Greetings, all. I submitted the following page as new content via the AfC, and I declared my conflict of interest:
/info/en/?search=Draft:Bay_Area_International_Children%27s_Film_Festival
My page was rejected, but I was hoping for some constructive editor feedback, as I assumed that getting notes of some kind would be the first stage when submitting via this route. The issue I'm having is that both the COI rules and the feedback I'm getting are vague and even contradictory, so I'm puzzled what to do next.
My talk page explains my page rejection, and the rejection form letter notes: "You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved."
I was also flagged for using an incorrect username, which I immediately changed to follow site rules. But under my unblocking request, an editor wrote: "That means no more writing about subject areas for which you have a conflict of interest."
So now I'm confused: Should I edit my page submission or not? I had planned to put out a Teahouse request for help re-editing my page to meet Wikipedia standards. My content is consistent with other content on the site -- it's for a long-running children's film festival -- and so it seems to me that it's a good fit for Wikipedia, given that other such festivals are already listed.
I'd appreciate any advice on how to navigate the Wikipedia labyrinth and submit my content. I completely understand the need to avoid marketing and biased information.
In closing, let me cite some text from this Wikipedia page, which I was using as my ethical guideline -- but which apparently contradicts other guidelines on the site:
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:An_interest_is_not_a_conflict_of_interest
"Conflicted editors can be an extremely valuable and largely untapped resource as they are often the most equipped and motivated to report on a given subject. Policy permits conflicted editors to edit articles provided they comply with other policies."
Thanks very much for your time and advice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FilmFestFan ( talk • contribs) 20:03, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
I submitted my first page in August during a Wiki event and I was told it would take up to 8 weeks when I submitted the page. I have not heard anything back yet and it is getting close to the 8 week mark. Is there a way to check the status of the submitted page? It was on Rui Sasaki. Not Sasaki Rui which is already an existing page and a different person. Any advice is appreciated. I look forward to improving my skills here and becoming more active. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Golden snail tongs ( talk • contribs) 21:35, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi, A brief question, I'm considering additions to the Central Valley Project what was at the time, the largest hydro-electric project in the world, that was first pushed in 1920 but not fully under construction between 1940-60. The subject matter for such a major project includes the intersection of complex legal and political battles over land and water laws as well as the extensive construction of close to a billion dollars in dams, power projects and canals in 1950 prices.
As a way to document literally dozens of major projects and their individual activities, I would like to introduce a timeline into the current article on this project that currently has no real history that even comes close to the scale of this project.
I would like to place this extensive history into the article with a timeline format with links to hundreds of digital news articles from federal budget news stories to the political fights that helped shape the state's historic past around irrigation, electricity and water. The timeline itself will exceed 300 or more individual lines of linked stories, that express the scale and missing history of the states water wars.
I've not seen an extended timeline like this on wikipedia, so am wondering if I can do this - a good part of it is already constructed away from the Central Valley Project article. Please remember, the CVP is on the scale of the federal government's manhattan project and is immense.
Sadly, wikipedia apparently doesn't have scripting systems that would allow very large indexing/timelines like this to be folded into a single line - so that such large documents can be presented and can be opened and closed by clicking on segments of the timeline/indes :( Energynet ( talk) 18:41, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
thanks for the response!
So, no timeline, and just a chopped up history section?
I've been working on the citation/timeline for this for over a month and it has nearly 150 citations with many more left to do.
I don't plan on leaving the history section as is either, but felt that I could drop the timeline in at the bottom of the article. I've already purged a lot of material from it, but this is no ordinary history. Especially in how it ended up being censored out of history. The last thing I want is to have this history shut down because its too long. There are entire segments of what happened that can no longer to found in modern textbooks! Putting a description of them just wouldn't cut it for me, even though this would be part of the summarized history. How does one emphasize a 40 year battle that has been completely removed, other than by documenting the battle with real content to real stories that can be clicked on and seen, or as a bare minimum turns into one line events in a huge timeline? Not to mention this is happening again only worse because nearly nobody today reads, but might actually start to look further if only there was a way to get the casual browser on wikipedia to look closer.

The values in the column 'RpW Ratio' in the table 'League table' in the section 'League stage' in the webpage ' /info/en/?search=2019%E2%80%9321_ICC_World_Test_Championship' are incorrect and should be updated. The webpage shows the last update was on 22 October 2019 and the source is 'International Cricket Council[18]'. Please be informed the source has also not updated these values on their webpage ( https://www.icc-cricket.com/world-test-championship/standings).
The present incorrect values '2.871, 1.401, 0.714, 1.158, 0.864, 0.411, 0.275, N/A and N/A' should be corrected and updated as '3.245, 2.312, 0.843, 1.232, 0.957, 0.410, 0.292, N/A and N/A'.
A couple of days ago, I carried out these corrections as minor edits and published the changes. But today when I checked, I was shocked to see all of my edits have vanished.
Hence, I request you to kindly restore the changes made by me. If possible, please ask the source as well to update their website. The source does not seem to have an option for a person like me to suggest this to them.

I'm curious which part of the rules I can refer to if the article quotes a fact from a some book written by a historian that has no evidence in material historical sources.
I give an example, in Croatia Vlachs are historically mentioned and today they are Serbs and to a lesser extent Croats. Ivic Aleksa, Serbian historian (Budjanovci, 23rd XII. 1881 - Belgrade, 23rd XI. 1948). In his book he does not notice these original Vlachs, and he writes about them as Serbs. Mirko Valentić; Institute for Contemporary History, Zagreb, Croatia Mirko Valentić; Institute for Contemporary History, Zagreb, Croatia, states in the book "On the Ethnic Root of Croatian Bosnian Serbs" [1] page 18. as follows: "Budući da arhivska građa, osim rijetkih izuzetaka, daje istraživaču samo vlaško ime, A. lvić, prepričavajući arhivske spise, jednostavno ondje gdje piše Vlah čita Srbin. Našavši u arhivskoj građi veći broj spisa o Vlasima katolicima, tj. potomcima starohrvatskih Vlaha: Bunjevci, Morlaci i drugi, on će i te Vlahe proglasiti Srbima nazivajući ih •Srbi katoličke vere«. Pišući o pokušaju oslobođenja Like iz koje Vlasi čine nasilja i zločine po središnjoj Hrvatskoj, provaljujući i u dubinu Kranjske, lvić sugerira svome čitatelju kako je austrijski nadvojvoda naredio »proterivanje Srba iz Like«. U originalnom dokumentu stoji »[ .. . ] Abtreibung der neu angesessnem Walachen in der Likha [ ... ]«.24 Isti postupak primijenio je s gomirskim Vlasima, koje A. lvić čita kao »Gomirski Srbi«, iako u arhivskom spisu stoji »Wallachen zu Goymerie«.25 Jednako postupa i s poznatim vlaškim selima Dubrave i Ponikve u okolici Ogulina. lvić piše: »srpska mesta Dubrave i Ponikve, gde su Srbi živeli«. U originalnom dokumentu stoji•[ ... ] die in dem Dorff Dubraua und Ponique wohnende Wallachen [ ... ]«.26 'Tužbu žumberačkih Vlaha iz Marindola 1668. prikazuje Ivić kao tužbu »Srba iz Marindola«, iako u originalnom spisu stoji: •[ ... ] die Walachen zu Marienthall beclagen sich [ ... ]«.27 Falsifikatima takve vrste vrvi svaka stranica Ivićeve knjige. Ovdje su gotovo nasumce izabrani samo neki primjeri"......"Because archival material, with few exceptions, gives the researcher only the Vlach name, A. lvic, retelling the archives, simply there where it says Vlachs reads a Serbs. Having found in the archival material a large number of writings for Catholics Vlachs ie descendants of the ancient Croatian Vlachs: Bunjevci, Morlaci and others, he would also declare these as Vlachs Serbs by calling them • Serbs of the Catholic faith. " Writing about the attempt to free Lika from which the Vlachs commit violence and crimes by Central Croatia, penetrating into the depths of Carniola, lvic suggests to his reader that the Austrian Archduke had ordered the“ expulsion of the Serbs from Lika. " The original document reads "[... ] Abtreibung der neu angesessnem Walachen in der Likha [...]. "24 The same procedure was applied by Gomirje Vlachs, which A. lvić reads as "Gomirje Serbs", although the archival file contains "Wallachen zu Goymerie" .25 He treats the well-known Vlachs villages of Dubrava and Ponikve in the Ogulin area as well. lvic writes: "The Serbian places of Dubrava and Ponikva, where the Serbs lived." In the original document reads • [...] die in dem Dorff Dubrau und Ponique wohnende Wallachen [...]. "26 The lawsuit of Žumberak Vlachs from Marindol in 1668 is presented by Ivic as a lawsuit by" Serbs from Marindol ", although the original file states: • [...] die Walachen zu Marienthall beclagen sich [...]. "27 Forgery of this kind is roped in every page of Ivic's book. Here are only some examples randomly selected"
If someone puts up a book of Ivić Aleksa as proof for some quote, on which rule I have to refer to delete such evidence from individual articles, this is just one example and there are many more because many Serbian historians do not use original historical data as evidence?

behind each of them, as a simple and polite request for a citation needed. A bot will handle the rest. Then, just go away, and avoid editor conflicts for a while. Others may add sources, or other editors may choose to help by removing the unsourced bits. Or in six or eight weeks, you might come back and gently remove the challenged bits if
no other editor has chosen to find and add sources. Only after that, find another three or so areas that might be improved, and request sources on those. Rinse, lather, repeat. Slow and steady to improve an article that is off the rails, yet has editors with strong opinions about retention of unsourced statements.{{cn}}

Hi,
This is Medhavi Saxena working for WorldLink US under the founder and executive chairman Adil Adi. I have working on this wikipedia for 3 years to get it approved and move on with the wikipedia pages. Still, it is been rejected. I don't know if you have the record of the message in the past with the usernames like WorldLink US, AkshayBhende, AdilAdi and then now AdilAdi1998.
I have been trying to understand with complex sentences and the complex words in this website. However I am not able to make it right and have not been able to understand which direction should I go first. I tried to follow many rules and regulations and follow the steps strongly. Unfortunately, it is still been rejected.
Could you kindly share the screenshot or the userpage or what kind of articles/biography should be post?
Thanks, Medhavi (267.393.3597) — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdilAdi1998 ( talk • contribs) 15:37, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
Yes HUG,
That's me! It was me trying to edit so I need your help to help me go in the right direction. Is it because of the user name matching to the contents or is it because of the biography is too much of the advertising of the person or promoting Adil Adi?
Kindly, please share the reason. So that it is clear to me as I will be in the right direction.
Thanks, Medhavi — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdilAdi1998 ( talk • contribs) 15:49, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
working for WorldLink US under the founder and executive chairman Adil Adithen you would appear to be a paid contributor, and must disclose this in accordance with WP:PAID. Since it appears that you have used multiple accounts, you should also disclose this on your user page, User:AdilAdi1998. Those must be done before you undertake any further efforts to write a biography of Adil Adi or anyone else conmnected with your company. You should also meake it clear that you aree not yourself Adil Adi. Note that no Wikipedia account should ever be used by mor than one person. Shared accounts are not allowed.
Thank you for your reply, Hug and DESiegel. I appreciate your help on this matter. The reason for posting this page is valid, and not promotional. Many colleagues have requested personal and career information on Adil Adi in recent years, and we thought that Wikipedia was the perfect neutral platform for maintaining and updating the profile. We have multiple accounts because our first attempt by my colleague Akshay was written with a positive bias. We adjusted the text to make it journalistic and informative for the reader community, using other Wikipedia pages of similar personas. We included a number of external references to ensure validation of the content. We are happy to delete these previous profiles and maintain just one, for the purpose of supporting this page and other pages within our areas of technology/investing expertise.
I ask that you please advise on how we can ensure that the final product is of value to the reader community. It will receive many visitors and is linked so that it directs to many other Wikipedia pages. Thank you again for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdilAdi1998 ( talk • contribs) 16:30, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
we thought that Wikipedia was the perfect neutral platform for maintaining and updating the profile- I’m afraid this is where you are mistaken. Wikipedia is not a social media platform or webhost. If people want to find information about your CEO, I suggest you place this on your company website. Wikipedia has articles about notable topics and, as I explained above, the only way to show that a topic is notable enough for an article is if it has been widely covered in reliable, independent, secondary sources. I suggest that if you want help from editors, you post here the best three sources you have to establish Adil Adi’s notability, and then we will be better able to give you advice. Hug syrup 19:52, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi Hug, Thank you for the collaboration, HUG. We can definitely provide reputable external sources. Please find a collection of external sources that provide background on the Adil Adi topic. These have been embedded in the article as well. Open to hear your thoughts on how we can improve this for the community.

You must understand that Google will prove the origin of Mannequin Challenge with videos ! Those videos have the dates encrypted on it , so in the end Wikipedia will lose trust ...( I don't think you like that ) . If you really care about Wikipedia, don't let those bad people to throw the dirt on it , because they may do that on porpoise... In my sandbox you will find one article about Mannequin Challenge Origin ( with date and biography of the true originator ) So don't act like blind ....

Hi Queenuniverse, I'm having a look at the draft (which is now at Draft:Naaz Joshi) to see what can be done about it. I can see in-depth pieces in The India Times which is directly about them, but I'm afraid I don't know much about that source (other than it's not The Times of India). There are a number of other news sources that are directly about Naaz Joshi; again I don't really know much about the reputation of these sources.

|trans-title=
does not work unless you also provide the un-translated (non-English) title in using |title=
. Similarly, |trans-work=
requires |work=
or one of its synonyms. In any case the original title and publication name should be provided, because that is wat would be needed to search for the source offline, or in an archivne if the link goes dead. The url dshould go to mthe original, untranslated article. |trans-url=
can be used if a tanslated version is available online, but only if the base URL is specified.

I'm having trouble inserting photos from my computer into the Sandbox. I am using SAFARI. Should I not be? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Steve Michelman ( talk • contribs) 22:24, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
I had drafted an article in my user-sandbox and had submitted it by clicking "submit for review" button. But after that, my entire sandbox was moved to Draft:Sandeep Unnithan, leaving a redirect. Is this supposed to happen? How do I get my sandbox back?— Vaibhavafro 💬 23:32, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
Vaibhavafro When the page User:Vaibhavafro/sandbox was moved to Draft:Sandeep Unnithan a redirect was left behind. This is like a forwarding address -- it makes sure that any links to the content tht as moved still work, and that anyone going to the old page name gets to the moved content. But like almost everything on Wikipedia, it can be changed easily. If you want to have a new sandbox for working on another topic, you can simply edit the page User:Vaibhavafro/sandbox, delete the redirect, and rep;lace it with whatever you like. You can also create named userspace drafts, with page names such as User:Vaibhavafro/Draft Abc and User:Vaibhavafro/Draft Def. You can have as many pof these as you want, provided that you seriously intend to work on them and try to eventually develop them into articles here. There are advantages to both styles, and neither is required. If you wan tthe redirect in the sandbox page removed now, I can do that for you, although you can do it for yourself.

I am ready to create a page for JOHN GROSSMAN. He was a very notable person and here is my introduction to him: John Wesley Grossman, Jr. was born in Des Moines, Iowa, July 20, 1932. He had a profound interest in art beginning as a young boy. A graphic designer, for over fifteen years and was proud of his five years a a teacher in the design department of the San Francisco Art Institute. He received international attention in the commercial world of advertising with numerous Certificates of Distinction and Awards of Excellence. Then his new career as an oil artist specializing in California landscapes lasted over 23 years. His work is owned by many collectors in the United States, England and Japan, including museums and corporations as well as private collections. He then focused on his passion for printed ephemera amassing one of the greatest printed ephemera collections in the world, www.johngrossmancollection.com comprising of over 250,000 original and many rare artifacts are now located at the Winterthur Estate, Gardens and Library.
I have established 39 subject categories in his biography; completed a chart of all 202 oil painting with details: year, title, media, size, remarks of exhibitions ;completed his Publications list; completed major career highlights and completed a 'sources' list for all articles published about John.
I have only three links for this articles: Johngrossmancollection, winterthur.org, ephemerasociety.org Do you want to see all these items in order to be approved to create this page for John?

Now we know there are very evil haters out in this world, would or can it be possible to have certain people blocked off from editing. I plan to put the real facts where acknowledgment should stand.shows that you might not really understand what Wikipedia is about. Wikipedia is not really a place to try and continue or resolve real world disputes between you and others regarding your dad. It's also not really a place to post "real facts" unless they are things that can be verified through citations to reliable sources as explained in Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth. So, if you feel that there is certain content in the article which shouldn't be there, the best thing for you to do is to explain why on the article's talk page and see what other editors unconnected to you dad think. Perhaps there are things which should be removed, but negative content isn't going to be removed just because it's negative; it will only be removed if it's not in accordance with relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines. In the same vein, positive content isn't going to remain just because it's positive; it will remain only if it's in accordance with relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines. This might not be hard to understand at first, but neither you nor anyone else connected to your dad has any final editorial control of the article as explained in Wikipedia:Ownership of content; in other words, it's not really his article, but rather an article written about him on Wikipedia which means that everything good or bad needs to be in accordance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines even if they might be things that you don't personally like. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 00:59, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
More about how I can host a page for my own name/personal brand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allisontristan ( talk • contribs) 05:58, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
I am trying to get a better understanding of the notability guidelines for organizations. In WP:ORG, it says:
Sources that describe only a specific topic related to an organization should not be regarded as providing significant coverage of that organization. Therefore, for example, an article on a product recall or a biography of a CEO is a significant coverage for the Wikipedia article on the product or the CEO, but not a significant coverage on the company (unless the article or biography devotes significant attention to the company itself).
Here is where I am confused: An organization is a collection of people, which typically produce products, services, ideas, or other artifacts. So, when talking about an organization, all there is to talk about is the people, products, services, and ideas. There is no more "there" there, so far as I can tell. So, I don't know what to make of the above paragraph. How does can a source really talk about "the company itself," when the company or organization really is just a collection of smaller things? 104gli ( talk) 06:01, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

If I quote text from a book using {{ cite book}}, will that be a copyright violation? I am speaking in context of my recent additions to this article, in which I think that quoting the text will be easier for future reference since I have accessed the book from my University Library.— Vaibhavafro 💬 05:33, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
Quotations are a fundamental part of Wikipedia articles. Quotations—often informally called quotes—provide information directly; quoting a brief excerpt from an original source can sometimes explain things better and less controversially than trying to explain them in one's own words.and goes on to say b
Quotations must be verifiably attributed to a reliable source (see Wikipedia:Verifiability § Burden of evidence). Wikipedia guidelines for proper attribution of quotes are found in WP:MOSQUOTE and WP:CITE. Attribution should be provided in the text of the article, not exclusively in a footnote or citation. A reader should not have to follow a footnote to learn who authored the quote.
While quotations are an indispensable part of Wikipedia, try not to overuse them. Long quotations crowd the actual article and remove attention from other information..
filling the "quote" parameterin {{ cite book}} with the actual text in the cited book is correct or not.— Vaibhavafro 💬 07:35, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
Vaibhavafro, the quote parameter in {{ cite book}}, {{ cite news}} or any citation template should be filled, if it is used at all, with an exact quotation from the source, and should not (unlike article text) be paraphrased or in your own words. It need not always be used. It is helpful to identify the extat phrase or passage in the source which directly supports the article content. It is not needed if the article content is itself a direct marked quotation. It is most useful when the source is dense, has long pages, or is unpaginated, and it may be hard for a reader to identify just what passage in the source supports the article test. It should not be an overly long quotation, but should be long enough to make the nature of the support clear. Parts of a passage not relevant to the purpose can be replaced with an ellipsis (...), but never in such a way as to change or distort the meaning of the source. It can also be used for a translated passage from a non-English source, but the translation must be careful, and must be clearly identified. DES (talk) DESiegel Contribs 07:54, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Use italics when italics would be necessary in running text; for example, taxonomic names, the names of ships, the titles of books, films, and other creative works, and foreign phrases are italicized both in ordinary text and in article titles.(emphasis mine). The easiest way is to add
{{
Italic title}}

General question: Is it appropriate to delete drafts and user pages that are exclusively edited by a now-banned editor and its continued attempts at block evasion via socks and IP? Assume that those pages have not been seriously edited by any other editor, i.e. there is no interest by anyone else to maintain those drafts / user pages.
It seems that there are no speedy deletion criteria for these kinds of drafts (disregarding G13 and other CSD for different but potentially overlapping scenarios).

I just edited baseball in 1926. However, when I entered in the name Heinie Mueller, I learned that there are two pages for former players by that name. I know which one I need, but I'm a little unsure how to edit the page to reflect that.
Thanks for your assistance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sportsfan1976 ( talk • contribs) 18:12, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Looking at the
1926 in baseball page, I see that you have added a link to
Heinie Mueller as part of
this edit. To direct the link to the right article, you can add a
piped link like this: [[Heinie Mueller (outfielder)|Heinie Muller]]
so the link will read properly in the paragraph (i.e., without the disambiguator) but will link directly to the outfielder's article rather than the disambiguation page.As an aside, I'm not sure why those two articles were disambiguated by position played rather than by birth year, but that's a discussion for
WP:RM.

Greetings, all. I submitted the following page as new content via the AfC, and I declared my conflict of interest:
/info/en/?search=Draft:Bay_Area_International_Children%27s_Film_Festival
My page was rejected, but I was hoping for some constructive editor feedback, as I assumed that getting notes of some kind would be the first stage when submitting via this route. The issue I'm having is that both the COI rules and the feedback I'm getting are vague and even contradictory, so I'm puzzled what to do next.
My talk page explains my page rejection, and the rejection form letter notes: "You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved."
I was also flagged for using an incorrect username, which I immediately changed to follow site rules. But under my unblocking request, an editor wrote: "That means no more writing about subject areas for which you have a conflict of interest."
So now I'm confused: Should I edit my page submission or not? I had planned to put out a Teahouse request for help re-editing my page to meet Wikipedia standards. My content is consistent with other content on the site -- it's for a long-running children's film festival -- and so it seems to me that it's a good fit for Wikipedia, given that other such festivals are already listed.
I'd appreciate any advice on how to navigate the Wikipedia labyrinth and submit my content. I completely understand the need to avoid marketing and biased information.
In closing, let me cite some text from this Wikipedia page, which I was using as my ethical guideline -- but which apparently contradicts other guidelines on the site:
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:An_interest_is_not_a_conflict_of_interest
"Conflicted editors can be an extremely valuable and largely untapped resource as they are often the most equipped and motivated to report on a given subject. Policy permits conflicted editors to edit articles provided they comply with other policies."
Thanks very much for your time and advice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FilmFestFan ( talk • contribs) 20:03, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
I submitted my first page in August during a Wiki event and I was told it would take up to 8 weeks when I submitted the page. I have not heard anything back yet and it is getting close to the 8 week mark. Is there a way to check the status of the submitted page? It was on Rui Sasaki. Not Sasaki Rui which is already an existing page and a different person. Any advice is appreciated.

Hi, A brief question, I'm considering additions to the Central Valley Project what was at the time, the largest hydro-electric project in the world, that was first pushed in 1920 but not fully under construction between 1940-60. The subject matter for such a major project includes the intersection of complex legal and political battles over land and water laws as well as the extensive construction of close to a billion dollars in dams, power projects and canals in 1950 prices.
As a way to document literally dozens of major projects and their individual activities, I would like to introduce a timeline into the current article on this project that currently has no real history that even comes close to the scale of this project.
I would like to place this extensive history into the article with a timeline format with links to hundreds of digital news articles from federal budget news stories to the political fights that helped shape the state's historic past around irrigation, electricity and water. The timeline itself will exceed 300 or more individual lines of linked stories, that express the scale and missing history of the states water wars.
I've not seen an extended timeline like this on wikipedia, so am wondering if I can do this - a good part of it is already constructed away from the Central Valley Project article. Please remember, the CVP is on the scale of the federal government's manhattan project and is immense.
Sadly, wikipedia apparently doesn't have scripting systems that would allow very large indexing/timelines like this to be folded into a single line - so that such large documents can be presented and can be opened and closed by clicking on segments of the timeline/indes :( Energynet ( talk) 18:41, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
thanks for the response!
So, no timeline, and just a chopped up history section?
I've been working on the citation/timeline for this for over a month and it has nearly 150 citations with many more left to do.
I don't plan on leaving the history section as is either, but felt that I could drop the timeline in at the bottom of the article. I've already purged a lot of material from it, but this is no ordinary history. Especially in how it ended up being censored out of history. The last thing I want is to have this history shut down because its too long. There are entire segments of what happened that can no longer to found in modern textbooks! Putting a description of them just wouldn't cut it for me, even though this would be part of the summarized history. How does one emphasize a 40 year battle that has been completely removed, other than by documenting the battle with real content to real stories that can be clicked on and seen, or as a bare minimum turns into one line events in a huge timeline? Not to mention this is happening again only worse because nearly nobody today reads, but might actually start to look further if only there was a way to get the casual browser on wikipedia to look closer.

I'm curious which part of the rules I can refer to if the article quotes a fact from a some book written by a historian that has no evidence in material historical sources.
I give an example, in Croatia Vlachs are historically mentioned and today they are Serbs and to a lesser extent Croats. Ivic Aleksa, Serbian historian (Budjanovci, 23rd XII. 1881 - Belgrade, 23rd XI. 1948). In his book he does not notice these original Vlachs, and he writes about them as Serbs. Mirko Valentić; Institute for Contemporary History, Zagreb, Croatia Mirko Valentić; Institute for Contemporary History, Zagreb, Croatia, states in the book "On the Ethnic Root of Croatian Bosnian Serbs" [1] page 18. as follows: "Budući da arhivska građa, osim rijetkih izuzetaka, daje istraživaču samo vlaško ime, A. lvić, prepričavajući arhivske spise, jednostavno ondje gdje piše Vlah čita Srbin. Našavši u arhivskoj građi veći broj spisa o Vlasima katolicima, tj. potomcima starohrvatskih Vlaha: Bunjevci, Morlaci i drugi, on će i te Vlahe proglasiti Srbima nazivajući ih •Srbi katoličke vere«. Pišući o pokušaju oslobođenja Like iz koje Vlasi čine nasilja i zločine po središnjoj Hrvatskoj, provaljujući i u dubinu Kranjske, lvić sugerira svome čitatelju kako je austrijski nadvojvoda naredio »proterivanje Srba iz Like«. U originalnom dokumentu stoji »[ .. . ] Abtreibung der neu angesessnem Walachen in der Likha [ ... ]«.24 Isti postupak primijenio je s gomirskim Vlasima, koje A. lvić čita kao »Gomirski Srbi«, iako u arhivskom spisu stoji »Wallachen zu Goymerie«.25 Jednako postupa i s poznatim vlaškim selima Dubrave i Ponikve u okolici Ogulina. lvić piše: »srpska mesta Dubrave i Ponikve, gde su Srbi živeli«. U originalnom dokumentu stoji•[ ... ] die in dem Dorff Dubraua und Ponique wohnende Wallachen [ ... ]«.26 'Tužbu žumberačkih Vlaha iz Marindola 1668. prikazuje Ivić kao tužbu »Srba iz Marindola«, iako u originalnom spisu stoji: •[ ... ] die Walachen zu Marienthall beclagen sich [ ... ]«.27 Falsifikatima takve vrste vrvi svaka stranica Ivićeve knjige. Ovdje su gotovo nasumce izabrani samo neki primjeri"......"Because archival material, with few exceptions, gives the researcher only the Vlach name, A. lvic, retelling the archives, simply there where it says Vlachs reads a Serbs. Having found in the archival material a large number of writings for Catholics Vlachs ie descendants of the ancient Croatian Vlachs: Bunjevci, Morlaci and others, he would also declare these as Vlachs Serbs by calling them • Serbs of the Catholic faith. " Writing about the attempt to free Lika from which the Vlachs commit violence and crimes by Central Croatia, penetrating into the depths of Carniola, lvic suggests to his reader that the Austrian Archduke had ordered the“ expulsion of the Serbs from Lika. " The original document reads "[... ] Abtreibung der neu angesessnem Walachen in der Likha [...]. "24 The same procedure was applied by Gomirje Vlachs, which A. lvić reads as "Gomirje Serbs", although the archival file contains "Wallachen zu Goymerie" .25 He treats the well-known Vlachs villages of Dubrava and Ponikve in the Ogulin area as well. lvic writes: "The Serbian places of Dubrava and Ponikva, where the Serbs lived." In the original document reads • [...] die in dem Dorff Dubrau und Ponique wohnende Wallachen [...]. "26 The lawsuit of Žumberak Vlachs from Marindol in 1668 is presented by Ivic as a lawsuit by" Serbs from Marindol ", although the original file states: • [...] die Walachen zu Marienthall beclagen sich [...]. "27 Forgery of this kind is roped in every page of Ivic's book. Here are only some examples randomly selected"
If someone puts up a book of Ivić Aleksa as proof for some quote, on which rule I have to refer to delete such evidence from individual articles, this is just one example and there are many more because many Serbian historians do not use original historical data as evidence?

Others may add sources, or other editors may choose to help by removing the unsourced bits. Or in six or eight weeks, you might come back and gently remove the challenged bits if
no other editor has chosen to find and add sources. Only after that, find another three or so areas that might be improved, and request sources on those. Rinse, lather, repeat.

Hi,
This is Medhavi Saxena working for WorldLink US under the founder and executive chairman Adil Adi. I have working on this wikipedia for 3 years to get it approved and move on with the wikipedia pages. Still, it is been rejected. I don't know if you have the record of the message in the past with the usernames like WorldLink US, AkshayBhende, AdilAdi and then now AdilAdi1998.
I have been trying to understand with complex sentences and the complex words in this website. However I am not able to make it right and have not been able to understand which direction should I go first. I tried to follow many rules and regulations and follow the steps strongly. Unfortunately, it is still been rejected.
Could you kindly share the screenshot or the userpage or what kind of articles/biography should be post?

That's me! It was me trying to edit so I need your help to help me go in the right direction. Is it because of the user name matching to the contents or is it because of the biography is too much of the advertising of the person or promoting Adil Adi?
Kindly, please share the reason. So that it is clear to me as I will be in the right direction.

working for WorldLink US under the founder and executive chairman Adil Adithen you would appear to be a paid contributor, and must disclose this in accordance with WP:PAID. Since it appears that you have used multiple accounts, you should also disclose this on your user page, User:AdilAdi1998. Those must be done before you undertake any further efforts to write a biography of Adil Adi or anyone else conmnected with your company. You should also meake it clear that you aree not yourself Adil Adi. Note that no Wikipedia account should ever be used by mor than one person. Shared accounts are not allowed.
Thank you for your reply, Hug and DESiegel. I appreciate your help on this matter. The reason for posting this page is valid, and not promotional. Many colleagues have requested personal and career information on Adil Adi in recent years, and we thought that Wikipedia was the perfect neutral platform for maintaining and updating the profile. We have multiple accounts because our first attempt by my colleague Akshay was written with a positive bias. We adjusted the text to make it journalistic and informative for the reader community, using other Wikipedia pages of similar personas. We included a number of external references to ensure validation of the content. We are happy to delete these previous profiles and maintain just one, for the purpose of supporting this page and other pages within our areas of technology/investing expertise.
I ask that you please advise on how we can ensure that the final product is of value to the reader community. It will receive many visitors and is linked so that it directs to many other Wikipedia pages. Thank you again for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AdilAdi1998 ( talk • contribs) 16:30, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
we thought that Wikipedia was the perfect neutral platform for maintaining and updating the profile- I’m afraid this is where you are mistaken. Wikipedia is not a social media platform or webhost. If people want to find information about your CEO, I suggest you place this on your company website. Wikipedia has articles about notable topics and, as I explained above, the only way to show that a topic is notable enough for an article is if it has been widely covered in reliable, independent, secondary sources. I suggest that if you want help from editors, you post here the best three sources you have to establish Adil Adi’s notability, and then we will be better able to give you advice. Hug syrup 19:52, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi Hug, Thank you for the collaboration, HUG. We can definitely provide reputable external sources. Please find a collection of external sources that provide background on the Adil Adi topic.

Those videos have the dates encrypted on it , so in the end Wikipedia will lose trust ...( I don't think you like that ) . If you really care about Wikipedia, don't let those bad people to throw the dirt on it , because they may do that on porpoise...

Hi Queenuniverse, I'm having a look at the draft (which is now at Draft:Naaz Joshi) to see what can be done about it. I can see in-depth pieces in The India Times which is directly about them, but I'm afraid I don't know much about that source (other than it's not The Times of India). There are a number of other news sources that are directly about Naaz Joshi; again I don't really know much about the reputation of these sources.

Guten Tag, I wish to know if any polling data exists on wikipedia and its editors. This would include data such as race, nationality, religion, political affiliations, and so on and so forth. If no data exists then I propose we send a survey to all active editors on wikipedia. I am not yet sure what being an active wikipedia editor entails. I also request any data on the prevalence of Paid Editors/Shills on the website, particularly in regards to political/controversial historical content. I also know that any numbers originating from this survey will not be entirely accurate. However, I still wish for a kind of census of wikipedia.

|language=
, |trans-title=
for the title translated into English, |trans-work=
for a translation of the name of the publication. You could use |quote=
for a translated quotation. I recall a trans-quote parameter, but it doesn't appear in the template documentation, so perhaps my memory is incorrect.

|trans-title=
does not work unless you also provide the un-translated (non-English) title in using |title=
. Similarly, |trans-work=
requires |work=
or one of its synonyms. In any case the original title and publication name should be provided, because that is wat would be needed to search for the source offline, or in an archivne if the link goes dead. The url dshould go to mthe original, untranslated article. |trans-url=
can be used if a tanslated version is available online, but only if the base URL is specified.

I had drafted an article in my user-sandbox and had submitted it by clicking "submit for review" button. But after that, my entire sandbox was moved to Draft:Sandeep Unnithan, leaving a redirect. Is this supposed to happen? How do I get my sandbox back?— Vaibhavafro 💬 23:32, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
Vaibhavafro When the page User:Vaibhavafro/sandbox was moved to Draft:Sandeep Unnithan a redirect was left behind. This is like a forwarding address -- it makes sure that any links to the content tht as moved still work, and that anyone going to the old page name gets to the moved content. But like almost everything on Wikipedia, it can be changed easily. If you want to have a new sandbox for working on another topic, you can simply edit the page User:Vaibhavafro/sandbox, delete the redirect, and rep;lace it with whatever you like. You can also create named userspace drafts, with page names such as User:Vaibhavafro/Draft Abc and User:Vaibhavafro/Draft Def. You can have as many pof these as you want, provided that you seriously intend to work on them and try to eventually develop them into articles here. There are advantages to both styles, and neither is required. If you wan tthe redirect in the sandbox page removed now, I can do that for you, although you can do it for yourself.

I am ready to create a page for JOHN GROSSMAN. He was a very notable person and here is my introduction to him: John Wesley Grossman, Jr. was born in Des Moines, Iowa, July 20, 1932. He had a profound interest in art beginning as a young boy. A graphic designer, for over fifteen years and was proud of his five years a a teacher in the design department of the San Francisco Art Institute. He received international attention in the commercial world of advertising with numerous Certificates of Distinction and Awards of Excellence. Then his new career as an oil artist specializing in California landscapes lasted over 23 years. His work is owned by many collectors in the United States, England and Japan, including museums and corporations as well as private collections. He then focused on his passion for printed ephemera amassing one of the greatest printed ephemera collections in the world, www.johngrossmancollection.com comprising of over 250,000 original and many rare artifacts are now located at the Winterthur Estate, Gardens and Library.
I have established 39 subject categories in his biography; completed a chart of all 202 oil painting with details: year, title, media, size, remarks of exhibitions ;completed his Publications list; completed major career highlights and completed a 'sources' list for all articles published about John.
I have only three links for this articles: Johngrossmancollection, winterthur.org, ephemerasociety.org Do you want to see all these items in order to be approved to create this page for John?

Now we know there are very evil haters out in this world, would or can it be possible to have certain people blocked off from editing. I plan to put the real facts where acknowledgment should stand.shows that you might not really understand what Wikipedia is about. Wikipedia is not really a place to try and continue or resolve real world disputes between you and others regarding your dad. It's also not really a place to post "real facts" unless they are things that can be verified through citations to reliable sources as explained in Wikipedia:Verifiability, not truth. So, if you feel that there is certain content in the article which shouldn't be there, the best thing for you to do is to explain why on the article's talk page and see what other editors unconnected to you dad think. Perhaps there are things which should be removed, but negative content isn't going to be removed just because it's negative; it will only be removed if it's not in accordance with relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines. In the same vein, positive content isn't going to remain just because it's positive; it will remain only if it's in accordance with relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines. This might not be hard to understand at first, but neither you nor anyone else connected to your dad has any final editorial control of the article as explained in Wikipedia:Ownership of content; in other words, it's not really his article, but rather an article written about him on Wikipedia which means that everything good or bad needs to be in accordance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines even if they might be things that you don't personally like. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 00:59, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

I am trying to get a better understanding of the notability guidelines for organizations. In WP:ORG, it says:
Sources that describe only a specific topic related to an organization should not be regarded as providing significant coverage of that organization. Therefore, for example, an article on a product recall or a biography of a CEO is a significant coverage for the Wikipedia article on the product or the CEO, but not a significant coverage on the company (unless the article or biography devotes significant attention to the company itself).
Here is where I am confused: An organization is a collection of people, which typically produce products, services, ideas, or other artifacts. So, when talking about an organization, all there is to talk about is the people, products, services, and ideas. There is no more "there" there, so far as I can tell. So, I don't know what to make of the above paragraph. How does can a source really talk about "the company itself," when the company or organization really is just a collection of smaller things? 104gli ( talk) 06:01, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Quotations are a fundamental part of Wikipedia articles. Quotations—often informally called quotes—provide information directly; quoting a brief excerpt from an original source can sometimes explain things better and less controversially than trying to explain them in one's own words.and goes on to say b
Quotations must be verifiably attributed to a reliable source (see Wikipedia:Verifiability § Burden of evidence). Wikipedia guidelines for proper attribution of quotes are found in WP:MOSQUOTE and WP:CITE. Attribution should be provided in the text of the article, not exclusively in a footnote or citation. A reader should not have to follow a footnote to learn who authored the quote.
While quotations are an indispensable part of Wikipedia, try not to overuse them. Long quotations crowd the actual article and remove attention from other information..
filling the "quote" parameterin {{ cite book}} with the actual text in the cited book is correct or not.— Vaibhavafro 💬 07:35, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
Vaibhavafro, the quote parameter in {{ cite book}}, {{ cite news}} or any citation template should be filled, if it is used at all, with an exact quotation from the source, and should not (unlike article text) be paraphrased or in your own words. It need not always be used. It is helpful to identify the extat phrase or passage in the source which directly supports the article content. It is not needed if the article content is itself a direct marked quotation. It is most useful when the source is dense, has long pages, or is unpaginated, and it may be hard for a reader to identify just what passage in the source supports the article test. It should not be an overly long quotation, but should be long enough to make the nature of the support clear. Parts of a passage not relevant to the purpose can be replaced with an ellipsis (...), but never in such a way as to change or distort the meaning of the source. It can also be used for a translated passage from a non-English source, but the translation must be careful, and must be clearly identified. DES (talk) DESiegel Contribs 07:54, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Use italics when italics would be necessary in running text; for example, taxonomic names, the names of ships, the titles of books, films, and other creative works, and foreign phrases are italicized both in ordinary text and in article titles.(emphasis mine). The easiest way is to add
{{

General question: Is it appropriate to delete drafts and user pages that are exclusively edited by a now-banned editor and its continued attempts at block evasion via socks and IP? Assume that those pages have not been seriously edited by any other editor, i.e. there is no interest by anyone else to maintain those drafts / user pages.
It seems that there are no speedy deletion criteria for these kinds of drafts (disregarding G13 and other CSD for different but potentially overlapping scenarios). Would it be appropriate for deletion by admin action, or would these need to go through MfD? Alternatively, would indefinite semi-protection be the appropriate solution? — MarkH21 ( talk) 06:46, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

I have seen the entry about a person and wanted to edit with information about another person with the same name. How do I do this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rocksinthelane ( talk • contribs) 11:22, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
Please have a look at this page for the Perficiency and give some editing advice. How is this page transferred from a draft to a public entry? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Runkelmarcus ( talk • contribs) 14:54, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
Hi there!
I recently came across the " List of animal sounds" page, and thought I could add value to the Zebra sound by including an additional name ("snort") + footnote reference that links to a cool article I wrote on the topic (What Sound Does a Zebra Make?).
Is this possible?
Since I am new here, I just want to make sure we're on the same page.
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers! :-)

Thanks for your prompt feedback, much appreciated. Yes, that's the one! I guess I'll leave it up to you, then! ;-) Cheers! — Preceding unsigned comment added by AfricaFreak ( talk • contribs) 16:06, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
When I click on Contributions at the top of my page it did not reflect my recent work. why? Toandanel49 ( talk) 13:18, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
I created my first page and it was approved. I would like to create another one. I went back to Sandbox > Talk and started writing but I am unable to save my work as before, it only allows direct publishing. I am in the wrong place? How and where do I work on my second page?
Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by DocNerd3000 ( talk • contribs) 22:22, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for the information. It is helpful. I will work on my articles in a word document and when ready will save as a draft on the Wikipedia platform to get feedback from all.
Thank you for your advice! — Preceding unsigned comment added by DocNerd3000 ( talk • contribs) 16:37, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

I just edited baseball in 1926. However, when I entered in the name Heinie Mueller, I learned that there are two pages for former players by that name. I know which one I need, but I'm a little unsure how to edit the page to reflect that.
Thanks for your assistance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sportsfan1976 ( talk • contribs) 18:12, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Looking at the
1926 in baseball page, I see that you have added a link to
Heinie Mueller as part of
this edit. To direct the link to the right article, you can add a
piped link like this: [[Heinie Mueller (outfielder)|Heinie Muller]]
so the link will read properly in the paragraph (i.e., without the disambiguator) but will link directly to the outfielder's article rather than the disambiguation page.As an aside, I'm not sure why those two articles were disambiguated by position played rather than by birth year, but that's a discussion for
WP:RM.
