Question from Jaeger D. Fuchs (00:23, 7 November 2022)

Hello LEvalyn,

My name is Jaeger and I have a question. Is there any possible way I can recommend an article to be review by someone more experienced? I was just editing an article (this article to be exact https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Persecution_of_Germans&action=view), and I felt like I was not qualified to make any major changes to the article. I recommenced the articled to be supervised, but that is all I know how to do so far. Perhaps you could look at it? That is all.

Thank you and good day,

Hello Jaeger, and welcome to wikipedia! There isn't really a formal process for referring an article "up the chain", since Wikipedia is a non-hierarchical community. However, if you'd like to find editors to help with addressing an article's shortcomings, WikiProjects often gather editors around shared interests and might be a place to find expertise. It looks like this is an article of longstanding controversy, so I see why you don't want to go it alone. You might get some traction starting a discussion at Wikiproject Germany. I know that the Military History wikiproject is very active, though this may not fall under their purview. Wikiproject Discrimination may be relevant, but perhaps not active. You could also try directly tagging editors who have worked on the article in the past, to ask questions about what might improve the article in future.

As a tip for starting those discussions, if your post something like 'hey does somebody else want to deal with this?' you're likely to get a lot of silence. But, if you can identify some things you like to propose -- like removing all unsourced content, or organizing the information into different categories -- you might be able to build consensus toward taking those actions by making the suggestion in on the article's talk page and then asking people at those wikiprojects to weigh in. In general, removing all unsourced content can be a shocking disruption to an article, but often a very necessary and reinvigorating one. The more controversial a topic, the more relevant quality sourcing is.

Frankly, when I look at this article, I see a rat's nest that I don't really want to poke with a ten foot pole... if you were to make improvements they would be valuable but I understand your hesitation. Good luck!! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 19:02, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Question from Ebunvuwa (15:04, 27 November 2022)

Greetings and nice to be here. How do I start editing a text? --Ebunvuwa (talk) 15:04, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello Ebunvuwa, welcome to wikipedia and sorry for the slow response -- any wikipedia article you have will have the clickable text "edit source" which will let you start to make changes. The "edit source" link is at the top-right of the page as a whole, and it also appears next to each individual section. You may find this tutorial helpful in learning the ropes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Introduction . Happy editing! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 18:48, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Question from SirMeChase (18:36, 14 December 2022)

Hello I want to know how I can be more successful in my music career --SirMeChase (talk) 18:36, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

SirMeChase, this is probably something you should ask a successful musician, and not a Wikipedian who writes articles about eighteenth-century poetry. All I can tell you is that Wikipedia can't help, since only musicians who are already highly successful meet the criteria for Wikipedia articles. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 18:45, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Question from SirMeChase (23:04, 14 December 2022)

I figured out that I am the only Sirmechase on google and the meaning of Sirme when I checked it. It talked about me entirely because I posses all the definitions it gave me in myself. Why is that? --SirMeChase (talk) 23:04, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Question from UMNF (08:31, 9 February 2023)

Thank you for having me in Wikipedia , it is great honor to participate , I am a PhD researcher and I am in bad need for references and articles concerning my subject it is tackling Equal Authenticity in legal texts. if you thankfully have references I'd be thankful and grateful. --UMNF (talk) 08:31, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello @UMNF: I think you have misunderstood the kinds of questions I am here to answer -- I am here to help people contribute to Wikipedia itself, not to help people research other topics. I think you will have more luck asking for help at your university library. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 20:59, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Though I should say-- if you learn interesting things after you get going with your research, I hope you will consider enhancing Wikipedia's articles on those topics with the sources you find, and I am here to help troubleshoot if you encounter any difficulty at that stage! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 21:00, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Question from Puffer belly (20:35, 15 February 2023)

Hi LEvalyn, re: Talk:North American railroad signaling. There seems to be a lack of a focus point of this article. If there is enough information to warrant it standing alone, perhaps altering the title to: "North American railroad signal systems" Photographs identifying railroad signals and signs as well as other items referencing this technology in history. If my input has any merit & you would you redirect my inquiry, I would appreciate it. Thanks --Puffer belly (talk) 20:35, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

Hello @Puffer belly: welcome to Wikipedia! You raise a very interesting question about this article, though one which is beyond my expertise. I do wonder if the relationship between North American railroad signaling and North American railroad signals, as articles, could be rethought. It sounds like you have some real expertise on this topic. If you want to reorganize the information in these articles, or introduce new sections and details (with citations), that is something you can be bold and change in whatever way you think is an improvement! Often, there are very obvious improvements that can be made, but haven't been simply because no one has taken an interest in doing it. Your contributions would be very welcome. If you think it would help to rename or merge the articles, for that kind of change you'd want to get some consensus from other editors. In both cases, I suggest bringing your ideas to the Talk page of the train Wikiproject, where I think you will find editors interested in the same topic. I hope that helps, and feel free to ask any time if you encounter more questions as you edit! ~ L 🌸 (talk) 20:56, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
