Hi, saw your comments. I'm new here. How to bring redirect articles to active forum? How to revert automatically not manually? The incorrect edits Please provide me reference or guidelines on this. SakuraSmart (talk) 17:24, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SakuraSmart: Hi there! I'm not sure I understand your questions. Where did you see my comments? Could you please give me an example of a "redirect article" that you want to bring to the "active forum"? There are some bots that revert vandalism automatically. You could ask the bot owners how they work. GoingBatty (talk) 17:40, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was reading Discography of Vachirawit, you mentioned post review that topic Adolescent is redirect. Thus, what are procedure policy to make it normal Wiki page SakuraSmart (talk) 07:49, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SakuraSmart: Oh, I had to review your contributions to see you're referring to the Bright Vachirawit Chivaaree discography article. In this edit, I removed the link to Adolescent (mini album) because it's a redirect to Vachirawit Chivaaree. Therefore, I believe your question is how to change Adolescent (mini album) into an article about the album. Looking at the history of the page, I see it used to be an article before it was changed into a redirect.

You would gather multiple independent reliable sources that have provided significant coverage of the album, and determine whether it meets Wikipedia's criteria for the inclusion of albums, called "notability". If so, you could follow the instructions at Help:Your first article and summarize what the sources have published, and be prepared for a process that may include waiting for review, declines, and rewrites before an article is accepted. Hope this helps, and happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 00:06, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. SakuraSmart (talk) 09:31, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I tried to edit the PVD page yesterday (19 hours ago) but now I am unable to see the reflection of that edit on Wikipedia. Why so? --No1Senster (talk) 13:25, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@No1Senster: Hi there! According to your contributions, I see you're referring to the Physical vapor deposition article. Note that your contributions show that your edit was reverted, which means it was undone. Looking at the history of the article, we can see who reverted your edit and when, and see that they gave the reason for the reversion as "Thank you for the good faith edit. This has no sources and is not written to Wikipedia's requirements. removing for now."

Reversions are a common part of the Wikipedia experience. Per the Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle page, you may wish to discuss your desired addition at the article's talk page: Talk:Physical vapor deposition. I see your edit does include some sources, but they're listed as external links instead of references. You may enjoy watching the video at WP:EASYREFBEGIN to learn how to create proper references. I also added a welcome message to your talk page with links to other helpful materials.

Don't let the reversion dissuade you from further editing. Wikipedia is a collaborative environment, and sometimes takes discussion with other editors to come up with consensus on what should be included in an article. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 18:47, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that helps a lot. Thankyou GoingBatty No1Senster (talk) 18:50, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, GoingBatty! Considering your recent edit to the Presidency of Ronald Reagan navigation template that I created, would you mind leaving a comment at a WikiProject United States Presidents talk page discussion about that template and the others that I created for the presidencies of Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush, and George W. Bush? Another editor and myself disagree about whether there should be a separate navigation template for each Presidency apart from the biographical navigation template. Thanks! -- CommonKnowledgeCreator (talk) 03:13, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CommonKnowledgeCreator: Hi there! I only removed some blank lines from the template because the extra space between templates looked odd on whatever article I was viewing at the time. I then noticed the template didn't have a talk page, so I added some WikiProject templates. I hope you'll make similar edits to the other templates you've created. While I like that you're willing to have a conversation about the templates based on some feedback you received, I'd rather not argue for or against the use of the templates. Happy editing!

Hi @GoingBatty, can you please help me on understanding and fixing this problem. I have been searching on google this article Etsubdink Legesse but it doesn't bring it to the search page. It brings some of the photos from the article, or an already removed photo from the article, but the page itself does not show up.

Grateful for your assistance or redirection to someone you suggest! Yohannes C (talk) 09:23, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Yohannes C: Hi there! I see that the article Etsubdink Legesse was created two days ago. Articles younger than 90 days are not available to be indexed by Google and other search engines, unless they have been patrolled. For more information, see Wikipedia:Controlling search engine indexing. Happy editing! GoingBatty (talk) 13:41, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
