Hi @Basharat254, welcome to Wikipedia.

For doctors, it is important that the person you are writing about meets the criteria on this page. Generally, if they have not published works that have had a significant impact in their respective field, they are not sufficient notable for inclusion in Wikipedia.

For general article advice, please see Help:Your first article. Thank you! – Isochrone (talk) 00:58, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks a lot . Basharat254 (talk) 10:26, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Joseph Waksberg Wikipedia draft page

Hello Isochrone,

I just resubmitted the page after editing to remove any instances that I thought could be copyright infringement of an interview with Waksberg from the journal Statistical Science. I really hope this passes muster since it's the 5th revision of the page.

If you still see copyright issues, could you please note exactly which sentences are a problem.

Thanks

@Rstat43 After some changes, I have approved the article. I have removed some very excessively detailed information, and the in-text citations you included (we instead use numbered, indexed citations which they have been replaced with).

From what I can tell there are no longer any copyright issues, but in the future please ensure that you use sources completely in your own words, and they in no way have even similar phrasing to the source text.

Thank you for your article! – Isochrone (talk) 20:09, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Atulsingh.ind (10:59, 5 August 2024)

Hello I am looking to edit a page about history of bhumihar community in india. The history presented is scarce and biased and also based on rumours and not on the facts which is accepted in the article. I want to learn how to edit it or even if you could do it that would be in great interest of humanity. Because rumours and biased facts are very dangerous in this age and wikipedia is not expected to spread rumours as it has a reputation and people believes in it. --Atulsingh.ind (talk) 10:59, 5 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Sophia Systems (10:21, 10 August 2024)

Hello Isochrone (sorry if that's not your username, I can't see it in the pop up). I have always loved Wikipedia, and now I finally feel like I have something to contribute. However, I also want to learn how Wikipedia can help me build and model my own knowledge bases and databases. Are you familiar with any such private use? --Sophia Systems (talk) 10:21, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

@Sophia Systems Welcome to Wikipedia. I am confused as to what your use case is. If you want to contribute, Help:Introduction is a helpful guide. What do you mean by "knowledge base"? As in, downloading a copy of Wikipedia, or rather, creating your own "wiki"? – Isochrone (talk) 11:24, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Question from Finceptcorp (04:33, 15 August 2024)

Question from OWMatPaget (22:55, 15 August 2024)

Hey Isochrone! Nice to e-meet you. :)

I am updating the Starship Troopers: Extermination page with the game's updated art, but it was rejected shortly after I uploaded the art. How do I do this without getting rejected? --OWMatPaget (talk) 22:55, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi @OWMatPaget and welcome to Wikipedia :) You have unintentionally stumbled on one of the most complicated parts of contributing: copyright.

In almost all cases, we require images to allow commercial use, even with modification, to anyone (though usually with attribution). In very limited cases, like this, we waive the rules for non-free files.

As uploading these is very complex, I am happy to do so for you. You can link it here. In the future, you can also request on the files for upload page that this is done for you.

If you want to learn how to do this for yourself, I am happy to teach you. – Isochrone (talk) 09:03, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Hey Isochrone! All good. I appreciate the help. The image I want to add to Wikipedia is the same one added to IMDB.

It’s okay to delete the Template:User Minor template

I don’t feel comfortable having this up on Wikipedia, so the article can be deleted. If it gets my account into trouble, I hope not. I wish to keep adding to Wikipedia daily. Bennett1203 (talk) 23:17, 18 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi @Bennett1203, you're in no way in trouble :) You had no malicious intent so it's fine. – Isochrone (talk) 08:21, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
