Hi! I just spent quite a bit of time editing a page, and when I went to publish, it gave me an edit error. When I went to resolve it, it showed the conflict, but my work had disappeared. Is there a way to locate what I wrote? I spent a lot of time on it! --Presleyconnor (talk) 22:35, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Presleyconnor! When an edit conflict happens, the content you wrote should be present at the very bottom of the edit window. Is that the case for you? Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 22:37, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It was momentarily, and then it just sent me back to the first version of the draft I was working on. Presleyconnor (talk) 22:40, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you still have the content you wrote, you can copy-paste the relevant changes you made into the current version. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 22:41, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I don't have the content saved anywhere else, so I may just need to write again. Lessons learned. Thank you! Presleyconnor (talk) 22:44, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Good luck! In the future, you can go to Preferences, Editing, and check "Enable the Edit Recovery feature" for cases like this! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 22:49, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why do they delate my information --BROTHER KULEE (talk) 17:38, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @BROTHER KULEE! Which information are you referring to? In limited cases, you can take a look at WP:REFUND to get a copy of a deleted page emailed back to you or recreated as a draft. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 19:32, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As the person who did the deleted your userpage in the first place, the quick answer is "because Wikipedia is not meant for personal web hosting". The kind of writing you posted is more for a blog talking about yourself, not Wikipedia. Sohom (talk) 19:34, 16 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How do I publish my watchlist to wikipedia --Aisemusician (talk) 00:04, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Aisemusician, if you are talking about your Wikipedia:Watchlist, it is private. If you meant to talk about your draft article about yourself, then Wikipedia is not really the place for that. It is pretty much impossible to write about yourself neutrally, and, even if you did manage to do so, an article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing. If you are notable enough, someone else will write an article about you in due time. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 00:16, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia may no tlike my article, but it is valid. There are no references since it is a first and is unique. The article would be touchy, however companies like Burger King, or their suppliers are immune from the law particularly with the Democratic Party. --Robertbrunetto (talk) 20:14, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Robertbrunetto! Wikipedia is, usually, not the very first place to publish breaking news – we follow what reliable sources are already saying about the issue. This is especially true if it contains serious allegations, as your draft did. That is likely why it was rejected, and has nothing to do with the Democratic Party.

Hello I have a small business on instagram, I wish to open a basic wikipedia page for information relating to it. Could you help me please. --NAXARTZEE (talk) 22:16, 25 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @NAXARTZEE! Creating a Wikipedia article for your own business isn't necessarily ideal. Wikipedia isn't a directory, and is only interested in what independent, reliable sources have to say about a topic. If you really want to try creating that article, the first step is to look for such sources and create the draft, writing it exclusively from what these sources say (and not from what you happen to know about it otherwise). Then, you can submit it using Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Submitting. You should explicitly declare your conflict of interest on your draft, as it is information that reviewers will have to take into consideration.

Hey, whats up,

I tried to add links to the References chapter but I got numbers on top of the line. Can I remove them and how can I do it?

Thank you in advance. --Vladimir Chernyshov (talk) 19:14, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Vladimir Chernyshov! You need to cite the references inline so people can see which reference supports each paragraph/sentence, you can take a look at Wikipedia:Inline citation and Help:Referencing for beginners if you want! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 19:38, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also linking you to Wikipedia:Autobiography and Wikipedia:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 19:38, 28 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Francisorji, I am not sure I exactly understand your question, can you clarify better? Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 16:43, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your assist explaining things over there. I actually was being vague on purpose, I sometimes want to see if an editor is capable of reading and understanding guideline pages, instead of needing every basic thing explained to them personally. Someone who responds to warnings about editing with chatbots with more chatbot-generated text definitely falls into that group. I appreciate your assumption of good faith anyway, cheers!

Hello! Nice to meet you. I recently saw a documentary film at a film festival. How would I go about creating a page for this film? Thanks --Luv2learn87 (talk) 21:09, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Luv2learn87! The first step is to look for sources – for instance, film reviews – which will be the backbone of your page. Once you have collected enough sources, you can write a draft from the material in the sources (ideally, focusing on what is relevant enough for secondary sources to comment on), and then submit it. Good luck! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 18:30, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello I want to edit page name it's showing as hind and I want to change it as ललित बजरंगी --Haryanvi youth (talk) 07:21, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Haryanvi youth! This is not recommended – disambiguation pages are there to provide links to topics with the same name, and changing the title, especially to a non-Latin script, would be confusing for readers. Since your proposed title is completely different, it could be seen as hijacking, which is not constructive.

If you wish to contribute in your native language, there are other Wikipedia editions (such as Hindi Wikipedia) you can edit! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 07:56, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please do not log out to repeat disruptive edits. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 07:58, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering if you could check out my latest edit. I would really like to know what it needs so it can be published. Thanks --Luv2learn87 (talk) 22:39, 11 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Luv2learn87! Your draft is missing sources, which are essential if readers want to verify the information. As advice, you can take a look at WP:42, our guide on whether there are enough sources out there to write an article. Once you have these sources, rewrite your draft from them and it should be ready to publish! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 18:24, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, sounds good! Do I submit the sources with you in this chat? Luv2learn87 (talk) 20:32, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Luv2learn87: If you want, but the key thing is to have them in your draft itself! You can look at Help:Referencing for beginners to know how to do it! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 20:34, 14 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To be clear the references are press releases about the film. Would that be able to work? Luv2learn87 (talk) 03:33, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, those would not count as independent sources, which are what we're looking for on Wikipedia. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 03:35, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I uploaded an article from a newspaper. Would you be able to review this for me? Thanks! Luv2learn87 (talk) 15:46, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That article could be helpful, although it mostly mentions the film as background for the panel and the broader discussion, and might not constitute enough significant coverage of the documentary itself. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 15:51, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. There is wrong information on Jhelum Paranjape. I want to correct that. How do I go about it? --Jhetty (talk) 17:10, 12 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Jhetty! If you have a reliable source for the change, feel free to edit Jhelum Paranjape! If you are connected to him, you should instead make an edit request stating your proposed change and the source for it, so a volunteer will review it and make the change.

I'm having a hard time understanding how I wasn't nice yesterday to Bob. I didn't engage when he accused me of all sorts of wild things. Is it simply because I called his "wild, emotional, and sometimes incoherent articulation" as a 'rant' on my talk page? He openly and proudly divulged having written his autobiography using various accounts since 2007. Why/how are we supposed to assume good faith by such users? Asilvering is telling me to do so here [1]. I was doing recent changes patrol and the software flagged Bob's page, I never went looking for it. It took me 5 minutes to see that what was happening smelled funny and is morally wrong (COI). --m a MANÍ^{1990(talk | contribs)} 21:41, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming good faith is essential, as less regular users might not know all of our policies. For instance, on many websites, it is normal for users to write their own profile. Someone might know the theory of what a conflict of interest is and how it can be problematic, but not know that Wikipedia is one of the websites on which it can be an issue. Same for creating multiple accounts – although in this case, there wasn't an attempt at using them to evade scrutiny or at using multiple accounts at the same time, so it isn't really an issue. Keeping your calm with newcomers, even in the face of adversity, is a difficult skill to learn, but nonetheless a very important one. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 21:49, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

How many people have to approve of a neologism before it gets a Wikipedia article for it? Alecstanton201 (talk) 20:54, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Alecstanton201! It isn't about a set number of people approving of it, but writing about it in independent reliable sources. Our policy on neologisms explains it a little bit more, but we need content about the term (rather than simply using the term) as we are an encyclopedia and not a dictionary (unlike Wiktionary).

Dear Chaotic Enby (no, autocorrect, not "envy")!

I stumbled on the page Frescobaldi (an Italian family) today, whose contents immediately raised a bunch of red flags for me. The article has clearly been reworked into a puff piece for this family and for some sort of wine business.

Looking into the edit history, it appears that the page was wholly overhauled in March 2025 by a user calling himself Miniato-Marco4 (talk page).

Mercifully, swift action has already been taken to prevent further abusive edits. All down to your flagging of him for the promotional nature of a page he created, it would seem (April 2025). So thank you for that!

There remains the issue of undoing the damage. I'm uncertain how to go about this. Judging by the elaborate and impressive design of your user page (wow! very cool!) and your role as a new page patroller, I'd call you an advanced user of the site. So I thought I'd ask if there is a technical way – and whether it is consensus that such a thing may be or should be done – to revert all edits by this user en masse.

If not, I think I'll just undo the edit in question (unless you think any part of this user's contribution could be worth keeping?).

Kudos for working to maintain the integrity of the encyclopedia so effectively! I wonder if we could cooperate on similar problems with promotional content in future. I tried proposing the deletion of Cyril Benoit sometime last year, but the deletion reviewer apparently didn't agree (though he did not make his case) that an entirely promotional, poorly sourced article on a subject of dubious notability ought to be deleted; and I just haven't had the time or energy to build a full case for an AfD discussion.

Best regards! —§§ LegFun §§ talk §§ 17:33, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much @LegesFundamentales! (and you're far from the first to have this autocorrect!)

We can't just revert all edits by a user en masse with the block being the only justification, but, if many of their edits follow the same pattern that they got blocked for, they can absolutely be reverted. Wikipedia:Gravedancing goes into more detail on what is or isn't acceptable in terms of reverts.

Regarding deletion, we have to keep in mind that as long as the article is notable, improvement is often an alternative to deletion, and an AfD nomination would have to make the case that the subject is non-notable, or that the article is irremediably flawed. PRODs often get declined, and, while it requires more effort, nominating articles for AfD is usually the way to go. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 19:12, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Chaotic Enby, I submitted an edit request to the Talk page of the Sue Sisley article on June 22, 2025, and followed up after three weeks with no response. I’ve also posted at WikiProject Biography, but haven’t received any feedback yet.

Would you be willing to take a look at the request or recommend the best next step to get it reviewed?

Thank you so much for your help! --Emfrie (talk) 15:34, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Emfrie! As a piece of advice, if you want reviewers to be able to see your request more easily, you can tag it with {{Edit COI}} (otherwise, only people looking at that specific talk page will see it). Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 16:48, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Chaotic Enby, thank you so much for the helpful tip! I’ve just added the {{Edit COI}} tag to my request. I really appreciate your guidance - this process is definitely less intuitive than I expected! Thanks again!

~~Emfrie Emfrie (talk) 16:57, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Chaotic Enby, thank you for the note. I believe there may have been a mistake in this case. The link I added is a live webcam feed showing current conditions in the neighborhood, which provides valuable, real-time information for people interested in Downtown San Diego. It’s comparable to links for live traffic cams or public feeds that offer an informational resource, not promotional material.

I’d appreciate it if you could take another look. Happy to discuss further on your talk page. Thank you! Redideo (talk) 16:04, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Redideo! I removed the webcam link as it appeared to be your own website based on the username, and using external links to promote your own website is seen as advertising and strongly discouraged. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 16:09, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it is my website and I always attempt to be transparent rather than posting under a different username. I thought the webcam offered valuable information since there isn’t another live stream of the Gaslamp Quarter, but I guess that's not the case. Redideo (talk) 19:17, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is good to be transparent, actually! You can suggest it as an edit request with {{Edit COI}}, after reviewing our policy on external links! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 20:07, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Magnolia677: Yep, some additions like The global spread of Mexican cuisine reflects a growing appreciation for its cultural depth and regional diversity. in Special:Diff/1302757627 are likely AI and at the very least not in an encyclopedic tone.
