instead. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:50, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

BLP draft Heather Conneely

Hello WHPQ:

You deleted the draft BLP for Heather Conneely. I believe I have found new secondary sources that will make the case for a Wikipedia page for Heather Conneely. How should we proceed?

I am new to Wikipedia so not that could at attaching info. I will do so in a subsequent message to you. Please await the new info.

Sincerely, Nome Hodas NomeHodas (talk) 21:54, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

Here is the additional information:

a graduate of American Cooperative School of La Paz, Bolivia and University of Notre Dame (Indiana), Conneely is a Latina business leader who frequently advocates for increased Hispanic representation and investment in corporate America and mainstream media. She was a keynote speaker at the We All Grow Latina Summit 2016. She is a sales and advertising executive, with experience at Univision, Facebook and Meta

References

@NomeHodas: What was deleted was not a draft. It was in article space. There is no additional information. Those references were the same as the ones that were in the deleted article. I can restore this to draft space for you to work on, but if those are the best references you have, there is zero chance for it to be moved into article space. -- Whpq (talk) 01:14, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

Hello Whpq:

Please restore the fragment to draft space so that I may work on this in the future. In your view, what would it take to move the dial on this topic. I am not sure what else is out there for her, but what kind of notability are you looking for? NomeHodas (talk) 22:52, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

I've restored it to Draft:Heather Conneely. Notability is established by substantial coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. You have a Forbes article where Conneely is being quoted. That's not coverage about her. The Alumni Society is a networking and promotional group for Latinos. That's hardly indpendent or a reliable source. 92NY is also not a reliable source, nor is Youtube. -- Whpq (talk) 12:03, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback NomeHodas (talk) 19:57, 2 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from Theannadelvey (21:58, 29 June 2026)

Hi Whpq, since you’ve been assigned as my mentor, im asking for your guidance on the best way to proceed with my edit request in the article about me. Would you mind taking a look at the last discussion on the Anna Delvey talk page? Thank you! Anna --Theannadelvey (talk) 21:58, 29 June 2026 (UTC)

To be blunt, your original edit request looks exactly like the sort of request that would be generated by an LLM. Using AI to write for you is a bad idea. The edit request, regardless of whether it was written by you, or by a chatbot, is long and wordy. If you have a specific issue with the wording, you need to identify the text that needs replacing, then provide the text that you are proposing, and provide reliable sources or a proper succinct explanation of why the change is being requested. See WP:EDITREQUEST. -- Whpq (talk) 12:09, 30 June 2026 (UTC)

Question from Megaevans1957 (00:50, 1 July 2026)

Hi, I am trying to update some information - a website that is no longer active. Not sure if I did it correctly. Help please?? --Megaevans1957 (talk) 00:50, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

I assume you are referring to the article on the Northcote Koori Mural. Given your user name, it looks like you are the artists referred to in the article, and the website you are referring to is a page from your web site used in the references. Your edit was reverted because it looked like you were just trying to insert your web site to replace all of the references. What you did in trying to fix the dead reference was not done correctly. Additionally, as a reference, your web site would be a primary source. I've taken care of the issue by reusing an coexisting reference from a newspaper that provides the same verification of imformation. -- Whpq (talk) 12:22, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from RAGDot (14:00, 1 July 2026)

Hi Whpq, I am new to editing Wikipedia, so I was wondering if you could check out my first edit. Although I did not change any material, I just changed the wording and grammar. I would appreciate your feedback on it. it is Neapolitan Republic (1647–1648). --RAGDot (talk) 14:00, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi and welcome to Wikipedia. There's a lot to learn about how to edit Wikipedia, and some of it may be overwhelming. I don't want this reply to sound discouraging, but there are issues with the changes you made. But as you are asking me to review, its clear you want to learn and improve which is wonderful.

You made changes to the date format. There are a couple of problems here. The first is that one should not change an established date format in an existing article. Wikipedia is a global project with editors from around the world that use a variety of date formats. To reduce contention about the date format to use, one generally shouldn't change the date format used in an article. The second is that you are using a date format that is considered unacceptable. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers provides more information about this.

You also bolded the dates which is not needed and distracting. Bolding is used for some specific purposes on Wikipedia, and it should not have been applied to the dates. Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Text formatting provides some more information about the formatting of text in Wikipedia.

You should change these problem items back to the way they were before. -- Whpq (talk) 15:05, 1 July 2026 (UTC)

Hi, there. You blocked this editor for WP:LEGALTHREATS, and I believe revoking talk page access might be in order due to uncivil comments and another comment that, at the very least, borders on another legal threat, if not outright being one: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Peace_is_contagious&diff=next&oldid=1363369013 Amaury • 10:21, 10 July 2026 (UTC)

You're invited to the Mentorship noticeboard

Hi, Whpq. You are cordially invited to the brand new Wikipedia:Mentorship noticeboard. I get the impression sometimes that we mentors are each toiling in our own cubbyhole or hamster wheel, quietly answering mentee questions with little to no interaction with other mentors. I think we have a lot to share and learn from each other, and I know it will make me feel better just having the opportunity to interact with you and other mentors there, and I hope it will for you, too. Looking forward to hearing your feedback. Please take the § Survey when you get there! Mathglot (talk) 03:08, 11 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from Johnrock23 (22:48, 15 July 2026)

How do you create a page for an organisation that is mentioned a number of times but does not have its own page? --Johnrock23 (talk) 22:48, 15 July 2026 (UTC)

As a new editor, you would need to create the article as a draft. Help:Your first article provides some guidance on how to write an article. Before you start on something like this, it would be a good idea to edit existing articles to get more familiar with editing. If you are in any way affiliated with the organisation, you will need to adhere to Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. -- Whpq (talk) 16:23, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from Azizrot (13:10, 16 July 2026)

Hi I wrote about Celele restaurant but i can't see it 😓 --Azizrot (talk) 13:10, 16 July 2026 (UTC)

You posted the material at Draft talk:Draft which isn't really the place to start a new draft. It had been collapsed as AI-generated text which is not acceptableon Wikipedia. Regardless of whether you used AI, or wrote it yourself, the text is promotional which is also not acceptable. If you want to create a draft, you should do so at Draft:Celele. -- Whpq (talk) 16:43, 17 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from OgboloThe12 (23:29, 24 July 2026)

Hello,

What do i do to make my Wikipedia account stronger and get my articles easily approved? --OgboloThe12 (talk) 23:29, 24 July 2026 (UTC)

@OgboloThe12 Editing permissions expand with time and participation; I'd recommend reading Wikipedia's page on user access levels for more info on that. However, I would warn against "gaming the system" to obtain editing permissions quicker, as this is rather frowned upon on Wikipedia. For now, if you'd like to write articles, please see the Articles for Creation process and article writing recommendations. Thank you, and happy editing. Mit khavershaft, Royz-vi Tsibele🧅 00:13, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

In addition to the advice already given, I strongly suggest you edit existing articles before attempting to write a new article. Editing existing articles will get you used to the editing environment and Wikipedia guidelines and policies. -- Whpq (talk) 00:44, 25 July 2026 (UTC)

Question from SomeLogician on Nilpotent matrix (23:51, 30 July 2026)

Hello! I am trying to add some citations to this page, but I am not sure how to add one in the form displayed in the "Notes" section, where it is simply the author and the page number. How might I do so? --SomeLogician (talk) 23:51, 30 July 2026 (UTC)

I have been able to do it through source editing, but could be done through the visual editor? It seems that main tool is Template:Harvard citation text. SomeLogician (talk) 00:01, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

I am not that familiar with the Visual Editor. If you are using the "cite" function in the visual editor, I think it just supports the {{cite someformofsource}} series of citation templates. If you want to insert Harvard, you can the "insert" function to insert a template and add {{Harvard citation text}}. -- Whpq (talk) 12:07, 31 July 2026 (UTC)

Question for Unblocking

Can you please Unblocking me Legamerprech (talk) 16:59, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

No. You need to make an unblock request on your talk page explaining your understanding of why you are blocked and what will you do going forward so this doesn't happen again. Another admin will review your request. -- Whpq (talk) 18:02, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Why are you blocking me ? Legamerprech (talk) 18:20, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Blocking

Can you please unblocking me. It you who block me.

I create template for Summer Olympics 2028. Legamerprech (talk) 21:01, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

Yes, I am the administrator who blocked you. You repeatedly removed the templates for discussion notice on templates, and recreated templates that were previously deleted after discussion. These actions on your part were disruptive. That is why I blocked you from the template namespace. This was told to you in my block notice, and message below the notice. I will not be unblocking you. You must post an unblock request on your talk page explaining your understanding of why you were blocked, and explain how you will change your editing so the issues that led to your block will not happen again. Another administrator (not me) will review your request and make a decision on your request.

Please do not ask me here again to be unblocked. The answer won't change with repeated requests on my talk page. -- Whpq (talk) 21:23, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

How much time To be block ?

Can you said time to keep blocking. Can You please add a expiration date to be unlock. Legamerprech (talk) 22:17, 2 August 2026 (UTC)

No, I will not set an expiry time for your block. Indefinite does not mean forever. You must make the case to be unblocked as noted in previous responses to your queries. -- Whpq (talk) 23:11, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
