Question from MatheusOCC (17:32, 10 August 2026)

Hi, I noticed you are my mentor. I started writing a article long ago but I didn't got how wring works on wikipedia articles, so I left it. I tried again this time, but I couldn't figure a way to access it on edit mode yet. --MatheusOCC (talk) 17:32, 10 August 2026 (UTC)

Good article nominations RfC

Hi UndercoverClassicist,

There is an ongoing Request for Comment (RfC) at Wikipedia:Good article nominations/August 2026 RfC, which you may be interested in because in the past year, you have nominated or reviewed more than one good article nomination. This message has also been sent to all subscribers to the Good Article Gazette. The RfC contains many proposals (33 at the time of writing), which are split into the following categories: nominators, reviewers, reviews, volunteer roles, reviewing initiatives, and others. However, you are more than welcome to add any proposals of your own that you wish to put to the community.

By the end of September, all the proposals will have been closed by an uninvolved editor, either as a consensus for one of the options or with no consensus. At this point, editors will be invited again to develop these proposals into coherent policy and implement them.

Thank you for your contributions to the good articles project, and I look forward to your input! (in solidarity), JacobTheRox^{(talk|contributions)} 16:03, 11 August 2026 (UTC)

DYK for Epano Phournos tholos

On 13 August 2026, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Epano Phournos tholos, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Epano Phournos tholos tomb appears to have been robbed during the Late Bronze Age, only a few centuries after it was built? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Epano Phournos tholos. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (Epano Phournos tholos), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to nominate it.

Question from Mathworkofpast (06:52, 25 August 2026)

Hello, mentor how are you. I can’t edit every page such as the maths page can you please make a proper editor. --Mathworkofpast (talk) 06:52, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

Hello! Many pages, such as Mathematics, have some level of editing protection, so that they cannot be edited by new editors. The most common (and the one in use here) is semi-protection, which means that the article can only be edited by users whose accounts:

• Are at least 4 days old, and
• Have at least 10 edits on English Wikipedia.

Articles are normally semi-protected because there has been a lot of disruption or vandalism to them from new or unregistered users, or to prevent sockpuppets of blocked or banned users from editing; it's particularly common for biographies of living persons who have had a recent high level of media interest. Even when you are experienced enough to edit them directly, it's usually good practice to suggest major edits (that is, bigger than e.g. a typo correction) on the article's Talk page first, since the text of a major article will have been worked on and agreed by many people over a long time, and may have been given the stamp of approval at a quality-assurance process like Good Article Nominations or Featured Article Candidates.

If your account doesn't meet the criteria to edit directly, you can can request edits to a semi-protected page by proposing them on its talk page, using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. UndercoverClassicist ^T·C 08:09, 25 August 2026 (UTC)

I have more than 10 edits and I have been here for 4 days. Can you please check how long I’ve been so I can be an owaome editor that is a pro like you. Mathworkofpast (talk) 08:23, 25 August 2026 (UTC)
