Greetings. How does one invite other editors to a talk page discussion without invoking WP:CAN? I've recently opened a discussion on the Famke Janssen talk page regarding including/excluding rowspans but I fear that discussion may have hit a roadblock already due to a similar issue being brought up in 2017 and no consensus was reached, likely due to a low number of editors on the article.

I want to create my personal information profile in Wikipedia. I not want to create my profile for any self-promotional purpose or business purpose. I have a account on Wikipedia, If someone search me on google, so that he can find me and know about my self. For this I want to create my information profile on Wikipedia.
Thank you. Iftekhar Alam Murad Iftekhar Alam Murad ( talk) 21:35, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
@ Iftekhar Alam Murad: Not meaning to come across as rude, I think you can easily achieve that goal in better ways. I would recommend Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Blogger, Wordpress and a host of other sites that al you to tell the world about yourself. These are all free sites which can help you make your presence felt on the internet when someone searches for your name. Unfortunately Wikipedia is not here for that purpose. On that basis would you be agreeable to me deleting Draft:Iftekhar Alam Murad? Kind regards, Nick Moyes ( talk) 22:51, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
Hello everyone, I spent 3 weeks to source for sources to create this article- Draft:Tiwalola Olanubi in main space and has been there waiting for review for about 10 days but just discovered that this article has been moved to draft space and the reason provided by the mover is that the article is "under sourced". This article has 12 sources. Of the 12 sources 4 are from printed newspapers with 2 ISSN while the other two printed newspapers do not print their ISSN but Vol & No which I included in the citations. I work in a newspaper section of a library where we file newspaper pages based on their coverage, for instance political stories, business, oil and gas etc to make it easy for researchers. This makes it easy for me to have access to offline sources for this article I created.
But I'm so surprised that this article is moved to draft space. I know that to create an article you must provide at least 3 sources. If this article has issues why was it not flagged for those issues? If the editor that moved this article to draft space felt that the subject does not meet Wikipedia notability guideline why did he not flag it for notability issue? But I know that the subject is notable because it has independent media coverage. I spent days reading about Wikipedia general notability guideline before moving to create this article. So I think I have a little understanding of Wikipedia notability guideline.
I have checked through the edit history of the editor that moved this article to draft space and discovered that he has moved hundreds of articles with at least 7 sources each to draft space for "under sourced". But I'm baffled that most of the articles this editor created have average of five sources. Why is he moving articles with higher number of sources than his own articles to draft space?
The editor that performed this action describes himself as "deletionist" and he is truly deleting articles. This editor wrote on his userpage that he is disappointed in the editors that "ignore common sense in place of process". This clearly shows that this editor does not observe Wikipedia editorial policies but uses his own common sense. But if everyone here uses 'commom sense' Wikipedia will become a lawless place where people behave the way they want. And the result? Wikipedia will lose his reputation. If this editor continues this way a lot of new editors will turn away. Maybe this editor alone made Wikipedia what it is today. I urge you all to address this issue. Best regards. Maco Paco ( talk) 12:46, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
Thank you @ Hoary:. This is an issue of policy. The notability guideline says independent media coverage of the subject and the subject of the article has same. Why did he not flag the article for notability concern? Does moving it to draft space confer notability on the article? Of the 12 sources cited you draw your conclusion from a single source? Did you look at these: [2] [3] [4]. You said that the article is too short but if I wrote more about him you would say it is promotional. He has won a reputable award, the company he founded has won awards too. Is notability no longer established by independent media coverage? Or the subject must be a governor, federal lawmaker to be notable? Maco Paco ( talk) 15:11, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
... arguably the foremost social media marketing company in Nigeria.is not trivial.
Recognized by Forbes as the “Most important awards for outstanding young Africans”.which suggests that this is not a trivial award, and contributes to notability. This article also seems to me to be solid coverage.
Thank you @ DESiegel: for taking time to review the sources of the article and more importantly your action on the article. I'm now encouraged to continue contributing while learning here. I hope that this article will go live. Once again thank you. Maco Paco ( talk) 19:04, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

I'm from Bangladesh and I really want to contribute to Wikipedia. I'm here to know some information. There is a page List of colleges in Bangladesh link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colleges_in_Bangladesh But that page doesn't have much information. It's empty so to say. As I am a student and blogger from Bangladesh i have the list of names of all of the colleges in Bangladesh. And i also have a reference page from official website of "Ministry of education of Bangladesh" which have the list of all of the name of the colleges in Bangladesh. So I'm willing to edit that page and give the list of all of the colleges of Bangladesh. I want to know if it's there any problem doing that work? Md Maruf Parvez ( talk) 09:12, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
F Is for Family. Attempts have been made to rename / move the title for this page to the correct capitalization of the word "is" in keeping with the show's title. When I went to move it, I received this dialogue box: "The page could not be moved, for the following reason: The page could not be moved: a page of that name already exists, or the name you have chosen is not valid. Please choose another name, or use Requested moves to ask for the page to be moved. Do not manually move the article by copying and pasting it; the page history must be moved along with the article text." There is a consensus on the Page to correct the title; but I'm not sure how to by-pass the now redirect page that has been created for the title is for Family. Any advice?

I am a relative newcomer to Wikipedia, but I am jumping in the deep end in my planned first major edit of merging Cosmetic surgery in Australia to Plastic Surgery. My major concern is about formatting guidelines for this kind of a topic. I like the way that the procedures under "Types of Cosmetic Surgery Available" are formatted in the Australia article, but am not sure how I can properly replicate it in the general Plastic Surgery article, or even if such formatting is appropriate for this section? I don't know if it would make the article too lengthy or complicated. (I don't think so.... but also I'm so new that this is all very daunting!)
Honestly, I envision "Cosmetic Surgery" as its own separate article that outlines the history of cosmetic surgery (as distinct from reconstructive plastic surgery) in modern times. This article, similar to the "Cosmetic Surgery in Australia" article would have lists of procedures, a brief description of their history and layman's explanation of the procedure, as well as indications, benefits, and complications of the procedure (cited from various PubMed articles and plastic surgery textbooks). The procedures may or may not link to individual articles about the procedure depending on if they already exist on Wikipedia and the information available about the the specific procedure. However, in the meantime as simply merging is daunting enough, I do not plan on doing this until I have a more robust list.
I suppose I have several questions.
1) What is the preferred formatting for a section of an article that is primarily a list and a brief descriptor? Should I use a bulleted list such as in the general Plastic Surgery article, or one with bolded subheaders (if that's the appropriate term) from the Cosmetic Surgery in Australia article?
2) How can I easily replicate this formatting when I merge an article? Are there templates available that I should use?
3) What steps should I take in merging an article with a section that will likely need to be split off in the future? Should I merge and then split? Or create a new article and then merge information from the two articles I have mentioned into it? Is my thought process appropriate for why Cosmetic Surgery should be its own article?

Although I have already activated the translation feature in the "Contributions" section, I am not allowed to translate anything as I always find an "issue" that says: "Your translation cannot be published because publishing is only allowed to more experienced editors on this wiki."

I recently made an edit on Mount San Antonio changing the elevation from 10,046 to 10,064. I did this because most other articles referring to it said it was 10,064. However, I forgot to add a source next to it. The source on the original that stated 10,046 was from over 30 years ago, so I trusted the other articles on Wikipedia. In the future, I will remember to always find a good source beforehand and not use other Wikipedia articles as sources.
However, a user who does not appear to be an administrator (did not appear on the list of 1,141 admins) placed the 3rd-level Template:Uw-disruptive3 warning template on my talk page that I could be blocked due to disruptive editing. I did not intend for said edit to be disruptive, but I naturally am worried that I could be blocked. Even though only admin can technically block you, are non-admins permitted to leave warning templates on others' talk pages? Thanks. Rubberducky785 ( talk) 05:51, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, and thank you for reading my question. I feel a certain Wikipedia user continually accuses my edits of being unconstructive and disruptive regardless of the content of the edit. The article in question is Blockbuster LLC in regards to the third paragraph of the lead. Over the course of a year, numerous edits by more than one user have continually skewed the factual accuracy of a sentence in this paragraph.
As you may know, Blockbuster LLC closed its corporate locations in 2014 but certain franchise-owned locations continued operating. The number of open franchise-owned locations decreased until early 2019, when the only one remained. The lead was continually changed to inaccurate dates following up to my edits which are actually unconstructive and disruptive.
I did not see the Wikipedia user in question talk to any of the users who made these erroneous edits. I tried correcting these edits by adding more accurate wording and including the source that originally reported the information. Less than a day later my edit was removed by this user, who I feel is watching my edits just to target me. I do not see why, in this wording, the edit need be removed or called unconstructive and disruptive. The citation was disputed approximately three years ago when it was used to support the factual claim being made in the article through a secondary source, since it is the only secondary source that was being continually updated and maintained. I feel personally targeted by this user and feel I cannot make any edits, even unrelated, in fear of reversal by them. KevinTheGuy ( talk) 21:38, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi everyone. I would like to ask for your help fixing the Soda Stereo article, given that it contains numerous problems including neutrality and encyclopedic tone. I outline most of these issues on my talk entry.
Grammar errors throughout the article can probably be fixed by monolingual English speakers, but further addition of sources or facts may need to be done by bilingual English-Spanish speakers, given that the article is about a very successful Argentinian band. As a fan of this band and English Wikipedia editor, I wanted to ask for your help in fixing this article, so that it can be renominated as a good article.

Hi Teahouse,
I work at a bigger article, in the Sandbox.
It is a garden/soil topic and touches the topic ´permaculture´.
After needing myself a longer time to understand it as an ideology, but hiding just this status, except of calling it just philosophy.
A philosophy - as permaculture - is able and does, (to) include things out from other topics and even back out of the past.
This kind to include technics out of the past, or other technics, which do not have to do anything with this ideology, is not OK, without clearly aparting it.
And permaculture does exact this not.
This is a basic problem, can be with other ideologies, too.
And from missing time, to do my article, and from not wanting to have some probably talk-fights about it, and not knowing a perhaps better place, so, please, just here.
But from being convinced, a knowledge data base will/can not support ideologies, in best hope.
Thanks for the reading and the interesst. --

OK. My english entire to disqualify I know from many opportunities. Even to my native german this happens, that this is no native german.
In this case I have to see my work, my effort, my interesst of some knowledge about the topic and therefrom seeing me able, to sort some important points to this topic. This CAN be seen, if one is in the topic, but appears to me to have fitting point of views as Wikipedia, which I cannot look through. Sorry.
(I am able to do mistakes, but I take kind notes, and with a senseful explanation. This I have to miss here. OK.)
With this reaction I am not able to go on to do my work.
My way saying things is basically explaining and not offending.
Fot to say my things I do need the way I say the things.
This Your reaction says in one, if I do not write english, as english is usual written and spoken, than I have to let me teach it first, if I want to write this just one article. This I REALLY only can and have to deny.
Sorry, the "I work at a bigger article", I meant ´article with lots of work´.
Without one point naming, where "edits to facts" in my article does NOT happen, I would not have to take it just so rejecting. So what ?
(My note is about the hiding of the ideology of permaculture. Labeling it exact as first at all as this, for that, that one, EACH, does not have to find it out just by him-/herself, if when being able to this.)

user:Nick Moyes, If I know programming language, does it give me additional advantage in editing some pages? Ppt2003 ( talk) 12:41, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
When I first looked at the article entitled List of biochemists I thought that it was extremely far from being adequate: many of those who created the subject (I counted more than 60), such Otto Warburg, were missing, but a fair number of people were included who have made no significant contribution. It was this realization that led me to think that I needed to register as a contributor. I have now corrected most of the most obvious omissions and unworthy entries, but now I've realized that there is another problem. For many entries about the only thing mentioned in the description is that the person is or was a professor in a particular university department. However, most such departments have many professors, of which only one or two are regarded as "notable", so it's clearly not where you work that makes you "notable" but what you did there. It's obviously valid to say that you have a Nobel Prize, as that's clearly noteworthy, and also that you're a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Otherwise I've restricted descriptions to what you did to make you notable. Having gone through the whole of the letter B I see that it's going to be a tremendous job to do the whole list. Before continuing, therefore, I'd be grateful to know if others agree with my criteria for noteworthiness. If you compare the letter B with any of the others you'll see what I'm getting at.

The Wikidata page already exists, I followed the instructions from the Template:Infobox person/Wikidata page to create an infobox, but it only shows the name and pictures of the person, not the entire biography as it does on the French Wikipedia page. Could you help me figure out how to fix this issue? Thanks Xaintax ( talk) 13:38, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
A few friends were recently very confused by a couple sentences at the end of the first paragraph in Imperfective aspect. After taking a look at these sentences and the paper cited to support them, I found that whoever added them pretty clearly misunderstood the cited article, which doesn't address imperfective aspect at all. I've added the irrelevant citation template to the article and raised the issue on its Talk page, but as I'm fairly new to Wikipedia editing, I'm not sure how long/if I have to wait before simply removing the two irrelevant/inaccurate sentences from the article. I don't want to be accused of unexplained removal of content, and though I think it's pretty clear to anyone familiar with the field that this paper doesn't address imperfective aspect, I don't want to get in trouble for removing it. I can find articles with guidelines about when to remove inaccurate unsourced content, but I'm struggling to find any indication of guidelines or a decision-making process for when to remove content that is only substantiated by an irrelevant source.

Hello and good day, I would like to ask. I've been editing and contributing here for quite some time already (probably more than 2 years) but I am unsigned. Everytime i edit, it is identified by various IP addresses (because it constantly changes everyday, when I stop edit for a time and returned) where they're all inactive already. I know something about sockpuppetry and it's against rules. Anyway, after quite some time, i can edit again (I've been blocked because my Ip address might be the same with the one whom they suspected to be a troll) and this is the only time I was welcomed. For some reason I choose to be anon, but if sometime (ex. tomorrow) I'll edit again, will the Ip address identified will be the same as the one I'm using right now or not? I choose not to sign up but maybe. Sorry if this is quite long.

The page for Penmorfa, Ceredigion shows a photograph of St Bueno's Church. However, that church is in Penmorfa, Gwynnedd - different village.
The photo is used correctly in a page about the church: /info/en/?search=St_Beuno%27s_Church,_Penmorfa
I work for an organisation that manages the church. How can I get the picture removed from the wrong Penmorfa page?

I am involved in writing more articles on Wikipedia about Australian women artists.

I have read the Wiki instructions on how to upload an image to Wikipedia Commons then put it on a specific site, and have also read the article about US Fair Use.

I'd like to add three vertically stacked "Series overview" tables to an article. The headers are all similar, but the data rows show different information for related television shows and spin-offs. I'm also trying to keep the tables separate for transclusion coding between articles and different subsections. When the tables are stacked, the column lines don't line up at all. All tables would look more consistent if the column borders lined up. I've tried the coding with width%, px, and em, but nothing has worked across all tables.

There is this company ( FIITJEE) that terms itself as a "coaching institute for competitive exams", but Reuters calls the whole industry a "cram school" without pinpointing the term at the specific company. Should the company be termed as a coaching institute or a cram school in its article?

Regarding "Land of Confusion" and the video by Genesis, specifically this: "The video opens with a caricatured Ronald Reagan (voiced by Chris Barrie), Nancy Reagan, and an orangutan, going to bed at 4:30 PM" (and subsequent references to the 'orangutan'). The video clearly depicts a dark brown chimpanzee, and not an orange orangutan. In fact, this is supposed to be a nod to the movie Bedtime for Bonzo, which was released in 1951 and starred Ronald Reagan.

Seeing how it has burned a ton of acres, is near the Grand Canyon (a popular geographic destination in the US. It's very big, so in this case its burning near Grand Canyon National Park) in North Eastern Arizona, and is the biggest wildfire so far this year in the US by burned area I am aware of, I was suprised that upon looking it up on Wikipedia, there wasn't an article about it yet. Considering that, lots of people will probably search it up online and probably already have, in search of info on the fire, so I think it would be a good idea to expand it and provide more information. As this is for something ongoing and I am only one person, I'd appreciate if others would help keep it up to date as I am not able to do so all the time, until the fire is 100% containted.

As mentioned in my talk page comment, another editor has verified that they are OK. Just trying to figure out how to improve. Caryplace7 ( talk) 18:50, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
Thank you once again to for your willingness to discuss this mater this me. An editor approved these three sources as proof of notability here ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:1292simon&oldid=959809163#Draft:_Mike_Greenhaus) In terms of notability, I followed the link and looked at it closely and I believe the subject of this bio does meet those requirements. I have cited over 40 independent sources that either cite him, interview him or are written about him, including Chicago Tribune, USA Today, Folio and the Jerusalem Post article you mentioned (which meets the "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors" area of the link and the "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability" section) Of the top 3-4 sources I cited, Under the Scales podcast focused specifically on this subject is a top rated music podcast. The Glide Magazine feature I cited is also a independent profile specifically on that subject (where I got much of the info for the bio). In addition, the fact that the subject of the bio is the Editor-in-Chief of a nationally recognized magazine (with its own approved wiki page) and the cocreater of the media group it is part of should hit these points ("The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.") Please let me know if there are certain areas I can rework from the bio to help move it along Caryplace7 ( talk) 20:26, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for your your willingness to look at these. All four links provided mention the subject and are specifically focused on the subject. They have also already been cleared as independent sources by a previous editor here: ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:1292simon&oldid=959809163#Draft:_Mike_Greenhaus) I also have over 35 additional sources cited in the bio that reference the subject I spent a lot of time working on it and want to improve it so that it is approved and I am willing to do what is needed by feel like I am going to circles by having sources approved and then rejected.

Thank you for your reply. At times like this, I wish there was a more direct interface so it is easier to communicate. I am not sure if we are looking at different links, but that is not a Relix podcast; in fact, it has no association with Relix or Greenhaus. It just covers him and the magazine. If you read the bio I wrote and the Jerusalem Post piece, then you will see that the article is on an event he produces and talks about his involvement. They have also already been cleared as independent sources by a previous editor here: ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:1292simon&oldid=959809163#Draft:_Mike_Greenhaus)
As I mentioned before, NONE of the sources I included are written by the subject of this bio and all of them reference or quote him specifically. Would these be better sources: https://observer.com/2017/05/jam-bands-relix-live-music-conference/, https://www.jambase.com/article/gimme-shelter-in-place-incidental-animals-grateful-dead-bertha (the video interview included about how the subject of this bio formed the band profiled) or https://www.brooklynvegan.com/sinkane-talking-at-rockwood-playing-a-museum-touring-with-son-lux/

that is not a Relix podcastThe casual visitor clicks on a link which has been pasted into the draft without any identification and gets to an anonymous podcast web page that says "RELIX" at the top. What are they supposed to believe it is? If you have any information about what the podcast actually is or why the content is relevant, you need to provide that in the reference – and note that we do not expect our readers to have to listen to a hour-long show to find a snippet of information. The reference has to be specific.

I appreciate your feedback and know this is a volunteer effort and that I have a lot of work to do on this bio. However, when you say, "The casual visitor clicks on a link which has been pasted into the draft without any identification and gets to an anonymous podcast web page that says "RELIX" at the top. What are they supposed to believe it is" That is the title of the episode not a brand designation.

Hello, I would like to obtain help revising a draft article that has been rejected. The reasons for rejection are explained here: "This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject. The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations." I made every effort to write the article in the most neutral language possible, and to support information included in the text with footnotes up to a reasonable number, short of peppering the document with repeat references. Any assistance in addressing these issues in order to bring the submission into compliance with guidelines would be much appreciated. I have since added further references and included one or two additional sentences, but not undertaken a major rewrite. In a couple of cases the URLs of sites referenced have been rejected by Wikipedia as blacklisted. Since one of them is a page of the Indian National Science Academy, I wonder if it is worth attempting to have them released from blacklisting. Lastly, when the time comes to resubmit, I would like to ensure that this is done through the appropriate subject channel rather than via a general submission queue. Perhaps someone could offer guidance in this regard. Thank you for your attention. The draft article is here: Draft:Amitabha Ghosh Thank you for your assistance.

In the "Koreanic languages" table on this page, the first td element in the last tr element, "Jeju", has a rowspan class equal to "2". What is the purpose of this class here? From what I see, that td element does not span two rows and the class should not be there.
The reason for the question is that I have an application that is parsing this table and this rowspan is breaking it. I'd like to edit the page to remove the rowspan but I don't want to do that if the class is necessary for some reason I am not aware of.

Hi wiki people! Thanks for maintaining this nifty forum. I recently submitted an article for consideration that got rejected, and I would love it if someone could give me some advice/review my updates to it before I resubmit. The big things are: (1) Taking a look at the updated article and let me know if they think its sources have been updated sufficiently/meet criteria for reliability (I know some sources do not - ie, I cited some specific tweets by the band, even though I know blogs and social media are not generally reliable sources). Generally, is it looking okay, or are there any specific suggestions you'd make? (2) Explaining if there's a place where I can explain why I believe the group meets Wikipedia:Notability (music) requirements - I feel pretty confident that it does, but I understand why that might not be obvious at first glance, and I wondered if there was a place where I could explain that in more detail when I submit it for review #2.

Hi there, I created this draft about "Sklavenkasse"/slave funds and would like to have it published as I think it is finished. It is also not promotional, but a mere translation of the German Wiki article for the term.
Question1: The draft has been marked for "sppedy deletion" as you can see on my talk page. Who did that, why has that been done and how can I get this undone? Or at least: What is the reason why the draft has been marked as "unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view"? Because it simply is not - otherwise it would be the same for the term in the German Wikipedia.
Question2: Where exactly do I have to go to for the apporval of the article - or where do I find the responsible administrator in charge of the approval process?

Hello, I am new to wikipedia and submitted an article about Statera and index fund but backed by cryptocurrncies. it was declined due to not having "is submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any re submission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia." A third party audit is currently being conducted on stateras code and its project. Would this help as one for references. Would it be better to have this a sub heading on index funds page? Sort of as a subheading of another type of index fund. I know crypto currency is new. But it is gaining momentum. I was really interested in this project as i a am small personal investor and always liked index funds specifically vanguards voo then i saw this project and it caught my attention. I would really like help in the creation of this page or maybe as a subheading. Any help would be appreciated.

I am gathering as much as a can and hopefully with the audit more data and sources will emerge in the following weeks. As mention in my post, since this is a variation of an index fund, is there any chance this can be part of the index fund page or a variation of it, once the audit is complete or more outside sources emerge confirming its credibitly.

It may have been one where I was trying to work out how to achieve a particular change and wasn't sure how to but I was pretty sure everything I saved as a final edit was accurate.
Is there a way to identify which amendment was removed?
Thanks

Thanks for the link CommanderWaterford that is exactly what I needed - can't see why it was removed from that though nor why the system would have identified it as a test. There terminology used in the "boilerplate" response is either patronizing or aggressive depending on your sensitivity and not likely to encourage people to contribute.

Hey Wikipedia -
I am interested in starting a new article to describe one of the most prominent deities of many of the language groups of the east Pacific coast, known commonly as "Raven" in English.
A quick search will reveal this deity doesn't appear to be recognized on Wikipedia, even though they are at the centre of the numerous cultures stretching from modern-day Alaska, through BC, to Washington state.
I would be depending on a handful of sources I am familiar with, and would necessarily start from the Haida perspective, as I am a Haida person. After the article's creation, however, I would very much hope to see the community start to add more and more information about this deity. "Raven" is recognized by numerous names along the coast, and has as many stories.
As a beginner, I just want to seek advice and direction before starting. Any feedback would be welcome.
Haawa! (Thanks!) Shoutsofvictory ( talk) 07:08, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

I've recently opened a discussion on the Famke Janssen talk page regarding including/excluding rowspans but I fear that discussion may have hit a roadblock already due to a similar issue being brought up in 2017 and no consensus was reached, likely due to a low number of editors on the article.

@ Iftekhar Alam Murad: Not meaning to come across as rude, I think you can easily achieve that goal in better ways. I would recommend Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Blogger, Wordpress and a host of other sites that al you to tell the world about yourself. These are all free sites which can help you make your presence felt on the internet when someone searches for your name. Unfortunately Wikipedia is not here for that purpose. On that basis would you be agreeable to me deleting Draft:Iftekhar Alam Murad? Kind regards, Nick Moyes ( talk) 22:51, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
Hello everyone, I spent 3 weeks to source for sources to create this article- Draft:Tiwalola Olanubi in main space and has been there waiting for review for about 10 days but just discovered that this article has been moved to draft space and the reason provided by the mover is that the article is "under sourced". This article has 12 sources. Of the 12 sources 4 are from printed newspapers with 2 ISSN while the other two printed newspapers do not print their ISSN but Vol & No which I included in the citations. I work in a newspaper section of a library where we file newspaper pages based on their coverage, for instance political stories, business, oil and gas etc to make it easy for researchers. This makes it easy for me to have access to offline sources for this article I created.
But I'm so surprised that this article is moved to draft space. I know that to create an article you must provide at least 3 sources. If this article has issues why was it not flagged for those issues? If the editor that moved this article to draft space felt that the subject does not meet Wikipedia notability guideline why did he not flag it for notability issue? But I know that the subject is notable because it has independent media coverage. I spent days reading about Wikipedia general notability guideline before moving to create this article. So I think I have a little understanding of Wikipedia notability guideline.
I have checked through the edit history of the editor that moved this article to draft space and discovered that he has moved hundreds of articles with at least 7 sources each to draft space for "under sourced". But I'm baffled that most of the articles this editor created have average of five sources. Why is he moving articles with higher number of sources than his own articles to draft space?
The editor that performed this action describes himself as "deletionist" and he is truly deleting articles. This editor wrote on his userpage that he is disappointed in the editors that "ignore common sense in place of process". This clearly shows that this editor does not observe Wikipedia editorial policies but uses his own common sense. But if everyone here uses 'commom sense' Wikipedia will become a lawless place where people behave the way they want. And the result? Wikipedia will lose his reputation. If this editor continues this way a lot of new editors will turn away. Maybe this editor alone made Wikipedia what it is today. I urge you all to address this issue. Best regards. Maco Paco ( talk) 12:46, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
Thank you @ Hoary:. This is an issue of policy. The notability guideline says independent media coverage of the subject and the subject of the article has same. Why did he not flag the article for notability concern? Does moving it to draft space confer notability on the article? Of the 12 sources cited you draw your conclusion from a single source? Did you look at these: [2] [3] [4]. You said that the article is too short but if I wrote more about him you would say it is promotional. He has won a reputable award, the company he founded has won awards too. Is notability no longer established by independent media coverage? Or the subject must be a governor, federal lawmaker to be notable? Maco Paco ( talk) 15:11, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
... arguably the foremost social media marketing company in Nigeria.is not trivial.
Recognized by Forbes as the “Most important awards for outstanding young Africans”.which suggests that this is not a trivial award, and contributes to notability. This article also seems to me to be solid coverage.
Thank you @ DESiegel: for taking time to review the sources of the article and more importantly your action on the article. I'm now encouraged to continue contributing while learning here. I hope that this article will go live. Once again thank you. Maco Paco ( talk) 19:04, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

I am a relative newcomer to Wikipedia, but I am jumping in the deep end in my planned first major edit of merging Cosmetic surgery in Australia to Plastic Surgery. My major concern is about formatting guidelines for this kind of a topic. I like the way that the procedures under "Types of Cosmetic Surgery Available" are formatted in the Australia article, but am not sure how I can properly replicate it in the general Plastic Surgery article, or even if such formatting is appropriate for this section? I don't know if it would make the article too lengthy or complicated. (I don't think so.... but also I'm so new that this is all very daunting!)
Honestly, I envision "Cosmetic Surgery" as its own separate article that outlines the history of cosmetic surgery (as distinct from reconstructive plastic surgery) in modern times. This article, similar to the "Cosmetic Surgery in Australia" article would have lists of procedures, a brief description of their history and layman's explanation of the procedure, as well as indications, benefits, and complications of the procedure (cited from various PubMed articles and plastic surgery textbooks). The procedures may or may not link to individual articles about the procedure depending on if they already exist on Wikipedia and the information available about the the specific procedure. However, in the meantime as simply merging is daunting enough, I do not plan on doing this until I have a more robust list.
I suppose I have several questions.
1) What is the preferred formatting for a section of an article that is primarily a list and a brief descriptor? Should I use a bulleted list such as in the general Plastic Surgery article, or one with bolded subheaders (if that's the appropriate term) from the Cosmetic Surgery in Australia article?
2) How can I easily replicate this formatting when I merge an article? Are there templates available that I should use?
3) What steps should I take in merging an article with a section that will likely need to be split off in the future? Should I merge and then split? Or create a new article and then merge information from the two articles I have mentioned into it? Is my thought process appropriate for why Cosmetic Surgery should be its own article?

I recently made an edit on Mount San Antonio changing the elevation from 10,046 to 10,064. I did this because most other articles referring to it said it was 10,064. However, I forgot to add a source next to it. The source on the original that stated 10,046 was from over 30 years ago, so I trusted the other articles on Wikipedia. In the future, I will remember to always find a good source beforehand and not use other Wikipedia articles as sources.
However, a user who does not appear to be an administrator (did not appear on the list of 1,141 admins) placed the 3rd-level Template:Uw-disruptive3 warning template on my talk page that I could be blocked due to disruptive editing.

Hello, and thank you for reading my question. I feel a certain Wikipedia user continually accuses my edits of being unconstructive and disruptive regardless of the content of the edit. The article in question is Blockbuster LLC in regards to the third paragraph of the lead. Over the course of a year, numerous edits by more than one user have continually skewed the factual accuracy of a sentence in this paragraph.
As you may know, Blockbuster LLC closed its corporate locations in 2014 but certain franchise-owned locations continued operating. The number of open franchise-owned locations decreased until early 2019, when the only one remained. The lead was continually changed to inaccurate dates following up to my edits which are actually unconstructive and disruptive.
I did not see the Wikipedia user in question talk to any of the users who made these erroneous edits. I tried correcting these edits by adding more accurate wording and including the source that originally reported the information. Less than a day later my edit was removed by this user, who I feel is watching my edits just to target me. I do not see why, in this wording, the edit need be removed or called unconstructive and disruptive. The citation was disputed approximately three years ago when it was used to support the factual claim being made in the article through a secondary source, since it is the only secondary source that was being continually updated and maintained. I feel personally targeted by this user and feel I cannot make any edits, even unrelated, in fear of reversal by them. KevinTheGuy ( talk) 21:38, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

Grammar errors throughout the article can probably be fixed by monolingual English speakers, but further addition of sources or facts may need to be done by bilingual English-Spanish speakers, given that the article is about a very successful Argentinian band.

Hi Teahouse,
I work at a bigger article, in the Sandbox.
It is a garden/soil topic and touches the topic ´permaculture´.
After needing myself a longer time to understand it as an ideology, but hiding just this status, except of calling it just philosophy.
A philosophy - as permaculture - is able and does, (to) include things out from other topics and even back out of the past.
This kind to include technics out of the past, or other technics, which do not have to do anything with this ideology, is not OK, without clearly aparting it.
And permaculture does exact this not.
This is a basic problem, can be with other ideologies, too.
And from missing time, to do my article, and from not wanting to have some probably talk-fights about it, and not knowing a perhaps better place, so, please, just here.
But from being convinced, a knowledge data base will/can not support ideologies, in best hope.
Thanks for the reading and the interesst. --

In this case I have to see my work, my effort, my interesst of some knowledge about the topic and therefrom seeing me able, to sort some important points to this topic. This CAN be seen, if one is in the topic, but appears to me to have fitting point of views as Wikipedia, which I cannot look through. Sorry.
(I am able to do mistakes, but I take kind notes, and with a senseful explanation. This I have to miss here. OK.)
With this reaction I am not able to go on to do my work.
My way saying things is basically explaining and not offending.
Fot to say my things I do need the way I say the things.
This Your reaction says in one, if I do not write english, as english is usual written and spoken, than I have to let me teach it first, if I want to write this just one article. This I REALLY only can and have to deny.
Sorry, the "I work at a bigger article", I meant ´article with lots of work´.
Without one point naming, where "edits to facts" in my article does NOT happen, I would not have to take it just so rejecting. So what ?
(My note is about the hiding of the ideology of permaculture. Labeling it exact as first at all as this, for that, that one, EACH, does not have to find it out just by him-/herself, if when being able to this.)

I am looking for if some one can proactively help out in long pending verification of refs of two edits: (+2942) & (+6368) and updating @ Talk:Islamic_feminism#Islamic Feminism Jagged 85 problem resolution analysis table.
I have checked for 17 out of 19 still two significant are remaining. And now feeling bit weary -also have other focus areas to work on- but still wish task gets completed, so decision making about content and article's other related tasks can breathe with little more ease.
(More details are mentioned in earlier section of the talk page
Thanks and regards

user:Nick Moyes, If I know programming language, does it give me additional advantage in editing some pages? Ppt2003 ( talk) 12:41, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
When I first looked at the article entitled List of biochemists I thought that it was extremely far from being adequate: many of those who created the subject (I counted more than 60), such Otto Warburg, were missing, but a fair number of people were included who have made no significant contribution. It was this realization that led me to think that I needed to register as a contributor. I have now corrected most of the most obvious omissions and unworthy entries, but now I've realized that there is another problem. For many entries about the only thing mentioned in the description is that the person is or was a professor in a particular university department. However, most such departments have many professors, of which only one or two are regarded as "notable", so it's clearly not where you work that makes you "notable" but what you did there. It's obviously valid to say that you have a Nobel Prize, as that's clearly noteworthy, and also that you're a member of the National Academy of Sciences. Otherwise I've restricted descriptions to what you did to make you notable. Having gone through the whole of the letter B I see that it's going to be a tremendous job to do the whole list. Before continuing, therefore, I'd be grateful to know if others agree with my criteria for noteworthiness. If you compare the letter B with any of the others you'll see what I'm getting at.

I represent a public figure whose entry in Wikipedia is described by a former stage name which is no longer the name he goes by and has not been for some time. He is referred to throughout the article by the stage name, which is also incorrect. There are also some factual inconsistencies that need correcting. How to go about doing this?

Hi, I translated the Simon Gillham page from French to English, but I can't figure out how to duplicate the Wikidata Infobox on the page. The Wikidata page already exists, I followed the instructions from the Template:Infobox person/Wikidata page to create an infobox, but it only shows the name and pictures of the person, not the entire biography as it does on the French Wikipedia page. Could you help me figure out how to fix this issue? Thanks Xaintax ( talk) 13:38, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
A few friends were recently very confused by a couple sentences at the end of the first paragraph in Imperfective aspect. After taking a look at these sentences and the paper cited to support them, I found that whoever added them pretty clearly misunderstood the cited article, which doesn't address imperfective aspect at all. I've added the irrelevant citation template to the article and raised the issue on its Talk page, but as I'm fairly new to Wikipedia editing, I'm not sure how long/if I have to wait before simply removing the two irrelevant/inaccurate sentences from the article. I don't want to be accused of unexplained removal of content, and though I think it's pretty clear to anyone familiar with the field that this paper doesn't address imperfective aspect, I don't want to get in trouble for removing it. I can find articles with guidelines about when to remove inaccurate unsourced content, but I'm struggling to find any indication of guidelines or a decision-making process for when to remove content that is only substantiated by an irrelevant source.

Hello and good day, I would like to ask. I've been editing and contributing here for quite some time already (probably more than 2 years) but I am unsigned. Everytime i edit, it is identified by various IP addresses (because it constantly changes everyday, when I stop edit for a time and returned) where they're all inactive already. I know something about sockpuppetry and it's against rules. Anyway, after quite some time, i can edit again (I've been blocked because my Ip address might be the same with the one whom they suspected to be a troll) and this is the only time I was welcomed. For some reason I choose to be anon, but if sometime (ex. tomorrow) I'll edit again, will the Ip address identified will be the same as the one I'm using right now or not? I choose not to sign up but maybe. Sorry if this is quite long.

I have read the Wiki instructions on how to upload an image to Wikipedia Commons then put it on a specific site, and have also read the article about US Fair Use.

I'd like to add three vertically stacked "Series overview" tables to an article. The headers are all similar, but the data rows show different information for related television shows and spin-offs. I'm also trying to keep the tables separate for transclusion coding between articles and different subsections. When the tables are stacked, the column lines don't line up at all. All tables would look more consistent if the column borders lined up. I've tried the coding with width%, px, and em, but nothing has worked across all tables. What's the best coding for this scenario? Any suggestions? Any samples that could be shared or linked? CYAce01 ( talk) 09:34, 16 June 2020 (UTC)
There is this company ( FIITJEE) that terms itself as a "coaching institute for competitive exams", but Reuters calls the whole industry a "cram school" without pinpointing the term at the specific company. Should the company be termed as a coaching institute or a cram school in its article? I’m asking this because the article is itself somewhat biased against the industry (despite Reuters being reputed), but another editor insists on keeping it.

Can you please help me set up this page without deleting it? In the past, I've tried to do this, and your editors mark it for spam or advertising. This is frustrating, because there are several associations with pages from the aviation industry.

Regarding "Land of Confusion" and the video by Genesis, specifically this: "The video opens with a caricatured Ronald Reagan (voiced by Chris Barrie), Nancy Reagan, and an orangutan, going to bed at 4:30 PM" (and subsequent references to the 'orangutan'). The video clearly depicts a dark brown chimpanzee, and not an orange orangutan. In fact, this is supposed to be a nod to the movie Bedtime for Bonzo, which was released in 1951 and starred Ronald Reagan.

It's very big, so in this case its burning near Grand Canyon National Park) in North Eastern Arizona, and is the biggest wildfire so far this year in the US by burned area I am aware of, I was suprised that upon looking it up on Wikipedia, there wasn't an article about it yet. Considering that, lots of people will probably search it up online and probably already have, in search of info on the fire, so I think it would be a good idea to expand it and provide more information. As this is for something ongoing and I am only one person, I'd appreciate if others would help keep it up to date as I am not able to do so all the time, until the fire is 100% containted. The article I created is at Magnum Fire Thanks to whoever helps edit the article or replies to this question, Greshthegreat ( talk) 00:38, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I have been trying to get my first bio of a living person published for a few weeks now ( /info/en/?search=Draft:Mike_Greenhaus). I have been denied before but tried to follow instructions in order to improve it. I have spoken with an editor who denied it and they confirmed that there is no conflict of interest. I have also pinpointed 3-4 independent references that are listed as best references at the top and bottom of the bio I am working on. Is there anything else you could recommend, based on the bio, that would help me get approved? Happy to rework it as needed. Caryplace7 ( talk) 17:12, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for your note and wiliness to look over this article. I am curious, what about the articles "do not show notability?" All three of them are independent sources focused specifically on the subject of my bio. The subject of his bio is the Editor-in-Chief of a national magazine ( /info/en/?search=Relix) and cited as a source in a variety of national publications. As mentioned in my talk page comment, another editor has verified that they are OK. Just trying to figure out how to improve. Caryplace7 ( talk) 18:50, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
Thank you once again to for your willingness to discuss this mater this me. An editor approved these three sources as proof of notability here ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:1292simon&oldid=959809163#Draft:_Mike_Greenhaus) In terms of notability, I followed the link and looked at it closely and I believe the subject of this bio does meet those requirements. I have cited over 40 independent sources that either cite him, interview him or are written about him, including Chicago Tribune, USA Today, Folio and the Jerusalem Post article you mentioned (which meets the "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors" area of the link and the "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability" section) Of the top 3-4 sources I cited, Under the Scales podcast focused specifically on this subject is a top rated music podcast. The Glide Magazine feature I cited is also a independent profile specifically on that subject (where I got much of the info for the bio). In addition, the fact that the subject of the bio is the Editor-in-Chief of a nationally recognized magazine (with its own approved wiki page) and the cocreater of the media group it is part of should hit these points ("The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.") Please let me know if there are certain areas I can rework from the bio to help move it along Caryplace7 ( talk) 20:26, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for your your willingness to look at these. All four links provided mention the subject and are specifically focused on the subject. They have also already been cleared as independent sources by a previous editor here: ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:1292simon&oldid=959809163#Draft:_Mike_Greenhaus) I also have over 35 additional sources cited in the bio that reference the subject I spent a lot of time working on it and want to improve it so that it is approved and I am willing to do what is needed by feel like I am going to circles by having sources approved and then rejected.

Thank you for your reply. At times like this, I wish there was a more direct interface so it is easier to communicate. I am not sure if we are looking at different links, but that is not a Relix podcast; in fact, it has no association with Relix or Greenhaus. It just covers him and the magazine. If you read the bio I wrote and the Jerusalem Post piece, then you will see that the article is on an event he produces and talks about his involvement. They have also already been cleared as independent sources by a previous editor here: ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=User_talk:1292simon&oldid=959809163#Draft:_Mike_Greenhaus)
As I mentioned before, NONE of the sources I included are written by the subject of this bio and all of them reference or quote him specifically. Would these be better sources: https://observer.com/2017/05/jam-bands-relix-live-music-conference/, https://www.jambase.com/article/gimme-shelter-in-place-incidental-animals-grateful-dead-bertha (the video interview included about how the subject of this bio formed the band profiled) or https://www.brooklynvegan.com/sinkane-talking-at-rockwood-playing-a-museum-touring-with-son-lux/

that is not a Relix podcastThe casual visitor clicks on a link which has been pasted into the draft without any identification and gets to an anonymous podcast web page that says "RELIX" at the top. What are they supposed to believe it is? If you have any information about what the podcast actually is or why the content is relevant, you need to provide that in the reference – and note that we do not expect our readers to have to listen to a hour-long show to find a snippet of information. The reference has to be specific.

I appreciate your feedback and know this is a volunteer effort and that I have a lot of work to do on this bio. However, when you say, "The casual visitor clicks on a link which has been pasted into the draft without any identification and gets to an anonymous podcast web page that says "RELIX" at the top. What are they supposed to believe it is" That is the title of the episode not a brand designation.

Hello, I would like to obtain help revising a draft article that has been rejected. The reasons for rejection are explained here: "This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject. The content of this submission includes material that does not meet Wikipedia's minimum standard for inline citations." I made every effort to write the article in the most neutral language possible, and to support information included in the text with footnotes up to a reasonable number, short of peppering the document with repeat references. Any assistance in addressing these issues in order to bring the submission into compliance with guidelines would be much appreciated. I have since added further references and included one or two additional sentences, but not undertaken a major rewrite. In a couple of cases the URLs of sites referenced have been rejected by Wikipedia as blacklisted. Since one of them is a page of the Indian National Science Academy, I wonder if it is worth attempting to have them released from blacklisting. Lastly, when the time comes to resubmit, I would like to ensure that this is done through the appropriate subject channel rather than via a general submission queue. Perhaps someone could offer guidance in this regard. Thank you for your attention. The draft article is here: Draft:Amitabha Ghosh Thank you for your assistance.

In the "Koreanic languages" table on this page, the first td element in the last tr element, "Jeju", has a rowspan class equal to "2". What is the purpose of this class here? From what I see, that td element does not span two rows and the class should not be there.
The reason for the question is that I have an application that is parsing this table and this rowspan is breaking it. I'd like to edit the page to remove the rowspan but I don't want to do that if the class is necessary for some reason I am not aware of.

Hi wiki people! Thanks for maintaining this nifty forum. I recently submitted an article for consideration that got rejected, and I would love it if someone could give me some advice/review my updates to it before I resubmit. The big things are: (1) Taking a look at the updated article and let me know if they think its sources have been updated sufficiently/meet criteria for reliability (I know some sources do not - ie, I cited some specific tweets by the band, even though I know blogs and social media are not generally reliable sources). Generally, is it looking okay, or are there any specific suggestions you'd make? (2) Explaining if there's a place where I can explain why I believe the group meets Wikipedia:Notability (music) requirements - I feel pretty confident that it does, but I understand why that might not be obvious at first glance, and I wondered if there was a place where I could explain that in more detail when I submit it for review #2.

There is no rationale reported for the wholesale erasing of factual information, attributed and referenced to legitimate news operations. They're basically using their Wiki entry as a PR outpost, and this just seems wrong. They are using remoyte accounts to do the public relations editing of their Wiki entry.

Hi there, I created this draft about "Sklavenkasse"/slave funds and would like to have it published as I think it is finished. It is also not promotional, but a mere translation of the German Wiki article for the term.
Question1: The draft has been marked for "sppedy deletion" as you can see on my talk page. Who did that, why has that been done and how can I get this undone? Or at least: What is the reason why the draft has been marked as "unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view"? Because it simply is not - otherwise it would be the same for the term in the German Wikipedia.

Hello, I am new to wikipedia and submitted an article about Statera and index fund but backed by cryptocurrncies. it was declined due to not having "is submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any re submission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia." A third party audit is currently being conducted on stateras code and its project. Would this help as one for references. Would it be better to have this a sub heading on index funds page? Sort of as a subheading of another type of index fund. I know crypto currency is new. But it is gaining momentum. I was really interested in this project as i a am small personal investor and always liked index funds specifically vanguards voo then i saw this project and it caught my attention. I would really like help in the creation of this page or maybe as a subheading. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance Nottherealsatoshi ( talk) 20:31, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
Hello, Mr Templeton, I appreciate the quick response and honesty. Yes the website is called or google "Statera token" or Stateratoken.com . A third party audit is currently being performed on this code to clear up any uncertainties. I will gather more outside sources as the project progresses as stated by wiki. I am gathering as much as a can and hopefully with the audit more data and sources will emerge in the following weeks. As mention in my post, since this is a variation of an index fund, is there any chance this can be part of the index fund page or a variation of it, once the audit is complete or more outside sources emerge confirming its credibitly. Thank you, in advance — Preceding

Would this be considered a good outside reference, it is a third party audit on Statera's code and security, ensuring that it has no high or medium critical issues in its code or securty

I recently put a revision onto a site ( /info/en/?search=List_of_Peckett_and_Sons_railway_locomotives). It was one of several on that site that I have made. I am actively researching this subject and there are lots of errors on this particular wikipedia site. When I check the history it says one of my edits has been subsequently removed with the comment "identified as test/vandalism using STiki". It certainly wasn't vandalism. It may have been one where I was trying to work out how to achieve a particular change and wasn't sure how to but I was pretty sure everything I saved as a final edit was accurate.
Is there a way to identify which amendment was removed?
Thanks

Thanks for the link CommanderWaterford that is exactly what I needed - can't see why it was removed from that though nor why the system would have identified it as a test. There terminology used in the "boilerplate" response is either patronizing or aggressive depending on your sensitivity and not likely to encourage people to contribute. Glad to hear even the experts can struggle at times - I will perservere Daphne737 ( talk) 18:55, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
Hey Wikipedia -
I am interested in starting a new article to describe one of the most prominent deities of many of the language groups of the east Pacific coast, known commonly as "Raven" in English.
A quick search will reveal this deity doesn't appear to be recognized on Wikipedia, even though they are at the centre of the numerous cultures stretching from modern-day Alaska, through BC, to Washington state.
I would be depending on a handful of sources I am familiar with, and would necessarily start from the Haida perspective, as I am a Haida person. After the article's creation, however, I would very much hope to see the community start to add more and more information about this deity. "Raven" is recognized by numerous names along the coast, and has as many stories.
As a beginner, I just want to seek advice and direction before starting. Any feedback would be welcome.
