Question from TommyTomsk (10:43, 20 March 2025)

can you create a article with nothing but lord bendtner himself --TommyTomsk (talk) 10:43, 20 March 2025 (UTC)

Please elaborate Lordseriouspig 13:01, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

elaborating is a fake thing made up by the media

but ill explain it

When i mean by "lord bendtner", i mean by footballer Nicklas Bendtner, just because hes simply lord bendtner TommyTomsk (talk) 16:55, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

You could probably make an article about this footballer, if he is considered notable enough for an article Lordseriouspig 08:10, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

why are admins corrupt?

why do admins become like qataris if they invested in wikipedia instead of fifa when they see a article with no sources? TommyTomsk (talk) 18:33, 22 March 2025 (UTC)

The Admins aren't corrupt, they are simply following policy. Wikipedia articles should be sourced; we need to ensure that all of are articles are factually correct. Please read more here: WP:REFB Lordseriouspig 08:09, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for being a mentor.

I learned about recovering a page that was in draft status for a scientist named Marcia Bjornerud and the page has been recovered. I have twice tried to add an "{{Infobox scientist...}}" block and am am not seeing any record of the changes. Should I try again assuming I am doing something wrong or am I not allowed to edit the page?

I appreciate any help or suggestions.

Thank you, WG --Web.gamma54 (talk) 03:00, 27 March 2025 (UTC)

I don't see a record of adding the infobox, can you try again and update me when you have. Thanks Lordseriouspig 07:32, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from Audrey Woolf (05:54, 30 March 2025)

Hi! I have a question about citations. I have noticed that some articles, probably in an effort to avoid 'citation overkill', do not always cite sources for new material if the source has already been cited, e.g. source A supports sentences X and Y, but is only cited after X. Is this acceptable practice, and if not, what policy does this come under? Thank you🪻 --Audrey Woolf (talk) 05:54, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

Citations should be placed at the end of text they support. Material that is repeated multiple times in a paragraph does not require an inline citation for every mention.
- WP:CONSECUTIVECITE

If the information that is from the same source is in a different paragraph, the source should be cited with the first instance like so <ref name="foo">content</ref>, with all consecutive references like this: <ref name="foo" /> Lordseriouspig 07:48, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from TheKayBriz on Rachel Chinouriri (06:39, 6 April 2025)

Hello. I've seen an entry about someone serving as a "child soldier" but happen to know that there were NO child soldiers in that particular country. Advice? --TheKayBriz (talk) 06:39, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

You'd need reliable sources to support those claims Lordseriouspig 06:31, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from Oswold1 (10:51, 8 April 2025)

hi --Oswold1 (talk) 10:51, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi! Lordseriouspig 06:31, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from SwagJakePaul (00:57, 10 April 2025)

Howdy, not too sure of the mentoring process on Wikipedia. I intend to stick to mostly sports based articles if i do end up editing. I am not extremely familiar with the editing guidelines though. I have yet to read up on MOS, so ill be sure to take a look at it before i start doing anything.

I figured since it gave me this nice warm welcome and linked me to someone, i should at the bare minimum say hello! --SwagJakePaul (talk) 00:57, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia! Lordseriouspig 06:30, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Thank you!!! SwagJakePaul (talk) 23:31, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from Twalkerj (05:06, 10 April 2025)

If wanting to add my name as spouse to a Wikipedia account and he is now deceased do I need the death certificate authorized copy? To add my name? As i have it. Thank you. Blessings. --Twalkerj (talk) 05:06, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

I wouldn't recommend editing anything related to you, as it is a WP:COI. Lordseriouspig 06:30, 12 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from Kathygardener6565& (15:43, 15 April 2025)

Hi, I've been listed as "experienced." I appreciate the compliment but I've never done any professional editing. So, let's knock me back to beginner. I would love to help with this editing project. I just think I better tart with the "easy" stuff. Thank you! --Kathygardener6565& (talk) 15:43, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi, What do you mean by listed as "experienced.". Lordseriouspig 03:19, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from TheNonEditor (22:36, 17 April 2025)

Do edirs have to be submitted and revised to the moderators or do they go through instantly when you click Edit? Back in like 2022, I do not think it was. --TheNonEditor (talk) 22:36, 17 April 2025 (UTC)

They are changed instantly, unless you have edited a page with Pending changes protection, denoted by this icon in the top right of the page

Lordseriouspig 03:16, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Thanks! I had an account in 2022 and wasn't sure if they still do that. TheNonEditor (talk) 16:21, 19 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from MelonApostate (01:46, 22 April 2025)

Hi, on the page talking about the ancient city Shuruppak ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuruppak), the two years on the length of rule chart, both are in the ten thousands range. Would it be appropriate to add more realistic numbers by dividing by 100 to remove the two extra zeroes and divide by 12 to take into account the lunar cycle? --MelonApostate (talk) 01:46, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

I think it's fine as it is. Lordseriouspig 07:35, 23 April 2025 (UTC)

Question from Cyrix Sòng (17:09, 27 April 2025)

Hello ! Apparently you are my assigned mentor, I was looking for some help in order to make the articles I'm editing even better ones. I reached someone who was in the "mentorship" page, but if you are here, then maybe we can already start collaborating. Here is the article I started working on: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinchilla_(chanteuse)

Any advice on how to fix the formatting issues on the bottom tables ? The list formatting is messed up and I'd like to have it clean.

Have a nice day, --Cyrix Sòng (talk) 17:09, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Hi User:Cyrix Sòng!

Unfortunately I can't help you on the French Wikipedia, maybe you should ask someone on that project. Lordseriouspig 21:21, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

Noted, thank you for your reply. Cyrix Sòng (talk) 13:17, 30 April 2025 (UTC)
