Welcome![edit]

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Need your help for Gaga's wiki![edit]

Could you please do the Bloody Mary English page please? It exists in other languages but not English yet and I can't do it since it won't translate as I rarely make English wikis. JulienSorel1965 (talk) 16:42, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

June 2023[edit]

Hello, I'm Squared.Circle.Boxing. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Amen Thompson, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Sources in the article say their middle name is pronounced "excellence". – ².O.^Boxing 19:21, 25 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Gérard Mordillat (August 13)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by S0091 was:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Most of the content is unsourced and strongly suggest trimming his work to only list the most notable. Also blogs are not reliable sources and other sources are brief mentions so not useful for establishing notability (see WP:NBIO).

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Gérard Mordillat and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Source for pronunciation of state names[edit]

I see that you've been adding pronunciations for state names, but I don't see that you've been adding sources. If you have a source, why not add it for each entry. If no source is available, how do we know that the pronunciation is correct? Alansohn (talk) 17:57, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have added sources. Bananah20 (talk) 16:49, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation of Melbourne[edit]

Hello there

The "r" in Melbourne isn't pronounced in Australian English.

Thank you Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 03:34, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Australian English is non-rhotic. The "r" is still there just not pronounced because of the dialect's phonology. Americans still pronounce it since they speak a rhotic dialect. For clarity, the "r" should be in the pronunciation guide. Brits expect Americans to pronounce the r sounds in York or Liverpool. It's the same thing. The pronunciation guide conventions on Wikipedia include writing them with rs and having non-rhotic speakers pronounce phonemes like /ər/ as they natively would ([ə], etc.). If I'm missing something like the reduced vowel in "Melbourne" not being /ər/, please let me know. I did some reading, and as far as I can tell, it is.

April 2024[edit]

Hi Bananah20! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Thank you. Nardog (talk) 22:23, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
