Hello, I'm not very good at editing articles and stuff. Does anyone have any advice about the conditions where a merge request would be advisable? I very recently (today) submitted a request to merge [[ Adapter (computing) with Adapter, but I am not sure if this is something that should be done or whatever. Yeah, does anyone have any helps or advices? Vedvod ( talk) 03:56, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

WP:MERGE, good job! It would help to give a little more reasoning as to why the two pages should be merged other than it "seems unnecessary", but if there's consensus to merge or no opposition after a while,
be bold and perform the merge (steps are outlined at

I want to edit a page called Banafar — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2409:4043:2099:1AC9:0:0:2AAA:28AC ( talk) 11:52, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
Sometimes during edit disputes users make unreasonable requests for sourcing and I don't know how to best handle it. Below are examples.
Sample 1: There is a story inside a textbook. Many reliable sources confirm this story is in the textbook, it is not disputed. So I post a recent edition of the textbook in the article. A user complains there is no source that confirms the story exists in that particular edition. I am unable to find a source to confirm edition information, only sources say it is in the book generally. There is no reason given for the doubt, just a made-up theory it is not in every edition.
Sample 2: There is a boat called "Goat" owned by Mr. Hinderson of NY registered in 1855, according to state records and linked in the article about Mr. Hinderson. Other sources confirm Mr. Hinderson did own a boat of this name, it is not disputed. A user complains how do we know there is not a second Mr. Hinderson from NY with a boat called "Goat" registered in 1855? It might not be the same Hinderson, there could be two. They request a source confirming this is the person of our article, without providing evidence of another Mr. Hinderson with a boat named "Goat".
These 'disputes' hinge on WP:V which states "any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation that directly supports the material." My response has been their requests are unreasonable and not credible and to basically WP:IAR. Their response is V is policy and they can dispute anything at any time. It is sort of wikilawyering, but I would like some guidance on how to deal with non-credible sourcing requests. -- Green C 04:39, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Could anybody help me and check my article about the Latvian band Very Cool People /info/en/?search=Draft:Very_Cool_People and give me comment on improvement. Why isn't the musical notability criteria is satisfied? I guess I have met all the criteria. Help me, please! Thank you in advance.
Aiga Aiga Liva ( talk) 09:26, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
Aiga Liva ( talk) Hey! Thank you for the question, in my opinion, they meet 5 notable criteria:
4.Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.[note 4] - They are one of the most active Latvian concert bands also outside the country. They have represented Latvia in several international important events that I have mentioned also in the article
6.Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles.[note 5] This should be adapted appropriately for the musical genre; for example, having performed two lead roles at major opera houses. Note that this criterion needs to be interpreted with caution, as there have been instances where this criterion was cited in a circular manner to create a self-fulfilling notability loop (e.g. musicians who were "notable" only for having been in two bands, of which one or both were "notable" only because those musicians had been in them.)
7. Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.
11. Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.
12. Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or television network. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aiga Liva ( talk • contribs) 06:58, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

enHi everyone,
I'm relatively new to wikipedia editing and I wrote an article on the Human Journey Website but it got rejected. https://humanjourney.us/
The problem is that I need to find better sources aparently. Here is my draft. /info/en/?search=Draft:The_Human_Journey
Now, just to be clear, I have written several scientific papers in international journals and I know how citing sources is usually done in the academic world, but here I feel things are a bit different.
I have a list of websites that link back to the Human Journey website but the best thing I could see as a source so far was a mention in a magazine's blog. So I have several ideas, please let me know if these make sense. I could include more information about the authors of the website, who include authors with books and articles I could cite. Or I could look for web statistics and include that information about the website maybe? If not, I guess a third route would be getting an article about the website published by some source that is considered reliable and then citing that in the wikipedia article?
Another doubt I have is about the content, so say if I want to summarize the content of the website, do I really need an external citation for that? For example, if one of the guiding ideas of the website is: "Discover who we are, how we evolved, what we might become", and it has four main sections with different names which I explain, and this is taken literaly from the website itself, do I need a citation to state something which is self-evident like that? It seems to me sort of like how articles about movies summarize the plot without needing to include citations for that.
Any suggestions are welcome!

Hi Jayron32 and thanks for answering. I'm not sure if this is how I'm supposed to reply here. I hope you don't mind me following up on your answer, and I do realize you are simply citing wikipedia's rules and trying to explain the basic idea. I understand the ideal, but it seems to me like a lot of wikipedia pages about media and publications don't really seem to adhere to those high standards. I've been reading wikipedia for years so I've seen quite a few pages but I will name a few concrete examples for clarity. I was looking at the page for the Journal of Neuroscience for example. /info/en/?search=The_Journal_of_Neuroscience
It basically summarises some of the key aspects of the journal's structure and content. It includes two citations, one citing itself, and the other cites a statistic about its Impact Factor. That hardly seems to me to be substantial independent writing, and I assume the situation for other scientific journals and other types of media is the same.

I've also seen movies that only cite online movie databases, or games that cite their own advertisments and press releases, or simply a couple of online databases.

Sorry if I seemed to be too bold David notMD, I was just asking and offering some personal observations for further comment and explanations, didn't mean to take any position really. Ok, well thanks for the answers then. I guess what I was looking for would be a kind of established minimum requirements, and looking through wikipedia at other webpages for current procedure is misleading for sure. Basically, before I put more work into it, I want to have an idea if its possible for the webpage to meet the minimum requirements as is or not. Obviously it won't be the example of the best cited article, but just wanted to know whether it could be possible at all or not, if I added web statistics and if I find some data about it in a database online for example, or a review somewhere. Maybe writing a wikipedia article about a webpage of this kind is just not possible. Alternatively, I can add the section I wrote to the pre-existing wikipedia article about the institution behind the website. /info/en/?search=Institute_for_the_Study_of_Human_Knowledge — Preceding unsigned comment added by PA Packard ( talk • contribs) 15:50, 2 October 2020 (UTC) PA Packard ( talk) 16:09, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

This is not an acceptable license for Wikimedia Commons, which only accept content that is freely licensed, including for commercial use. The primary problem is the imagery, which Google does not own, and is licensed to them by many different providers. Technically, if you can make an acceptable fair-use case, per WP:NFCC (which is very picky), that may allow you to upload it here locally (to English Wikipedia). —[ AlanM1 ( talk)]— 16:12, 2 October 2020 (UTC)These guidelines are for non-commercial use, except for the limited use cases described below.

https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Talk:Rose_City_Antifa&oldid=981497340 What is happening here? I added a response, then it caused the vast majority of the page to become invisible after the edit was completed and I can't figure out where things went wrong.

My question concerns the citation for the 2nd sentence of Prison Sex. I used {{Cite web}} to format the reference. The reference is a web page article about Tool's song, which appears on the Metal Hammer magazine website (https://www.loudersound.com/metal-hammer). On that web page the publisher notes, "Published in Metal Hammer #326", i.e., the article was published in Metal Hammer, issue number 326. Metal Hammer is available as a print and digital magazine. I wrote the reference as follows.
Wiederhorn, Jon (July 10, 2020). "The Story Behind The Song: Tool's Prison Sex". Metal Hammer Magazine (published in Metal Hammer #326). Retrieved October 3, 2020.
Based on the principle, "give the reader what they need in order to locate the cited source", I am thinking I actually do not need to include "(published in Metal Hammer #326)". But before I remove it, I wanted to see what you all recommend. Thanks! Mark D Worthen PsyD (talk) [he/his/him] 01:13, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi, brand new. Very interested in 'prettying' up pages. Interested in joining the WP:GOCE and helping with the backlog of articles needing attention. Also planning to join the WPFILMS project. I have been going on the Getting Started page and am tempted to edit the random pages, but I want to make sure I start properly so I don't give someone else work to clean up after me.
I completed the Wikipedia Adventure, but I am still confused about how to remove tags from the page once editing has been completed. I am also confused about how to add a tag. Also if I am editing an article and I notice that something needs to be cited, do I get to make that call and add a 'citation needed' tag or is that for more advanced editors to decide? Not trying to ruffle feathers! Thank you. SleepyAthena ( talk) 01:23, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

These edits ( [3], [4], and [5]) link to the content of a private phone call (of a former French minister). Making public such a private phone call is illegal in France, and, in any case must be considered as a copyvio. I have reverted the two first edits (this is not the only reason of my reverts). I have not found in WP page whether such a link addition must be rev-deleted. If they should, please do it. The last edit is a post in a talk page. It is easy to rev-delete it, as, up to now, nobody answered it. Also, the IP user that authored the post is clearly a sockpuppet of the editor of the two first edits, and probably also of the subject of the article who has a long history of sockpuppetry, mainly in French Wikipedia ( Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Brancojuan/Archive and Juan Branco#Self-promotion on Wikipedia).

"Having cemented himself firmly in the scene, Soul Button maintains focus on the continuous growth and development of his labels as well as his own personal career"they're liable either to move on to something easier, or simply glance at the sources and reject it on the basis of failing to meet our notability criteria (see WP:NMUSIC), and lack of any independent, in-depth sources. So, you should look at our notability criteria for musicians and assess whether or not Soul Button meets them. Your task is to ensure sources show that he does. Work on that and perhaps then cut out the waffle - that way you might stand a chance of speeding things up. Hope this helps. Nick Moyes ( talk) 00:35, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi wikipedians! I have an idea in where there will be a preference where you can see redirects in green. Here is the tip 1,2,3-Benthiadiazole is a red link, nonexistent article. 1,2,3-Benzothiadiazole is a blue link, existing article Benzothiadiazole is disambiguation, some people(including me) see it yellow whereas others see it blue. 1,2,3-Benzthiadiazole is redirect, seen blue but I wish it would be seen green.

Hello, being new I must admit that I do not understand if the page in question is online or under verification.
This is a work I did on the page: " User:Gigiman80/sandbox" in EN edition.
Here is the link in question (if you have access to this page): /info/en/?search=User:Gigiman80/sandbox
On Wikimedia Common, it is : EugeneZelenko who refused the files in question. Via my request, I would like among other things:
1. Modify the name of this page that I made because his name that I wanted to put was Jonathan Kubben and not: "User: Gigiman80 / sandbox" 2. Prove and re-add the photos on Wimedia Common which were refused because I hold the rights by various contracts made with the authors in question.
Could you help me please ? Do you advise me to start this work over again? Gigiman80 ( talk) 16:30, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

My comment is that there is nothing on what the Inuit do for fun or sport or other everyday activity such as washing the blood of their clothing, cleaning the body, swimming - do they swim for fun? Bathroom habits? Games? What other foods do they eat besides fish and animals. I'm talking about the traditional Inuit culture, not the current situation.

However I never re=eived a notification that it was successful submitted. I am guessing that it is in the public drafting area, but how can I be sure?

Hi, I hope that I am writing this correctly. Thanks for your links. I have been thought the beginning intro and I have been practicing the last few weeks using visual editor with a friend - who is also a beginner (but a bit more seasoned). I have also spent the last weeks writing the article /info/en/?search=User:Desmond123x/sandbox. I have been looking at a number of good YouTube videos on how to proceed. They have been enormously helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyK-hzYYPfg&frags=wn&ab_channel=WikimedianinResidenceUniversityofEdinburgh and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJooaYYQveY&ab_channel=WritingforWikipedia%28w4w%29.
I have tried to submit our article several times using the methods spelled out in these videos. The "move" tab appears to be missing, so I have gone through the "article wizard" and hit "publish". (with subst:submit on top)
What do I do next to submit my draft for review?
{{
subst:submit}}
on the draft and hit the publish button. If you copy it from here, please copy it as it appears when viewing the page. Reviewing is a slow process, it may take a few weeks or more, but if you are lucky you will hear back a lot earlier. Note that the move button will appear earlier or later on itself when you are
WP:AUTOCONFIRMED, though I strongely recommend using the review process, at least until you get the hang of the things.

Anyway! I unfortunately do not have leisure to improve it right now, but I wished to call attention to the fact that the Ingrid Bergman article is unusually terrible. It is indulgently long, wildly ungrammatical, and at times reliant on a single source for not insignificant portions of the article (viz. the Rossellini affair section.) As of this writing the third body paragraph runs like so:
Ingrid was her father's favorite photographic subject. He made her dressed up in his coat, hat and glasses. He dreamed his daughter might become an opera singer. She got her singing lessons when she was about 8 years old. Ingrid did not like it very much. At this time she was getting piano lessons too, where she always played in front of Justus. He sent her to the Palmgrenska Samskolan, the most prestigious girls' school in Stockholm. Ingrid was not really a good student, but her father doted on her so much. One day, Ingrid asked her father for one krona of weekly pocket money. Justus fished out a handful of money from his pocket and gave to Ingrid. 'There, take as much as you want. Here, take it.' Ingrid would say 'no, no, no, that's too much. You musn't do that, you musn't spoil me. I should just have one krona a week.' Justus replied 'Oh, don't be silly, money is just there to be spent. Take it.' Ingrid relented but not before saying, 'Here, look I'll take two krona. Put the rest away.
Most of the article proceeds in this fashion.
If there are any Wikipedians knowledgeable in this subject I should urge them very strongly to refine this article. Lightcaller ( talk) 23:34, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Hey,
I have tried to upload information on a Wikipedia page called " Malgre Tout Media". It got declined because of not enough reliable resources but afterwards, I added one more link from 3rd party sources. Now, it still shows as being declined so I'm wondering why it's still not approved. I think that given the amount of content, there is enough reliable sources. But if not, how much more should I add?
Also, I have seen a lot of other Wikipedia pages that have less sources and references but are still published.

Also, how do I really create a company page that would be approved cuz I have seen a lot of time for company pages they often use words that looks like promotion, so how do I avoid all those?

I am a new editor and still learning the ropes with editing and creating new articles. I recently started a new article on the Kim Loo Sisters, a group of Asian American Sisters who performed in vaudeville circuits and Broadway from the 1930s through the 1940s. I am using a book that have compiled interviews from the sisters and am unsure of whether I should write down all details in the parenthetical in-line citations or if I should use "Ibid" for repeating the author name and publication date.

Political manipulation on Wikipedia regarding acts of self-immolation in Poland after 2010
Condensing for brevity |
---|
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. |
[1] Wikipedia article: "Siwiec's death foreshadowed the much better known self-immolation of Jan Palach in Prague four months later. Siwiec was the first person from Central and Eastern Europe to self-immolate in protest of the invasion,[1][2] and one of three in Polish history (the other being Walenty Badylak and Piotr Szczęsny)." There is no link to the article on Walenty Badylak, which favors the reader to click through to Piotr Szczęsny. And it misses out the self-immolation of Andrzej Zydek on 23 September 2011, in protest against the government of Donald Tusk. And the self-immolation of Andrzej Filipiak on 12 June 2013, in protest against the government of Donald Tusk and high unemployment. Again, in front of Prime Minister Donald Tusk's office. Both of these acts of self-immolation were covered very superficially by the Polish media, which at that time was even more in favor of the party of Donald Tusk than it is now. Namely: all three major TV channels were in the hands of strong Tusk supporters, as were all the major daily newspapers and most weekly magazines. Andrzej Zydek, who unlike Piotr Szczęsny, was not being treated for mental illness, set fire to himself in front of Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk's office in 2011 as a protest against corruption in the tax offices and the judiciary. It turned out later that Andrzej Zydek's allegations were correct, allegations for which he lost his job as a tax officer. In fact, matters were far worse than Andrzej Zydek believed: In addition to the VAT gap ballooning from 8 to eventually 30%, Donald Tusk was accused by independent public prosecutors of okaying the illegal importation into Poland of $25 billion worth of tariff-free oil by the Russian mafia, openly in road tankers. And there was a property scam in Warsaw directly linked to Tusk's party and crooked judges worth $1 billion. Andrzej Zydek survived, as Tusk's bodyguards extinguished the flames in time. /info/en/?search=Piotr_Szcz%C4%99sny I looked up self-immolation protests in Poland and found a disturbing inaccuracy in this article, which cannot be corrected. "Following Szczęsny’s death, the government media declared him mentally unstable." It then links to an article laden with propaganda. The related quote from the linked article in the Chicago Tribune is: "Following Szczesny’s death, the government-controlled media declared him mentally unstable but struggled to find evidence of a disease that could have urged him to take his life. Yet the disease that ravaged Szczesny is very much on the outside of his body." The government does not control the media in Poland. At that time (and at present) the vast majority of the media is bitterly opposed to the government. The author of the article Monika Nalepa would surely know this, as she worked for the part of the media most bitterly opposed to the government! I suggest this sentence and link be removed. Moreover, it doesn't fit in with what appears two sentences later in the Wiki article: "He was not involved in any political action of the Polish opposition and had suffered from depression for the last eight years of his life."

Hi there! An editor appears to be targeting some of the articles I've worked on, and I'm trying to get my bearings on what's okay and what is not okay. To start with can you advise me if the 3RR rule has been broken?
On 21 September 2020, between 21:07 and 22:06, one editor made eight reversions to the article on Andrew Hastie (politician), removing about 100,000 bytes of information, which you can see here. At the time I kind of accepted it and started working through the material on the talk page. But I'm starting to realise that, under wiki guidelines, that perhaps I shouldn't have quietly accepted it at all. That the "three-revert rule" means "an editor must not perform more than three reverts, in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material, on a single page within a 24-hour period."
Should I have reported this? Should I now? Should I offer a warning?
I'd appreciate any advice. The Little Platoon ( talk) 11:24, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello,
I have an unpublished document by someone who has researched information by using a public archive. Is it ok to use the Archive as a Primary Source reference, even though the archive catalogue doesn't mention the subject of the page, and similarly, is it ok to use websites as a reference, even if they don't mention the detail?
This is what I'm talking about: I'm writing a page about someone called Thomas Daniel. The unpublished research says he was a silver token holder at Bristol Old Vic Theatre. Bristol Archives holds the archival material - http://archives.bristol.gov.uk/Record.aspx?src=CalmView.Catalog&id=TR - and there are references to the Silver Tokens online e.g. https://www.bristol.ac.uk/news/2015/june/old-vic-silver-tickets.html which refers to the original research done by the person whose unpublishe document I have.
But I don't have a published reference to the fact that Thomas Daniel owned a silver token.
So do I not mention it, not give a reference, or give the references above? (It's a bit odd that the Bristol Old Vic page doesn't mention the silver tokens - but I'll leave that for another day!) Ruthhenrietta ( talk) 09:42, 7 October 2020 (UTC) Ruthhenrietta ( talk) 09:42, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'd be grateful for any help, as I may have misunderstood the new article approval process.
It was my understanding that a new article has to be approved by the Wikipedia community - but it seems that, just by moving an article from draft space, I've kind of stumbled into publishing it to the main space, without having to send it off for approval. It certainly looks published anyway!
Here's the draft I mean: /info/en/?search=FAIRR_(Farm_Animal_Investment_Risk_%26_Return)
Have I misunderstood the new article process, or have I been reading old instructions? Is the article now published?

Please explain difference between visual editing and normal editing Adsmohali ( talk) 13:22, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
( edit conflict) Adsmohali, “Normal editing” is subjective as it depends on the preference of an editor. However I think you are asking what the difference between 'Visual' & 'Source' editing is, Visual editing, is an easy way of editing whereby you are able to see in 'real time' how the output of your edit would look like once you save your edit whereas in 'Source editing' which is 'normal editing' for me, is a more complex form of editing because you’d be editing the 'Source' & this requires an editor to understand Wiki coding to a satisfactory level. Furthermore you seem to be testing your edits on mainspace, please do not do that again and you might want to cut down on using emoji's as they may make you look like you are not serious or just trolling.

Thank you for your answers. Yes, Sulbaran works for me and I asked him to correct and update the page, since there's a lot of inaccurate info on it. I also noticed I cannot upload pics of myself, of which I own the copyright, probably because they've been on the internet for many years. But I got the same problem with uploading to YouTube: I'll get a copyright claim for my own material. I will ask Sulbaran to look into it. However, I see references to interviews I did which aren't too accurate as a source in the first place. I'm not into editing pages at all, I do worry about having this fan-made page online with so much errors and not knowing whether accurate information will be viewed as inaccurate. It's not that big of a deal but it would be nice to have it accurate. There's plenty of info which is pre-internet or quotes which aren't documented. For example, there's an entire Armenian hotel chain using my name and logo: the source is the hotel chain itself, of which I can't upload a picture because it's not mine, which makes the entire story a bit funny. But I guess all will have a source if I do a couple of interviews. Anyway thank you for your help and assistance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danbelinsky ( talk • contribs) 19:22, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi ColinFine, thank you for your kind explanation. That's perfectly alright, virtually everything has been published either in books or online and my employees and associates were asking me to provide them with all the sources. I myself went to have a look and started to clean the page up, thinking I'd have a day or even two days to add all the sources (there are quite a few). I just didn't expect it to be deleted that quickly. I noticed I couldn't upload my own copyrighted pictures which are known and used all over the internet. I don't mind donating, I don't even care about people attributing the source. I would care about donating and losing my copyright to Wikipedia, like I do care, to some extend, that the information about me, put on Wikipedia by some obsessed fans, is as accurate and complete as possible. I just wished there was a bit more time to actually complete it. It's funny however, how an Armenian hotel chain took my name and logo and I run into copyright issues and source issues: there's humor in there, somewhere. My sincere apologies to have bothered you with this, I can promise you my intentions were to have an as accurate Wikipedia page as possible, that's all.

Hi ColinFine, thanks again for your kind support. It's good to hear the material added is in the history. No, I never have been bothered about what people do with my images with the excepting of me losing the right to use my own material. Personally I view the option for anyone to freely say anything about me, using a source which only I can determine is accurate or not (I was there), a bit strange but no problem. I have instructed my people to gather all sources and only edit in what is clearly supported by a reliable source. (which I understand is the only way to avoid nonsense to be included). When ready I suppose they will test with a segment with a proper source and see whether it gets deleted or not. If not, good. If deleted, I'll recommend them not to spend too much time on it. From what I have seen here, browsing through the Teahouse comments, it's a pretty daunting task for both editor and controlling volunteer. It was an interesting look behind the scenes, though.

In the last couple of days, I spent much time improving a page. I discovered today that a privileged editor, a New York librarian, has reversed wholesale all of my work and has used his apparent status to prevent an undo. Having already spent much time, I am not now willing to manually restore my work (and besides, another editor has made two good small edits that should not be disturbed) and am sufficiently upset to want to learn exactly how this kind of behavior is enabled and tolerated at Wikipedia.

--Thank you, Bonadea, but I would like to focus on the principle of a person with special privileges at Wikipedia making such a devastating move against any contributor.
--Well, 331dot, I am not in a dispute with the person. I can't compete with someone who has access to tools unknown to me. I thought we were all on the same level at Wikipedia. The person has opted not to challenge any part of my work but to simply remove it all, in one action. That's not right. I want to know how it is possible.
--How do you "discuss" such an action, one that is not about any part of the work?
--I don't use the Talk feature. Never have, in 12 years of Wikipedia editing. Usually editors just make the specific corrections they feel necessary. That works for me, without a whole background thing going on. Many of us just don't have time, you know? We would rather put the effort into the actual page improvements. And usually there is no need to "discuss" because the material advances organically.
--Here in the Teahouse I am still left without a grasp of how someone can go in and wipe out countless hours of constructive work in one fell swoop without raising a single specific concern, and apply special tools to enforce their action. It is abhorrent. It should not be permitted. I take ColinFine's point above that the work is not "lost," but I have no idea what to do next. No contributor can be expected to argue from a point of ZERO, with everything undone, as if he has to win every point one by one, just because another person has opted to do one massive revert. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:D8:8F2C:3600:39DC:3F51:6B41:C9BF ( talk) 18:54, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
Over a three day period you made about 45 edits to Treemonisha (all of which can be recovered from View history). Several editors with an interest in this article discussed your changes on the Talk page of the article and agreed that one of them should revert to the draft before you started. Part of the discussion was that some of your changes were probably valid, but others not, and so intertwined that the decision was to roll all back. At one of the IP addresses your work was posted from, an invite was left on Talk to join a discussion on the article's Talk page. So yes, either withdraw from the fray, or else post one change at a time, slowly, while making a case for the changes on the Talk page. David notMD ( talk) 19:14, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi! I was wondering whether "post-compromise security" is in fact a notable topic for an article?
I saw it in the cryptography requested article section but wasn't sure that it would actually be considered notable. If it could, I might try to create the page. I just wouldn't want to create the article only to find it's not notable.
I'm not sure how to find secondary sources on a topic like this (so my lack of finding them doesn't necessarily indicate that they don't exist). I did find quite a few primary sources on the topic through a Google Scholar search so I don't think it's really an obscure topic and I'm sure there would be people interested in it.
So how could I determine whether this is notable? What do you think? Thanks for any help!! IllQuill ( talk) 03:34, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

On two occasions I have corrected mistakes on Brian Bevan's Wikipedia page, namely his date of birth and the spelling of his middle name. On the second occasion I was very careful to give a precise source - but still my edit was undone and the incorrect information is back on the Wikipedia page. Brian Bevan, a huge figure in the sport of rugby league, was born on 24 June 1924 (not January) and his middle name was Eyrl (not Earl). How can I make sure the correct information appears? I am happy to chat with whoever is undoing my good work, by phone, email or through Wikipedia. I just want the right facts to be available.

Hi Nick Moyes. Thanks for your reply. I have again corrected the two mistakes on the Brian Bevan page taking great care over the source.

Hi, I can create new laws of physics using the concept of duality, this means I would have to edit your page on the laws of thermodynamics. The new laws are:- Syntropy (prediction) is dual to increasing entropy (Shannon) -- the 4th law of thermodynamics. The conservation of duality (energy) -- the 5th law of thermodynamics. Apples fall to the ground because they are conserving duality. Potential energy is dual to kinetic energy. Energy is duality, duality is energy. Gravitation is equivalent or dual to acceleration -- Einstein's happiest thought, the principle of equivalence (duality). Energy is dual to mass -- Einstein. Dark energy is dual to dark matter. "Always two there are" -- Yoda. If you want me to add these new laws then I will need some help on how to use Wikipedia? Hyperduality ( talk) 12:24, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
In declining the draft:Luminar Technologies Synoman Barris said in part that it relied on primary soures and did not show significant coverage from independent reliable secondary sources.
In noting my use of primary sources, was Synoman Barris referring to the use of the US Patent and Trade Office to document Luminar's patents? If so, I would argue the fact that an 8-year old company has been assigned over 80 patents related to LiDAR technology goes a log way towards establishing WP.GNG. Other than USPTO and Google Patents, I know of no other way to document these.
Luminar Technologies has had significant coverage in national publications for its work on LiDAR technology in self-driving vehicles. Much of the company's foundation and early history is covered in George Gilder's book Life After Google, which I have cited.
Magazine feature articles that were cited came from Forbes, The Verge, VentureBeat and Fast Company.
Cited news organizations covering Luminar include Wired, CNBC and Market Watch.
Cited industry tech/trade publications covering Luminar include MIT Technology Review, IEEE Spectrum, Car and Driver, Automotive News and Optics.org.
Finally, Synoman Barris questioned whether I was being paid to create this page, and if so, to disclose. I did declare via WP.PAID on the talk page when this was initially posted. This, and the fact that the page was declined only 4 minutes after it was posted leads me to question how carefully this submission was reviewed.
I am happy to continue working on the Luminar page to improve it, but feel that reliable secondary sources have been used in the creation of this page, and the citing of patents supports the case for notability.
I welcome any suggestions for moving the Luminar page forward. Tlvernon ( talk) 13:12, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

I will restate the question. Draft:Scott Dadich was rejected (not declined). There isn't (to the best of my knowledge) a standard procedure for what a submitter can do after a draft is rejected, other than leave it alone and work on something else. At least the Original Poster is asking the question politely and is now trying to edit in accordance with our rules. (We won't go into past errors.) Would it, for instance, be appropriate to G7 the rejected draft and start a new one, possibly with a comment saying that it replaces the rejected draft?
I have many times advised the author of a rejected draft to discuss before trying to resubmit, but this may be the first time that there has been a civil question of how to resubmit a rejected draft. Robert McClenon ( talk) 21:42, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
A citation was added to Cognitive psychology by a wikiedu student yesterday. Comparing the book text to the article revealed large sections of identical (cut and paste) content. My first assumption was plagiarism by a WP editor, but upon further investigation of the publisher ED-TECH Press, it seemed possible that the plagiarism runs the other way. All of the large selection of books on the site give an impression of being fake, from the cover images to the author's names, which include no academic affiliations.

This is maybe a two-part post. First, it is a request that other experienced editors look at it and see if they agree with my decline. Second, it is a request that other experienced editors look at film notability guidelines and see whether I am misreading the guidelines, whether other enthusiastic editors who follow movie news are misreading the guidelines, and whether the guidelines should be clarified.
I declined the draft because it is about an unreleased movie that has begun principal photography and has not been released. The author appears to be saying that it qualifies for an article because it has begun principal photography.
My reading of the guideline is that a film that is still in production is notable if there has been something notable about the production itself, such as that the Chicago Tribune reported that several blocks in downtown Chicago were closed to vehicular traffic for filming of the car chase scene, or that Philadelphia Inquirer reported that the producer fired the supporting actress and reworked the scenes. My reading of the draft is that a reliable source says that production started.
My follow-up question is whether the guideline on future films should be rearranged somewhat. The first paragraph says that films are not notable until principal photography begins. The third paragraph then says that films that are in production are only notable if the production itself is notable. This may cause editors to think that the start of production is more important than it is, when what is usually important is theatrical release.

I noticed the wiki page for Grammonota texana does not have an image for the taxobox. I happen to have an image of a specimen that I took and was planning to upload it to Commons/add it to the taxobox. The image is of a preserved specimen and does not show the entire body, only a side view of the carapace. I figured this was the best image to use as the shape of the modified carapace in this genus, from a lateral view, is diagnostic in terms of its ID.
Is there any issue with using an image of part of a creature's body, provided it emphasizes a helpful morphological feature, such as in this case? Teal Reverie ( talk) 23:12, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Long time reader, new member. I had an auto-pay set up to support the site monthly (go team!). But one day I clicked edit on whatever it was I was reading, just to see what would happen, and saw that I had been banned from editing?! I think I was even labeled? Idk. It's been some time ago by now, and I really didn't think to lean into it, never even looked around for where to inquire. Just cancelled my auto-pay & kept it moving, until the donate notice popped up today & jogged my memory.
I have no idea if this is the right place to ask, but I'm just curious about it. I don't submit anything here or wish to, but I did see a discrepancy that one time and was moved to see about a correction when I noticed the ban. Guess I must've felt a way since I canceled the donation, but I didn't see the logic in sending money each month to a place where I couldn't even get a notice or inquiry about whatever infraction I committed.
Anyways, hiiii *waves* banned newbie here!

Ausubel and his studies are very good and supported by several people and entities. He studied not only empires, but several studies related to the humanities.

Mr. Ausubel was the main organizer of the first UN World Climate Conference (Geneva, 1979), which raised the issue of global warming substantially on the scientific and political agendas. "

I often use wikipedia while translating and notice missing links between two languages, but I had trouble finding a guide on how to edit this links (a simple link to a help page would be enough for this). I also noticed that some of the pages with a missing link are both linked to the english wikipedia (the same could be true for other languages).

Hello,
Hope you're doing well. I have a question about when material from academics meets the standard for being reliable. It seems clear to me from WP:RS that peer-reviewed academic papers do qualify, whereas self-published material (even from an academic) doesn't qualify. This leaves a grey area in between though that is neither peer-reviewed nor self-published. To give three examples:
My question isn't the reliability of these particular examples, but rather how to decide if a source is acceptable where Wikipedia's guidelines aren't specific. Thanks! Gazelle55 ( talk) 00:01, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
whereas self-published material (even from an academic) doesn't qualifyis always the case per WP:SELFPUB, WP:BLPSPS, WP:BLPSELFPUB, WP:CITESELF or even WP:EXPERT; "self-published" sources may be acceptable in some cases depending on WP:RSCONTEXT. As for disagreements over whether a source from an academic is reliable, that's something that sometimes can be resolved through WP:DISCUSS or and noticeboard like WP:RSN. If the academic is a well-respected peer in their field, then in some cases the things they self-publish might be considered reliable in certain contexts if properly attributed as such. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 01:25, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

Sometimes during edit disputes users make unreasonable requests for sourcing and I don't know how to best handle it. Below are examples.
Sample 1: There is a story inside a textbook. Many reliable sources confirm this story is in the textbook, it is not disputed. So I post a recent edition of the textbook in the article. A user complains there is no source that confirms the story exists in that particular edition. I am unable to find a source to confirm edition information, only sources say it is in the book generally. There is no reason given for the doubt, just a made-up theory it is not in every edition.
Sample 2: There is a boat called "Goat" owned by Mr. Hinderson of NY registered in 1855, according to state records and linked in the article about Mr. Hinderson. Other sources confirm Mr. Hinderson did own a boat of this name, it is not disputed. A user complains how do we know there is not a second Mr. Hinderson from NY with a boat called "Goat" registered in 1855? It might not be the same Hinderson, there could be two. They request a source confirming this is the person of our article, without providing evidence of another Mr. Hinderson with a boat named "Goat".
These 'disputes' hinge on WP:V which states "any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation that directly supports the material." My response has been their requests are unreasonable and not credible and to basically WP:IAR. Their response is V is policy and they can dispute anything at any time. It is sort of wikilawyering, but I would like some guidance on how to deal with non-credible sourcing requests. -- Green C 04:39, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

Could anybody help me and check my article about the Latvian band Very Cool People /info/en/?search=Draft:Very_Cool_People and give me comment on improvement. Why isn't the musical notability criteria is satisfied? I guess I have met all the criteria. Help me, please! Thank you in advance.
Aiga Aiga Liva ( talk) 09:26, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
Aiga Liva ( talk) Hey! Thank you for the question, in my opinion, they meet 5 notable criteria:
4.Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.[note 4] - They are one of the most active Latvian concert bands also outside the country. They have represented Latvia in several international important events that I have mentioned also in the article
6.Is an ensemble that contains two or more independently notable musicians, or is a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensembles.[note 5] This should be adapted appropriately for the musical genre; for example, having performed two lead roles at major opera houses. Note that this criterion needs to be interpreted with caution, as there have been instances where this criterion was cited in a circular manner to create a self-fulfilling notability loop (e.g. musicians who were "notable" only for having been in two bands, of which one or both were "notable" only because those musicians had been in them.)
7. Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.
11. Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.
12. Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or television network. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aiga Liva ( talk • contribs) 06:58, 2 October 2020 (UTC)

enHi everyone,
I'm relatively new to wikipedia editing and I wrote an article on the Human Journey Website but it got rejected. https://humanjourney.us/
The problem is that I need to find better sources aparently. Here is my draft. /info/en/?search=Draft:The_Human_Journey
Now, just to be clear, I have written several scientific papers in international journals and I know how citing sources is usually done in the academic world, but here I feel things are a bit different.
I have a list of websites that link back to the Human Journey website but the best thing I could see as a source so far was a mention in a magazine's blog. So I have several ideas, please let me know if these make sense. I could include more information about the authors of the website, who include authors with books and articles I could cite. Or I could look for web statistics and include that information about the website maybe? If not, I guess a third route would be getting an article about the website published by some source that is considered reliable and then citing that in the wikipedia article?
Another doubt I have is about the content, so say if I want to summarize the content of the website, do I really need an external citation for that? For example, if one of the guiding ideas of the website is: "Discover who we are, how we evolved, what we might become", and it has four main sections with different names which I explain, and this is taken literaly from the website itself, do I need a citation to state something which is self-evident like that? It seems to me sort of like how articles about movies summarize the plot without needing to include citations for that.
Any suggestions are welcome!

Hi Jayron32 and thanks for answering. I'm not sure if this is how I'm supposed to reply here. I hope you don't mind me following up on your answer, and I do realize you are simply citing wikipedia's rules and trying to explain the basic idea. I understand the ideal, but it seems to me like a lot of wikipedia pages about media and publications don't really seem to adhere to those high standards. I've been reading wikipedia for years so I've seen quite a few pages but I will name a few concrete examples for clarity. I was looking at the page for the Journal of Neuroscience for example. /info/en/?search=The_Journal_of_Neuroscience
It basically summarises some of the key aspects of the journal's structure and content. It includes two citations, one citing itself, and the other cites a statistic about its Impact Factor. That hardly seems to me to be substantial independent writing, and I assume the situation for other scientific journals and other types of media is the same.

I've also seen movies that only cite online movie databases, or games that cite their own advertisments and press releases, or simply a couple of online databases.

Sorry if I seemed to be too bold David notMD, I was just asking and offering some personal observations for further comment and explanations, didn't mean to take any position really. Ok, well thanks for the answers then. I guess what I was looking for would be a kind of established minimum requirements, and looking through wikipedia at other webpages for current procedure is misleading for sure. Basically, before I put more work into it, I want to have an idea if its possible for the webpage to meet the minimum requirements as is or not. Obviously it won't be the example of the best cited article, but just wanted to know whether it could be possible at all or not, if I added web statistics and if I find some data about it in a database online for example, or a review somewhere. Maybe writing a wikipedia article about a webpage of this kind is just not possible.

My question concerns the citation for the 2nd sentence of Prison Sex. I used {{Cite web}} to format the reference. The reference is a web page article about Tool's song, which appears on the Metal Hammer magazine website (https://www.loudersound.com/metal-hammer). On that web page the publisher notes, "Published in Metal Hammer #326", i.e., the article was published in Metal Hammer, issue number 326. Metal Hammer is available as a print and digital magazine. I wrote the reference as follows.
Wiederhorn, Jon (July 10, 2020). "The Story Behind The Song: Tool's Prison Sex". Metal Hammer Magazine (published in Metal Hammer #326). Retrieved October 3, 2020.
Based on the principle, "give the reader what they need in order to locate the cited source", I am thinking I actually do not need to include "(published in Metal Hammer #326)".

I completed the Wikipedia Adventure, but I am still confused about how to remove tags from the page once editing has been completed. I am also confused about how to add a tag.

Making public such a private phone call is illegal in France, and, in any case must be considered as a copyvio. I have reverted the two first edits (this is not the only reason of my reverts). I have not found in WP page whether such a link addition must be rev-deleted. If they should, please do it. The last edit is a post in a talk page. It is easy to rev-delete it, as, up to now, nobody answered it. Also, the IP user that authored the post is clearly a sockpuppet of the editor of the two first edits, and probably also of the subject of the article who has a long history of sockpuppetry, mainly in French Wikipedia ( Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Brancojuan/Archive and Juan Branco#Self-promotion on Wikipedia). So, there is no problem to delete this post. D.Lazard ( talk) 13:42, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

I am a newbie and uploaded an excerpt from an 1884 map, which is at: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=File:1884_map_between_N_%26_S_Platte.png&oldid=981419308
To address the copyright issue, I included the following: "Published in 1885. All US works published before January 1, 1923 are in the public domain. https://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ15a.pdf"
I received a notice as follows: "The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time after the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like

How do I add a Public Domain tag that will satisfy the requirement? Does that mean adding "Public Domain" as the only content in a line of text?

Hello,
I am a new user. I wish to start a new article about an Israeli poet named "Shlomo Laufer" I understand that there is something wrong with the way i posted my references. The user "TheAafi" have declined my submission. This article is merely a translation for the standing article about the same person in Wikipedia Hebrew. I added a link to that article. Since the person at hand have published his work in Hebrew newspapers and journals, together with the fact that he has no affiliation with the Academia, i don't have any English peer reviewed work to show for his behalf. His Hebrew Wikipedia article has many references and external links, to serve for the credibility of his work.
What should i do differently in the references? Can i use Word referencing tool and convert the file for use into Wikipedia?

My edits have been struck here: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Srila_Bhaktivedanta_Narayana_Gosvami_Maharaja
I understand that repetitive comments are not useful; but the third strike through does not make sense to me.
In my view it seems like it is acceptable to make false accusations of socket puppetry and to repeat the suggestion for deletion as Berrely appears to have done, but I can not counteract false accusations by commenting? Is it because it was labeled **Keep** and I should have labeled it **comment**? Can I comment on the false accusation? And Eddie891 says I should focus on content and not contributors...well, I am.

"After deepening his knowledge and now having gained a vast array of experience in the music industry, it was only natural for the culmination of his own label."or
"Having cemented himself firmly in the scene, Soul Button maintains focus on the continuous growth and development of his labels as well as his own personal career"they're liable either to move on to something easier, or simply glance at the sources and reject it on the basis of failing to meet our notability criteria (see WP:NMUSIC), and lack of any independent, in-depth sources. So, you should look at our notability criteria for musicians and assess whether or not Soul Button meets them. Your task is to ensure sources show that he does. Work on that and perhaps then cut out the waffle - that way you might stand a chance of speeding things up. Hope this helps. Nick Moyes ( talk) 00:35, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

I would like to create a wikipedia page for St Paul's Church Cambridge.
There is already a wikimedia category: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:St_Paul%27s_Church,_Cambridge
And also a wikidata item: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q26632397
Ideally I'd like to be able to pull facts from wikidata, for an infobox, but I'm unsure how to do that in a draft page. I have seen example markup like: {{Wikidata Infobox}} which seems to use the wikidata item associated with a page. How could I do that in a draft page, which I don't think would have a wikidata item associated with it.

Hi, I hope that I am writing this correctly. Thanks for your links. I have been thought the beginning intro and I have been practicing the last few weeks using visual editor with a friend - who is also a beginner (but a bit more seasoned). I have also spent the last weeks writing the article /info/en/?search=User:Desmond123x/sandbox. I have been looking at a number of good YouTube videos on how to proceed. They have been enormously helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyK-hzYYPfg&frags=wn&ab_channel=WikimedianinResidenceUniversityofEdinburgh and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJooaYYQveY&ab_channel=WritingforWikipedia%28w4w%29.
I have tried to submit our article several times using the methods spelled out in these videos. The "move" tab appears to be missing, so I have gone through the "article wizard" and hit "publish". (with subst:submit on top)
What do I do next to submit my draft for review?
{{
subst:submit}}
on the draft and hit the publish button. If you copy it from here, please copy it as it appears when viewing the page. Reviewing is a slow process, it may take a few weeks or more, but if you are lucky you will hear back a lot earlier. Note that the move button will appear earlier or later on itself when you are
WP:AUTOCONFIRMED, though I strongely recommend using the review process, at least until you get the hang of the things.

Anyway! I unfortunately do not have leisure to improve it right now, but I wished to call attention to the fact that the Ingrid Bergman article is unusually terrible. It is indulgently long, wildly ungrammatical, and at times reliant on a single source for not insignificant portions of the article (viz. the Rossellini affair section.) As of this writing the third body paragraph runs like so:
Ingrid was her father's favorite photographic subject. He made her dressed up in his coat, hat and glasses. He dreamed his daughter might become an opera singer. She got her singing lessons when she was about 8 years old. Ingrid did not like it very much. At this time she was getting piano lessons too, where she always played in front of Justus. He sent her to the Palmgrenska Samskolan, the most prestigious girls' school in Stockholm. Ingrid was not really a good student, but her father doted on her so much. One day, Ingrid asked her father for one krona of weekly pocket money. Justus fished out a handful of money from his pocket and gave to Ingrid. 'There, take as much as you want. Here, take it.' Ingrid would say 'no, no, no, that's too much. You musn't do that, you musn't spoil me. I should just have one krona a week.' Justus replied 'Oh, don't be silly, money is just there to be spent. Take it.' Ingrid relented but not before saying, 'Here, look I'll take two krona. Put the rest away.
Most of the article proceeds in this fashion.
If there are any Wikipedians knowledgeable in this subject I should urge them very strongly to refine this article. Lightcaller ( talk) 23:34, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

I have tried to upload information on a Wikipedia page called " Malgre Tout Media". It got declined because of not enough reliable resources but afterwards, I added one more link from 3rd party sources. Now, it still shows as being declined so I'm wondering why it's still not approved. I think that given the amount of content, there is enough reliable sources. But if not, how much more should I add?

Political manipulation on Wikipedia regarding acts of self-immolation in Poland after 2010
Condensing for brevity |
---|
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. |
[1] Wikipedia article: "Siwiec's death foreshadowed the much better known self-immolation of Jan Palach in Prague four months later. Siwiec was the first person from Central and Eastern Europe to self-immolate in protest of the invasion,[1][2] and one of three in Polish history (the other being Walenty Badylak and Piotr Szczęsny)." There is no link to the article on Walenty Badylak, which favors the reader to click through to Piotr Szczęsny. And it misses out the self-immolation of Andrzej Zydek on 23 September 2011, in protest against the government of Donald Tusk. And the self-immolation of Andrzej Filipiak on 12 June 2013, in protest against the government of Donald Tusk and high unemployment. Again, in front of Prime Minister Donald Tusk's office. Both of these acts of self-immolation were covered very superficially by the Polish media, which at that time was even more in favor of the party of Donald Tusk than it is now. Namely: all three major TV channels were in the hands of strong Tusk supporters, as were all the major daily newspapers and most weekly magazines. Andrzej Zydek, who unlike Piotr Szczęsny, was not being treated for mental illness, set fire to himself in front of Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk's office in 2011 as a protest against corruption in the tax offices and the judiciary. It turned out later that Andrzej Zydek's allegations were correct, allegations for which he lost his job as a tax officer. In fact, matters were far worse than Andrzej Zydek believed: In addition to the VAT gap ballooning from 8 to eventually 30%, Donald Tusk was accused by independent public prosecutors of okaying the illegal importation into Poland of $25 billion worth of tariff-free oil by the Russian mafia, openly in road tankers. And there was a property scam in Warsaw directly linked to Tusk's party and crooked judges worth $1 billion. Andrzej Zydek survived, as Tusk's bodyguards extinguished the flames in time. /info/en/?search=Piotr_Szcz%C4%99sny I looked up self-immolation protests in Poland and found a disturbing inaccuracy in this article, which cannot be corrected. "Following Szczęsny’s death, the government media declared him mentally unstable." It then links to an article laden with propaganda. The related quote from the linked article in the Chicago Tribune is: "Following Szczesny’s death, the government-controlled media declared him mentally unstable but struggled to find evidence of a disease that could have urged him to take his life. Yet the disease that ravaged Szczesny is very much on the outside of his body." The government does not control the media in Poland. At that time (and at present) the vast majority of the media is bitterly opposed to the government. The author of the article Monika Nalepa would surely know this, as she worked for the part of the media most bitterly opposed to the government! I suggest this sentence and link be removed. Moreover, it doesn't fit in with what appears two sentences later in the Wiki article: "He was not involved in any political action of the Polish opposition and had suffered from depression for the last eight years of his life."

Hi there! An editor appears to be targeting some of the articles I've worked on, and I'm trying to get my bearings on what's okay and what is not okay. To start with can you advise me if the 3RR rule has been broken?
On 21 September 2020, between 21:07 and 22:06, one editor made eight reversions to the article on Andrew Hastie (politician), removing about 100,000 bytes of information, which you can see here. At the time I kind of accepted it and started working through the material on the talk page. But I'm starting to realise that, under wiki guidelines, that perhaps I shouldn't have quietly accepted it at all. That the "three-revert rule" means "an editor must not perform more than three reverts, in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material, on a single page within a 24-hour period."
Should I have reported this? Should I now? Should I offer a warning?
I'd appreciate any advice. The Little Platoon ( talk) 11:24, 4 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello,
I have an unpublished document by someone who has researched information by using a public archive. Is it ok to use the Archive as a Primary Source reference, even though the archive catalogue doesn't mention the subject of the page, and similarly, is it ok to use websites as a reference, even if they don't mention the detail?
This is what I'm talking about: I'm writing a page about someone called Thomas Daniel. The unpublished research says he was a silver token holder at Bristol Old Vic Theatre. Bristol Archives holds the archival material - http://archives.bristol.gov.uk/Record.aspx?src=CalmView.Catalog&id=TR - and there are references to the Silver Tokens online e.g. https://www.bristol.ac.uk/news/2015/june/old-vic-silver-tickets.html which refers to the original research done by the person whose unpublishe document I have.
But I don't have a published reference to the fact that Thomas Daniel owned a silver token.
So do I not mention it, not give a reference, or give the references above? (It's a bit odd that the Bristol Old Vic page doesn't mention the silver tokens - but I'll leave that for another day!) Ruthhenrietta ( talk) 09:42, 7 October 2020 (UTC) Ruthhenrietta ( talk) 09:42, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'd be grateful for any help, as I may have misunderstood the new article approval process.
It was my understanding that a new article has to be approved by the Wikipedia community - but it seems that, just by moving an article from draft space, I've kind of stumbled into publishing it to the main space, without having to send it off for approval. It certainly looks published anyway!
Here's the draft I mean: /info/en/?search=FAIRR_(Farm_Animal_Investment_Risk_%26_Return)
Have I misunderstood the new article process, or have I been reading old instructions? Is the article now published?

Please explain difference between visual editing and normal editing Adsmohali ( talk) 13:22, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
( edit conflict) Adsmohali, “Normal editing” is subjective as it depends on the preference of an editor. However I think you are asking what the difference between 'Visual' & 'Source' editing is, Visual editing, is an easy way of editing whereby you are able to see in 'real time' how the output of your edit would look like once you save your edit whereas in 'Source editing' which is 'normal editing' for me, is a more complex form of editing because you’d be editing the 'Source' & this requires an editor to understand Wiki coding to a satisfactory level. Furthermore you seem to be testing your edits on mainspace, please do not do that again and you might want to cut down on using emoji's as they may make you look like you are not serious or just trolling.

Hello - I'm creating a page about someone from C19th who had connections with lots of institutions. I've created a table with a list of about 40 institutions and want to add links to the relevant Wiki page if there is one. Is there any way I can do a quick search to flag up which have wiki pages and which don't, or do I have to search for each page individually in the wiki search engine?

Dear Teahouse,
I was working on correcting, adding and editing the page /info/en/?search=Valensia It's a page about the artist Valensia. I am the artist Valensia. How do I correct errors and add content without it being deleted? I am aware all has to be verified and must have a source. Is there a way to work in draft mode? It takes time to link all stories to all sources.
Thank you so much Danbelinsky ( talk) 17:29, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
Thank you for your answers. Yes, Sulbaran works for me and I asked him to correct and update the page, since there's a lot of inaccurate info on it. I also noticed I cannot upload pics of myself, of which I own the copyright, probably because they've been on the internet for many years. But I got the same problem with uploading to YouTube: I'll get a copyright claim for my own material. I will ask Sulbaran to look into it. However, I see references to interviews I did which aren't too accurate as a source in the first place. I'm not into editing pages at all, I do worry about having this fan-made page online with so much errors and not knowing whether accurate information will be viewed as inaccurate. It's not that big of a deal but it would be nice to have it accurate. There's plenty of info which is pre-internet or quotes which aren't documented. For example, there's an entire Armenian hotel chain using my name and logo: the source is the hotel chain itself, of which I can't upload a picture because it's not mine, which makes the entire story a bit funny. But I guess all will have a source if I do a couple of interviews. Anyway thank you for your help and assistance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danbelinsky ( talk • contribs) 19:22, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi ColinFine, thank you for your kind explanation. That's perfectly alright, virtually everything has been published either in books or online and my employees and associates were asking me to provide them with all the sources. I myself went to have a look and started to clean the page up, thinking I'd have a day or even two days to add all the sources (there are quite a few). I just didn't expect it to be deleted that quickly. I noticed I couldn't upload my own copyrighted pictures which are known and used all over the internet. I don't mind donating, I don't even care about people attributing the source. I would care about donating and losing my copyright to Wikipedia, like I do care, to some extend, that the information about me, put on Wikipedia by some obsessed fans, is as accurate and complete as possible. I just wished there was a bit more time to actually complete it. It's funny however, how an Armenian hotel chain took my name and logo and I run into copyright issues and source issues: there's humor in there, somewhere. My sincere apologies to have bothered you with this, I can promise you my intentions were to have an as accurate Wikipedia page as possible, that's all. Thank you for your help, suggestions and support. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danbelinsky ( talk • contribs) 22:32, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi ColinFine, thanks again for your kind support. It's good to hear the material added is in the history. No, I never have been bothered about what people do with my images with the excepting of me losing the right to use my own material. Personally I view the option for anyone to freely say anything about me, using a source which only I can determine is accurate or not (I was there), a bit strange but no problem. I have instructed my people to gather all sources and only edit in what is clearly supported by a reliable source. (which I understand is the only way to avoid nonsense to be included). When ready I suppose they will test with a segment with a proper source and see whether it gets deleted or not. If not, good. If deleted, I'll recommend them not to spend too much time on it. From what I have seen here, browsing through the Teahouse comments, it's a pretty daunting task for both editor and controlling volunteer. It was an interesting look behind the scenes, though. Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danbelinsky ( talk • contribs) 21:10, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

In the last couple of days, I spent much time improving a page. I discovered today that a privileged editor, a New York librarian, has reversed wholesale all of my work and has used his apparent status to prevent an undo. Having already spent much time, I am not now willing to manually restore my work (and besides, another editor has made two good small edits that should not be disturbed) and am sufficiently upset to want to learn exactly how this kind of behavior is enabled and tolerated at Wikipedia. Does anyone know? 2003:D8:8F2C:3600:39DC:3F51:6B41:C9BF ( talk) 17:43, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
--Thank you, Bonadea, but I would like to focus on the principle of a person with special privileges at Wikipedia making such a devastating move against any contributor.
--Well, 331dot, I am not in a dispute with the person. I can't compete with someone who has access to tools unknown to me. I thought we were all on the same level at Wikipedia. The person has opted not to challenge any part of my work but to simply remove it all, in one action. That's not right. I want to know how it is possible.
--How do you "discuss" such an action, one that is not about any part of the work?
--I don't use the Talk feature. Never have, in 12 years of Wikipedia editing. Usually editors just make the specific corrections they feel necessary. That works for me, without a whole background thing going on. Many of us just don't have time, you know? We would rather put the effort into the actual page improvements. And usually there is no need to "discuss" because the material advances organically.
--Here in the Teahouse I am still left without a grasp of how someone can go in and wipe out countless hours of constructive work in one fell swoop without raising a single specific concern, and apply special tools to enforce their action. It is abhorrent. It should not be permitted. I take ColinFine's point above that the work is not "lost," but I have no idea what to do next. No contributor can be expected to argue from a point of ZERO, with everything undone, as if he has to win every point one by one, just because another person has opted to do one massive revert. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2003:D8:8F2C:3600:39DC:3F51:6B41:C9BF ( talk) 18:54, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
Over a three day period you made about 45 edits to Treemonisha (all of which can be recovered from View history). Several editors with an interest in this article discussed your changes on the Talk page of the article and agreed that one of them should revert to the draft before you started. Part of the discussion was that some of your changes were probably valid, but others not, and so intertwined that the decision was to roll all back. At one of the IP addresses your work was posted from, an invite was left on Talk to join a discussion on the article's Talk page. So yes, either withdraw from the fray, or else post one change at a time, slowly, while making a case for the changes on the Talk page. David notMD ( talk) 19:14, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

2003: While registering an account is not required, doing so makes communication easier. Note that over time your IP number changes, so difficult for editors to Talk to you directly.

Hi! I was wondering whether "post-compromise security" is in fact a notable topic for an article?
I saw it in the cryptography requested article section but wasn't sure that it would actually be considered notable. If it could, I might try to create the page. I just wouldn't want to create the article only to find it's not notable.
I'm not sure how to find secondary sources on a topic like this (so my lack of finding them doesn't necessarily indicate that they don't exist). I did find quite a few primary sources on the topic through a Google Scholar search so I don't think it's really an obscure topic and I'm sure there would be people interested in it.

On two occasions I have corrected mistakes on Brian Bevan's Wikipedia page, namely his date of birth and the spelling of his middle name. On the second occasion I was very careful to give a precise source - but still my edit was undone and the incorrect information is back on the Wikipedia page. Brian Bevan, a huge figure in the sport of rugby league, was born on 24 June 1924 (not January) and his middle name was Eyrl (not Earl). How can I make sure the correct information appears?

Hi, I can create new laws of physics using the concept of duality, this means I would have to edit your page on the laws of thermodynamics. The new laws are:- Syntropy (prediction) is dual to increasing entropy (Shannon) -- the 4th law of thermodynamics. The conservation of duality (energy) -- the 5th law of thermodynamics. Apples fall to the ground because they are conserving duality. Potential energy is dual to kinetic energy. Energy is duality, duality is energy. Gravitation is equivalent or dual to acceleration -- Einstein's happiest thought, the principle of equivalence (duality). Energy is dual to mass -- Einstein. Dark energy is dual to dark matter.

In declining the draft:Luminar Technologies Synoman Barris said in part that it relied on primary soures and did not show significant coverage from independent reliable secondary sources.
In noting my use of primary sources, was Synoman Barris referring to the use of the US Patent and Trade Office to document Luminar's patents? If so, I would argue the fact that an 8-year old company has been assigned over 80 patents related to LiDAR technology goes a log way towards establishing WP.GNG. Other than USPTO and Google Patents, I know of no other way to document these.
Luminar Technologies has had significant coverage in national publications for its work on LiDAR technology in self-driving vehicles. Much of the company's foundation and early history is covered in George Gilder's book Life After Google, which I have cited.
Magazine feature articles that were cited came from Forbes, The Verge, VentureBeat and Fast Company.
Cited news organizations covering Luminar include Wired, CNBC and Market Watch.
Cited industry tech/trade publications covering Luminar include MIT Technology Review, IEEE Spectrum, Car and Driver, Automotive News and Optics.org.
Finally, Synoman Barris questioned whether I was being paid to create this page, and if so, to disclose. I did declare via WP.PAID on the talk page when this was initially posted. This, and the fact that the page was declined only 4 minutes after it was posted leads me to question how carefully this submission was reviewed.
I am happy to continue working on the Luminar page to improve it, but feel that reliable secondary sources have been used in the creation of this page, and the citing of patents supports the case for notability.
I welcome any suggestions for moving the Luminar page forward. Tlvernon ( talk) 13:12, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

I will restate the question. Draft:Scott Dadich was rejected (not declined). There isn't (to the best of my knowledge) a standard procedure for what a submitter can do after a draft is rejected, other than leave it alone and work on something else. At least the Original Poster is asking the question politely and is now trying to edit in accordance with our rules. (We won't go into past errors.) Would it, for instance, be appropriate to G7 the rejected draft and start a new one, possibly with a comment saying that it replaces the rejected draft?
I have many times advised the author of a rejected draft to discuss before trying to resubmit, but this may be the first time that there has been a civil question of how to resubmit a rejected draft. Robert McClenon ( talk) 21:42, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
A citation was added to Cognitive psychology by a wikiedu student yesterday. Comparing the book text to the article revealed large sections of identical (cut and paste) content.

This is maybe a two-part post. First, it is a request that other experienced editors look at it and see if they agree with my decline. Second, it is a request that other experienced editors look at film notability guidelines and see whether I am misreading the guidelines, whether other enthusiastic editors who follow movie news are misreading the guidelines, and whether the guidelines should be clarified.
I declined the draft because it is about an unreleased movie that has begun principal photography and has not been released. The author appears to be saying that it qualifies for an article because it has begun principal photography.
My reading of the guideline is that a film that is still in production is notable if there has been something notable about the production itself, such as that the Chicago Tribune reported that several blocks in downtown Chicago were closed to vehicular traffic for filming of the car chase scene, or that Philadelphia Inquirer reported that the producer fired the supporting actress and reworked the scenes. My reading of the draft is that a reliable source says that production started.
My follow-up question is whether the guideline on future films should be rearranged somewhat. The first paragraph says that films are not notable until principal photography begins. The third paragraph then says that films that are in production are only notable if the production itself is notable. This may cause editors to think that the start of production is more important than it is, when what is usually important is theatrical release.

I noticed the wiki page for Grammonota texana does not have an image for the taxobox. I happen to have an image of a specimen that I took and was planning to upload it to Commons/add it to the taxobox. The image is of a preserved specimen and does not show the entire body, only a side view of the carapace. I figured this was the best image to use as the shape of the modified carapace in this genus, from a lateral view, is diagnostic in terms of its ID.
Is there any issue with using an image of part of a creature's body, provided it emphasizes a helpful morphological feature, such as in this case? Teal Reverie ( talk) 23:12, 7 October 2020 (UTC)

Long time reader, new member. I had an auto-pay set up to support the site monthly (go team!). But one day I clicked edit on whatever it was I was reading, just to see what would happen, and saw that I had been banned from editing?! I think I was even labeled? Idk. It's been some time ago by now, and I really didn't think to lean into it, never even looked around for where to inquire. Just cancelled my auto-pay & kept it moving, until the donate notice popped up today & jogged my memory.
I have no idea if this is the right place to ask, but I'm just curious about it. I don't submit anything here or wish to, but I did see a discrepancy that one time and was moved to see about a correction when I noticed the ban. Guess I must've felt a way since I canceled the donation, but I didn't see the logic in sending money each month to a place where I couldn't even get a notice or inquiry about whatever infraction I committed.
Anyways, hiiii *waves* banned newbie here!

Hi there. I have access to STOR, which is a good source (I think) of scholarly citations. JSTOR has a nifty "cite this item" button, which, when you press it for a given article, generates citations in MLA, Chicago, and APA styles. I see some wiki entries about a discontinues cite jstor tool. Are there are tools that make it simply pasting an entire citation into an article rather than cutting and pasting from one source into the journal template fields? Thanks.

First of all, thank you for the feedback. I do not have any conflict of interest in the creation of the article nor I have been paid to create it, and this is not the only article I have worked on as you mentioned. I did translate the English article of Sharan Burrow (
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharan_Burrow) into Spanish Wikipedia. I wanted to do the same thing with Angelo Cardona's article but I am not allowed to translate from Wikipedia Spanish into English yet. I am just learning how is the process of translating in multiple Wikipedias as I will be interested in translating articles in the future from one Wiki to another, any suggestions? lastly, about wiki data entries, well I have just copied the code from a different article and pasted into the one I was creating and then replaced the information accordingly. --

I have a link that is constantly changing. I don't know how to explain it, as I am not remotely technical. This is the link that is working for me right now but this is the link that was working when I wrote the article. I think it has something to do with the "temparales" (temporary) in the title. Trying to save it to Wayback results in a 404 warning. To find the link, I searched "Ex Legisladora Alba Roballo (Homenaje)", 4 September 2018 and the correct result comes up as Diario 4183_S037DEFINITIVO - Parlamento. Can someone assist me in formatting this so that it remains a permanent link? Is there a way that it can be archived? It is a critical reference for the article. Thanks!

Hello, I hope everything is fine. I have one question about content on the list [List of largest empires], I went to search more about the content of Portuguese Empire, and in the list is wrong, and they recently changed. First of all, there is to say that Portugal controlled approximately 5.5% of Brazil, so there it is wrong Exist one map from (1821) portrays the dimension of Brazil at the time under the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and Algarves, (Source): National Library of Portugal, Portuguese Republic, "Exhibition": http://purl.pt/ 880/3 / General Website: http://www.bnportugal.gov.pt and also see in wikimedia https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Império_Português#/media/Ficheiro:Brasil_1821_-_América_Portuguesa.jpg there is even a book with the area (source) Society and Education in Brazil By Robert J. Havighurst, J. Roberto Moreira (link) https://books.google.pt/books?id=u65BLiP8qXEC&pg=PA60&dq=Portuguese+Empire+kilometers+km2&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiwmaLZxaDsAhWbA2MBHdzLDr8Q6AEwBXoECAYQAg%20202020 = false I did a study by Jesse H. Ausubel and his studies are very good and supported by several people and entities. He studied not only empires, but several studies related to the humanities. "From 1989 to 1993, he served as director of studies for the Carnegie Commission on Science, Technology, and Government, which aimed to improve the use of scientific experience in the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the US government, as well as in international organizations. Mr. Ausubel was the main organizer of the first UN World Climate Conference (Geneva, 1979), which raised the issue of global warming substantially on the scientific and political agendas. "
is also a joint project with International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis and Rockefeller University. they even wrote an academic manual - link: https://phe.rockefeller.edu/docs/empires_booklet.pdf In other words, it is a project that involves, human sciences, history and statistical analysis ...
Jesse H. Ausubel besides the project being his. in addition to these various projects, including empires, he is also a scientist and the journal the The New York Times even mentioned him in some discoveries he made https://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/26/science/26ausubel .html he says there that the Portuguese empire reached 13.4 million km2, and sees an empire as a whole.
I also carried out another study of the famous "Zbigniew Brzezinski" that can be used in the area of the second Portuguese empire in the list (10.4million km2)
"Strategic Vision: America and the Crisis of Global Power By Zbigniew Brzezinski - link: https://books.google.pt/books?id=u65BLiP8qXEC&pg=PA60&dq=Portuguese+Empire+kilometers+km2&hl=pt-PT&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiwmaLZxaDsAhWbA2MBHdzLDr8Q6AEwBXoECAYQAg#v=onepage&q=81%2F2%20million%20square%20kilometers&f=false
I think there are well-known sources here and realible sources, for the empire to be changed on the list. Thank you!! Best Regards.

I often use wikipedia while translating and notice missing links between two languages, but I had trouble finding a guide on how to edit this links (a simple link to a help page would be enough for this). I also noticed that some of the pages with a missing link are both linked to the english wikipedia (the same could be true for other languages). This doesn't always mean a new link is appropriate, but suggests this task would benefit from some kind of automation and I was wondering if there are already tools for this or what would be the best place to suggest their introduction.

Hello,
Hope you're doing well. I have a question about when material from academics meets the standard for being reliable. It seems clear to me from WP:RS that peer-reviewed academic papers do qualify, whereas self-published material (even from an academic) doesn't qualify. This leaves a grey area in between though that is neither peer-reviewed nor self-published. To give three examples:
My question isn't the reliability of these particular examples, but rather how to decide if a source is acceptable where Wikipedia's guidelines aren't specific. Thanks! Gazelle55 ( talk) 00:01, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
whereas self-published material (even from an academic) doesn't qualifyis always the case per WP:SELFPUB, WP:BLPSPS, WP:BLPSELFPUB, WP:CITESELF or even WP:EXPERT; "self-published" sources may be acceptable in some cases depending on WP:RSCONTEXT. As for disagreements over whether a source from an academic is reliable, that's something that sometimes can be resolved through WP:DISCUSS or and noticeboard like WP:RSN. If the academic is a well-respected peer in their field, then in some cases the things they self-publish might be considered reliable in certain contexts if properly attributed as such. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 01:25, 10 October 2020 (UTC)
