Thanks for working on my new page - I think it is ready for review and to have draft status removed. Please let me know if you see any other issue that needs to be fixed ProfessorKaiFlai (talk) 17:47, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck with your review, @ProfessorKaiFlai! It would have a better chance if the draft had any independent sources about the prize itself (not just prize winner announcements). Schazjmd (talk) 19:21, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - I added what sources I could but also note this from the talk page: "This draft does not require a rating on Wikipedia's content assessment scale. It is of interest to multiple WikiProjects." That suggests to me that the article should be able to make the transfer. Fingers crossed!

Draft talk:Historic Preservation Book Prize ProfessorKaiFlai (talk) 21:30, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ProfessorKaiFlai, I'm not sure what you're interpreting that language to mean. It's boilerplate, it doesn't mean anything specific about your article or its notability. Anyway, good luck! Schazjmd (talk) 21:49, 11 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - I'll abide by whatever decision is made

, as always. Thanks for the feedback! ProfessorKaiFlai (talk) 03:24, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just what is not appropriate about the links to the maps I've been adding to the Survivor Wiki pages? Curious about what your rational is. Jdavis2927 (talk) 19:55, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jdavis2927, please read WP:EL (which I also linked on your talk page). External links don't belong in wikipedia articles, except as references or in an External links section. The links that you're adding would not belong even in an External links section. A user-generated map is "unverifiable research" (#2 in the "what should not be linked" section of WP:EL).

Hello, I noticed this page needs a lot of edits as it still speaks of her in the present tense. Is this the norm? --Amenzeiyamu (talk) 05:18, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Amenzeiyamu, welcome! You are correct, an article about a person who has died should use the past tense. I see that you've already fixed the tenses in that article, good job! Schazjmd (talk) 13:06, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey I want to write a wikipedia page for someone else, how shall I start --Pvchem86 (talk) 18:16, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Pvchem86 and welcome! Your first article walks you through the process. I have to warn you though that writing an article from scratch and getting it accepted can be a challenge. On the technical side, it might be helpful if you learn how to edit by making small changes and improvements to existing articles first. On the content side, if you'd like to post your three best reliable sources for the person that you want to write about here, I'll be glad to take a look and give advice on whether it looks like that person is notable enough for an article.

Hello I would like to publish my original theory --Jonatan Levi Garcia Zendejas (talk) 09:35, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome, @Jonatan Levi Garcia Zendejas. Wikipedia is not the place to publish original theories; see What Wikipedia is not and Original research for details. I will post some useful links for editing Wikipedia on your talk page, if you're interested in editing, but if your only purpose is to publish your thoughts, I suggest starting a blog. Hope that helps! Schazjmd (talk) 13:33, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

--Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:56, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the correction on Mornington Crescent tube station: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia (diff). I wasn't aware meta links weren't allowed in the see also section; I know of the rules of MOS:NOTSEEALSO and didn't think it was violating. Could you please point me to the restrictions on linking to wikipedia space in the main namespace for my future editing reference? Thank you.

Shotgunheist ^💬 19:11, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Shotgunheist, the guidance is at MOS:DRAFTNOLINK: In articles, do not link to pages outside the article namespace, except in articles about Wikipedia itself (and even in that case with care – see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Self-references to avoid). Schazjmd (talk) 19:30, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Just making sure. When I see a spelling mistake I can just change it right? Thank you --The Art Collector (talk) 18:24, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, @The Art Collector, and welcome! Yes, please fix spelling errors. Just be aware that some articles may use British English spellings and some may use American English spellings, so please follow the guidance at WP:ENGVAR before changing one form to another. Hope that helps! Schazjmd (talk) 19:41, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh okok thank you 82.176.41.201 (talk) 19:49, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wanted to thank you for pointing out the error on the RfC page. I didn't even notice it and when I was typing my reply about my intended intent, I couldn't figure out a way to state it at all.

"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." dawned on me, so back to the drawing board I went to (hopefully) improve it.

Thanks again! Awshort (talk) 19:58, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Glad it helped, @Awshort, I was genuinely baffled until your rewrite. Schazjmd (talk) 19:59, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for reminding me this exists, I think I had seen it in passing but forgot about it. I had even begun scratching around making my own browser plugin for my preferred way of seeing the fields, but that is... just what I neeeded. Thank you! -- Very Polite Person (talk) 18:31, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

​ You're welcome, it does make a big difference! Schazjmd (talk) 18:32, 27 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure, so I am asking you.

This one: Consumer Reports Anonymous1261 (talk) 08:59, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Anonymous1261, it's generally reliable, but it really depends on the type of information that you want to use it for. Are you asking for a specific instance? Schazjmd (talk) 12:42, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This one: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/tesla/model-s/2024/road-test-report/ Anonymous1261 (talk) 14:27, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Anonymous1261 and what information do you want to base on that source? In which article? Schazjmd (talk) 14:38, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Its forward warning system part Anonymous1261 (talk) 14:45, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Anonymous1261, so you want to say that the 2024 Tesla Model S has forward collision warning as a standard feature? In what article? Schazjmd (talk) 14:55, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In this one: collision avoidance in transportation#examples Anonymous1261 (talk) 15:27, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Anonymous1261, I wouldn't. First, that article only discusses In autonomous driving, while the Tesla Model S is semi-autonomous. Second, "forward collision warnings" aren't mentioned in the article. Third, many automobiles have forward collision warnings so there's no justification for calling out the Tesla.

Also, rather than a separate examples section in the article, the reader would be better served by mentioning examples in the sections that discuss the specific collision avoidance system that the example uses, rather than separating "examples" from the descriptions.

Hope that helps. Schazjmd (talk) 15:37, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Anonymous1261 (talk) 15:42, 1 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t know why you reverted the punctuation to British format when everything else in the article follows American standards (i.e., period inside quotes). Perhaps you’re aware of some special case that I’ve never heard of. Jhofferman (talk) 05:22, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Jhofferman, Wikipedia style is to position punctuation outside of quotation marks; see MOS:INOROUT for details and for the few exceptions. Schazjmd (talk) 12:41, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thanks. Jhofferman (talk) 18:01, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

		The Helping Hand Barnstar
		About two and a half years ago, you revert an edit by an inexperienced user who had never really participated in the project. But then you took the time to patiently explain how editing and the consensus process worked. By the end of it, the user was hooked, and he kept coming back. I likely would not have gotten invested and started writing content if you hadn't taken that extra step. Thank you. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 21:44, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, @Thebiguglyalien! This really means a lot to me. Thank you for telling me this. Schazjmd (talk) 21:49, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
