How do comment on AfDs? Do i have to be an extended comfirmed user? --DAmik001 (talk) 20:07, 8 August 2025 (UTC)

Hello @DAmik001,

Do i have to be an extended comfirmed user?

No, you do not.

How do comment on AfDs?

Good question. There are two ways to do this:

1. Right next to the reason why they nominated the article, click the [reply] button. A box will pop up and you can cast your vote with its rationale in a message.
2. (Slightly harder)Next to the name of the article which has been nominated, click [edit source]. Go to the bottom of the text, go to a blank line, enter a *, a space, your vote and rationale followed by another space, then ~~~~, then publish the changes.

Please remember to bold your vote so others can distinguish your vote and rationale.

Hope this helps, thetechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 20:03, 11 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Biyelarh,

Hi, i would lke to know more about loveplus --Jay's world 2 (talk) 14:41, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Jay's world 2, are you referring to this game? thetechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 19:06, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I tried this my first public page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorcas_Rigathi. How would you like me to improve, I did pretty good research... --Tgyatso (talk) 09:45, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Tgyatso,

Congrats on your first published article! As for improvements:

1. I would add links to things which have Wikipedia articles already, like Murang'a County.
2. I would talk about what she has been doing after her husband's impeachment, if any such info is there. Right now, it feels like the article cuts off there.

Hope this helps! thetechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 19:11, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

When I lock article --Soumyadeep14 (talk) 04:34, 23 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi @Soumyadeep14, please elaborate on your question. What are you referring to? thetechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 20:53, 23 August 2025 (UTC)

Hello TheTechie. You're my assigned editing mentor. I wanted to ask about editing in images rather than text. I can see how copyright might easily be an issue here. Specifically, I'm thinking about the Isle of Skye's page. Its lead image, other than the flag, is a really boring picture of random street in Portree. Given that its the first image, couldn't it be a little better? Its like if London's lead picture decided to show some traffic lights in Harrow rather than something like Big Ben. Main candidates to replace would be a shot of Portree Harbor or the Cullin Mountainrange, each of which show up later in the article. Any help, any thoughts? Thanks --JJ3107 (talk) 16:19, 20 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi @JJ3107,

I'm not sure I agree. Given that Portree appears to be the biggest city, I think it's fitting to leave it there. thetechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 19:07, 22 August 2025 (UTC)

Great, thanks JJ3107 (talk) 17:05, 24 August 2025 (UTC)
