HI I want to create a new wikipedia article. Can you guide me on this? --Chendahewa (talk) 15:59, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! I recommend reading Help:Your first article, but I'll summarize what you have to know here. Firstly, you should make sure that your article's subject is notable as Wikipedia uses that term—that is to say, if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic. You should make sure that any sources you use are reliable, so you can't use tabloids, blogs, other wikis, or Wikipedia itself, to verify the contents of your article. After you've done that, you can check out the Article wizard and follow the instructions there. JJP_Master (she/they) 16:06, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see your Huggle's YouTube video. Nice to meet you! :-) Vitorperrut555 (talk) 19:18, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nice to meet you! Nice Linux you have on YouTube! ;) Vitorperrut555 (talk) 19:27, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello JJPMaster, the username of your bot account violates WP:BOTACC. Please have the account renamed to something that clearly identifies it as a bot. You can tell me the new username here, and I can rename it for you, or you can request the change through the username venues. – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:49, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Although it's not approved and running yet, you filed a BRFA, so if you plan to run this in the future, this should be helpful. – DreamRimmer (talk) 11:52, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DreamRimmer, sorry about that. I must have thought that "Machine" would be clear enough for that policy's sake, but it appears I was mistaken. I think "JJPMaster (bot)" would be the clearest alternative. — JJP_Master (she/they) 15:18, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Just to confirm, would you like me to rename it to JJPMaster (bot)? – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:23, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DreamRimmer, correct. — JJP_Master (she/they) 15:23, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Renamed. Thanks for your kind response and confirmation. – DreamRimmer (talk) 15:27, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I recently started the journey to my roots with the help of AfricanAncestry.com who certified the paternal lineage in my DNA to be in Burkina Faso and of the Bissa ethnic group. I am a Mass Communication - Radio, TV, and Film (major)/ Journalism (minor) and I work in my field of study. I am going to tell my family's story and I need some direction on where to start. I have me (Point A), and I have this DNA information leading to Burkina Faso and possibly an actual Family Reunion with the person/ people who are my family in Burkina Faso walking around with the "same" DNA as me (Point Z). I want to get from Point A to Point Z. Can you help me? --Isiko Muhammad El (talk) 18:50, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Isiko Muhammad El: Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Unfortunately, I do not believe that your idea would be a good fit for Wikipedia, as Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a family genealogy website. However, there are plenty of websites where you can do this, such as Ancestry.com, MyHeritage, and FamilySearch. I suggest that you head there for any genealogy needs. Thank you! JJP_Master (she/they) 18:55, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply.

I understand. I came here because much of my geographical and general cultural research information will most likely come from Wikipedia. The genealogy aspects of this journey will start with whatever information my dad and uncles have which I will use to build as much of the family tree as possible opening up that many options for tracing. I came to Wikipedia because some of the finest researchers are found right here and my family and I - being that we are African Americans - do not have too many resources that we can tap to help get the ball rolling outside of the sources you have named. While we already have several profiles on Ancestry.com, none of them have produced any ripe fruit yet and it's been years that we've had these accounts. Now that we have a certified root in the ground in Africa, we have a destination. I plan to produce a journalistic piece from myself back to Africa, a story that is pretty dynamic.

What I am looking for help with is how these stories are built and how to include sources, such as those found on Wikipedia.

I hope what's in my mind is coming out on this form in a way that conveys what I need... Isiko Muhammad El (talk) 19:14, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Isiko Muhammad El: If you are interested in learning how to use Wikipedia as a source, I suggest reading Wikipedia:Researching with Wikipedia. You could also ask for help on the reference desk, which is our place for asking general questions. However, my job is mainly to help people in editing Wikipedia, not reading it, so I may not be the best of help here. JJP_Master (she/they) 03:11, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
