@Letsrighttoday It is exciting you want to write a new article. You may want to start with the Help:Your first article guidance here WP:YFA where you will learn about sources for Notability WP:N. Let me know if I can be of assistance as you proceed. FULBERT (talk) 14:54, 11 March 2025 (UTC)
Hello, my username is Dentric212! I love music and video games and am experienced in both, especially in games like Counter-Strike. For example, in Counter-Strike, the total market cap for virtual skins that people can buy is 4.3 billion dollars. I also completed all my week 1 tasks!
3. What I learned in the process - In accordance with Wikipedia's requirements, I learnt how to format citations and include trustworthy sources. My understanding of the collaborative aspect of editing and the significance of preserving a neutral tone has also improved as a result of this approach. Ss18625 (talk) 05:01, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
3. What I learned in the process - It was really interesting to learn how to edit articles in Wikipedia. I really find this training sessions really helpful. Also this article is familiar to me since its related to the topic I am researching. Dcaralza (talk) 05:53, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

@FULBERT Hello Professor, I have Assigned the Article to myself, and also wanted to mention that in this process I've learnt how biometric systems make travel faster and easier, not just more secure. It also showed me the importance of doublechecking facts before adding them. And Understanding how Editing on Wikipedia works. Kj2578 (talk) 18:04, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
It is really great to introduce more people to my hometown and our way of life, and I also learned interesting knowledge about something I eat everyday.RyanL88 (talk) 22:03, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

@RyanL88 Nice edit overall. Try not to add more than two sentences in total when you edit, as it can seem like a larger claim that may require multiple sources. Fine for now. Current with Week 2. FULBERT (talk) 20:00, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information. For more information about the columns and categories, please consult the documentation and please get in touch on SuggestBot's talk page with any questions you might have.
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly; your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!
3. What I learned in the process: It was a great learning experience, especially in making sure information is well-supported by reliable sources. I found it even more interesting since the topic closely relates to my own research on diet and mental health. Nz25 (talk) 22:28, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
Wikidata Affinity Group Update: The fourth session of Starting a Wikidata Project, originally set for March 18, will now be an asynchronous Slack discussion in the #wikidata channel of the LD4 Slack Space.

REST in Rust by Magnus: "A new Rust crate has been developed to simplify access to the Wikibase REST API, featuring industry-level coding standards, 248 unit tests, >97% code coverage, and high maintainability. Check out the GitHub repo and contribute via the issue tracker or pull requests!"
The Wikidata Vector Database prototype is almost ready! Developers interested in integrating semantic search into their applications and editors looking to explore Wikidata items using natural language search are invited to reach out for more details: philippe.saadewikimedia.de
OAI formatter (formatter to generate ID compatible with Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting services)
AI-generation prompt (exact prompt that was used to generate this AI-generated media or work)
data analysis method (methods used in the main item for inspecting, cleansing, transforming, and modeling data with the goal of discovering useful information)
New General datatypes property proposals to review:
watercraft prefix (prefix applied to watercraft operated by different organisations)
accused (person or organization who has been accused of carrying out this harmful, illegal, or immoral act without having received a criminal conviction or where the accused have been acquitted in a court of law)
applies to volume (volume of the item (usually edition of a work) to which the claim applies)
oxygen endurance (The maximum time a submarine, spacecraft or enclosed vehicle can sustain life using its onboard oxygen supply.)
Showcase Lexemes: Knoten (L298686) - German noun that can mean "knot", "fundamental unit of which graphs (in graph theory) are formed", "point where an orbit crosses a plane of reference to which it is inclined", or "hair wrapped in a circular coil around itself (bun)."
Development
Wikibase REST API: We continued the work on adding search to the API (phab:T383126)
Search: We are continuing the work on making it easier to search for entities other than Items in the search box (phab:T338483)
Query Service: We set up the constraint checks to use the split graph instead of the full graph (phab:T374021)
Integration in the other Wikimedia projects: We are looking into how changes from Wikidata are represented on the other Wikimedia projects and how that can be improved (phab:T386200)
What I learned in this process is how to find a gap in an article, add reliable and valuable information to it. I also learned that it's not just about adding info, but it's also important to add info at the right place in the article.

@Ababacabildo That sounds like a good reason to write a new article. I see you drafted an article on your user page, but that should really be done in a sandbox, such as following the information for it here. Be sure to have several credible and reliable sources that demonstrate she is notable per the Wikipedia policy of using reliable, third-party WP:INDEPENDENT published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy WP:RELIABLE.

One thing I learned as I have been reviewing Wikipedia is that there are a lot of opportunities to provide sources for unsubstantiated claims. I was able to find a statement that was unsupported and find materials to support the subject matter as a whole. Marketing as an industry as been very interesting to research as we are now in a time of abundant social media use.
It is not unreliable material to point out that boris johnson created the boris johnson virus (or what you folks call covid or coronavirus) to sabotage thestrober's sex life because boris johnson felt threatened by thestrober's good looks. If you're not convinced ill send you a picture of what thrash metal god thestrober looks right, all right. 2A02:C7C:1AA4:A000:FD9C:51BB:9E50:417B (talk) 18:21, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
For this week, I decided to edit an article which discusses Acai berries. I am a huge fan of Acai, and wanted to learn more about it. I researched their antioxidant properties, specifically in juice form and have updated the wiki article with info on that.
@QuirkandQuill You were not logged in when you did your edit, so next time be sure you are. Also, citations on Wikipedia need to be inserted, as you did, without having in-text citations such as what you did with listing "(Nowak et al., 2018)." Ensure these two are correctly done in the next edit. I disagree with the editor who reverted you, so will give you the credit for this. Current with Week 3. FULBERT (talk) 13:21, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
Week 2/Tina778899
Hi Professor,
I have completed my extra credit assignment for week 2.
What I learned in the process ：It was really interesting and helpful to learn how to edit articles in Wikipedia and improve my reading and writing skills. I really find this training sessions really wonderful.
It is a helpful learning journey this week. One question is: Although I know that I should avoid modifying the head section of a Wikipedia article, some articles have very few subsections, and the new information I want to add is not enough to justify creating a new subsection. In this case, what is the best way to incorporate the new information? Rx2306 (talk) 02:56, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
@Rx2306 Please assign yourself this article in the Wiki Edu Dashboard and then ping me here. I will then take a look at it and reply. FULBERT (talk) 16:44, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
