My uncle recently passed away and as a memorial, I want to create a wiki page in his honor. He was a 2-time academy award-winner for the Disney CAPS system and Digital archiving respectively, and a pioneer in digital imaging technology. This would be a great way to memorialize him and am looking for the resources into how to format, content, and getting the article approved. please let me know.

With her growing success, Alexandra stays focused;
Alexandra has taken a piece from each project with her on her journey,and much of the other language in this draft is quite unsuitable for Wikipedia. It sounds like a blog post or a magazine article much influenced by marketing efforts. Oh and the subject should be referred to by last name only after the initial mention, never by first name.

Hi all. I have some experience with Wikipedia, have been contributing little fixes here and there, and spent this weekend writing my first proper article here: fast.ai. After just a few hours it's already up for deletion and I'm a little discouraged. The reason for deletion would be the "promotional" tone which is unintentional, as I have no affiliation with this research institute at all. I just know and respect it for the MOOC they provide online, and thought a page would be appropriate as both founders also have a wikipedia page ( Jeremy Howard and Rachel Thomas). I'm not sure how to proceed. I've been trying to edit the article and removed some stuff, but now it feels like maybe it's gotten too short? I guess I don't really understand the inclusion criteria. Could you please guide me on how to improve the tone, or help editing it so it's more neutral? (because honestly I don't really see the problem). Any advice on how to avoid this in the future? I'm not sure I'd want to spend another weekend on a new article, researching references etc, just to get it deleted :( Any help would be much appreciated! Paritalo ( talk) 18:57, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
Concerning the Appropriateness of the section "2020 attack on protesters" in the Layafette Park article
The following was posted to the Layafette Park talk page on 05:26, 5 June 2020 (UTC). It presents my concern and a suggestion to resolve my concern.
I think this issue needs attention but in the Wikimonolith I am not sure where to address it. So I seek out the Teahouse council.
No one seems to read or write on the Layafette Park talk page. Today, June 5, so far there have been five edits made on this section. As I pointed out above, this section will be continuously revised and revised per the whim of anonymous editors. Layette Park, as a Wikipedia article, does not need to be a literal field of attack and parry.
Restating my resolution briefly: If a "See Also" section reference is good enough for Pearl Harbor, a "See Also" section reference will certainly be good enough for Layafette Park.
Please help me on how to proceed. Osomite ( talk) 21:38, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi,
I love Wikipedia, and as you can see have done some edits over the years. I'm sure they're all OK.
I was going to do some today (on BBC Radio 2), and I noticed the page's Talk page had comments in it, describing various issues.
Should I have been adding anything to the Talk pages of ones I have done in the past? Or are my notes that I submit with a change enough?

Good morning; I have now and then contributed from my field of expertise, ophthalmology; and have created 5 pages: three about (living) major innovators in ophthalmology, one about a new surgical technique introduced by one of these three and another page on a syndrome described by another of these physicians; a term that has become widely acceepted in medical terminology over the last years.
The pages are: Josef Flammer, Daniel Mojon, Burkhard Dick, Flammer syndrome, Minimally invasive strabismus surgery
These 5 contributions have been marked with a COI notice by a major "Wikipedian" who goes as Doc James. I have tried to make clear that I do not have any connection to these individuals other than knowing them (ever eye doctor in Europe and many in the rest of the world do), have not worked for them, do not work for them etc. To no avail. The stigma - yes, that's what it is - remains on these pages and, frankly, it is a blot on the reputation of these scientists ! My declaration of having no conflict of interest on talk pages elicited no reaction, Doc James did not anser my emails. This is very frustrating and tempers the motivation to do something on Wikipedia EN. I would apprecitate your advice. Is there some place on W where I can file something like a complaint ? Best 15:04, 5 June 2020 (UTC) George G Milford ( talk)
"That someone has a conflict of interest is a description of a situation, not a judgement about that person's opinions, integrity, or good faith."But I do tend to agree with you that, at first sight, none of the articles you created or edited seem biased towards promoting someone or something, though, as suggested above, it is best if you let other editors remove the COI notice in due course. And I also agree with you that it is unlikely that anyone without specialist knowledge of some very technical areas is ever going to write about them with any competence. In my own capacity as an experienced editor, but a non-geologist, I have currently ' adopted' a retired professor of marine geophysics and we have worked together, with me helping them understand how we edit here so as to encourage them to mobilise the maximum knowledge with the minimum of pain. I've guided them in how to declare on their userpage ( see here) their own specialist connection with people they know or the areas of their work they have contributed to; I'd be happy to show you how to do that too, if you would like me to. It really is nothing to feel insulted by, and declaring that one knows someone who one is writing about is perfectly OK, and quite normal. It takes just a few moments of adding a little template code to one's userpage to ensure full openness.
Thank you so much Nick Moyes, your advice is much appreciated ! Best George G Milford ( talk) 14:12, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi Guy as stated above: in a small field like ophthalmology, most of those who are active - like attending meetings and conventions while this was still possible - know most of those who contribute, invent, research. And you talk to them during the break etc. That's the "knowing personally". Best George G Milford ( talk) 14:20, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

"As you are the person who created the articles, not appropriate for you to remove the COI tags"
I thought we'd put this canard to rest a long time ago.
A cursory examination shows that at last one of the articles has nothing on its talk page to comply with the long-standing, present-by-consensus, requirement in the template's documentation (highlighting in original; and present there for obvious reasons) "if you place this tag, you should promptly start a discussion on the article's talk page to explain what is non-neutral about the article"; that warning is immediately followed by the equally-long standing notice: "If you do not start this discussion, then any editor is justified in removing the tag without warning".
Note that the requirement is to explain what is non-neutral about the article, not simply to assert a COI; and that anyone may remove the tag if that is not done.
I also note that, from past discussions, Doc James is well aware of this requirement; it ill behoves a member of the WMF board to repeatedly ignore it. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:37, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I was wondering about some citations I have made on an article I made. My draft was declined initially due to bad referencing/citing. I was helpfully informed by the editor who declined the article that I should avoid references to self-published sources (by the band in question I am writing about) and YouTube videos. I have a couple of references to YouTube still cited and a few self-published sources but mostly from Discogs and AllMusic. The self-published sources are purely the band giving information about their own members, is it ok for me to keep these citations? Thanks.

Hello dear community,
I am used of publishing articles in the French Wikipedia but I am new in the English one. I would like to publish the translation in English of an article written in French, and I have two questions:
- firstly, I am not familiar with the translation tool. I have begun to translate my article with it but I had then to do it with a classical draft, an submit it to review. Is it the easiest/right way ?
- secondly, I would like to illustrate my article with the logo of the association, as it is done in the French version. But I am lost in the legislation of the English Wikipedia at this point: can I do so ?

Hello, I received a notice from another Wikipedia user that a page I created "has been reviewed." As best I can tell, the user made no substantive changes to the page, nor can I find any indication on the page that it "has been reviewed." What does "been reviewed" mean in this case? Is this a regular thing that Wikipedians do for each other's pages, or does it just mean they read it? FWIW, the page is: East Side Freedom Library Thanks!

I really hate having to keep doing this (I have incredible social anxiety), but I am an English Teacher in Hanoi.
During the height of COVID-19 measures here, I was without work and had little to do, so my neighbor suggested I write an article about his company (I am a blogger in my spare time), in order to keep myself busy. And for your reference, no, I am not being paid. It was a half-hearted suggestion that I thought was interesting.
So, I spent many hours looking at every resource I could to write my article. I used articles on this site about similar companies in other countries (Example: /info/en/?search=Sibers) as a reference, in order to keep myself objective and neutral.
So, my article is up for a while and then it gets taken down as a draft for being "Promotional" and "Not detailed enough". I'm very frustrated at this very vague reason, get very upset at my hard work having been upset, and after the user who took it down refused to answer me, I go to User talk:Oshwah and User talk:Yngvadottir to try and find answers for what I can do. I try to be as transparent as possible (I dislike it as it makes me anxious, but I do so anyway because I hate having hard work wasted), and make the article even more detailed. Satisfied with my work, submit it for review, I go off to take a short break and I come back to see it has been rejected almost as soon as I had left my computer with the reason being "Promotional".
So, my question is: What else can I do? Again, I have made every effort to be transparent, have used multiple articles on this site as reference, and have tried as hard possible to use as neutral language as I can.
I had very much wanted to join this community, but with standards that are (to me) very inconsistent and who have people unwilling to answer me, I find it very difficult to justify having to do hours of citation gathering, hours of writing, and hours of proof-reading to make an article. I found this site lacking very much in Vietnamese business (in contrast with other countries), so I wanted to do something, but I find myself frustrated and confused.
What can I do? How can I put my article up? Can someone please explain to me these standards in a way that is simple because I really just want to contribute and not have any of my work put to waste?
I apologize for being rude, but I'm really trying and it feels like only a few people are willing to help me.
Thank you. KyleVietnam ( talk) 10:48, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
I would like the world to pay more attention to Vietnamese businessand
it would be nice to put more money into this country's economyare going to focus your contributions and editing towards glamourising Vietnam subjects you write about. You're going to go out of your way to make companies like Rikkeisoft sound appealing. This is great for ad copy, but not for an encyclopedia. You are going to have to separate yourself from your personal feelings about these subjects as much as you can and write just the facts. Stick with neutral verbs. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 03:02, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
User:Sulfurboy, I see that you declined that draft for being promotional. Promotionalism means writing things like "This is the best company", not factually reporting that a company won some awards. In other words, promotionalism is a problem that can be fixed by changing the wording. Can you tell us one sentence that you think needs to be re-worded, and give an example of how you would re-word it?
Also, do you have any serious doubt about whether the article would survive a trip to AFD? The WP:AFCPURPOSE has nothing to do with promotionalism. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 20:08, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi! I'm a long-time user (lurker), new contributor to Wikipedia. I'm made a suggestion for a new wiki page at the village pump - "List of police killings of unarmed Black U.S. citizens" - that was moved to Wiki projects by a longtime user.
It's been 48 hours and I haven't seen anyone jump on it so I'm soliciting help here.
There were over a 100 cases in 2015 alone, and will entail creating pages like 'Killing of Elijah McClain' (this incident has no record on wiki) so this is not a small undertaking. I'd rather not do it alone. Anyone interested?
If you need persuading here are some reasons this is useful and important:

(Even when it's good: a comment.)
Wikipedia "is, instead, an encyclopedia, like Encyclopædia Britannica or Encarta [...]."
I think I've read this or a similar claim several times in well-meant answers on this and similar WP pages. But I doubt that many of the people such comments are addressed to are familiar with either. Encarta was short-lived and is long dead. Britannica will perhaps be found in those libraries in English-speaking areas that haven't yet been closed and are still actually funded.
So the comparison would not be likely to be helpful even if it were accurate. And I don't think it is accurate. Today's FA is Wolf, an article on which appears/appeared both the other encyclopedias, I'm sure. But what percentage of the other FAs this month would have (had) articles there?
Are there better comparisons to offer to the would-be authors of promotional articles, genealogies, Deep Thought, crystal ball emissions, etc? -- Hoary ( talk) 13:51, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
When patrolling the dead end category, I came across the article on Bullwhip effect. The edit history shows that there was a fairly well-developed article there already, but in the last few days one editor has replaced most or all of the content that was there with what appears to be copypasted from elsewhere. I've inserted various maintenance tags into the article and asked the editor in question to explain themselves on the talk page, but I think the article should also be rescued somehow, possibly rolling it back to where it was before this editor got involved. However, I wasn't sure if that's the right approach, and if so how to do it (or whether I even can, myself), so thought I'd better come ask those in the know what should be done? -- DoubleGrazing ( talk) 10:31, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks again for your advice on how I can go about getting an article published. The editor who denied my request has not responded to my talk page, even after you pinged them. The other editor i brought into the conversation also confirmed again that he verified three independent sources. What would you recommend is the best next step to help the article get published?

I am happy to do whatever is needed but feel a little lost Caryplace7 ( talk) 19:22, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
Hey David. Thank you for speaking with me The editor who rejected my bio did so because they claimed I did not have enough independent sources which I did have.

This is my first biography so please forgive me if I am following the rules incorrectly. While I was in discussion with an editor about the topics I mentioned, I resubmitted which I now realize I should not have done. Is it appropriate to leave a note on the bio I am working on listing that I had gone other and had multiple independent sources verified and that we had any conflict of interest issues vetted already? And, if so, where should I leave that information?

Hello Wikipedia editors. My name is Mark Di Stefano, a journalist in the UK. I am looking for assistance relating to an attack page that was set-up after I recently left the Financial Times. You can see the page here: /info/en/?search=Mark_Di_Stefano. Editors have already flagged that this looked like an attack page and seemed not to raise to the standards of the website's notability guidelines. I'd like to flag, as the subject of the page, these concerns are correct. Little to no biographical information of mine is included in the entry. This is just designed to attack me personally. The second to last paragraph also includes a defamatory claim that I used illicit means to gain private information. This claim is based on a single tweet. It is also incorrect.
I am posting here because I'm not sure how these things are usually done. I wanted to be as transparent as possible and not attempt to edit a page of which I am the subject.

. This can sometimes be confusing because some editors have customized their signatures to appear a certain way even though their account names are different in someway; so, the thing to do would be to click on their signature and see check the name of their account. Some more things about pinging someone. You don't need to overdo it: if they respond asap or at all, then great; if they don't, be patient, give them a chance to do so and don't keep "tapping on the bell" to try and get their attention.
Some editors aren't online 24/7 and might not be around to notice you're pinging them, whereas some editors simply don't like to be pinged and just ignore them. Another thing to remember is that a ping will only work if you properly sign your post at the time of the ping. Pings won't work for unsigned posts even if you go back and try to add your missing signature later. So, you might want to click "Show preview" before clicking "Publish changes" just to verify that you've properly signed your posts. --

, which isn't abnormal.Thank you for reading. I created a draft at Draft:KyleMcMahon that I worked with two of the more established editors to fix up. I did the edits that both of them suggested regarding swapping out a few links, etc. I'm just not sure what the next step is now? Does it automatically do something? Am I supposed to do something?

Thank you both for your assistance. I've found a pretty in-depth piece from 05/2020 that is part researched article and part interview, but I don't want to mess up the work of the other editors so I'm not quite sure how to incorporate it. It's essentially going over parts of Mcmahon's life through quotes and research, but the facts are already in the Draft itself. So I'm a bit confused if I should include it or what to do. I left the link at the talk page of Draft:Kyle_McMahon for review and assistance.

Recently an IP address I had been using to edit (maybe 500-1000 total edits) went permanently extinct.
I've registered an account and started editing rather than use a new IP, but want to post in ongoing discussions that involved the old IP, without raising concerns of sockpuppeting.
The question is whether there is any step that needs to be taken to preclude SP issues other than identifying the older account when rejoining any discussions where the old IP was used. I have already posted that information on my user and talk pages. Sesquivalent ( talk) 19:46, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

I want to substantially edit an existing page (the article in question is Mujeres Libres if anyone's interested), to improve and add to it. My questions are:
- How should I announce (on the talk page or elsewhere) that I am currently rewriting the article?
- Are there any considerations I need to take into account when doing so, other than what is in the style guide?

it is clear that there is a lot of information without sources or references, please see WP:OSE. Wikipedia has, in the past, been less rigorous about sourcing and about patrolling of edits. As a result, there's a lot of unsourced and poor-quality content in articles out there, especially those that don't get a lot of attention (i.e., other than political and current events articles, unfortunately). That is not, in any way, a reason why new contributions should not adhere to our standards. —[ AlanM1 ( talk)]— 03:31, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

For example, would I split Brent Crude into

During my short experience of Wikipedia though, I hadn't seen emojis used in talk pages. (The only exception would be the actual Wikipedia article on emojis, so far.)
Are users simply not allowed to use emojis, and have to revert to images? If so, is there a collection of faces which I can easily access and use in a casual comment/reply? Similarly, would emoticons be accepted?

Why have my contributions to the "List of Aviation Firsts" been disregarded?
In the past week or so -- and I do NOT understand half of Wikipedia's coding marks; but I try to contribute legit content -- for example, I added within the last 10 days or so:
- First Indoor Flight - first humans to fly on jetpacks (and cited several major examples) - Today, I added: First sea-launched flights (both east to west and vice-versa)
I believe these are LEGITIMATE categories that aren't on there, yet because of specious reasons like "formatting" which I do NOT know 100%, they are removed. So, what you are saying is that you are disregarding CONTENT over form? Then how reliable does that make Wikipedia if you are putting format over content? Instead of helping contributors like me who less than versatile in doing the proper formatting, you can WORK with me so that these "contributions" do get added.
I sure hope your actions are more sincere than your seemingly specious maneuvers.

Hi there, My name is Kyle. I'm new here. My interest is to create stub articles for the Musician/Artist, Les Dudek, for the five of his seven albums that have no content whatsoever - empty pages or no pages. His first and third albums - Les Dudek (1976) and Ghost Town Parade (1978) do have stub articles. My question is - are there special Templates of these music-related information pages in place that cover Track Listing of songs and running times, album image and record info at right-column, as well as Influence and Personnel and Production further down to make the process logically easier, instead of taking forever from scratch just to essentially, content-wise, provide something relatively simple but effective ?
If there is, it would be nice to find this template so I could get going on it. I have all the content ready to go for all five albums - Say No More (1977), Gypsy Ride (1981), Deeper Shades of Blues (1994), Freestyle! (2003), and Delta Breeze (2013).

As some background: This is a new up-and-coming show from an established producer. So far they have only had the chance to do one interview regarding their new show, however this was on one of the biggest national radio stations in the UK (BBC Radio 4) so I would assume this is more than credible enough, given it is the BBC. What else can I do to prove the credibility of this show? I have added additional links to the Facebook page and Youtube channel of this show.

I'm a brand-new Wikipedian. I've started contributing by fixing grammatical mistakes (as I see them) on different pages. Upon going through various random articles, I stumbled upon the 1944 College Football All-America Team. I noticed that the article is written in the present tense, which I understand is the go-to tense for most writing in general, and on Wikipedia in particular. However, it looks like the Wikipedia Manual of Style says that the past tense should be used when referencing "subjects that are dead or no longer meaningfully exist", with the example of The Beatles given. All of the other year-specific College Football All-America Team articles use the present tense, except for the first two, 1889 and 1890, as well as 1907, if not more. Which tense is more appropriate: past or present? And would there be a split point for where to use which?
Another, somewhat unrelated question, but pertaining to the same series of articles: The lead sections to the various College Football All-American Team articles vary in content. The first one (1889) is unique—understandably so—, but there isn't much consistency among the others in regards to formatting of information. 1890 is different, 1891-2008 are somewhat similar but in no ways all identical; 2009 goes uniquely in depth; 2010 and 2011 are different that the preceding ones; and 2012-2019 are again different. Does any of this really matter, and, if so, what would be the best way of correcting it?
Hopefully, at least some of that made sense. Triethylborane ( talk) 19:52, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi DESiegel and thanks the welcome.
The first nomination for speedy deletion is from exact
Praxidicae. It was deleted at about 1 o´clock pm today Berlin time.
There are 2 articles, No dig gardening and No till farming. They ONLY CAN be similar.
My one is not a small one and not finished. (This is work and needs time and focus.)
Thanks the info, it is not deleted, despite I do not have access to it anymore, and thanks the link.
To discredit my article this way is already only ONE what is absolutely not OK for me. It is done with untrue reasons "hoax" and "vandalism". And very insulting just.
Until now it appears, it was not a problem to have those two No-dig gardening and No till farming, and there are more similar articles, but in other words as sustainable and so on.
Not accepting my article with those false reasons I cannot accept at all.
Sorry, I can really only hard imagine, that wikipedia has such problems.
Praxidicae did deny a talk with his just nominate to speedy deletion.
From this at this time I only can deny myself this contact and an interesst in his article at all, at now.
I am not happy with this title, prefer I would "Not Dig, Not Till, Garden, Farm, Less Watering, Methods", but just too long and ´including´ the other both articles.
"discuss restoring this as a separate article at Talk:No till garden, but it might be better to discuss what content from this could usefully be merged into No-dig gardening": The first, I do not get reaction. The second I only can deny at all. I could wish ... turn around ... NO. I have some many single things, which I am just bringing together my way, but this work still is not done. (The title is joyced from what is the search question. This others may do, too. But me, too, please. No ?)
With whom would I have to discuss this, please ?
Thanks the interesst and Your reaction. --

I'm new here. I was a journalist for a while and working for various media there was always the ambiguity whether a story written on a subject is to disseminate information concerning it or to shed limelight (necessary or otherwise) on it. I never received a concrete ideological solution to that ambiguity. I am here on Wikipedia because I love this Universe of information. Yet, sometimes when I find oddly written articles, which have circumstantially escaped the eyes of senior editors, I feel a personal embarrassment of sort. Therefore, I wish to know how to construct an informational article about something or someone and mention all their feats without making it sound like a eulogy?

Hello All. I am a new Wiki user, and I decided that I think a good use of my time on here (and a good personal learning opportunity) would be to tackle cleaning up older, neglected geology pages that probably need some expansions or updates. I'm not sure how best to search for these so I can make a queue of pages to work through. Right now I go through:
Community Portal > Expand short articles > I click on more... > and I filter by Earth and Environment
At this point I would probably like to see some of the oldest pages pop up first to see what's there and could use some attention, but I only seem to be able to sort by the newest created pages. I suppose I am most interested in expanding stub articles, but I could probably help update older, longer articles as well.

Is it acceptable to make a large amount of pointless edits (such as repeatedly adding and deleting a new line) solely for the purpose of making my edit count larger? I would assume no, since the edit count seems to serve the purpose of measuring one's meaningful contributions to Wikipedia. Angry Red Hammer Guy ( talk) 03:11, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
In the lead section of
Ent, there is a link formatted as [[fantasy (genre)|fantasy]]
.
Fantasy (genre) is a redirect to
Fantasy, and I'm wondering if the link should be changed to simply [[fantasy]]
.
WP:NOPIPE says to "keep links as simple as possible", but
WP:NOTBROKEN says that "there is usually nothing wrong with linking to redirects to articles." Both guidelines seem to focus on the converse case (e.g. [[fantasy|fantasy genre]]
versus [[fantasy genre]]
); neither of them specifically addresses this.
Should I change it to have NOPIPE, or leave it because it's NOTBROKEN? — Ardub23 ( talk) 07:12, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I just looked up Bari wiess on bing and in the search results under the overview section for her wikipedia page it says that she is a scumbag. I don't know if she is a scumbag or not but this entry did not seem to fit the format of wikipedia so I edited her bio to say that she is not a scumbag. Someone removed my comment and said to inquire here if I have any questions.

So in the page with the longest table of contents ( Winning streak) at the top it says "For other uses, see Winning Streak" (with a capital S)
I saw that " Winning Streak (disambiguation)" redirected to "Winning Streak"
When I moved "Winning Streak" to "Winning Streak (disambiguation)" I thought "ohno! the history of Winning Streak (disambiguation) got deleted!"
So I revert the move.
But then I thought "well it's just a redirect, so it's okay to move" (is it?)
So I revert the revert
Then somehow, checking "What links here", " Winning streak (disambiguation)" (lowercase S) redirects to "Winning Streak (disambiguation)"
Now i'm confused, and this probably needs fixing. (I was pretty sure of the first move, but somehow the end happenned.)
Checking the /info/en/?search=Special:Log/move, it says I did 6 redirects, (though 3 of them seem to be indirect talk page redirects)
Actually, looking at it for awhile, the overall effect seems to be that
My main questions are "what did i do wrong" and "what was i supposed to do". (sidenote: these questions are both in a non-complain way [my mind keeps saying it like the movies or tv or something])

Alright ColinFine,
I will replace IMDb references. Can I quote Kyle Hill's own website when it comes to his education?
I disagree when it comes to WIRED. I quoted WIRED twice: The first quote is a page referencing Kyle Hill's contributions to WIRED, which I solely quoted to prove that he contributed to WIRED. The second quote is an article from the actual WIRED Magazine which was published on paper in September of 2013, and this one was not written by him, but by an in-house journalist, and well after Kyle Hill left the company. Are magazine articles published on paper by a third party not reliable enough?

2) In the article I am writing I use references to 10 already published scientific articles, in order to aggregate information from these articles, and I simply quote these information without any additional comment or conclusion. Any comments or conclusions contained in the article will be exactly what are mentioned in the already published articles and will be written in italics.
Does everything I tell you here meet the requirements for writing an article?

Hello,
I've recently begun to suggest possible changes on the talk page of a wikipedia article about myself. I'm aware that there are guidelines about editing pages,I have declared the conflict of interest on my user page. My aim is to work with and seek advice from impartial editors to make positive contributions to this article, hopefully leading to its improvement.
An academic book has been written about my work. I contributed a chapter to this book and am credited as an editor. I would like to add something about it on the article about me. I think the book would help many people researching interfaith dialogue and art history because there aren't many other books like this on the market.
I'm still very new to wikipeida. I hoped that someone could please advise me as to whether this would be a reasonable suggestion to make on the talk page, and if the following references would be suitable? It's the page on the publishers website, and two reviews in journals. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

Hello, one of my pages titled Manoj Pillai (a page about a living filmmaker) was deleted yesterday citing A7: No credible indication of importance; G4: Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Manoj Pillai).
However, after the initial deletion, i had recreated the page with multiple news articles and other references to support the biography and achievements of the concerned persion mentioned in the article. But i was told the page reads "PROMOTIONAL" in nature. As of now, it stands deleted.
Kindly guide me on how i can rewrite / recreate this article so it can stay on wikipedia. Any help will be appreciated.

Change introductory text The introductory text for the page on List of biochemists reads "Articles about notable biochemists include:". This is too vague, and explains to some extent why the page was in such a dreadful condition when I first looked at it: no mention of many of the major biochemists of the past half-century and earlier, such as Daniel Koshland and Otto Warburg, of whom I counted at last 60, but plenty of people with no serious claim to be called biochemists, such as the father of an actress and at least two purveyors of quack medicine. I'd like to change the introductory text to be similar to what is at the top of the List of chemists: "This is a list of chemists. It should include those who have been important to the development or practice of chemistry. Their research or application has made significant contributions in the area of basic or applied chemistry." However, there doesn't seem to be a button to edit the introductory text (probably there is, but I haven't found it). Athel cb ( talk) 17:48, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I can't find anything specific detailing the use of album cover images on wiki (if it is somewhere that you can direct me to, thanks!). Wiki rules say not to use copyrighted images without permission. There are many thousands of copyrighted album cover images on Wiki - was permission explicitly obtained for each one separately? Or is their usage as a whole, as a class of images, allowed? When creating a page for a new album, are we allowed to simply upload an image of its cover? And does the sourcing of the image matter? Because these images are found in many places... Amazon, Genius, AllMusic, Target, the artists' sites, etc. Thank you! Pleasant27cat ( talk) 22:53, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Cover art from various items, for visual identification only in the context of critical commentary of that item (not for identification without critical commentary). had interpretyed that to mean commentary about the art, and I think that is the most natural way to read the sentence. However, I now see a footnote which says in part
NFCI#1 relates to the use of cover art within articles whose main subject is the work associated with the cover. Within such articles, the cover art implicitly satisfies the "contextual significance" NFCC criterion (NFCC#8) by virtue of the marketing, branding, and identification information that the cover conveys.which seems more reasonable to me. So I may have been in violent agreement with te3h gui8deline all along. It is still the case the US copyright law and US case law do not require "critical commentary" (about the image or the overall work) as a condition of fair use, although it may go toward the "nature of use" prong of the 4 fair-use factors. This is a Wikipedia policy, and stretching it does not put the foundation or the site at legal risk. DES (talk) DESiegel Contribs 19:01, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you @ Nick Moyes: and @ DESiegel: for these comprehensive explanations. I do understand that most CSD and PROD tagging are done by new pages patrollers because they have access to new pages feed. But I was surprised when my request to be granted New Pages Reviewer right was declined because I had not tagged any articles with CSD or PROD and was told to get involved in AFD or AFC discussions before I could be granted the new pages reviewer right. I understand that this is not part of the requirements for new pages reviewer right but I can't understand why this was used as a criteria for declining my request. I have a good knowledge of WP:GNG and I can help in new pages review to reduce the backlog of articles waiting for review. @ Nick Moyes: and @ DESiegel: kindly check my request at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/New page reviewer to review our discussion. I will appreciate if you can help grant me the right at least for a few weeks of trial. Once again thank you. Ugbedeg ( ugbedeg|talk
"At its core, new page reviewing is about deciding whether a new article will be marked as approved and accepting it onto Wikipedia, or initiating one of several deletion procedures. Uncontroversial deletions can be proposed using PROD, while most other deletion proposals are resolved in a discussion at Articles for deletion. In a very narrow set of cases, an expedited WP:CSD or WP:BLPPROD can be placed to delete material which is unambiguously not an improvement to Wikipedia.

And that Wikipedia cannot accept facts (even if they are accurate) based on what you personally know, because no other reader can verify them, and we have no way to know that you really do live in Lungern and are an authority on it. I presume that you are, but I can't confirm that. That is why you and others like you must cite published sources even for things that you know personally.

22:10, 13 June 2020 (UTC)I wanted to create an article on a game (Airport CEO; www.airportceo.com) as I could only find mentions (on English Wikipedia) of it as parts of lists, with links that go to nonexistent pages. I have verified that there is no page on the subject, however am unsure as to whether it is 'Notable' in accordance with WP:N, as there are few 'notable' sources. I could only find webpages such as Gamepedia (airportceo.gamepedia.com), Steam (store.steampowered.com/app/Airport_CEO) and various review websites which had non-primary source information on the subject. The largest source by far is the official website and their DevBlogs, but I am not sure if these are sufficient as citations. As for the actual creation of the article, I have read through the Article Creation guidelines thouroughly and had practice with editing and using the Wikipedia Editor, and think that I would be able to handle the creation of the article.

Dear Teahouse, I am asking for a solution for the weather data at Cizre and Göle. Since 2017 an editor is mentioning that the climate data in Cizre and Göle is not correct. Usually he removes the climate data without leaving an edit summary, but since some weeks he communicates with other editors, mainly me. I would like to find a solution, either we just leave the weather as he wants it, but his edit summaries are nonsense. He writes he is against climate data, but if we bring another one he is also against this one. I have noticed that climate data is quite wrong if it refers to to the climate table, but it is correct if it refers to the daily climate data.

My contribution was more than constructive.
Wiki’s entry For typographic points is written: “In digital type, letters of a font are designed around an imaginary space called an em square. When a point size of a font is specified, the font is scaled so that its em square has a side length of that particular length in points.”
If the font is to be scaled to the specified point size of a font, it can’t be “imaginary”.
So, I edited the first sentence to;
In digital type, letters of a font are designed in a space representing the vertical distance any typesetter will move with no additional line spacing, also known as leading. The square of that vertical distance is called an em square.
So then; When a point size of a font is specified, the font is scaled so that its em square has a side length of that particular length in points.
Makes more sense.

, etc. If you're going to cite a non-English source, it's going to be assumed that you've got sufficient language ability yourself to understand what the source is saying; however, the AfC reviewer reviewing the draft might not have the same ability. So, you might be able to help clarify the source if you can provide a rough translation/summary of it on the draft's talk page or possibly a link to an online translation of it (perhaps using something like
Google Translate). Machine-based translations are not really considered good enough for content added to an article, but a machine translation of the the source might make it easier for reviewers to assess the source. You might be able to add a link to an online English translation of the source (if you can find one) to the actual citation syntax using the |trans-work=
parameter. --

12:20, 14 June 2020 (UTC)I have read here@ Robert McClenon:: "In this specific case, my opinion is that we should stub the draft on Back Market and accept it, stripped of the promotional material." . Can you explain it, please?. Ready to edit what is needed. On the other hand, I swear I recieve no money and nothing for editing Wikipedia, from Back Market and from no one related to both, directly or indirectly. I am independent, fortunately.

What happened twelve days ago is that a paid editor provided two drafts of Draft:Back Market. Then my inference as to what happened is that User:BoldLuis decided to help the paid editor with a gimmick of providing a template asking the reviewer to propose better wording on Back Market. I don't know whether User:BoldLuis is also being paid by Back Market or just sympathizes with paid editors and wants to help them. I Rejected the draft, because I was disgusted at another gimmick intended to get volunteer editors to write an article that both satisfies the corporate client by being positive and satisfies neutral point of view. (I don't know if that exists, or if it is a contradiction.)
So I will now ask User:BoldLuis whether they have a conflict of interest with Back Market. If not, why are they trying so hard in such a clueless and annoying way to help Back Market?
I will say that I think that paid editors often think that they are being treated unfairly because they are not supposed to edit directly and they do not get help in writing an article that is both neutral and promotional. I don't know if an article can be neutral and promotional, meaning that I haven't seen one yet that really is both, and I think it is sort of like a unicorn.

I say and repeat I am not paid by anyone. Can honest people as me edit Wikipedia?. The phrase: " I don't know whether User:BoldLuis is also being paid by Back Market or just sympathizes with paid editors and wants to help them." is biased. Paid? . What ?. Sympathizes?. False affirmations. I have put in several places and sworn I am not paid or helping to none. This is not important. I usually help people in my city without being paid. Why do you say it?.

Our encyclopedia articles summarize what reliable, secondary sources (e.g., newspapers, books, peer-reviewed journals) have written about a subject that Wikipedia considers to be notable, according to WP:N. The article must have inline citations to those sources for any non-trivial statements. What was on your user page was apparently considered by a nominating user and an administrator to be unambiguous advertising, promotion, or your own research, which is not allowed. —[ AlanM1 ( talk)]— 21:59, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi all. I have some experience with Wikipedia, have been contributing little fixes here and there, and spent this weekend writing my first proper article here: fast.ai. After just a few hours it's already up for deletion and I'm a little discouraged. The reason for deletion would be the "promotional" tone which is unintentional, as I have no affiliation with this research institute at all. I just know and respect it for the MOOC they provide online, and thought a page would be appropriate as both founders also have a wikipedia page ( Jeremy Howard and Rachel Thomas). I'm not sure how to proceed. I've been trying to edit the article and removed some stuff, but now it feels like maybe it's gotten too short? I guess I don't really understand the inclusion criteria. Could you please guide me on how to improve the tone, or help editing it so it's more neutral? (because honestly I don't really see the problem). Any advice on how to avoid this in the future? I'm not sure I'd want to spend another weekend on a new article, researching references etc, just to get it deleted :( Any help would be much appreciated! Paritalo ( talk) 18:57, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
Concerning the Appropriateness of the section "2020 attack on protesters" in the Layafette Park article
The following was posted to the Layafette Park talk page on 05:26, 5 June 2020 (UTC). It presents my concern and a suggestion to resolve my concern.
I think this issue needs attention but in the Wikimonolith I am not sure where to address it. So I seek out the Teahouse council.
No one seems to read or write on the Layafette Park talk page. Today, June 5, so far there have been five edits made on this section. As I pointed out above, this section will be continuously revised and revised per the whim of anonymous editors. Layette Park, as a Wikipedia article, does not need to be a literal field of attack and parry.
Restating my resolution briefly: If a "See Also" section reference is good enough for Pearl Harbor, a "See Also" section reference will certainly be good enough for Layafette Park.
Please help me on how to proceed. Osomite ( talk) 21:38, 5 June 2020 (UTC)

Good morning; I have now and then contributed from my field of expertise, ophthalmology; and have created 5 pages: three about (living) major innovators in ophthalmology, one about a new surgical technique introduced by one of these three and another page on a syndrome described by another of these physicians; a term that has become widely acceepted in medical terminology over the last years.
The pages are: Josef Flammer, Daniel Mojon, Burkhard Dick, Flammer syndrome, Minimally invasive strabismus surgery
These 5 contributions have been marked with a COI notice by a major "Wikipedian" who goes as Doc James. I have tried to make clear that I do not have any connection to these individuals other than knowing them (ever eye doctor in Europe and many in the rest of the world do), have not worked for them, do not work for them etc. To no avail. The stigma - yes, that's what it is - remains on these pages and, frankly, it is a blot on the reputation of these scientists ! My declaration of having no conflict of interest on talk pages elicited no reaction, Doc James did not anser my emails. This is very frustrating and tempers the motivation to do something on Wikipedia EN. I would apprecitate your advice. Is there some place on W where I can file something like a complaint ? Best 15:04, 5 June 2020 (UTC) George G Milford ( talk)
"That someone has a conflict of interest is a description of a situation, not a judgement about that person's opinions, integrity, or good faith."But I do tend to agree with you that, at first sight, none of the articles you created or edited seem biased towards promoting someone or something, though, as suggested above, it is best if you let other editors remove the COI notice in due course. And I also agree with you that it is unlikely that anyone without specialist knowledge of some very technical areas is ever going to write about them with any competence. In my own capacity as an experienced editor, but a non-geologist, I have currently ' adopted' a retired professor of marine geophysics and we have worked together, with me helping them understand how we edit here so as to encourage them to mobilise the maximum knowledge with the minimum of pain. I've guided them in how to declare on their userpage ( see here) their own specialist connection with people they know or the areas of their work they have contributed to; I'd be happy to show you how to do that too, if you would like me to. It really is nothing to feel insulted by, and declaring that one knows someone who one is writing about is perfectly OK, and quite normal. It takes just a few moments of adding a little template code to one's userpage to ensure full openness.
Thank you so much Nick Moyes, your advice is much appreciated ! Best George G Milford ( talk) 14:12, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi Guy as stated above: in a small field like ophthalmology, most of those who are active - like attending meetings and conventions while this was still possible - know most of those who contribute, invent, research. And you talk to them during the break etc. That's the "knowing personally". Best George G Milford ( talk) 14:20, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

"As you are the person who created the articles, not appropriate for you to remove the COI tags"
I thought we'd put this canard to rest a long time ago.
A cursory examination shows that at last one of the articles has nothing on its talk page to comply with the long-standing, present-by-consensus, requirement in the template's documentation (highlighting in original; and present there for obvious reasons) "if you place this tag, you should promptly start a discussion on the article's talk page to explain what is non-neutral about the article"; that warning is immediately followed by the equally-long standing notice: "If you do not start this discussion, then any editor is justified in removing the tag without warning".
Note that the requirement is to explain what is non-neutral about the article, not simply to assert a COI; and that anyone may remove the tag if that is not done.
I also note that, from past discussions, Doc James is well aware of this requirement; it ill behoves a member of the WMF board to repeatedly ignore it. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:37, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I was wondering about some citations I have made on an article I made. My draft was declined initially due to bad referencing/citing. I was helpfully informed by the editor who declined the article that I should avoid references to self-published sources (by the band in question I am writing about) and YouTube videos. I have a couple of references to YouTube still cited and a few self-published sources but mostly from Discogs and AllMusic. The self-published sources are purely the band giving information about their own members, is it ok for me to keep these citations? Thanks.

Hello dear community,
I am used of publishing articles in the French Wikipedia but I am new in the English one. I would like to publish the translation in English of an article written in French, and I have two questions:
- firstly, I am not familiar with the translation tool. I have begun to translate my article with it but I had then to do it with a classical draft, an submit it to review. Is it the easiest/right way ?
- secondly, I would like to illustrate my article with the logo of the association, as it is done in the French version. But I am lost in the legislation of the English Wikipedia at this point: can I do so ?

I really hate having to keep doing this (I have incredible social anxiety), but I am an English Teacher in Hanoi.
During the height of COVID-19 measures here, I was without work and had little to do, so my neighbor suggested I write an article about his company (I am a blogger in my spare time), in order to keep myself busy. And for your reference, no, I am not being paid. It was a half-hearted suggestion that I thought was interesting.
So, I spent many hours looking at every resource I could to write my article. I used articles on this site about similar companies in other countries (Example: /info/en/?search=Sibers) as a reference, in order to keep myself objective and neutral.
So, my article is up for a while and then it gets taken down as a draft for being "Promotional" and "Not detailed enough". I'm very frustrated at this very vague reason, get very upset at my hard work having been upset, and after the user who took it down refused to answer me, I go to User talk:Oshwah and User talk:Yngvadottir to try and find answers for what I can do. I try to be as transparent as possible (I dislike it as it makes me anxious, but I do so anyway because I hate having hard work wasted), and make the article even more detailed. Satisfied with my work, submit it for review, I go off to take a short break and I come back to see it has been rejected almost as soon as I had left my computer with the reason being "Promotional".
So, my question is: What else can I do? Again, I have made every effort to be transparent, have used multiple articles on this site as reference, and have tried as hard possible to use as neutral language as I can.
I had very much wanted to join this community, but with standards that are (to me) very inconsistent and who have people unwilling to answer me, I find it very difficult to justify having to do hours of citation gathering, hours of writing, and hours of proof-reading to make an article. I found this site lacking very much in Vietnamese business (in contrast with other countries), so I wanted to do something, but I find myself frustrated and confused.
What can I do? How can I put my article up? Can someone please explain to me these standards in a way that is simple because I really just want to contribute and not have any of my work put to waste?
I apologize for being rude, but I'm really trying and it feels like only a few people are willing to help me.
Thank you. KyleVietnam ( talk) 10:48, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
I would like the world to pay more attention to Vietnamese businessand
it would be nice to put more money into this country's economyare going to focus your contributions and editing towards glamourising Vietnam subjects you write about. You're going to go out of your way to make companies like Rikkeisoft sound appealing. This is great for ad copy, but not for an encyclopedia. You are going to have to separate yourself from your personal feelings about these subjects as much as you can and write just the facts. Stick with neutral verbs. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 03:02, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
User:Sulfurboy, I see that you declined that draft for being promotional. Promotionalism means writing things like "This is the best company", not factually reporting that a company won some awards. In other words, promotionalism is a problem that can be fixed by changing the wording. Can you tell us one sentence that you think needs to be re-worded, and give an example of how you would re-word it?
Also, do you have any serious doubt about whether the article would survive a trip to AFD? The WP:AFCPURPOSE has nothing to do with promotionalism. WhatamIdoing ( talk) 20:08, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

It's been 48 hours and I haven't seen anyone jump on it so I'm soliciting help here.
There were over a 100 cases in 2015 alone, and will entail creating pages like 'Killing of Elijah McClain' (this incident has no record on wiki) so this is not a small undertaking. I'd rather not do it alone. Anyone interested?
If you need persuading here are some reasons this is useful and important:

Thanks Rudolf. The rationale (doctrine and policy) for NFCC is clear, my problem is not the comprehension of the rationale, but the physical loading of the image itself. Under the NFCC doctrine, I have an image which meets all the criteria of the wiki NFCC exceptions and now I wish to load it onto a wiki site but do not understand the cascade of steps needed to place the image next to the text in the article and need help to be guided through the image upload process.

(Even when it's good: a comment.)
Wikipedia "is, instead, an encyclopedia, like Encyclopædia Britannica or Encarta [...]."
I think I've read this or a similar claim several times in well-meant answers on this and similar WP pages. But I doubt that many of the people such comments are addressed to are familiar with either. Encarta was short-lived and is long dead. Britannica will perhaps be found in those libraries in English-speaking areas that haven't yet been closed and are still actually funded.
So the comparison would not be likely to be helpful even if it were accurate. And I don't think it is accurate. Today's FA is Wolf, an article on which appears/appeared both the other encyclopedias, I'm sure. But what percentage of the other FAs this month would have (had) articles there?
Are there better comparisons to offer to the would-be authors of promotional articles, genealogies, Deep Thought, crystal ball emissions, etc? -- Hoary ( talk) 13:51, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
When patrolling the dead end category, I came across the article on Bullwhip effect. The edit history shows that there was a fairly well-developed article there already, but in the last few days one editor has replaced most or all of the content that was there with what appears to be copypasted from elsewhere. I've inserted various maintenance tags into the article and asked the editor in question to explain themselves on the talk page, but I think the article should also be rescued somehow, possibly rolling it back to where it was before this editor got involved. However, I wasn't sure if that's the right approach, and if so how to do it (or whether I even can, myself), so thought I'd better come ask those in the know what should be done? -- DoubleGrazing ( talk) 10:31, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
Thank you once again for all your help with my article on Journalist Mike Greenhaus ( /info/en/?search=Draft:Mike_Greenhaus) Last week an editor was kind enough enough to give me some feedback and, after some back and forth, they determined that I had enough sources to prove notability (three articles that met the criteria).

Thanks again for your advice on how I can go about getting an article published. The editor who denied my request has not responded to my talk page, even after you pinged them. The other editor i brought into the conversation also confirmed again that he verified three independent sources. What would you recommend is the best next step to help the article get published? I have confirmed a number of independent sources, links to other wiki articles and worked to massage the bio itself. I am happy to do whatever is needed but feel a little lost Caryplace7 ( talk) 19:22, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
Hey David. Thank you for speaking with me The editor who rejected my bio did so because they claimed I did not have enough independent sources which I did have. In fact, another editor had already verified that I had 4 independent sources and also verified that there was no conflict of interest. When I brought that up to the editor who denied my post they never reponsded and talk:Usedtobecool was kind enough to oping them to see if they could respond to my concerns. They have not responded in a week. I don't want to resubmit and then get rejected again so I was not sure what the best next step is Caryplace7 ( talk) 21:07, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
This is my first biography so please forgive me if I am following the rules incorrectly. While I was in discussion with an editor about the topics I mentioned, I resubmitted which I now realize I should not have done. Is it appropriate to leave a note on the bio I am working on listing that I had gone other and had multiple independent sources verified and that we had any conflict of interest issues vetted already? And, if so, where should I leave that information?

Hello Wikipedia editors. My name is Mark Di Stefano, a journalist in the UK. I am looking for assistance relating to an attack page that was set-up after I recently left the Financial Times. You can see the page here: /info/en/?search=Mark_Di_Stefano. Editors have already flagged that this looked like an attack page and seemed not to raise to the standards of the website's notability guidelines. I'd like to flag, as the subject of the page, these concerns are correct. Little to no biographical information of mine is included in the entry. This is just designed to attack me personally. The second to last paragraph also includes a defamatory claim that I used illicit means to gain private information. This claim is based on a single tweet. It is also incorrect.
I am posting here because I'm not sure how these things are usually done. I wanted to be as transparent as possible and not attempt to edit a page of which I am the subject.

{{ping|Timtempleton}}
. This can sometimes be confusing because some editors have customized their signatures to appear a certain way even though their account names are different in someway; so, the thing to do would be to click on their signature and see check the name of their account. Some more things about pinging someone. You don't need to overdo it: if they respond asap or at all, then great; if they don't, be patient, give them a chance to do so and don't keep "tapping on the bell" to try and get their attention.
Some editors aren't online 24/7 and might not be around to notice you're pinging them, whereas some editors simply don't like to be pinged and just ignore them. Another thing to remember is that a ping will only work if you properly sign your post at the time of the ping. Pings won't work for unsigned posts even if you go back and try to add your missing signature later. So, you might want to click "Show preview" before clicking "Publish changes" just to verify that you've properly signed your posts. --

Thank you both for your assistance. I've found a pretty in-depth piece from 05/2020 that is part researched article and part interview, but I don't want to mess up the work of the other editors so I'm not quite sure how to incorporate it. It's essentially going over parts of Mcmahon's life through quotes and research, but the facts are already in the Draft itself. So I'm a bit confused if I should include it or what to do.

Recently an IP address I had been using to edit (maybe 500-1000 total edits) went permanently extinct.
I've registered an account and started editing rather than use a new IP, but want to post in ongoing discussions that involved the old IP, without raising concerns of sockpuppeting.
The question is whether there is any step that needs to be taken to preclude SP issues other than identifying the older account when rejoining any discussions where the old IP was used. I have already posted that information on my user and talk pages. Sesquivalent ( talk) 19:46, 9 June 2020 (UTC)

- Are there any considerations I need to take into account when doing so, other than what is in the style guide?

it is clear that there is a lot of information without sources or references, please see WP:OSE. Wikipedia has, in the past, been less rigorous about sourcing and about patrolling of edits. As a result, there's a lot of unsourced and poor-quality content in articles out there, especially those that don't get a lot of attention (i.e., other than political and current events articles, unfortunately). That is not, in any way, a reason why new contributions should not adhere to our standards. —[ AlanM1 ( talk)]— 03:31, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Why have my contributions to the "List of Aviation Firsts" been disregarded?
In the past week or so -- and I do NOT understand half of Wikipedia's coding marks; but I try to contribute legit content -- for example, I added within the last 10 days or so:
- First Indoor Flight - first humans to fly on jetpacks (and cited several major examples) - Today, I added: First sea-launched flights (both east to west and vice-versa)
I believe these are LEGITIMATE categories that aren't on there, yet because of specious reasons like "formatting" which I do NOT know 100%, they are removed. So, what you are saying is that you are disregarding CONTENT over form? Then how reliable does that make Wikipedia if you are putting format over content? Instead of helping contributors like me who less than versatile in doing the proper formatting, you can WORK with me so that these "contributions" do get added.
I sure hope your actions are more sincere than your seemingly specious maneuvers.

Hi there, My name is Kyle. I'm new here. My interest is to create stub articles for the Musician/Artist, Les Dudek, for the five of his seven albums that have no content whatsoever - empty pages or no pages. His first and third albums - Les Dudek (1976) and Ghost Town Parade (1978) do have stub articles. My question is - are there special Templates of these music-related information pages in place that cover Track Listing of songs and running times, album image and record info at right-column, as well as Influence and Personnel and Production further down to make the process logically easier, instead of taking forever from scratch just to essentially, content-wise, provide something relatively simple but effective ?
If there is, it would be nice to find this template so I could get going on it. I have all the content ready to go for all five albums - Say No More (1977), Gypsy Ride (1981), Deeper Shades of Blues (1994), Freestyle! (2003), and Delta Breeze (2013).

As some background: This is a new up-and-coming show from an established producer. So far they have only had the chance to do one interview regarding their new show, however this was on one of the biggest national radio stations in the UK (BBC Radio 4) so I would assume this is more than credible enough, given it is the BBC. What else can I do to prove the credibility of this show? I have added additional links to the Facebook page and Youtube channel of this show.
The show has lots of famous guests - would evidence from them (such as articles on their websites, tweets from verified accounts) be enough to also verify this show is legitimate?

I am trying to add an article for an academic: User:Wnissen/Sharon Fries-Britt. I would like to use some of their selected publications as references, e.g. [6]. Instead I'm getting weird formatting where the publications show up out of order, at the bottom of the article, or if I explicitly include a <references group="publications" /> then it doesn't display the cite at all, just "Publications 1", "Publications 2", etc. I read the article about named reference groups. and don't understand what I'm doing wrong here.

I have been trying to improve the page about
Danfoss. I previously removed the maintenance templates, but that was reversed. Apparently, I'm not allowed to remove that myself, and I was suggested to let someone else review the changes. I have asked here once before:
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Teahouse/Questions/Archive_1060#Review_of_improvement,_Danfoss
I have made further changes, so now I'm asking again: Can the maintenance templates be removed? I know the article is not perfect, but I think it's much better now.

I'm a brand-new Wikipedian. I've started contributing by fixing grammatical mistakes (as I see them) on different pages. Upon going through various random articles, I stumbled upon the 1944 College Football All-America Team. I noticed that the article is written in the present tense, which I understand is the go-to tense for most writing in general, and on Wikipedia in particular. However, it looks like the Wikipedia Manual of Style says that the past tense should be used when referencing "subjects that are dead or no longer meaningfully exist", with the example of The Beatles given. All of the other year-specific College Football All-America Team articles use the present tense, except for the first two, 1889 and 1890, as well as 1907, if not more. Which tense is more appropriate: past or present? And would there be a split point for where to use which?
Another, somewhat unrelated question, but pertaining to the same series of articles: The lead sections to the various College Football All-American Team articles vary in content. The first one (1889) is unique—understandably so—, but there isn't much consistency among the others in regards to formatting of information. 1890 is different, 1891-2008 are somewhat similar but in no ways all identical; 2009 goes uniquely in depth; 2010 and 2011 are different that the preceding ones; and 2012-2019 are again different. Does any of this really matter, and, if so, what would be the best way of correcting it?
Hopefully, at least some of that made sense. Triethylborane ( talk) 19:52, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
The 1932 New York Yankees season was the team's 30th season in New York...(emphasis added) or 2018 Boston Red Sox season which starts
The 2018 Boston Red Sox season was the 118th season in the team's history,...(emphasis added).
The 1720 Rock Mountain Sheep-Chasers was a baseball team consisting entirely of child abusers.That would need swift attention. If you are willing to spend the time changing present to past verbs in such articles, go for it. I think it would improve Wikipedia somewhat. If not, no great harm is done. If you do it, please make a given article consistent before you go on to another, and please make it clear in the edit summaries, and perhaps also on the article talk page, what yo9u are doing and why, perhaps with a link to the MOS section linked above.

Hi, today the first nomination of speedy deletion was gone, some hours ago. But now it got deleted. Short before a second warning of nomination to speedy deletion. But NOW already deletd the article "No till garden", and without possibility to contest.
The article´s name "No till garden" is now redirected to "No-dig gardening".
Reason "hoax" and "vandalism".
Please, help. (So much work gone, done for nothing.) -- Visionhelp ( talk) 19:05, 10 June 2020 (UTC) Visionhelp ( talk) 19:03, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
Hi DESiegel and thanks the welcome.
The first nomination for speedy deletion is from exact
Praxidicae. It was deleted at about 1 o´clock pm today Berlin time.
There are 2 articles, No dig gardening and No till farming. They ONLY CAN be similar.
My one is not a small one and not finished. (This is work and needs time and focus.)
Thanks the info, it is not deleted, despite I do not have access to it anymore, and thanks the link.
To discredit my article this way is already only ONE what is absolutely not OK for me. It is done with untrue reasons "hoax" and "vandalism". And very insulting just.
Until now it appears, it was not a problem to have those two No-dig gardening and No till farming, and there are more similar articles, but in other words as sustainable and so on.
Not accepting my article with those false reasons I cannot accept at all.
Sorry, I can really only hard imagine, that wikipedia has such problems.
Praxidicae did deny a talk with his just nominate to speedy deletion.
From this at this time I only can deny myself this contact and an interesst in his article at all, at now.
I am not happy with this title, prefer I would "Not Dig, Not Till, Garden, Farm, Less Watering, Methods", but just too long and ´including´ the other both articles.
"discuss restoring this as a separate article at Talk:No till garden, but it might be better to discuss what content from this could usefully be merged into No-dig gardening": The first, I do not get reaction. The second I only can deny at all. I could wish ... turn around ... NO. I have some many single things, which I am just bringing together my way, but this work still is not done. (The title is joyced from what is the search question. This others may do, too. But me, too, please. No ?)
With whom would I have to discuss this, please ?
Thanks the interesst and Your reaction. --

I'm new here. I was a journalist for a while and working for various media there was always the ambiguity whether a story written on a subject is to disseminate information concerning it or to shed limelight (necessary or otherwise) on it. I never received a concrete ideological solution to that ambiguity. I am here on Wikipedia because I love this Universe of information. Yet, sometimes when I find oddly written articles, which have circumstantially escaped the eyes of senior editors, I feel a personal embarrassment of sort. Therefore, I wish to know how to construct an informational article about something or someone and mention all their feats without making it sound like a eulogy?

Hello All. I am a new Wiki user, and I decided that I think a good use of my time on here (and a good personal learning opportunity) would be to tackle cleaning up older, neglected geology pages that probably need some expansions or updates. I'm not sure how best to search for these so I can make a queue of pages to work through. Right now I go through:
Community Portal > Expand short articles > I click on more... > and I filter by Earth and Environment
At this point I would probably like to see some of the oldest pages pop up first to see what's there and could use some attention, but I only seem to be able to sort by the newest created pages. I suppose I am most interested in expanding stub articles, but I could probably help update older, longer articles as well.

Is it acceptable to make a large amount of pointless edits (such as repeatedly adding and deleting a new line) solely for the purpose of making my edit count larger?

In the lead section of
Ent, there is a link formatted as [[fantasy (genre)|fantasy]]
.
Fantasy (genre) is a redirect to
Fantasy, and I'm wondering if the link should be changed to simply [[fantasy]]
.
WP:NOPIPE says to "keep links as simple as possible", but
WP:NOTBROKEN says that "there is usually nothing wrong with linking to redirects to articles." Both guidelines seem to focus on the converse case (e.g. [[fantasy|fantasy genre]]
versus [[fantasy genre]]
); neither of them specifically addresses this.
Should I change it to have NOPIPE, or leave it because it's NOTBROKEN? — Ardub23 ( talk) 07:12, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

So in the page with the longest table of contents ( Winning streak) at the top it says "For other uses, see Winning Streak" (with a capital S)
I saw that " Winning Streak (disambiguation)" redirected to "Winning Streak"
When I moved "Winning Streak" to "Winning Streak (disambiguation)" I thought "ohno! the history of Winning Streak (disambiguation) got deleted!"
So I revert the move.
But then I thought "well it's just a redirect, so it's okay to move" (is it?)
So I revert the revert
Then somehow, checking "What links here", " Winning streak (disambiguation)" (lowercase S) redirects to "Winning Streak (disambiguation)"
Now i'm confused, and this probably needs fixing. (I was pretty sure of the first move, but somehow the end happenned.)
Checking the /info/en/?search=Special:Log/move, it says I did 6 redirects, (though 3 of them seem to be indirect talk page redirects)
Actually, looking at it for awhile, the overall effect seems to be that
My main questions are "what did i do wrong" and "what was i supposed to do". (sidenote: these questions are both in a non-complain way [my mind keeps saying it like the movies or tv or something])

Alright ColinFine,
I will replace IMDb references. Can I quote Kyle Hill's own website when it comes to his education?
I disagree when it comes to WIRED. I quoted WIRED twice: The first quote is a page referencing Kyle Hill's contributions to WIRED, which I solely quoted to prove that he contributed to WIRED. The second quote is an article from the actual WIRED Magazine which was published on paper in September of 2013, and this one was not written by him, but by an in-house journalist, and well after Kyle Hill left the company. Are magazine articles published on paper by a third party not reliable enough?

Hi All,
I hope you are well. I have created a new page Draft:Lhouette and I wanted to ask if there is anything else I need to add to the page? I have done any edits previously that was advised but I wanted to ask the community if everything entered has been done correctly in your eyes.

wanted to edit about Pardhi community
Hi Wikipedia,
I happened to search for social activist from Pardhi Community from Maharashtra named Sunita Bhosale who is very good friend of mine. recently one book in Marathi is published on her name. The books name is Vinchwache Tel. She is Director of the Kranti Sanstha in Maharashtra. This NGo specially works on Pardhi communitties establishment. Paradhi not in the sense of Phase Paradhi only but all the tribes coming under it. You have to update or let me be updating the important history of this community.
it is important for everyone that the person who is a well known figure in this community, is available on this platform for the world. below are some links which might give the idea about the person i am talking about.
Thanking you

2) In the article I am writing I use references to 10 already published scientific articles, in order to aggregate information from these articles, and I simply quote these information without any additional comment or conclusion. Any comments or conclusions contained in the article will be exactly what are mentioned in the already published articles and will be written in italics.
Does everything I tell you here meet the requirements for writing an article?

Hello,
I've recently begun to suggest possible changes on the talk page of a wikipedia article about myself. I'm aware that there are guidelines about editing pages,I have declared the conflict of interest on my user page. My aim is to work with and seek advice from impartial editors to make positive contributions to this article, hopefully leading to its improvement.
An academic book has been written about my work. I contributed a chapter to this book and am credited as an editor. I would like to add something about it on the article about me. I think the book would help many people researching interfaith dialogue and art history because there aren't many other books like this on the market.
I'm still very new to wikipeida. I hoped that someone could please advise me as to whether this would be a reasonable suggestion to make on the talk page, and if the following references would be suitable? It's the page on the publishers website, and two reviews in journals. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated!

Change introductory text The introductory text for the page on List of biochemists reads "Articles about notable biochemists include:". This is too vague, and explains to some extent why the page was in such a dreadful condition when I first looked at it: no mention of many of the major biochemists of the past half-century and earlier, such as Daniel Koshland and Otto Warburg, of whom I counted at last 60, but plenty of people with no serious claim to be called biochemists, such as the father of an actress and at least two purveyors of quack medicine. I'd like to change the introductory text to be similar to what is at the top of the List of chemists: "This is a list of chemists. It should include those who have been important to the development or practice of chemistry. Their research or application has made significant contributions in the area of basic or applied chemistry." However, there doesn't seem to be a button to edit the introductory text (probably there is, but I haven't found it). Athel cb ( talk) 17:48, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I can't find anything specific detailing the use of album cover images on wiki (if it is somewhere that you can direct me to, thanks!). Wiki rules say not to use copyrighted images without permission. There are many thousands of copyrighted album cover images on Wiki - was permission explicitly obtained for each one separately? Or is their usage as a whole, as a class of images, allowed? When creating a page for a new album, are we allowed to simply upload an image of its cover? And does the sourcing of the image matter? Because these images are found in many places... Amazon, Genius, AllMusic, Target, the artists' sites, etc. Thank you! Pleasant27cat ( talk) 22:53, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Cover art from various items, for visual identification only in the context of critical commentary of that item (not for identification without critical commentary). had interpretyed that to mean commentary about the art, and I think that is the most natural way to read the sentence. However, I now see a footnote which says in part
NFCI#1 relates to the use of cover art within articles whose main subject is the work associated with the cover. Within such articles, the cover art implicitly satisfies the "contextual significance" NFCC criterion (NFCC#8) by virtue of the marketing, branding, and identification information that the cover conveys.which seems more reasonable to me. So I may have been in violent agreement with te3h gui8deline all along. It is still the case the US copyright law and US case law do not require "critical commentary" (about the image or the overall work) as a condition of fair use, although it may go toward the "nature of use" prong of the 4 fair-use factors. This is a Wikipedia policy, and stretching it does not put the foundation or the site at legal risk. DES (talk) DESiegel Contribs 19:01, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you @ Nick Moyes: and @ DESiegel: for these comprehensive explanations. I do understand that most CSD and PROD tagging are done by new pages patrollers because they have access to new pages feed. But I was surprised when my request to be granted New Pages Reviewer right was declined because I had not tagged any articles with CSD or PROD and was told to get involved in AFD or AFC discussions before I could be granted the new pages reviewer right. I understand that this is not part of the requirements for new pages reviewer right but I can't understand why this was used as a criteria for declining my request. I have a good knowledge of WP:GNG and I can help in new pages review to reduce the backlog of articles waiting for review. @ Nick Moyes: and @ DESiegel: kindly check my request at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/New page reviewer to review our discussion.

"At its core, new page reviewing is about deciding whether a new article will be marked as approved and accepting it onto Wikipedia, or initiating one of several deletion procedures. Uncontroversial deletions can be proposed using PROD, while most other deletion proposals are resolved in a discussion at Articles for deletion. In a very narrow set of cases, an expedited WP:CSD or WP:BLPPROD can be placed to delete material which is unambiguously not an improvement to Wikipedia.

And that Wikipedia cannot accept facts (even if they are accurate) based on what you personally know, because no other reader can verify them, and we have no way to know that you really do live in Lungern and are an authority on it. I presume that you are, but I can't confirm that. That is why you and others like you must cite published sources even for things that you know personally.

I have verified that there is no page on the subject, however am unsure as to whether it is 'Notable' in accordance with WP:N, as there are few 'notable' sources. I could only find webpages such as Gamepedia (airportceo.gamepedia.com), Steam (store.steampowered.com/app/Airport_CEO) and various review websites which had non-primary source information on the subject. The largest source by far is the official website and their DevBlogs, but I am not sure if these are sufficient as citations. As for the actual creation of the article, I have read through the Article Creation guidelines thouroughly and had practice with editing and using the Wikipedia Editor, and think that I would be able to handle the creation of the article.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated; many thanks in advance. Closingbracket ( talk) 21:52, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

Dear Teahouse, I am asking for a solution for the weather data at Cizre and Göle. Since 2017 an editor is mentioning that the climate data in Cizre and Göle is not correct. Usually he removes the climate data without leaving an edit summary, but since some weeks he communicates with other editors, mainly me. I would like to find a solution, either we just leave the weather as he wants it, but his edit summaries are nonsense. He writes he is against climate data, but if we bring another one he is also against this one. I have noticed that climate data is quite wrong if it refers to to the climate table, but it is correct if it refers to the daily climate data. I have asked Femkemilene and Materialscientist for help, but there was no solution. So what can we do? Paradise Chronicle ( talk) 22:49, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
Many thanks. I created a new page "Umami (film)" and uploaded it (regarding our Gerard Depardieu film to be released next year). Is there anything extra I need to do to have it go live? I am a main producer of the film and have authority to do it. Loliverfrost ( talk) 22:51, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
Hello! I am looking to create a page for Michelle Knudsen, the manager/producer from MXN Entertainment whose credits include QUEEN & SLIM and WHEN WE FIRST MET, amongst others (IMDB page: https://pro.imdb.com/name/nm3082630/?ref_=instant_nm_1&q=michelle%20knudsen). I noticed that there is already a Wikipedia page for a book author by the same name, and you are thus immediately directed to her page when searching "Michelle Knudsen". I have been trying for weeks to publish an article on the manager/producer Michelle Knudsen but am having little success with the actual publishing, despite including sources for every piece of information. I am new to editing on Wikipedia and would love any assistance on how I can publish this article! Thank you so much. Emilyafoster95 ( talk) 20:31, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

The table for cases and deaths per million in COVID-19 pandemic by country and territory is a mess, even though it should be simple for someone technically competent to fix it.

My contribution was more than constructive.
Wiki’s entry For typographic points is written: “In digital type, letters of a font are designed around an imaginary space called an em square. When a point size of a font is specified, the font is scaled so that its em square has a side length of that particular length in points.”
If the font is to be scaled to the specified point size of a font, it can’t be “imaginary”.
So, I edited the first sentence to;
In digital type, letters of a font are designed in a space representing the vertical distance any typesetter will move with no additional line spacing, also known as leading. The square of that vertical distance is called an em square.
So then; When a point size of a font is specified, the font is scaled so that its em square has a side length of that particular length in points.
Makes more sense.
How is that not constructive? 2601:18E:8200:6919:7950:34D:47D5:DE64 ( talk) 10:30, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I started Draft:Arzamas (website) and some people except me have participated too, but it was declined because it looks like an advertisement, with I agree with and it’s my fault, but the problem is that it looks like there are only three English-language sources about Arzamas so it could be impossible to write a proper article. What should I do? DonGuess ( talk) 11:59, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
|language=
, |quote=
, |trans-work=
and |trans-title=
, etc. If you're going to cite a non-English source, it's going to be assumed that you've got sufficient language ability yourself to understand what the source is saying; however, the AfC reviewer reviewing the draft might not have the same ability. So, you might be able to help clarify the source if you can provide a rough translation/summary of it on the draft's talk page or possibly a link to an online translation of it (perhaps using something like
Google Translate). Machine-based translations are not really considered good enough for content added to an article, but a machine translation of the the source might make it easier for reviewers to assess the source. You might be able to add a link to an online English translation of the source (if you can find one) to the actual citation syntax using the |trans-work=
parameter. --

12:20, 14 June 2020 (UTC)I have read here@ Robert McClenon:: "In this specific case, my opinion is that we should stub the draft on Back Market and accept it, stripped of the promotional material." . Can you explain it, please?. Ready to edit what is needed. On the other hand, I swear I recieve no money and nothing for editing Wikipedia, from Back Market and from no one related to both, directly or indirectly. I am independent, fortunately.

What happened twelve days ago is that a paid editor provided two drafts of Draft:Back Market. Then my inference as to what happened is that User:BoldLuis decided to help the paid editor with a gimmick of providing a template asking the reviewer to propose better wording on Back Market. I don't know whether User:BoldLuis is also being paid by Back Market or just sympathizes with paid editors and wants to help them. I Rejected the draft, because I was disgusted at another gimmick intended to get volunteer editors to write an article that both satisfies the corporate client by being positive and satisfies neutral point of view. (I don't know if that exists, or if it is a contradiction.)
So I will now ask User:BoldLuis whether they have a conflict of interest with Back Market. If not, why are they trying so hard in such a clueless and annoying way to help Back Market?
I will say that I think that paid editors often think that they are being treated unfairly because they are not supposed to edit directly and they do not get help in writing an article that is both neutral and promotional. I don't know if an article can be neutral and promotional, meaning that I haven't seen one yet that really is both, and I think it is sort of like a unicorn.

I say and repeat I am not paid by anyone. Can honest people as me edit Wikipedia?. The phrase: " I don't know whether User:BoldLuis is also being paid by Back Market or just sympathizes with paid editors and wants to help them." is biased. Paid? . What ?. Sympathizes?. False affirmations. I have put in several places and sworn I am not paid or helping to none. This is not important. I usually help people in my city without being paid. Why do you say it?. I only want to see a NPOV article about this topic. Can I see a neutral article in Wikipedia ?. BoldLuis ( talk) 21:11, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

The article on Donald Trump and racism TRUTH is best served first instead of errors of attitudes. So why isn't what Donald Trump has said and proven about himself printed first? And those who follow slander of Hillary Clinton and the media as exactly that of lies slander, opinion maglignancy to try to win a presidential race. There is no truth to this. An encyclopedia is supposed to give facts. 2600:1700:5D10:9B0:201B:FB00:5E6C:9DDE ( talk) 16:46, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi everyone - I noticed that semi-protected pages cannot be edited by new users unless their account is auto-confirmed or confirmed. I have made 10 edits and I have confirmed my account via the email confirmation, yet I still cannot edit semi-protected articles. Do I have to be a member for four days despite meeting the other two criteria? I have some primary source information to add to the Battle of Bunker Hill.

actaulyy i shared my thesis, which is why it was deleted. Please read WP:OR again. Our encyclopedia articles summarize what reliable, secondary sources (e.g., newspapers, books, peer-reviewed journals) have written about a subject that Wikipedia considers to be notable, according to WP:N. The article must have inline citations to those sources for any non-trivial statements. What was on your user page was apparently considered by a nominating user and an administrator to be unambiguous advertising, promotion, or your own research, which is not allowed. —[ AlanM1 ( talk)]— 21:59, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
