I am translating from the French wikipedia here, and I am not sure how I should translate the reference list. Most of the references look like they're from French language reference books that I doubt would have English equivalents. Any advice? Night S H I F T (49) (talk) 19:30, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Draft:Surfing etiquette
Hi Wikipedia editors, I submitted the Surf Etiquette article, and it was denied as a "How to" article. I had reviewed all the writing rules and format.
My question is if I am able to find historical reference (chronological dates of certain rules posted, legal cases, articles and books) will this be adequate to add to the article and be published?
Why do I think this information is necessary. Surfing is seen an explosion of interest, growth and expansion. Yet, there is really no "written" rules outside of magazine or online articles regarding these surf rules-of-the-road. I've seen and experienced more rules broken these last three months than in the last 6 years.
Thank you, Lisa H. Navymom9194 ( talk) 03:17, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
Maybe something around this length? Thank you!

An article which I wrote was declined. [ [1]]. This person was not considered "notable." They were a prominent model in the 1980s, having been on the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine three times, being the subject of four full pages in Francesco Scavullo's 1982 book "Women," appeared on tv talk shows, being notably young to be on the cover of a magazine as referenced in an issue of New York Magazine, and having two articles in the Philadelphia Inquirer written about them. Additionally, they were given the first offer to appear as the main actress in the 1980 eight time Academy Award nominated Martin Scorsese film Raging Bull, though this is not readily verifiable.

Hi there, I'm writing a biography page for an international artist and designer, and I'm unsure of how many sources I will need to support the article. Do I need sources for every piece of information? Or just a minimum of three sources? Would interviews count as reliable sources?

If I'm using a long source to support multiple sections within a Wikipedia article and I would like to use the quote, page, or chapter parameters to indicate where and what I'm citing how would I do it correctly. For instance, what if I use the quote parameter, but there are two different quotes I want to use, one for each section. Do I create an entirely new reference/citation?

I tried to write an article but was told that i should edit the original psilocybe cubensis article putting Jamiscus cubensis as a subsepecies.

It has recently become fashionable to capitalize "Black" where it refers to race, which also has predictably sparked a countertrend to capitalize "White" in similar circumstances.

"only words and phrases that are consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources are capitalized in Wikipedia". I assume that's not the case yet, but if you find majority of top sources have started doing it consistently, you could start a discussion at the talk page of that page. It has close to 400 watchers, so someone should answer. Best, Usedtobecool ☎️ 16:08, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi guys, I'm new to Wikipedia, but have a few pages I'd like to try and tackle in the near future.

I am trying to update the "Coverage of Google Street View" page, I am researching information regarding the new location additions. At the moment, I have found this image, whose information is represented in blue lines and red lines on a map of the world. The blue lines represent the existing Street View and the red lines represent the new Street View. In this image the red lines are in different parts of the world, including Turkey, which shows several red dots representing the urban centers of the cities or towns of Gaziantep, İslâhiye, Nizip, Birecik, Sanliurfa, Siverek and Viranşehir. The process and result of these comparisons is explained on this page, in which it works by comparing different Google Street View "snapshots". My question, can this image count as a valid source to add the information of these places to the article?-- JSeb05 ( talk) 20:10, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
Hello! I have a question regarding a request made by my internship. My supervisors want pages created for themselves, but I feel like I run into a wall each time I attempt to create it.

I am developing a mobile app, where I show different flowers to user. I want to get data from Wikipedia to show some info about them as well. However I don't know how to properly cite the text. I get it from Wikipedia API, so pre-writing the citations is not an option (I don't know which flower the users will see and there is too much of them).
Question: Is there a universal way of writing citations for Wikipedia articles in mobile app that I can write under every data about flower? (e.g. "Data was taken from Wikipedia") Or is the citation different for every atricle? In that case is there a way to get a citation from Wikipedia API as I get the text about flower? (so that I could get a citation text and add it to the info text)
P.S. I read a lot of citing info about Wikipedia, but it's just to information for me. That's why I am asking here. 90.157.166.45 ( talk) 18:05, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
Hey, it's HelenDegenerate again. For the past few days, I've been patrolling the Recent Changes and reverting vandalism, using the User Warning templates each time. I notice that there are multiple levels of warnings. The page said that you could skip levels if needed. This is going to sound silly, but is that true? Since I've been done it for a few really destructive vandals, I'd love to be sure I won't get into trouble for it. HelenDegenerate ( talk) 23:01, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Hi :) I really need help. I'm in college and I was assigned to write about a person of my choice and I get major extra credit for contributing to wikipedia page for that person, but my teacher said she'd give me more if I created this page for an artist who I believe is established but he's not mainstream. Anyways, I went about this the totally wrong way. I thought it would help to make the artist's name my user name and even created a gmail so I can show my teacher the steps I took. I was overthinking everything. Anyways - my page keeps getting declined. I've come this far on research on this music artist and I could really use that extra credit.
I've made edits to the page, viewable here: /info/en/?search=Draft:Lydell_Birch
I've made sure to only use publications from interviews I could find on the web, and took out any links to his website that I used as sources. I believe it's set and ready. I've already ready resubmitted it today.
Can anyone give me any feedback on how it currently is...Should I start over with a new account maybe? I'm so lost and I need to have this finished before my semester ends and I could just cry. Any advice is truly appreciated. Please and thank you ~ Meagan Beamer.Backdrop ( talk) 23:08, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
Hello,
I am trying to understand if content related to both a living person and the organization they are part of should be placed on both articles.
In particular, I've made quite a few edits to Max Schrems. Over time I began to realize that most of my edits might be better suited under NOYB, as they are related to court cases through NOYB (Schrems co founded NOYB). However, when the public hears about these cases, they hear about Schrems first, which is why I originally placed all the case related info on Schrems' bio, and its also work he takes part in. My intuition says that the Schrems page should have a brief summarization of the work NOYB does, but not the somewhat in depth examination of the court cases (that my edits and other edits have added); the in depth examination might be best suited for noyb, as Schrems and others directly take part in the court cases through noyb.
Insight is greatly appreciated. MrSirGuyFriendBuddyOlPal ( talk) 05:21, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
