Hello, do you know how to comment on pages? I don't know how. Thank you! 😄 --WolfKid99 (talk) 14:44, 6 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi WolfKid99. Each page has a corresponding Talk page where editors discuss development of the article. The Talk page is accessible at the top of the page, look for the Talk tab. WP:TALK describes how to best use these pages. ~Kvng (talk) 15:15, 6 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

How do I publish the edits I made? --Kenn Ellner (talk) 16:58, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I made edits to an existing article regarding myself and my band correcting inaccuracies and adding additional facts in legacy. I am first hand knowledge that can be substantiated by my band mates. The edits were considered disruptive and vandalism and were rejected. They clearly were not. What can you do to assist me in correcting the article to reflect what is factually correct? --Kenn Ellner (talk) 20:01, 7 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kenn Ellner. I guess I don't need to answer your previous question. I've answered this one at User_talk:Kenn_Ellner#Reply. Please continue the discussion there. ~Kvng (talk) 15:17, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Your feedback is requested at Talk:British Airways data breach on a "Engineering and technology" Good Article nomination. Thank you for helping out!

Hello Kvng! I saw your reply to Kenn's question I really don't understand why myself a source about myself and my band isn't considered a reliable source especially when I'm making factual corrections. ... on their talk page: ... Your recollections are considered a primary source and despite the fact that you were there and all, surprisingly, we don't consider this a reliable source of information., but for their use for correcting basic facts, isn't this allowed by WP:SELFSOURCE (if their recollection is published)? Xzkdeng (talk) 16:13, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Well, never say never, but there is a list of 5 conditions there that all need to be met for this to be allowed and then Use of self-sourced material should be minimal; the great majority of any article must be drawn from independent sources. In his case, we haven't cleared hurdle 0 of demonstrating that any of this was published. It is based on recollection as I understand it. ~Kvng (talk) 16:45, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. Xzkdeng (talk) 16:49, 8 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Where should I find things for citations

Sincerely,

Henry10FC Henry10FC (talk) 21:13, 10 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Henry10FC. It is not clear to me what you're asking. There is a lot of different things to discuss about citations. What specifically do you need help with. WP:CITE is probably the most general page about it. ~Kvng (talk) 23:42, 10 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

If I were to add a citation, where would a reputable source for the citation be Henry10FC (talk) 13:22, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Henry10FC, Here's a list of sources assessed by Wikipedia editors. ~Kvng (talk) 16:20, 11 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I've never actually used Wikipedia other than without an account. Can you explain how to actually create and edit pages? --VoyagerEnhanced (talk) 01:56, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @VoyagerEnhanced, it is best to start by editing existing pages. You can do that with or without an account simply by clicking the edit button at the top right of each page. WP:EFAQ is probably a good place to start for detailed instructions. ~Kvng (talk) 16:28, 13 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, nice to meet you :) I’m new to Wikipedia in the sense of editing/writing. I made an account because I thought it could be fun to write a Wiki page about my band, maybe get some new eyes, something of that sort I guess (we’re not well known outside of our local community.) I was just wondering if there’s a particular way I should write out information, or what I’d even do to cite a source considering I myself am the source lol. Any tips at all I greatly appreciate :) --MonkeJam (talk) 02:01, 20 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @MonkeJam, sorry to be the bearer of bad news here so early in our relationship but our blanket recommendation for projects like this is, don't. You have a conflict of interest and if you write this article, you will need to use the articles for creation review process to get it published. Since you say the band is currently only of local interest, I expect you will have trouble meeting our music notability requirements.

Another blanket recommendation we frequently give is that it is typically better and easier to get started with Wikipedia editing and writing by improving existing articles. Are there any other subjects that interest you? ~Kvng (talk) 15:28, 20 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Ahhh okay that’s totally understandable, thanks anyway :). As for other topics that interest me; evidently music related subjects, political/social issues, and gaming industry would be my top 3 MonkeJam (talk) 16:19, 20 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe start by having a look at these Wiki projects then: WP:WPMUSIC, WP:WPVG, WP:POLITICS, WP:SOCIOLOGY ~Kvng (talk) 16:48, 20 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kvng,

I hope you are doing well. I’ve identified your experience with Articles for Creation and technology-related Wikipedia topics.

I am exploring an AfC draft for an article on Trinnov Audio, a French audio technology manufacturer with independent coverage in sources such as Sound On Sound, Recording Magazine, CE Pro, and audioXpress.

Furthermore, I have a professional connection to the company and want to proceed fully in accordance with WP:COI and related policies, drafting in sandbox/AfC rather than directly to mainspace.

Would you be open to advising or assisting with:

• Assessing notability and source strength
• Draft structure for an AfC submission
• Guidance on COI-compliant wording

If you accept COI-aware paid or pro-bono work, I’d appreciate understanding your approach, timeline, and any expectations.

Thank you for your time.

Best regards,

Benoit Benoitmunoz (talk) 01:04, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Benoitmunoz. Yes, I can help. It doesn't look like you've started the draft yet. ~Kvng (talk) 15:04, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kvng,

Thank you for your response; I truly appreciate your willingness to help.

I have not yet started the draft because I wanted to confirm notability and approach first. I can begin by preparing a sandbox draft structured in a neutral, encyclopedic format based on independent sources (Sound On Sound, Recording Magazine, CE Pro, audioXpress, EISA, etc.).

Before drafting, would you recommend:

• Beginning with a short, source-based skeleton (lead + history + references),

or

• Compiling a full source list for preliminary review?

I intend to proceed carefully and in full compliance with WP:COI and AfC requirements.

Thank you again.

Benoit Benoitmunoz (talk) 16:02, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Benoitmunoz, lets start by identifying WP:THREE good sources you plan to use. ~Kvng (talk) 16:13, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kvng,

Thank you. Based on independent editorial coverage, three sources I was planning to rely on include:

1. Sound On Sound – review of the Trinnov Nova (in-depth editorial coverage of the company’s monitoring and optimization technology).

2. Recording Magazine – feature/review discussing Trinnov’s technology and product positioning.

3. CE Pro – independent reporting on the release and broader context of WaveForming technology.

All are independent publications with editorial oversight rather than press-release reposts. I’m happy to refine this selection if you feel different sources would better establish notability under WP:GNG. Benoitmunoz (talk) 17:00, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Those look good as far as I can see. Do you have URLs for any of these? ~Kvng (talk) 17:32, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, of course

https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/trinnov-nova

https://www.recordingmag.com/resources/featured-reviews/december-2025-trinnov-nova/

https://www.cepro.com/news/trinnov-waveforming-now-publicly-available/140688/ Benoitmunoz (talk) 19:12, 21 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

These look adequate but not bulletproof. You're intending to write an article about the company but the bulk of the coverage here is about the company's products. I say it is adequate because there is some background on the company in the sources and there is an argument to be made that notable products justify an article about the company (there is also an argument to the contrary). ~Kvng (talk) 16:16, 22 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kvng,

Thank you, that’s very helpful

I understand the distinction regarding product-focused coverage versus company-level coverage. Before proceeding further, I’d appreciate your view on what types of additional sourcing would meaningfully strengthen the case and reduce deletion risk.

Would deeper company-focused features, broader business press coverage, or academic/industry analysis referencing the company materially improve defensibility?

I would prefer to approach this conservatively rather than push something marginal. Benoitmunoz (talk) 17:24, 22 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I just did a Google News search for Trinnov to try to give you an example. While I didn't find anything golden in the first couple pages of results, there is an abundance of options far beyond the first three you suggested here. I actually think it would be hard to get a Trinnov article deleted in this context. ~Kvng (talk) 17:47, 22 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, that’s reassuring and very helpful.

In that case, I would be interested in proceeding cautiously with a structured draft through AfC, ensuring the article is weighted toward company history and independent coverage rather than product detail.

Would you recommend beginning with a formal notability/source outline before drafting, or proceeding directly to a sandbox draft for review? Benoitmunoz (talk) 17:51, 22 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

When you create the draft, we can copy relevant sections of this discussion to the talk page of the draft (Draft talk:Trinnov, I assume) so it is available to AfC reviewers as background. ~Kvng (talk) 18:04, 22 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you; that sounds like a sensible approach.

I’ll prepare a draft in Draft:Trinnov with a conservative structure and neutral weighting, and we can copy relevant portions of this discussion to the draft talk page for transparency.

I appreciate your guidance throughout this process. Benoitmunoz (talk) 18:16, 22 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

One other tip: keep it short, WP:STUBBY even. It is easier for reviewers to find a reason to decline a longer draft. Other editors will help improve and enlarge it once it is published. ~Kvng (talk) 21:47, 22 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, yes, I have tried to keep it as short as possible

Draft:Trinnov Audio Benoitmunoz (talk) 05:08, 23 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Great. One more thing, you do need to formally WP:DISCLOSE your conflict of interest. ~Kvng (talk) 15:10, 23 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I’ve added a formal disclosure on my user page per WP:DISCLOSE. Benoitmunoz (talk) 22:18, 23 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

How can i add an image --Sergio gauci gauci (talk) 00:14, 24 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Sergio gauci gauci. Help:Pictures is probably the best place to start. You have to separately upload then add an image to a page. ~Kvng (talk) 00:17, 24 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed a major error in the Krav Maga piece. It was a spelling error. Is there any way that I can get the credit added to my private history? I love Krav Maga. --Johnthefriendlyghost (talk) 20:49, 26 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Johnthefriendlyghost, most everything is public on Wikipedia. The only edit credited for your account so far is this post on my talk page (see [1]). It looks like you made the spelling correction anonymously before creating or signing in to your account (see [2]). Maneuver and manoeuvre are both legitimate spellings BTW (see [3]). ~Kvng (talk) 21:36, 26 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. Bummer. I was so stoked I thought I did something there. Thanks for the reply! Johnthefriendlyghost (talk) 20:24, 27 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
