All Hands on Deck! There's conversation to be had with other editors!

Greetings! I have a question about an article I edited before but now the page is protected because of my "vandalism" The page is "siege of Goražde" i changed the result/outcome section to "Bosniak victory", I put this because Bosniak forces defended the town and stopped the Serbian attack, hence the Bosniak victory. But the edit was removed and the page was put under protection. I would like to know why and how was I in the wrong? And if there is anythinf you could do? Thanks in advance --Biba10588 (talk) 17:24, 17 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Why was my submission rejected? What did I do wrong? --Theangrymoms (talk) 14:15, 25 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi @Theangrymoms. Your draft is not a valid Wikipedia article, it's just a list of people who have signed a petition? Go to a social media website instead if you want to get people to sign a petition qcne (talk) 14:58, 25 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

How to I create a citation, and would you mind linking related pages within my edit? I’m not sure how to link the page for Mandalorians, etc. --TheOrion124 (talk) 14:29, 29 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

@TheOrion124 see Help:citation for introduction to citations. For linking between Wikipedia pages, it looks like you figured it out with your linking of Mandalorian? CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!} ⚓ 20:36, 29 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Technical news

• Starting on November 4, the IP addresses of logged-out editors are no longer being publicly displayed. Instead, they will have a temporary account associated with their edits.
• Administrators will now find that Special:MergeHistory is now significantly more flexible about what it can merge. It can now merge sections taken from the middle of the history of the source (rather than only the start) and insert revisions anywhere in the history of the destination page (rather than only the start).

Hello! If I am really interested in a singular subject (You'd never guess what by the username, but it's fire), would it be better to start editing articles in that area which I already know about and are interested in, or just do whichever random ones the suggested edit machine wants me to do? --Phlogiston Enthusiast (talk) 21:04, 10 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

@Phlogiston Enthusiast Well if you have a particular area in mind and would like to work on it, by all means, start there! Phlogiston theory surely could use more reliable sources. Let me know if you have any questions! CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!} ⚓ 05:43, 11 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I edited a few things, and fixed a hoax on the article about Stahl's student, as well as fixing the article on Stahl. does it look okay?

Phlogiston Enthusiast (talk) 00:41, 12 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hello again! So sorry to bother. I am enjoying wikipedia, and editing articles related to my interests! However, as you can see on my user page, I am struggling with mental health issues which are somewhat related. I would like to know if this counts as a conflict of interest. Please advise.

Best wishes, Phlogiston Enthusiast (talk) 18:37, 12 December 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

@Phlogiston Enthusiast no that's not a conflict of interest. See WP:COI. Actual COIs are things like "works for company X and then writes about them". As a side note, per WP:NOTTHERAPY, Wikipedia is not therapy. If you think you can't write about a subject without being a problem, don't write about it. There are lots of other subjects on Wikipedia.
