Hello, welcome to your New Page Patrol School page! Please make sure you have this page added to your watchlist. Your NPP School page has been specifically designed according to you and what you have requested instruction in - for that reason, please be as specific as possible when under my instruction, so that I know the best ways to help you (and do not be afraid to let me know if you think something isn't working).
Make sure you read through Wikipedia:Notability as that's the knowledge which most of the questions I ask you and tasks you do will revolve around.
This page will be built up over your time in the School, with new sections being added as you complete old ones. Each section will end with a task, written in bold type - this might just ask a question, or it might require you to go and do something. You can answer a question by typing the answer below the task; if you have to do something, you will need to provide diffs to demonstrate that you have completed the task. Some sections will have more than one task, sometimes additional tasks may be added to a section as you complete them. Please always sign your responses to tasks as you would on a talk page.
PART 1
In your own words, how is notability defined on Wikipedia?
Would step by step instructions on how to "Change a car tire" be considered a notable topic in Wikipedia? Why or why not?
What are the differences between the WP:GNG and the subject-specific notability guidelines? How do we determine which one to use when patrolling an article?
1. Please categorize the subject-specific notability guidelines (listed at WP:SNG) into the following three categories
Primarily additional criteria that are likely to indicate notability
|
Primarily additional considerations that define or restrict the nature of coverage or sources required
|
Even mix of the previous two categories
|
2. Virtually all SNGs that provide additional notability criteria specify that these criteria may indicate that the subject meets notability guidelines. How would you interpret this caveat when evaluating an article as a new page reviewer?
- As a NPP, I would accept the article if SNGs are met(with coverage of the article in reputable and reliable resources), but if there is no coverage in any of the reliable/reputable sources then I wouldn't accept the article even if the SNGs are met. Angus1986 ( talk) 13:27, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
For scenarios 1-6 review just based on "subject notability guidelines" (SNG) "alone" for sake of the exercise. Do not consider any sources or other policies. Please answer if the subject meets the SNG guidelines based on the given content below, and specify which notability criteria they meet or fail.
An editor creates an article about "2024 Summer Olympics" in 2020 without providing any sources, is the subject considered not notable and why?
- It doesn't meet SNG because there are no sources mentioned, as mentioned earlier in the previous questions asked by you, for an article to be considered notable there must be reliable sources. Angus1986 ( talk) 16:24, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
A New York city based 2020 start up software company , specializing in data mining, has just received a USD 200K investor fund.
- Just this scenario doesn't meet SNG! If this covered in reliable sources like in Wall Street Journal or New York Post, along with more publications about this startup(not just limited to this particular scenario) then it would meet Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). Angus1986 ( talk) 16:24, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
Movsar Evloev who is a Ultimate Fighting Championships fighters with the undefeated mixed martial arts record of 12-0.
- Yes, he meets the SNG for Wikipedia:WikiProject Mixed martial arts/MMA notability(this was a sub-topic in Wikipedia:Notability (sports); because he fought 3 professional fights for UFC and holds an excellent record of 12-0. Angus1986 ( talk) 16:24, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
An upcoming action drama title "Suleiman the Great" based on the the life of Suleiman the Magnificent, which will be in production in August 2020 and to be released on March 2021 in the cinemas.
- No, doesn't meet SNG because according to Wikipedia:Planned films#Coverage of planned films just being in pre-production doesn't make it notable enough, it must first enter principal photography until then it is just an "idea" or a "concept". Angus1986 ( talk) 16:24, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
A political candidate, without any previous or current political position, who is running for November 2020 election for a Senator position in United States with multiple local newspaper coverage of his candidacy.
- No, doesn't meet SNG because as per Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Politicians and judges just running for candidacy doesn't automatically make the person notable, however if the political candidate meets GNG then he would be considered notable. Angus1986 ( talk) 16:24, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
A singer who self produced his first album in May 2019 and his songs are listed in Spotify.
- No, doesn't meet SNG as the singer fails Wikipedia:Notability (music) Angus1986 ( talk) 16:24, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
For scenarios 7-11 specify which SNGs would establish the subject's notability.
Alright Angus1986, you're flying through these. Next up is the section on analyzing sources. signed, Rosguill talk 17:42, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
Topic | Definition | 5 Examples | Comment by Trainer |
---|---|---|---|
Reliable source | It is a source which has been there in existence for a long time, and written by people who are regarded as well known journalists in their own forte. Like the Guardian newspaper is well known for a long time, and known to produce legit, non-paid, and non-biased news articles. So, to sum it up, this type of source follows a strict publication process(to ensure credibility) and written by a well know journalist/author. |
|
, while having a long history can help establish a publication's reliability, it's not a guarantee of reliability (for instance, the Daily Mail is also over 100 years old but is not reliable). On the other hand, relatively new sources can be reliable provided that they have clearly established professional editorial staff and policies. Reliability is also situational: more sensitive or controversial subjects require stronger sources. For instance, on an article about a rock album, simply having a professional editorial board will usually be sufficient for establishing notability. For an article about an ethnicity or a recent military conflict, even well-known newspapers may not be considered reliable enough. Bear in mind that journalistic sources are not the only kind of reliable source, and peer-reviewed academic publications are generally considered to be more reliable than journalism. Our strictest reliability policies are for medical-related claims ( WP:MEDRS), where nothing less than secondary peer-reviewed sources qualify. |
User generated sources | Self-published |
|
, although note that blogs or vanity press books by authors without relevant, verifiable expertise on the subject matter fall in this category as well, it's not just social networks. |
Non Independent source | Source which doesn't show attribution and shows Conflict of interest |
|
, most of these examples are on point, but Fox News would probably still be considered to be independent from Trump (although they are now considered unreliable when it comes to political reporting, see WP:RSP). Independence also needs to factor in the nature of the content, not just the publisher. For instance, in a Q&A interview, any information cited to the interviewee is non-independent, even if the publication is otherwise reliable and independent. Information provided about the interviewee in the publication's voice, however, would be considered independent. |
Type | Definition | Examples (15 Primary ; 5 Secondary ; 5 Tertiary) | Comment by Trainer |
---|---|---|---|
Primary | Written by people who are directly involved |
|
this is mostly correct, but your definition should be widened to include the reporting of data without further analysis, even if it's by published by an independent source. The distinction between a primary and secondary source is that a secondary source brings additional independent analysis. Primary sources may include analysis that is not independent, or they may lack analysis despite being independent. Additionally, the primary/secondary/tertiary character of a source is always assessed with respect to specific claims, and many sources will contain a mix of primary and secondary coverage. I'm fairly certain that Mein Kampf, for instance, contains analysis (albeit bad analysis), and would not be primary with respect to certain claims (although it would be unreliable). It would be primary with respect to claims about Nazi ideology or Adolf Hitler's life (although likely still largely unreliable). |
Secondary | Not directly related to the topic, derived from the primary sources. |
|
, Rotten Tomatoes is actually an example of a tertiary source, as it is a database that collects information from secondary source. IMDb is crowdsourced and thus is a mix of different types of information, but at its best it's also a tertiary source (and its database format is typical of tertiary sources). As I stated in the previous section, questions about the nature of a source always need to be evaluated in the context of a specific claim. ESPN and New Scientist do primarily publish secondary coverage, but box scores from ESPN would be primary, and interviews in either publication would likely include a mix of primary and secondary information. |
Tertiary | Derived from the secondary source, also can be labelled as a compilation for secondary or primary sources |
|
I think you get the general gist, but the Guinness Book of World records is often a primary source, as they establish and confirm records themselves. Ripley's Believe It or Not is not reliable, and includes fabricated information, although I guess you could argue that it presents itself as a tertiary source. |

Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer, and educator. Wright believed in designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. His creative period spanned more than 70 years. He works includes The Guggenheim, swirling, snail-shaped museum in the middle of Manhattan. [1] [2] Fallingwater, which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture." [3] This is one of Wright's most famous private residences (completed 1937), was built for Mr. and Mrs. Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., at Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Constructed over a 30-foot waterfall, it was designed according to Wright's desire to place the occupants close to the natural surroundings. The house was intended to be more of a family getaway, rather than a live-in home. [4]

Describe the steps you should take when assessing whether an unfamiliar source is reliable.
i) Questionable ii) Self-published iii) Sponsored iv) User-generated content (example: IMDB, Forbes contributor articles) If it is in any of the aforementioned 4 categories then I wouldn't consider it as a reliable source (with an exception for the criterias as described in WP:SELFSOURCE)
Without consulting any existing Wikipedia consensuses, such as those listed at WP:RSP, WP:NPPSG or WP:RSN, assess whether the following sources are reliable. You may refer to Wikipedia articles for the publications if they exist. Be specific as to how and why you came to your conclusions. Sources are often reliable for some content and unreliable for other content: identify what sorts of articles may have reliable and unreliable coverage from a given source, and consider using examples from their website to illustrate your points. Feel free to offer topic-scoped assessments such as "likely reliable for claims related to pop culture" or "reliable for non-political subject matter". For sources in languages that you can't read, please use Google Translate to evaluate the source to the best of your ability.

Hannibal Barca was a Carthaginian general and statesman who is widely considered one of the greatest military commanders in history. His father, Hamilcar Barca, was a leading Carthaginian commander during the First Punic War (264–241 BC). [1] [2] [3]
References
Answer: Yes, it should be changed. In the references, they refer to him as just Hannibal. So it should be changed to Hannibal, it is the Wikipedia's policy for common name, also known as WP:COMMONNAME, it is also the reason why PewDiePie's Wikipedia page is PewDiePie instead of Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg because the majority of the references mention him as PewDiePie. If another person with the same name exists, let's take this question, for example, there are other people who are known as Hannibal, so there should be a disambiguation page as per WP:DAB amd also for users who might search him by his full name, it is better to add a redirect as per WP:R under his full name. (the same can be applied to PewDiePie redirect for his full name). QuantumRealm ( meow • pawtrack) 16:59, 16 May 2021 (UTC)

WP:DUE and in your own words, please explain why it is important to provide balance and due weight content in an article.
Answer: Due weight is what the reliable sources mostly talk about the subject, so widely held views should be given more importance than undue weight which is minority views. Like for example if a subject X is covered in several reliable sources as accomplishing ABC, then that is a due weight to be given to the article, if other not so reliable sources cover the subject X as accomplishing XYZ, this would be undue weight and shouldn't be given that much of an importance.

The editors on Wikipedia may or may not have proper knowledge of a subject/topic, in order to avoid false or biased information, editors must refrain adding original research content into Wikipedia articles. Any content that is written on Wikipedia articles must be verifiable, if original research is added, then we cannot verify it. For example, if person X witnessed an accident of a celebrity M, then person X should refrain from adding any information which they have witnessed unless that information is covered by independent and reliable sources.

14. In your own words, please provide one example with an explanation when it is appropriate to insert an original content or synthesis in an article.
Answer: When you say original content, do you mean copy-pasting original content from the sources directly? It might lead to copyright violation, but if it is a quote of a person from a reliable independent source then we can include that original content in the article. Also, any of the content which is copyright-free and in the public domain can be used as well. QuantumRealm ( meow • pawtrack) 06:38, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
15. See this video and write an article paragraph that properly presents claims supported by the source. Assume that Alsuleiman's opinions are DUE for inclusion as part of this response.
Answer: When asked whether it is allowed for women to wear jeans and trousers outside the home according to Islam, Sh. Shady Alsuleiman responded that Islam demands the clothes of both men and women, be baggy, non-see-through, and non-colorful, so it isn't permissible to wear jeans and trousers as they don't fit into the aforementioned conditions.

For each of the following, state whether the prompt is an example of original research, as well as your reasoning
1. An editor writes a new article about an album. The entirety of the "Reception" section is just "According to Pitchfork" followed by a direct quote from a review in Pitchfork.
2. Source A in an article about Green Wugs states that 70% of green wugs have a checkerboard pattern in their feathers. Source B states that green wugs with checkerboard patterns have a high incidence of sickle cell anemia. An editor writes in the article 70% of green wugs have checkerboard patterns in their feathers and sickle cell anemia
and cites both sources
3. Source A in an article about Green Wugs states that 70% of green wugs have a checkerboard pattern in their feathers. Source B states that all green wugs with checkerboard patterns have sickle cell anemia. An editor writes in the article 70% of green wugs have checkerboard patterns in their feathers and sickle cell anemia
and cites both sources
4. In an article about Human rights in South Asia by country, almost all of the sources specifically analyze one country at a time. An editor writes a lead that summarizes the information in the article, including phrases such as roughly half of the countries in South Asia allow for the use of the death penalty
and Most countries in South Asia developed their modern legal codes based off of British colonial law
.
5. In a review for a song, the editor includes an analysis of the song's lyrics and their meanings that are cited to Genius (website)
6. In an article titled International reactions to the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian Territories, an editor creates a map based on the information in the article where countries are colored in based on their public stances on the issue. These stances are individually supported by citations in the article's text, but no map is cited.
7. In an article about a company, Source A says that in 2018, the company made $100k in revenue selling Product X. Source B says that in 2018, the company made $200k selling Product Y. An editor writes in the article In 2018, the company made $300k in revenue from selling products X and Y
.
8. In an article about the Climate of South America, a source provides measurements in Celsius. An editor converts the measurements to Fahrenheit in the article.

Hello, welcome to your New Page Patrol School page! Please make sure you have this page added to your watchlist. Your NPP School page has been specifically designed according to you and what you have requested instruction in - for that reason, please be as specific as possible when under my instruction, so that I know the best ways to help you (and do not be afraid to let me know if you think something isn't working).
Make sure you read through Wikipedia:Notability as that's the knowledge which most of the questions I ask you and tasks you do will revolve around.
This page will be built up over your time in the School, with new sections being added as you complete old ones. Each section will end with a task, written in bold type - this might just ask a question, or it might require you to go and do something. You can answer a question by typing the answer below the task; if you have to do something, you will need to provide diffs to demonstrate that you have completed the task. Some sections will have more than one task, sometimes additional tasks may be added to a section as you complete them. Please always sign your responses to tasks as you would on a talk page.
PART 1
In your own words, how is notability defined on Wikipedia?
Would step by step instructions on how to "Change a car tire" be considered a notable topic in Wikipedia? Why or why not?
What are the differences between the WP:GNG and the subject-specific notability guidelines? How do we determine which one to use when patrolling an article?
1. Please categorize the subject-specific notability guidelines (listed at WP:SNG) into the following three categories
Primarily additional criteria that are likely to indicate notability
|
Primarily additional considerations that define or restrict the nature of coverage or sources required
|
Even mix of the previous two categories
|
2. Virtually all SNGs that provide additional notability criteria specify that these criteria may indicate that the subject meets notability guidelines. How would you interpret this caveat when evaluating an article as a new page reviewer?
- As a NPP, I would accept the article if SNGs are met(with coverage of the article in reputable and reliable resources), but if there is no coverage in any of the reliable/reputable sources then I wouldn't accept the article even if the SNGs are met. Angus1986 ( talk) 13:27, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
For scenarios 1-6 review just based on "subject notability guidelines" (SNG) "alone" for sake of the exercise. Do not consider any sources or other policies. Please answer if the subject meets the SNG guidelines based on the given content below, and specify which notability criteria they meet or fail.
An editor creates an article about "2024 Summer Olympics" in 2020 without providing any sources, is the subject considered not notable and why?
- It doesn't meet SNG because there are no sources mentioned, as mentioned earlier in the previous questions asked by you, for an article to be considered notable there must be reliable sources. Angus1986 ( talk) 16:24, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
A New York city based 2020 start up software company , specializing in data mining, has just received a USD 200K investor fund.
- Just this scenario doesn't meet SNG! If this covered in reliable sources like in Wall Street Journal or New York Post, along with more publications about this startup(not just limited to this particular scenario) then it would meet Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). Angus1986 ( talk) 16:24, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
Movsar Evloev who is a Ultimate Fighting Championships fighters with the undefeated mixed martial arts record of 12-0.
- Yes, he meets the SNG for Wikipedia:WikiProject Mixed martial arts/MMA notability(this was a sub-topic in Wikipedia:Notability (sports); because he fought 3 professional fights for UFC and holds an excellent record of 12-0. Angus1986 ( talk) 16:24, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
An upcoming action drama title "Suleiman the Great" based on the the life of Suleiman the Magnificent, which will be in production in August 2020 and to be released on March 2021 in the cinemas.
- No, doesn't meet SNG because according to Wikipedia:Planned films#Coverage of planned films just being in pre-production doesn't make it notable enough, it must first enter principal photography until then it is just an "idea" or a "concept". Angus1986 ( talk) 16:24, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
A political candidate, without any previous or current political position, who is running for November 2020 election for a Senator position in United States with multiple local newspaper coverage of his candidacy.
- No, doesn't meet SNG because as per Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Politicians and judges just running for candidacy doesn't automatically make the person notable, however if the political candidate meets GNG then he would be considered notable. Angus1986 ( talk) 16:24, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
A singer who self produced his first album in May 2019 and his songs are listed in Spotify.
- No, doesn't meet SNG as the singer fails Wikipedia:Notability (music) Angus1986 ( talk) 16:24, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
For scenarios 7-11 specify which SNGs would establish the subject's notability.
Alright Angus1986, you're flying through these. Next up is the section on analyzing sources. signed, Rosguill talk 17:42, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
Topic | Definition | 5 Examples | Comment by Trainer |
---|---|---|---|
Reliable source | It is a source which has been there in existence for a long time, and written by people who are regarded as well known journalists in their own forte. Like the Guardian newspaper is well known for a long time, and known to produce legit, non-paid, and non-biased news articles. So, to sum it up, this type of source follows a strict publication process(to ensure credibility) and written by a well know journalist/author. |
|
, while having a long history can help establish a publication's reliability, it's not a guarantee of reliability (for instance, the Daily Mail is also over 100 years old but is not reliable). On the other hand, relatively new sources can be reliable provided that they have clearly established professional editorial staff and policies. Reliability is also situational: more sensitive or controversial subjects require stronger sources. For instance, on an article about a rock album, simply having a professional editorial board will usually be sufficient for establishing notability. For an article about an ethnicity or a recent military conflict, even well-known newspapers may not be considered reliable enough. Bear in mind that journalistic sources are not the only kind of reliable source, and peer-reviewed academic publications are generally considered to be more reliable than journalism. Our strictest reliability policies are for medical-related claims ( WP:MEDRS), where nothing less than secondary peer-reviewed sources qualify. |
User generated sources | Self-published |
|
, although note that blogs or vanity press books by authors without relevant, verifiable expertise on the subject matter fall in this category as well, it's not just social networks. |
Non Independent source | Source which doesn't show attribution and shows Conflict of interest |
|
, most of these examples are on point, but Fox News would probably still be considered to be independent from Trump (although they are now considered unreliable when it comes to political reporting, see WP:RSP). Independence also needs to factor in the nature of the content, not just the publisher. For instance, in a Q&A interview, any information cited to the interviewee is non-independent, even if the publication is otherwise reliable and independent. Information provided about the interviewee in the publication's voice, however, would be considered independent. |
Type | Definition | Examples (15 Primary ; 5 Secondary ; 5 Tertiary) | Comment by Trainer |
---|---|---|---|
Primary | Written by people who are directly involved |
|
this is mostly correct, but your definition should be widened to include the reporting of data without further analysis, even if it's by published by an independent source. The distinction between a primary and secondary source is that a secondary source brings additional independent analysis. Primary sources may include analysis that is not independent, or they may lack analysis despite being independent. Additionally, the primary/secondary/tertiary character of a source is always assessed with respect to specific claims, and many sources will contain a mix of primary and secondary coverage. I'm fairly certain that Mein Kampf, for instance, contains analysis (albeit bad analysis), and would not be primary with respect to certain claims (although it would be unreliable). It would be primary with respect to claims about Nazi ideology or Adolf Hitler's life (although likely still largely unreliable). |
Secondary | Not directly related to the topic, derived from the primary sources. |
|
, Rotten Tomatoes is actually an example of a tertiary source, as it is a database that collects information from secondary source. IMDb is crowdsourced and thus is a mix of different types of information, but at its best it's also a tertiary source (and its database format is typical of tertiary sources). As I stated in the previous section, questions about the nature of a source always need to be evaluated in the context of a specific claim. ESPN and New Scientist do primarily publish secondary coverage, but box scores from ESPN would be primary, and interviews in either publication would likely include a mix of primary and secondary information. |
Tertiary | Derived from the secondary source, also can be labelled as a compilation for secondary or primary sources |
|
I think you get the general gist, but the Guinness Book of World records is often a primary source, as they establish and confirm records themselves. Ripley's Believe It or Not is not reliable, and includes fabricated information, although I guess you could argue that it presents itself as a tertiary source. |

Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 – April 9, 1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer, and educator. Wright believed in designing structures that were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture. His creative period spanned more than 70 years. He works includes The Guggenheim, swirling, snail-shaped museum in the middle of Manhattan. [1] [2] Fallingwater, which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture." [3] This is one of Wright's most famous private residences (completed 1937), was built for Mr. and Mrs. Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., at Mill Run, Pennsylvania. Constructed over a 30-foot waterfall, it was designed according to Wright's desire to place the occupants close to the natural surroundings. The house was intended to be more of a family getaway, rather than a live-in home. [4]

Describe the steps you should take when assessing whether an unfamiliar source is reliable.
i) Questionable ii) Self-published iii) Sponsored iv) User-generated content (example: IMDB, Forbes contributor articles) If it is in any of the aforementioned 4 categories then I wouldn't consider it as a reliable source (with an exception for the criterias as described in WP:SELFSOURCE)
Without consulting any existing Wikipedia consensuses, such as those listed at WP:RSP, WP:NPPSG or WP:RSN, assess whether the following sources are reliable. You may refer to Wikipedia articles for the publications if they exist. Be specific as to how and why you came to your conclusions. Sources are often reliable for some content and unreliable for other content: identify what sorts of articles may have reliable and unreliable coverage from a given source, and consider using examples from their website to illustrate your points. Feel free to offer topic-scoped assessments such as "likely reliable for claims related to pop culture" or "reliable for non-political subject matter". For sources in languages that you can't read, please use Google Translate to evaluate the source to the best of your ability.

Please read WP:TITLE and answer the questions below
1. Article name "Hannibal Barca" - Does the article name need to be change? and Why? (please explain based on Wikipedia guidelines and name/link the guidelines in your answer)
Hannibal Barca was a Carthaginian general and statesman who is widely considered one of the greatest military commanders in history. His father, Hamilcar Barca, was a leading Carthaginian commander during the First Punic War (264–241 BC). [1] [2] [3]
References
Answer: Yes, it should be changed. In the references, they refer to him as just Hannibal. So it should be changed to Hannibal, it is the Wikipedia's policy for common name, also known as WP:COMMONNAME, it is also the reason why PewDiePie's Wikipedia page is PewDiePie instead of Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg because the majority of the references mention him as PewDiePie. If another person with the same name exists, let's take this question, for example, there are other people who are known as Hannibal, so there should be a disambiguation page as per WP:DAB amd also for users who might search him by his full name, it is better to add a redirect as per WP:R under his full name. (the same can be applied to PewDiePie redirect for his full name). QuantumRealm ( meow • pawtrack) 16:59, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
2. Article name "Magic Johnson". Does the article name need to be change? and Why?(please explain based on Wikipedia guidelines and name/link the guidelines in your answer)

Answer: No, because all the sources cite him as Magic Johnson, so it should not be changed. But there should a redirect for his actual name

12. Please read
WP:DUE and in your own words, please explain why it is important to provide balance and due weight content in an article.
Answer: Due weight is what the reliable sources mostly talk about the subject, so widely held views should be given more importance than undue weight which is minority views. Like for example if a subject X is covered in several reliable sources as accomplishing ABC, then that is a due weight to be given to the article, if other not so reliable sources cover the subject X as accomplishing XYZ, this would be undue weight and shouldn't be given that much of an importance.

Please read WP:OR and WP:NOT and answer the questions below
13. In your own words, why is Wikipedia not a platform for publishing original research?
Answer: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. We only include content that is covered by several reliable and independent sources. The editors on Wikipedia may or may not have proper knowledge of a subject/topic, in order to avoid false or biased information, editors must refrain adding original research content into Wikipedia articles. Any content that is written on Wikipedia articles must be verifiable, if original research is added, then we cannot verify it. For example, if person X witnessed an accident of a celebrity M, then person X should refrain from adding any information which they have witnessed unless that information is covered by independent and reliable sources.

14. In your own words, please provide one example with an explanation when it is appropriate to insert an original content or synthesis in an article.
Answer: When you say original content, do you mean copy-pasting original content from the sources directly? It might lead to copyright violation, but if it is a quote of a person from a reliable independent source then we can include that original content in the article. Also, any of the content which is copyright-free and in the public domain can be used as well. QuantumRealm ( meow • pawtrack) 06:38, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Answer: When asked whether it is allowed for women to wear jeans and trousers outside the home according to Islam, Sh. Shady Alsuleiman responded that Islam demands the clothes of both men and women, be baggy, non-see-through, and non-colorful, so it isn't permissible to wear jeans and trousers as they don't fit into the aforementioned conditions.

2. Source A in an article about Green Wugs states that 70% of green wugs have a checkerboard pattern in their feathers. Source B states that green wugs with checkerboard patterns have a high incidence of sickle cell anemia. An editor writes in the article 70% of green wugs have checkerboard patterns in their feathers and sickle cell anemia
and cites both sources

and Most countries in South Asia developed their modern legal codes based off of British colonial law
.
5. In a review for a song, the editor includes an analysis of the song's lyrics and their meanings that are cited to Genius (website)

These stances are individually supported by citations in the article's text, but no map is cited.
7. In an article about a company, Source A says that in 2018, the company made $100k in revenue selling Product X. Source B says that in 2018, the company made $200k selling Product Y. An editor writes in the article In 2018, the company made $300k in revenue from selling products X and Y
.
8. In an article about the Climate of South America, a source provides measurements in Celsius. An editor converts the measurements to Fahrenheit in the article.
