Dear Dr. Andreas Buller, Thank you very much for your interest in and contribution to the Kazakh Wikipedia. My name is Amangeldi Mukhamejan, and I am an administrator of the Kazakh Wikipedia. We truly appreciate your willingness to share high-quality content with our community. I will personally review your article in the coming days, and if it meets the notability requirements, it will be moved to the main namespace. Please note that the presence of an article in other language Wikipedias is not, by itself, a guarantee of notability in Kazakh Wikipedia.
Regarding your suggestions: 1. Use of the Incubator and edit filters These measures are not in place because articles lack reliable sources, but because new contributors may not yet be familiar with Wikipedia’s formatting and writing standards. The Incubator allows new users to gain experience by working with existing articles and learning the guidelines before creating new ones. 2. 100-edit requirement This requirement exists precisely because of situations like this: many new contributors are not yet familiar with Wikipedia’s processes. The 100-edit threshold encourages them to work on improving existing articles and learning the rules before creating new pages. This is a consensus decision of the Kazakh Wikipedia community and does not conflict with any Wikimedia policies. 3. Participation in discussions New users are not prohibited from posting on talk pages or requesting help directly – as you have already done in the Kazakh Wikipedia. You contacted one administrator, and while they were unable to reply within four days, this does not mean that no one responds. 4. Guidance for new contributors Instructional pages for new authors in Kazakh already exist, with links provided on the main page of the Kazakh Wikipedia. There is no need to create similar guidance pages in Russian, as this is not the Russian Wikipedia. For Russian-language assistance, there is Wikipedia:Embassy. Once again, we are grateful for your effort to contribute, and we hope you will continue participating in the Kazakh Wikipedia community. Sincerely, Amangeldi Mukhamejan _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list -- [email protected], guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l Public archives at https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/[email protected]/message/PNJLHUVJXLRBQRMHXJD2SAZLDA4UYBJA/ To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
