Hello I want to add my biography here --Ibrahim Mohammed Babbuli (talk) 09:14, 8 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey Ibrahim Mohammed Babbuli, welcome to Wikipedia! Ixtal has been away from editing for a little while, so I'm happy to help instead. Writing an autobiography is highly discouraged on Wikipedia, as it introduces an unavoidable conflict of interest between you and the article. Please note that all Wikipedia articles must be supported by citations to reliable sources, be free of original research, and be written in a neutral point of view. If you are willing to abide by these policies and genuinely believe that you pass the notability guideline for people, create a draft and submit it to Articles for creation, where a reviewer will provide feedback and create the article when ready. Let me know if you have any other questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:51, 8 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello! I was looking up a book series that I love, and when I read the plot on Wikipedia for the first book, it was wildly different than the book. If it's a big edit like that, how does that work? It would take an entirely new write up to fix the errors that the current plot description has. Thank you for your help! --DannyBearDW (talk) 00:28, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey DannyBearDW, and welcome to Wikipedia! Ixtal has not edited in some time now, so you may want to ask your question at the Teahouse, where experienced editors will be able to help you out. I'm happy to help if you have any other questions. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 00:41, 11 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

ARamadan-WMF, as this is the first time I translate something, I'm not sure whether to mark it ready or not. — ♠ Ixtal ^{( T / C )} ⁂ Sign up for the 2024 DCWC! — Non nobis solum ♠ 19:43, 3 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Ixtal,

Thank you so much for your effort! It's fine, it doesn't need to be fully translated, and there's no need to mark it for translation again.

I'll send it on Monday. Thanks again! ARamadan-WMF (talk) 14:49, 4 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
