Hello --ERP Maven (talk) 17:01, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
Question from RushingGold (17:34, 1 January 2024)
editHi @Estar8806, I have another question. It is this that why VPN addresses have been blocked from editing. Not everybody is using a VPN from that IP address. VPN are good so why then no editing for VPN users. I'm asking you because unfortunately, I couldn't find a page talking about this. --RushingGold (talk) 17:34, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi again @RushingGold!
- VPNs tend to be problematic as vandals can hide behind a changing IP address. Because of thus, all VPNs are blocked and unfortunately registered and unproblematic users are caught in them. For more information, you can read WP:Open proxies. Hope this helps! estar8806 (talk) ★ 03:34, 2 January 2024 (UTC)

Question from RushingGold (16:46, 14 January 2024)
editHi Estar8806, as you know, I wanna contribute to Wikipedia and when you want to contribute to Wikipedia, you need to edit articles, in which you need cite form other sources to show that what the article is showing is correct. So, I wanted to cite to show that what the article is showing is correct but it was so confusing like how to put those numbers in for citing, showing date for my citing and understand these codes like I was so confused, I was like "I need to talk with you". Please, I wanna contribute but citing stuff is so hard and confusing. The help page from Wikipedia about citing was too long and complicated, I didn't read it. I made edits on Jack Grealish, Darwin Núñez and many. I gave their pronunciation without any citing by thinking that it would be understood without any citing. Unfortunately, that wasn't case and I got warning strike and doing like this more will result that I'll get blocked. So, Estar8806, please help me how to cite, because without citing stuff, my edits will be doubted about its reliability and I'll soon be blocked from editing from Wikipedia. Plus, I am sorry if this is very long and not-understandable, I sometimes talk like that for some reason. --RushingGold (talk) 16:46, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @RushingGold,
- The easiest way to cite something would be to find one of relevant the citation templates (eg. {{Cite web}} {{Cite book}}, etc) and fill in the relevant information. estar8806 (talk) ★ 16:58, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

editHello, nice of you to offer help! I am trying to create a page Draft:MAPHEUS to describe a sounding rocket program run by the German Aerospace Center. I think it merits mention, given that wikipedia has similar pages such as Rexus/Bexus or Maser (rocket). However my submission was declined. Do you have suggestions how I can improve the article. (I wanted to submit it without polishing it forever as a draft, so that others can also help contributing.) --Fabrica.de.colores (talk) 18:55, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- @Fabrica.de.colores It looks like your submission was declined due to a lack of WP:RELIABLE WP:SECONDARY sources. I would suggest finding some to support the content of the draft. estar8806 (talk) ★ 19:12, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I thought so. Would you mind having another look, since I've just edited my draft a bit? Thank you! Most sources are from German Aerospace Center, which I regard as a reliable source. I do work for them, so I've declared COI in my author page. I've also added a scientific publishing outlet as a reference now. Fabrica.de.colores (talk) 19:18, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi, We recently added a valuable and insightful link from our website to provide information for users on the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) page on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_data_interchange). Regrettably, this addition was removed by Dave Okanagan. However, we observed that other companies have links included, such as https://datatrans-inc.com/edi-856-advance-shipping-notice-asn/.

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
editHello Estar8806,
Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to Schminnte, who led with over 2,300 points.
Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.
Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.
It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!
2023 Awards
Onel5969 won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. Hey man im josh led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!
WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.
Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.
Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.
Reminders:
- You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
- Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
- To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

editWe reach consensus by using talk pages, not by doing things like this. Consensus is never achieved through edit summaries. Didn't you know that? SergeWoodzing (talk) 16:54, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- @SergeWoodzing I don't exactly know where this rather uncivil tone is coming from considering we've had generally pleasant interactions in the past, but I digress. "Never" is quite the strong word- consensus shouldn't be and (wasn't) sought through edit summaries, but sometimes over the natural course of editing it is. Nonetheless, I was under the false impression that the change from her mother's maiden name to her royal title was a recent one and not a relatively longstanding edit. Yet, I still don't see reason to break the consistency with her siblings infoboxes nor with those of most other children of royal couples. estar8806 (talk) ★ 22:10, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- This is about your behavior, not about the article. You have interpreted an uncivil tone into comments that were not intended as such. I thought, in good faith, that you didn't realize that talk on a talk page is neccessary to achieve consensus, not reverts with edit summaries, where no discussion is plausible without edit warring. Now I see that you apparently feel consensus sometimes can be achieved through such edit summaries. It never is. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 11:12, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- @SergeWoodzing Your "good faith" comment does come off very bitey. I think our disagreement is arising in that I personally don't equate "consensus" with "discussion". You can form a consensus through editing by finding a common ground without necessarily discussing it (while still avoiding warring of course). And you're absolutely right that discussions shouldn't take place in edit summaries. estar8806 (talk) ★ 22:22, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
- Sad that you feel the need to attack good-faith advice with slurry personal jibes, and twice now! And that you apparently don't even bother to read what someone takes the time to write to you before jibing. Agreement between 2 editors and consensus are not the same thing. Consensus is when more than two people are given the opportunity to chime on a talk page and consensus is reached there. That cannot be accomplished through reverts with edit summaries. Talk is initiated on a talk page before reverting or at least at the same time. That's how Wikipedia admins want us to behave. I too have had to learn the hard way. You logged in for the first time in December 2019, created you user page last year and have been very busy since then, regularly with good work. Perhaps you feel you no longer need to care about good advice from users who have been here much longer (without taking a stab at them), not just me? I repeat: sad. --SergeWoodzing (talk) 15:36, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- @SergeWoodzing I apologize if my comments were perceived as a personal jibe, my intent was only to point out that it did come off very bitey. And you're absolutely right about everything else you've said. I wasn't making the distinction between agreement between 2 editors and consensus. And I completely missed your specification of "reverts" with edit summaries. And again, I apologize if you felt I was taken a stab at your character: I was only responding to what I perceived as an intentionally sarcastic comment, which does not seem to have been your intent. estar8806 (talk) ★ 16:50, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from Ashleymdye (17:01, 10 May 2024)
editHi Estar8806, I joined Wikipedia to produce pages for graduate-level course assignments. The assignments are to edit an existing article or create a new article. My partner and I decided to create a new article and our professor insists that it should not be a draft and that it can be moved from the draft space to a published article without submitting it for review. Our article was denied after review, but it needs to be submitted ASAP. Can you assist me with this? I am having a difficult time finding an answer to this issue anywhere. --Ashleymdye (talk) 17:01, 10 May 2024 (UTC)

- Hi @NBLS man. Looks like there are a few WP:RELIABLE, WP:SECONDARY, sources listed, but more should be provided to prove notability. Also, looking at your name and the subject of the article, it would appear as though you may have a WP:CONFLICTOFINTEREST. If so, you must declare it. estar8806 (talk) ★ 01:17, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi Estar8806, I hope you're doing great!
I am new to Wikipedia as a part of the publisher's community and would like to write an article about a company. Looking into Wikipedia's publishing documentation, I saw that there are some article structure examples provided to improve the quality of articles and the overall quality of the website.
Do you have any examples of good article structure about a company? I would like to use them as inspiration.
Furthermore, If you have any tips, I would be glad to hear them!
Best. --Ewitrand (talk) 12:12, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Ewitrand. I would recommend finding a similar company to the one you intend to write about and follow a similar format. Please remember to use WP:RELIABLE WP:SECONDARY sources. I would also strongly suggest starting in the WP:DRAFTSPACE for your first article, especially if you don't have very much experience elsewhere around here. estar8806 (talk) ★ 01:20, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

I had an issue with an Article (G11 and A7)
editHello Estar8806,
I had an issue with an Article (G11 and A7) as it was tagged G11 and A7 and so was speedily deleted. I contacted the Administrator separate times on his talk page and received no response.
I have now gone through the deletion review as I believe the subject (Moruf Oseni) is notable and qualifies to have a Wiki page. I also requested that the article be put in draft space so I can fix the G11 issue and I have informed the Administrator of the deletion process.
How long does the deletion review process take? Do you have any pointers on how I can approach this? Do let me know. Michael Ugbodu (talk) 05:28, 19 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I actually created this account because Wikipedia notified me in order to make a donation. I actually have edited on this website anonymously, mostly to fix grammar mistakes and properly structure the sentences on topics that interests me. My hope is to be able to keep using Wikipedia and contribute however way I can.
Introduction aside, I have only a few questions. So it turns out, the user names I wanted (I tried multiple) were taken. Why does Wikipedia not allow repeats? And as for my last question, as I'm still new here, do you have tips and tricks on how to avoid missteps? I'm a clumsy person and I often click the edit page by accident and I'm probably not the only one.

Page moves
editHello, Estar8806,
Before moving an article, please check "What links here" to see if there are any redirects to an article. If there are, then PLEASE leave a redirect when you move an article.
If you look at User:AnomieBOT III/Broken redirects, you can see what happens, lots and lots of broken redirects. Luckily, another administrator took the time to correct all of these broken redirects so they now point to the right page. I'm not sure why many page moves don't like to leave a redirect behind when they move an article but it can really mess things up if there are redirects pointing to the article that was moved. If you do leave a redirect when you move an article, Wikipedia's bots will correct any existing redirects. Please consider doing this in the future. Liz Read! Talk! 00:36, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi Estar, recently I got into some issues on the Gandhara wiki and wanted your opinion(3rd opinion) / What should be done on my side.
The issue was the lead, and a user named Sutyarashi had reverted an updated lead I had made which had been established on the page for quite some time (I think nearly 2-3 months is when I had posted it) but yesterday he had reverted back to the old lead from 3 months ago before my update due to 'Size issues' when both leads were similar in size. I had established a talk page discussing what issues he had were and how I could improve the lead rather than reverting all of it and I had taken a point of his into consdieration when applying my 3rd revert. He had stated on the talk page that my sources were poor however Thomas Trautmann was a credible author specialising in the field so I didnt take this into consideration as in my opinion the source was already good.
But then quite a few hours after our talk discussion (which Sutyarashi didnt reply to later on) another user had reverted back again stating 'reverted back to more stable lead', this is where I wanted to speak to you about, is this a valid reason and is he allowed to do this considering I had set up a talk page (which he didnt participate in) and also didnt give points for improvement in my lead so I dont think he assumed good faith and it wasnt an improvement but rather made the lead worse. Also am I allowed to revert it again as the 3RR rule with him has only just started.but with Sutyarashi its been done. --Zenithxxx (talk) 14:44, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

Page Moves, again
editHello, Estar8806,
PLEASE leave a redirect when you move a page. Take a look at User:AnomieBOT III/Broken redirects, this is the result when you don't, we have broken redirects. Luckily, an admin took the time to repair all of these but you should have looked at "What links here" and if there are redirects to a page, then you should either manually fix all of these redirects yourself or leave a redirect when you move a page.
I see that I've already brought this issue to your attention a few wees ago (see User talk:Estar8806#Page moves) and your conduct hasn't changed.
I'm also concerned at all of the messages on your User talk page that you have never taken the time to respond to. If you can't, I'm considering removing your advanced permissions. You shouldn't have them if you fail to respond to editors that have questions about your editing decisions. I'll wait if you can assure me that you will reply to these inquiries and start doing a better job in the future. If you fail to respond to this message, I'll take that lack of response as a "No". Liz Read! Talk! 01:16, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hi @Liz. I really took to heart what you said a few weeks ago and was intentionally very careful with the moves I did today. Which page was left with broken redirects? First government of Hassan Rouhani I made sure to check that all redirects were corrected. And for Second government of Hassan Rouhani I left a redirect, or at least I intended to.
- In response to your second point, I don't see any questions regarding my editing decisions. Only mentee questions. I certainly should take a step back from mentoring. estar8806 (talk) ★ 01:23, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
