Hi, I've been writing an article about a speedskater in the late 19th century who has made a historical impact to Dutch speedskating for women. The texts are partly translated based on the Frisian text of Wikipedia page and partly based on established newspaper articles in Dutch from 1974 and 1922 and I have not added any own feelings or comments, just used the newspaper articles text as a basis.

I am seeking help with moving my sandbox page to a new title. I've tried to find the "Move" option as instructed, but I couldn't locate it. I'm logged in with my account and have edited on Wikipedia before.
Could someone please guide me through the process or check if there are any restrictions preventing me from moving the page? The current title of my sandbox is User:2toastygram/Sandbox, and I would like to rename it to User:2toastygram/Toasty chat: Report a topic.

Hello! Earlier submissions of mine on the Talk page of UPtv were made without a template. Helpful editors here in the Teahouse pointed this out. They helped correct the template on two earlier submissions:
- one related to UPtv's 20th anniversary ended up being declined due to promotional language (their explanation made sense and I understand)
- another was a very small non-controversial info-box change that is now in the queue and they suggested it will be approved. I recognize wiki editors are volunteers and what might feel urgent to those submitting a change is certainly not as urgent when considering the fact that wiki editors are moderating an *entire encyclopedia.* - with that said, it would be helpful to know the average length of time it may take for edits in a queue (when non-controversial, correct, etc.) to be reflected on a live page. I'm not sure if a ballpark figure is known, or if there are places on Wikipedia where the average time is listed and can be monitored. It would just be helpful.
Beyond that, I have since made one more submission. I am hopeful that instead of needing an editor to add a template to the submission, that I have used the correct one from the start. Can this be confirmed? The newest submission was titled: Uplifting Entertainment.
Thank you for keeping Wikipedia the great resource that it is. And for your help! Austinchrps ( talk) 18:43, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi everyone,
I'm Feli, a member of the Frente de Estudiantes en Lucha and I'm currently studying the Bachelor's and Professor's degrees in Philosophy. I also have a YouTube channel called 'kratofas' where I share content related to philosophy and student politics. Recently, I've been working on a project about the history and impact of the Frente de Estudiantes en Lucha, and I'd like to create a Wikipedia article on this topic.
I'm looking for guidance and help in putting together a solid draft for this article. Here are some key points I want to include:
History of the Frente de Estudiantes en Lucha: From its formation to the present day. Aims and Principles: What it seeks to achieve and what its core values are. Activities and Achievements: Demonstrations, projects, and any notable impact it has had. Relationships and Collaborations: With other student groups and organizations (national and international). Current Context: The relevance and necessity of the Front in the context of the current government of Javier Milei. Any advice on how to structure the article, reliable sources I can use, and examples of other articles from similar organizations would be very helpful. I am also open to suggestions on what else I could include to make the article more complete and balanced.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance!

I'm currently trying to improve the page Mixed connective tissue disease and I've ran into a bit of an issue. For context Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) has 4 different sets of diagnostic/classification criteria. Usually when I add in classification or diagnostic criteria for a disorder I'll just re word it a bit. The issue is that the diagnostic criteria for MCTD is so specefic that it's hard to reword it without losing meaning. I'm not super familiar with the details of copyright rules but I believe some of this falls under WP:LIMITED. If someone could check out the classification section of my draft for the artcle ( User:CursedWithTheAbilityToDoTheMath/sandbox3) and let me know if what I have is appropriate, that would be much appreciated. I also used an open access article for the diagnostic criteria ( link) so I think it would also be okay to leave the text the same and put in an attribution template but I'm not fully sure if that's needed or what the logistics of that are.

into a link but only selected Byzantine squadron a

, the entire Byzantine squadron at
would become a link, so Visual Editor inserted the tag to prevent that.
[[article|squadron a]]<nowiki/>t
→
squadron at (the t
isn't linked)[[article|squadron a]]t
→
squadron at (the t

is equivalent to <tag></tag>
; it just represents both the opening and closing tags with nothing in between.

I recently ran across an editor with less than 75 edits. Based on their edit summaries, they seem to have always understood Wikipedia "shorthand," if you will. I also noticed the edits seem very style-oriented and less about correction of facts. To me, that seems like a more experienced editor. However, I may be wrong. Is it fairly common for some to edit in that way from the start? I will note, my suspicion is entirely an impression, not based on any concrete evidence. So, my question is basically this, how are "sockpuppets" discovered?

I am seeking help with moving my sandbox page to a new title. I've tried to find the "Move" option as instructed, but I couldn't locate it. I'm logged in with my account and have edited on Wikipedia before.
Could someone please guide me through the process or check if there are any restrictions preventing me from moving the page? The current title of my sandbox is User:2toastygram/Sandbox, and I would like to rename it to User:2toastygram/Toasty chat: Report a topic.

Hello! Earlier submissions of mine on the Talk page of UPtv were made without a template. Helpful editors here in the Teahouse pointed this out. They helped correct the template on two earlier submissions:
- one related to UPtv's 20th anniversary ended up being declined due to promotional language (their explanation made sense and I understand)
- another was a very small non-controversial info-box change that is now in the queue and they suggested it will be approved. I recognize wiki editors are volunteers and what might feel urgent to those submitting a change is certainly not as urgent when considering the fact that wiki editors are moderating an *entire encyclopedia.* - with that said, it would be helpful to know the average length of time it may take for edits in a queue (when non-controversial, correct, etc.) to be reflected on a live page. I'm not sure if a ballpark figure is known, or if there are places on Wikipedia where the average time is listed and can be monitored. It would just be helpful.
Beyond that, I have since made one more submission. I am hopeful that instead of needing an editor to add a template to the submission, that I have used the correct one from the start. Can this be confirmed? The newest submission was titled: Uplifting Entertainment.
Thank you for keeping Wikipedia the great resource that it is. And for your help! Austinchrps ( talk) 18:43, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi everyone,
I'm Feli, a member of the Frente de Estudiantes en Lucha and I'm currently studying the Bachelor's and Professor's degrees in Philosophy. I also have a YouTube channel called 'kratofas' where I share content related to philosophy and student politics. Recently, I've been working on a project about the history and impact of the Frente de Estudiantes en Lucha, and I'd like to create a Wikipedia article on this topic.
I'm looking for guidance and help in putting together a solid draft for this article. Here are some key points I want to include:
History of the Frente de Estudiantes en Lucha: From its formation to the present day. Aims and Principles: What it seeks to achieve and what its core values are. Activities and Achievements: Demonstrations, projects, and any notable impact it has had. Relationships and Collaborations: With other student groups and organizations (national and international). Current Context: The relevance and necessity of the Front in the context of the current government of Javier Milei. Any advice on how to structure the article, reliable sources I can use, and examples of other articles from similar organizations would be very helpful. I am also open to suggestions on what else I could include to make the article more complete and balanced.

I'm currently trying to improve the page Mixed connective tissue disease and I've ran into a bit of an issue. For context Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) has 4 different sets of diagnostic/classification criteria. Usually when I add in classification or diagnostic criteria for a disorder I'll just re word it a bit. The issue is that the diagnostic criteria for MCTD is so specefic that it's hard to reword it without losing meaning. I'm not super familiar with the details of copyright rules but I believe some of this falls under WP:LIMITED. If someone could check out the classification section of my draft for the artcle ( User:CursedWithTheAbilityToDoTheMath/sandbox3) and let me know if what I have is appropriate, that would be much appreciated. I also used an open access article for the diagnostic criteria ( link) so I think it would also be okay to leave the text the same and put in an attribution template but I'm not fully sure if that's needed or what the logistics of that are.

This makes for an unclean look, and is not very friendly to those who are dyslexic or have visual impairment. Mergle ( talk) 13:09, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Explanation: I found one article completely ran by a museum. They have their own Wikipedia page which is cool for them, however they are not letting anyone do any edits on their wiki. They are reverting edits done and are mentioning to those that edited it that they "Are not authorized representatives" of said museum. What should I do in this situation since I had done an edit after I applied for volunteering at that museum where they showed me their aircraft and noticed the wiki page they have is outdated.

a volunteer of the JAM. Please carefully consider based on those rules whether you think you should edit the article directly; it might be best to propose changes via edit requests. Feel free to reach out with any other questions or concerns, and happy editing! Bsoyka ( t • c • g) 14:47, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
The piece of vandalism was in the mini-description. Specifically, the vandalism was for the mini-description of the surname Ponomaryov, where it says (transliterated) suka, a Russian profanity corresponding to whore/bitch. MetricPin ( talk) 15:36, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
mini-description, you're actually referring to what we call a short description. I've removed the offending text from the article by removing the
{{
Short description}}
template at the top, since a correct description is automatically generated for surname lists. Good catch! Let us know if there's anything else we can help with, and happy editing!

This new draft page Draft:Ivo_D._Dinov was been brashly declined by User:SafariScribe. I'm writing to get a better understanding from other wikipedia editors that can review the content of the draft and confirm if it indeed meets the academic-specific criteria? There were plenty of reliable sources provided in the draft article, so I'm not really certain if hte quick response reflects a real review. Here are the details:

I need to know what is wrong with this submission. A general denial isnt helpful Draft:Kenyon Dixon Monniejaym ( talk) 19:39, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Interviews are not independent sources, YouTube is not a reliable source and Soundcloud is a primary source.That is not general. It is quite specific. Cullen328 ( talk) 19:46, 31 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi wikipedia colleagues, I am spending more time on AfD discussions and have a question about policy. What is the policy on inviting uninvolved editors and admins to an open AfD discussion that has been re-listed to gain more voices? Rockycape ( talk) 23:01, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
In
History of Constantinople, there's this text: but was defeated by the [[Rus'–Byzantine War (941)|Byzantine squadron a]]<nowiki/>t the entrance to the Bosphorus with the help of "Greek fire".
I've never seen this before. What exactly is that <nowiki/>
doing?. I'm guessing it's there because of the special character in the article title. Could someone explain?

Byzantine squadron at
into a link but only selected Byzantine squadron a
(without the t
) before clicking a button to add the link. Because of how wikilinks render, without the <nowiki/>
, the entire Byzantine squadron at
would become a link, so Visual Editor inserted the tag to prevent that.
[[article|squadron a]]<nowiki/>t
→
squadron at (the t
isn't linked)[[article|squadron a]]t
→
squadron at (the t
is linked)<tag/>
is equivalent to <tag></tag>
; it just represents both the opening and closing tags with nothing in between.

Currently, I'm trying to bring this article to FA status. One problem is that there are too many citations in the gameplay section. How can I solve this? Thanks, TWOrantulaTM ( enter the web) 00:14, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
I'm relatively new here and I was wondering how I can add an image without worrying about the copyright and that legal stuff. I want to make sure I add the right image and learn how to put certain tags or image credit. I don't want to worry about my account getting suspended/deleted due to a copyright infraction, any way for some help on this?

I recently ran across an editor with less than 75 edits. Based on their edit summaries, they seem to have always understood Wikipedia "shorthand," if you will. I also noticed the edits seem very style-oriented and less about correction of facts. To me, that seems like a more experienced editor. However, I may be wrong. Is it fairly common for some to edit in that way from the start? I will note, my suspicion is entirely an impression, not based on any concrete evidence. So, my question is basically this, how are "sockpuppets" discovered?
