Question from Ekhoury mich (20:44, 3 January 2024)

Can you explain why they denied my recent edit of Jeff Monson's page? --Ekhoury mich (talk) 20:44, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

@Ekhoury mich: Hi, looks like a Cluebot NG false positive to me. Cluebot NG is an automated program that reverts edits which get flagged as vandalism from users, but what you added was not vandalism. Most of the time, it is accurate, but sometimes it makes false positive reverts. Prodraxis (talk) 20:48, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

A goat for you!

Thanks for your contributions. Please enjoy with this goat because I like it! It's my goat.

DYK for Haewoojae

On 9 January 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Haewoojae, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that sculptures of defecating people are displayed in the park surrounding Haewoojae? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Haewoojae. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Haewoojae), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Question from Danrobb211 (06:58, 12 January 2024)

Hi Prodraxis. Great to know I have a mentor and its nice to e-meet you. I have found it fairly easy to edit so far. Everything from tanks, to student volunteers to books. I will definitely reach out when I have questions. Thanks again. --Danrobb211 (talk) 06:58, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

@Danrobb211: No problem! Feel free to ask me any questions about editing anytime. Best, Prodraxis (talk) 12:00, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Copyright AISINGSEECHAN1 (talk) 11:12, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

@AISINGSEECHAN1: Can you please specify what you are asking me about? Are you asking me about the copyright policy of Wikipedia? If so, the page can be found here. I'm admittedly not the best person to ask about copyright policy as I don't know very much about it - perhaps other editors like Diannaa or Red-tailed hawk can answer your questions regarding it.

Question from BenElchonen (21:51, 15 January 2024)

Hi, I want to add a article about vitaltransformation.org, do you recommend writing it with chatgpt? --BenElchonen (talk) 21:51, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

@BenElchonen: Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Per our guidelines, use of ChatGPT or other LLMs are highly discouraged on Wikipedia. However, you can still write an article as long as the subject matter is notable - you can do so by using this page. Regards, Prodraxis (talk) 03:08, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from AasifShrestha (06:35, 17 January 2024)

https://www.news.de/film/857459788/film-mit-schauspieler-ab-wann-im-kino-news-zu-kinostart-cast/1/ This is reliable or not? --AasifShrestha (talk) 06:35, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

@AasifShrestha: Hello and welcome to WIkipedia! Regarding that source, I am not too sure about its reliability because I can't read German, sorry. Prodraxis (talk) 16:07, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for you response, I think you can use language translation feature.Thank you. AasifShrestha (talk) 04:57, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Novid (disambiguation)

The page Novid (disambiguation) has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it was an orphaned disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguated only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ended in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic);
  • disambiguated zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title; or
  • was a redirect with a title ending in "(disambiguation)" that did not target a disambiguation page or page that has a disambiguation-like function.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review.

HI,

No question, just checking in and nice to meet you

Divemak --Divemak (talk) 03:21, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from Notsayingmyname (07:37, 23 January 2024)

I am of to find out how to properly edit bye --Notsayingmyname (talk) 07:37, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi! If you want to learn how to edit, please take a look at Help:Editing as well as our policies and guidelines pages. However, I've noticed that some of the edits you've made have been reverted because they have introduced grammatical errors. Since you don't appear to be a native English speaker from what I can see, I can direct you to a Wikipedia in your native language if you wish to. Regards, Prodraxis (talk) 12:10, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

Username reporting

Hi, in most cases a username should only be reported to UAA if it has edited recently(last 2-3 weeks). Some exceptions would be particularly vulgar or offensive usernames- but "thiswebsitereallysucks" probably isn't so. 331dot (talk) 12:44, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
