Hi, I'm trying to update a wiki page as I have often done. However this one is entitled "Calendar reform" and people seem to be a lot more interested in and critical of changes. I am trying to separate out the old meaning of "Calendar reform" from the newer meanings, something the article seems to have neglected. Even the subscript of the Page title says it has more than one meaning "Calendar reform or calendrical reform, is any significant revision of a calendar system. The term sometimes is used instead for a proposal to switch to a different calendar design." It seems logical to explain what is meant by a "significant revision" as opposed to ones that could be called insignificant. Or whether the term is being used within the article to indicate a proposal instead of an actual reform. When I first read the article I had assumed it was only about proposals for reform as historic calendar reforms are far better covered and cited under the separate calendar pages already in Wikipedia.
In short, word definitions are important in this page to sort the confusion but other editors delete them as not properly referenced, whether I use dictionaries or quotes from original works for how words were used in the past (they say they are outdated). Any suggestions? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tgru001 ( talk • contribs) 09:13, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

My uncle Don Clark was a first round draft pick of the Chicago Bears when he played for ohio state. He is listed in this wiki page:
/info/en/?search=List_of_Chicago_Bears_first-round_draft_picks
When you click on his name for the 1959 draft year it does not bring you to the correct Don Clark:
/info/en/?search=Don_Clark_(Canadian_football)
Instead it takes you to a different Don Clark:
/info/en/?search=Don_Clark_(American_football)

Hi there!
I am a global editor at IWG and would like to update our (rather out of date) Wikipedia page. This is the first time I am updating a page on Wikipedia, so any advice and support would be great.
My questions are:
- Can I restructure the existing information to make the page easier to read? - If I remove any of the information currently on the page, will there be an issue?

Hello, I'm Kelsie, and I've submitted a couple edit requests at Talk:3M on behalf of my employer, 3M. Both of my requests to update text in the introduction and replace unsourced and inaccurate lists with sourced prose have been approved by another editor, but they are not sure how to update the article's markup on my behalf. I've posted a request for help at Wikipedia:Editor_assistance/Requests#Help_copying_over_markup_for_approved_edit_requests., but so far no one has replied. Perhaps someone here is able to help? I've tried to make the markup as easy to copy and paste as possible. Thanks! KM at 3M ( talk) 13:44, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Two years ago I made up a table of members of ˝la komitato˝, let me call ik the Esperanto ParliamentBecauce the table would be too big, to contain all members from 1986 up to 2018, I split it into seven subtables. • Komitatanoj A-C 1986-2018 • Komitatanoj D-G 1986-2018 • Komitatanoj H-J 1986-2018 • Komitatanoj K-L 1986-2018 • Komitatanoj M-P 1986-2018 • Komitatanoj R-S 1986-2018 • Komitatanoj T-Z 1986-2018 I added to each of the lists the new members of 2019 and .................. I tried • to change the titels into Komitatanoj A-C 1986-2020 and so on.for each subtable. That was a bad idea, because in such a way I have to change all seven titles each year and I do not succeed to change even one title! Could anybody help me?

Hello and thanks for this helpful forum! I'm writing to make sure that the article for Katharina Stenbeck is set up correctly. The article used to have the title "Galleriet", but the title was appropriately changed to "Katharina Stenbeck" back in March. However, when one begins typing in the name "Katharina Stenbeck" into the search bar of a Safari browser, the suggested Wikipedia article that pops up still has the title "Galleriet" (but, when clicked on, it takes you to the Wikipedia article correctly titled "Katharina Stenbeck"). When "Katharina Stenbeck" is searched for in a search engine, the Wikipedia article comes up correctly in the search results, so this problem only relates to that "auto-suggestion" function that Safari has when you type a name directly into the search bar. Will this eventually update on its own, or is there a reason that the Safari search bar is still pulling up the old article title?
Here's hoping you'll be able to test this out in a Safari search bar on your end to see what I mean (I don't believe old cookies on my devices could be the culprit, but perhaps it's possible).

mathematical fact, but you might want to take a look at Wikipedia:No original research as well as item 1 of Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought to make sure the article you want to create is suitable for Wikipedia. You might also want to ask for feed back at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics since that's where your likely to find editors experienced in creating and editing articles about mathematics. No disrespect is intended, but I'd imagine that most "mathematical facts" which meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for an article most likely already have Wikipedia articles written about them. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 05:40, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
Dear Marchjuly, thanks for your points. I would like to write a wikipedia article about a mathematical fact which has been recently published in a Journal (so not original). I doubt there is already a wikipedia page about it. I am then looking for an adopter, English native speaker and with a background in mathematics. I will follow your suggestion to ask a feed back at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics. About the notability I am not really sure: the argument is interesting and the source is reliable, but the paper did not received "significant" coverage yet probably.

Hi everyone. While doing some research I was looking at the vertical farming article and, well, as the warning box at the top of the page says it has problems. I added a little bit on current usage of containerised farms in northern Canada and Alaska, but I feel like what it really needs is a complete rewrite, probably keeping a fair bit of what is already there, but re-structuring it to make it more readable and putting current practical applications ahead of aspirations. This is not something I've ever done though (and I'm a bit nervous about taking on such a task) so I'm wondering if anyone has some advice. Thanks. Physdragon ( talk) 16:06, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

I have long thought that we (English Wikipedia) should display an article's quality assessment, e.g., "stub" or "B-class", to all visitors. If I understand it correctly, we currently display an article's quality only to registered users who have specifically requested it via Preferences > Gadgets > Display an assessment of an article's quality in its page header. // If you are familiar with past discussions of this topic and can explain why we don't display an article quality's assessment to all visitors, that would be awesome. But that might take too long, and I know y'all (Teahouse volunteers) are very busy. Therefore, as an alternative, if you know how I can find past discussions of this topic that would be great. In that case, I can go read up on the whys and wherefores. (I searched through Help but could not find anything on this topic.) Thanks! - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) (I am a man.

Wouldn't it generally be preferable to use a page from the company's own website to cite information such as the headquarters address, assuming they provide that info on their website?

I am slowly honing my editing skills and have over 10 edits to my name. I have been guided by experienced editors such as ThatMontrealIP and I now want to try my hand at creating a new article. I am a rhythm guitarist in a group of musicians. We believe that some of the songs we have written and performed could become popular if they were heard by the wider world. When I googled "letting independent and unsigned artists spread their music", I found Bandcamp and DittoMusic. I also found UnsignedOnly [1] and Tunecrank [2] . All four of these websites give budding musicians an opportunity to have their music heard. However, the thought occurred to me - why do two of these have a Wikipedia article and the other two don't? Perhaps either UnsignedOnly or Tunecrank could be a good place for me to create my first article! My reasoning is that if Bandcamp and DittoMusic warrant an article then surely so do UnsignedOnly and Tunecrank? Quoting from WP:GNG, I believe these two have "gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, and are not outside the scope of Wikipedia". Delving deeper into each I believe I have "evidence from reliable and independent sources to gauge this attention". Do you agree I should have a go at one of them?

I was wondering how I create indents, bold text, and the line under a section. I am quite new to Wikipedia and I have not found out how to create styling. Furthermore, I was wondering how far the Conflict of Intrest rules go. Hypothetically, if I were a student at an academic institution, would I be able to edit the article of that institution by adding facts and citations? Would I not be able to edit articles about institutions near my acidemic institution if there are rivalries between the schools? I was also wounder how talk pages work, it appears to me like anyone can use whatever styling they want on a page. Is that correct? If so what styling should I use on talk pages to make my questions/answers easy to read? Lastly, I was wondering where I would be able to find information on when an article should be placed in the deletion process. Any help would be very welcome as I look to grow my editing abilities.

01:28, 4 October 2019 (UTC)Hello,
I am an Australian actor, but I was actually born in London UK, yet Wikipedia states I was born in Sydney Australia. I would appreciate that information corrected. I've corrected it myself twice, but a user called Petereye2005 has changed my edits, reverting them to what he believes is the truth - based on a citation from The Greek Hollywood Reporter publication, which does (wrongly) state that I was born in Sydney, like my sisters. I was not; as I said, I was born in London. It's only a little thing, I suppose, but I'm very frustrated that Wikipedia is advertising something which isn't true about me. I can't find another published article to use as a citation myself, so can you advise what I can do, please?
Kind regards,

Hi, I've been editing on here for a few months but I'm still learning the ropes.! I've been concentrating my efforts on articles relating to Shetland. Many of the articles that are on here were imported from another wiki that existed many years ago called Shetlopedia. I'm not sure what exactly happened, however the website went down a long time ago and I think it's safe to say it probably isn't ever coming back. The thing is, many articles on here still link to it for external links and such. I believe there's also a template that states where the article was imported from. Is there any proper procedure to have these links looked into to have them removed / replaced with archive versions / updated / etc.? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Griceylipper ( talk • contribs) 21:50, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
Jewish music § Nineteenth-century synagogue music begins as follows. The boldface superscripts are the tags I've just added, but I'm not satisfied that they do the job.
This quotation is the only support offered for "By the late eighteenth century, music in European synagogues had sunk to a low standard," which as it stands is one-sided.
The linked talk page section is what I just posted there. But I don't think that {{ Lopsided}} really describes the problem appropriately. I found the documentation extremely confusing. It says
But when I tried to use those parameters, the output was just my wikicode, displayed as plain text.

Hello.
I tried to add links to two pages about the current state of war sites in Vietnam. There are similar links for the sites at Quan Loi and Phouc Vinh, but they seem to be pasted in to the description so the link doesn't show. Is that the problem? That I just pasted them openly?

I see now, thank you. It is not a travel website as in selling tours. It is a website describing the history of war sites in Vietnam and what they look like today. However it is my website so I understand the conflict of interest. I posted the link there and for the battle of Hamburger Hill also as we frequently get questions from people who wants advice on how to get to these places of just to see what they look like today. It is a part of a larger not for profit project we are running to help veterans and those interested in learning more about the history. I do understand now that I can't put these links up though.

I see, thank you. Well there is no payment whatsoever involved as we don't even have ads on the website and we received no money from other sources either, this is all out of our own pockets as learning about this part of history is our passion. It does have some encyclopedic value I believe as we are uncovering history in some of these places. On Hamburger Hill for example, we are running a project with the veterans from the battle to map and locate the actual battle sites that are away from the area where people normally visit. It was a large battle during the war, but surprisingly little has been investigated on the site since then. We were likely the first foreign visitors to the area since the war, at least that knew what we were looking at. I have not discovered any other documentation on that. Same for LZ Peanuts which was a smaller battle just after Operation Pegasus in the Khe Sanh area. The whole project has become so vast over the years that it's hard to describe here. I might make the request later on as I think it does have some value. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vietnam History ( talk • contribs) 08:33, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Varna status
The Hindu varna system is unclear on Jat status within the caste system. Some sources state that Jats are regarded as Kshatriyas[68] or "degraded Kshatriyas" who, as they did not observe Brahmanic rites and rituals, had fallen to the status of Shudra.[69] Uma Chakravarti reports that the varna status of the Jats improved over time, with the Jats starting in the untouchable/chandala varna during the eighth century, changing to shudra status by the 11th century, and with some Jats striving for zamindar status after the Jat rebellion of the 17th century.[70][page needed] The Rajputs refused to accept Jat claims to Kshatriya status during the later years of the British Raj and this disagreement frequently resulted in violent incidents between the two communities.[71] The claim at that time of Kshatriya status was being made by the Arya Samaj, which was popular in the Jat community. The Arya Samaj saw it as a means to counter the colonial belief that the Jats were not of Aryan descent but of Indo-Scythian origin.[72] |

Statement 1.<ref>Citation 1</ref> Statement 2.<ref>Citation 2</ref>
, and the actual citation would look like Statement 1.
[1] Statement 2
[2]
in the body of the article with the number in brackets being the footnote marker (the numbers are automatically added in accordance with the order the citations are added, i.e. [1] is the first citation cited in the article; so, you don't need to add them manually).Once you've added all of the citations to the body of the article, the next thing to do is to make sure they are displayed in the proper section of the article. The way to do that is by creating a "References" section (the syntax is == References ==
) as the last section of the article (it's sometimes not actually the last section though; see
WP:ORDER for more on this), and then add
Template:Reflist to that section (the syntax looks like {{reflist}}
). It's important to add this template because it will tell the software where to display the citations within the article. If you forget to add this template, the software will list all of the citations at the bottom of the page (which might not necessarily be the "References" section) by default and keep pushing them to the bottom of the page any time a new section is added to the article. If you've added the citations correctly to the body of the article and then added the "Reflist" template to the references section, the citations should be displayed like below:^
" symbol at the beginning of the full citation will bring back to where it's located in the body of the article.You should try and provide as much information about the source as possible as
WP:CITEHOW, especially if you're citing content that cannot be found online, because doing so makes it much easier for others to assess the
reliability of the source. If you're creating a new article, then how you format the citation is kind of up to you; lots of people like to use
citation templates, but you're not required to do so. The most important thing to try and remember is to try and be as consistent as possible when citing sources so that the same style is used for all the citations per
WP:CITESTYLE. If you're adding citations to an already created article, then you should use the style established by the first major contributor to the article per
WP:CITEVAR. --

This change https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Winifred_Gérin&type=revision&diff=714556935&oldid=712793472 claims that Charles Frederick Bourne died in 1928, whereas date of death was previously unknown, and no citation has been added. The existing citation is from a published book, not accessible (to me, at least) online.
The change was made a few years ago, and given the lack of any explanation, it just seems mischievous (I'm biased because this same editor added a zoominfo link (questionable IMO) as well as other edits with no good reason (e.g. removal of commas that should not have been removed).

I am working on creating articles for tributaries to the Haw River in North Carolina, USA. In doing so, I have come upon two tributaries (Terrells Creek) that have the same name and are within 2 river miles of one another. Generally, the tributary would be named--Terrells Creek (Haw River tributary). However, in this case, there would be two of the same. The two tributaries are on opposing sides of the river and because of this I have thought about naming them "Terrells Creek, Left Bank (Haw River tributary)" and "Terrells Creek, Right Bank (Haw River tributary)."
What are your thoughts on the above naming proposal and/or is there an established way of handling this situation?
Thank you in advance. Veg Mapper ( talk) 02:51, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for all of the comments. I have decided to go with left bank and right bank. In proceeding through the tributaries of the Haw River, I encountered a similar situation with Cane Creek. Like, Terrells Creek, there is a Cane Creek on the left bank and one on the right bank. I think using the bank position defines them as long there are not two streams of the same name on the same bank side. Again, thank you. Veg Mapper ( talk) 21:33, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
Hello,
I have made mostly minor edits (grammar, clarifying ambiguous language, etc) since I started editing Wikipedia.
About two years ago, I was trying to find information about a small-ish phone manufacturer. Wikipedia did not have an article about them, but if I recall correctly they were mentioned on another Wikipedia article or list. I had enough information to create at least a basic page. I also thought that this page would meet the Wikipedia:Notability requirements because this manufacturer sold a phone with a built-in battery much larger than any others (at least that I was aware of) at that time. I created the page, but before I was able to add much content, it was nominated for speedy deletion. Before I was able to contest it or explain why I thought it was notable, it was deleted. What I did next was recreate the page. I now realize that this was a mistake. I thought that the topic was notable enough to deserve its own page, but since I had only written one or two sentences (something along the lines of "Ulefone is a Chinese smartphone manufacturer based in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province."), there was no reason for the admin who deleted it to think it was notable. I hoped that if I recreated it, I would have time to add enough content that it would not be speedily deleted. Again, within minutes, it was nominated for speedy deletion and deleted.
What happened is that my user talk page User_talk:Danielmctech now has two sections on it discussing the speedy deletion of the article I created twice, and one telling me to read Wikipedia guidelines/tutorials on how to write articles.
I was very frustrated and gave up making Wikipedia contributions for a while. In the past few months, I have started again, still only making small changes. (See Special:Contributions/Danielmctech If you look at my "user contributions" , you can see I only made two edits in the entire year of 2018.
I want to start making more and larger contributions to Wikipedia, but I am embarrassed that this is the only thing on my talk page. (I don't intend to create more new articles unless they clearly meet notability criteria, and even then I will probably suggest it somewhere appropriate and wait for feedback before doing so.)
I would like to archive/hide/remove the sections and put my past behind me, if possible.
However, I do not want to incur the wrath of the Wikipedia deities and/or admins. I am somewhat confused about the rules for deleting this. Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines#User_talk_pages says "Users may freely remove comments from their own talk pages" but also says "There are certain types of notices that users may not remove from their own talk pages, such as declined unblock requests and speedy deletion tags". It then links to Wikipedia:User_pages#Removal_of_comments,_notices,_and_warnings which says users often delete comments on their own talk pages if they have read and understand them and the problem has been solved.
The problem has been solved, as the page no longer exists, and I understand why it was deleted. I now agree that this topic might not notable enough to deserve its own page.
It is clear that I can't remove a speedy deletion tag on my page (saying that my page should be deleted). What is not clear to me is whether the sections on my talk page constitute speedy deletion tags, meaning I can't remove them, or are simply comments saying other pages I created have these tags.
Please Explain. Thanks!

I spent hours/days try to improve a web page that was fundamentally bad - incorrect, misleading, fragmented, lots of repeated information. Because I am an expert in the field, I had the great idea of improving it. I spent hours and days on this, only to have it all rejected by wikipedia. There seems to be a circular argument. They want experts but when experts try to improve they are thought to be promoting themselves and the improvement rejected. What I wrote was excellent, concise, well referenced, researched and informative. Most importantly it was correct. So, how do I improve a page that includes citations to my own work?

The article 1996 California Proposition 218 had ~300,000 page views this past 30 days, and about the same for the previous 30 day span. In the previous 30 day span, I also noticed relatively normal visits, with ENORMOUS spikes occurring once weekly, on Fridays, if I recall correctly.
For background, anyone who lives or has lived in California since ~1980 would be familiar with 1978 California Proposition 13, a law which capped property taxes at 1% of assessed value and limited increases to 2% per year. That article gets ~15,000 page views per month. The Prop218 above is a relatively minor law which followed Prop 13, allowing more ability for voters to vote on new taxes, so my first guess would be that it SHOULD be seeing less than half the 15,000 page views, or somewhere below ~7,000 page views, for my guess at a higher bound.
I'm wondering whether someone is running a bot to generate very high page views for the Prop218 article, but I have no guess as to WHY someone would do that. Either way, this is really strange, and thought that I should bring this to someone's attention, who has more ability to investigate this than me.--- Avatar317 (talk) 04:38, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I'm trying to update a wiki page as I have often done. However this one is entitled "Calendar reform" and people seem to be a lot more interested in and critical of changes. I am trying to separate out the old meaning of "Calendar reform" from the newer meanings, something the article seems to have neglected. Even the subscript of the Page title says it has more than one meaning "Calendar reform or calendrical reform, is any significant revision of a calendar system. The term sometimes is used instead for a proposal to switch to a different calendar design." It seems logical to explain what is meant by a "significant revision" as opposed to ones that could be called insignificant. Or whether the term is being used within the article to indicate a proposal instead of an actual reform. When I first read the article I had assumed it was only about proposals for reform as historic calendar reforms are far better covered and cited under the separate calendar pages already in Wikipedia.

My uncle Don Clark was a first round draft pick of the Chicago Bears when he played for ohio state. He is listed in this wiki page:
/info/en/?search=List_of_Chicago_Bears_first-round_draft_picks
When you click on his name for the 1959 draft year it does not bring you to the correct Don Clark:
/info/en/?search=Don_Clark_(Canadian_football)
Instead it takes you to a different Don Clark:
/info/en/?search=Don_Clark_(American_football)

Hi there!
I am a global editor at IWG and would like to update our (rather out of date) Wikipedia page. This is the first time I am updating a page on Wikipedia, so any advice and support would be great.
My questions are:
- Can I restructure the existing information to make the page easier to read? - If I remove any of the information currently on the page, will there be an issue?

Hello, I'm Kelsie, and I've submitted a couple edit requests at Talk:3M on behalf of my employer, 3M. Both of my requests to update text in the introduction and replace unsourced and inaccurate lists with sourced prose have been approved by another editor, but they are not sure how to update the article's markup on my behalf. I've posted a request for help at Wikipedia:Editor_assistance/Requests#Help_copying_over_markup_for_approved_edit_requests., but so far no one has replied. Perhaps someone here is able to help?

Two years ago I made up a table of members of ˝la komitato˝, let me call ik the Esperanto ParliamentBecauce the table would be too big, to contain all members from 1986 up to 2018, I split it into seven subtables. • Komitatanoj A-C 1986-2018 • Komitatanoj D-G 1986-2018 • Komitatanoj H-J 1986-2018 • Komitatanoj K-L 1986-2018 • Komitatanoj M-P 1986-2018 • Komitatanoj R-S 1986-2018 • Komitatanoj T-Z 1986-2018 I added to each of the lists the new members of 2019 and .................. I tried • to change the titels into Komitatanoj A-C 1986-2020 and so on.for each subtable.

Hello and thanks for this helpful forum! I'm writing to make sure that the article for Katharina Stenbeck is set up correctly. The article used to have the title "Galleriet", but the title was appropriately changed to "Katharina Stenbeck" back in March. However, when one begins typing in the name "Katharina Stenbeck" into the search bar of a Safari browser, the suggested Wikipedia article that pops up still has the title "Galleriet" (but, when clicked on, it takes you to the Wikipedia article correctly titled "Katharina Stenbeck"). When "Katharina Stenbeck" is searched for in a search engine, the Wikipedia article comes up correctly in the search results, so this problem only relates to that "auto-suggestion" function that Safari has when you type a name directly into the search bar. Will this eventually update on its own, or is there a reason that the Safari search bar is still pulling up the old article title?
Here's hoping you'll be able to test this out in a Safari search bar on your end to see what I mean (I don't believe old cookies on my devices could be the culprit, but perhaps it's possible).

mathematical fact, but you might want to take a look at Wikipedia:No original research as well as item 1 of Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought to make sure the article you want to create is suitable for Wikipedia. You might also want to ask for feed back at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics since that's where your likely to find editors experienced in creating and editing articles about mathematics. No disrespect is intended, but I'd imagine that most "mathematical facts" which meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for an article most likely already have Wikipedia articles written about them. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 05:40, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
Dear Marchjuly, thanks for your points. I would like to write a wikipedia article about a mathematical fact which has been recently published in a Journal (so not original). I doubt there is already a wikipedia page about it. I am then looking for an adopter, English native speaker and with a background in mathematics. I will follow your suggestion to ask a feed back at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics.

Hi everyone. While doing some research I was looking at the vertical farming article and, well, as the warning box at the top of the page says it has problems.

I have long thought that we (English Wikipedia) should display an article's quality assessment, e.g., "stub" or "B-class", to all visitors. If I understand it correctly, we currently display an article's quality only to registered users who have specifically requested it via Preferences > Gadgets > Display an assessment of an article's quality in its page header. // If you are familiar with past discussions of this topic and can explain why we don't display an article quality's assessment to all visitors, that would be awesome. But that might take too long, and I know y'all (Teahouse volunteers) are very busy. Therefore, as an alternative, if you know how I can find past discussions of this topic that would be great. In that case, I can go read up on the whys and wherefores. (I searched through Help but could not find anything on this topic.) Thanks! - Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) (I am a man.

I am slowly honing my editing skills and have over 10 edits to my name. I have been guided by experienced editors such as ThatMontrealIP and I now want to try my hand at creating a new article. I am a rhythm guitarist in a group of musicians. We believe that some of the songs we have written and performed could become popular if they were heard by the wider world. When I googled "letting independent and unsigned artists spread their music", I found Bandcamp and DittoMusic. I also found UnsignedOnly [1] and Tunecrank [2] . All four of these websites give budding musicians an opportunity to have their music heard. However, the thought occurred to me - why do two of these have a Wikipedia article and the other two don't? Perhaps either UnsignedOnly or Tunecrank could be a good place for me to create my first article! My reasoning is that if Bandcamp and DittoMusic warrant an article then surely so do UnsignedOnly and Tunecrank? Quoting from WP:GNG, I believe these two have "gained sufficiently significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time, and are not outside the scope of Wikipedia". Delving deeper into each I believe I have "evidence from reliable and independent sources to gauge this attention". Do you agree I should have a go at one of them?

I was wondering how I create indents, bold text, and the line under a section. I am quite new to Wikipedia and I have not found out how to create styling. Furthermore, I was wondering how far the Conflict of Intrest rules go. Hypothetically, if I were a student at an academic institution, would I be able to edit the article of that institution by adding facts and citations? Would I not be able to edit articles about institutions near my acidemic institution if there are rivalries between the schools? I was also wounder how talk pages work, it appears to me like anyone can use whatever styling they want on a page. Is that correct? If so what styling should I use on talk pages to make my questions/answers easy to read? Lastly, I was wondering where I would be able to find information on when an article should be placed in the deletion process. Any help would be very welcome as I look to grow my editing abilities.

'''three apostrophes'''
; underlines are written <u>like so</u>
. None of those three things is typically a good idea in articles, but can be useful in talk pages. Being a student of an academic institution is not enough to raise
WP:COI concerns. All articles have to be entirely neutral, though, so if you found yourself at all tempted to make your own institution look good or another look bad, that would be the time to step far away. Talk pages are actually very regular in their formatting, and it's a good idea to learn how that works. See
WP:Talk page guidelines and in particular
Help:Talk pages § Indentation for helpful detail. As for deletion, take a look at

01:28, 4 October 2019 (UTC)Hello,
I am an Australian actor, but I was actually born in London UK, yet Wikipedia states I was born in Sydney Australia. I would appreciate that information corrected. I've corrected it myself twice, but a user called Petereye2005 has changed my edits, reverting them to what he believes is the truth - based on a citation from The Greek Hollywood Reporter publication, which does (wrongly) state that I was born in Sydney, like my sisters. I was not; as I said, I was born in London. It's only a little thing, I suppose, but I'm very frustrated that Wikipedia is advertising something which isn't true about me. I can't find another published article to use as a citation myself, so can you advise what I can do, please?

Hi, I've been editing on here for a few months but I'm still learning the ropes.! I've been concentrating my efforts on articles relating to Shetland. Many of the articles that are on here were imported from another wiki that existed many years ago called Shetlopedia. I'm not sure what exactly happened, however the website went down a long time ago and I think it's safe to say it probably isn't ever coming back. The thing is, many articles on here still link to it for external links and such. I believe there's also a template that states where the article was imported from. Is there any proper procedure to have these links looked into to have them removed / replaced with archive versions / updated / etc.? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Griceylipper ( talk • contribs) 21:50, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
Jewish music § Nineteenth-century synagogue music begins as follows. The boldface superscripts are the tags I've just added, but I'm not satisfied that they do the job.
This quotation is the only support offered for "By the late eighteenth century, music in European synagogues had sunk to a low standard," which as it stands is one-sided.
The linked talk page section is what I just posted there. But I don't think that {{ Lopsided}} really describes the problem appropriately. I found the documentation extremely confusing. It says
But when I tried to use those parameters, the output was just my wikicode, displayed as plain text.

Hello.
I tried to add links to two pages about the current state of war sites in Vietnam. There are similar links for the sites at Quan Loi and Phouc Vinh, but they seem to be pasted in to the description so the link doesn't show. Is that the problem? That I just pasted them openly?

I see now, thank you. It is not a travel website as in selling tours. It is a website describing the history of war sites in Vietnam and what they look like today. However it is my website so I understand the conflict of interest. I posted the link there and for the battle of Hamburger Hill also as we frequently get questions from people who wants advice on how to get to these places of just to see what they look like today. It is a part of a larger not for profit project we are running to help veterans and those interested in learning more about the history. I do understand now that I can't put these links up though.

I see, thank you. Well there is no payment whatsoever involved as we don't even have ads on the website and we received no money from other sources either, this is all out of our own pockets as learning about this part of history is our passion. It does have some encyclopedic value I believe as we are uncovering history in some of these places. On Hamburger Hill for example, we are running a project with the veterans from the battle to map and locate the actual battle sites that are away from the area where people normally visit. It was a large battle during the war, but surprisingly little has been investigated on the site since then. We were likely the first foreign visitors to the area since the war, at least that knew what we were looking at. I have not discovered any other documentation on that. Same for LZ Peanuts which was a smaller battle just after Operation Pegasus in the Khe Sanh area. The whole project has become so vast over the years that it's hard to describe here. I might make the request later on as I think it does have some value. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vietnam History ( talk • contribs) 08:33, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Varna status
The Hindu varna system is unclear on Jat status within the caste system. Some sources state that Jats are regarded as Kshatriyas[68] or "degraded Kshatriyas" who, as they did not observe Brahmanic rites and rituals, had fallen to the status of Shudra.[69] Uma Chakravarti reports that the varna status of the Jats improved over time, with the Jats starting in the untouchable/chandala varna during the eighth century, changing to shudra status by the 11th century, and with some Jats striving for zamindar status after the Jat rebellion of the 17th century.[70][page needed] The Rajputs refused to accept Jat claims to Kshatriya status during the later years of the British Raj and this disagreement frequently resulted in violent incidents between the two communities.[71] The claim at that time of Kshatriya status was being made by the Arya Samaj, which was popular in the Jat community. The Arya Samaj saw it as a means to counter the colonial belief that the Jats were not of Aryan descent but of Indo-Scythian origin.[72] |

Statement 1.<ref>Citation 1</ref> Statement 2.<ref>Citation 2</ref>
, and the actual citation would look like Statement 1.
[1] Statement 2
[2]
in the body of the article with the number in brackets being the footnote marker (the numbers are automatically added in accordance with the order the citations are added, i.e. [1] is the first citation cited in the article; so, you don't need to add them manually).Once you've added all of the citations to the body of the article, the next thing to do is to make sure they are displayed in the proper section of the article. The way to do that is by creating a "References" section (the syntax is == References ==
) as the last section of the article (it's sometimes not actually the last section though; see
WP:ORDER for more on this), and then add
Template:Reflist to that section (the syntax looks like {{reflist}}
). It's important to add this template because it will tell the software where to display the citations within the article. If you forget to add this template, the software will list all of the citations at the bottom of the page (which might not necessarily be the "References" section) by default and keep pushing them to the bottom of the page any time a new section is added to the article. If you've added the citations correctly to the body of the article and then added the "Reflist" template to the references section, the citations should be displayed like below:^
" symbol at the beginning of the full citation will bring back to where it's located in the body of the article.You should try and provide as much information about the source as possible as
WP:CITEHOW, especially if you're citing content that cannot be found online, because doing so makes it much easier for others to assess the
reliability of the source. If you're creating a new article, then how you format the citation is kind of up to you; lots of people like to use
citation templates, but you're not required to do so. The most important thing to try and remember is to try and be as consistent as possible when citing sources so that the same style is used for all the citations per
WP:CITESTYLE. If you're adding citations to an already created article, then you should use the style established by the first major contributor to the article per
WP:CITEVAR. --

This change https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Winifred_Gérin&type=revision&diff=714556935&oldid=712793472 claims that Charles Frederick Bourne died in 1928, whereas date of death was previously unknown, and no citation has been added. The existing citation is from a published book, not accessible (to me, at least) online.
The change was made a few years ago, and given the lack of any explanation, it just seems mischievous (I'm biased because this same editor added a zoominfo link (questionable IMO) as well as other edits with no good reason (e.g. removal of commas that should not have been removed).

I am working on creating articles for tributaries to the Haw River in North Carolina, USA. In doing so, I have come upon two tributaries (Terrells Creek) that have the same name and are within 2 river miles of one another. Generally, the tributary would be named--Terrells Creek (Haw River tributary). However, in this case, there would be two of the same. The two tributaries are on opposing sides of the river and because of this I have thought about naming them "Terrells Creek, Left Bank (Haw River tributary)" and "Terrells Creek, Right Bank (Haw River tributary)."
What are your thoughts on the above naming proposal and/or is there an established way of handling this situation?
Thank you in advance. Veg Mapper ( talk) 02:51, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for all of the comments. I have decided to go with left bank and right bank. In proceeding through the tributaries of the Haw River, I encountered a similar situation with Cane Creek. Like, Terrells Creek, there is a Cane Creek on the left bank and one on the right bank. I think using the bank position defines them as long there are not two streams of the same name on the same bank side. Again, thank you. Veg Mapper ( talk) 21:33, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
Hello,
I have made mostly minor edits (grammar, clarifying ambiguous language, etc) since I started editing Wikipedia.
About two years ago, I was trying to find information about a small-ish phone manufacturer. Wikipedia did not have an article about them, but if I recall correctly they were mentioned on another Wikipedia article or list. I had enough information to create at least a basic page. I also thought that this page would meet the Wikipedia:Notability requirements because this manufacturer sold a phone with a built-in battery much larger than any others (at least that I was aware of) at that time. I created the page, but before I was able to add much content, it was nominated for speedy deletion. Before I was able to contest it or explain why I thought it was notable, it was deleted. What I did next was recreate the page. I now realize that this was a mistake. I thought that the topic was notable enough to deserve its own page, but since I had only written one or two sentences (something along the lines of "Ulefone is a Chinese smartphone manufacturer based in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province."), there was no reason for the admin who deleted it to think it was notable. I hoped that if I recreated it, I would have time to add enough content that it would not be speedily deleted. Again, within minutes, it was nominated for speedy deletion and deleted.
What happened is that my user talk page User_talk:Danielmctech now has two sections on it discussing the speedy deletion of the article I created twice, and one telling me to read Wikipedia guidelines/tutorials on how to write articles.
I was very frustrated and gave up making Wikipedia contributions for a while. In the past few months, I have started again, still only making small changes. (See Special:Contributions/Danielmctech If you look at my "user contributions" , you can see I only made two edits in the entire year of 2018.
I want to start making more and larger contributions to Wikipedia, but I am embarrassed that this is the only thing on my talk page. (I don't intend to create more new articles unless they clearly meet notability criteria, and even then I will probably suggest it somewhere appropriate and wait for feedback before doing so.)
I would like to archive/hide/remove the sections and put my past behind me, if possible.
However, I do not want to incur the wrath of the Wikipedia deities and/or admins. I am somewhat confused about the rules for deleting this. Wikipedia:Talk_page_guidelines#User_talk_pages says "Users may freely remove comments from their own talk pages" but also says "There are certain types of notices that users may not remove from their own talk pages, such as declined unblock requests and speedy deletion tags". It then links to Wikipedia:User_pages#Removal_of_comments,_notices,_and_warnings which says users often delete comments on their own talk pages if they have read and understand them and the problem has been solved.
The problem has been solved, as the page no longer exists, and I understand why it was deleted. I now agree that this topic might not notable enough to deserve its own page.
It is clear that I can't remove a speedy deletion tag on my page (saying that my page should be deleted). What is not clear to me is whether the sections on my talk page constitute speedy deletion tags, meaning I can't remove them, or are simply comments saying other pages I created have these tags.
Please Explain. Thanks!

I spent hours/days try to improve a web page that was fundamentally bad - incorrect, misleading, fragmented, lots of repeated information. Because I am an expert in the field, I had the great idea of improving it. I spent hours and days on this, only to have it all rejected by wikipedia. There seems to be a circular argument. They want experts but when experts try to improve they are thought to be promoting themselves and the improvement rejected. What I wrote was excellent, concise, well referenced, researched and informative. Most importantly it was correct. So, how do I improve a page that includes citations to my own work?

The article 1996 California Proposition 218 had ~300,000 page views this past 30 days, and about the same for the previous 30 day span. In the previous 30 day span, I also noticed relatively normal visits, with ENORMOUS spikes occurring once weekly, on Fridays, if I recall correctly.
For background, anyone who lives or has lived in California since ~1980 would be familiar with 1978 California Proposition 13, a law which capped property taxes at 1% of assessed value and limited increases to 2% per year. That article gets ~15,000 page views per month. The Prop218 above is a relatively minor law which followed Prop 13, allowing more ability for voters to vote on new taxes, so my first guess would be that it SHOULD be seeing less than half the 15,000 page views, or somewhere below ~7,000 page views, for my guess at a higher bound.
I'm wondering whether someone is running a bot to generate very high page views for the Prop218 article, but I have no guess as to WHY someone would do that. Either way, this is really strange, and thought that I should bring this to someone's attention, who has more ability to investigate this than me.--- Avatar317 (talk) 04:38, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
