A wise owl |
Hoary is defined as : #1 white or grey with age #2 ancient and venerable. Worthy associations...so, my wise and venerable friend, I gift you with this beautiful Snowy Owl, who may personify "Hoary". No generic smiles or "wikilove" templates. Just a photograph that I hope you will enjoy, as thanks for your friendly helpfulness.

Your talkpage caveats regarding generic smiles and "wikilove" templates made me chuckle. "Wikilove" is a nice sentiment, but a dreadful name. I couldn't resist the challenge, and will watch your page "avidly". Best wishes! Tribe of Tiger Let's Purrfect! 01:55, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi Hoary!
I hope you are well.
I was wondering whether you could help me with my page ( Draft:The Goblin Club) and get it approved. Any help or advice would be much appreciated! :)
Best wishes,
Hi Hoary, you replied about this file that it warrants "fair use", but violates the " WP:CSD#F7". Let me elaborate details about this file:
I need to request undelete the file, and I am obligated to fulfill its necessity until I completely understand the concept of WP:NFCC#8. The Supermind ( talk) 16:27, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
OK, I removed some stuffs as you mentioned, I really concerned with S.M.I.L.A section. Now I insert some commentary that is independent to original claims. The Supermind ( talk) 08:49, 10 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for your review and comments. Yes, most are articles about the artist in "art magazines" (I think it is better to call them that way), which include text and his works, they are spaces in those publications dedicated exclusively to him. The links that I included in that section are direct to each specific publication, where the artist is mentioned. Unfortunately many of these contents are not online, I have some PDFs about those contents but I understand that it is not appropriate to upload them as images. As for each of these media is less than four pages, I understand that you mean the length of the articles about the artist? if so, I don't see anything wrong with the coverage being 3 or 4 pages. Please let me know if I misinterpreted your comment. Thanks! Cmparma ( talk) 19:11, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
hello sir, i am a new wikipedia user, i am trying to contribute to wikipedia. i am basically from kashmir and i want to contribute to wikipedia with kashmiri notable articles. i have started drafting my first article on a kashmiri entrepreneur and i have checked it multiple times and it looks fine to me now, but since i am new i might be wrong, can you kindly assist and guide me on this article. please see if more information is required or it is enough. i'll be very thankful if you help me with my first article and also help me to publish it to main space.
Link of the draft:- /info/en/?search=Draft:Zeyan_Shafiq
and as you wrote earlier that this person is only notable for kashbook, check refrences he is the founder of india's leading esport organisation as well namely stalwart esports.
Thanks and regards humsar. Hums4r ( talk) 03:04, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
Hello, i happen to know him, but this is not a COI, I have gone through all the articles myself. this is the only reason i want to do article on him, also i am planning to do article mainly on notable kashmiri people. i think people should know about him (He has been very notable in news in 2017 and now with his new startup 'Stalwart Esports' he's making it to news again and thats why i wanted to do it on him,my formatting might be wrong but i am learning it all) and other kashmiri's as well since everyone looks up for information on wikipedia only. i am new to wikipedia and still learning on how to make edits, i was unable to move the article to mainspace and i googled about it and it showed me that you need an old account to move it, so i asked Zeyan if he has an old account and if he can move it, since i didnt know about AfC process, i admit my mistake and apologise for it, i have submitted it through AfC. i'll make sure this doesnt get repeated, and my reason for asking multiple users about the draft was to ask them to review it if there are any mistakes in the article. and i have updated the sources for the pictures as well,kindly check. I am sorry for the earlier incorrect source. i am learning about all the rules of wiki slowly and i look forward to improve things
The reason i am posting this message here as well is to let you know about my response, i dont know if you will get any notification of my response at teahouse question.

A tag has been placed on Category:Journalists killed in Tunisia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Speaking of non-finite clause versus nonfinite phrase, please see my edit here. Does the edit accord with a reputable publication? Yes. Do I stand by the edit? Yes, as it accords with my own lexicon. Will the edit satisfy even 50% of the people who care? Probably not. I'm not holding my breath waiting to see how long to takes before someone reverts the edit. I'll be shocked if the edit stays untouched for an entire week. No, I won't be offended if you get the jump on everyone and revert it yourself. For me, this is a bit like watching linguists who agree on using a decimal numbering system without consensus whether the number that follows 5 should be a 6 or a 9. -- Kent Dominic·(talk) 14:04, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi Hoary, Thank you for your edits on the Playing Angels page! In response to your question about whether or not the statues would be considered cherubs, they're definetely not the sterotypical chubby angel baby type of figures, more athletic and slightly older, so I'm not sure if this would make them cherubs or something else. I'm no expert on angels though, so if you feel that they are free to make that change. Thanks again -- Zthistle2102 ( talk) 07:34, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
As a collector of antique tools, I have had occasion to try my hand with an adze. The best advice I got was "wear shin guards." I also have a railroad spike remover (and a bucket full of railroad spikes rescued from old track that was to be removed for creation of a rail trail), a 13-tine ensilage fork, a "plug drill" used to make holes in granite as prep for splitting, and two ice saws. There is an anecdote about Henry David Thoreau: when a crew showed up at Walden Pond to cut ice, the winter he was living there, he pestered them with so many questions that they asked him if he wanted to man the bottom end of an ice saw.

Hi Hoary! I hope you are well! Thank you for evaluating the draft. You mentioned in the comment that any notable photographer must meet WP:ARTIST criteria for notability. When reading the section on creative professionals' notability, I found this information:
4. “The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.
You definitely have much more experience in this but I wonder whether you can re-evaluate based on the fact that Bartnikas might meet criteria of B) and C) since he won a few photography awards (taking 1st or 2nd places) and therefore was reviewed by significant critical attention? If you check his
sections “Notable Photography Awards” and “Exhibitions” and check the sources, you can see that he is not out of the mill photographer.
Please, let me know if I miss something – I'd be glad to receive your guidance and patronage on Wikipedia guidelines and rules! Here is the link to the draft for your convenience (please, no rush!): /info/en/?search=Draft:Stas_Bartnikas -- Idunnox3 ( talk) 03:06, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

Hoary, your reply is confusing. All the information came from PHD level scholars. It was just formatted as a string to show the evolution of breeding in the Old World, which lasted until about 200 years ago. College Professors have told me people are not ready to be informed yet. Wikipedia needs to get a thread started so you can see the citations and attribute the archeological evidence. Added at 12:40, 14 April 2021 by 173.28.240.153
Hoary, The following statement came from Wikipedia: 'The murderer had a horse waiting, and would have got away, but the foot of his horse caught in a wild vine, and he was thrown from the saddle by the stumble, and slain by his pursuers.' This is fiction from H.G. Wells! 173.28.240.153 ( talk) 13:21, 14 April 2021 (UTC) The passage is from Philip II page. My family has been in America a long time.

Is Wikipedia racist? 173.28.240.153 ( talk) 13:26, 14 April 2021 (UTC) This is another passage from Wikipedia: 'one of the two epic poems attributed to Homer' - Fiction I can list thousands of pages on Wikipedia that uses fiction to tell stories.

Hello H, hope you and yours are well. I am writing in response to a line in your Teahouse comments on the Beretta book. FYI in the last 90 days Mahatma Gandhi wiki article had 18,500 views ... per day. He is a fairly famous person now, and was certainly a fairly globally-prominent person in 1948 (the year of his death). Looking at the Trove digitised Australian historical newspapers, there were some 80 articles published about him before his death on the 30th January, and some 440 for the rest of the year. I acknowledge the intense interest in a former British colony in another British colony (and there had been substantial people and goods travel between the two), but I suggest that in fact many areas of the world were watching the Indian Independence movement and the tactics of its perceived leader, Gandhi.

Some of your responses on Teahouse haven't been very helpful. You should probably take a look at what they're asking and give them the appropriate answer. For example, there's a reference desk for questions not related to Wikipedia specifically and you told someone who asked a question that would've been great there to look it up in their search engine.

Heyyyy I'm not sure if you remember my little crusade against Japanese photographer stub-orphans, but I've come across Shinichiro Kobayashi and Tadayuki Kawahito. Before I drop PRODs on them, can you have a look and let me know if you think they're worth rescuing? ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 05:21, 6 August 2021
Yikes, really sorry, I cleared the original notification with every intention to reply and then forgot all about it :| (I have what is clinically referred to as a goldfish memory). Your edit looks good, thank you for always being willing to look at these for me. I haven't done my usual checks for Kawahito yet, but I will shortly and then go from there. ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 23:55, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
Hey Hoary, finally got a chance to look at Tadayuki Kawahito. Tried his name English and Japanese-style, and the Japanese characters as well, and came up with nothing substantive. I'm going to stick a PROD on it, but obviously I'd be quite happy to see you remove it if you find anything about him that I didn't find. (As for the plagiarism - nothing surprises me in that vein anymore.) ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 06:06, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
I think the general problem is of course that one source is rarely sufficient to keep an article around, no matter the topic. If I'd found even a lick of any other coverage anywhere I wouldn't have put the PROD template. ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 00:36, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
I'm happy to restore it if you're satisfied that he's notable; you're right that it's likely to remain a stub, but so are many other articles, so that shouldn't count against it. The Tokyo Museum exhibition sounds to me like it would roll him past NARTIST no problem. (I realize you're also a mop-wielder and can undelete too but in case you feel you shouldn't for some reason I'm happy to do it.) ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 09:40, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
Lovely old things in a state of elegant decay are my kryptonite, and I do feel a certain affection for Athena. I'm coming off a night shift and don't feel up to it right this second but I should have time over my current block off to have a look :) ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 13:14, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
Looks like it wound up mainspaced before I got a chance to go over it. I didn't find too much more source-wise on a quick search (but I don't speak German so I'm not surprised). Cool article though, I'll keep it on the watchlist and might get back to it in the future. ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 01:36, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
Thank you very much for corrections.
About the need to add more sources, I have found about 15 more sources but unfortunatly many of them are from online but not print press:
I have also found a long and very interesting text about Alex Van Gelder's work with Louise Bourgeois:
Aagje Swinnen (2018) Mumbling Beauty: Louise Bourgeois—portraits of the artist as a much older woman, Feminist Media Studies, 18:1, 122-137, DOI:10.1080/14680777.2018.1409995 [2]
In fact, I don't know what is the better way to use and dispatch those new sources along the article… Perhaps, the good way would be to delete some previous not essential sources and replace them by new ones more relevant?…
I would really appreciate your advice to enrich the article properly in order to make it publishable.
Thank you very much for answer.

Well, I will spend time, next week, to read again all sources that I have collected and try to appreciate which ones are the best ones to prove "notability" of the artist. Then, I will delete those in the draft which are less adequate and add the new ones.

Hey Hoary,Thanks for your edit. Im new to Wikipedia and the Article about the photographer Hanna Putz is my first. Regarding the photo copyright you mentioned, this is a mistake on my side; as Ive got the permission from Mr.Richter to use this image I thought this would be sufficient to use it.However after your comment, implying Mr. Richter write the article (?) I checked and the credit would still read by D. Richter but the Copyrights, he informed me actually lay with VG Bild-Kunst. How can I now delete the old photo with the wrong copyright and/or upload it again with the right copyright?I can't find a way to do this? Iv I upload it again it tells me its a replica of the image Ive used and I can't change the copyright/Credit.Your help would be much appreciated!Thanks, Anno added at 10:44, 22 August 2021 by AnnoYMWD
Ah great thank you! Ill try this! I just wrote to you again as I thought you deleted my message, sorry for this. As I said, Im very new to Wikipedia and still seem to get a lot wrong. Hopefully this will get better. THANK YOU! Ill try and solve the copyright Issue now. Best, Anno AnnoYMWD ( talk) 11:59, 22 August 2021 (UTC) I've nominated the image now for deletion an have uploaded another one in the meantime. I hope this will resolve itself soon, so I can add Richters Collage once more. Regarding the Notification on the draft of possibly Daniel Richter writing this article, how/when will this disappear ?Thank you! Regards, A AnnoYMWD ( talk) 12:39, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
Hey Hoary,I thought uploading a self portrait from her website would be ok to post as I thought that makes it clear a/ where it came from and b/ who owns the copyright, which is obviously Mr.Putz This seems to be wrong aswel.. Maybe you could help me by letting me know what kind of a photo Im allowed to upload or which kind of a permission In which form I would need to be able to upload either the self portrait or the Collage of Mr. Richter? AnnoYMWD ( talk) 12:36, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
I did this as I understood your advice to be not to explain the whole thing as that would make things more complicated (> 'If you think that you can later get explicit permission for the picture to be at Commons, I recommend that you don't mention this: if you do mention it, then your explanation becomes long and complicated. Just have it deleted, and later, work to have it restored, legally)thats why I only wrote that it was a mistake. I can now add: the fact that Im new here and simply made a mistake, the fact that I have the permission to use the photo&collage by Mr.Richter and that I know now that the credit for the photo lies with VG Bildkunst who owns all copyright credits to any work of Mr.Richter. Would that explanation help to have it deleted? I can ofc do that. However Im still not sure I understand what I need to then upload it again to make it a 'Commons'? Thanks!Best A. AnnoYMWD ( talk) 12:36, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
Ok, I think I might have got it now; I would either need a written permission (found the template) by Daniel Richter for the Collage or Hanna Putz for the Self Portrait to use the image on Wikipedia as Commons which basically means to give away all the rights to have this image used and or reproduced for everything by anyone until forever, yes?Or does that mean only on wikipedia? Meaning, this copyright permission doesnt mean that the photo can be used commercially etc. by anyone? This written permission by the original copyright holder I email to the commons email address (ev. together with the bespoke photo) and upload the photo. Correct? Thank you A. AnnoYMWD ( talk) 13:02, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
Hey Hoary, got it, thanks for the explanation! I'll email Mrs. Putz Assistant then again to see if she's willing to give out an Image of hers (she owns the copyright too, in terms of it being a self portrait and not a photo of another photographer) and to sign the permission template I found on wikipedia.I hope I got it right this time and that this will work out.Thanks again,Best AnnoYMWD ( talk) 13:24, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
Hey Hoary, I hope this finds you well. Hannas Page has finally been approved after quite some time, which is great - however it still has that mark on it saying 'A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. This 'problem' was solved by you already so how or when will this finally be removed? Or is there anything else I can do to help have it removed? Thank you! Best, AnnoYMWD ( talk) 19:10, 24 October 2021 (UTC)AnnoYMWD
Hey you two :) Firstly thanks to both of you for your help. As this was my first article, Ive obviously made some mistakes in the beginning..I have to say though that it isnt entirely true that 'there are a lot of references to her own website'. There are references to her website but thats because she has a PRESS section on her website that made it easy for me to have some of the press on her all combined together and not have to go each and every article individually. It initially was also not true that most references are from interviews with her - I did f.e. put in 3 quotes from respected curators (f.e. Susan Bright) talking about Putzs work from various texts which were all deleted (?). However, I generally understand some concerns here. The reason I wrote the article on Putz is that I think that there should be more wikipedia articles written on younger women in the artworld, also when their in the beginning of their career (34 is still young for an artist in Putzs field) in order for them to get the visibility they deserve in an, until very recently, mainly male dominated art world. So Im happy this worked out now with your help. So again, thanks for checking on the article and for your approval. I'll try and improve some more when I can. Best, AnnoYMWD ( talk) 10:12, 31 October 2021 (UTC)A
Dear Hoary, I confirm you that I personally uploaded the photo [7] to Wikidata. When I started writing the draft of Draft:Demian_Conrad, not finding any public domain photos of the designer, I decided to contact him at an email address that I found on his personal website, to ask if he would be willing to provide a photo that could be uploaded to Wikidata and used in the public domain. He sent me the photo in question, giving me permission to upload it under a CC licence. As already mentioned in this page, I work in the graphic design field but I don't have any relation with the designer in question. Best wishes, -- EnḫeduannaS ( talk) 12:37, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
Considering your wikipedia experience, I would like to ask you for some advice, since I don't know who took the photo in question that was sent to me, how should I change the default "own work" text. Would "unknown author" be ok? Thanks again EnḫeduannaS ( talk) 12:46, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Hello, Hoary,
Just FYI, when you restore an expired draft, a CSD G13, you (or the page creator) has to make an edit to the page or it immediately pops back up on a list of pages that are eligible for speedy deletion. A new edit resets the clock. There is a nifty script, RFUD-helper, that takes care of the edit for you after you restore an expired draft. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 00:34, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
On 23 September 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Stephan Vanfleteren, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the photographer Stephan Vanfleteren crossed the US while modelling as Presley and photographing a friend modelling as Elvis? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Stephan Vanfleteren. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Stephan Vanfleteren), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hi, sorry to bother you but if poss. could you take a look at this item and in particular this edit summary. I feel this is rather unnecessary and really suggests to me that this editor is maybe not going to be of a 'collaborative' spirit. Pretty much a personal attack, presumably 'just because' I declined their not-yet-ready draft. Cheers. Eagleash ( talk) 02:28, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
Little update; somethng else reminded me of ths issue but I had to come to your TP for 'total recall'. Only then could I fnd the actual draft.

Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. / Johan (WMF)

Excuse my delay in responding, I haven't seen Wikipedia in a week. In Japan, idol culture is too big to ignore, and there have been many scandals. However, other than this scandal, there are not many other scandals involving idols that are regularly featured on TV or in magazines. In the Japanese Wikipedia, this article exists independently from the Onyanoko Club article. There are only a few sources for Onyanoko Club-related articles, so I took care of that. I think this is a rare case of a group of underage idols with a promising future being deprived of their careers due to smoking.

Hello, do you have access to ISBN 4-473-01750-8, still? I think it has an entry about Motoo Ōtaguro according to HathiTrust, but I can't find out if it's a section about him or just a mention in another photographer's profile. Can you confirm if he has a full entry? I'm not requesting scans or anything, just a confirmation and page number (mentioned on 269 or 345 according to HT) would be helpful for me to find out if the source is relevant for the article I'm currently working on. Great work on all the Japanese photographer articles, by the way. RoseCherry64 ( talk) 11:18, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for checking. What page number for his entry in 日本の写真家 ( ISBN 4-8169-1948-1? RoseCherry64 ( talk) 15:26, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
No worries and thank you, I'm getting this exhibition catalog ( OCLC 51200310) which will likely prove very useful in expanding the article but it will take some time to arrive. I plan on writing an entire section about his photography work once I get it, but I would ideally not like to use a single book as a reference for the section. RoseCherry64 ( talk) 01:11, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
Huge thanks for the additions and no worries about not using consistent citation, always easily fixable later. I formatted the references and also moved the sections about his other topics of interest to personal life. The cite book template unfortunately doesn't allow for also denoting names in non-Latin scripts, afaik.
Non-simplified kanji is certainly annoying to encounter, and I haven't given it too much thought in the article. Perhaps I will make sure it's consistent in the near future. Most contemporary sources will use simplified versions and maybe include a footnote, for obvious reasons. I hope all my romanizations of the titles of his works are adequate, but I also kinda did the lazy route and relied maybe a bit too much on bibliographic information from library catalogs.

Hi Hoary. Was wondering if you'd mind taking a look at Dave Umahi? Things have kind of settled down a bit now, but there was a bit of edit warring going on earlier today. A number of editors have tried to explain to Markegwu on a couple of different pages what was wrong with their approach, but nobody seems to have had much success. Maybe they will be more inclined to listen to an admin. Anyway, I didn't revert again since there now seems to be a discussion taking place on the article's talk page, and didn't think there would be much point stirring the pots. Perhaps you wouldn't mind watching the article for a bit in case the reverting starts back up again. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 13:29, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

You probably need admin magic powers to read the exact number of page watchers. For the common folk such as me, it shows as "less than 30". Someone told me at some point that this is intentional so that vandals cannot target pages with few watchers. You might want to refrain posting such information in the future.

Im not really familiar on using books or novels. Thank you. Appreciates any help. BloatedBun ( talk) 00:11, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi @ Hoary,
I just submitted a AfC draft for Égoïste magazine - the article already exists in French Wikipedia and I was able to translate some parts then added some extra content. I was wondering if I could get your thoughts on it, since Photography and photo related magazines are your area of expertise.
Thanks, SleepyWhippet ( talk) 03:25, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Hoary,
You tagged this article with an AFD tag but didn't follow through and create a discussion page. Did you change your mind about this nomination? Liz Read! Talk! 02:26, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
Thanks Hoary for such a quick review of the submitted draft. I've now added other publications and ISBN/ISSNS and collaborations I can find which broaden the scope of the artist. I realise the (Guildford) obituary reference has disappeared and am trying to get them to re-upload, as in the absence of a Guardian obituary, much information is kept out of the digital domain. I won't resubmit until it has, but would you have a look and see if it now 'stable' enough without that? There is a wonderful obituary article series in The Jackdaw over two editions, but as it concentrates on notoriety and connection rather than nobility (just taken as a given there), I won't add anything of those but perhaps will add them to the review section just so people know they exist!

Hello Hoary, I have created an article 2 month ago and I was searching image from wikipedia Commons of that article. But I am unable to find and during this image searching season I saw that many contributors are taking image from Facebook and Instagram then uploading those image on wikipedia under Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0). So I have also tried and uploaded a image [11], can you please check and tell me whether I have done correct or made any mistakes ? Thank you Samir Bishal ( talk • contribs) 23:25, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
Samir Bishal, I have deleted the file as a copyright violation.
First question. If I tell you that La Brea is garbage because I read this in The Guardian, this is unhelpful. You might ask me where I read this within The Guardian's website; and if you did, I'd tell you " https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/aug/01/la-brea-review-this-sinkhole-drama-is-gloriously-brazenly-bad-i-love-it".
Second question. This page -- the page I'm writing on right now -- tells me "By publishing changes, you agree to the Terms of Use, and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL. You agree that a hyperlink or URL is sufficient attribution under the Creative Commons license." As you'll read it, the page says "Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License 3.0; additional terms may apply." I do not understand how you don't know whether the Instagram source page says something or doesn't say it. To continue with the example above, https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/aug/01/la-brea-review-this-sinkhole-drama-is-gloriously-brazenly-bad-i-love-it does not say it. I know it doesn't, because, as I view the page with Firefox, searching within it for "creative", "attribution", etc, brings nothing. (On the contrary, the page says: "© 2022 Guardian News & Media Limited or its affiliated companies. All rights reserved." "All rights reserved" is incompatible with any Creative Commons license. Note that if 21st-century material -- and much earlier material too -- comes with no copyright information, you must assume that it too is conventionally copyright, "all rights reserved".)
If other contributors are fictitiously applying Creative Commons licenses to stuff they find at Instagram or anywhere else, then they are violating copyright.
"how to upload picture which is available on news portal or Facebook [or] Instagram": Simply, you cannot. (You can if it clearly says that it has an eligible Creative Commons license, but publicity material is only very rarely licensed in this way.)
I hope that all of this is clear now. If anything remains unclear, please post a question to either the teahouse or the help desk (but not both). -- Hoary ( talk) 00:34, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
Dear Mr Hoary!
I've just written to you and your colleague Mr Greenman on my talk page, but since I'm not sure whether my post will be read or not there in the foreseeable future, I dear to disturb you and repeat it here if you don't mind. Here is the text:
"Dear Mr Hoary and Mr Greenman!
Thank you for editing my article! It's a pity that it was declined by Mr Greenman for the second time because it seemed to me that I'd taken into consideration the first piece of advice that was offered by Mr Hoary and did my best to correct the mistakes. It is obviously that I'm not experienced enough in creating Wikipedia articles and need your help to fix all that is "out of joint". I've read all the instructions that were mentioned but failed... Would you be so kind to tell me what in particular should be corrected or added?"
Patiently waiting for your answer. L. Likalter ( talk) 17:37, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
Hi, Hoary. It's my first time to write in wikipedia, so I'm kind of drifting by myself. For your comment: first of all, yes, it's a translation to https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%EC%B5%9C%EB%AA%85%EC%98%81 the korean wikipedia version of Choi. I have no conflict of interest with Choi. I'm a huge fan of him, and just wanted the artist to be known to international viewers. If it has a problem to translate the korean version, please let me know how I create a page for the artist. Thank you.

Hello Hoary, I've now seen your further communication of 6 September 2022. I took very seriously your concern with reliable sources and citations which you voiced on June 20. During the last several months I have carefully reviewed the text, made some revisions and additions, consulted with other knowledgeable people, and added many more reliable, verifiable sources and citations. If you look at my View History page you will see entries from June 30 to August 18. Many of these entries updated sources or provided more easily accessed citations that are found on the web or in major publications such as the New York Times. I tried to diligently support each fact with a reliable source.
I also see the notice concerning Neutral Point of View. In my revisions I also tried to address this concern by adding well referenced direct quotations and restatements available in major publications by significant members of the art establishment. As suggested, I'd be happy to discuss this further on the talk page and to point out how some early unsupported claims are now reinforced by a reference or publication citation.
I do understand and support Wikipedia's content policies. I would now like to ensure that this current draft is resubmitted and will be reevaluated by you and other reviewers.
Thank you for your consideration. IBalancedAll ( talk) 01:32, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your support and your critical comments. - I have added a wealth of new references, many from the academic field or that of German administration: - Note: The "Thieme - Becker" is the most important encyclopaedia of artists ever for the art of the German-speaking world and is the academic standard. The "[Allgemeine] Deutsche Biographie" is the most important biographical source for persons of the 19th century in Germany. Stilmythos ( talk) 14:23, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
Stilmythos, perhaps we can agree that "notability" is defined rather oddly in en:Wikipedia. But it is defined, and with good reason. En:Wikipedia does no more than recycle what's already written in "reliable sources" (RS). There are RS for episodes or aspects of or characters in the most humdrum American TV series (even though one might wonder why anyone would watch the stuff, let alone write it up in RS). And therefore US TV trivia (as well as much other trivia) can and do get articles. For actual people, dead or alive, the notability criteria are described in WP:PERSON. Additionally, there are alternative criteria for artists who could reasonably be described as notable: meeting any one among four criteria in WP:ARTIST. Of these four, (1) is I think anyway covered by WP:PERSON; (2) didn't seem to me at all likely for Elwin; (3) might have been a possibility, but NB the word "major" in "played a major role"; and (4) again consists of four alternatives, of which (d) "[have] been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums" seemed to me to be the likeliest to be satisfied. Arguably there are other imaginable kinds of notability, but I don't agree that being tutored by this or that master (however eminent) is one of them. (Rather, what do RS say that the pupil herself achieved after and thanks to -- or despite -- the tutoring?) ¶ NB I wasn't demanding commentary from one or more professors at world-famous universities. Rather: "professors of art history, curators, art critics, art journalists". These could be any universities other than mere degree mills; and really, the net is sufficiently capacious to catch anyone short of self-important bloggers and Youtube/TV motormouths. Papers by graduate students published in reputable, peer-reviewed journals of art history would of course be fine. ¶ Yes, there are plenty of articles about artists here that are no more convincing: well, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, and I find the article on Zofia Atteslander very feeble. ¶ Again, I'd be delighted to find myself proved wrong about Elwin: delighted to see the draft demonstrate that she's "notable" and to have it promoted to article status. -- Hoary ( talk) 23:59, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
I have taken note of the comment about the German Wikipedia. I have documented in a footnote that I have taken well-researched sources from the German Wikipedia without quoting the Wikipedia article itself. Stilmythos ( talk) 12:21, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello,
I saw your comment on the draft. Could you take another look and offer advice to help get published? Your comment says. "I don't notice substantive material about him or his work. There just seem to be interviews, mentions, and other flimsy material" My question is, for a person who has many interviews and articles published about him, why would that not count as substantive material to be published? His IMDb shows the large movies that he has coming out. (Steven Spielberg's The Fabelman's, Reveille, and the trade articles have announced his newest film.)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Hoary, if I may I'm bringing this directly to you rather than making a ruckus at ANI, as you already made a comment on this issue. I think it's time to finally hard-prevent Realfakebezalbob from adding unsourced material to aquaristics article, principally List of freshwater aquarium fish species. Over the last two month, I have had to revert no fewer than five instances [12] [13] [14] [15] [16], each followed up with lengthy discussions on the article talk page and their talk page, and multiple formal warnings. Today I noticed they'd done it again last week [17], contending that "it's all sourced in the species articles".
After repeated explanations of onus and sourcing requirements, and that WP:BLUESKY does not apply to aquaristic minutiae (another of their pet assertions), I don't think there's any excuse of misunderstanding left now; they think they don't have to source their stuff and that's it. I would suggest at least a partial block from List of freshwater aquarium fish species to stop this ongoing disruption. Cheers -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 09:56, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Hoary
Thanks for helping with this draft. I have added a few references which I hope fixes the unreferenced sections. But there is a new issue. I added a photo to Wikimedia Commons from flickr. But it has been listed for deletion because a known photographer took the photo. I believe the photographer has released his rights and have said so on the photos talk page and asking how to confirm this for Wikimedia Commons but no-one has replied yet. I am not sure whether to resubmit the draft, remove the photo and resubmit or what. I am also not sure whether I should even be asking this! It's all a little confusing for newcomers. Thanks.

Hi! Thanks for your review and comments. Yes, most are articles about the artist in "art magazines" (I think it is better to call them that way), which include text and his works, they are spaces in those publications dedicated exclusively to him. The links that I included in that section are direct to each specific publication, where the artist is mentioned. Unfortunately many of these contents are not online, I have some PDFs about those contents but I understand that it is not appropriate to upload them as images. As for each of these media is less than four pages, I understand that you mean the length of the articles about the artist? if so, I don't see anything wrong with the coverage being 3 or 4 pages. Please let me know if I misinterpreted your comment. Thanks! Cmparma ( talk) 19:11, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
hello sir, i am a new wikipedia user, i am trying to contribute to wikipedia. i am basically from kashmir and i want to contribute to wikipedia with kashmiri notable articles. i have started drafting my first article on a kashmiri entrepreneur and i have checked it multiple times and it looks fine to me now, but since i am new i might be wrong, can you kindly assist and guide me on this article. please see if more information is required or it is enough. i'll be very thankful if you help me with my first article and also help me to publish it to main space.

Hello, i happen to know him, but this is not a COI, I have gone through all the articles myself. this is the only reason i want to do article on him, also i am planning to do article mainly on notable kashmiri people. i think people should know about him (He has been very notable in news in 2017 and now with his new startup 'Stalwart Esports' he's making it to news again and thats why i wanted to do it on him,my formatting might be wrong but i am learning it all) and other kashmiri's as well since everyone looks up for information on wikipedia only. i am new to wikipedia and still learning on how to make edits, i was unable to move the article to mainspace and i googled about it and it showed me that you need an old account to move it, so i asked Zeyan if he has an old account and if he can move it, since i didnt know about AfC process, i admit my mistake and apologise for it, i have submitted it through AfC. i'll make sure this doesnt get repeated, and my reason for asking multiple users about the draft was to ask them to review it if there are any mistakes in the article. and i have updated the sources for the pictures as well,kindly check. I am sorry for the earlier incorrect source. i am learning about all the rules of wiki slowly and i look forward to improve things
The reason i am posting this message here as well is to let you know about my response, i dont know if you will get any notification of my response at teahouse question.

Speaking of non-finite clause versus nonfinite phrase, please see my edit here. Does the edit accord with a reputable publication? Yes. Do I stand by the edit? Yes, as it accords with my own lexicon. Will the edit satisfy even 50% of the people who care? Probably not. I'm not holding my breath waiting to see how long to takes before someone reverts the edit. I'll be shocked if the edit stays untouched for an entire week. No, I won't be offended if you get the jump on everyone and revert it yourself.

Hi Hoary! I hope you are well! Thank you for evaluating the draft. You mentioned in the comment that any notable photographer must meet WP:ARTIST criteria for notability. When reading the section on creative professionals' notability, I found this information:
4. “The person's work (or works) has: (a) become a significant monument, (b) been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) won significant critical attention, or (d) been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.
You definitely have much more experience in this but I wonder whether you can re-evaluate based on the fact that Bartnikas might meet criteria of B) and C) since he won a few photography awards (taking 1st or 2nd places) and therefore was reviewed by significant critical attention? If you check his
sections “Notable Photography Awards” and “Exhibitions” and check the sources, you can see that he is not out of the mill photographer.

Wikipedia needs to get a thread started so you can see the citations and attribute the archeological evidence. Added at 12:40, 14 April 2021 by 173.28.240.153
Hoary, The following statement came from Wikipedia: 'The murderer had a horse waiting, and would have got away, but the foot of his horse caught in a wild vine, and he was thrown from the saddle by the stumble, and slain by his pursuers.' This is fiction from H.G. Wells! 173.28.240.153 ( talk) 13:21, 14 April 2021 (UTC) The passage is from Philip II page. My family has been in America a long time. They follow the same religious practices as you must. Knowledge to one, might not be agreeable to another. But that would be racism in its purest form. Is Wikipedia racist? 173.28.240.153 ( talk) 13:26, 14 April 2021 (UTC) This is another passage from Wikipedia: 'one of the two epic poems attributed to Homer' - Fiction I can list thousands of pages on Wikipedia that uses fiction to tell stories.

Hello H, hope you and yours are well. I am writing in response to a line in your Teahouse comments on the Beretta book. FYI in the last 90 days Mahatma Gandhi wiki article had 18,500 views ... per day. He is a fairly famous person now, and was certainly a fairly globally-prominent person in 1948 (the year of his death). Looking at the Trove digitised Australian historical newspapers, there were some 80 articles published about him before his death on the 30th January, and some 440 for the rest of the year. I acknowledge the intense interest in a former British colony in another British colony (and there had been substantial people and goods travel between the two), but I suggest that in fact many areas of the world were watching the Indian Independence movement and the tactics of its perceived leader, Gandhi.

Some of your responses on Teahouse haven't been very helpful. You should probably take a look at what they're asking and give them the appropriate answer. For example, there's a reference desk for questions not related to Wikipedia specifically and you told someone who asked a question that would've been great there to look it up in their search engine.

Heyyyy I'm not sure if you remember my little crusade against Japanese photographer stub-orphans, but I've come across Shinichiro Kobayashi and Tadayuki Kawahito. Before I drop PRODs on them, can you have a look and let me know if you think they're worth rescuing? ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 05:21, 6 August 2021
Yikes, really sorry, I cleared the original notification with every intention to reply and then forgot all about it :| (I have what is clinically referred to as a goldfish memory). Your edit looks good, thank you for always being willing to look at these for me. I haven't done my usual checks for Kawahito yet, but I will shortly and then go from there. ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 23:55, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
Hey Hoary, finally got a chance to look at Tadayuki Kawahito. Tried his name English and Japanese-style, and the Japanese characters as well, and came up with nothing substantive. I'm going to stick a PROD on it, but obviously I'd be quite happy to see you remove it if you find anything about him that I didn't find. (As for the plagiarism - nothing surprises me in that vein anymore.) ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 06:06, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
I think the general problem is of course that one source is rarely sufficient to keep an article around, no matter the topic. If I'd found even a lick of any other coverage anywhere I wouldn't have put the PROD template. ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 00:36, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
I'm happy to restore it if you're satisfied that he's notable; you're right that it's likely to remain a stub, but so are many other articles, so that shouldn't count against it. The Tokyo Museum exhibition sounds to me like it would roll him past NARTIST no problem. (I realize you're also a mop-wielder and can undelete too but in case you feel you shouldn't for some reason I'm happy to do it.) ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 09:40, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
Lovely old things in a state of elegant decay are my kryptonite, and I do feel a certain affection for Athena. I'm coming off a night shift and don't feel up to it right this second but I should have time over my current block off to have a look :) ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 13:14, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
Looks like it wound up mainspaced before I got a chance to go over it. I didn't find too much more source-wise on a quick search (but I don't speak German so I'm not surprised). Cool article though, I'll keep it on the watchlist and might get back to it in the future. ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 01:36, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
Thank you very much for corrections.
About the need to add more sources, I have found about 15 more sources but unfortunatly many of them are from online but not print press:
I have also found a long and very interesting text about Alex Van Gelder's work with Louise Bourgeois:
Aagje Swinnen (2018) Mumbling Beauty: Louise Bourgeois—portraits of the artist as a much older woman, Feminist Media Studies, 18:1, 122-137, DOI:10.1080/14680777.2018.1409995 [2]
In fact, I don't know what is the better way to use and dispatch those new sources along the article… Perhaps, the good way would be to delete some previous not essential sources and replace them by new ones more relevant?…
I would really appreciate your advice to enrich the article properly in order to make it publishable.
Thank you very much for answer.

Thank you for your advice.

Hey Hoary,Thanks for your edit. Im new to Wikipedia and the Article about the photographer Hanna Putz is my first. Regarding the photo copyright you mentioned, this is a mistake on my side; as Ive got the permission from Mr.Richter to use this image I thought this would be sufficient to use it.However after your comment, implying Mr. Richter write the article (?) I checked and the credit would still read by D. Richter but the Copyrights, he informed me actually lay with VG Bild-Kunst. How can I now delete the old photo with the wrong copyright and/or upload it again with the right copyright?I can't find a way to do this? Iv I upload it again it tells me its a replica of the image Ive used and I can't change the copyright/Credit.Your help would be much appreciated!Thanks, Anno added at 10:44, 22 August 2021 by AnnoYMWD
Ah great thank you! Ill try this! I just wrote to you again as I thought you deleted my message, sorry for this. As I said, Im very new to Wikipedia and still seem to get a lot wrong. Hopefully this will get better. THANK YOU! Ill try and solve the copyright Issue now. Best, Anno AnnoYMWD ( talk) 11:59, 22 August 2021 (UTC) I've nominated the image now for deletion an have uploaded another one in the meantime.

Hey Hoary,I thought uploading a self portrait from her website would be ok to post as I thought that makes it clear a/ where it came from and b/ who owns the copyright, which is obviously Mr.Putz This seems to be wrong aswel.. Maybe you could help me by letting me know what kind of a photo Im allowed to upload or which kind of a permission In which form I would need to be able to upload either the self portrait or the Collage of Mr. Richter? AnnoYMWD ( talk) 12:36, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
I did this as I understood your advice to be not to explain the whole thing as that would make things more complicated (> 'If you think that you can later get explicit permission for the picture to be at Commons, I recommend that you don't mention this: if you do mention it, then your explanation becomes long and complicated. Just have it deleted, and later, work to have it restored, legally)thats why I only wrote that it was a mistake. I can now add: the fact that Im new here and simply made a mistake, the fact that I have the permission to use the photo&collage by Mr.Richter and that I know now that the credit for the photo lies with VG Bildkunst who owns all copyright credits to any work of Mr.Richter. Would that explanation help to have it deleted? I can ofc do that. However Im still not sure I understand what I need to then upload it again to make it a 'Commons'? Thanks!Best A. AnnoYMWD ( talk) 12:36, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
Ok, I think I might have got it now; I would either need a written permission (found the template) by Daniel Richter for the Collage or Hanna Putz for the Self Portrait to use the image on Wikipedia as Commons which basically means to give away all the rights to have this image used and or reproduced for everything by anyone until forever, yes?Or does that mean only on wikipedia? Meaning, this copyright permission doesnt mean that the photo can be used commercially etc. by anyone? This written permission by the original copyright holder I email to the commons email address (ev. together with the bespoke photo) and upload the photo. Correct? Thank you A. AnnoYMWD ( talk) 13:02, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
Hey Hoary, got it, thanks for the explanation! I'll email Mrs. Putz Assistant then again to see if she's willing to give out an Image of hers (she owns the copyright too, in terms of it being a self portrait and not a photo of another photographer) and to sign the permission template I found on wikipedia.I hope I got it right this time and that this will work out.Thanks again,Best AnnoYMWD ( talk) 13:24, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
Hey Hoary, I hope this finds you well. Hannas Page has finally been approved after quite some time, which is great - however it still has that mark on it saying 'A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. This 'problem' was solved by you already so how or when will this finally be removed? Or is there anything else I can do to help have it removed? Thank you! Best, AnnoYMWD ( talk) 19:10, 24 October 2021 (UTC)AnnoYMWD
Hey you two :) Firstly thanks to both of you for your help. As this was my first article, Ive obviously made some mistakes in the beginning..I have to say though that it isnt entirely true that 'there are a lot of references to her own website'. There are references to her website but thats because she has a PRESS section on her website that made it easy for me to have some of the press on her all combined together and not have to go each and every article individually. It initially was also not true that most references are from interviews with her - I did f.e. put in 3 quotes from respected curators (f.e. Susan Bright) talking about Putzs work from various texts which were all deleted (?). However, I generally understand some concerns here. The reason I wrote the article on Putz is that I think that there should be more wikipedia articles written on younger women in the artworld, also when their in the beginning of their career (34 is still young for an artist in Putzs field) in order for them to get the visibility they deserve in an, until very recently, mainly male dominated art world. So Im happy this worked out now with your help. So again, thanks for checking on the article and for your approval. I'll try and improve some more when I can. Best, AnnoYMWD ( talk) 10:12, 31 October 2021 (UTC)A
Dear Hoary, I confirm you that I personally uploaded the photo [7] to Wikidata. When I started writing the draft of Draft:Demian_Conrad, not finding any public domain photos of the designer, I decided to contact him at an email address that I found on his personal website, to ask if he would be willing to provide a photo that could be uploaded to Wikidata and used in the public domain. He sent me the photo in question, giving me permission to upload it under a CC licence. As already mentioned in this page, I work in the graphic design field but I don't have any relation with the designer in question. Best wishes, -- EnḫeduannaS ( talk) 12:37, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. / Johan (WMF)

Hey, you helped me with the vandalism in Dilar Dirik, and i would like to ask for another help. Turns out the person expressed her desire to not be in wikipedia, because of many reasons relating to her present public condition, so i am trying to figure out how i can put it in the elimination process. I am not new in wikipedia, but as a user of wiki.pt i dont really know how to navigate here, because the interface is different. Anyway, thanks for the attention. JoaquimCebuano ( talk) 08:16, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
Ohhh... I already mentioned it, sorry, should have looked here first. But i did agree with the elimination, and also this fact was mentioned by someone else. Thanks for the help! JoaquimCebuano ( talk) 19:18, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
Excuse my delay in responding, I haven't seen Wikipedia in a week. In Japan, idol culture is too big to ignore, and there have been many scandals. However, other than this scandal, there are not many other scandals involving idols that are regularly featured on TV or in magazines. In the Japanese Wikipedia, this article exists independently from the Onyanoko Club article. There are only a few sources for Onyanoko Club-related articles, so I took care of that. I think this is a rare case of a group of underage idols with a promising future being deprived of their careers due to smoking.

Hello, do you have access to ISBN 4-473-01750-8, still? I think it has an entry about Motoo Ōtaguro according to HathiTrust, but I can't find out if it's a section about him or just a mention in another photographer's profile. Can you confirm if he has a full entry? I'm not requesting scans or anything, just a confirmation and page number (mentioned on 269 or 345 according to HT) would be helpful for me to find out if the source is relevant for the article I'm currently working on. Great work on all the Japanese photographer articles, by the way. RoseCherry64 ( talk) 11:18, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for checking. What page number for his entry in 日本の写真家 ( ISBN 4-8169-1948-1? RoseCherry64 ( talk) 15:26, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
No worries and thank you, I'm getting this exhibition catalog ( OCLC 51200310) which will likely prove very useful in expanding the article but it will take some time to arrive. I plan on writing an entire section about his photography work once I get it, but I would ideally not like to use a single book as a reference for the section. RoseCherry64 ( talk) 01:11, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
Huge thanks for the additions and no worries about not using consistent citation, always easily fixable later. I formatted the references and also moved the sections about his other topics of interest to personal life. The cite book template unfortunately doesn't allow for also denoting names in non-Latin scripts, afaik.
Non-simplified kanji is certainly annoying to encounter, and I haven't given it too much thought in the article. Perhaps I will make sure it's consistent in the near future. Most contemporary sources will use simplified versions and maybe include a footnote, for obvious reasons. I hope all my romanizations of the titles of his works are adequate, but I also kinda did the lazy route and relied maybe a bit too much on bibliographic information from library catalogs.

Hi Hoary. Was wondering if you'd mind taking a look at Dave Umahi? Things have kind of settled down a bit now, but there was a bit of edit warring going on earlier today. A number of editors have tried to explain to Markegwu on a couple of different pages what was wrong with their approach, but nobody seems to have had much success. Maybe they will be more inclined to listen to an admin. Anyway, I didn't revert again since there now seems to be a discussion taking place on the article's talk page, and didn't think there would be much point stirring the pots. Perhaps you wouldn't mind watching the article for a bit in case the reverting starts back up again. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 13:29, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I've read your remarks regarding my article and I'm grateful to you for taking the time to guide me to the errors I've made. I've now edited the article according to your review. Mainly, I removed all the unreliable sources, added the trans tag to the french and Arabic sources, and fixed the unnecessary promotional tone. I'd appreciate it if you could give it another read and see if it needs further editing. Thank you, Rymknows23 ( talk) 09:19, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for mentioning me. It was a bit difficult to follow and my hope is that my explanation served to help you and others determine what happened even if only as a stating point.

You delivered on that with your usual wisdom and understanding. -- ARose Wolf 12:39, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

You probably need admin magic powers to read the exact number of page watchers. For the common folk such as me, it shows as "less than 30". Someone told me at some point that this is intentional so that vandals cannot target pages with few watchers. You might want to refrain posting such information in the future.

Hi @ Hoary,
I just submitted a AfC draft for Égoïste magazine - the article already exists in French Wikipedia and I was able to translate some parts then added some extra content. I was wondering if I could get your thoughts on it, since Photography and photo related magazines are your area of expertise.
Thanks, SleepyWhippet ( talk) 03:25, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
Hello, Hoary,
You tagged this article with an AFD tag but didn't follow through and create a discussion page. Did you change your mind about this nomination? Liz Read! Talk! 02:26, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
Thanks Hoary for such a quick review of the submitted draft. I've now added other publications and ISBN/ISSNS and collaborations I can find which broaden the scope of the artist. I realise the (Guildford) obituary reference has disappeared and am trying to get them to re-upload, as in the absence of a Guardian obituary, much information is kept out of the digital domain. I won't resubmit until it has, but would you have a look and see if it now 'stable' enough without that? There is a wonderful obituary article series in The Jackdaw over two editions, but as it concentrates on notoriety and connection rather than nobility (just taken as a given there), I won't add anything of those but perhaps will add them to the review section just so people know they exist!

hello sir can you help me artist Kay celis ( talk) 10:04, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
Hello Hoary, I have created an article 2 month ago and I was searching image from wikipedia Commons of that article. But I am unable to find and during this image searching season I saw that many contributors are taking image from Facebook and Instagram then uploading those image on wikipedia under Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0). So I have also tried and uploaded a image [11], can you please check and tell me whether I have done correct or made any mistakes ? Thank you Samir Bishal ( talk • contribs) 23:25, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
Samir Bishal, I have deleted the file as a copyright violation.
First question. If I tell you that La Brea is garbage because I read this in The Guardian, this is unhelpful. You might ask me where I read this within The Guardian's website; and if you did, I'd tell you " https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/aug/01/la-brea-review-this-sinkhole-drama-is-gloriously-brazenly-bad-i-love-it".
Second question. This page -- the page I'm writing on right now -- tells me "By publishing changes, you agree to the Terms of Use, and you irrevocably agree to release your contribution under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL. You agree that a hyperlink or URL is sufficient attribution under the Creative Commons license." As you'll read it, the page says "Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License 3.0; additional terms may apply." I do not understand how you don't know whether the Instagram source page says something or doesn't say it. To continue with the example above, https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/aug/01/la-brea-review-this-sinkhole-drama-is-gloriously-brazenly-bad-i-love-it does not say it. I know it doesn't, because, as I view the page with Firefox, searching within it for "creative", "attribution", etc, brings nothing. (On the contrary, the page says: "© 2022 Guardian News & Media Limited or its affiliated companies. All rights reserved." "All rights reserved" is incompatible with any Creative Commons license. Note that if 21st-century material -- and much earlier material too -- comes with no copyright information, you must assume that it too is conventionally copyright, "all rights reserved".)
If other contributors are fictitiously applying Creative Commons licenses to stuff they find at Instagram or anywhere else, then they are violating copyright.
"how to upload picture which is available on news portal or Facebook [or] Instagram": Simply, you cannot. (You can if it clearly says that it has an eligible Creative Commons license, but publicity material is only very rarely licensed in this way.)
I hope that all of this is clear now. If anything remains unclear, please post a question to either the teahouse or the help desk (but not both). -- Hoary ( talk) 00:34, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
Dear Mr Hoary!
I've just written to you and your colleague Mr Greenman on my talk page, but since I'm not sure whether my post will be read or not there in the foreseeable future, I dear to disturb you and repeat it here if you don't mind. Here is the text:
"Dear Mr Hoary and Mr Greenman!
Thank you for editing my article! It's a pity that it was declined by Mr Greenman for the second time because it seemed to me that I'd taken into consideration the first piece of advice that was offered by Mr Hoary and did my best to correct the mistakes. It is obviously that I'm not experienced enough in creating Wikipedia articles and need your help to fix all that is "out of joint". I've read all the instructions that were mentioned but failed... Would you be so kind to tell me what in particular should be corrected or added?"
Patiently waiting for your answer. L. Likalter ( talk) 17:37, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
Hi, Hoary. It's my first time to write in wikipedia, so I'm kind of drifting by myself. For your comment: first of all, yes, it's a translation to https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%EC%B5%9C%EB%AA%85%EC%98%81 the korean wikipedia version of Choi. I have no conflict of interest with Choi. I'm a huge fan of him, and just wanted the artist to be known to international viewers. If it has a problem to translate the korean version, please let me know how I create a page for the artist. Thank you.
Tpg.2022 ( talk) 05:51, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
Hello Hoary, I've now seen your further communication of 6 September 2022. I took very seriously your concern with reliable sources and citations which you voiced on June 20. During the last several months I have carefully reviewed the text, made some revisions and additions, consulted with other knowledgeable people, and added many more reliable, verifiable sources and citations. If you look at my View History page you will see entries from June 30 to August 18. Many of these entries updated sources or provided more easily accessed citations that are found on the web or in major publications such as the New York Times. I tried to diligently support each fact with a reliable source.
I also see the notice concerning Neutral Point of View. In my revisions I also tried to address this concern by adding well referenced direct quotations and restatements available in major publications by significant members of the art establishment. As suggested, I'd be happy to discuss this further on the talk page and to point out how some early unsupported claims are now reinforced by a reference or publication citation.
I do understand and support Wikipedia's content policies. I would now like to ensure that this current draft is resubmitted and will be reevaluated by you and other reviewers.
Thank you for your consideration. IBalancedAll ( talk) 01:32, 9 September 2022 (UTC)

Thank you for your support and your critical comments. - I have added a wealth of new references, many from the academic field or that of German administration: - Note: The "Thieme - Becker" is the most important encyclopaedia of artists ever for the art of the German-speaking world and is the academic standard. The "[Allgemeine] Deutsche Biographie" is the most important biographical source for persons of the 19th century in Germany. Stilmythos ( talk) 14:23, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
Stilmythos, perhaps we can agree that "notability" is defined rather oddly in en:Wikipedia. But it is defined, and with good reason. En:Wikipedia does no more than recycle what's already written in "reliable sources" (RS). There are RS for episodes or aspects of or characters in the most humdrum American TV series (even though one might wonder why anyone would watch the stuff, let alone write it up in RS). And therefore US TV trivia (as well as much other trivia) can and do get articles. For actual people, dead or alive, the notability criteria are described in WP:PERSON. Additionally, there are alternative criteria for artists who could reasonably be described as notable: meeting any one among four criteria in WP:ARTIST. Of these four, (1) is I think anyway covered by WP:PERSON; (2) didn't seem to me at all likely for Elwin; (3) might have been a possibility, but NB the word "major" in "played a major role"; and (4) again consists of four alternatives, of which (d) "[have] been represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums" seemed to me to be the likeliest to be satisfied. Arguably there are other imaginable kinds of notability, but I don't agree that being tutored by this or that master (however eminent) is one of them. (Rather, what do RS say that the pupil herself achieved after and thanks to -- or despite -- the tutoring?) ¶ NB I wasn't demanding commentary from one or more professors at world-famous universities. Rather: "professors of art history, curators, art critics, art journalists". These could be any universities other than mere degree mills; and really, the net is sufficiently capacious to catch anyone short of self-important bloggers and Youtube/TV motormouths. Papers by graduate students published in reputable, peer-reviewed journals of art history would of course be fine. ¶ Yes, there are plenty of articles about artists here that are no more convincing: well, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, and I find the article on Zofia Atteslander very feeble. ¶ Again, I'd be delighted to find myself proved wrong about Elwin: delighted to see the draft demonstrate that she's "notable" and to have it promoted to article status. -- Hoary ( talk) 23:59, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
I have taken note of the comment about the German Wikipedia. I have documented in a footnote that I have taken well-researched sources from the German Wikipedia without quoting the Wikipedia article itself. Stilmythos ( talk) 12:21, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello,
I saw your comment on the draft. Could you take another look and offer advice to help get published? Your comment says. "I don't notice substantive material about him or his work. There just seem to be interviews, mentions, and other flimsy material" My question is, for a person who has many interviews and articles published about him, why would that not count as substantive material to be published? His IMDb shows the large movies that he has coming out. (Steven Spielberg's The Fabelman's, Reveille, and the trade articles have announced his newest film.)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Hoary, if I may I'm bringing this directly to you rather than making a ruckus at ANI, as you already made a comment on this issue. I think it's time to finally hard-prevent Realfakebezalbob from adding unsourced material to aquaristics article, principally List of freshwater aquarium fish species. Over the last two month, I have had to revert no fewer than five instances [12] [13] [14] [15] [16], each followed up with lengthy discussions on the article talk page and their talk page, and multiple formal warnings. Today I noticed they'd done it again last week [17], contending that "it's all sourced in the species articles".
After repeated explanations of onus and sourcing requirements, and that WP:BLUESKY does not apply to aquaristic minutiae (another of their pet assertions), I don't think there's any excuse of misunderstanding left now; they think they don't have to source their stuff and that's it. I would suggest at least a partial block from List of freshwater aquarium fish species to stop this ongoing disruption. Cheers -- Elmidae ( talk · contribs) 09:56, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the input on the question I posted in the teahouse. The question was archived before I was able to respond to your response. Here are the media sources I've found so far:

And additionally, here's the article in the medical journal (just to reiterate what I mentioned in my original post, there is a photo taken mid operation that is quite graphic):
Let me know if this strikes you as a hard no. Otherwise I think I'd err on the side of notability, and I'd like to get started!
Thanks again. A username can have spaces? ( talk) 01:38, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

I'm getting in some practice at referencing and wondered of this [18] would be a suitable reference for this article Lamy, New Mexico? Thanks in advance, Knitsey ( talk) 19:02, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

You talked to me about my signature yesterday at the
teahouse, specifically
here. I've altered it a bit, but looking at the guidelines at
WP:SIGN, I saw this: [Do not add line breaks (<br />
), which can also negatively affect nearby text display. The use of
non-breaking spaces to ensure that the signature displays on one line is recommended.] How do I use non-breaking spaces?

Hi Hoary
Thanks for helping with this draft. I have added a few references which I hope fixes the unreferenced sections. But there is a new issue. I added a photo to Wikimedia Commons from flickr. But it has been listed for deletion because a known photographer took the photo. I believe the photographer has released his rights and have said so on the photos talk page and asking how to confirm this for Wikimedia Commons but no-one has replied yet. I am not sure whether to resubmit the draft, remove the photo and resubmit or what. I am also not sure whether I should even be asking this! It's all a little confusing for newcomers. Thanks.
