"As a general rule of thumb, a lead section should contain no more than four well-composed paragraphs and be carefully sourced as appropriate, although it is common for citations to appear in the body and not the lead."

Hello, how can I post a Biography about an Author who just published his book? --Arbereleziphotography (talk) 10:35, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, although creating an article right away isn't recommended, you can do so. However, looking at your user page, it seems that you're attempting to write about yourself, or someone close to you. Creating articles with a conflict of interest is heavily discouraged, even if you or the article subject is notable for inclusion in Wikipedia.

Please note: Please draft in draft space and not user pages. This is important. I've moved your page for now. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 11:12, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Jude Mayor T (23:18, 4 July 2024)

Hollow Sir. Please, what do you advise i first consider in mind before approaching an article? --Jude Mayor T (talk) 23:18, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reading stuff like WP:BLP WP:GNG WP:RS may be helpful. References to reliable sources are considered crucial by many, and inserting content without any may lead may cause sanctions. It's that important. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 23:20, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Hooplyfenz (00:05, 6 July 2024)

Hi there my bro, I see you were assigned to me. I read the tall blacks page wants to some new images, can you help me with this?

Also there is strange notice on it saying the page is "too long" it looks like another user has done some awesome mahi (work) on researching the tall blacks. It would be sad if it was deleted. I have a bit of mahi experience on the internet, is there a way to protect the page from deletion ?

chur my cuzzy --Hooplyfenz (talk) 00:05, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The page for New Zealand men's national basketball team isn't going to get deleted. The template only says that the article may be too long to navigate through comfortably, and that the article has too many headers. A part of it may be split to a different page so that the original page can have a summary of the split page. (ex. Japan -> History of Japan, Demographics of Japan, etc...) I'm sure you have the "Homepage" tab next to your user page, so why not start with tasks listed there? ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 00:41, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GA backlog drive

Hi, can you please revert your closure of Talk:Three Dikgosi Monument/GA1, and put it up for second opinion instead? You didn't wait for an experienced reviewer and your review was incomplete. -- asilvering (talk) 08:10, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was thrown off by Wikipedia talk:Good articles/GAN Backlog Drives/July 2024#Do I need to close a failed review for it to count?. Misunderstood what the thread said. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 10:43, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No worries! I've sorted out the talk page so that the review will go back into the queue for a second opinion, and I've re-opened the review for you (Sammi Brie reverted your revert, since you removed her comment when you rolled the page back to the earlier version). It's set as second opinion, so you don't need to have any further involvement in that review if you don't want to, though the 2O might tag you in to close it once they've made a decision. You're free to tackle a new one, if you like. -- asilvering (talk) 03:21, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Biggollden (16:32, 7 July 2024)

Hello AlphaBetaGamma,

I am just wondering what are generally considered good sources of information. For example, I was trying to edit an article about some kind of soft drink. One of the websites I found was a website selling the product. Would that be considered a good source of information? If not, then what kind of sources should I look for in that circumstance? --Biggollden (talk) 16:32, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sources would be useful if they have a significant coverage of articles subject and are considered reliable per WP:RSP. I'm not quite sure if a website selling drinks are a good source for the mentioned drink. Maybe try finding a different source supporting claims that you want to make?

DCWC submission declined

Hey AlphaBetaGamma! I unfortunately have to decline the GAN review which you submitted for the Developing Countries WikiContest due to concerns about its comprehensiveness in checking against the good article criteria. While you may not have been successful with this attempt, don't let that discourage you from continuing to contribute to topics about developing countries! Several experienced editors have left you excellent feedback on the review page, which I would highly recommend you check out in order to solidify your reviewing skills. Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 19:27, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
