Hallo, I am trying to improve Carlo Masi bio as it has been selected for deletion. He was a porn actor so sourcing is one of the hardest thing. I would like to mention that he appeared in many calendars (often on the cover) and there is a lot of merchandise after him. Do you think there is anyway I can source this? is for example amazon.com a possible source? After all any source that shows the cover would do, am I wrong? thank you for helping. -- AlejandroLeloirRey ( talk) 11:03, 15 April 2020 (UTC) AlejandroLeloirRey ( talk) 11:03, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

This page /info/en/?search=The_Logic_Factory contains information about a former game development company, which doesn't exist anymore. Yet in 2007 a Dutch software development company, called The Logic Factory, was founded. In the meantime this software development company has grown to an international company, with over 100 employees and offices in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, India and the United States of America.
Currently I am investigating the possibility to create a Wikipedia page for them, but now I am wondering wether the existing page of The Logic Factory should be modified or if a new page should be created for it. Anyone any suggestions? Pieter van der Wulp ( talk) 14:09, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Hallo, I am working on a porn actor bio and I bumped into François Sagat bio. I find it way too celebrative (promotional) and also full of insignificant details. Let me give you some examples :
plus there are way too many pictures making the bio appear to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia
he is definitely wikipedia materia but more than half of the page should be deleted and some sources added. is it something I should do my self or should I discuss somewhere before? what is the best thing to do?
Plus I didn't go through the sources yet. But this is my point of view: if you are a porn actor and you say you did a show in a disco sourcing is not important, but if you say you had a role in an important movie the source must be very good.

Hi dear reader!
I am currently working on my first Wikipedia article Draft:Text World Theory, which was declined because it needed more exact references. I want to cite my sources as accurately as possible, so most of my article relies on reliable, peer-reviewed articles and books. To be frank however, I also relied on the content of lectures and seminars that I followed as a student. Sometimes, I found the explanation of a professor to be very useful, so part of what I have written, draws from this. I personally know that their information is reliable as I find it to agree with the information that I find in additional resources that have been reviewed.
This however, is of course problematic. I cannot cite these additional sources directly for a number of reasons. Firstly, this is not the inital source that I have for the information, so it feels as though I am not being fair with my citations, as well as that the explanation of my professors might be different from the exact writings of other scholars. I also do not know where my professors got their information exactly, because I rely on their authority to learn something, rather than their exact citations (usually, they just state information without citing where they got it from, because they are authorities themselves). As they have been appointed a teaching position within the University, I assume that they are reliable. Secondly, I know that even though something might seem reliable to me, I might be biased or my professors might be wrong. Thusly, I am not sure whether citing a lecture or seminar actually meets the guidelines of Wikipedia, though I would want it to. Thirdly, even if I could cite my classes, they aren't public. This means that they cannot be checked by others that aren't fellow students or teachers of the same institute. This is of course extremely problematic.
I would love to cite my exact sources and provide all the exact details of the lectures or seminars I got the information from. It seems to me that that both improves the quality of the article, as well as that it credits the proper people as well. However, it seems like this format doesn't work for Wikipedia. What should I do? Owndifiction ( talk) 15:57, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Yesterday - April 14,2020 I sent e-mails to a number of mathematicians proposing the following: Bridgeman Conjecture
"There are at least two prime numbers between N2 and (N + 1)2 for every positive integer N, and two of these prime numbers form a twin prime in most cases. For N less than 215 the eleven known exceptions are when N is equal to 9, 19, 26, 27, 30, 34, 39, 49, 53, 77, and 122."
This conjecture implies proof of Legendre's Conjecture.
My question: How do I go about getting this conjecture added to Wikipedia and included in the info on Legendre's Conjecture? 2601:5C5:201:B0B0:B555:C64:290D:139 ( talk) 13:31, 15 April 2020 (UTC)James N. Bridgeman 2601:5C5:201:B0B0:B555:C64:290D:139 ( talk) 13:31, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi all - I am a new contributor and have two questions that I'm hoping to get clarity on as I want to continue contributing to Wikipedia.
1. As an example, the Arts and Culture section in the Calgary Wikipedia page seems like a bit of a mess that could use some organization based on it being a wall of text covering many different types of art, arts venues, etc. However, I was thinking that an 'Arts and Culture in Calgary' page may be warranted and just want to know if that is within the spirit of Wikipedia?
2. Many cities have arts companies but am wondering in the context of arts companies, such as a dance company, what the level of notability is there? For example, to satisfy secondary sources, would a newspaper review of a performance, an interview with an artistic director, and a member of the company's published book or article suffice 'notability'?

"Legacy and cultural impact Radcliffe is often cited as an enduring iconic representation (if not the most iconic representative[2][7]) of the bear aesthetic in pornography, gay culture, and at large.[1][3][8][9][10][11] He has been described as "the Marilyn Monroe of bear culture,"[12] a "poster boy of bear culture," and a "reigning bear icon."[1] In a 2009 list of bear icons, LGBT pop culture website Queerty stated, "In the bear porn industry, Radcliffe is God. It’s easy to see why– if Plato were a bear, this would be his ideal."[8]
Despite this, Radcliffe has downplayed his iconography within bear culture.[1][2][12]
Radcliffe was the most featured cover model in the history of Bear Magazine.[13] In his 2001 forward for author and academic scholar Les K. Wright's The Bear Book II: Further Readings in the History and Evolution of a Gay Male Subculture, former editor-in-chief of Drummer Jack Fritscher noted that Radcliffe remained Brush Creek Media's top box office earner and described him as an icon for the company.[5] Wright also described Radcliffe as the first to embody the "bear beauty" aesthetic with his specifically marketed films.[14] Conversely, Radcliffe has also been specifically identified as an example of the "muscle-bear" body type that later emerged in bear culture, contributing to a more muscular standard of beauty, seemingly in conflict with the "normal," "average," or fat ("chub") aesthetic origins of the bear community.[12][15]" AlejandroLeloirRey ( talk) 16:21, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

I know Wikimedia / Wikipedia has a dislike against non-free content, however, I'm hoping you could help me out with this one. I occasionally edit the Nathan Wyburn page and I have an association with the subject personally. We would both like to know if it is possible to upload the artist's non-free content only for the use on the Wikimedia projects, and if so, how we go about it. (So giving exclusive permissions to Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons to use the images, but not able to be used outside of the Wikimedia projects.) Up until now, I've had to upload it myself and then get the artist to send an email to OTRS. All of the wiki pages don't seem to be clear enough for me to properly understand the policies and procedures as I don't want to risk losing my account. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Mthowells200130 ( talk) 08:35, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding. That is, if a work is particularly significant to the artist's career such that a reader couldn't really understand the artist without it, we could host a non-free image of it. ‑ Iridescent 08:45, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
I spent a decent amount of time writing a draft of an article then submitted it to be published, and have been waiting to hear back on whether it was approved or not. Today, a user left a message on my talk page that they had gone ahead and made an article for the subject I wrote about, and had received a pending deletion notice because their article lacked sources and proof of notability. The deletion warning linked to my draft, recommending the two should be merged. The article creator was asking if I was interested in merging the two. In the same day that they received the deletion warning and left the message on my talk page, the user copied at least half of the content from my draft and published it in the live article they had created. I had yet to respond to their request to merge, so they did this without any permission from me. I am perfectly fine with the idea of merging the articles, but I had planned to add my content myself later in the day. I'm uncomfortable with how this was approached, and I feel as though I was plagiarized. So I'm wondering, is this normal practice? To copy another user's writing?

Hello, ColinFine. I didn't link to the article because I was more concerned with general practice and thought I provided enough information about the situation. Lena Key and I have communicated through our Talk pages and reached compromise I feel comfortable with, but I thank you for answering my question. I understand the open nature of Wikipedia's publishing platform and that I've given up all rights to what I have written, which is why I was more interested in what is generally acceptable and what I should expect when working with other user's written content and their interactions with mine moving forward.

Usedtobecool I still don't understand it.
This is one of the links I'm trying to use twice [1]

Where about's in the reference do I add it?
I've tried to add it before the curly brackets, and I've tried to add it after the curly brackets, but neither works.
Also in the box which comes up when you add a citation in the visual mode, where in there can I find the "Reference Name" category?
All I can see is when I search for the word "Name" is: URL, Title, Last Name, First Name, Source Date, Name of Website, Language, URL Status, Archive URL, Archive Date, URL Access Date, Publisher, Second Author First Name, Second Author Last Name, Editor First Name, Editor Last Name, Location of Publication, Script Title, Lay Source, Author Mask, First and Last names of another 7 authors, Author Name Separator, Last Author Ampersand, First and Last names of another 8 editors, and Published Via.

I thought it had failed again when I was checking the preview as it didn't have an (a)(b) thing next to the references at the bottom, however the reference number appeared twice in the text in the article itself, so it must have worked. I've still got more references to add before I publish and know for certain however.

Re: Francis Thompson
I am a writer/director and among many of my film and theatre work, I am presently in production with a feature film about Francis Thompson called 'HOUND' which is nearly completed. The information below was added on to the above poets page about a year ago and we noticed recently that somehow or other to our dismay the information was removed! (I then added the information back on) I would like to know how this has happened? and by whom? As I have proof of the film and the play version which I can send you on request, as I don't want this information to be taken off again. I also have my own Wikipedia page under Chris Ward (playwright). Also I have noticed all of my productions of 'HOUND' have also been removed from my page. (Which I am currently going to add this back on).
Thank you for your assistance in this matter and look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes
Chris Ward Wet Paint Theatre/Films
In 2012, Chris Ward's filmscript, Visions in the Life of the Victorian poet Francis Thompson 'Hound' was staged at the Riverside Studios, Hammersmith and following that the stage version was taken on a tour of London's churches including St Giles-in-the Fields and in St Olav's (City of London) in May 2014. The Film of 'HOUND' is now in production with a cast including Wayne Sleep, Toyah Willcox, Hazel O'Connor and the role of Francis Thompson is played by Daniel Hutchingson, to be released in 2021.

Previous discussion: Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive 1055#Requesting edit on Draft:Voxa
Hello All,
I posted here earlier asking for help with submitting the /info/en/?search=Draft:Voxa page. I have been told that it doesn't have enough cited information, however I don't think this is true. I have reviewed this /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Common_sourcing_mistakes_(notability), and feel that adequate citations exist. I have 3rd party sources that have written paragraphs in articles about either Voxa or the product it has created, Mochii. As I said on MER-C's talk page, I am a 16 year student who is new to publishing content to Wikipedia and I seem to be spinning in circles. This company came to my school a while back and I have been following them since, and the rocket launch seemed like quite a notable event. I have edited the tone of the page a lot to make sure that it is not promotional, and had someone on Teahouse deem that the tone is now up to scratch. I have cited 5 articles that discuss a rocket launch which had one of Voxa's products on it and these sources have around 2 paragraphs written about the product as the page on citations asks for, "think generally two paragraphs of text focused on the topic at issue.". I have also cited a NASA page which writes about the product. Along with these, I've also cited an independent research paper which mentions one of the company's other products and have cited the 2018 microscopy today innovation awards. Winning industry awards and having a product on the ISS both seem to be pretty notable things to me.
I am unclear as to why these don't qualify as legitimate sources. I have looked at other Wikipedia pages for help, for instance this: /info/en/?search=Ramit_Sethi, and don't see how that has better sourcing that qualifies. The Ramit Sethi page cites an article that interviews his parents, a lot of his company's websites, and an interview with people that he has worked with. I don't see how this is considered better sourcing than what I have provided.
Could someone please help and explain the threshold that is needed for adequate citations and explain to me what I am doing wrong. Any help would be amazing! Sachin Zachariah ( talk) 21:47, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

I am currently working on the Talking Tom and Friends franchise and related articles by copying pages to my sandbox, then copying them to mainspace once fixed (I’m just a fan of that franchise who noticed that some of the articles need to be rewritten) and I noticed that my device (an iPad 2017 (I know it’s old, I’ll be upgrading next year)) keeps on crashing once an entire page is selected, but before I can copy. This didn’t happen on the first time I copied large pieces of text here (maybe I was just lucky) but since last week, my device refuses to copy more than 20k bytes of code (maybe because Wikipedia’s editor is a bit resource-hungry? Or maybe Apple is downgrading performance through iPadOS?). I have been managing this by copying pages part by part when I have to move them, but that method is too tedious (it takes about 5 seconds for the copy option to show up each time)
So, is there any tool to copy entire pages to my sandbox and back to mainspace without altering the page history?

I want to create Wikipedia pages that show the results of the US Superbike National Championship from 1976 to today.
I would like the data to appear in the format that is used for the World Superbike Championship results, for example: [ [4]]. (One column per event.)
The data currently exists in a more linear format on a Wordpress page: [ [5]] (One table per event.)
Could I use scripting to extract the data from the Wordpress page and insert it into a Wikipedia table? Python or Perl, for example. Otherwise it will be a painful manual procedure. I don't see scripting described anywhere in your help. I would convert the Wordpress page to ASCII text, read it with a script, manipulate the data, and write it to a new ASCII file in the table format. Can I import an ASCII file into Wikipedia? I can imagine some hand cleanup would still be required.

Am really very much disappointed, I created article Lucy Achiro a while back but as it was waiting to reviewed, another editor created another article (same person) in the main space directly yesterday ,that's how my submission was declined today! This is not the first time, some time back, I created Nasiyo kamugo and as in the case above mine was rejected just because it took long before it could be reviewed. Now am sure this is exactly the fate that awaits my other submited article draft Alum Sandra ogwang Santa because I created it 3 days ago and it is awaiting review. Am disappointed and am inquiring if I should never submit articles again, maybe I should always create them on the main space directly because it's like am wasting time.

find too many articles that have questionable stances in their topics. To provide an example, Artificial Intelligence is a very popular topic these days, and I find these articles irritating at the least and difficult to glean any useful information. There are so many impartial opinions inserted in these articles, even fake citations/broken links I won't go past the first page in reading. Example pages: /info/en/?search=Artificial_intelligence Problems here are uses of poorly defined terms with questionable citations. The links provided are either so ancient they are literally only on the Internet Wayback Machine, or some junk website with inaccessible papers that have as far as I can tell, nothing to do with AI (something about frogs-tectums and maximum food). The person cited "Fanya Moltavo" does not seem to have anything to do with AI. With regards to the impartiality and the frequent use of non-existent-nothing-to-do-with-ai-female-oriented-topics just seems to me like a lot of pro-feminist malarky. My own politics aside, I'd like to keep Wikipedia impartial. I have donated good money in the past to help keep Wikipedia online. I am an educated individual, and I find Wikipedia to be a wonderful resource. I'll vote with my money if I have to. 71.32.50.78 ( talk) 01:41, 18 April 2020 (UTC) |

I have an odd question because I see categories for both. What's the difference between Category:American women ambassadors vs. Category:American women diplomats? I thought an ambassador and diplomat were the same thing, no? Snickers2686 ( talk) 16:49, 17 April 2020 (UTC) Snickers2686 ( talk) 16:49, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
But yes, there is a difference between a diplomat and an ambassador. A consul general is a diplomat, but not an ambassador. Hilary Clinton as Secretary of State, AFAIK, was never an ambassador so she would be listed as a diplomat and not an ambassador. Postcard Cathy ( talk) 01:07, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
@ Snickers2686: Ambassadors are a type of diplomat. It seems that Category:American women ambassadors should be in (i.e., a sub-category of) Category:American women diplomats.
I'll note that both of the categories that Category:American women ambassadors is in ( Category:Women ambassadors and Category:Ambassadors of the United States) are themselves in the relevant diplomat categories ( Category:Women diplomats and Category:American diplomats, respectively).
Also, siblings are done this way. E.g., Category:British women ambassadors is in Category:British women diplomats; Category:Australian women ambassadors is in Category:Australian women diplomats. This means that the female ambassador articles need only be in the more specific "* women ambassadors" category, and not in the "* women diplomats" category.
@ Postcard Cathy and PrimeHunter: I was about to put Category:American women ambassadors in Category:American women diplomats but before doing so, it occurred to me there might be a defined process for doing this, so that the articles that are in both categories have the less-specific Category:American women diplomats removed from them (right?). Is there a bot to do this? I spot-checked a few British and Australian ambassador articles and found all but one article in both categories, even though the ambassador category is not marked non-diffusing. —[ AlanM1 ( talk)]— 12:44, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

I have a keen interest in the economy and trade between nations. I often refer to a Wikipedia article “List of Countries by net trade”
/info/en/?search=List_of_countries_by_net_exports
I noticed the information was getting quite out of date and took it upon me to update it.
Unfortunately the source data itself from the CIA worldbook is itself two years out of date.
I managed to download their import and export world tables, their GDP growth table and combined the two To arrive at net exports and sorted the table.
I wrote a clever excel formula to Create exactly the same Wiki table entries.
I cut and pasted them into the wiki edit page.
The result looks ok
The new table has more countries and a few did not have a valid flag lookup.
I’d like someone to look over my work and I’d like to share the Excel formula that produces a wiki table from a spreadsheet
Could be quite useful for similar tables that require annual updates.

Hi Colin, Can't say I agree with your comments. None of the data is my original research. Each column has a footnote that takes you straight to the original published information. In this case the CIA world fact book. It's just that the CIA publication has a separate page for Exports and imports What the article does is subtract one from the other in a wiki sortable table. Remember the article is three years old and I did not write it. I just updated the data. Regards Marcus Lasancmt ( talk) 13:40, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
even if it's a simple subtraction of one set of numbers from another—that seems at odds with the WP:CALC section of WP:OR which says that
Routine calculations do not count as original research, provided there is consensus among editors that the result of the calculation is obvious, correct, and a meaningful reflection of the sources.Obviously consensus can change, but it seems that for a long time it's been accepted on that page that subtracting imports from exports satisfies the proviso given. YorkshireLad ✿ (talk) 14:12, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
Routine calculations, it means one or two calculations on a page, not few dozen. The examples given (age calculations etc) point to that conclusion as well. ThatMontrealIP ( talk) 18:19, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
adding numbersin WP:CALC to me implies that calculations with two different numbers from a source can be performed—there aren't many examples of converting units or similar where a constant that didn't need sourcing would be added to perform the conversion. Similarly, the example you give of calculating ages (e.g. ages at death) requires that sort of thing, since the birth and death dates aren't necessarily from even the same source.

This query is about this page: /info/en/?search=Robbie_Boyd and the last sentence in the opening text which reads: Boyd is a follower of the cult known as Universal Medicine [1]
The problem: An editor (Mramoeba) rewrote the page towards the end of last year. The final sentence is not substantiated by the reference given. The comment contravenes the guidance to make sure anything written about a living person is true and accurate. Moreover, it is causing anguish to the subject of the page. This resulted in him reaching out to me, knowing I updated the page with his new releases, asking if I could remove the sentence. I have tried to remove it but Mramoeba instantly restores it.
I should perhaps point out I have absolutely no conflict of interest regarding either the person the page is about or the organisation mentioned in the sentence under discussion.
So the Question is: How can I remove an untrue comment about a living person and not have someone immediately restore it. Kath Atkinson ( talk) 14:50, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

I am performing a GA review of Downtown Ossining Historic District and have a question about use of bold for contributing properties in this section of a NRHP article: Downtown Ossining Historic District § Significant contributing properties.
From MOS:BOLD, it does not appear as if the titles of contributing properties should be bolded, but perhaps it is ok because they are subsets of the historic district (i.e., fall under criteria for the article title).
Is it okay to use boldface in this instance? If not, is there another appropriate method to call out the article titles (emphasis mentioned in MOS:BOLD doesn't seem right for this instance)?

I'm in the process of creating an article about the film "A Day in Black and White" ( draft sandbox), but there seems to be some discrepancy regarding the film's premiere date. IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes both indicate the premiere date as being August 31st, 2001, stating it premiered at the Africa in the Picture Film Festival. However, I have multiple RS ( here and here) indicating it was shown at SXSW in March 1999, and the film's trailer indicates it was "written and directed for HBO" and premiered on that network in February 2001. I would assume the SXSW showing would constitute the premiere date for Infoxbox purposes, but I would like a second opinion. Thanks in advance. - Brother Bulldog ( talk) 11:50, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
Hello! Very new to Wikipedia. I recently cleaned up the translation of a Spanish-to-English page Maria Eugenia Suarez and added multiple paragraphs that were included in the Spanish page but not the English one.

So with the added paragraphs, I'm wondering if I can copy the (Spanish-language) citations over as well? Carla.Abra ( talk) 23:53, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
Thank you all! Your comments are very helpful. Carla.Abra ( talk) 02:23, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
Carla.Abra, all of the helpful comments above, including the use of the {{ Translated page}} template, are recommendations based on Wikipedia guidelines, or policy. However, there is one thing that nobody mentioned, that is required by Wikipedia's licensing requirements, and is not optional. When translating material from an article on another language Wikipedia, attribution must "be given to all users involved in creating and altering the content of a page". The way to do this, is to add an attribution statement in the edit summary of each edit where you added translated content. You can find a model attribution statement you can copy, here. If you neglected to provide attribution for a prior edit which included translated material, you can still add the attribution after the fact: please see WP:RIA for details. I do a lot of translations, and if you have any questions, you're welcome to contact me on my Talk page. Mathglot ( talk) 18:41, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Please note: aside from stating a number of (false) opinions – not facts – about my writing, the two quotations by the Tolkien “experts” are self-published authors whose own books are in direct competition with my books.

"Subject/headline: Grammatical formatting and abbreviation of U.S. state names"
I have two questions. I am writing an entry on an artist that includes a list of selected exhibitions with the exhibition titles, locations, etc. I am wondering how to format each item in the list. (Should I use periods or commas, and where should I use them?) I can't find an answer to this question in the style manual. Here is a sample item:
2009: “Faces.” Tempe Center for the Arts, Tempe, Arizona.
My other question for the whole piece is: Does Wikipedia use abbreviations for state names when they are being used with cities? Should I use Tempe, Arizona, Ariz. or AZ?
Thanks!

Hello, My name is Chef Terri Rogers. I own a plant-based food company in the USA, my brainchild is NOoodle, a healthy alternative to pasta derived from a yam plant and 97% water. I would like to ask my question to NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON. I am a student of his in his masterclass, he has been a great mentor to me in the short time he has been in my life. I live in NYC, the epicenter of LOVE. I have been writing me a new book, second, called " March Fouth in LOVE. I happen to be born on 3/4/1969 and my birthday spells out, March fourth in Love, which is suiting for this time in our lives. I have decided through seeing the weak, the poor and the homeless to turn my food manufacturing from 100% profit for myself and family to 100% profit for the people. My question today is because I have a mother, a father, a stepmom, a stepdad, a brother, a half brother, a sister in law and dear friend for over 30 years, another sister in law and two nieces and two nephews that I love dearly living in different parts of the state of 'Florida'. I have come to name it Florida because everything I know about the corruption that exists in every branch of government including that awful law, "The Baker Act", which drugs people against there will for 72 hours. What makes that law so much worse for me, someone who has always been in integrity with our tax laws, is that the only people who are NOT paying to create druggies of Floridas citizens are the people who live in the state of Florida. I have tried to tell my loved ones to leave the state. They are fortunate to have had the ability to work hard over time and now they can just get in their cars and drive to their other homes in Colorado and North Carolina. Instead they are saying that I am crazy and what I believe to be true, which is the second wave of Corona Virus to hit Florida over the next month, will be true. My parents are elderly and we have not seen eye to eye since the beginning of March, with the start of the corona virus. If only I could/we can have some more evidence in regards to this. I am chef who was a meat eater and now I am a veggie and fruit eater. I guess it really is true, Donald Trump has led us to a state of Fear. I am fearful today to eat. It seems as everything poses a threat of Corona. Neil... What is science really saying? I am listening, please speak into my listening. I believe that I am only one of the millions and millions of people around the world who are listening and what to know what you believe to be true in regards to the 'Scientific Point of View'. Thank you in advance for acknowledging my request of you. I would love it if you would come to Shephards Fountain in Central Park. We are there every day the sun is shining or at least it is not raining. Great artists sing and we spread out and do yoga, protocol fitness. I sing and dance on my head and show others how to dance and sing on there heads if that is what will bring them some joy during this interesting time in the world. I would love love love to meet you one day in Central Park. I believe I am a great public speaker. I was on stage in NYC as a girl and went to the University of Arizona and got my masters in human communication and did a lot of work debating and public speaking. I totally agree with the idea of coming to interviews ready with 10 times the knowledge than you think you may need to win. I have learned the hard way through my career that TRUE luck is when preparation meets opportunity, we must be ready when we are asked to be ready. As a 'Mother of Dragons & breaker of Chains, " Today I believe it is my duty to run for president of the USA. I will do my best to see that I am on the Reformed Party Ticket, after all, it is in Islip, NY... I grew up part-time in the summers in Fire-island. Anything to get this loser and the other old man out of the highest most powerful seat in all the land. I see an amazing and bright new future ahead. A future that is led with, by and from LOVE. Not fear, like the crap we are living with now. Real LOVE. The kind of love that comes from motherhood. I believe the day is coming soon that the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world. March Fourth in Love today... It is Monday a great day to do one of your hobbies that you have thought about, today just do it. Hobbies are fun and most of them don't really cost a thing except for our time and GOD knows, she-he-yall-we know, we have lots and lots of time today. Time... the biggest and greatest commodity that exists. Chef Terri Rogers

Hello, A few weeks ago I asked for the page Draft:Scott Disick to be unSALTed. It is my first time working with a SALTed article. The main page has been nominated for deletion four times in the past, but I believe the article is now ready for creation, since Disick's fame has increased. I received feedback that the articles I used were only passing mentions of Disick. This simply is not true. I cited more than 100 sources in this article, and while some of them do contain passing mentions, many do not. For example, Chicago Tribune, E! News, Architectural Digest, People, and this one HuffPost, among others. Additionally, notability is not temporary WP:NTEMP, and the most recent community consensus was to allow new draft, and you can find at least two other editors (alongside myself) who have commented on the main page talk page requesting that an article be made for this subject. Additionally, on Talk:Kourtney Kardashian there are several discussions in which people have suggested he receive his own article. I believe he meets WP:ENT parts one and two. He has been a main cast member in more than 140 episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, has his own show on E!Network (new since last discussion of his notability), and has guest starred on a number of other shows. In reference to point two of WP:ENT, he has a large fan base (23.5 million Instagram followers; 6.8 million Twitter followers - more than Adam Sandler, Gwen Stefani, the White House, etc.). Finally, the current redirect does not make sense, because he is no longer dating Kourtney Kardashian. He also meets WP:GNG, because he has significant coverage (which a quick Google search will show). I don't know how to improve the draft, and I think the editor simply did not approve it due to the past nominations. How can I go about getting this draft approved?

Right, so I've been trying to fix the Bengali cuisine article for a little over a year now, and one persistent issue I keep running into is that I don't know what to cite. Obviously, if New Yorker magazine (or something like that) had a segment discussing Bengali restaurants, that might be useful, but no such thing exists from what I see. Books are also an issue because Google Books obviously doesn't give you the whole book. There's a lot of interesting information that I know is true as a Bengali, but that I can't back up. I don't want to delete some of this stuff, but the only other means of supporting these statements is to cite blog posts or some sketchy recipe site. Then there's also the issue of the list of food, but I'm assuming the solution there is just to create a table. I'd appreciate any guidance because (vainly speaking) this article is one of the only ties I have to my ancestral culture, and I really want to improve it for that reason. puggo ( talk) 16:41, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

This helps editors quickly determine who added the message and when, helps archiving bots to know how old a message is, and most importantly, pinging/mentioning editors doesn't work unless you sign the post in the same edit. Since you didn't sign the post at the undeletion request, I did not get notified about your mention, until I read about it here. It was a simple refund request that would have been honoured without hassle in any case, which I can see that it already has. You can take your time with it.

☎️ 17:46, 20 April 2020 (UTC)Hallo, I am trying to improve bios of gay porn actors and it is a huge amount of work. most of those bios were created when notability policy here was very different and 95% of them now don't seem to fulfill any notability guideline on wikipedia. I am considering proposing for deletion most of the bios here: /info/en/?search=Category:American_actors_in_gay_pornographic_films as the sourcing is very bad and most of them don't seems to be notabile. I have learned that from the process some bios, those which are worthy it, come out improved so it could be a good idea but I wonder if that would be considered a vandal use of wikipedia. please note that I have put a template E on many of them but what is the point if that nobody cares for bios of not notable people?what do you think? thank you. -- AlejandroLeloirRey ( talk) 17:01, 20 April 2020 (UTC) AlejandroLeloirRey ( talk) 17:01, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

I have a message on my talk page from an editor who is unhappy. The problem is that he prepared a draft on Draft:Achiro Lucy Otim. While it was waiting to be reviewed, another editor put an article in article space on the same person. Maybe they were both reading the same newspaper. Because there was already an article in article space, I declined the draft, but I tagged the draft to be merged into the article. Am I correct that this was the right way to handle the duplication?

When a statement such as "this has never happened" or "nobody has observed it at any time" is given without proof, it stands in the article because a influential person holds that viewpoint (such as Einstein). This is being called " good bias" by Jimmy Wales and the Wikipedia moderators. How can somebody know that nobody else has ever had a particular experience?

Hello, I am in the process of designing a infobox law enforcement unit infobox. At present, editors use either the Template:Infobox military unit or the Template:Infobox law enforcement agency for law enforcement unit articles. I am having difficulty finding fellow editors to assist in designing as few editors are interested in the area - Wikipedia:WikiProject Law Enforcement was proposed for deletion in 2019. I might post on Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history as there are many editors familiar with that infobox used in many articles.

Hi - thank you Nick Moyes. I am new to this, and am learning. My bad! Won't happen again.
Hi, all! I suppose I'm not really a 'newcomer', but I wasn't sure where to ask my question. Sorry if I came to the wrong place, I guess. Anyways, I'm working on revamping President of the United Nations Security Council dramatically, but it's a rather large page, and it takes multiple seconds for anything I type to show up, making editing rather hard. Is there a way to fix this? Is it because I use the 2017 wikitext editor? Should I split the list of presidents to its own page? Any suggestions people might have are welcomed. For reference, I use the 2017 wikitext editor, visual editor and just about every beta feature. It's only a problem in source editing Eddie891 Talk Work 14:25, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

I am completely new at this, and I confess that I am overwhelmed by the complexity of the Wikipedia undertaking. I have just read through the "BE BOLD" section, and I'm already confused. Am I to understand that when I edit an article, I need to put all my changes in bold-face type so that another reader can tell where the edits are? I have done copy-editing/rewrite on a short historical note, freely deleting awkward language, and inserting language that improved grammar and clarity. I neither marked my text additions (as with, say, bold-face type) nor indicated text I proposed to delete. Did I do it wrong? ZAMOS47 ( talk) 14:58, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
Dear all, My recent submission for the article on Draft:Sasha_Zhoya was declined. Because I am a relatively new user, I would like to get some help of more experienced users to get it published. While the reviewer mentions the notability criteria WP:NATH, this article is relevant to Wikipedia since the athlete meets the criteria "7. Have at any time held a world or continental record (including world junior records, world youth bests, and masters age-group world records) ratified or noted by the relevant official body". In addition, the athlete got quite some media attention in both France and Australia because of his choice of sporting nationality justifying his presence on Wikipedia. However, I acknowledge that I may have lacked of neutrality by writing the article and updated the draft in that sense and so would like a second pair of eyes to check the article before a re-submission. Thanks in advance, Matbla1 ( talk) 07:57, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
My weekend was consumed by editing and practically re-writing this article, hoping that this encyclopaedia would be grateful to my contributions. I checked back on this article the other day, and I was shocked to find that this page had been vandalised, with almost all references and citations removed, and that was only in one paragraph : the only paragraph that had not been changed back, and all of my hours of work removed. This is horrific how Wikipedia reverts all our editing without even telling me why on my talk page/ inbox, and Wikipedia also banned me with no reason listed. This horrific corrupt encyclopaedia needs a 180 turn around, and I expect this article to be changed back to how I left it.

I recently nominated and achieved New Albion for GA recognition. Now, I am turning my attention to the Talk page which you may view HERE. That attention has resulted in questions regarding WikiProjects. The article is listed as active in five projects; namely, two relating to California and one each in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. The article is only marginally related to Washington and British Columbia and only slightly more so to Oregon. It is perfectly fitting to be included in the San Francisco and California projects. All of these projects have the article assessed as either C quality or not assessed. How is this changed, and is there anything I should do relating to this?
I believe there are projects for which this is quite appropriate--much more so than Oregon Washington, and British Columbia--yet they are not listed, to wit: Geography, England, Military, Military History, and probably others. Is there a specified or proper protocol for which these projects are notified, and is there anything I should do relating to this?

George Schaefer George Schaefer (1928 - 2013) was an American businessman known for his leadership with the Caterpillar Inc. construction equipment company. After graduating from Saint Louis University in 1951, Schaefer began his career at Caterpillar where he spent the next 39 years. Schaefer became chairman and CEO of Caterpillar in 1985 until 1990 when he retired. George Schaefer took over Caterpillar during troubled times, as the company's losses amounted to nearly $1 billion, strikes were prevalent at most of its plants across America, and foreign competition was becoming very strong. In 1985, Schaefer began his transformation of Caterpillar through a number of cost-cutting efforts, most notably having production take place offshore. Schaefer moved away from the centralized business model by implementing a number different programs which he had previously designed: venture capital, financial services, and product development. This structure that Schaefer created still remains in place today for the construction equipment company. Schaefer was also responsible for changing the company name from Caterpillar Tractor Co. to Caterpillar Inc. The transformation that Schaefer led while chairman drove Caterpillar from losses and uncertain times to achieving exponential profits and global growth. Schaefer was appointed to Ronald Regan's advisory committee for Trade Negotiations in April of 1987. |

Is a book found in Google Books an acceptable source? The book in question was published by a major publishing house. It has footnotes giving its sources, although in Google Books the page of footnotes that backs up the passage I'm interested in is missing, as Google Books does. I have looked for a better source for a paragraph on a page I was reading, James Pike. The rather lengthy, detailed paragraph about his death has no inline sources at all. I looked for a reliable source and found just blogs and other dubious sources, until I came across this biography of him at https://www.google.com/books/edition/_/kc6l3Cos440C. I suppose another way to go would be to look through the page's history, find who added that paragraph, go to that editor's talk page, and ask for a source from her or him.

responsible to publisha Wikipedia page about themselves/their company/family/organization/charity/etc. on Wikipedia. This is an encyclopedia – like Encyclopædia Britannica, World Book, or Encarta – not a business directory or means of promotion. There are places on the web that are specifically designed to help promote people and companies – Wikipedia is definitely not one of them. Wikipedia happens to have articles about a small number of companies (relative to the millions in the world), only because those companies have been written about extensively in independent reliable sources without direct involvement by the company, making them notable for Wikipedia's purposes. —[ AlanM1 ( talk)]— 22:22, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

Hallo, I am trying to improve Carlo Masi bio as it has been selected for deletion. He was a porn actor so sourcing is one of the hardest thing. I would like to mention that he appeared in many calendars (often on the cover) and there is a lot of merchandise after him. Do you think there is anyway I can source this? is for example amazon.com a possible source? After all any source that shows the cover would do, am I wrong? thank you for helping. -- AlejandroLeloirRey ( talk) 11:03, 15 April 2020 (UTC) AlejandroLeloirRey ( talk) 11:03, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

This page /info/en/?search=The_Logic_Factory contains information about a former game development company, which doesn't exist anymore. Yet in 2007 a Dutch software development company, called The Logic Factory, was founded. In the meantime this software development company has grown to an international company, with over 100 employees and offices in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, India and the United States of America.
Currently I am investigating the possibility to create a Wikipedia page for them, but now I am wondering wether the existing page of The Logic Factory should be modified or if a new page should be created for it. Anyone any suggestions? Pieter van der Wulp ( talk) 14:09, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Hallo, I am working on a porn actor bio and I bumped into François Sagat bio. I find it way too celebrative (promotional) and also full of insignificant details. Let me give you some examples :
plus there are way too many pictures making the bio appear to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia
he is definitely wikipedia materia but more than half of the page should be deleted and some sources added. is it something I should do my self or should I discuss somewhere before? what is the best thing to do?
Plus I didn't go through the sources yet. But this is my point of view: if you are a porn actor and you say you did a show in a disco sourcing is not important, but if you say you had a role in an important movie the source must be very good.

Hi dear reader!
I am currently working on my first Wikipedia article Draft:Text World Theory, which was declined because it needed more exact references. I want to cite my sources as accurately as possible, so most of my article relies on reliable, peer-reviewed articles and books. To be frank however, I also relied on the content of lectures and seminars that I followed as a student. Sometimes, I found the explanation of a professor to be very useful, so part of what I have written, draws from this. I personally know that their information is reliable as I find it to agree with the information that I find in additional resources that have been reviewed.
This however, is of course problematic. I cannot cite these additional sources directly for a number of reasons. Firstly, this is not the inital source that I have for the information, so it feels as though I am not being fair with my citations, as well as that the explanation of my professors might be different from the exact writings of other scholars. I also do not know where my professors got their information exactly, because I rely on their authority to learn something, rather than their exact citations (usually, they just state information without citing where they got it from, because they are authorities themselves). As they have been appointed a teaching position within the University, I assume that they are reliable. Secondly, I know that even though something might seem reliable to me, I might be biased or my professors might be wrong. Thusly, I am not sure whether citing a lecture or seminar actually meets the guidelines of Wikipedia, though I would want it to. Thirdly, even if I could cite my classes, they aren't public. This means that they cannot be checked by others that aren't fellow students or teachers of the same institute. This is of course extremely problematic.
I would love to cite my exact sources and provide all the exact details of the lectures or seminars I got the information from. It seems to me that that both improves the quality of the article, as well as that it credits the proper people as well. However, it seems like this format doesn't work for Wikipedia. What should I do? Owndifiction ( talk) 15:57, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Yesterday - April 14,2020 I sent e-mails to a number of mathematicians proposing the following: Bridgeman Conjecture
"There are at least two prime numbers between N2 and (N + 1)2 for every positive integer N, and two of these prime numbers form a twin prime in most cases. For N less than 215 the eleven known exceptions are when N is equal to 9, 19, 26, 27, 30, 34, 39, 49, 53, 77, and 122."
This conjecture implies proof of Legendre's Conjecture.
My question: How do I go about getting this conjecture added to Wikipedia and included in the info on Legendre's Conjecture? 2601:5C5:201:B0B0:B555:C64:290D:139 ( talk) 13:31, 15 April 2020 (UTC)James N. Bridgeman 2601:5C5:201:B0B0:B555:C64:290D:139 ( talk) 13:31, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
Hi all - I am a new contributor and have two questions that I'm hoping to get clarity on as I want to continue contributing to Wikipedia.
1. As an example, the Arts and Culture section in the Calgary Wikipedia page seems like a bit of a mess that could use some organization based on it being a wall of text covering many different types of art, arts venues, etc. However, I was thinking that an 'Arts and Culture in Calgary' page may be warranted and just want to know if that is within the spirit of Wikipedia?
2. Many cities have arts companies but am wondering in the context of arts companies, such as a dance company, what the level of notability is there? For example, to satisfy secondary sources, would a newspaper review of a performance, an interview with an artistic director, and a member of the company's published book or article suffice 'notability'?

"Legacy and cultural impact Radcliffe is often cited as an enduring iconic representation (if not the most iconic representative[2][7]) of the bear aesthetic in pornography, gay culture, and at large.[1][3][8][9][10][11] He has been described as "the Marilyn Monroe of bear culture,"[12] a "poster boy of bear culture," and a "reigning bear icon."[1] In a 2009 list of bear icons, LGBT pop culture website Queerty stated, "In the bear porn industry, Radcliffe is God. It’s easy to see why– if Plato were a bear, this would be his ideal."[8]
Despite this, Radcliffe has downplayed his iconography within bear culture.[1][2][12]
Radcliffe was the most featured cover model in the history of Bear Magazine.[13] In his 2001 forward for author and academic scholar Les K. Wright's The Bear Book II: Further Readings in the History and Evolution of a Gay Male Subculture, former editor-in-chief of Drummer Jack Fritscher noted that Radcliffe remained Brush Creek Media's top box office earner and described him as an icon for the company.[5] Wright also described Radcliffe as the first to embody the "bear beauty" aesthetic with his specifically marketed films.[14] Conversely, Radcliffe has also been specifically identified as an example of the "muscle-bear" body type that later emerged in bear culture, contributing to a more muscular standard of beauty, seemingly in conflict with the "normal," "average," or fat ("chub") aesthetic origins of the bear community.[12][15]" AlejandroLeloirRey ( talk) 16:21, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

I know Wikimedia / Wikipedia has a dislike against non-free content, however, I'm hoping you could help me out with this one. I occasionally edit the Nathan Wyburn page and I have an association with the subject personally. We would both like to know if it is possible to upload the artist's non-free content only for the use on the Wikimedia projects, and if so, how we go about it. (So giving exclusive permissions to Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons to use the images, but not able to be used outside of the Wikimedia projects.) Up until now, I've had to upload it myself and then get the artist to send an email to OTRS. All of the wiki pages don't seem to be clear enough for me to properly understand the policies and procedures as I don't want to risk losing my account. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Mthowells200130 ( talk) 08:35, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding. That is, if a work is particularly significant to the artist's career such that a reader couldn't really understand the artist without it, we could host a non-free image of it. ‑ Iridescent 08:45, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
I spent a decent amount of time writing a draft of an article then submitted it to be published, and have been waiting to hear back on whether it was approved or not. Today, a user left a message on my talk page that they had gone ahead and made an article for the subject I wrote about, and had received a pending deletion notice because their article lacked sources and proof of notability. The deletion warning linked to my draft, recommending the two should be merged. The article creator was asking if I was interested in merging the two. In the same day that they received the deletion warning and left the message on my talk page, the user copied at least half of the content from my draft and published it in the live article they had created. I had yet to respond to their request to merge, so they did this without any permission from me. I am perfectly fine with the idea of merging the articles, but I had planned to add my content myself later in the day. I'm uncomfortable with how this was approached, and I feel as though I was plagiarized. So I'm wondering, is this normal practice? To copy another user's writing?

Hello, ColinFine. I didn't link to the article because I was more concerned with general practice and thought I provided enough information about the situation. Lena Key and I have communicated through our Talk pages and reached compromise I feel comfortable with, but I thank you for answering my question. I understand the open nature of Wikipedia's publishing platform and that I've given up all rights to what I have written, which is why I was more interested in what is generally acceptable and what I should expect when working with other user's written content and their interactions with mine moving forward.

Usedtobecool I still don't understand it.
This is one of the links I'm trying to use twice [1]

Where about's in the reference do I add it?
I've tried to add it before the curly brackets, and I've tried to add it after the curly brackets, but neither works.
Also in the box which comes up when you add a citation in the visual mode, where in there can I find the "Reference Name" category?
All I can see is when I search for the word "Name" is: URL, Title, Last Name, First Name, Source Date, Name of Website, Language, URL Status, Archive URL, Archive Date, URL Access Date, Publisher, Second Author First Name, Second Author Last Name, Editor First Name, Editor Last Name, Location of Publication, Script Title, Lay Source, Author Mask, First and Last names of another 7 authors, Author Name Separator, Last Author Ampersand, First and Last names of another 8 editors, and Published Via.

I thought it had failed again when I was checking the preview as it didn't have an (a)(b) thing next to the references at the bottom, however the reference number appeared twice in the text in the article itself, so it must have worked. I've still got more references to add before I publish and know for certain however.

Re: Francis Thompson
I am a writer/director and among many of my film and theatre work, I am presently in production with a feature film about Francis Thompson called 'HOUND' which is nearly completed. The information below was added on to the above poets page about a year ago and we noticed recently that somehow or other to our dismay the information was removed! (I then added the information back on) I would like to know how this has happened? and by whom? As I have proof of the film and the play version which I can send you on request, as I don't want this information to be taken off again. I also have my own Wikipedia page under Chris Ward (playwright). Also I have noticed all of my productions of 'HOUND' have also been removed from my page. (Which I am currently going to add this back on).
Thank you for your assistance in this matter and look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes
Chris Ward Wet Paint Theatre/Films
In 2012, Chris Ward's filmscript, Visions in the Life of the Victorian poet Francis Thompson 'Hound' was staged at the Riverside Studios, Hammersmith and following that the stage version was taken on a tour of London's churches including St Giles-in-the Fields and in St Olav's (City of London) in May 2014. The Film of 'HOUND' is now in production with a cast including Wayne Sleep, Toyah Willcox, Hazel O'Connor and the role of Francis Thompson is played by Daniel Hutchingson, to be released in 2021.

Previous discussion: Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive 1055#Requesting edit on Draft:Voxa
Hello All,
I posted here earlier asking for help with submitting the /info/en/?search=Draft:Voxa page. I have been told that it doesn't have enough cited information, however I don't think this is true. I have reviewed this /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Common_sourcing_mistakes_(notability), and feel that adequate citations exist. I have 3rd party sources that have written paragraphs in articles about either Voxa or the product it has created, Mochii. As I said on MER-C's talk page, I am a 16 year student who is new to publishing content to Wikipedia and I seem to be spinning in circles. This company came to my school a while back and I have been following them since, and the rocket launch seemed like quite a notable event. I have edited the tone of the page a lot to make sure that it is not promotional, and had someone on Teahouse deem that the tone is now up to scratch. I have cited 5 articles that discuss a rocket launch which had one of Voxa's products on it and these sources have around 2 paragraphs written about the product as the page on citations asks for, "think generally two paragraphs of text focused on the topic at issue.". I have also cited a NASA page which writes about the product. Along with these, I've also cited an independent research paper which mentions one of the company's other products and have cited the 2018 microscopy today innovation awards. Winning industry awards and having a product on the ISS both seem to be pretty notable things to me.
I am unclear as to why these don't qualify as legitimate sources. I have looked at other Wikipedia pages for help, for instance this: /info/en/?search=Ramit_Sethi, and don't see how that has better sourcing that qualifies. The Ramit Sethi page cites an article that interviews his parents, a lot of his company's websites, and an interview with people that he has worked with. I don't see how this is considered better sourcing than what I have provided.
Could someone please help and explain the threshold that is needed for adequate citations and explain to me what I am doing wrong. Any help would be amazing! Sachin Zachariah ( talk) 21:47, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

I am currently working on the Talking Tom and Friends franchise and related articles by copying pages to my sandbox, then copying them to mainspace once fixed (I’m just a fan of that franchise who noticed that some of the articles need to be rewritten) and I noticed that my device (an iPad 2017 (I know it’s old, I’ll be upgrading next year)) keeps on crashing once an entire page is selected, but before I can copy. This didn’t happen on the first time I copied large pieces of text here (maybe I was just lucky) but since last week, my device refuses to copy more than 20k bytes of code (maybe because Wikipedia’s editor is a bit resource-hungry? Or maybe Apple is downgrading performance through iPadOS?). I have been managing this by copying pages part by part when I have to move them, but that method is too tedious (it takes about 5 seconds for the copy option to show up each time)
So, is there any tool to copy entire pages to my sandbox and back to mainspace without altering the page history?

I want to create Wikipedia pages that show the results of the US Superbike National Championship from 1976 to today.
I would like the data to appear in the format that is used for the World Superbike Championship results, for example: [ [4]]. (One column per event.)
The data currently exists in a more linear format on a Wordpress page: [ [5]] (One table per event.)
Could I use scripting to extract the data from the Wordpress page and insert it into a Wikipedia table? Python or Perl, for example. Otherwise it will be a painful manual procedure. I don't see scripting described anywhere in your help. I would convert the Wordpress page to ASCII text, read it with a script, manipulate the data, and write it to a new ASCII file in the table format. Can I import an ASCII file into Wikipedia? I can imagine some hand cleanup would still be required.

Am really very much disappointed, I created article Lucy Achiro a while back but as it was waiting to reviewed, another editor created another article (same person) in the main space directly yesterday ,that's how my submission was declined today! This is not the first time, some time back, I created Nasiyo kamugo and as in the case above mine was rejected just because it took long before it could be reviewed. Now am sure this is exactly the fate that awaits my other submited article draft Alum Sandra ogwang Santa because I created it 3 days ago and it is awaiting review. Am disappointed and am inquiring if I should never submit articles again, maybe I should always create them on the main space directly because it's like am wasting time.

find too many articles that have questionable stances in their topics. To provide an example, Artificial Intelligence is a very popular topic these days, and I find these articles irritating at the least and difficult to glean any useful information. There are so many impartial opinions inserted in these articles, even fake citations/broken links I won't go past the first page in reading. Example pages: /info/en/?search=Artificial_intelligence Problems here are uses of poorly defined terms with questionable citations. The links provided are either so ancient they are literally only on the Internet Wayback Machine, or some junk website with inaccessible papers that have as far as I can tell, nothing to do with AI (something about frogs-tectums and maximum food). The person cited "Fanya Moltavo" does not seem to have anything to do with AI. With regards to the impartiality and the frequent use of non-existent-nothing-to-do-with-ai-female-oriented-topics just seems to me like a lot of pro-feminist malarky. My own politics aside, I'd like to keep Wikipedia impartial. I have donated good money in the past to help keep Wikipedia online. I am an educated individual, and I find Wikipedia to be a wonderful resource. I'll vote with my money if I have to. 71.32.50.78 ( talk) 01:41, 18 April 2020 (UTC) |

I have an odd question because I see categories for both. What's the difference between Category:American women ambassadors vs. Category:American women diplomats? I thought an ambassador and diplomat were the same thing, no? Snickers2686 ( talk) 16:49, 17 April 2020 (UTC) Snickers2686 ( talk) 16:49, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
But yes, there is a difference between a diplomat and an ambassador. A consul general is a diplomat, but not an ambassador. Hilary Clinton as Secretary of State, AFAIK, was never an ambassador so she would be listed as a diplomat and not an ambassador. Postcard Cathy ( talk) 01:07, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
@ Snickers2686: Ambassadors are a type of diplomat. It seems that Category:American women ambassadors should be in (i.e., a sub-category of) Category:American women diplomats.
I'll note that both of the categories that Category:American women ambassadors is in ( Category:Women ambassadors and Category:Ambassadors of the United States) are themselves in the relevant diplomat categories ( Category:Women diplomats and Category:American diplomats, respectively).
Also, siblings are done this way. E.g., Category:British women ambassadors is in Category:British women diplomats; Category:Australian women ambassadors is in Category:Australian women diplomats. This means that the female ambassador articles need only be in the more specific "* women ambassadors" category, and not in the "* women diplomats" category.
@ Postcard Cathy and PrimeHunter: I was about to put Category:American women ambassadors in Category:American women diplomats but before doing so, it occurred to me there might be a defined process for doing this, so that the articles that are in both categories have the less-specific Category:American women diplomats removed from them (right?). Is there a bot to do this? I spot-checked a few British and Australian ambassador articles and found all but one article in both categories, even though the ambassador category is not marked non-diffusing. —[ AlanM1 ( talk)]— 12:44, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

I have a keen interest in the economy and trade between nations. I often refer to a Wikipedia article “List of Countries by net trade”
/info/en/?search=List_of_countries_by_net_exports
I noticed the information was getting quite out of date and took it upon me to update it.
Unfortunately the source data itself from the CIA worldbook is itself two years out of date.
I managed to download their import and export world tables, their GDP growth table and combined the two To arrive at net exports and sorted the table.
I wrote a clever excel formula to Create exactly the same Wiki table entries.
I cut and pasted them into the wiki edit page.
The result looks ok
The new table has more countries and a few did not have a valid flag lookup.
I’d like someone to look over my work and I’d like to share the Excel formula that produces a wiki table from a spreadsheet
Could be quite useful for similar tables that require annual updates.

Hi Colin, Can't say I agree with your comments. None of the data is my original research. Each column has a footnote that takes you straight to the original published information. In this case the CIA world fact book. It's just that the CIA publication has a separate page for Exports and imports What the article does is subtract one from the other in a wiki sortable table. Remember the article is three years old and I did not write it. I just updated the data. Regards Marcus Lasancmt ( talk) 13:40, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
even if it's a simple subtraction of one set of numbers from another—that seems at odds with the WP:CALC section of WP:OR which says that
Routine calculations do not count as original research, provided there is consensus among editors that the result of the calculation is obvious, correct, and a meaningful reflection of the sources.Obviously consensus can change, but it seems that for a long time it's been accepted on that page that subtracting imports from exports satisfies the proviso given. YorkshireLad ✿ (talk) 14:12, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
Routine calculations, it means one or two calculations on a page, not few dozen. The examples given (age calculations etc) point to that conclusion as well. ThatMontrealIP ( talk) 18:19, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
adding numbersin WP:CALC to me implies that calculations with two different numbers from a source can be performed—there aren't many examples of converting units or similar where a constant that didn't need sourcing would be added to perform the conversion. Similarly, the example you give of calculating ages (e.g. ages at death) requires that sort of thing, since the birth and death dates aren't necessarily from even the same source.

This query is about this page: /info/en/?search=Robbie_Boyd and the last sentence in the opening text which reads: Boyd is a follower of the cult known as Universal Medicine [1]
The problem: An editor (Mramoeba) rewrote the page towards the end of last year. The final sentence is not substantiated by the reference given. The comment contravenes the guidance to make sure anything written about a living person is true and accurate. Moreover, it is causing anguish to the subject of the page. This resulted in him reaching out to me, knowing I updated the page with his new releases, asking if I could remove the sentence. I have tried to remove it but Mramoeba instantly restores it.
I should perhaps point out I have absolutely no conflict of interest regarding either the person the page is about or the organisation mentioned in the sentence under discussion.
So the Question is: How can I remove an untrue comment about a living person and not have someone immediately restore it. Kath Atkinson ( talk) 14:50, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

I am performing a GA review of Downtown Ossining Historic District and have a question about use of bold for contributing properties in this section of a NRHP article: Downtown Ossining Historic District § Significant contributing properties.
From MOS:BOLD, it does not appear as if the titles of contributing properties should be bolded, but perhaps it is ok because they are subsets of the historic district (i.e., fall under criteria for the article title).
Is it okay to use boldface in this instance? If not, is there another appropriate method to call out the article titles (emphasis mentioned in MOS:BOLD doesn't seem right for this instance)?

I'm in the process of creating an article about the film "A Day in Black and White" ( draft sandbox), but there seems to be some discrepancy regarding the film's premiere date. IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes both indicate the premiere date as being August 31st, 2001, stating it premiered at the Africa in the Picture Film Festival. However, I have multiple RS ( here and here) indicating it was shown at SXSW in March 1999, and the film's trailer indicates it was "written and directed for HBO" and premiered on that network in February 2001. I would assume the SXSW showing would constitute the premiere date for Infoxbox purposes, but I would like a second opinion. Thanks in advance. - Brother Bulldog ( talk) 11:50, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
Hello! Very new to Wikipedia. I recently cleaned up the translation of a Spanish-to-English page Maria Eugenia Suarez and added multiple paragraphs that were included in the Spanish page but not the English one.

So with the added paragraphs, I'm wondering if I can copy the (Spanish-language) citations over as well? Carla.Abra ( talk) 23:53, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
Thank you all! Your comments are very helpful. Carla.Abra ( talk) 02:23, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
Carla.Abra, all of the helpful comments above, including the use of the {{ Translated page}} template, are recommendations based on Wikipedia guidelines, or policy. However, there is one thing that nobody mentioned, that is required by Wikipedia's licensing requirements, and is not optional. When translating material from an article on another language Wikipedia, attribution must "be given to all users involved in creating and altering the content of a page". The way to do this, is to add an attribution statement in the edit summary of each edit where you added translated content. You can find a model attribution statement you can copy, here. If you neglected to provide attribution for a prior edit which included translated material, you can still add the attribution after the fact: please see WP:RIA for details. I do a lot of translations, and if you have any questions, you're welcome to contact me on my Talk page. Mathglot ( talk) 18:41, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Please note: aside from stating a number of (false) opinions – not facts – about my writing, the two quotations by the Tolkien “experts” are self-published authors whose own books are in direct competition with my books.

"Subject/headline: Grammatical formatting and abbreviation of U.S. state names"
I have two questions. I am writing an entry on an artist that includes a list of selected exhibitions with the exhibition titles, locations, etc. I am wondering how to format each item in the list. (Should I use periods or commas, and where should I use them?) I can't find an answer to this question in the style manual. Here is a sample item:
2009: “Faces.” Tempe Center for the Arts, Tempe, Arizona.
My other question for the whole piece is: Does Wikipedia use abbreviations for state names when they are being used with cities? Should I use Tempe, Arizona, Ariz. or AZ?
Thanks!

Hello, My name is Chef Terri Rogers. I own a plant-based food company in the USA, my brainchild is NOoodle, a healthy alternative to pasta derived from a yam plant and 97% water. I would like to ask my question to NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON. I am a student of his in his masterclass, he has been a great mentor to me in the short time he has been in my life. I live in NYC, the epicenter of LOVE. I have been writing me a new book, second, called " March Fouth in LOVE. I happen to be born on 3/4/1969 and my birthday spells out, March fourth in Love, which is suiting for this time in our lives. I have decided through seeing the weak, the poor and the homeless to turn my food manufacturing from 100% profit for myself and family to 100% profit for the people. My question today is because I have a mother, a father, a stepmom, a stepdad, a brother, a half brother, a sister in law and dear friend for over 30 years, another sister in law and two nieces and two nephews that I love dearly living in different parts of the state of 'Florida'. I have come to name it Florida because everything I know about the corruption that exists in every branch of government including that awful law, "The Baker Act", which drugs people against there will for 72 hours. What makes that law so much worse for me, someone who has always been in integrity with our tax laws, is that the only people who are NOT paying to create druggies of Floridas citizens are the people who live in the state of Florida. I have tried to tell my loved ones to leave the state. They are fortunate to have had the ability to work hard over time and now they can just get in their cars and drive to their other homes in Colorado and North Carolina. Instead they are saying that I am crazy and what I believe to be true, which is the second wave of Corona Virus to hit Florida over the next month, will be true. My parents are elderly and we have not seen eye to eye since the beginning of March, with the start of the corona virus. If only I could/we can have some more evidence in regards to this. I am chef who was a meat eater and now I am a veggie and fruit eater. I guess it really is true, Donald Trump has led us to a state of Fear. I am fearful today to eat. It seems as everything poses a threat of Corona. Neil... What is science really saying? I am listening, please speak into my listening. I believe that I am only one of the millions and millions of people around the world who are listening and what to know what you believe to be true in regards to the 'Scientific Point of View'. Thank you in advance for acknowledging my request of you. I would love it if you would come to Shephards Fountain in Central Park. We are there every day the sun is shining or at least it is not raining. Great artists sing and we spread out and do yoga, protocol fitness. I sing and dance on my head and show others how to dance and sing on there heads if that is what will bring them some joy during this interesting time in the world. I would love love love to meet you one day in Central Park. I believe I am a great public speaker. I was on stage in NYC as a girl and went to the University of Arizona and got my masters in human communication and did a lot of work debating and public speaking. I totally agree with the idea of coming to interviews ready with 10 times the knowledge than you think you may need to win. I have learned the hard way through my career that TRUE luck is when preparation meets opportunity, we must be ready when we are asked to be ready. As a 'Mother of Dragons & breaker of Chains, " Today I believe it is my duty to run for president of the USA. I will do my best to see that I am on the Reformed Party Ticket, after all, it is in Islip, NY... I grew up part-time in the summers in Fire-island. Anything to get this loser and the other old man out of the highest most powerful seat in all the land. I see an amazing and bright new future ahead. A future that is led with, by and from LOVE. Not fear, like the crap we are living with now. Real LOVE. The kind of love that comes from motherhood. I believe the day is coming soon that the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world. March Fourth in Love today... It is Monday a great day to do one of your hobbies that you have thought about, today just do it. Hobbies are fun and most of them don't really cost a thing except for our time and GOD knows, she-he-yall-we know, we have lots and lots of time today. Time... the biggest and greatest commodity that exists. Chef Terri Rogers

Hello, A few weeks ago I asked for the page Draft:Scott Disick to be unSALTed. It is my first time working with a SALTed article. The main page has been nominated for deletion four times in the past, but I believe the article is now ready for creation, since Disick's fame has increased. I received feedback that the articles I used were only passing mentions of Disick. This simply is not true. I cited more than 100 sources in this article, and while some of them do contain passing mentions, many do not. For example, Chicago Tribune, E! News, Architectural Digest, People, and this one HuffPost, among others. Additionally, notability is not temporary WP:NTEMP, and the most recent community consensus was to allow new draft, and you can find at least two other editors (alongside myself) who have commented on the main page talk page requesting that an article be made for this subject. Additionally, on Talk:Kourtney Kardashian there are several discussions in which people have suggested he receive his own article. I believe he meets WP:ENT parts one and two. He has been a main cast member in more than 140 episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, has his own show on E!Network (new since last discussion of his notability), and has guest starred on a number of other shows. In reference to point two of WP:ENT, he has a large fan base (23.5 million Instagram followers; 6.8 million Twitter followers - more than Adam Sandler, Gwen Stefani, the White House, etc.). Finally, the current redirect does not make sense, because he is no longer dating Kourtney Kardashian. He also meets WP:GNG, because he has significant coverage (which a quick Google search will show). I don't know how to improve the draft, and I think the editor simply did not approve it due to the past nominations. How can I go about getting this draft approved?

Right, so I've been trying to fix the Bengali cuisine article for a little over a year now, and one persistent issue I keep running into is that I don't know what to cite. Obviously, if New Yorker magazine (or something like that) had a segment discussing Bengali restaurants, that might be useful, but no such thing exists from what I see. Books are also an issue because Google Books obviously doesn't give you the whole book. There's a lot of interesting information that I know is true as a Bengali, but that I can't back up. I don't want to delete some of this stuff, but the only other means of supporting these statements is to cite blog posts or some sketchy recipe site. Then there's also the issue of the list of food, but I'm assuming the solution there is just to create a table. I'd appreciate any guidance because (vainly speaking) this article is one of the only ties I have to my ancestral culture, and I really want to improve it for that reason. puggo ( talk) 16:41, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

This helps editors quickly determine who added the message and when, helps archiving bots to know how old a message is, and most importantly, pinging/mentioning editors doesn't work unless you sign the post in the same edit. Since you didn't sign the post at the undeletion request, I did not get notified about your mention, until I read about it here. It was a simple refund request that would have been honoured without hassle in any case, which I can see that it already has. You can take your time with it.

☎️ 17:46, 20 April 2020 (UTC)Hallo, I am trying to improve bios of gay porn actors and it is a huge amount of work. most of those bios were created when notability policy here was very different and 95% of them now don't seem to fulfill any notability guideline on wikipedia. I am considering proposing for deletion most of the bios here: /info/en/?search=Category:American_actors_in_gay_pornographic_films as the sourcing is very bad and most of them don't seems to be notabile. I have learned that from the process some bios, those which are worthy it, come out improved so it could be a good idea but I wonder if that would be considered a vandal use of wikipedia. please note that I have put a template E on many of them but what is the point if that nobody cares for bios of not notable people?what do you think? thank you. -- AlejandroLeloirRey ( talk) 17:01, 20 April 2020 (UTC) AlejandroLeloirRey ( talk) 17:01, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

I have a message on my talk page from an editor who is unhappy. The problem is that he prepared a draft on Draft:Achiro Lucy Otim. While it was waiting to be reviewed, another editor put an article in article space on the same person. Maybe they were both reading the same newspaper. Because there was already an article in article space, I declined the draft, but I tagged the draft to be merged into the article. Am I correct that this was the right way to handle the duplication?

When a statement such as "this has never happened" or "nobody has observed it at any time" is given without proof, it stands in the article because a influential person holds that viewpoint (such as Einstein). This is being called " good bias" by Jimmy Wales and the Wikipedia moderators. How can somebody know that nobody else has ever had a particular experience?

Hello, I am in the process of designing a infobox law enforcement unit infobox. At present, editors use either the Template:Infobox military unit or the Template:Infobox law enforcement agency for law enforcement unit articles. I am having difficulty finding fellow editors to assist in designing as few editors are interested in the area - Wikipedia:WikiProject Law Enforcement was proposed for deletion in 2019. I might post on Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history as there are many editors familiar with that infobox used in many articles.

Hi - thank you Nick Moyes. I am new to this, and am learning. My bad! Won't happen again.
Hi, all! I suppose I'm not really a 'newcomer', but I wasn't sure where to ask my question. Sorry if I came to the wrong place, I guess. Anyways, I'm working on revamping President of the United Nations Security Council dramatically, but it's a rather large page, and it takes multiple seconds for anything I type to show up, making editing rather hard. Is there a way to fix this? Is it because I use the 2017 wikitext editor? Should I split the list of presidents to its own page? Any suggestions people might have are welcomed. For reference, I use the 2017 wikitext editor, visual editor and just about every beta feature. It's only a problem in source editing Eddie891 Talk Work 14:25, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

I am completely new at this, and I confess that I am overwhelmed by the complexity of the Wikipedia undertaking. I have just read through the "BE BOLD" section, and I'm already confused. Am I to understand that when I edit an article, I need to put all my changes in bold-face type so that another reader can tell where the edits are? I have done copy-editing/rewrite on a short historical note, freely deleting awkward language, and inserting language that improved grammar and clarity. I neither marked my text additions (as with, say, bold-face type) nor indicated text I proposed to delete. Did I do it wrong? ZAMOS47 ( talk) 14:58, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
Dear all, My recent submission for the article on Draft:Sasha_Zhoya was declined. Because I am a relatively new user, I would like to get some help of more experienced users to get it published. While the reviewer mentions the notability criteria WP:NATH, this article is relevant to Wikipedia since the athlete meets the criteria "7. Have at any time held a world or continental record (including world junior records, world youth bests, and masters age-group world records) ratified or noted by the relevant official body". In addition, the athlete got quite some media attention in both France and Australia because of his choice of sporting nationality justifying his presence on Wikipedia. However, I acknowledge that I may have lacked of neutrality by writing the article and updated the draft in that sense and so would like a second pair of eyes to check the article before a re-submission. Thanks in advance, Matbla1 ( talk) 07:57, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
My weekend was consumed by editing and practically re-writing this article, hoping that this encyclopaedia would be grateful to my contributions. I checked back on this article the other day, and I was shocked to find that this page had been vandalised, with almost all references and citations removed, and that was only in one paragraph : the only paragraph that had not been changed back, and all of my hours of work removed. This is horrific how Wikipedia reverts all our editing without even telling me why on my talk page/ inbox, and Wikipedia also banned me with no reason listed. This horrific corrupt encyclopaedia needs a 180 turn around, and I expect this article to be changed back to how I left it.

I recently nominated and achieved New Albion for GA recognition. Now, I am turning my attention to the Talk page which you may view HERE. That attention has resulted in questions regarding WikiProjects. The article is listed as active in five projects; namely, two relating to California and one each in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. The article is only marginally related to Washington and British Columbia and only slightly more so to Oregon. It is perfectly fitting to be included in the San Francisco and California projects. All of these projects have the article assessed as either C quality or not assessed. How is this changed, and is there anything I should do relating to this?
I believe there are projects for which this is quite appropriate--much more so than Oregon Washington, and British Columbia--yet they are not listed, to wit: Geography, England, Military, Military History, and probably others. Is there a specified or proper protocol for which these projects are notified, and is there anything I should do relating to this?

George Schaefer George Schaefer (1928 - 2013) was an American businessman known for his leadership with the Caterpillar Inc. construction equipment company. After graduating from Saint Louis University in 1951, Schaefer began his career at Caterpillar where he spent the next 39 years. Schaefer became chairman and CEO of Caterpillar in 1985 until 1990 when he retired. George Schaefer took over Caterpillar during troubled times, as the company's losses amounted to nearly $1 billion, strikes were prevalent at most of its plants across America, and foreign competition was becoming very strong. In 1985, Schaefer began his transformation of Caterpillar through a number of cost-cutting efforts, most notably having production take place offshore. Schaefer moved away from the centralized business model by implementing a number different programs which he had previously designed: venture capital, financial services, and product development. This structure that Schaefer created still remains in place today for the construction equipment company. Schaefer was also responsible for changing the company name from Caterpillar Tractor Co. to Caterpillar Inc. The transformation that Schaefer led while chairman drove Caterpillar from losses and uncertain times to achieving exponential profits and global growth. Schaefer was appointed to Ronald Regan's advisory committee for Trade Negotiations in April of 1987. |

Is a book found in Google Books an acceptable source? The book in question was published by a major publishing house. It has footnotes giving its sources, although in Google Books the page of footnotes that backs up the passage I'm interested in is missing, as Google Books does. I have looked for a better source for a paragraph on a page I was reading, James Pike. The rather lengthy, detailed paragraph about his death has no inline sources at all. I looked for a reliable source and found just blogs and other dubious sources, until I came across this biography of him at https://www.google.com/books/edition/_/kc6l3Cos440C. I suppose another way to go would be to look through the page's history, find who added that paragraph, go to that editor's talk page, and ask for a source from her or him.

responsible to publisha Wikipedia page about themselves/their company/family/organization/charity/etc. on Wikipedia. This is an encyclopedia – like Encyclopædia Britannica, World Book, or Encarta – not a business directory or means of promotion. There are places on the web that are specifically designed to help promote people and companies – Wikipedia is definitely not one of them. Wikipedia happens to have articles about a small number of companies (relative to the millions in the world), only because those companies have been written about extensively in independent reliable sources without direct involvement by the company, making them notable for Wikipedia's purposes. —[ AlanM1 ( talk)]— 22:22, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
