Question from Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar (15:51, 31 July 2024)

I am writing to seek your guidance regarding my article, "2024 July Massacare in Bangladesh". Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_July_Massacare_in_Bangladesh, Despite multiple edits and attempts to improve the article based on feedback, it continues to be flagged as an orphan article.

I would be grateful for your expertise in identifying potential linking opportunities or suggesting ways to integrate the article more effectively into the Wikipedia network.

Thank you for your time and assistance. --Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar (talk) 15:51, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An "orphan" article is one that has no other articles linking in to it. If you want to de-orphan it, find other articles which are relevant and add links to that one! Then the tag can be removed. —Ganesha811 (talk) 15:53, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As you instructed, I have added the relevant links. Could you please take care of that? Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar (talk) 18:37, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Orphan" is about adding links to *other* pages which link to the page you're working on. It means that there aren't any other Wikipedia articles which link to it. —Ganesha811 (talk) 19:17, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sir, there are at least two articles in Wikipedia well connected to this ongoing event and as per your instruction, I added the links. You are kindly requested to give importance on it. Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar (talk) 19:37, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! It appears that the subject you are writing about is already well-covered at 2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement. I suggest you transfer your energies to that article and work to improve it. In addition, the article title you created is unfortunately misspelled ("massacare" instead of "massacre"). If you don't mind, I'll fix the title and create a redirect to the 2024 Bangladesh quota reform movement article. —Ganesha811 (talk) 19:46, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It will be my pleasure if you kindly redirect it. Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar (talk) 20:04, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please fix the title also. Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar (talk) 20:20, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done! —Ganesha811 (talk) 21:31, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I see you've contributed a lot to Alux, would you be interested in a taskforce on oral tradition? Kowal2701 (talk) 14:22, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from EmmaChiaJenXi (07:11, 9 August 2024)

Hello, may I know how I can add references to the page about Alocasia portei? I added descriptions of the plant but failed to add the references. Thank you. --EmmaChiaJenXi (talk) 07:11, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Michael Varial (02:41, 17 August 2024)

Hi Ganesha, I began an article a few months ago in a planned series about climate change adaptation practitioners. I can't find that draft, and was wondering if there is a way to retrieve it somehow? It looks like there is a time period after which drafts may be deleted? --Michael Varial (talk) 02:41, 17 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you remember the name of the draft article you were working on? If it has been deleted I may be able to retrieve it for you. —Ganesha811 (talk) 14:32, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar (15:23, 19 August 2024)

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to request your assistance in adding a few lines to the "Second Balkan War" article on Wikipedia. Since the page is semi-protected, I am unable to make the edits myself.

The sentences I would like to add are:

"The political upheavals and territorial shifts resulting from the Second Balkan War also resonated beyond Europe. The Indian Muslim community, with its strong pan-Islamic sentiment towards the Ottoman Empire, was significantly impacted. The Indian Red Crescent Mission's involvement with the Ottoman lands during the Balkan Wars fostered a deeper connection between Indian Muslims and the Ottoman cause, influencing political movements in India, including the Khilafat Movement and the eventual founding of the Muslim League."

I would appreciate it if you could place these lines in the "Aftermath" section of the article, just before the following lines:

"To this end, it participated in the First World War on the side of the Central Powers since its Balkan enemies (Serbia, Montenegro, Greece, and Romania) were pro-Entente (see articles on the Serbian Campaign and the Macedonian front of World War I). The resulting enormous sacrifices during World War I and renewed defeat caused Bulgaria a national trauma and new territorial losses."

For reference, the source for this information is:

Thank you for your assistance. --Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar (talk) 15:23, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! You should be able to make the edit yourself; semi-protection locks articles for those whose accounts have fewer than 10 edits and/or are less than 4 days old. There should be no barrier for you to edit Second Balkan War yourself - have at it! —Ganesha811 (talk) 15:31, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the helpful guidance, Sir. Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar (talk) 16:25, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from FredArtson (12:52, 25 August 2024)

Hi Ganesha! I was wondering, if someone makes a big change in a wikipedia page, suppose, he clears all the main things in the page, or he removed the punctuation on the pages, then how do we deal with those changes? --FredArtson (talk) 12:52, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Essentially any edit can be reverted, and any page changed back to what it was, by other editors. No special permission is needed to fix things. Wikipedia works because properly breaking things is generally hard and slow, while fixing things is easy and fast. 17:35, 25 August 2024 (UTC) —Ganesha811 (talk) 17:35, 25 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
