Welcome to my talk page! I'm in a pretty busy time of my life right now (yes I'm an actual person), so if you’re a newcomer with a question about editing, you can try the Teahouse for a faster answer.
I archive my talk page pretty regularly, so if you're wondering where a recent conversation went, check the links in the archive box.
Feel free to drop me a message and I'll get back to ya when I can!:)
how do i know that my page is published --Deep1019972025 (talk) 11:41, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
Hello, Deep1019972025! Are you talking about User:Deep1019972025/Sample page? One avenue for publishing an article in mainspace is using the Articles for Creation process. Currently, though, I don't see notability in your draft article–Wikipedia looks for significant coverage from multiple secondary reliable sources, so you'll want to find sources that demonstrate that first. Let me know if you have any further questions, and happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 18:32, 3 November 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I’m trying to get this article published but I can’t seem to figure out the next step. It had been rejected originally and I simplified it since. --YelramI (talk) 00:52, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
Hello and welcome, YelramI! I added back the last submission decline template, which should give you an option to resubmit the article when you're ready. I'd suggest editing it some more though–specifically, you'll want to make sure your references show notability. On Wikipedia, articles–especially those about people–should be based on several reliable sources that are not connected to the subject and have significant coverage of the subject. That's a pretty brief overview, so do let me know if you have any more questions, and happy editing! Perfect4th (talk) 01:23, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
For your recent assistance responding to the request others left on my talk page, I award you the WikiJaguar Award for Excellence in talk page stalking efforts. Ampimd (talk) 18:58, 11 November 2025 (UTC)
Thanks, I appreciate it:) Perfect4th (talk) 19:03, 11 November 2025 (UTC)
Hello! Voting in the 2025 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 1 December 2025. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2025 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:53, 18 November 2025 (UTC)
Question from MessyCreative (13:38, 19 November 2025)
Hello. Im working on a draft and it says the page redirects from another page. I'm not sure how to remove that. --MessyCreative (talk) 13:38, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
Hello, MessyCreative! I'm guessing you're talking about the warning at the top of Draft:ISBM. I wouldn't be concerned about that–it's just to inform reviewers that currently, in the article space, the term 'ISBM' redirects to something else. Should your article be published and a more-used meaning for the term, it can usurp the title; or you can get around the whole problem later by simply disambiguating your draft to 'ISBM (research organization)' or something like that. Regardless, it's not something you have to fix now, and would be easy to do once the draft is ready to publish. Let me know if you have any more questions and happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 15:10, 19 November 2025 (UTC)
هل ساستفيد شيئ --Noaf noaf (talk) 18:47, 21 November 2025 (UTC)
Hello, Noaf noaf! I'm afraid I don't speak Arabic, so you'll have to visit the Arabic Wikipedia for Arabic-language Wikipedia questions in general. Google Translate tried its best, though, so my guess is that your question is "Do you get paid to edit Wikipedia?" and the answer is No. Wikipedia editors are volunteers–we don't generally get paid, we just edit because we like to. Hope this helps! Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 20:46, 21 November 2025 (UTC)
The process will have a seven day call for candidates phase, a two day pause, a five day discussion phase, and a seven day private vote using SecurePoll. Discussion and questions are only allowed on the candidate pages during the discussion phase.
The outcome of this process is identical to making a request for adminship. There is no official difference between an administrator appointed through RFA versus administrator elections.
Ask any questions about the process at the talk page. Later, a user talk message will be sent to official candidates with additional information about the process.
If you are interested in the process, please make sure to watchlist the appropriate pages. A watchlist notice will be added when the discussion phase opens, and again when the voting phase opens.

Hi, Ahmedmohiey5, and welcome! Do you have any questions about editing Wikipedia? Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 16:19, 25 November 2025 (UTC)
Turkey
Buster7 has given you a turkey! Turkeys promote WikiLove and hopefully this has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a turkey, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy Thanksgiving! Buster Seven Talk (UTC) 19:00, 27 November 2025 (UTC)
Spread the goodness of turkey by adding {{subst:Thanksgiving Turkey}} to their talk page with a friendly message.
Well thank you, Buster7, what a lovely and unexpected surprise! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well! Happy editing, Perfect4th (talk) 06:33, 28 November 2025 (UTC)
On December 9, we will start the voting phase. The candidate subpages will close to public questions and discussion, and everyone will have a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's totals during the election. You must be extended confirmed to vote.
Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which typically lasts between a couple days and a week. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (you may want to watchlist this page) and transcluded to the main election page. In order to be granted adminship, a candidate who has not been recalled must have received at least 70.0% support, calculated as Support / (Support + Oppose), and must also have received a minimum of 20 support votes. A candidate that has been recalled must have at least 55.0% support. Because this is a vote and not a consensus, there are no bureaucrat discussions ("crat chats").
Any questions or issues can be asked on the election talk page. Thank you for your participation. Happy electing.

In the voting phase, the candidate subpages close to public questions and discussion, and everyone who qualifies to vote has a week to use the SecurePoll software to vote, which uses a secret ballot. You can see who voted, but not who they voted for. Please note that the vote totals cannot be made public until after voting has ended and as such, it will not be possible for you to see an individual candidate's vote total during the election. The suffrage requirements are similar to those at RFA.
Once voting concludes, we will begin the scrutineering phase, which will last for a few days, perhaps longer. Once everything is certified, the results will be posted on the results page (this is a good page to watchlist), and transcluded to the main election page.
