Hello, Actually I have a question..What to mention in user page? --Freezone77 (talk) 06:18, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
- Greetings, Freezone77!
- I see a few things regularly on people's user pages. People will often mention what kind of areas they enjoy editing -- whether it is astronomy, art, geography or behind-the-scenes activities. Often, users will add links to the articles that they have worked heavily on. -- Dolotta (talk) 11:53, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

- @\Kurdball88: The article you have been working on, Draft:Kurdball88, will likely not become a full fledged article due to notability issues. That being said, if the page review section of your global notification preferences is checked, you should be notified when an article is reviewed. -- Dolotta (talk) 23:11, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
