Question from Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar (17:15, 28 August 2024)

Today, I created an article on Wikipedia titled 'Soft Power of India in Africa'—link: http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Soft_power_of_India_in_Africa.

I have made some improvements, and I would appreciate your feedback. Do you think any further modifications are needed? If so, please let me know your suggestions. --Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar (talk) 17:15, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think it makes more sense as a subsection of Africa–India relations, which already exists. I suggest merging some content over to the pre-existing page and converting yours into a redirect. —Ganesha811 (talk) 18:22, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar (09:49, 30 August 2024)

I have finally managed to eliminate the orphan article status with the indirect guidance from your message. But the article still carries the following notice:

"This article contains text that is written in a promotional tone. Please help improve it by removing promotional language and inappropriate external links, and by adding encyclopedic text written from a neutral point of view."

Link: http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Soft_power_of_India_in_Africa

Notably, in response to this issue, I have already made every effort to remove the promotional tone from the article, but failed. So, finally I'm seeking advice on how to address the feedback that my article contains promotional language. Could you suggest specific strategies to revise the text for neutrality and improve its overall quality? --Mohammed Shahidullah-Bin-Anwar (talk) 09:49, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As I mentioned above, I would recommend merging this content into Africa-India relations, which already exists. This new article seems duplicative of some of the content in that one. —Ganesha811 (talk) 14:10, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Women in Green's October 2024 edit-a-thon

Hello Ganesha811:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2024!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2024, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

Question from Shafaq Farooqi (14:03, 26 September 2024)

Hi, I have properly added all sources. What else can I do to get my Wikipedia profile approved? --Shafaq Farooqi (talk) 14:03, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I presume you're referring to the draft article you started? I should caution you that writing an article about yourself is strongly discouraged by Wikipedia's rules. If you have any connection with Fasih Ur Rehman, you need to disclose that. —Ganesha811 (talk) 15:11, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
