I’ve created a draft redirect, and I want it to be a redirect that is not a draft. How can I move it? I’ve followed the instructions on W:Redirects, but I can’t move it like it says on WP:MV. Can you help me with this? Presidential Vault ( talk) 13:23, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
@ TheAwesomeHwyh:@ LPS and MLP Fan: Actually, I have a second question. Do I have to remove the template that says the article is still in the draft namespace before moving the page, or will it be removed automatically? There is an invisible comment, that says it is important, and I should remove it. Presidential Vault ( talk) 13:54, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
@ LPS and MLP Fan: I would like to ask you for help. I actually wanted to rename the page. Can I do both moving the page to main namespace and renaming it at the same time? Is there a reason for renaming the page, if both actions should be done individually? Presidential Vault ( talk) 08:05, 9 September 2019 (UTC) @ TheAwesomeHwyh: Replying to your answer for my question about the moving reason: Can I type in “Moving draft article to main namespace”, as it is said in the Wikipedia Moving guideline?

Hi I was just doing some browsing and looked at the article on the Lisbon treaty. The articles first line appears to have been edited to call it the treat of brexit. I'm not an editor but thought you would want to know. The article is Treaty of Lisbon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.29.189.161 ( talk) 16:36, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
So I'd like to create a page for the 80's comedy The Malibu Bikini Shop. The film is noteworthy as it was one of the early starring roles for Bruce Greenwood and was the last film role for Frank Nelson before he passed away. This film was actually released several months after he passed away. I can easily flesh the page out with a plot and cast listing, and the other vital data. I would like to note in advance that I am a film buff and I took two semesters of film history, for what it's worth, and I know of multiple URL's that are suitable to use in creating a page for this movie.
Please bare with me as I'm new to editing here on Wikipedia and I've never created a page on my own. I thank everyone in advance for their valuable help and advice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sportsfan1976 ( talk • contribs) 18:35, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
I understand general notability guidelines (GNG) with respect to creating a new article, but what about old articles? I've seen several "campaigns" to delete articles that have been in existence over 10 years, have a handful of citations, have over 50 edits, over a dozen contributing editors, that are on esoteric topics that are not particularly covered by mainstream media but are mentioned only in their industry (which makes it hard to adequately determine the relative/value/ranking of reliability of sources). Also, in the last several years most of the media websites have been purging their content after just two years! So, many of these older articles have no currently discoverable coverage using internet searches, and SEEM to be no longer notable.
These are topics where we know the information to be true (it was not invented) but no longer has easily findable citations to support GNG.
I've read several AfD discussions where one or two editors post some citations and the other editors just don't think that's sufficient. Then the administrator closes the AfD as 'delete'.
I don't get it. Why do we allow:
Are we trying to save storage bytes for Wikipedia servers?
Do these articles have zero historical educational purpose because there's nothing written in present time on the internet?
I assert that WP:GNG should be about whether or not an article is created, and less about why an article should be deleted. Why should information be purged from Wikipedia because someone wants to supress information/viewpoints?
Are there essays/debates in Wikipedia describing this phenomenon?

My Article on Partha Pratim Moitra has been deleted twice and I find no hope to get it through in Wiki. But in Google there is still the reference. Is there any way to remove that reference from google? I have rewritten the article, as per guidance from the person who first time deleted my article. Now I understand I am not worth.

Dear Wikipedia people,
This is my first post here, so thank you for reading, if anyone is.
I belief this article to be a gross mischaracterization of both William F. Buckley and Milton Friedman. They never had any part of this odd Christian organization.
I understand that it's part of a series on conservatism in the United States, but I believe that a percentage of readers will not notice that and will assume that the faces on the article will be of members of the organization.
You might not be conservative, but you must realize that this is an unfair representation.
Thank you.

If you look at the infobox, it says This is part of a series of Conservativism in the United States, and it has the pictures of six men, including Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater, and I doubt that they were members of the organization. But that is irrelevant to the description in the infobox, which is conservativism in the United States. I see no problem here for all six are accepted representatives of conservativism in the United States. The info box is NOT labeled The Fellowship. Oldperson ( talk) 01:44, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

I've been wanting this question to be answered.
Hi Teahouse folks,
I have made a few smaller edits to the Edmund de Waal entry, and now realised that it probably needs a complete clean up/edit/re-write to comply with Wikipedia policies so that perhaps the "A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia's content policies, particularly neutral point of view. Please discuss further on the talk page. (July 2016)" banner at the top can be removed and so that the entry is more neutral and aligned with Wikipedia's policies.
I was wondering if someone could have a look through the entry and help me identify what may be worth removing and cleaning up so I can learn this for further edits on other pages? I'm unsure if maybe it just needs more citing or links, or if perhaps there is just too much unnecessary information included and it all needs to be simplified. I thought I'd use this entry as a starting point in identifying entries that need a clean up.
Any help would be appreciated.
Fieldguide ( talk) 06:48, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for your help and explanation! I can confirm that I do not work for the artist and don't have a conflict of interest in regards to having any connection to them, paid or unpaid. I'm a little unsure what to add to my user page, but I have added my location (Melbourne, Australia) and can add more information later. I read on the talk page of the entry that there was some content that someone working with him wanted to be added, so I thought that would be a good thing to try being new to Wiki editing. I'm currently doing a writing course (de Waal's work was brought up in a lecture, hence me finding his Wiki entry) and thought that Wiki editing would be helpful in helping myself copy edit my own work, so here I am a newbie at Wiki editing at 38. I will certainly take your advice on board when editing the page, there seems to be a lot of talking around the same content and maybe too many exhibitions talked about instead of maybe having a more concise summary of his career. Do you think it's wise to look at other similar artist entries to gain some insight into what is usually added to such an entry? Fieldguide ( talk) 10:52, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

I wasn't able to find an editing policy on edits and images that incite to crime. For example, this image inciting people to set fire to refugee centers was added to several pages without any apparent reason other than to promote hate and crime against refugees. I can imagine that it could even be put back in the article immigration detention if that already had a discusson of hatred and violence against refugees and already had other images showing immigration detention or reception centers. -- Espoo ( talk) 11:32, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

(July 2016)" banner at the top can be removed and so that the entry is more neutral and aligned with Wikipedia's policies.
I was wondering if someone could have a look through the entry and help me identify what may be worth removing and cleaning up so I can learn this for further edits on other pages? I'm unsure if maybe it just needs more citing or links, or if perhaps there is just too much unnecessary information included and it all needs to be simplified. I thought I'd use this entry as a starting point in identifying entries that need a clean up.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help and explanation! I can confirm that I do not work for the artist and don't have a conflict of interest in regards to having any connection to them, paid or unpaid. I'm a little unsure what to add to my user page, but I have added my location (Melbourne, Australia) and can add more information later. I read on the talk page of the entry that there was some content that someone working with him wanted to be added, so I thought that would be a good thing to try being new to Wiki editing. I'm currently doing a writing course (de Waal's work was brought up in a lecture, hence me finding his Wiki entry) and thought that Wiki editing would be helpful in helping myself copy edit my own work, so here I am a newbie at Wiki editing at 38. I will certainly take your advice on board when editing the page, there seems to be a lot of talking around the same content and maybe too many exhibitions talked about instead of maybe having a more concise summary of his career. Do you think it's wise to look at other similar artist entries to gain some insight into what is usually added to such an entry? Fieldguide ( talk) 10:52, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
Hello. Please let me know what I should add to my draft: Draft:Susumu Nishibe to make it an article. Thanks. Nishibe0121 ( talk) 05:14, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
I wasn't able to find an editing policy on edits and images that incite to crime. For example, this image inciting people to set fire to refugee centers was added to several pages without any apparent reason other than to promote hate and crime against refugees. I can imagine that it could even be put back in the article immigration detention if that already had a discusson of hatred and violence against refugees and already had other images showing immigration detention or reception centers. -- Espoo ( talk) 11:32, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

When translating into Simple English or German form English, how do I handle references? Do they stay the same or can I just say it's a translation and exclude references for the original language? Help would be appreciated. TheDougster27 ( talk) 17:50, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
{{cite web|url=|title=|language=|accessdate=}}
Here I have shown the citation with the required parameters, but with the language parameter included. Another example is:
{{cite web |url=http://www.example.org/ |title=Honi soit qui mal y pense |last=Joliet |first=François |date=30 April 2005 |access-date=15 September 2019 |language=French |trans-title=Shame on those who think evil of it}}

I recently got a message saying an edit I made has been undone... but I have never to my knowledge ever edited any page. Is it possible my IP address has been hijacked, and if so , how do I stop this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.135.108.35 ( talk) 16:14, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
