All images have mouse-over popups with more information. For more information about the columns and categories, please consult the documentation and please get in touch on SuggestBot's talk page with any questions you might have.

Question from I'm the CB (14:06, 11 May 2022)
Sir, What are the steps to submit a new article written. Please tell me the steps by making arrow network. e.g. A>B>D>... --I'm the CB (talk) 14:06, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- I'm the CB, hi and welcome! It looks like you found out how to submit your draft while I was away, but if you still need me to explain, feel free to let me know. Thanks :) --Ferien (talk) 17:54, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
Sir, I have forgotten, how did I do? Please explain the steps sir ~I'm the CB Thank you:) I'm the CB (talk) 05:59, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
- @I'm the CB: You can work on an article in the draft namespace. You can start a new one by going to Wikipedia:Article wizard
- -> Once you are done with editing that draft and think it meets Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, you can press "Submit your draft for review!"
- -> Your article will be reviewed, although it may take several weeks.
- -> If your draft is accepted, an AfC (Articles for Creation) reviewer will move it to article space for you. If your draft is declined, advice will be given on how to improve your draft article - although sometimes it cannot be improved, for example, if the article already exists in Wikipedia.
- -> (If your draft is declined) Once you have improved your article, you can submit it again using "Submit your draft for review!" It may be accepted or declined again.
- Feel free to let me know if you need any more help and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks :) --Ferien (talk) 22:43, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
Question from Hyperpress (05:31, 12 May 2022)
Hello Friend,
I'm trying to make a wikipedia page and I'm building it in my sandbox to test things out before migrating to an actual page. I have discovered wikidata pages and read that when you make a wikipedia page, a wikidata page is generated automatically.
Is it possible to create a wikidata page that is connected to my sandbox? --Hyperpress (talk) 05:31, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
Sorry, autocorrect, hello Ferien 😁 Hyperpress (talk) 05:34, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hello Hyperpress and welcome to Wikipedia! With Wikidata items, I wouldn't recommend connecting one or creating one to connect to your sandbox, no Wikidata item seems to exist that is connected to a sandbox so I imagine that it's not allowed. Feel free to let me know if you need any help. Thanks, :) --Ferien (talk) 17:58, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks Ferien. About footnotes, are we allowed any percentage of references back to the original source? e.g. microsoft referencing its own site? Hyperpress (talk) 05:52, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hello Hyperpress, this page shows you when primary sources - for example sources written by people directly involved - are appropriate. Also for pings, you can use {{u|User}} (User being user you want to ping) or {{ping|User}}. You can also press the 5th button above the text you are writing when you are using the new Reply function. There was no need to ping me here as I already get a notification as your message is on my talk page, but it doesn't give me an extra notification. Thanks, :) --Ferien (talk) 16:12, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hi, how do i get a better logo image? the one up on draft:runecast is a bad color scheme for a light background.
- i contacted the company, they are willing to give me a file/image to use, but not willing to release the rights. Hyperpress (talk) 17:26, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hyperpress, have you asked them whether they are willing to have the logo uploaded to Wikipedia? --Ferien (talk) 15:14, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- yes, they are willing. but the way i understand it, they must release the rights to the image...no? is there an option that allows them to upload it to wikipedia and still retain the rights? Hyperpress (talk) 16:57, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hyperpress, it depends on whether free content can be used, whether using the image would be considered fair use as well as other things. As I am not an expert on copyright, I think you would probably be better off reading this page about non-free content, as I don't want to give you incorrect information.

Question from Mejiaanayeli (05:39, 12 May 2022)
How do I start a article Wikipedia myself? --Mejiaanayeli (talk) 05:39, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
- Mejiaanayeli, hello and welcome! Once you are done creating the article in your sandbox, just press "Submit your draft for review!" --Ferien (talk) 15:58, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
