Hello, I was wondering how/if i can get straight into translation? I speak english and spanish and honestly have no interest in editing english wikis, just translating spanish ones into english --Fenaviel (talk) 14:50, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Fenaviel; welcome to Wikipedia! There's some information on how to translate other-language articles to the English Wikipedia at Help:Translation. In particular, please note the content guidelines (the first section of the help page) — just because material is in another Wikipedia does not necessarily mean that, once translated, it is suitable for the English Wikipedia. Once you are extended confirmed, you can also use the content translation tool to aid this process. Please let me know if you have any further questions!

Why was I given both up and down votes on a duplicate edit on the same page? I was clarifying an abbreviation that was lacking an explanation and one of them is -3 while the other is +24. --Doubledowny (talk) 10:06, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I am a Wikipedia editor who likes airplane articles. :P one question. I want to add an image for the Xi'an MA700 article but I am having some trouble with it can you help me? --Guy89272 (talk) 02:50, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Guy89272: Briefly, new users (like you) are randomly assigned a mentor whom they can easily ask questions. (Mentors are more experienced users who have signed up to get such questions.) As context, the mentorship features are some new-ish features added as part of a package by the Wikimedia Foundation, the organisation that operates and maintains the Wikipedia servers and platform.

Hello, thank you for your help when I had trouble before. I am trying to learn about info boxes for the brands I have written about (Proper Cloth, AMI Paris, and Clé de Peau Beauté. I tried with AMI first to make this by copying the info box from Miu Miu which worked but I don't understand how to make the logo show up. Can you help me? --Patientia1 (talk) 05:40, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Patientia1: To add a logo to an infobox, the image would first have to be uploaded. There's some information at Wikipedia:Uploading images which explains how to do this (and the copyright implications). Once you understand this, I would recommend using the file upload wizard. As a logo, one of the larger considerations is whether it is above the threshold of originality and hence copyrightable — there's a helpful page on how to determine this on Commons. If you are unsure, I would recommend uploading it as a non-free file. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 19:30, 14 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Patientia1: Some infoboxes, like Template:Infobox company, automatically fill certain parameters (such as logos, in this case) with data from Wikidata when the parameter is not specified in the template itself. Thus you can add the logo to the Wikidata item, or add it directly to the infobox using the logo parameter; both produce the same result. Tol (talk | contribs) @ 21:22, 18 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Hello! I'm looking at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellingham,_Washington#Economy and find that numbers around median listing price are always out of date. And giving a single number doesn't reflect the realities of the market: there are clear trends, especially in comparison to the state overall.
Hi @Julievdh; thanks for asking! Per policy, most images added to Wikipedia must be freely licensed or public domain. (There are some exceptions for "fair use" of non-free content.) The chart you linked looks like it would not be copyrightable, as I do not believe it meets the threshold of originality. If you just want to add this graph, I would recommend uploading it to Commons; when it asks about the copyright status, you can enter the tag {{PD-chart}}.

Repairing Conflict of Interest
Hello I previously reached out regarding a redirect as I intended to build an article for "Russell Gordon" that kept redirecting to "Russell T Gordon" and after reading your reply, I agree that the content was subjective and potentially a conflict. Wondering how to revert to the original article or if that's something you can do? I'm not skilled enough to correct this and feel bad it's still up with multiple issues. Thank you.
