Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following:

Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page.
Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end.
Please specify a descriptive "Subject/headline" for a new topic and separate subtopics by ===heading=== lines, if needed.
Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply.

I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply.

CVUA[edit]

Hi, I have been spending some time at RC patrol and I am interested in enrolling in the CVUA. Cheers, GoldRomean (talk) 16:40, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

GoldRomean Good day and thank you for interested in joining CVUA. Pls note that the program do require you to spend time on reading the guidelines (reading material/guidelines links) and working on the assignments (10 assignment and 1 final exam). Most editors take about 3 months to complete the program. Pls note that there is no time limit to complete the complete as every editor works on the assignments on their own pace. With the info above and if you are still interested in joining the program, then pls let me know and I will set up the program for you. Stay safe and best.

GoldRomean, I have set up the program for you. Pls read the message on the "communication section" at the end of the assignment prior start answering the questions.

Question from April Glaser-Hinder on User:April Glaser-Hinder/Sample page (03:00, 4 June 2024)[edit]

Hi Cassiopeia

I'm trying to help 96 year old April Glaser-Hinder, an internationally recognised artist, winner of first prize in the 13th Biennale Internazionale Dantesca in Ravenna in 1998, whose works are now owned by a number of Australian art galleries, including the National Gallery of Victoria (https://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/explore/collection/artist/35764/). . She is the niece of Australian artists Frank Hinder (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Hinder) and Margel Hinder (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margel_Hinder).

It seems I started on the wrong foot with Wikipedia last night while helping April create an email address and then trying to create a Wikipedia account with her. April was unaware of Wikipedia. She has no internet at home and spends her time organising records of her extensive body of work in self-published books, papers, photos and CDs. She's not selling her artwork, which is all now owned by others.

It was therefore my idea, not hers, that she should create her own Wikipedia entry, so it's accurate and complete before she dies and so much knowledge is lost with her. But now reading Wikipedia COI guidelines it seems that will be problematic and maybe I should create the entry under an account I create for me, although it would still be based on the material she makes available to me. The problem now is that my account would be using the same IP address as April.

Any advice you can provide to guide April and I would be appreciated. I've used Wikipedia since its inception but its editing policies are totally new to both of us.

Regards Vicki Tac --April Glaser-Hinder (talk) 03:00, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

April Glaser-Hinder Good day and thank you for the question. May I know what is your relation with April? Cassiopeia talk 03:05, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I became April's friend two years ago when I moved nearby. Her immediate family are all dead, including her first and second husbands. She has no children, but she has a good relationship with the family of her deceased sister's deceased husband. I have their agreement to try to create a Wikipedia entry for her. April Glaser-Hinder (talk) 06:09, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I will try to create an account under my name, with my email address, so it's clear who's editing. But will I be blocked now that my IP address is also being used by April? April Glaser-Hinder (talk) 06:32, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) @April Glaser-Hinder Not usually. The sole reasons why you may be blocked in regards to April is if you don't follow our spam, COI, sockpuppetry, or meatpuppetry policies. Cass, if you have any more reasons, feel free to add, those are the ones I can think of. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 00:31, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

April Glaser-Hinder See below:

1. WP:COI - since you are a friend of Hinder, that means you have a COI/conflict of interest. We do not an editor to write an article of the subject you have a COI with.

2. WP:PRIMARY - since you have a COI with Hinder, and your info of Hinder is from Hinder herself, that means your source is primary which can NOT be used to contribute to the WP:GNG criteria which we would accept the article in Wikipedia.

3. You can use the same IP address (such as 3 members of a family using the same IP address via wifi), but you can use the Wikipedia account of other editor (such as little brother using big sister Wikipedia account) as that would considered sock puppet and you will be blocked indefinitely for violating the guidelines. If you are doing so, I suggest you to STOP it IMMEDIATELY.

4. To have an article in Wikipedia, the subject need to pass the WP:GNG guidelines, which means the subject needs to be have significant coverage by independent, reliable sources where by the the sources talk about the subject in length and in dept and not passing mention for verification.

Question from Wbergsman on Draft:Bergsmanwriter (21:48, 5 June 2024)[edit]

Hi. Some of my citations were photos, i.e., of a birth certificate, newspaper article. How do I insert those? --Wbergsman (talk) 21:48, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wbergsman, Good day and thank you for your questions. Since your user name is Wbergsman, may I know is Bergsmanwriter is related to you? Cassiopeia talk 05:35, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Bergsmanwriter is my husband. But, he hasn't used that in a long time. Where did that name turn up. 72.195.196.251 (talk) 15:37, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that you are logged out. Please be careful to avoid logged-out editing, it may be confused with sockpuppetry. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 15:44, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My husband says bergsmanwriter may not be him, because he never joined Wiki before. . Maybe there is another Bergsman who is a writer. Wbergsman (talk) 23:28, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Bergsmanwriter is my husband. But, he hasn't used that in a long time. Where did that name turn up? Wbergsman (talk) 16:01, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it seemed the problem with the "entry" I was working on was the pictures in the citations. I redid all the footnotes so there it is only text, no pictures. When can I re-post the new version? Wbergsman (talk) 16:04, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wbergsman It is difficult to help you when we dont have the URL of the info you mentioned "the entry on the pictures". If it is not on a URL page when pls details the info so I can help. Secondly, you mentioned on your talk page that you mentioned " because I'm already blocked" - see HBoldERE and if you have previously edited Wikipedia and have been blocked, could you pls provide your blocked user name or your IP address pls. Cassiopeia talk 01:29, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I thought you were the person who blocked me. But, I guess not. I submitted for publication a new entry, eliminating all the photos in the citations. ~ 8 June 2024

Hello how can I post a photo --Lati zeddy (talk) 19:50, 6 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) Hello, @Lati zeddy, and welcome to Wikipedia! It's unclear what you want to do. Do you mean uploading an image to Wikipedia? Please clarify. thetechie@enwiki: ~/talk/ $ 00:18, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from ExponentielUSA (20:38, 7 June 2024)[edit]

I want to establish myself as an authority in a specific domain of business. Can you direct me on how best to do that? --ExponentielUSA (talk) 20:38, 7 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
