Hi all
After doing some research for some UN related articles I've discovered some treaties which do not have Wikipedia articles. Does anyone have any suggestions of Wikiprojects who might be interested in writing about any of them? I can only think of Wikiproject Law so far:
Thanks very much

Hello Wiki Team --
Our small company has been working with a company called Pro Wordsmiths that promises to create and submit a Wikipedia page for our brand. It was a couple of thousand dollars and it has now been over a year with very little communication from them. Has anyone else had this experience or have further information?
They told us we can check Wikipedia to prove that our page has been submitted to be approved or denied. Can anyone let me know how to do this?— Preceding unsigned comment added by BobWilliams1979 ( talk • contribs)
Bro! You were scammed. Think about it. You paid a company for a Wikipedia article then they ghosted you. That’s the first flag. The second is that with basic research you would have figured out that the best way to get an article on here is naturally based on being notable and numerous sources based on your business history.
Having a Wikipedia article doesn’t always work in your favour either. If something negative happened with your business and it’s notable it will be added to the article as well which could have negative effects.
I wish you the best. 47.54.46.16 ( talk) 22:25, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
Thanks so much, everyone! I appreciate all of the info and your time.
Hi my fellow editors :D...
So last night, I uploaded a new cropped version of the 2012 image of Bakir Izetbegović from this to this. Now, it seems that it's a bit broken haha. When I, for example, open that newly cropped image on the 2014 Bosnian general election article, it looks completely normal, but when I go to his own article, it goes back to the old image, the first one, plus the old image looks elongated and not in "HD" quality. But when I click on that "old" image to open it fully, it goes back to my new, normal looking, cropped version of it. However, when I'm on my mobile phone, the new cropped version of the image looks comepletely normal no matter what article I go on. You can even look in the image's File history on Commons that I had changed it a lot because of this problem. Can somebody please look a bit into this? Bakir123 ( talk) 19:17, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
@ TimTempleton (talk) and @ Gråbergs Gråa Sång It's weird because when I go on Chrome, it looks weird, but when I go on Microsoft Edge's search, it's completely normal. I'll try the bypass Gråbergs. Bakir123 ( talk) 19:40, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

How is the Special:WhatLinksHere page organized? It doesn't seem to be purely alphabetical. Why are some pages near the top and others near the bottom? For example, why is Geyser at the top of Special:WhatLinksHere\Waikato River? — Mr. Guye ( talk) ( contribs) 20:01, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
I am developing an article that makes multiple references to a number of books. I have therefore listed the books at the end of the article thus (Source B):
* {{cite book |last1=Griffiths |first1=Denis |title=Locomotive engineers of the GWR |date=1987 |publisher=Stephens |location=Wellingborough |isbn=0-85059-819-2}}
and use {{ sfn}} to refer to various pages as required. On one page is a quote from a journal to which I do not have access. Since it is a good book, it has a reference to the original article (though without the title) from which I can construct a reference (Source A):
* {{cite journal |ref={{sfnref|GWRMagazine|1935}} |title=Unknown article |journal=GWR Magazine |date=1935 |volume=47 |pages=206-207}}
However, since I have not seen the journal, the advice in Wikipedia:Citing_sources#Say where you read it is to state 'Source A cited in Source B'. If I try to do this in my reference section, I get a duplicate error for Source B, as it also exists as a source on its own. If I say 'Source A cited in {{sfn|Griffiths||p=107}}', I get a little number for Source B, and a new set of references at the bottom of the article (under the categories and everything).
