User talk:Cassiopeia

This user talk page might be watched by friendly talk page stalkers, which means that someone other than me might reply to your query. Their input is welcome and their help with messages that I cannot reply to quickly is appreciated.

Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following:

Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page.
Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end.
Please specify a descriptive subject or headline for a new topic and separate subtopics by ===heading=== lines, if needed.
Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply.

I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply.

Tip of the day...

Lead Section Size

The lead section of a Wikipedia article is the section before the first heading. The table of contents, if displayed, generally appears between the lead section and the first subheading.

Rule of thumb: If a topic deserves a heading or subheading, then it deserves short mention in the lead.

The lead section should contain up to four paragraphs, depending on the length of the article, and should provide a preview of the main points the article will make, summarizing the primary reasons the subject matter is interesting or notable. The lead should be capable of standing alone as a concise overview of the article, should be written in a clear and accessible style, should be carefully sourced like the rest of the text, and should encourage the reader to want to read more. The following table has some general guidelines for the length of the lead section:

< 15,000 characters	medium size	> 30,000 characters
one or two paragraphs	two or three paragraphs	three or four paragraphs

New page patrol school

Hello @Cassiopeia, I have noticed the growing backlog in New pages patrol and would like to apply for New page reviewer rights. Before submitting my application, I would appreciate training in this subject. My primary focus has been on improving existing articles through copyediting and adding verifiable references to those lacking sources. Additionally, I have created articles to support mainspace pages and highlight specific subjects independently. I would be obliged if you could kindly assist me in gaining the necessary knowledge and training in this area. Please let me know if you would be willing to help. Thank you.

@Cassiopeia: Hello, and thank you for your response. I have been contributing to Wikipedia since 2015, though intermittently. I would like to inform you that I have completed the WP:TWA programme, as recommended. However, I have removed all the badges recived during the module from my user page. You can verify this through the following revision. Please note that, although the final badge is numbered 15, there are only 14 in total, as badge number 8 appears to be unavailable. I would be grateful if you could kindly set up the NPPS programme if the above is in order. Thank you. QEnigma (talk) 11:09, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Merychippus (17:59, 21 November 2024)

Hello. You are my assigned Wikipedia mentor. I've been working on a draft of a short article — would you be able to give some feedback? --Merychippus (talk) 17:59, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merychippus Good day and thank you for the question. I believeTHIS is your article which you are working on. First of all, pls note that for a subject to have a page in Wikipedia, the subject needs to pass Wikipedia WP:GNG criteria which means the subject needs to have significant coverage by independent, reliable sources where by the subject is talked about in depth and in length and not merely passing mentioned for verification. Pls read Help:Your first article to understand in more detail on how to write an article and also pls transfer your content to "Draft" space instead of your sub page - see Wikipedia:Drafts. To add inline citation - pls see Template:Cite web and Template:Cite book for sources from the web and books respectively. (note you need to provide the page number for books source). Your source here-1 is just the info of the book which does not support the content of your draft article and your second source - here-2 is only partially state the poem (primary source) - we need secondary reliable source for such both can not be used to contribute to the notability guidelines. Stay safe and best. Cassiopeia talk 20:29, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
