Hi! Thanks a lot for the warm welcome and resources. Bagwe Neza (talk) 11:42, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Echoing @Shirt58‘s note @Bagwe Neza. Had a quick scan of your contributions to see if there was anything I could help with. You’ve done a lot of great work. Please keep on-especially these underrepresented subjects. Star Mississippi 16:08, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you@Star Mississippi, for taking the time to look through my contributions. I really appreciate the encouragement. Bagwe Neza (talk) 16:15, 29 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Bagwe Neza. Thank you for adding short descriptions to articles. Please remember to add birth and death dates when adding short descriptions to articles about people, per WP:SDDATES. Toadspike [Talk] 09:23, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Toadspike, I will be sure to include them going forward. Thank you. Bagwe Neza (talk) 05:20, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Bagwe Neza. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia’s mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a “black hat” practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Bagwe Neza. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Bagwe Neza|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. asilvering (talk) 21:22, 8 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Asilvering. I am not being compensated for my edits and do not have a stake in promoting any topics. Please can you advise on what I am doing wrong so I could not cross that line again. Bagwe Neza (talk) 04:26, 9 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, how are you —Mahmood8 (talk) 10:51, 20 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Mahmood8, I am doing fine. How can I help you here? Bagwe Neza (talk) 15:32, 20 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am good. I want to know that, I just wrote an Article, and published it. But, still cannot find when searching. Why is that ? Mahmood8 (talk) 00:12, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Mahmood8, welcome!

Could you please share the article title or a link to the page so I can take a look and understand the situation further? Bagwe Neza (talk) 05:37, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

here , this one. Mahmood8 (talk) 05:47, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Mahmood8,

You just created it in wrong place. That is on your Talkpage which is only for discussions.

Since you’re just starting out, the best way to learn how to create articles is to read and follow these guides:

Notability guidelines: WP:N
Using reliable sources: WP:RS
Practicing in your sandbox: WP:SANDBOX
Drafting and submitting new articles: WP:AFC

Following these will give you a solid foundation. Thanks Bagwe Neza (talk) 06:09, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ohh right, i got it. But, i want to ask, that, where is that specific page/button where we can post an article ? Thanks for the above guidelines though. Mahmood8 (talk) 06:14, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mahmood8, the usual way is to draft your article in your sandbox first: WP:SANDBOX. Once your draft is ready, you submit it through Articles for Creation: WP:AFC using Article Wizard.

Hello —AISHIGH BENJAMIN (talk) 19:21, 20 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @AISHIGH BENJAMIN, how are you?. How can I help you here? Bagwe Neza (talk) 05:38, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

hello bagwe, you seem very experienced and pretty awestacular (hint hint) but is it possible for me to have carlos abayi as my wikipedia mentor? again you seem pretty cool but yk —Evies70 (talk) 20:07, 20 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi@Evies70, thanks.

Mentors are assigned automatically, however, if you know the username Carlos is using, you can reach out directly on their talk page. I’m also happy to help with any questions anytime. Bagwe Neza (talk) 05:46, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

oh also could i start my own wikipedia article thing or do i only get to edit things? —Evies70 (talk) 20:08, 20 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again@Evies70, New editors are encouraged to edit existing articles first to get familiar with Wikipedia. But if you feel confident, you can start drafting your article in your sandbox, and once it’s ready, submit it through Articles for Creation (WP:AFC).
