I made some changes to Article: Hank (textile) but I think the name of the article should be changed to Hank (unit of measure) because it doesn't just apply to the textile industry. CMtemCA ( talk) 23:52, 27 June 2020 (UTC) CMtemCA ( talk) 23:52, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
[[ ]]
on Hank (textiles), it creates a clickable link to article. Well, if you want to change the title, then there is a feature called Page move. If you are using a desktop view, open the article and at the top near the Read, Edit, View History button, there is More button click on that. And click Move after that replace the name and write the reason also there in Change summary. (For more see
WP:Move and I also suggest you to read
Help:Rename). —

00:22, 28 June 2020 (UTC)Thank you for helping with my first edit. I have changed Hank (textile) to Hank (unit of measure). I also fixed the Hank-disambiguation page. I would now like to know whether I need to add a reference to support the statement at the end of the article about the use of the word hank in the meat industry, or if it is sufficient that a reference appears in the linked article Sausage_casing.

Hello!
So I decided to spend sometime and work on my userpage, but I keep seeing a really annoying broken template that says [[Category:Wikipedians in {{{location}}}]]. I can't seem to find where this is coming from and it's really messing it up. (I was thinking about trying to get into the User Page Hall of Fame which is why I have been doing loads of UPG edits...)
Do you know why this could be? Regards, Giraffer ( munch) 22:00, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello,
I recently created an article ( West Tennessee Historical Society). It was soon assigned the issue of relying to much on primary sources, with the instruction to add secondary and tertiary sources. After reading into how to resolve the issue, I took a stab at taking care of the issue myself, adding some new sources to the article's History section, but I'm uncertain where to go from here. Can anyone provide tips on how to address this issue? Thanks in advance. TazmilyKoala ( talk) 01:04, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them.There should be at least three sources of quality and depth comparable to the Tennessee Encyclopedia piece, and the majority of statements in the article should be supportable by independent sources.

Hi,
I'm volunteering for a wiki project to increase pages about indian women scientists. I created a page: /info/en/?search=Jyotsna_Dhawan
but it has two main issues: 1. Formatting as per WP:MOS - could you please point out some of the larger formatting flaws so that I can correct them? 2. Additional or more specific categories - I added 5 new categories to this page but it's still flagged as needing more categories. How many categories do I have to add to get rid of that tag?

Hi
A few weeks ago I made a wikipedia page for a band I like. Everything was approved, only my username misled that I have connections with the band. I thought when I use the bandname as my username it is easy to remember. That's all! Now the article is not online. The told me I have to change my username and I have to do a request. But I don't see where I can do that request. Can somebody please help me with the new username? Or is it really necessary to change my username?
PS: it's about the article "Munatix"
Thank you very much for your help

Hi, Calliopejen1 reviewed my article and it was rejected. I’m totally new at this and thought this might be a good article to learn with.

There’s a lot more online references about this place and the founder on other reputable websites if it needs more, but I did spend quite some time on this and I’d like to figure out how to do this properly: /info/en/?search=User_talk:Bcr8v

Am I right there is no practical solution for repeated WP:PERSONALATTACKS? The policy says "Repeated or egregious personal attacks may lead to sanctions..." But WP:Third opinion is limited to a situation involving only 2 editors. WP:Dispute resolution noticeboard is only for content, not user actions. WP:ANI advice says "Don't. Just... don't. Taking a dispute to ANI is like going to war. War has no victors, only survivors," and it links to WP:Let it go which says "all it really does is make other Wikipedians mad and maybe even leave Wikipedia altogether."
On the other hand leaving personal attacks in place can also make people leave Wikipedia.
In Talk:The 1619 Project I saw a novice editor's work described as "crock of BS" and "drive-by editors dumping..." I thought the words were derogatory and would make people less willing to resolve disagreements in the talk page, myself included. So in accordance with WP:PERSONALATTACKS "Derogatory comments about other editors may be removed by any editor." I replaced those words with asterisks and added an explanation. The commenter repeated the words and accused me of pretence ("clutched their pearls").
Seeing the advice in WP:DR#Resolving user conduct disputes, I slept on it, then asked for explanation on the commenter's talk page, and got a repeat that the original novice editor's effort to discuss bias was a "crock of bullshit," and it was OK to have told an earlier blocked editor to "fuck off", because the blocked editor was so bad. I'm sure the blocked editor was bad. Many would agree that writing from 25 years ago is not relevant enough to include, but calling it BS closes off discussion. Leaving BS, drive-by editor, and accusations of pretence at Talk:The 1619 Project chills discussion in what is already a controversial page. The commenter then went back to the article Talk page to "wonder" if another editor was pretending.)
I see in WP:ANI#Breach of Wikipedia:Etiquette by User:Beyond My Ken a suggestion that 3-day old issues are not appropriate, despite the WP:DISENGAGE advice to take a break and sleep on it. The issue there was an accusation of pretence, without the BS. And I see that 3 administrators were OK with "fuck off", so I don't see much promise in addressing "BS."

Just finished Watchmen (very striking, very grim), and read Moore and Gibbons’s notes at the back. The article quotes Moore as saying that he strove to present four or five “radically opposing ways” of perceiving the world; in the character notes Moore and Gibbons nicely summarise each one. Doctor Manhattan “sees world as sub-atomic system”, Veidt “sees world as organism with him at centre”, and so forth. I think this would be of value to readers (possibly through a brief quote box below each character’s heading), but I am not quite sure how to cite an omnibus of separately published comics which was then expanded to include the artist’s notes.

data-sort-type="number" |
in column headers for number columns, and class="sortbottom"
in rows which should always sort at the bottom. I did that in
[3]. See more at
Help:Sorting. You can center every cell in a table with style="text-align: center;"
in the table start like at
Help:Table#Cells spanning multiple rows or columns. But then you have to add other alignment to every cell which shouldn't be centered. There is no command to align every cell in a column.

We know that there are a large number of different welcome messages that an editor can provide for a new editor, some of which have to do with editors who have made various problem edits. However, is there a welcome message that can be provided to an editor whose only edits have been to submit a draft that is not in English? Based on the name of the draft and on a few links in the draft, which are places in Albania, I am guessing that the draft is in the Albanian language, which I believe is an Indo-European language that is not closely related to any other Indo-European language.

Hi, Im new trying to contribute to Wikipedia, and realizing I have SO MUCH to learn and it's overwhelming. At the bottom of the sandbox are these three options: "Publish Page" "Show Preview" and "Show Changes" (and Cancel)
(which also seem to be the options at the bottom of a real draft not in a userspace sandbox??)
My question is what happens when you choose the different options. I accidently published a draft prematurely just trying to save a draft to continue to work on. I do not want to make that mistake, but would like to learn how to navigate a draft of an article safely instead of in Word on my computer.
If I choose "Show Changes" will that save the changes, yet NOT publish it? Because I know it is not ready and do not want it to get shot down while its in process.

Hello everyone!
I'm looking for someone to write an article for the company I work for, Wejo, who partner with automotive manufacturers to organise and enhance streams of authentic connected vehicle data unlocking its value for drivers, public and private sector organisations.
I'm unable to write the article myself due to conflict of interest, but I have submitted a request with a description and included multiple independent, reliable sources. Here is the link:
Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Applied_arts_and_sciences#Vehicle/automotive_technology
I've also posted a request on the talk pages of WikiProjects related to the topic (Automotive, Technology and Transport).
Firstly, I wanted to check if I have followed the process correctly? Also, is someone able to provide me with an idea of how long this process can take please?
Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. Wejoltd. ( talk) 08:34, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
Again, your working for wejo does not preclude you creating an article. See User:Nerilda Meda for an example of how to declare paid. You can click on Edit at the top of that page, copy the content, paste it to your (new) User page, change the company name to your company name, then click on Publish changes at the bottom. In answer to one of your original question, once you have created a draft and submitted it to AfC, typically days to weeks before it is reviewed, but can be months (there is a huge backlog, and it is not a queue). David notMD ( talk) 13:36, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
organise and enhance streams of authentic connected vehicle data unlocking its value for drivers, public and private sector organisationsare pretty clearly marketing-speak), citing sources properly, finding those reliable and independent sources, etc. This is intentional, again because of WP:NOTPROMO – it's just not what Wikipedia is about. It's much better if one of our thousands of experienced editors and article authors someday reads a magazine or newspaper article about a company or its products, says to themself "I've been hearing a lot about these guys", sees there is no Wikipedia article for it, and decides to invest the time and energy to produce one, free of COI entanglements and bias. That's the ideal. —[ AlanM1 ( talk)]— 16:45, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Dear my fellow Wikipedians, I thank you all sincerely for reviewing my draft.... I am putting forward the following arguments / clarifications for your suggestions.
1. The draft is at
User:Anupamdutta73/List Dist India 2020
2. Bolding issue - I have done the corrections.
3. India is a country with 36 divisions (28 States & 8 Union Territories) as of now. They are further divided into 739 districts..., The article
List of Districts of India covers the topic quite well, covering State/ Union Territories wise.
My article is placing them together, so can be sorted for rankings. This will be put as a separate article, but linked with the above article.
4. Now there are 2,220 cells with numbers (3 columns for 739 districts + 1 row for summation). Add to this, Sl no. & Dist. Sl. No. - 1,478 columns.... Total columns with numbers come to 3,698.. So I have not formatted them.
Similarly, there is no link to anywhere, as I want to keep the table simple..
Waiting for your valuable feedbacks. Cheers

My goal here is to improve so any specific or general advice would be appreciated. As I'm a fairly new wikipedian I decided that instead of making some changes to the Larry Nassar and related articles I would make a suggestion in the talk pages. This seemed like the best course of action as I hoped somebody could guide me on how best to include this new content. I've only ever really stuck to editing existing content and I've never added content or made moderate changes to articles before. Is this the right thing to do or am I just lacking in confidence? On the talk pages Talk:Larry Nassar, Talk:Athlete A, Talk:USA Gymnastics sex abuse scandal I've made multiple suggestions which reference one another and I was unsure how to avoid duplicating the comments. I couldn't find any guidance on cross-referencing talk page discussion. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks! Jclaxp talk 12:44, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

In my head it felt like I was looking for a way to highlight/comment like I would personally when I've printed off something to read and understand like a research paper. I might write "Needs rewording". Sometimes when I'm just reading on Wikipedia I'll see issues I just want to flag even though I don't have time to fix them at that moment or even make progress on how to fix them.

I have noticed the United Macedonian Diaspora article has been deleted once already and is now pending 2nd nomination for deletion due to apparently not having enough reliable sources. I decided to dig further for sources showing this is a legitimate organization. I made changes to the article and cited numerous books, journals, and reports, including a report by the World Bank, and books/journal publications available on Academia.edu and ProQuest. There seem to be a lot of sources in Greek language books and journals, for which I used Google translate to assist in providing as accurate a translation as possible. This organization is not lacking in reliable sources by any means. All the reliable sources I cited in the article were found in easy Google searches using "United Macedonian Diaspora" academia.edu in the search engine. There are more, which can help confirm their legitimacy.
Did I do a good job in adding reliable sources so that the article is not permanently deleted? Macedonia1913 ( talk) 02:16, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
Hello. I am sure it is an unusual occurrence to see someone who has been on Wikipedia for 6 years, here. However, I am going to ask a question I should have asked as a new user. In the grand scheme of things, I do not feel integrated into the community. When I look at the pop music sphere of Wikipedia, the editors around the early 2010s seem to have gotten along and been friendly with each other. But I recently realized that despite my big tenure, I have no friends on Wikipedia. There aren't five people on here I can approach to leave some comments at a lousy FAC. So I guess the main question is, as someone only majorly interested in modern pop music, how am I supposed to find likeminded editors and not feel so alone on here? Is the problem my narcissistic approach? What would be advice you would give to me. Or is my dilemma just a real-life problem I am projecting on Wikipedia? Would be glad to see someone else's take on this. Thanks. N Ø 12:51, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello I have invented a new type of wind turbine that you hang instead of mount atop a tower. Data suggests that it is making electric power at a very low cost because you do not need to own the land beneath it or construct a tower. A tower is over 90% of the cost and weight of a wind turbine. The HWT can be put up and taken down quickly, it can be made using alternators and blades made by existing windmill companies. It can be hung up on existing infrastructure so no new land is required to put them anywhere there is wind. We have website https://www.revoltwind.com
I am only the inventor and as such my words should be taken with a grain of salt. I believe it is making electric power at a fraction of the cost of any known technology. I do not wish to make this claim until it has been verified by others. But I know that the design works and survives storm force winds. Power measurements verify that it produces power in amounts predicted. And anyone can own one because in a small size there is no permit required by local building code authorities. The price is so low that it is affordable to almost anyone. Larger sized units are on the drawing board. I believe it can be used to build the world's largest wind turbine because blade length is limited by tower height. Without the need for a tower it could have longer blades. And you can hang a wind turbine much higher than a tower can reach. Beneath a blimp for example. Or on high rise buildings and off cliffs and rock walls. Other hanging designs rely on vertical axis designs. Vertical axis has many issues due to large cantilever loads on blades and half the rotor must spin upwind robbing the downwind side of power.
This is my first time making a post. A friend asked me to look at getting the invention on here. I am a one man company at this point. No sales revenue...yet. I believe the HWT will allow everyone on planet earth to own their own wind powered electric generator in some size. Whether 6 inch blades or 60 ft blades. The economics and convenience are simply too compelling to ignore given the global warming threat and the need for electric power in nations that have no oil. Hanging Wind Turbine (HWT)

There is a dispute and it seems all the recourses I am aware of, don't help. The dispute was at the ANI where an editor was blocked after the discussion, then at the blocking Sysops talk page, and at the DRN, and all instances, at least as for now, refuse to make any comment to the content of the dispute. EdJohnston made one for edit warring, but without checking the content of the dispute. The content is still disputed as the article includes a quote that the Kurds should have returned Tell Abyad to the Raqqa Governorate at the time ruled by ISIS, then that they renamed Tell Abyad to Gire Spi instead of just also allowing other languages instead of only the arabic name and also that they imposed a Latin script name instead of one an Arabic script. Latin script is present all over Syria. The editor reverts me if I remove such a phrase and the DRN refuses to comment for 6 days. Where else should I go? The dispute was and is really vivid.

I am wondering if it would be OK to cite one or more of those product pages as a reference for the DVD? Or would the fact that these are commercial pages - whose goal is to promote the product - rule that out? Thanks in advance. -- Mike Marchmont ( talk) 16:12, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
@ Calliopejen1: and @ ColinFine:, thank you both for your replies. I'll take your good advice and skip the mention of the DVD. It's not really central to the article. -- Mike Marchmont ( talk) 07:52, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
My question concerns the article titled "Libby Prison Escape",[ Prison Escape] a notorious prison escape by Union officers from a Confederate Prison in Richmond Virginia during the Civil War. The Wikipedia version gives credit for the planning and execution of the escape to a Major Hamilton and Col. Rose. The primary reference seems to be an account of the escape authored by Hamilton [1]
In doing genealogy research I was reading "History of the Indiana Fifty-first Regiment" [2]. The account the escape from Libby Prison given by this source attributes the leadership to Col. A. Streight of the Indiana 51st. While the essential details of the prison break, which I presume where published soon after the actual prison break are the same. There are some details following the break-out that are different from the present Wikipedia article.
My Question: Is this issue something that the editors of Wikipedia would pursue and if so in what fashion? Please advise me. I am willing to work to add details from the book that I have. However, my interest is rather focused on this issue rather than a general desire to understand the inner workings of Wikipedia.

03:11, 2 July 2020 (UTC)Hello again too!
Never mind anymore. I worked the section out. It may not have been a malfunction. It is not needed, but I would just like to know if there is any template fro this transclusion, so in the future, I may avoid this malfunction - if it is one. Also - may I know if there is any template for deletion, because the article in question (a guide to deletion) merely explained the use of deletion.
Thanks!

@ PrimeHunter:You see... I was trying to learn how to transclude, so I just used an already transcluded section as an example. This example had some already placed templates, which mucked my own version of 'copied' transclusion up. I have fixed that now, not to worry!

I have been nominating a lot lately and I am becoming more and more aware of the process of the elimination. I can tell that it relies a lot of the personal believing of the contributors... too much. I have seen article being kept because of major "keep" vote with comments like: "He seems notable in his field." with no further explanations, "likely interviews and articles exist but many publications of his time would be off-line." and similar. this one specific article is the bio of Zak Spears where the sources are: an interview (primary source), one 5 line long bio and IMDb and AFDb both considered unreliable here: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Pornography#Industry/trade_sources.
I don't care about that specific article but the fact that it has resulted into a keep it makes me understand that first actually AFD is a vote process even though after the guidelines it shouldn't be and second that the process relies too much on what is are personal perception of the people involved into the discussion. I think we should make it more clear, especially for the bio, that no article can be kept if they are not properly sourced and if the sources do not prove notability. -- AlejandroLeloirRey ( talk) 13:48, 3 July 2020 (UTC) AlejandroLeloirRey ( talk) 13:48, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
This article Draft:Horace Edward Dobbs was rejected on notability grounds. I am convinced that the subject is notable, but probably omitted something vital while drafting it. Please I would welcome suggestions that would help in its improvement. There are 40 resources cited in the article, apart from the notes, and some of them are from the BBC (7), New York Times, The Independent, NASA, and other reliable sources. So, definitely, there must be something that I missed, which resulted in it being declined on notability grounds.

Hi My Draft:Frogmorton_(folk_group) article has been turned down through lack of “published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject”. The article in question is about an important British folk rock band in the 70s.
I have included five printed reference-sources: the first, “The Great Folk Discography. Volume 1. Pioneers and Early Legends by Martin C Strong” contains a comparatively substantial entry referring to the band. However the book is in hardback only & doesn’t exist in its entirety on the web. The great folk Discography volume 1 'Pioneers and Early legends.'
The other sources are front-page Melody Maker articles in the Folk section of the newspaper between 1972 & 1976. Having contacted the ex-editor I have been informed these were never digitised and old issues remain still bound-in-string in the basement of their offices! However, I have scanned copies of those articles which could be put on line. Melody Maker
What can I do about having these important & reliable references in a clickable format to allow the article to be accepted by Wikipedia? Many thanks Flatback ( talk) 14:29, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I spent some hours tonight reading your sections on public schools in the United States with specific attention to literacy within the adult population, followed by a focus upon political dimensions arising from federal government mandates to admit African American students to all white public schools in the 1960's. It seems to me that a correlation analysis between the temporal advancement of changes both political and educational has promise pertaining to advancing our understanding of how Libertarian political agendas were won. I likely could actually do the correlation analysis but mathematics is not one of my strong suits. Someone else would do it far better than I. I am mightily impressed by the coverage of both of these areas in Wikipedia, indeed, I find the work done in parts brilliant. I would be honored to attempt to contribute something else. That is, my own area of expertise is logic and attachment. So I am willing to attempt to write something about both logic and attachment that brings them together in a novel manner, and leave it up to you to decide to use or not. I propose to examine your coverage of the theorem of undecidability, published in 1930 by Kurt Godel. I doubt it is up to speed since the Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy gets it wrong. They call it the incompleteness theorem. Folks, the natural numbers are incomplete. This is hardly an important contribution. However, the contribution Godel made was a proof that any system rich enough to generate an arithmetic is undecidable. That is a contribution of such magnitude that logicians today are in denial of it . Once the theorem is closely examined, then we have a hornets nest of stinging problems to address. There are propositions we readily formulate that cannot be determined to be true and that cannot be determined to be false WITHIN THE SYSTEM that constructs the propositions, or call them 'sentences', as English is one of countless examples of logical systems we tend to think of as too loose to be logics; but that is not the case at all. So, how is it that we, human beings, can construct meaning that is sufficiently reliable to conduct the basic business of daily life? The answer to this question is: attachment , a psychological construct formulated during WWII. My doctoral dissertation was on attachment in relation to treatment outcomes in my field of psychotherapy. The integration of logic and attachment is my life mission. I was utterly shocked upon learning no one had done it as yet. But along the way it made more sense to me. Nonetheless,this very basic and important feature of living creatures with brains of a certain minimal level of development unavoidably do integrate logic and attachment. The integration gives rise to the mind (I tend to use the term 'the human mind' because people have this tendency to think other sentient creatures are beneath human beings. A very sad state of affairs.) This work I do may certainly by applied helpfully to both attachment and logic sections of Wikipedia. In addition, doing this may well facilitate my formulation of the conceptual structures underpinning our knowledge of both logic and attachment for the work I am doing. So I am asking a question and willing to offer some editorial comments in exchanges for an answer. I hope this may seem appealing to some of you.

Generally, this policy does not apply to material concerning people who are confirmed dead by reliable sources. The only exception would be for people who have recently died, in which case the policy can extend for an indeterminate period beyond the date of death—six months, one year, two years at the outside. Such extensions would apply particularly to contentious or questionable material about the dead that has implications for their living relatives and friends, such as in the case of a possible suicide or a particularly gruesome crime.
I am not sure he is actually dead due to lack of good sources, but he probably is dead. I just wanted to remove the outdated template. The only source is his own website which could not have been posted by him if he had died. I found one other source, but it was a re report of the original website post. If he had brain cancer for years, this could have affected his opinions re Holocaust Denial. I am looking for more answers. So in one month I can post back and someone will remove the template? I would have preferred an article an newspaper such as a local Seattle Paper or an Magazine that covers Art News to make the article look more polished. Ty78ejui ( talk) 18:16, 4 July 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requested articles/Arts and entertainment/Visual arts but I'm not sure what steps to take from here. If the proposed topic is about a notable art gallery, do I add the name and sources via Edit Source in alphabetical order and then {{request edit}}? Thank you!

To create an article, follow these steps:
I run a 501(c)(3) and I'd like to start a Wikipedia page on it. My org has third party references, a legit website, legit relationships with stakeholders. But I'm just not sure if *I* as the President can make the page without a conflict of interest... at the same time, I'm not sure who would want to create a Wikipedia page about a nonprofit OTHER THAN those involved with it. I also certainly don't want to do anything improper, especially now that I'm familiar with the concept of "advocacy" on Wikipedia.

Firstly thank you for leaving a msg in my Talkspace Manith Dulnim I would like to request from you to make an article, a biography about which I was creating and was rejected. It's about me cuz I'm a famous and a public figure in Sri Lanka and a musician. Always many people are texting and calling me asking about my details, life and many more matters all the time and they also asked why my details are not in Wikipedia. so for the wellbeing and for the sake of the community, people and all the fans and other interested people, I would like to request you for making the Wikipedia article about myself. If you are eligible and need the price referring for making the article...pls contact me via wiki or any other social media network (Redacted) Manith Dulnim ( talk) 13:47, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

I'm relatively new to wikipedia editing and I noticed something strange when reading the Great Chicago Fire article. Throughout the article citation #1 is used multiple times and often has a colon then a number after the citation (e.g. [1]:148). Since the citation is a book I'm assuming the number is the page the citation is referencing. Is this the right way to do it? I know the citation template ( Template:Cite book) for books has a thing for page numbers but is this method valid? I doubt it since i've never seen it done like this but I just wanted to double check since I'm a rookie. Thanks! MaxGame5o ( talk) 00:47, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

My draft article - Draft:Moaning_(band) was declined. I have left the following message on the talk page of the article (the reviewer directed me to leave a message on the talk page of the draft article and referred me to the Teahouse in the event I wanted to contest a rejection):
I do not understand why you declined my submission. As far as I can see, it definitely meets Criterion 1 of musical notability - sources include a well-known newspaper and arguably one of national record (the Los Angeles Times) and well-known sources that meet the reliability criteria as specified in the "Wikipedia: Reliable sources" page. Albeit most of the sources could be considered primary but they satisfy the criteria laid out in the aforementioned page for primary sources. Please let me know either how exactly you disagree with the assertion I've just put forth or let me know how to get to the point of this article's publication on Wikipedia at your earliest convenience. Thank you.
Please let me know how exactly I can go about rectifying whatever deficiencies exist in the draft article. I am convinced the subject of the article deserves to have an article.

Dear TeaHouse,
Currently if you search for West London College on google it places the actual Wikipaedia page beneath the website search result and confuses another West London College on the right hand side of the web page. Google has mixed up the two colleges so that the logo of the current one and its website address is mixed in with the Wikipaedia link for the old one that no longer exists.
The correct website is wlc.ac.uk and the college is called West London College (formerly known as Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College) The correct Wikipaedia page is: /info/en/?search=Ealing,_Hammersmith_and_West_London_College However this has the old name of Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College, which we changed a couple of years ago to West London College.
The incorrect Wkipaedia page coming up is: /info/en/?search=West_London_College This is a completely unrelated organisation, which just happens to have the same name.
If I edit the name on our wikipaedia page to West London College, will this solve the problem?
I look forward to hearing from you. 2A00:23C7:6B8A:4800:C159:EA59:9520:2598 ( talk) 08:15, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi guys
I post 2 types of photos to wikicommons photos using the app. First is photos I take of places I like and think they may be useful to others. Second nearby places that I am NOT interested in but wiki says it needs a photo.
In this latter case the blue upside down teardrop (map marker) turns to green and only shows if the "needs photo" box is unchecked. It has been very rewarding to do this. But suddenly it has stopped working. My most recent photos (since about the beginning of June) do not alter the "needs photo" status and the teardrop remains blue.
I like doing these photos, a new hobby, but not so much that I have to take time and in some cases petrol money to photograph a milepost or a bridge for no real reason other than wiki wants one.
Example : https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Milepost_on_A493.jpg#mw-jump-to-license
Can anyone explain what may have happened. Should I stop doing these types of photos. Should I just go back to posting photos that are useful but not linked to a specific wiki requirement.
Many thanks Peter Peter Glyn ( talk) 08:24, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Is the studio parameter of the album's infobox Wikipedia definition only for recording studios where a record was recorded, and not where it was overdubbed and/or mixed? "If the album was recorded in a recording studio, enter the name and location." (Template:Infobox album#studio). It does not say to include anything other than a studio in which the album was recorded. The Wikipdia page Audio mixing (recorded music) states "Before the introduction of multitrack recording, all sounds and effects that were to be part of a record were mixed at one time during a live performance. If the recorded mix wasn't satisfactory, or if one musician made a mistake, the selection had to be performed over until the desired balance and performance was obtained. With the introduction of multi-track recording, the production of a modern recording changed into one that generally involves three stages: recording, overdubbing, and mixing." Since the 1970's, record albums have been recorded in three stages: recording, overdubbing, and mixing. It was common practice to record an album in one studio, overdub in another studio and mixed in another. I would argue for the listing of every recording studio that was used in the making of the song or album. Please weigh in here.

Wikipedia requires you to cite a reliable source when you add information.Direct quotes must always be cited inline, as must negative or controversial information about a living person. Any content that is highly unusual, controversial, or has been or is likely to be challenged, should be cited to a reliable source. Uncontroversial facts need not be cited unless they are challenged, although adding such cites is a good idea even when not strictly required. See you don't need to cit4e that the sky is blue.

Do not base an entire article on primary sources, and be cautious about basing large passages on them.There should be at least three sources of quality and depth comparable to the Tennessee Encyclopedia piece, and the majority of statements in the article should be supportable by independent sources.

Hi, Calliopejen1 reviewed my article and it was rejected. I’m totally new at this and thought this might be a good article to learn with. I learned about this place from another article about the founder, and I used the same references form the SFGate that the other article used so I thought that was sufficient. There’s a lot more online references about this place and the founder on other reputable websites if it needs more, but I did spend quite some time on this and I’d like to figure out how to do this properly: /info/en/?search=User_talk:Bcr8v

How do i protect a page? Chris Ducker ( talk) 20:41, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
Am I right there is no practical solution for repeated WP:PERSONALATTACKS? The policy says "Repeated or egregious personal attacks may lead to sanctions..." But WP:Third opinion is limited to a situation involving only 2 editors. WP:Dispute resolution noticeboard is only for content, not user actions. WP:ANI advice says "Don't. Just... don't. Taking a dispute to ANI is like going to war. War has no victors, only survivors," and it links to WP:Let it go which says "all it really does is make other Wikipedians mad and maybe even leave Wikipedia altogether."
On the other hand leaving personal attacks in place can also make people leave Wikipedia.
In Talk:The 1619 Project I saw a novice editor's work described as "crock of BS" and "drive-by editors dumping..." I thought the words were derogatory and would make people less willing to resolve disagreements in the talk page, myself included. So in accordance with WP:PERSONALATTACKS "Derogatory comments about other editors may be removed by any editor." I replaced those words with asterisks and added an explanation. The commenter repeated the words and accused me of pretence ("clutched their pearls").
Seeing the advice in WP:DR#Resolving user conduct disputes, I slept on it, then asked for explanation on the commenter's talk page, and got a repeat that the original novice editor's effort to discuss bias was a "crock of bullshit," and it was OK to have told an earlier blocked editor to "fuck off", because the blocked editor was so bad. I'm sure the blocked editor was bad. Many would agree that writing from 25 years ago is not relevant enough to include, but calling it BS closes off discussion. Leaving BS, drive-by editor, and accusations of pretence at Talk:The 1619 Project chills discussion in what is already a controversial page. The commenter then went back to the article Talk page to "wonder" if another editor was pretending.)
I see in WP:ANI#Breach of Wikipedia:Etiquette by User:Beyond My Ken a suggestion that 3-day old issues are not appropriate, despite the WP:DISENGAGE advice to take a break and sleep on it. The issue there was an accusation of pretence, without the BS. And I see that 3 administrators were OK with "fuck off", so I don't see much promise in addressing "BS."

Just finished Watchmen (very striking, very grim), and read Moore and Gibbons’s notes at the back. The article quotes Moore as saying that he strove to present four or five “radically opposing ways” of perceiving the world; in the character notes Moore and Gibbons nicely summarise each one. Doctor Manhattan “sees world as sub-atomic system”, Veidt “sees world as organism with him at centre”, and so forth. I think this would be of value to readers (possibly through a brief quote box below each character’s heading), but I am not quite sure how to cite an omnibus of separately published comics which was then expanded to include the artist’s notes.

data-sort-type="number" |
in column headers for number columns, and class="sortbottom"
in rows which should always sort at the bottom. I did that in
[3]. See more at
Help:Sorting. You can center every cell in a table with style="text-align: center;"
in the table start like at
Help:Table#Cells spanning multiple rows or columns. But then you have to add other alignment to every cell which shouldn't be centered. There is no command to align every cell in a column.

We know that there are a large number of different welcome messages that an editor can provide for a new editor, some of which have to do with editors who have made various problem edits.

Hi, Im new trying to contribute to Wikipedia, and realizing I have SO MUCH to learn and it's overwhelming. At the bottom of the sandbox are these three options: "Publish Page" "Show Preview" and "Show Changes" (and Cancel)
(which also seem to be the options at the bottom of a real draft not in a userspace sandbox??)
My question is what happens when you choose the different options. I accidently published a draft prematurely just trying to save a draft to continue to work on. I do not want to make that mistake, but would like to learn how to navigate a draft of an article safely instead of in Word on my computer.
If I choose "Show Changes" will that save the changes, yet NOT publish it? Because I know it is not ready and do not want it to get shot down while its in process.

Hello everyone!
I'm looking for someone to write an article for the company I work for, Wejo, who partner with automotive manufacturers to organise and enhance streams of authentic connected vehicle data unlocking its value for drivers, public and private sector organisations.
I'm unable to write the article myself due to conflict of interest, but I have submitted a request with a description and included multiple independent, reliable sources. Here is the link:
Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Applied_arts_and_sciences#Vehicle/automotive_technology
I've also posted a request on the talk pages of WikiProjects related to the topic (Automotive, Technology and Transport).

You can click on Edit at the top of that page, copy the content, paste it to your (new) User page, change the company name to your company name, then click on Publish changes at the bottom.

organise and enhance streams of authentic connected vehicle data unlocking its value for drivers, public and private sector organisationsare pretty clearly marketing-speak), citing sources properly, finding those reliable and independent sources, etc. This is intentional, again because of WP:NOTPROMO – it's just not what Wikipedia is about. It's much better if one of our thousands of experienced editors and article authors someday reads a magazine or newspaper article about a company or its products, says to themself "I've been hearing a lot about these guys", sees there is no Wikipedia article for it, and decides to invest the time and energy to produce one, free of COI entanglements and bias.

Dear my fellow Wikipedians, I thank you all sincerely for reviewing my draft.... I am putting forward the following arguments / clarifications for your suggestions.
1. The draft is at
User:Anupamdutta73/List Dist India 2020
2. Bolding issue - I have done the corrections.
3. India is a country with 36 divisions (28 States & 8 Union Territories) as of now. They are further divided into 739 districts..., The article
List of Districts of India covers the topic quite well, covering State/ Union Territories wise.
My article is placing them together, so can be sorted for rankings. This will be put as a separate article, but linked with the above article.
4. Now there are 2,220 cells with numbers (3 columns for 739 districts + 1 row for summation). Add to this, Sl no. & Dist. Sl. No. - 1,478 columns.... Total columns with numbers come to 3,698.. So I have not formatted them.
Similarly, there is no link to anywhere, as I want to keep the table simple..
Waiting for your valuable feedbacks. Cheers

My goal here is to improve so any specific or general advice would be appreciated. As I'm a fairly new wikipedian I decided that instead of making some changes to the Larry Nassar and related articles I would make a suggestion in the talk pages. This seemed like the best course of action as I hoped somebody could guide me on how best to include this new content. I've only ever really stuck to editing existing content and I've never added content or made moderate changes to articles before. Is this the right thing to do or am I just lacking in confidence? On the talk pages Talk:Larry Nassar, Talk:Athlete A, Talk:USA Gymnastics sex abuse scandal I've made multiple suggestions which reference one another and I was unsure how to avoid duplicating the comments. I couldn't find any guidance on cross-referencing talk page discussion. Is there a better way to do this? Thanks! Jclaxp talk 12:44, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

I have noticed the United Macedonian Diaspora article has been deleted once already and is now pending 2nd nomination for deletion due to apparently not having enough reliable sources. I decided to dig further for sources showing this is a legitimate organization. I made changes to the article and cited numerous books, journals, and reports, including a report by the World Bank, and books/journal publications available on Academia.edu and ProQuest. There seem to be a lot of sources in Greek language books and journals, for which I used Google translate to assist in providing as accurate a translation as possible. This organization is not lacking in reliable sources by any means. All the reliable sources I cited in the article were found in easy Google searches using "United Macedonian Diaspora" academia.edu in the search engine. There are more, which can help confirm their legitimacy.
Did I do a good job in adding reliable sources so that the article is not permanently deleted? Macedonia1913 ( talk) 02:16, 2 July 2020 (UTC)
Hello. I am sure it is an unusual occurrence to see someone who has been on Wikipedia for 6 years, here. However, I am going to ask a question I should have asked as a new user. In the grand scheme of things, I do not feel integrated into the community. When I look at the pop music sphere of Wikipedia, the editors around the early 2010s seem to have gotten along and been friendly with each other. But I recently realized that despite my big tenure, I have no friends on Wikipedia. There aren't five people on here I can approach to leave some comments at a lousy FAC. So I guess the main question is, as someone only majorly interested in modern pop music, how am I supposed to find likeminded editors and not feel so alone on here? Is the problem my narcissistic approach? What would be advice you would give to me. Or is my dilemma just a real-life problem I am projecting on Wikipedia? Would be glad to see someone else's take on this. Thanks. N Ø 12:51, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello I have invented a new type of wind turbine that you hang instead of mount atop a tower. Data suggests that it is making electric power at a very low cost because you do not need to own the land beneath it or construct a tower. A tower is over 90% of the cost and weight of a wind turbine. The HWT can be put up and taken down quickly, it can be made using alternators and blades made by existing windmill companies. It can be hung up on existing infrastructure so no new land is required to put them anywhere there is wind. We have website https://www.revoltwind.com
I am only the inventor and as such my words should be taken with a grain of salt. I believe it is making electric power at a fraction of the cost of any known technology. I do not wish to make this claim until it has been verified by others. But I know that the design works and survives storm force winds. Power measurements verify that it produces power in amounts predicted. And anyone can own one because in a small size there is no permit required by local building code authorities. The price is so low that it is affordable to almost anyone. Larger sized units are on the drawing board. I believe it can be used to build the world's largest wind turbine because blade length is limited by tower height. Without the need for a tower it could have longer blades. And you can hang a wind turbine much higher than a tower can reach. Beneath a blimp for example. Or on high rise buildings and off cliffs and rock walls. Other hanging designs rely on vertical axis designs. Vertical axis has many issues due to large cantilever loads on blades and half the rotor must spin upwind robbing the downwind side of power.
This is my first time making a post. A friend asked me to look at getting the invention on here. I am a one man company at this point. No sales revenue...yet. I believe the HWT will allow everyone on planet earth to own their own wind powered electric generator in some size. Whether 6 inch blades or 60 ft blades. The economics and convenience are simply too compelling to ignore given the global warming threat and the need for electric power in nations that have no oil. Hanging Wind Turbine (HWT)

I have found myself contributing to a number of pages dedicated to cars. I have amassed quite a lot of information on a car designer but found there isn't a page for him. How easy is it to create a Wikipedia page listing information about his life and his work? Adding this information to every car he designed seems a bit long and unnecessary.

There is a dispute and it seems all the recourses I am aware of, don't help. The dispute was at the ANI where an editor was blocked after the discussion, then at the blocking Sysops talk page, and at the DRN, and all instances, at least as for now, refuse to make any comment to the content of the dispute. EdJohnston made one for edit warring, but without checking the content of the dispute. The content is still disputed as the article includes a quote that the Kurds should have returned Tell Abyad to the Raqqa Governorate at the time ruled by ISIS, then that they renamed Tell Abyad to Gire Spi instead of just also allowing other languages instead of only the arabic name and also that they imposed a Latin script name instead of one an Arabic script. Latin script is present all over Syria. The editor reverts me if I remove such a phrase and the DRN refuses to comment for 6 days. Where else should I go? The dispute was and is really vivid.

How did we let over 195K in change happen to an article about Transgender people who have been murdered be undone due to "lack of sources" when each listing include at least 2 sources?

Somehow, when I want to edit my Talk page I can not edit an individual section but can only edit the entire page. Somehow I have managed (more like stumbled on to) shut off individual section editing.
How can I fix my talk page so I can edit just one section rather than the entire page? Is there a switch that is set somewhere or is there some magic markup language that needs to be included?

My question concerns the article titled "Libby Prison Escape",[ Prison Escape] a notorious prison escape by Union officers from a Confederate Prison in Richmond Virginia during the Civil War. The Wikipedia version gives credit for the planning and execution of the escape to a Major Hamilton and Col. Rose. The primary reference seems to be an account of the escape authored by Hamilton [1]
In doing genealogy research I was reading "History of the Indiana Fifty-first Regiment" [2]. The account the escape from Libby Prison given by this source attributes the leadership to Col. A. Streight of the Indiana 51st. While the essential details of the prison break, which I presume where published soon after the actual prison break are the same. There are some details following the break-out that are different from the present Wikipedia article.
My Question: Is this issue something that the editors of Wikipedia would pursue and if so in what fashion? Please advise me. I am willing to work to add details from the book that I have. However, my interest is rather focused on this issue rather than a general desire to understand the inner workings of Wikipedia.

I have been nominating a lot lately and I am becoming more and more aware of the process of the elimination. I can tell that it relies a lot of the personal believing of the contributors... too much. I have seen article being kept because of major "keep" vote with comments like: "He seems notable in his field." with no further explanations, "likely interviews and articles exist but many publications of his time would be off-line." and similar. this one specific article is the bio of Zak Spears where the sources are: an interview (primary source), one 5 line long bio and IMDb and AFDb both considered unreliable here: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Pornography#Industry/trade_sources.
I don't care about that specific article but the fact that it has resulted into a keep it makes me understand that first actually AFD is a vote process even though after the guidelines it shouldn't be and second that the process relies too much on what is are personal perception of the people involved into the discussion. I think we should make it more clear, especially for the bio, that no article can be kept if they are not properly sourced and if the sources do not prove notability. -- AlejandroLeloirRey ( talk) 13:48, 3 July 2020 (UTC) AlejandroLeloirRey ( talk) 13:48, 3 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi My Draft:Frogmorton_(folk_group) article has been turned down through lack of “published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject”. The article in question is about an important British folk rock band in the 70s.
I have included five printed reference-sources: the first, “The Great Folk Discography. Volume 1. Pioneers and Early Legends by Martin C Strong” contains a comparatively substantial entry referring to the band. However the book is in hardback only & doesn’t exist in its entirety on the web. The great folk Discography volume 1 'Pioneers and Early legends.'
The other sources are front-page Melody Maker articles in the Folk section of the newspaper between 1972 & 1976. Having contacted the ex-editor I have been informed these were never digitised and old issues remain still bound-in-string in the basement of their offices! However, I have scanned copies of those articles which could be put on line. Melody Maker

Hi. I added a link to the New York Times Best sellers list as evidence of an edit I made to an article to show that a book had reached no. 5 on the list. However I realise that this page is updated each week and so the link will not provide evidence once that book changes its position on the list.

Hello, I spent some hours tonight reading your sections on public schools in the United States with specific attention to literacy within the adult population, followed by a focus upon political dimensions arising from federal government mandates to admit African American students to all white public schools in the 1960's. It seems to me that a correlation analysis between the temporal advancement of changes both political and educational has promise pertaining to advancing our understanding of how Libertarian political agendas were won. I likely could actually do the correlation analysis but mathematics is not one of my strong suits. Someone else would do it far better than I. I am mightily impressed by the coverage of both of these areas in Wikipedia, indeed, I find the work done in parts brilliant. I would be honored to attempt to contribute something else. That is, my own area of expertise is logic and attachment. So I am willing to attempt to write something about both logic and attachment that brings them together in a novel manner, and leave it up to you to decide to use or not. I propose to examine your coverage of the theorem of undecidability, published in 1930 by Kurt Godel. I doubt it is up to speed since the Stanford encyclopedia of philosophy gets it wrong. They call it the incompleteness theorem. Folks, the natural numbers are incomplete. This is hardly an important contribution. However, the contribution Godel made was a proof that any system rich enough to generate an arithmetic is undecidable. That is a contribution of such magnitude that logicians today are in denial of it . Once the theorem is closely examined, then we have a hornets nest of stinging problems to address. There are propositions we readily formulate that cannot be determined to be true and that cannot be determined to be false WITHIN THE SYSTEM that constructs the propositions, or call them 'sentences', as English is one of countless examples of logical systems we tend to think of as too loose to be logics; but that is not the case at all. So, how is it that we, human beings, can construct meaning that is sufficiently reliable to conduct the basic business of daily life? The answer to this question is: attachment , a psychological construct formulated during WWII. My doctoral dissertation was on attachment in relation to treatment outcomes in my field of psychotherapy. The integration of logic and attachment is my life mission. I was utterly shocked upon learning no one had done it as yet. But along the way it made more sense to me. Nonetheless,this very basic and important feature of living creatures with brains of a certain minimal level of development unavoidably do integrate logic and attachment. The integration gives rise to the mind (I tend to use the term 'the human mind' because people have this tendency to think other sentient creatures are beneath human beings. A very sad state of affairs.) This work I do may certainly by applied helpfully to both attachment and logic sections of Wikipedia. In addition, doing this may well facilitate my formulation of the conceptual structures underpinning our knowledge of both logic and attachment for the work I am doing. So I am asking a question and willing to offer some editorial comments in exchanges for an answer. I hope this may seem appealing to some of you.

Hello Teahouse, I am very pleased with accepted article on Ruth Clayton, but I wish to improve it by adding relevant images that I have now obtained. I have read the appropriate Wikipedia pages, determined that they are non-free images and will need to be be uploaded to English Wikipedia by fulfilling criteria for fair use rather, than using the Wiki Commons route. I have the relevant information to make the case for fair use. However when I launch the File Upload Wizard I am told that I am not able to do so because I am not autoconfirmed. Is it true that I can successfully submit a new entry to Wikipedia but not improve it by adding relevant images? Or am I missing something. I would be very grateful for help and advice.

I'm writing a new article on Song of Dorang-seonbi and Cheongjeong-gaksi (a Korean shamanic narrative) on this sandbox, and it should be done by the day after tomorrow. Unfortunately there are no illustrations whatsoever of this very understudied myth, either historical or modern, despite it being the sort of story where illustrations would be quite helpful for a reader.
Is there a WikiProject or something with illustrators willing to make sketches or digital art for articles?

I edited the article on Stellated octahedrons to add a joke in the "construction" section which detailed very complicated ways to make a stellated octahedron. I thought it'd be funny if instead of one of those convoluted methods, I wrote "Just put two pyramids together smh." But after about 5 seconds, it got undone. I don't have any problems with this edit being repealed because admittedly, I was vandalizing the page, but it does make me wonder; why was someone browsing the article on stellated octahedrons at the exact moment I made that edit, and how did they undo it so fast?

Quick Question: I sometimes see these images [10] "Morgan Fairchild at an event in Dallas in 2006" on BLP WP pages and wonder just how / why they are allowed. Clearly they are uploaded by non-notable contributors who have taken selfies with celebrities at an event and want their photos on WP.

I noticed that he had died and I made a small edit, but then I noticed the large notice of biography's of living persons warning, so I wanted to ask a more advanced editor to remove the notice. /info/en/?search=Charles_Wing_Krafft Ty78ejui ( talk) 17:18, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
Generally, this policy does not apply to material concerning people who are confirmed dead by reliable sources. The only exception would be for people who have recently died, in which case the policy can extend for an indeterminate period beyond the date of death—six months, one year, two years at the outside. Such extensions would apply particularly to contentious or questionable material about the dead that has implications for their living relatives and friends, such as in the case of a possible suicide or a particularly gruesome crime.
I am not sure he is actually dead due to lack of good sources, but he probably is dead. I just wanted to remove the outdated template. The only source is his own website which could not have been posted by him if he had died. I found one other source, but it was a re report of the original website post. If he had brain cancer for years, this could have affected his opinions re Holocaust Denial. I am looking for more answers. So in one month I can post back and someone will remove the template? I would have preferred an article an newspaper such as a local Seattle Paper or an Magazine that covers Art News to make the article look more polished. Ty78ejui ( talk) 18:16, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
I just read the notice in green and I agree its better to leave it up until it can be determined if he really died. I hate hoaxes and con men. Ty78ejui ( talk) 18:18, 4 July 2020 (UTC) So now its been taken off, if he is proved alive it can always be changed back. It will make it better to edit without that huge banner popping up.

I'm relatively new to wikipedia editing and I noticed something strange when reading the Great Chicago Fire article. Throughout the article citation #1 is used multiple times and often has a colon then a number after the citation (e.g. [1]:148). Since the citation is a book I'm assuming the number is the page the citation is referencing. Is this the right way to do it? I know the citation template ( Template:Cite book) for books has a thing for page numbers but is this method valid?

I do not understand why you declined my submission. As far as I can see, it definitely meets Criterion 1 of musical notability - sources include a well-known newspaper and arguably one of national record (the Los Angeles Times) and well-known sources that meet the reliability criteria as specified in the "Wikipedia: Reliable sources" page. Albeit most of the sources could be considered primary but they satisfy the criteria laid out in the aforementioned page for primary sources. Please let me know either how exactly you disagree with the assertion I've just put forth or let me know how to get to the point of this article's publication on Wikipedia at your earliest convenience.

Dear TeaHouse,
Currently if you search for West London College on google it places the actual Wikipaedia page beneath the website search result and confuses another West London College on the right hand side of the web page. Google has mixed up the two colleges so that the logo of the current one and its website address is mixed in with the Wikipaedia link for the old one that no longer exists.
The correct website is wlc.ac.uk and the college is called West London College (formerly known as Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College) The correct Wikipaedia page is: /info/en/?search=Ealing,_Hammersmith_and_West_London_College However this has the old name of Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College, which we changed a couple of years ago to West London College.
The incorrect Wkipaedia page coming up is: /info/en/?search=West_London_College This is a completely unrelated organisation, which just happens to have the same name.
If I edit the name on our wikipaedia page to West London College, will this solve the problem?
I look forward to hearing from you. 2A00:23C7:6B8A:4800:C159:EA59:9520:2598 ( talk) 08:15, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

; maybe you've coordinates in OSGB and want to use those, maybe you want to insert a map into an infobox. The more specific you are, the less time we spend telling you stuff you do already understand, or simply don't need.

Please, can somebody please eliminate misleading information in the entry "Anna Magdalena Bach"? At present unreliable sources are quoted (references 4,5,6). Check the entry Anna Magdalena Bach in the German Wikipedia! I am sorry to say that I didn´t manage the editing properly myself. Yours Magnus Kihlbom Magnuskihl ( talk) 11:25, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
Hi guys
I post 2 types of photos to wikicommons photos using the app. First is photos I take of places I like and think they may be useful to others. Second nearby places that I am NOT interested in but wiki says it needs a photo.
In this latter case the blue upside down teardrop (map marker) turns to green and only shows if the "needs photo" box is unchecked. It has been very rewarding to do this. But suddenly it has stopped working. My most recent photos (since about the beginning of June) do not alter the "needs photo" status and the teardrop remains blue.
I like doing these photos, a new hobby, but not so much that I have to take time and in some cases petrol money to photograph a milepost or a bridge for no real reason other than wiki wants one.
Example : https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Milepost_on_A493.jpg#mw-jump-to-license
Can anyone explain what may have happened. Should I stop doing these types of photos. Should I just go back to posting photos that are useful but not linked to a specific wiki requirement.
Many thanks Peter Peter Glyn ( talk) 08:24, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello I want to request an edit to Unchain My Heart (album) page.
I noticed on that page that under == Production == it states
Mixed by Chris Lord-Alge at Unique Recording (New York, NY).
I would like to edit it to read
Mixed by Chris Lord-Alge at Unique Recording Studios(New York, NY).

Hello, - ColinFine Thank for the quick reply. The example I gave above has been deemed as a COI by others. Please see my talk page. I would like to request that another user make the edit. Also It was mentioned that could make a request on the talk page for the article, but since I am a novice wanted to get the correct procedure. When I go to the Unchain My Heart (album) page, I can't seen to find how to do the request? Joanne.nathan ( talk) 22:57, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Is the studio parameter of the album's infobox Wikipedia definition only for recording studios where a record was recorded, and not where it was overdubbed and/or mixed? "If the album was recorded in a recording studio, enter the name and location." (Template:Infobox album#studio). It does not say to include anything other than a studio in which the album was recorded. The Wikipdia page Audio mixing (recorded music) states "Before the introduction of multitrack recording, all sounds and effects that were to be part of a record were mixed at one time during a live performance. If the recorded mix wasn't satisfactory, or if one musician made a mistake, the selection had to be performed over until the desired balance and performance was obtained. With the introduction of multi-track recording, the production of a modern recording changed into one that generally involves three stages: recording, overdubbing, and mixing." Since the 1970's, record albums have been recorded in three stages: recording, overdubbing, and mixing. It was common practice to record an album in one studio, overdub in another studio and mixed in another. I would argue for the listing of every recording studio that was used in the making of the song or album. Please weigh in here.

Hello, I just recently made an edit to the bad news bears. It it ok to not cite a reliable source? If not, then where do you cite it? Thanks! :-) ILoveCocomelon ( talk) 12:50, 6 July 2020 (UTC) ILoveCocomelon ( talk) 12:50, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
Wikipedia requires you to cite a reliable source when you add information.Direct quotes must always be cited inline, as must negative or controversial information about a living person. Any content that is highly unusual, controversial, or has been or is likely to be challenged, should be cited to a reliable source. Uncontroversial facts need not be cited unless they are challenged, although adding such cites is a good idea even when not strictly required. See you don't need to cit4e that the sky is blue.

My references are from established newspapers (list given below). I have seen many wiki articles are using inquirer.com and phillytrib.com in their references.
Can you please guide me to understand the points of improvement. I am open to add/remove/modify those contents which are not meeting the wiki standards.
