A friend, not at all keen on IT though uses email, has taken a photo which would improve an article I have edited. She is not a registered editor and is not interested in editing. As far as I can see, the upload process, whether to Commons or to en.wiki, requires her to be registered. Her reaction is "I really don’t want to have to set up a Wikipaedia account", though I've told her how simple it is to do so. So:
Jason Miller was a playwright; but he was also an Academy-award nominated actor... Why does his page say ONLY Playwright in parentheses, that's very silly and misleading... especially since he's more known as an actor.

If it is indeed legal to use the cover of "The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw" by The Butterfield Blues Band I think it would be great to include the other side. Excellent portrait photograph of the band as well as track listings and lack of copyright year as it was legal to exclude back then. Unfortunately my copy is in less than perfect condition, but I would submit it if there were no other options (which I doubt; fantastic album!). Inner sleeve is just the standard Elektra pattern.

I don't know much about antivandal tools, and they appear to have been doing it in good faith (haven't seen any really disruptive edits from them) - just wondering if anyone with the know-how could revert all these changes at once?

Hello! I represent the Canadian hip hop group Conspirituality from Vancouver B.C. We formed the Group in 2007 and are still active in 2024. In 2011 two academics took our name, wrote an academic journal called the Emergence of Conspirituality. In the journal we are cited as the inventors of the Word Conspirituality. We first used the word in 2003. And our Wikipedia page was taken over and rewritten with out mentioning us. In 2018 adding insult to injury a podcast also took our name, briefly citing us on their website home page as the creators of the word. No one has ever contacted us. I’m not looking to cause issues. I just wanted to contact you guys because I want to correct some things properly and be added to the wiki page. We deserve to be part of the conversation, we have more than enough evidence and receipts and there’s mistakes and lies on the page as we speak.

I have been recently working on an article about an ongoing climate protest in Berlin and an editor who I have difficulty with in the past just rolled back some recent edits and removed most of the images I had added. Their commit messages were not especially focused nor helpful. I know from past experience if I engage with said editor, I will get swamped with Wikipedia legalese. If I roll back the edits in good faith and with considered explanations, an edit war will doubtless arise.
I should add that my interactions with other editors are normally productive and respectful. But in this case though, if I do react, conflict seems inevitable and quite possibly even sought. The said, that user's talk page also seems to consist mostly of strife with other editors [when I last interacted]. And I have had experience there too, batting stuff out in user space, when that discussion should really occur on Wikipedia talk pages in a more open and collegial context.
What can be done? Are there forums for resolving disputes of this type? Do I have to endure some unpleasant editing interactions before I can make a case? Are there proactive solutions on offer? Can some someone senior oversee the content development and adjudicate on the edit history as needed?
Indeed, the editing style on display seems to be solely confined to roll‑back and argument. The actual substantive contributions and good‑faith edits seem negligible, based on my past experiences. Surely such patterns of editing are identifiable by simple metrics? Or is there nothing that can be done against what appears to be hostile editing. Please help – this is likely to be very unpleasant and demotivating going forward.
And I should add that one roll-back happened so fast that the editor concerned would not have had any opportunity to read the source material, let alone make a considered judgement about the suitability and accuracy of that contribution. TIA, RobbieIanMorrison ( talk) 16:15, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

I use Wiki Shoot Me to take photos for Wikipedia while I’m traveling. Typically you can identify articles that need photos by looking for yellow dots indicating Wikipedia articles and larger red circles near by indicating WikiData items without photos (as previously these seemed to sync). In two cases recently I noticed articles with CC-licensed images placed correctly in the lead and appropriately sized that did not have their photos synced with WikiData: National Hotel and Wet Mountain Valley. I know the page image is being picked up because they display correctly on Special:Nearby using their coordinates: National Hotel and Wet Mountain Valley. It looks like they’re just not making it to WikiData. - Scarpy ( talk) 23:19, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Forgive me if this has already been asked, I looked but couldn't find anything. I want to cite a specific article (Acanthoma fissuratum of the outer auditory canal from a hearing aid, page 304) within this collection of abstracts. How should I go about this? If I just use a citation generator the title will be "Abstracts of papers presented at the 27th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Dermatopathology" which isn't very helpful. Should I just manually create the citation and use the page number, authors, and title from the specefic article? If so should I include the doi from the collection since that specefic article doesn't have its own doi. Any advice is appreciated, I just want to make sure I am properly citing this source.

During this past month, I've begun to take notice of a new tag filter that detects old-school redirect pages consisting only of "#REDIRECT" and the linked [[page target]]; WP:Categorizing redirects now recommends adding an {{R from X}} tag to avoid the "Uncategorized redirect" message in summaries.

7 years ago I noticed a glitch on Leviathan (2000 AD) in the multigenre section where the genres were always prefixed by a comma. Topic here - David Biddulph suggested that the first genre needed to be "first" not "y" and that fixed it - but none the wiser as to why 2000 AD (comics) didn't need the qualifier and was happy with a "y".
Now I've got the same thing on The 'Nam - but this is even weirder in that the existing revision has a "y" for the first genre, and the preceding comma, but if I change that to "first" then I still get the comma and also the first genre is bunched up without spaces to the second genre.
Should this be declared a bug in that the same criteria yields three different results:
They all use the Infobox comic book title template, so surely behaviour should be the same? Chaheel Riens ( talk) 08:00, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
first
is not an option for which genre you want displayed first. It's a required value for the first alphabetical genre of those genres you want listed. That's why |War=first |Historical=y
fails. You cannot display War before Historical. The template could have been coded to avoid the need for the caller to specify first
but it would require significantly more code with our rather limited template language.

first
because one of the genres is Action=first
Adventure=first
would be required when the earlier genre isn't used.

| party_col = 1
above for the "Party" heading to only span one column. The default is 2 because such tables often have a colored cell there with a party color.

I have been recently working on an article about an ongoing climate protest in Berlin and an editor who I have difficulty with in the past just rolled back some recent edits and removed most of the images I had added. Their commit messages were not especially focused nor helpful. I know from past experience if I engage with said editor, I will get swamped with Wikipedia legalese. If I roll back the edits in good faith and with considered explanations, an edit war will doubtless arise.
I should add that my interactions with other editors are normally productive and respectful. But in this case though, if I do react, conflict seems inevitable and quite possibly even sought. The said, that user's talk page also seems to consist mostly of strife with other editors [when I last interacted]. And I have had experience there too, batting stuff out in user space, when that discussion should really occur on Wikipedia talk pages in a more open and collegial context.
What can be done? Are there forums for resolving disputes of this type? Do I have to endure some unpleasant editing interactions before I can make a case? Are there proactive solutions on offer? Can some someone senior oversee the content development and adjudicate on the edit history as needed?
Indeed, the editing style on display seems to be solely confined to roll‑back and argument. The actual substantive contributions and good‑faith edits seem negligible, based on my past experiences. Surely such patterns of editing are identifiable by simple metrics? Or is there nothing that can be done against what appears to be hostile editing. Please help – this is likely to be very unpleasant and demotivating going forward.
And I should add that one roll-back happened so fast that the editor concerned would not have had any opportunity to read the source material, let alone make a considered judgement about the suitability and accuracy of that contribution. TIA, RobbieIanMorrison ( talk) 16:15, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
The “languages” drop-down that adorns our article on Gaussian elimination offers the corresponding article on the Wikipedia site of each of 49 other languages. These 49 other languages do not include French. How do I add an entry for French Wikipedia’s (Wikipédia’s) article to that list? PaulTanenbaum ( talk) 18:37, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
I created a draft new article. I hit publish but then I cannot submit it for review. It asks me to type the words in the field to check if I am a human. I have typed the words correctly several times but it time it does not recognize this. Then it says I have exceeded the number of attempts. Miamisunshine2024 ( talk) 18:52, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi. I work with some Iranian students and the word for "Bronze" is incorrect. You have written the word for "rice" and not "boronzee"... 2607:FEA8:7DE:CB00:2D06:7FC8:4F09:D7AE ( talk) 22:41, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
I use Wiki Shoot Me to take photos for Wikipedia while I’m traveling. Typically you can identify articles that need photos by looking for yellow dots indicating Wikipedia articles and larger red circles near by indicating WikiData items without photos (as previously these seemed to sync). In two cases recently I noticed articles with CC-licensed images placed correctly in the lead and appropriately sized that did not have their photos synced with WikiData: National Hotel and Wet Mountain Valley. I know the page image is being picked up because they display correctly on Special:Nearby using their coordinates: National Hotel and Wet Mountain Valley. It looks like they’re just not making it to WikiData. - Scarpy ( talk) 23:19, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Forgive me if this has already been asked, I looked but couldn't find anything. I want to cite a specific article (Acanthoma fissuratum of the outer auditory canal from a hearing aid, page 304) within this collection of abstracts. How should I go about this? If I just use a citation generator the title will be "Abstracts of papers presented at the 27th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Dermatopathology" which isn't very helpful. Should I just manually create the citation and use the page number, authors, and title from the specefic article? If so should I include the doi from the collection since that specefic article doesn't have its own doi. Any advice is appreciated, I just want to make sure I am properly citing this source.

During this past month, I've begun to take notice of a new tag filter that detects old-school redirect pages consisting only of "#REDIRECT" and the linked [[page target]]; WP:Categorizing redirects now recommends adding an {{R from X}} tag to avoid the "Uncategorized redirect" message in summaries. Planning to take advantage of this new rule any moment from now; before then, can any editors/developers direct me towards a tool (à la WP:RATER for content assessment) that can help me on the way? -- Slgrandson ( How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 02:43, 3 June 2024 (UTC)

I would like to add, on the tortellini page, that the world celebrates National Tortellini Day every year on 13 February, but my work doesn't focus on adding sources and I don't want to make mistakes; the source is this (which I don't know if it's reliable): https://nationaltoday.com/national-tortellini-day/ (information present in the "Giornata Nazionale dei Tortellini" section of the it.wiki page, https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tortellini).

7 years ago I noticed a glitch on Leviathan (2000 AD) in the multigenre section where the genres were always prefixed by a comma. Topic here - David Biddulph suggested that the first genre needed to be "first" not "y" and that fixed it - but none the wiser as to why 2000 AD (comics) didn't need the qualifier and was happy with a "y".
Now I've got the same thing on The 'Nam - but this is even weirder in that the existing revision has a "y" for the first genre, and the preceding comma, but if I change that to "first" then I still get the comma and also the first genre is bunched up without spaces to the second genre.
Should this be declared a bug in that the same criteria yields three different results:
They all use the Infobox comic book title template, so surely behaviour should be the same? Chaheel Riens ( talk) 08:00, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
first
is not an option for which genre you want displayed first. It's a required value for the first alphabetical genre of those genres you want listed. That's why |War=first |Historical=y
fails. You cannot display War before Historical. The template could have been coded to avoid the need for the caller to specify first
but it would require significantly more code with our rather limited template language.

first
because one of the genres is Action=first
Adventure=first
would be required when the earlier genre isn't used.

Adventure
but it displays as
Action/
adventure. According to the template, you cannot have adventure without action.

I have encountered an unsourced and seemingly wrong edit on the List of countries by obesity rate (I also made a comment on the talk page Talk:List of countries by obesity rate#Republic of Korea). I've tracked it down to the user Special:Contributions/37.211.172.77 that seems to have made many unsourced, and to my eyes wrong, edits, e.g.:
