Question from Catchwords on New Zealand grebe (07:11, 22 April 2022)

Hi I've added some information but I'm not sure how to insert a new reference for it. --Catchwords (talk) 07:11, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've put the reference in, but it is telling me there is a problem with the date. Not sure how to fix this. Thanks! Catchwords (talk) 07:28, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Catchwords, Hi, this is an issue with date formatting in the references. I just changed 2022-04 to April 2022 and it works fine now. But I don't know if the reference you used is reliable or not. Regards, ─ The Aafī on Mobile ^{^(talk)} 10:19, 22 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you :-) Catchwords (talk) 07:29, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Lichenicolous (22:24, 25 April 2022)

Hi there, TheAafi (and all)!

I am relatively new here, but we're trying to do something a bit different than your average term paper for a class project. This semester, we are having students research fungal species with no current (or only stub) Wikipedia pages. However, I'm just realizing that I don't currently have the credentials to help them create pages if the page doesn't already exist (and can be edited).

I've had this current account for many weeks now, but I believe I just need the edits. Do you have any guidance on this front? Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. We look forward to continuing to build the mycological content of Wikipedia :)

Cheers! --Lichenicolous (talk) 22:24, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Replying to myself, TheAafi, and all -

I think I've made some headway here (looking into AfC) but still am open to suggestions. Thanks again! Lichenicolous (talk) 23:22, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Just subscribing to this section, as I just made a new section at Lichenicolous's page. Happy Editing--IAm Chaos 06:02, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Lichenicolous, I have always admired such ideas as these help in developing the research skills and ideas in students, and since my professors at university are "adamant" for handwritten assignments because they feel the students do nothing but just copy paste; I often feel myself tired while having to write an assignment. I research for several days and make a draft on my laptop, and then begin handwriting.... Anyways, coming to the point, as you noted in your response to IAmChaos on your talk page, AfC is a nice place, and for that having a registered Wikipedia account would suffice. Once several edits are made from a certain account, one can directly publish into the mainspace. However, it is necessary that no plagiarism is done and that the subject of the topic is a notable one, and that reliable sources are provided. So in the current case, your students can just create drafts and submit them to AfC for review, and as I said, if the subject is notable and if the sources are provided, the drafts would be approved in a first-go but keep in mind that we have a huge backlog of over 3100 drafts at AfC. Please let me know if you have further questions, and I'll happily respond on time because I'm no more travelling. Regards, ─ The Aafī ^{^(talk)} 23:59, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Jutitasytui (13:44, 3 May 2022)

WHy CANT I EDIT I WANT TO FIX AN UN REAL FACT --Jutitasytui (talk) 13:44, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Jutitasytui, what edits you want to make and on what page? The edits you made so far were found to be disruptive and have been reverted. ─ The Aafī ^{^(talk)} 15:12, 3 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Resubmitting Draft for Pritika Chowdhry

Hi. I came across the draft for Pritika Chowdhry and have been editing it and incorporating your comments (which were very helpful, thanks!). I added these three reliable sources:

edited Pritika Chowdhry’s draft, and tended to your comments. I added three reliable sources: https://www.abc15.com/news/national/artist-hopes-to-spark-conversations-about-traumatic-world-events https://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/art-and-culture/artist-pritika-chowdhry-homage-women-narratives-traumatic-jallianwala-bagh-india-partition-7829600/ https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/kolkata/border-line/

I just resubmitted it. Wondering if this draft looks better/if you have additional comments?
