Hello Thegooduser, I would like to be interviewed for the TheWikiWizard. If you want someone else to interview, I think another ideal candidate for interviewing would be ToBeFree although if he doesn't want to, he may decline. Please message me with your thoughts. Interstellarity (talk) 18:14, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. I just learned about the existence of TWW. Interstellarity is probably a good interview candidate indeed. At any time in the future, feel free to post interview questions on my talk page; I'll probably answer them happily. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:31, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Interstellarity, ToBeFree. Hey Guys! ZLEA has volunteered to be interviewed in September, but the good news is that I can do one of you guys in October and one in December, if you guys want! --Thegooduser Life Begins With a Smile :) 🍁 00:13, 3 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I cited in a comment what i think are the three best sources to prove notability. Could you take a look? Sorry to bother but It's been over a month since I sent the submission. Thanks!Kriptocurrency (talk) 14:37, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

The point of the babel boxes is to indicate written proficiency, since Wikipedia is a written medium. You can, of course, put up whatever user boxes you like, including ones you create for yourself. — jmcgnh^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:49, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This tip is one of the many ways to combat spam on Wikipedia:

• On Wikipedia, articles either meet the General Notability Guideline or not. When you come across a new article, it is extremely important to determine if it is a real article, or just a spam article. Start with a search on Google, for reliable sources, if you get none in return, then look at the article for non-NPOV content, also scan the references section in the article to see what sources it uses, and check the 'other languages' section and Wikidata to see if it is on other Wikipedias. If other Wikipedias have the same content and/or a CSD or AfD tag (WP:AFD) it is likely spam or not notable, so you can then nominate it for deletion to get input, remember that CSD criterion does not always apply to these articles depending on the content/contex. Also remember to check for copyright violations via earwig's
