Question from AjishKurian (04:54, 1 July 2024)
[edit]hello, I am not able to understand how to create a wikipedia page --AjishKurian (talk) 04:54, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, AjishKurian, and welcome! Creating a Wikipedia article is pretty complicated and involves following a lot of internal policies and guidelines that newer editors aren't familiar with, so it's usually recommended that editors start with easier edits to get used to editing Wikipedia (you can check out your suggested edits on your homepage if you like). Once you're a little more familiar with Wikipedia processes and the policies (including notability) to follow for an article, check out the Articles for Creation process and it can walk you through creating and submitting one. Let me know if you have any other questions! Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 20:40, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
Question from Sirminkstudios (10:04, 1 July 2024)
[edit]Hi Please, how do I make the general public see my edit? --Sirminkstudios (talk) 10:04, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, Sirminkstudios. Wikipedia is not designed for self-promotion, but you're welcome to make other improvements to the encyclopedia if you commit to the paid contribution disclosure, change your username, and avoid editing promotionally. See the message on your talk page for more information. Let me know if you have any more questions, and happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 20:40, 2 July 2024 (UTC)

Question from Shazana Shafeer (12:05, 30 July 2024)
[edit]hello , how can I create a new page I Wikipedia . --Shazana Shafeer (talk) 12:05, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, Shazana Shafeer! I assume you're talking about your sandbox? Creating a new article from scratch is really difficult for a newcomer, but the good news is that the English Wikipedia already has an article on Education in India – feel free to expand that based on what reliable sources say! If you mean something else, or if you have any other questions at all, feel free to ask me here or on your talk page as I'll be watching it as well.

Community Configuration[edit]The Growth team released Community Configuration at all Wikipedias. You can access it at This new special page replaces You can help with translations. The interface translation is done at Translatewiki.net. You can also help translate the documentation. If you attend Wikimania 2024, please join us for the session about Community configuration's future! Current work[edit]Newcomer Homepage Community Updates module We will add a new Community Configurable module to the Newcomer Homepage that will allow communities to highlight specific events, projects, campaigns, and initiatives. We have released a simple version available to beta wikis. We will conduct an A/B test at our pilot wikis using the new Metrics Platform. We still welcome community feedback on initial designs and plans, in any language at our project talk page. Future work[edit]Increase constructive activation on mobile As part of the Growth team 2024/2025 Annual Plan, the Growth team will explore various ways to increase the percentage of newcomers who successfully start editing. Editing a Wikipedia page requires too much context and patience. It means many trial and error for newcomers to contribute, meaning a steeper learning curve and potential discouraging reverts. To support a new generation of volunteers, we will increase the number and availability of smaller, structured, and more task-specific editing workflows (E.g. Edit Check and Structured Tasks). The Growth team will primarily focus on Structured Tasks, while working closely with the Editing team to ensure our work integrates well with Edit Check. Stay informed[edit]Growth team weekly updates are available on wiki (in English) if you want to know more about our day-to-day work. If you want to receive more general updates about technical activity happening across the Wikimedia movement (including Growth work), we encourage you to subscribe to Tech News.

[edit]I have an article that can save milions with health how can I publish it. --Joelsumner100 (talk) 00:40, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, Joelsumner100! Is this about Draft:The golden meditation? Creating a new article from scratch is pretty hard for new editors, but the good news is that the English Wikipedia already has an article on Tai chi – feel free to expand that based on what reliable sources say! If you mean something else, or if you have any other questions at all, feel free to ask me here or on your talk page as I'll be watching it as well.

Question from Prabalini Prabakaran (13:18, 9 August 2024)
[edit]i need somw dowts our artical was not showing that google --Prabalini Prabakaran (talk) 13:18, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, Prabalini Prabakaran, and welcome! I don't quite understand your question – could you rephrase it? If you're trying to write an article, keep in mind that it's pretty hard for new editors to write a new article on the English Wikipedia and harder still if you're writing about yourself or someone you know. Please let me know if you have any more questions! Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 22:29, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
