Hi relativity[edit]
Hi! My name is Starsplitterfanfare, and I might have one (or two) questions to ask. Ok 1. How do you edit semi protected articles? because I tried to edit one and it said that there was an error. 2. Does my name violate the username policy, because my username is pretty lengthy, If it does, I will request to change it. thank you for listening, bye! Starsplitterfanfare~enwiki (talk) 17:04, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Starsplitterfanfare~enwiki: Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! For your first question, semi-protected articles can only be edited once a user has been on Wikipedia for four days and made ten edits— also being called confirmed. See Wikipedia:Rough guide to semi-protection. You have made more than ten edits, but you haven't been here for four days, which is the problem. For your second question, no, it does not. Having a long username is not preferable since it can be confusing to other editors (see WP:UNCONF), but your username is fine. Cheers, and let me know if you have any further questions Relativity ⚡️ 17:17, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Other successful proposals, such as creating a reminder of civility norms (2), will undergo further refinement in Phase II. Proposals passed on a trial basis will be discussed in Phase II, after their trials conclude. Further details on specific proposals can be found in the full report.
Technical news

Arbitration
- The arbitration case Conflict of interest management has been closed.
Miscellaneous
- This may be a good time to reach out to potential nominees to ask if they would consider an RfA.

Adoption[edit]
Hello! Are you willing to adopt me through the Adopt-A-User program? I would like to learn about counter-vandalism and maybe NPP. I'm also interested in just learning how to edit Wikipedia better in general, too. I hope you're having a nice day! GoldRomean (talk) 02:53, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
Question from Thulaninalaofficial (14:57, 3 May 2024)[edit]
How to add a template please --Thulaninalaofficial (talk) 14:57, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Thulaninalaofficial: See Help:Template, or Help:A quick guide to templates. On that note, your username may violate the username policy. Usernames can't be promotional, as yours seems to be. They also can't imply shared use. We definitely want you to help edit Wikipedia constructively, and so you probably should change your username. See WP:CHU. If you're planning to edit articles relating to your company, you must follow the paid contribution disclosure. Anyways, cheers, and let me know if you have any further questions.
