New Article
I have a new article called Split of CBS Corporation and Viacom. Can you review? Thanks! Merv Mat (talk) 4:17, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Merv Mat, I'm not an expert in this kind of article, but I'm worried it may get nominated for WP:AfD. It relies very heavily on primary sources and may not demonstrate lasting notability beyond one event. If you can find any secondary reports or scholarship about the split, that would strengthen the article quite a bit. Fritzmann (message me) 02:52, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

GA Process for Telephone-Pole beetle
Hello! About a month ago I had submitted a DYK nomination for the telephone-pole beetle, and you commented that it has the potential to reach GA status with some work. Would you be able to help me through this process? Thanks!MichelleLi455 (talk) 17:43, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- MichelleLi455, absolutely! I am currently working with the author of Thistle tortoise beetle to do the same process. Take a look at the talk page there; I would have a lot of similar comments for your article. See if some of those critiques are applicable and do your best to implement them, and then nominate it for GAN! I will probably be able to start reviewing it in detail sometime next week. Also be sure to carefully read the article and copyedit it for any spelling and grammar mistakes. Glad to have you working so thoroughly on this topic!

Redirect
Hi,
Mandazi is commonly referred to as Mahamri [1]. How would I create a redirect for the Mandazi page accordingly?
Any ideas for how to include this fact in the article and whether I can use this as a reference that Mahamri is often called Mandazi (since it says Mahamri or Mandazi).
Also, I think @Dr. Trafalgar D Water Law in the post above meant MTV Splitsvilla (season 15). He seems to be pretty active on that page.
Thanks. /Pongy 17:42, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hello DingDongPingPong, Mahamri is already a redirect to Mandazi. Reading the article, it also already mentions the other name in the infobox and in the section called "Preparation". Fritzmann (message me) 18:21, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks!
- But, in general, how do I add a redirect? /Pongy 20:13, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Help:Redirect gives a very good guide, and you can even create new redirects directly from that page. Fritzmann (message me) 22:31, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I'm just getting started as an editor. Dipping toe in, I tried to "copy edit" pages suggested by wiki. These pages had been flagged with issues larger than problems with copy. This one for example is highly partisan. Can you suggest a better approach to get started? --Birdephant (talk) 23:18, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- Birdephant, thank you for your contributions so far! Yes, many pages that need copyediting also have other issues. I recommend looking at The Wikipedia Adventure, which is kind of a game-ified introduction to wikipedia. It will give you a lot of the skills you need to figure out those articles that are more complex, and even add information to things you are passionate about. I'm also available as a resource if you have more specific questions in the future and can help you with problems you run into. Very Respectfully, Fritzmann (message me) 12:40, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

Question from DexterlyCell (13:28, 3 May 2024)
I want to create an article about Brawl Stars, a game by Supercell. Can you read this article and tell me how I did?
Brawl Stars is a free-to-play game by Supercell. Brawl Stars consists of many characters to choose from, each having their own abilities. Battle of in Showdown, or maybe try out the new Ranked mode. No matter what player you are, you are sure to have fun. Want a friend to join with you in the battle? With the friend code, you can! Just go to friends, tell them your code, and boom! If Showdown is too boring, than try the other game modes. Supercell is updating the game consistently, so you will always have something new to do. This game may be free-to-play, but it is also pay-to-win. Have some birthday money that you just want to spend? With the shop, there are always new skins, skins, and skins to buy! Let's dive into the Ranked game mode. In Ranked, you will be paired up with people of your similar skill level (like showdown, but different), and the games are chosen randomly. Every time the new season starts, there are modifiers that will change how you play. With all this excitement, what will be next! Let's talk about Gem Grab, a 3v3 match all about grabbing the most gems. When you die, you lose your gems. With this fast-paced game mode, you will be sure to tier up fast. Brawl Ball, the soccer-based game mode about scoring goals. Join in another 3v3 of fun! Thank you for reading this article. I will update this for some of the best characters. --DexterlyCell (talk) 13:28, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- DexterlyCell, this article already exists at Brawl Stars. I also recommend you read our policy on tone of writing in encyclopedic articles. Fritzmann (message me) 14:27, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- Could I update it? DexterlyCell (talk) 13:09, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- Due to repeated vandalism at that article, it is semi-protected from edits by new editors. If you have parts of it you want to improve with reliable sources, place a message on the talk page with your suggestion. Fritzmann (message me) 13:18, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Request for Review and Feedback on Michelle Valberg Article
Hello!
I am currently working on a new Wikipedia article about Michelle Valberg, a prominent Canadian wildlife and nature photographer. Given your experience and expertise, I would greatly appreciate your review and feedback on this draft to ensure its accuracy, neutrality, and compliance with Wikipedia's guidelines.
The article covers various aspects of Michelle Valberg's career, her contributions to photography, and her philanthropic efforts, particularly through Project North. I aim to create a well-rounded and informative article that reflects her significant impact on both photography and community support in the Arctic regions.
Here is the link to the draft: Draft:Michelle Valberg
I would be grateful for any suggestions you might have on improving the article, especially regarding the balance of content and adherence to Wikipedia’s style and standards.
Thank you so much! Best regards Bojamon (talk) 16:46, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
- Bojamon, I'm not particularly well-versed in BLP articles, but after giving it a quick look it seems to be in pretty good shape. Here are just a few things I noticed:
- There are a lot of subsections in the Career part; can you merge any of them? You can probably just have each of the topics be its own paragraph within the Career section, without needing any of the subheadings.
- Parts of the personal life section should not be included, like where she spends her time
- There is a lot of commentary on Valberg's motivations or commitments. These should be trimmed down and the article should focus solely on what she has done, or what recognition she has received
- Other than that, let me know when you submit the draft for review and I can assist with anything the reviewer might point out that I missed. Fritzmann (message me) 13:50, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much for taking the time to look at it, I really appreciate the pointers and will make those changes. I'll let you know once I've submitted the draft for review! Thanks again. Bojamon (talk) 20:52, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello Fritzmann2002! I was curious how long (generally) does it take for my edits to be verified by Wikipedia and be approved? Thank you. --UBCYR829 (talk) 06:42, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
- @UBCYR829: all pending edits on articles that have edit protection are approved by volunteers, so the time it takes can vary. In your case, another editor reviewed your edits within about half an hour, but they were reverted for a few reasons. The biggest one is that the lead of an article is supposed to be a short summary of its contents; in-depth details and commentary don't belong there. Those should go in the body of the article, where the bulk of the content is. If you have more questions about editing, feel free to let me know! Fritzmann (message me) 14:52, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Other interpretations
The New Jerusalem
As discovered in Revelation 21:9-11, the only clear identification of the Bride of Christ in the New Testament refer to the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation. This would agree with the many Old Testament images depicting Yahweh God as being wed to biblical Israel. With reference to the identification of the Bride of Christ as the Church, the following comments may be made: It should be noted that the purpose of Ephesians 5 is to describe the unity Christ has with “his body”, which is compared to the unity between a husband and wife. The point is not that the church is the bride, but that the church is united with Christ. In Romans 7:4, the Greek word translated by the KJV as “married” is actually “to become” or “to belong to” and is used nowhere else in scripture to mean “married”. Referring to 2 Corinthians 11:2-4, it is seldom noticed that 2 Corinthians 11:1 states clearly that Paul considers these verses to be an act of “foolishness”. That is, he is being imaginative in order to make a point about the church’s dedication to God. He may not be saying that the church is literally the Bride; he is certainly demonstrating the folly of a church that is unfaithful to her Lord. The only clear designation of the identity of the Bride of Christ in the Bible is found in Revelation 21:9-11, where she is ident --BKBrigham (talk) 02:25, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Question from Guitram (16:30, 2 July 2024)
I'm wanting to start my own page to link my name that is already mentioned in Wikipedia pages. I'm a 74 year old guitarist Johnny Vernazza. Can't seem to get out of editing or the "Sandbox" Thank you in advance for any help as IT is not my forte' music is. --Guitram (talk) 16:30, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Guitram, I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do. This is an online encyclopedia, and only subjects with Reliable Sources meet our criteria for articles. Additionally, creating an article for yourself means you have a conflict of interest, which is also against the guidelines. Fritzmann (message me) 18:51, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Yes I understand. I want to have my own Wikipedia page. I have been a professional Union musician since 1963 playing on hit records in the 1970's. My name is mentioned on Elvin Bishop's page , but not high lighted. I have years of press, reliable sources, appeared on TV music shows in the 70's played on well over 20 LPs on major record labels including the #3 Billboard hit " Fooled Around and Fell in Love" What do I need to do? Can I do this myself or need to hire someone? Thank you Guitram (talk) 19:09, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- www.johnnyv.net Guitram (talk) 19:11, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Guitram, all editors on Wikipedia are volunteers, and paid editing is generally frowned upon. I'm not someone who knows how to write music articles, or is interested in writing them. However, I can recommend you to post on this page, which is where some music editors coordinate their efforts. As I mentioned earlier, creating an article about yourself means it will not be neutral or unbiased, so it is generally not allowed. What you could do is start a draft (click this link and then Launch the Article Wizard. Then if another editor wants to pick it up (which they aren't obligated to), they'll have a foundation and a starting point. Fritzmann (message me) 01:52, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

Just click "upload photos" on the main page or the left sidebar, and there should be step-by-step guidance over there. Let me know if you have any issues with the uploader or submitting the photos!
