A few minutes ago I asked for help here. It was quickly and efficiently given. Thanks! I came here because I could not work out how to use the Help section.

This is regarding the celebrity list that many newspapers and magazines publish annually, e.g. Most Desirable Men, Most Desirable Women, etc. Though these types of lists are being mentioned in the media section of many living people but still want a brief explanation and clarification about that can such lists be included on personality's article?

I am Jody Stecher, the subject of a Wikipedia page I did not create. I have looked at the page once every 2 years or so and I see that people keep removing misinformation and replacing with different misinformation. I have never interfered before. But the replacing of the correct spelling of my name with a wrong spelling has provoked me to interfere. My birth name is Jonathan Allan Stecher, not Johnathan Allen Stecher. I cannot work out how to correct it. Can someone tell me —in plain non-technical English - how to correct the spelling at the top of the page where there is no apparent edit option.

I noticed on the Grand Prix Motorcycle Racing page the Infobox lists NTS as a Moto2 GP constructor. The mention is RED therefore there is no presumed article for the company.
I was in the process of commencing a draft article for NTS CO., LTD until I came across an existing obscure article hosted by Wikipedia. How does one go around updating infoboxes so that the company mention is linked to the page?
Please see summary of details below.

Hello,
I added vernacular name to Sacoglottis gabonensis and the references for them. However, the reference list keeps switching up references 1 & 2 in the order of the text (it does have the appropriate attributions, but the order in the text is 2, then 1). I tried fixing it, but upon saving, it went back to being out of order. How does one fix this?

I came across this article on the Tigray Defense Forces and it seriously broken. The facts on the page may be true but it is not using an impassionate and unbiased voice that is appropriate to an encyclopedia. The most notable example of this is where it attributes the motives of the Tigray Defense Forces (TDF) to the Ethiopian government's alleged actions. It sounds like a propaganda piece not an encyclopedia. Example from the Wiki article:
"The Ethiopian government’s scorched earth strategy in Tigray has all but ensured the alienation of most Tigrayans."
I have no skin in this conflict and landed on the page trying to understand what is going in Ethiopia. I am not established as editor so I am locked out of trying my hand at fixing it. Frankly I agree that an article describing an ongoing armed conflict probably ought to be locked. But it also should not be a propaganda tool for one side. It seems like someone with the right access should at least flag the article for having bias in the language. Quant0110 ( talk) 03:48, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

I am currently working on cleaning up the bare url citations on the L.A. Paul article.

I was looking at recent changes using wikiloop-doublecheck and I found 2 edits on the page Tekhelet made by the same user. The edits both appear to be good faith, however the tone they are written in doesn't seem normal for a wikipedia article, as well as some statements appearing to not be properly sourced or referenced. I would revert, but the edits, especially the first one, look like they took a long time, so I'm wondering if leaving as-is or trying to edit the page to better fit wikipedia's style would be better? Many Many thanks. DirkJandeGeer ( talk) 17:57, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi all,
I am very new to wikipedia as a contributor and have to say it´s very compplicated as a newcomer. I used the past few days to practise in my sandbox and tried to read up as much on how to use wikipedia as I can.. I actually wanted to go on with this a bit longer, but now I accidentally created a premature Draft (several tabs opened and thought I was still in my sandbox when I hit save changes) which still has several issues and am not sure how to delete it. I am very sorry. But now as it is already out there, maybe I can use it to get some help.

How do you merge cells on a table? 108.88.82.1 ( talk) 14:34, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
|colspan=n | content
. Similarly, you can create cells that stretch over two or more rows. This requires |rowspan=m | content
. In the table code, you must leave out the cells that are covered by such a span. The resulting column- and row-counting must fit. More at

Hi, I want to join cells for writers in episodes that follow each other so I can make it easier to read. There's also a conflict with this template and the info box which make the episode box way lower than it needs to be. Can anyone help me? Shexantidote ( talk) 18:56, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
|total_width=auto
in {{Episode table}}
to make it fit to the left of the infobox but when it's more narrow, the cells will get more line wraps and the table will be longer. I don't think editors of the English Wikipedia would like it. I don't know the Portuguese Wikipedia. You could also shorten the infobox or add more content before the episode table.

Hi TeaHouse! Thanks for the opportunity to ask for help, I would have some questions:
1. With the help of the Edit source, I wanted to provide János Grimm’s existing wikipedia page with more information and a few sentences about a member of my family, the long-deceased athlete. There is little data on Wikipedia, the links are good, I note I can’t write a link because my information is from my grandmother, but the ClueBot NG Vandalism automated computer program withdrew my edit. I edited this, I didn’t commit vandalism, my writing was constructive, so I tried to type in the restoration of vandalism. I can see that the word reverted was included in all my editing attempts when I viewed my View history. I can't go wrong with that anymore, can I? 2. I edited the page yesterday, today there is only the original text on the page, the extra information I entered is gone, does that mean that what I edited is no longer there? How do I enter data for retention? 3. I created an account, but what I edited earlier showed my IP address instead of my name. Is there anything I can do to rewrite this in my name, if so, how do I do it or leave it that way? Could this be a problem? 4. What is even more interesting is that the English text still appears correctly, but if I translate it into Hungarian, the text He competed in two events at the 1924 Summer Olympics will disappear. Can this be solved in any way? 5. Please don’t be angry at my question: do I have to pay for your help because your help involves a lot of work, I calm down because I can get help.
I know I wrote many questions at once, but I want to ask for help because you’re a professional at this, I’m worried about everything, I don’t want to do bad or wrong.

There's this user named EverestMachine 4001 who has been regularly editing articles involving the Talking Tom & Friends franchise, and is usually constructive. Over the past 2/3 days, I reverted edits at List of Talking Tom & Friends (TV series) episodes that claimed that an upcoming episode would air on 26 November because there was no proof anywhere. I also explained that the information wouldn't be accepted per WP:VERIFIABILITY twice, but the third attempt to reinsert the information included what seems to be a personal attack by Everest (icehole = asshole if you change the pronunciation slightly). The edit summaries are as follows:
I am aware that this could be considered to be an edit war in which I am involved, but I am also not sure about how I should deal with this editor (or whether I even have the time to deal with them) since edit warring is not the only issue. I don't believe this incident is serious enough to warrant a block, but I have noticed that Everest also seems to not actually understand many notices on their talk page (like this one by me from last month, judging by their response, or most of c:User talk:EverestMachine 4001). So what should be done here (hopefully it's not going to be a block)? In short, Everest seems to not correctly understand talk page notices, loses temper when repeatedly reverted, and clearly insisted on retaining unconfirmed information even after I pointed to WP:VERIFIABILITY.

I ran into a roadblock when I realized that there's a significant drought in secondary sources, let alone ones with editorial integrity. My only independent leads were an article written by a small blog [2] and a car interview by a microscopic YouTube channel. [3]
This band partially meets notability requirements by maintaining a fanbase and prolonged interest in its music, however given the lack of reliable independent sources, I'm conflicted on whether I should make an article about them. Thoughts?

(outdent) A doi link of the format doi:123 can consistently converted into a url as https://doi.org/123. I am not sure if there are consistent conventions re Chapter DOI's, but if you had to do only one link, it will still lead to the larger book/publication and as a rule of thumb, the more precise, the better. The suggestion above of a chapter url is great. This was a really interesting question, thank you! ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 17:29, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello friends! I'm very new to Wikipedia and really enjoying editing. I'm curious about the use of social media, Instagram in particular, as a source for information. I recognize that social media can be sketchy at best, but in my attempt to make an article for Club Quarantine, I've found myself citing Instagram as the only source for certain pieces of information. Perhaps I need to review certain items relating to sourcing or what qualifies for an article - if so please provide the appropriate links. Generally, I'm curious to discuss Instagram or other social media platforms as citations - are there instances where this is ideal? What sort of Instagram posts could/can be cited? Thanks for reading, and I look forward to reading your thoughts. Pteridaceae ( talk) 02:41, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

I was about to ask for the revocation of rollback rights due to having concerns that the lag I am experiencing when using the web browser version of Wikipedia may cause accidental clicks of the rollback function when browsing the history logs of articles. The problem is that, by default, the rollback function is lacking a preview mode/confirmation dialog that would prevent such accidents when there is a lag. Therefore, and until these web browser performance issues are addressed, I am trying to find a solution to this. While reading this page here: [4], it came to my notice that there is a script created exactly for this purpose: [5] and I just followed the instructions and created this here: [6] but, this is unusual for me, I am not sure I did right, or if I have missed something. Does really the Wikipedia Project function that way? By creating new pages just to configure the behavior of a gadget for a certain user?

I live in Seattle and vote. As such, I research people running for office in any way I can. I noticed that Nikkita Oliver- who recently lost another election here- has a wikipedia article but Sara Nelson- who is now the winner of the election for Seattle City Council- is not represented in Wikipedia. Since Sara's name is potentially more common, I did try to make sure that I just didn't see her, but indeed all the Sara Nelson's listed on Wikipedia are someone else.
I read the guidelines for a biography and I read Nikkita Oliver's biography. She is not notable. There is nothing in her accomplishments that is notable. For example, her claim to be a leader in BLM is at best questionable. Many people have made that claim only to have others in the movement dispute it. For example, she live-streamed a conversation with city officials and that is notable? It sounds vaguely illegal to me if done without their consent, and a form of trying to entrap or catch people saying something that could be interpreted out of context in a bad way. Many people in Seattle have run for office and failed and many people have contacted city officials to enact change. If all those people were listed that would be fair. I know people who waited in line for hours to address the city council but were not granted that request. The fact that Nikkita got the privilege of meeting with officials and gets the privilege of press coverage is truly unfair. The idea that she has done something notable is not borne out by the facts. My question is- why is Nikkita Oliver listed at all in Wikipedia? How do I nominate someone to be removed from Wikipedia. Ruth Berge 19:21, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

21:42, 9 November 2021 (UTC)I would like to help clean up the Diana Nyad WP entry, but I'm not sure where to start or even if I ought to. I'd very much appreciate some guidance.
I have devoted much of the last six years to unearthing information about Nyad's career. Much of what I've found can be unflattering to her. I have lots of opinions about Nyad. However, I have no interest in sharing those opinions in the edits. I'd just like to help get things right. The facts need no help from me.
Still, if I edited her page, would that be considered a conflict of interest? Here are my two Nyad sites:
Here are a few (but not the only) examples of problems in the introductory paragraph of the Diana Nyad entry:
Two problems from the first paragraph of "Early Life and Education," and then I'll stop.

Hello, my name is Uma Sori and I am originally from Monrovia and am a direct descendant of Prince Abdulrahman Ibrahim Sori (Prince Sori). I was privileged to meet two of my cousins from the United States at an event honoring my Great Great Grandfather Prince Sori. A reference to this event can be found in the documentary "A Prince Among Slaves". I have tried numerous times to add the names of my cousins Dr. Artumus Gaye the son of the famous football(soccer Player Bourba Gaye and who was also shown in the movie with Karen Chatman. In the year 2018 Gaye and Chatman both met with the leaders of Morocco, Monrovia, and the United States Congressional office stating their claims of Royal lineage. Although no Government such as the US where Chatman is a citizen can demand a Title; she was recognized as an Heir to Prince Sori and as his direct descendent along with Gaye.
My intent was to create individual pages for Gaye and Chatman as they are leading the initiative of informing the world of Prince Sori's story and existence. Black American history is often not documented or committed from the history books. I would like this community to assist me with the correct way to reference both Gaye and Chatman to ensure our family legacy is not lost.
I thank all readers and contributors, it was not my intent to take over or add erroneous facts, but the stories are ours to tell as my family and my US family from Natchez were left behind as Prince Sori sailed to freedom unable to take what he loved most with him.
Please assist me if possible. Uma Sori 2600:1700:FB5:81B0:606D:4611:7EC5:8447 ( talk) 01:39, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

I work for The Violin Channel, so want to flag this and ensure I am not breaching anything.
We did this video interview with Blake Pouliot and he said in it: "I'm absolutely obsessed with Ella Fitzgerald". I think this is a very interesting fact about his character, with him being an accomplished classical musician, and would like to add it to his article and and cite that point in the video.
Wiki: /info/en/?search=Blake_Pouliot Youtube video where he says it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buXFVAASHQQ (at 19 seconds).

I recently wrote my first article. I did not understand notability, encyclopedic style and a lot of other things and after a lot of feedback I managed to develop the article to a point where it got accepted. I noticed that after it got accepted, parts of my article which was already there before the article acceptance was removed by citing promotional fluff. And now I've got a twinkle tag for the article being promotional. (I haven't add anything to it for a long time before I left it to review)
Where do we draw the line between being promotional vs factual? Is there something concrete we can bank on?

While I have not come across any of these, I believe some may exist. There might be some articles that are old and forgotten (don't ask me how), and the last edit was over years ago. And it might have spelling errors, or maybe you just want to help and improve it. Either way, the page is protected, and you can't edit it to do whatever. So what would you do if this happened?

Hello. I've come across edits to my work, deletion of content, in an article that are not called for and seem to reflect in the short explanations of why they were made a lack of in-depth knowledge of the particular subject matter by the editor. I don't mean that unkindly, but the information that is deleted is based on documented and published research that is new to the larger subject matter. I can go through the deletions and Undo them (though the deletions were not accompanied by deletion of related footnotes and the whole reference section is out of sync), but the reasons for my Undos can't be simply explained in short descriptions, nor do they lend themselves to the larger subject matter without taking the article off track.
I can find no way of directly addressing the editor involved, and I suppose that I could just Undo the problem without explanation, but that would invite starting the process all over again.
Advice? Or a method I'm not aware of. I've gone through the deletions and documented the deleted material to be restored for my own purposes, but it's a several page document which I will retain in my file for this article.

Dear all, A few days now I have some trouble with a member of this society with a page on this English site, the page is Xiaocao'ezhen (or Xiaocao'e), the name of a town in China. Communication is a problem and I have sugested to talk over the talkpage, but that does not work up till now. What are the rules for naming a city, town or village on this Wikipedia site? Where can I find the real name as prove of authenticity? JCBS ( talk) 12:38, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
镇mean "town" or "village"? It's possible that it's not included in English when being translated because of that. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 16:27, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
镇means town, 小曹娥镇 translation is "Small Cao E town". It can be that the town part does not count in English, I do not know. Small Cao E is a young girl of 13 years old, for me the term "zhen" (town) belongs in the name of the town, you can't apart them. Looks rather silly if you say you are in Small Cao E, there must be a further explanation with town. But I am no debater and will end the discussion and leave the page as he want to have it, without town in the title JCBS ( talk) 18:10, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Teahouse, Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures is a streaming TV series which thus uses the "Infobox television" template. But I looked across the "last_aired" parameter and it stated that "If such a program has not aired a new episode in 12 months, "present" can be changed to the date the last episode aired, using the "End date" template. Why then do I see "present" on its infobox when the series ended more than the said "12 months" prior/earlier, i.e. on April 12, 2020? The films/movies derived from it (which are stated in this section) are spin-offs from that series. Fooliard ( talk) 16:16, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

The main source for the first two sections ("Divisions" and "Subdivisions") of the article " Great chain of being" is

Worse, the vast majority of the material there isn't directly attributed. So this snake is swallowing its own tail with a vengeance.

To see whether the material originates there, I picked the sentence "In the family, the father is head of the household; below him, his wife; below her, their children" and tried fulltext searches in that work for the whole thing and then for each of the nouns, "family", "father", "head", "household", "wife", "children", to no avail at all.

You created Draft:Dr. Deepak Agrawal on 4 September 2021. But after submitting for review on the same day, it was declined; didn't accepted. The draft was declined because this articles doesn't meet with WP:NBIO guideline. People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published [1] secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, [2] and independent of the subject.
Some of the sources you mentioned are reliable, secondary, independent, but not in significant coverage.
You can create this article if it meets with the above criteria. Otherwise not.

So you should request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

Hello:
I am a seasoned professional editor, but have only once made a contribution to over six years ago and it was a very brief addition to an existing article. I am now trying to turn a stub into a fully realized profile of over 2,000 words and while trying to do this on the fly in the midst of my efforts, I was directed to a lengthy troubling and complicated notices.

Hi! I am quite a newcomer to Wikipedia, and I would like to know the opinion of experienced editors on this topic.

Hi! I was trying to do some simple edits for practice and was looking to add some links to an underlinked article. I came across the article Menlo Report and on reading through just the first couple of paragraphs thought that the language used was a bit off. I noticed the use of "we expect" in one sentence, which made me suspect it had been copied & pasted from somewhere. When I copy and pasted that sentence into Google, it came up with the actual Menlo Report [9], and I noticed that someone had indeed copied & pasted directly from the Executive Summary of this report in their construction of the intro to this Wiki article.
So, my question is, what would my next step in correcting this be? Or how do I indicate my suspicions to a more experienced editor (other than in here, I suppose, but I suspect that there's a dedicated space for this)? Pteridaceae ( talk) 04:42, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedians,
When I first published my 2nd Wikipedia article, I forgot to link the English page to the Japanese text and also the categories cited at the end of the article. Hence this notice appeared -
>This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. >Please introduce links to this page from related articles; try the Find link tool for suggestions. >(November 2021)
I have rectified the problems mentioned over a week ago, but lack authorization to remove this nag message. How can that nag message be removed? (I understand the value of the message, but do not know how to delete the message after the request has been fulfilled.)
Also, for my 4th Wikipedia article, I tried to move the article from the Sandbox to the Wikipedia Main Article page, but the article got stuck here:
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Mother_Farm
How can the article be moved from "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mother_Farm" directly to "en.wikipedia.org/Mother_Farm"? (After it is in the Main Article page I will add the links to the Japanese page and the relevant categories.)
Thank you for your kind advice about these two questions

I have spent several hours going through the various policy, pump, practices, etc. pages of the Wikipedia editor universe without success in getting close to an answer to this question: are there rules, mores, active discussions that can be used as guides for the citation by authors of their own traditionally published books written to academic standards and accepted as authoritative by their readership. My reading of it is that there are not, which would be in keeping with the “there are no rules” and “good faith” sentiments I saw on one of the Wikipedia guide pages I came across today. That was the answer when I asked the question of this good group several months ago. But in my experience as an editor and originator on Wikipedia and an active book author since then something more concrete is needed. I would very much appreciate any direction on how to get to, or initiate, firm guidance on the topic. Thank you.

When citing a source for what someone said about something, but you don’t want to put the entire thing they said do you do it like this ... ? For example Sioux City Journal says at the beginning of their article, “You can’t find a better friend than Sheriff Woody.” Than later at the end of their article is says, “ The ultimate toy? That’s Woody – loyal, dependable, trustworthy and steadfast.” So would I put it like this, “You can’t find a better friend than Sheriff Woody... The ultimate toy? That’s Woody – loyal, dependable, trustworthy and steadfast.”
Second question is Sioux City Journal considered a Journal or News when adding a citation for it. Kaleeb18 ( talk) 13:59, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedian community:
I've just joined Wikipedia and I wish to write a separate article on "Autism in China".
I wish to do this because on Wikipedia, there's only a few sentences of information about the situation of autistic people in China, and Asia in general (check the section "Asia" in the article "Global perceptions of autism"" /info/en/?search=Global_perceptions_of_autism)
Therefore, I think it will be beneficial for others if I start an article. But I wonder about the community perspective if it's a notable topic to warrant a separate article before going. Thanks!

My question is prompted by looking at the talk page here [13], which shows that the article is "stub class". It sure doesn't look like a stub to me. An editor recently filled out this article and their edit comment indicates they removed the stub designation (from the article itself, I assume), but it's still listed as a stub on the talk page under various WikiProjects. I'm not sure whether I should remove that in this case and similar cases, following the assumption that it wasn't done before simply because the other editor forgot to, or whether articles are supposed to keep these tags until someone from the relevant WikiProject has come around to check on them. asilvering ( talk) 19:58, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

A user reverted my edited and wrote on my talk page, “It's not clear to me on what basis you categorized this as a 'father and son' film, especially as I don't see any real discussion of that dynamic in the article.” When I replied that it’s public knowledge the film centers on father and son relationships, the user claimed that my application of film categories based on the plot description and poster rather than any sources qualifies as “original research.” I’ve only been editing articles here for about a year, but does adding a film to a category when the article’s own plot description contains the elements of that category count as “original research”? I don’t place films in categories if they do not fit the described category.

Hi, I submitted a draft page on a typographical journal on 11 August. /info/en/?search=Draft:Signature_(typography_journal) I was delighted and grateful that someone looked at it right away, and gave useful feedback, while declining it in its current form. Having re-worked the article to get all the relevant references in and deal with the comments I've now waited three months and no one has looked at the rewritten version. I understand that everyone is busy and has other priorities etc. but I'm intrigued as a newbie that the first draft got looked at immediately -rejected- then the follow-up article doesn't get looked at all. I say this as my contribution was on a particular specialist subject not really covered in Wiki. I'm fascinated that the rejection of the original was so quick yet the follow-up piece seems to be ignored.

Hello,
I work for the Communications Team at Fortinet. We’ve been seeking help in improving the article about our company Fortinet because last December 2 user accounts that had made contributions in the past were flagged by a sock puppet investigation.
Although our team believes some employees have contributed edits to the article on their own over the years, earlier this year our executive team asked employees not to edit the article in an effort to allay the Wikipedia community's concerns. We have no way of identifying undisclosed past contributors. And given that outing editors is against Wikipedia policy, we see no reason to attempt to identify who the banned users were.
To help improve the article, I’ve published a proposed rewrite of the article in my sandbox. Our COI Edit Request is for Wikipedians to provide feedback on the proposed rewrite, in the hope that when an accepting consensus is formed, someone will publish the rewrite. Fortinet recognizes that it doesn’t own the Wikipedia article, and that we are not to exercise editorial control over it. We only hope to provide helpful information and to keep the page updated according to Wikipedia’s guidelines.
Is there anything else we can do to attract helpful editors who have no connection to our company? Would anyone here be willing to participate in the process to improve the article?
Thank you for your attention. JasmineLozanoFortinet ( talk) 22:02, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
Bold textIn regards to this post on George B Curtiss, /info/en/?search=George_B._Curtiss. I feel that Curtiss needs to be presented as a protectionist and a economic historian on the tariff concerning the Trans Atlantic world. This is all I wish to say George B Curtiss the protectionist and economic history was the writer of four economic works. He can be credited to having done a n extensive mapping out of the American System of Political Economy in his work, the Industrial Development of Nations. Curtiss was a honoary member of the American Protective Tariff League. At their bequest he wrote the pamphlet Abraham Lincoln Protectionist. Curtiss said in this piece "Washington introduced the American System of Protection to domestic labor and industry,and Lincoln aided in establishing and protecting that syste." reference is Abraham Lincoln Protectionist , George B Curtiss, New York, The American Protective Tariff League, 1916. I am sorry but him being a Protectionist is why he is a historical individual not because he is a lwyer. I feel as if the historians do not want to say some one is a protectionist and lead people on to treasures are fools gold because there are lot of protectionists on wikipedia. The people who put up these posts are indifferenct towards the subject. How do I make a reference? I may be forced to just list a name of protectionists , giving a concise briefing on the protectionist ways.
1.Moses W Field protectionist not accordinging to Wikipedia, 2.Thomas B Reed, protectionist, not according to Wikipedia, 3.Thomas Haines Dudley, his protectionist pieces are not included.

Edward Joy Morris protectionist not according to wikipedia 12 Luther Martin Kennet protectionist not according to wikipedia. 13. James Thompson McCleary, protectionist, not according to wikipedia 14. Abraham Lincoln protectionist gave a bevy of speeches on the tariff, but Wikipedia has an article sheds no light of his mastery of the tariff. 15. Andrew Stewart protectionist, not according to Wikipedia. All one has to do is read their speeches or books to arrive at the conclusion I made. The above men were protectionist. What we have here is a pattern of wikipedia sources that are inadequate. Wikiedia and her sources do not do the kind of research that will tell the story of the tariff. I have to conclude , they are indifferent. I will gladly do work they chose not to do. I just need to figure out how to reference things when I add on to wikipedia entries. One last thing political grave yard and the biographical directory for the United States Congress is not going to talk about protectionism. Protectionist like me will though.So again I ask how do I put up references so I can have these dead white men not turn in the graves for noot being seen as protectionist.

I have a question about a situation I have not come across before, is it a COI for an editor to add information to an article about a house that they own?

Is wikipedia used in which ways — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nidamour ( talk • contribs) 14:02, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
How does a person progress from being a user on Wikipedia and getting to an editor with more privileges? Just wondering if error rate is a criteria.
Wikipedia is common encyclopedia where all of us can make edits and people are open to constructively discuss and resolve differences. However, not everyone might use their time to discussing and resolving differences. They might rather want to use their time working on a new article. Or editing an article.
When there is no quality rating tied to an editor, they’ll be inadvertently making edits like removing valid sources or deleting content because they didn’t read the citation well. And now, they’re in a sense doing more harm than good to the content on Wikipedia.
The number of edits is a great metric but the quality of edits is of more importance. It is complicated to objectively measure quality of an edit. But error rate is relatively easier. If you make an edit and someone is able to state that it’s an error, then we have something to work with.
If we have an error rate attached to users, they’ll work harder at double-checking their edits. And probably users with a higher error rate shouldn’t be given more privileges because the consequences of their actions are far reaching. And it will also increase the quality of content and edits on wikipedia.
I’m sure there is some sort of mechanism that looks at user error rate. Just that I’m new and I’d love to know. Elenatina ( talk) 09:12, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

I do not write about the feeling of death, but news about the date of death from various objective sources, communicated externally, it is not an illusion, but a fact confirmed by several people. If there are such observations and it also devoted to scientific websites (eg sociological, medical, statistical) Why can not it be on Wikipedia? There are no rational reasons because it's a censorship ..

Basically all notable 1st party system camera lenses are listed in a table somewhere on Wikipedia. This is true for List of Minolta A-mount lenses, List of Sony E-mount lenses, Canon EF lens mount#List of EF lenses, etc, but (archived) List of Sony A-mount lenses was apparently deleted after just a week of deletion review without saving the list elsewhere. Furthermore the pathway to asking questions about the deletion is a long rabbit hole that ends in either asking the wikipedian that proposed the deletion on their talk page (which seems to discourage discussions about previous deletions on their talk page), the wikipedian which performed the actual deletion (who just followed apparent consensus) or taking it directly to WP:DRV. Neither of which seems like good options for what should be a trivial issue? Furthermore the talk page for List of Sony A-mount lenses has been deleted twice since the article was deleted, but there's no record of what the discussion was, even on archive.org . Now all pages which used to refer to the list instead refers to the archived page which in practice makes it impossible to improve the article.
What's the proper thing to do here, and is it supposed to be this overwhelming to figure out where to discuss the deletion? From what I can tell the archived version of the article was fairly well written and I can sort of understand the argument that it was poorly sourced, but since Wikipedia more or less forbids primary sources it's a bit of a paradox when the primary goal is a complete list of official lenses? The deletion also appears to be motivated by WP:NOTCATALOG but I think the introduction of the article had some good qualities and as noted above we already have lists of lenses for many other lens mounts.
The reason I went looking for the list in the first place was to see if there were any particularly interesting A-mount lenses, so I'd argue that if the article somehow ends up back on Wikipedia it could be improved with another few tables containing notable unofficial 3rd party lenses, like those made by Sigma and Tamron. In my opinion the A-mount was notable in many regards, since during its brief lifetime under Sony it got many features like a lens-integrated autofocus motor and AF-D (AFAIK it means using both the traditional small autofocus sensor and the imaging sensor to track focus). Sort of like a playground to see what was worth implementing in the E-mount, which at the time was under development for the upcoming mirrorless cameras. An alternative could be to add the lenses into the article about Sony α but that article is pretty long already.
At the very least I can't be the only one who finds the situation a bit awkward, right? MrPorpoise ( talk) 07:05, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
Of those, most lenses are optically, mechanically and electrically identical to their Minolta predecessors and differ only in their outer appearance. The deletion, in my view, was correct. We do not need lists of unnotable products offered by various corporations. If many of these lenses are independently notable, prove it, and then create a list.

The facts on the page may be true but it is not using an impassionate and unbiased voice that is appropriate to an encyclopedia. The most notable example of this is where it attributes the motives of the Tigray Defense Forces (TDF) to the Ethiopian government's alleged actions. It sounds like a propaganda piece not an encyclopedia. Example from the Wiki article:
"The Ethiopian government’s scorched earth strategy in Tigray has all but ensured the alienation of most Tigrayans."
I have no skin in this conflict and landed on the page trying to understand what is going in Ethiopia. I am not established as editor so I am locked out of trying my hand at fixing it. Frankly I agree that an article describing an ongoing armed conflict probably ought to be locked. But it also should not be a propaganda tool for one side. It seems like someone with the right access should at least flag the article for having bias in the language. Quant0110 ( talk) 03:48, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

The crew for this ISS expedition kept swapping commanders and new crew arriving and departing. It ends up the way we normally represent this information (see previous expeditions) doesn't seem to work very well this time and I'm trying to figure out a better way of reprsenting this information.

Hello,
I am currently working on cleaning up the bare url citations on the L.A. Paul article. I've come across a few instances where a previous editor has cited the fact that Paul has written a book, and the citation is just the book's page on the publisher's website. Is this necessary? can those "citations" just be deleted completely? Just wondering how best to go about this.

I was looking at recent changes using wikiloop-doublecheck and I found 2 edits on the page Tekhelet made by the same user. The edits both appear to be good faith, however the tone they are written in doesn't seem normal for a wikipedia article, as well as some statements appearing to not be properly sourced or referenced. I would revert, but the edits, especially the first one, look like they took a long time, so I'm wondering if leaving as-is or trying to edit the page to better fit wikipedia's style would be better? Many Many thanks. DirkJandeGeer ( talk) 17:57, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi all,
I am very new to wikipedia as a contributor and have to say it´s very compplicated as a newcomer. I used the past few days to practise in my sandbox and tried to read up as much on how to use wikipedia as I can.. I actually wanted to go on with this a bit longer, but now I accidentally created a premature Draft (several tabs opened and thought I was still in my sandbox when I hit save changes) which still has several issues and am not sure how to delete it. I am very sorry. But now as it is already out there, maybe I can use it to get some help.

|colspan=n | content
. Similarly, you can create cells that stretch over two or more rows. This requires |rowspan=m | content
. In the table code, you must leave out the cells that are covered by such a span. The resulting column- and row-counting must fit. More at

in {{Episode table}}
to make it fit to the left of the infobox but when it's more narrow, the cells will get more line wraps and the table will be longer. I don't think editors of the English Wikipedia would like it. I don't know the Portuguese Wikipedia. You could also shorten the infobox or add more content before the episode table.

Hi TeaHouse! Thanks for the opportunity to ask for help, I would have some questions:
1. With the help of the Edit source, I wanted to provide János Grimm’s existing wikipedia page with more information and a few sentences about a member of my family, the long-deceased athlete. There is little data on Wikipedia, the links are good, I note I can’t write a link because my information is from my grandmother, but the ClueBot NG Vandalism automated computer program withdrew my edit. I edited this, I didn’t commit vandalism, my writing was constructive, so I tried to type in the restoration of vandalism. I can see that the word reverted was included in all my editing attempts when I viewed my View history. I can't go wrong with that anymore, can I? 2. I edited the page yesterday, today there is only the original text on the page, the extra information I entered is gone, does that mean that what I edited is no longer there? How do I enter data for retention? 3. I created an account, but what I edited earlier showed my IP address instead of my name. Is there anything I can do to rewrite this in my name, if so, how do I do it or leave it that way? Could this be a problem? 4. What is even more interesting is that the English text still appears correctly, but if I translate it into Hungarian, the text He competed in two events at the 1924 Summer Olympics will disappear. Can this be solved in any way? 5. Please don’t be angry at my question: do I have to pay for your help because your help involves a lot of work, I calm down because I can get help.
I know I wrote many questions at once, but I want to ask for help because you’re a professional at this, I’m worried about everything, I don’t want to do bad or wrong.

There's this user named EverestMachine 4001 who has been regularly editing articles involving the Talking Tom & Friends franchise, and is usually constructive. Over the past 2/3 days, I reverted edits at List of Talking Tom & Friends (TV series) episodes that claimed that an upcoming episode would air on 26 November because there was no proof anywhere. I also explained that the information wouldn't be accepted per WP:VERIFIABILITY twice, but the third attempt to reinsert the information included what seems to be a personal attack by Everest (icehole = asshole if you change the pronunciation slightly). The edit summaries are as follows:
I am aware that this could be considered to be an edit war in which I am involved, but I am also not sure about how I should deal with this editor (or whether I even have the time to deal with them) since edit warring is not the only issue. I don't believe this incident is serious enough to warrant a block, but I have noticed that Everest also seems to not actually understand many notices on their talk page (like this one by me from last month, judging by their response, or most of c:User talk:EverestMachine 4001). So what should be done here (hopefully it's not going to be a block)? In short, Everest seems to not correctly understand talk page notices, loses temper when repeatedly reverted, and clearly insisted on retaining unconfirmed information even after I pointed to WP:VERIFIABILITY.

This band partially meets notability requirements by maintaining a fanbase and prolonged interest in its music, however given the lack of reliable independent sources, I'm conflicted on whether I should make an article about them. Thoughts?

Therefore, and until these web browser performance issues are addressed, I am trying to find a solution to this. While reading this page here: [4], it came to my notice that there is a script created exactly for this purpose: [5] and I just followed the instructions and created this here: [6] but, this is unusual for me, I am not sure I did right, or if I have missed something.

Since Sara's name is potentially more common, I did try to make sure that I just didn't see her, but indeed all the Sara Nelson's listed on Wikipedia are someone else.
I read the guidelines for a biography and I read Nikkita Oliver's biography. She is not notable. There is nothing in her accomplishments that is notable. For example, her claim to be a leader in BLM is at best questionable. Many people have made that claim only to have others in the movement dispute it. For example, she live-streamed a conversation with city officials and that is notable? It sounds vaguely illegal to me if done without their consent, and a form of trying to entrap or catch people saying something that could be interpreted out of context in a bad way. Many people in Seattle have run for office and failed and many people have contacted city officials to enact change. If all those people were listed that would be fair. I know people who waited in line for hours to address the city council but were not granted that request. The fact that Nikkita got the privilege of meeting with officials and gets the privilege of press coverage is truly unfair. The idea that she has done something notable is not borne out by the facts. My question is- why is Nikkita Oliver listed at all in Wikipedia? How do I nominate someone to be removed from Wikipedia. Ruth Berge 19:21, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
I actually have no experience with computers. I am ready to learn but finding it difficult to get a start. I am actually interested in research and would like to work with wiki with some companies that are affiliated with wiki I think. I don't know I was manic when it came across for me to read. I would like to research child predators and start a project to reach out to children and teens. Teach parents how to promote healing environment for them etc. But I'm guessing if there's already one you can point me in the right direction. I wouldn't mind editing and helping where I can. I've just spent most my life in the search for advancing myself for this purpose, I'd like to work in that arena 😅 Down4it4ever ( talk) 20:06, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

21:42, 9 November 2021 (UTC)I would like to help clean up the Diana Nyad WP entry, but I'm not sure where to start or even if I ought to. I'd very much appreciate some guidance.
I have devoted much of the last six years to unearthing information about Nyad's career. Much of what I've found can be unflattering to her. I have lots of opinions about Nyad. However, I have no interest in sharing those opinions in the edits. I'd just like to help get things right. The facts need no help from me.
Still, if I edited her page, would that be considered a conflict of interest? Here are my two Nyad sites:
Here are a few (but not the only) examples of problems in the introductory paragraph of the Diana Nyad entry:
Two problems from the first paragraph of "Early Life and Education," and then I'll stop.
So getting back to my original question: Would it be reasonable for me to begin editing Diana Nyad's entry?

Hello, my name is Uma Sori and I am originally from Monrovia and am a direct descendant of Prince Abdulrahman Ibrahim Sori (Prince Sori). I was privileged to meet two of my cousins from the United States at an event honoring my Great Great Grandfather Prince Sori. A reference to this event can be found in the documentary "A Prince Among Slaves". I have tried numerous times to add the names of my cousins Dr. Artumus Gaye the son of the famous football(soccer Player Bourba Gaye and who was also shown in the movie with Karen Chatman. In the year 2018 Gaye and Chatman both met with the leaders of Morocco, Monrovia, and the United States Congressional office stating their claims of Royal lineage. Although no Government such as the US where Chatman is a citizen can demand a Title; she was recognized as an Heir to Prince Sori and as his direct descendent along with Gaye.
My intent was to create individual pages for Gaye and Chatman as they are leading the initiative of informing the world of Prince Sori's story and existence. Black American history is often not documented or committed from the history books. I would like this community to assist me with the correct way to reference both Gaye and Chatman to ensure our family legacy is not lost.
I thank all readers and contributors, it was not my intent to take over or add erroneous facts, but the stories are ours to tell as my family and my US family from Natchez were left behind as Prince Sori sailed to freedom unable to take what he loved most with him.
Please assist me if possible. Uma Sori 2600:1700:FB5:81B0:606D:4611:7EC5:8447 ( talk) 01:39, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

I work for The Violin Channel, so want to flag this and ensure I am not breaching anything.
We did this video interview with Blake Pouliot and he said in it: "I'm absolutely obsessed with Ella Fitzgerald". I think this is a very interesting fact about his character, with him being an accomplished classical musician, and would like to add it to his article and and cite that point in the video.
Wiki: /info/en/?search=Blake_Pouliot Youtube video where he says it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buXFVAASHQQ (at 19 seconds).
The potential conflict is, this is a Violin Channel interview.
Blake does not work for us in any way, or has not, or never will pay us. I am also not doing this as a traffic driving exercise.

I recently wrote my first article. I did not understand notability, encyclopedic style and a lot of other things and after a lot of feedback I managed to develop the article to a point where it got accepted. I noticed that after it got accepted, parts of my article which was already there before the article acceptance was removed by citing promotional fluff. And now I've got a twinkle tag for the article being promotional. (I haven't add anything to it for a long time before I left it to review)
Where do we draw the line between being promotional vs factual? Is there something concrete we can bank on?

And it might have spelling errors, or maybe you just want to help and improve it. Either way, the page is protected, and you can't edit it to do whatever. So what would you do if this happened?

Hello. I've come across edits to my work, deletion of content, in an article that are not called for and seem to reflect in the short explanations of why they were made a lack of in-depth knowledge of the particular subject matter by the editor. I don't mean that unkindly, but the information that is deleted is based on documented and published research that is new to the larger subject matter. I can go through the deletions and Undo them (though the deletions were not accompanied by deletion of related footnotes and the whole reference section is out of sync), but the reasons for my Undos can't be simply explained in short descriptions, nor do they lend themselves to the larger subject matter without taking the article off track.
I can find no way of directly addressing the editor involved, and I suppose that I could just Undo the problem without explanation, but that would invite starting the process all over again.
Advice? Or a method I'm not aware of. I've gone through the deletions and documented the deleted material to be restored for my own purposes, but it's a several page document which I will retain in my file for this article.

Dear all, A few days now I have some trouble with a member of this society with a page on this English site, the page is Xiaocao'ezhen (or Xiaocao'e), the name of a town in China. Communication is a problem and I have sugested to talk over the talkpage, but that does not work up till now. What are the rules for naming a city, town or village on this Wikipedia site? Where can I find the real name as prove of authenticity? JCBS ( talk) 12:38, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
镇mean "town" or "village"? It's possible that it's not included in English when being translated because of that. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 16:27, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
镇means town, 小曹娥镇 translation is "Small Cao E town". It can be that the town part does not count in English, I do not know. Small Cao E is a young girl of 13 years old, for me the term "zhen" (town) belongs in the name of the town, you can't apart them. Looks rather silly if you say you are in Small Cao E, there must be a further explanation with town. But I am no debater and will end the discussion and leave the page as he want to have it, without town in the title JCBS ( talk) 18:10, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi Teahouse, Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures is a streaming TV series which thus uses the "Infobox television" template. But I looked across the "last_aired" parameter and it stated that "If such a program has not aired a new episode in 12 months, "present" can be changed to the date the last episode aired, using the "End date" template. Why then do I see "present" on its infobox when the series ended more than the said "12 months" prior/earlier, i.e. on April 12, 2020? The films/movies derived from it (which are stated in this section) are spin-offs from that series. Fooliard ( talk) 16:16, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

The main source for the first two sections ("Divisions" and "Subdivisions") of the article " Great chain of being" is
Unfortunately, said "WK 2011", from which both article and book quote liberally and literally, turns out to be the selfsame article " Great chain of being", in its 2011 incarnation (eg [8]). Worse, the vast majority of the material there isn't directly attributed. So this snake is swallowing its own tail with a vengeance.
Generally, the main source for that version seems to be
To see whether the material originates there, I picked the sentence "In the family, the father is head of the household; below him, his wife; below her, their children" and tried fulltext searches in that work for the whole thing and then for each of the nouns, "family", "father", "head", "household", "wife", "children", to no avail at all.

Hi! I was trying to do some simple edits for practice and was looking to add some links to an underlinked article. I came across the article Menlo Report and on reading through just the first couple of paragraphs thought that the language used was a bit off. I noticed the use of "we expect" in one sentence, which made me suspect it had been copied & pasted from somewhere. When I copy and pasted that sentence into Google, it came up with the actual Menlo Report [9], and I noticed that someone had indeed copied & pasted directly from the Executive Summary of this report in their construction of the intro to this Wiki article.
So, my question is, what would my next step in correcting this be? Or how do I indicate my suspicions to a more experienced editor (other than in here, I suppose, but I suspect that there's a dedicated space for this)? Pteridaceae ( talk) 04:42, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedians,
When I first published my 2nd Wikipedia article, I forgot to link the English page to the Japanese text and also the categories cited at the end of the article. Hence this notice appeared -
>This article is an orphan, as no other articles link to it. >Please introduce links to this page from related articles; try the Find link tool for suggestions. >(November 2021)
I have rectified the problems mentioned over a week ago, but lack authorization to remove this nag message. How can that nag message be removed? (I understand the value of the message, but do not know how to delete the message after the request has been fulfilled.)
Also, for my 4th Wikipedia article, I tried to move the article from the Sandbox to the Wikipedia Main Article page, but the article got stuck here:
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Mother_Farm
How can the article be moved from "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Mother_Farm" directly to "en.wikipedia.org/Mother_Farm"? (After it is in the Main Article page I will add the links to the Japanese page and the relevant categories.)
Thank you for your kind advice about these two questions

I have spent several hours going through the various policy, pump, practices, etc. pages of the Wikipedia editor universe without success in getting close to an answer to this question: are there rules, mores, active discussions that can be used as guides for the citation by authors of their own traditionally published books written to academic standards and accepted as authoritative by their readership. My reading of it is that there are not, which would be in keeping with the “there are no rules” and “good faith” sentiments I saw on one of the Wikipedia guide pages I came across today. That was the answer when I asked the question of this good group several months ago. But in my experience as an editor and originator on Wikipedia and an active book author since then something more concrete is needed. I would very much appreciate any direction on how to get to, or initiate, firm guidance on the topic. Thank you.

When citing a source for what someone said about something, but you don’t want to put the entire thing they said do you do it like this ... ? For example Sioux City Journal says at the beginning of their article, “You can’t find a better friend than Sheriff Woody.” Than later at the end of their article is says, “ The ultimate toy? That’s Woody – loyal, dependable, trustworthy and steadfast.” So would I put it like this, “You can’t find a better friend than Sheriff Woody... The ultimate toy? That’s Woody – loyal, dependable, trustworthy and steadfast.”
Second question is Sioux City Journal considered a Journal or News when adding a citation for it. Kaleeb18 ( talk) 13:59, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello! So in my second sandbox I'm currently working on improving the table that's currently on Euro Truck Simulator 2 and I'm not quite sure what I should do with the refs. They're originally there to prove specific parts of the description of the map DLC, however since I'm simplifying it to just show what countries were added/improved I've just been moving the citations to the end of the last country added. Would this be the best thing to do here or is there a better way to do this? ― Blaze The Wolf TalkBlaze Wolf#6545 15:37, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
The article on Clarks Landing, New Jersey, was recently changed to a redirect to the municipality containing it on the basis that there isn't a town there now, as the article previously claimed. I have found several sources ( [11] is the only one of these available online) which describe it as a town that used to exist but was abandoned near the end of the 18th century. Can I recreate the article based on these sources immediately, or do I need to first go through some process to argue that it should be un-deleted? LaetusStudiis ( talk) 19:10, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedian community:
I've just joined Wikipedia and I wish to write a separate article on "Autism in China".
I wish to do this because on Wikipedia, there's only a few sentences of information about the situation of autistic people in China, and Asia in general (check the section "Asia" in the article "Global perceptions of autism"" /info/en/?search=Global_perceptions_of_autism)
Therefore, I think it will be beneficial for others if I start an article. But I wonder about the community perspective if it's a notable topic to warrant a separate article before going. Thanks!

My question is prompted by looking at the talk page here [13], which shows that the article is "stub class". It sure doesn't look like a stub to me. An editor recently filled out this article and their edit comment indicates they removed the stub designation (from the article itself, I assume), but it's still listed as a stub on the talk page under various WikiProjects. I'm not sure whether I should remove that in this case and similar cases, following the assumption that it wasn't done before simply because the other editor forgot to, or whether articles are supposed to keep these tags until someone from the relevant WikiProject has come around to check on them. asilvering ( talk) 19:58, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

I added the film Legends of the Fall, a movie known to be, and described in the article itself as being “about three brothers and their father,” to the category of Father and son films. A user reverted my edited and wrote on my talk page, “It's not clear to me on what basis you categorized this as a 'father and son' film, especially as I don't see any real discussion of that dynamic in the article.” When I replied that it’s public knowledge the film centers on father and son relationships, the user claimed that my application of film categories based on the plot description and poster rather than any sources qualifies as “original research.” I’ve only been editing articles here for about a year, but does adding a film to a category when the article’s own plot description contains the elements of that category count as “original research”? I don’t place films in categories if they do not fit the described category. If the user is correct, was the addition of the movie Beethoven to the “Films about dogs” category considered “original research”? Spectrallights ( talk) 05:16, 9 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I submitted a draft page on a typographical journal on 11 August. /info/en/?search=Draft:Signature_(typography_journal) I was delighted and grateful that someone looked at it right away, and gave useful feedback, while declining it in its current form. Having re-worked the article to get all the relevant references in and deal with the comments I've now waited three months and no one has looked at the rewritten version. I understand that everyone is busy and has other priorities etc. but I'm intrigued as a newbie that the first draft got looked at immediately -rejected- then the follow-up article doesn't get looked at all. I say this as my contribution was on a particular specialist subject not really covered in Wiki. I'm fascinated that the rejection of the original was so quick yet the follow-up piece seems to be ignored.
If no one approves it will it stay as a draft page forever or will it get deleted at some point? Is there anything I can do to get someone to look at it at some point? NeilWells ( talk) 12:11, 12 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello,
I work for the Communications Team at Fortinet. We’ve been seeking help in improving the article about our company Fortinet because last December 2 user accounts that had made contributions in the past were flagged by a sock puppet investigation.
Although our team believes some employees have contributed edits to the article on their own over the years, earlier this year our executive team asked employees not to edit the article in an effort to allay the Wikipedia community's concerns. We have no way of identifying undisclosed past contributors. And given that outing editors is against Wikipedia policy, we see no reason to attempt to identify who the banned users were.
To help improve the article, I’ve published a proposed rewrite of the article in my sandbox. Our COI Edit Request is for Wikipedians to provide feedback on the proposed rewrite, in the hope that when an accepting consensus is formed, someone will publish the rewrite. Fortinet recognizes that it doesn’t own the Wikipedia article, and that we are not to exercise editorial control over it. We only hope to provide helpful information and to keep the page updated according to Wikipedia’s guidelines.
Is there anything else we can do to attract helpful editors who have no connection to our company? Would anyone here be willing to participate in the process to improve the article?
Thank you for your attention. JasmineLozanoFortinet ( talk) 22:02, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
Bold textIn regards to this post on George B Curtiss, /info/en/?search=George_B._Curtiss. I feel that Curtiss needs to be presented as a protectionist and a economic historian on the tariff concerning the Trans Atlantic world. This is all I wish to say George B Curtiss the protectionist and economic history was the writer of four economic works. He can be credited to having done a n extensive mapping out of the American System of Political Economy in his work, the Industrial Development of Nations. Curtiss was a honoary member of the American Protective Tariff League. At their bequest he wrote the pamphlet Abraham Lincoln Protectionist. Curtiss said in this piece "Washington introduced the American System of Protection to domestic labor and industry,and Lincoln aided in establishing and protecting that syste." reference is Abraham Lincoln Protectionist , George B Curtiss, New York, The American Protective Tariff League, 1916. I am sorry but him being a Protectionist is why he is a historical individual not because he is a lwyer. I feel as if the historians do not want to say some one is a protectionist and lead people on to treasures are fools gold because there are lot of protectionists on wikipedia. The people who put up these posts are indifferenct towards the subject. How do I make a reference? I may be forced to just list a name of protectionists , giving a concise briefing on the protectionist ways.
1.Moses W Field protectionist not accordinging to Wikipedia, 2.Thomas B Reed, protectionist, not according to Wikipedia, 3.Thomas Haines Dudley, his protectionist pieces are not included. They do mention he was the first vice president of the American Protective Tariff League, 4.John Brewer Hart protectionist, not according to Wikipedia, 5. William Few protectionist, part of the The American society encouragement of domestic manufacturers to the people of the United States,not according to Wikipedia, 6.Peter Cooper protectionist, not according to wikipedia, 7.John M Clayton protectionist, not according wikipedia,John h. Gear protectionist , not according to wikipedia, 8. John Adam Kasson protectionist, not according to that venerable body wikipedia, His Highest Excellency John Quincy Adams protectionist, not according to wikipedia 9. Joseph Gurney Cannon protectionist, not according to wikipedia 10. Asher Robbins protectionist, not according to wikipedia 11. Edward Joy Morris protectionist not according to wikipedia 12 Luther Martin Kennet protectionist not according to wikipedia. 13. James Thompson McCleary, protectionist, not according to wikipedia 14. Abraham Lincoln protectionist gave a bevy of speeches on the tariff, but Wikipedia has an article sheds no light of his mastery of the tariff. 15. Andrew Stewart protectionist, not according to Wikipedia. All one has to do is read their speeches or books to arrive at the conclusion I made. The above men were protectionist. What we have here is a pattern of wikipedia sources that are inadequate. Wikiedia and her sources do not do the kind of research that will tell the story of the tariff. I have to conclude , they are indifferent. I will gladly do work they chose not to do. I just need to figure out how to reference things when I add on to wikipedia entries. One last thing political grave yard and the biographical directory for the United States Congress is not going to talk about protectionism. Protectionist like me will though.So again I ask how do I put up references so I can have these dead white men not turn in the graves for noot being seen as protectionist.

Is wikipedia used in which ways — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nidamour ( talk • contribs) 14:02, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
How does a person progress from being a user on Wikipedia and getting to an editor with more privileges? Just wondering if error rate is a criteria.
Wikipedia is common encyclopedia where all of us can make edits and people are open to constructively discuss and resolve differences. However, not everyone might use their time to discussing and resolving differences. They might rather want to use their time working on a new article. Or editing an article.
When there is no quality rating tied to an editor, they’ll be inadvertently making edits like removing valid sources or deleting content because they didn’t read the citation well. And now, they’re in a sense doing more harm than good to the content on Wikipedia.
The number of edits is a great metric but the quality of edits is of more importance. It is complicated to objectively measure quality of an edit. But error rate is relatively easier. If you make an edit and someone is able to state that it’s an error, then we have something to work with.
If we have an error rate attached to users, they’ll work harder at double-checking their edits. And probably users with a higher error rate shouldn’t be given more privileges because the consequences of their actions are far reaching. And it will also increase the quality of content and edits on wikipedia.
I’m sure there is some sort of mechanism that looks at user error rate. Just that I’m new and I’d love to know. Elenatina ( talk) 09:12, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

I do not write about the feeling of death, but news about the date of death from various objective sources, communicated externally, it is not an illusion, but a fact confirmed by several people.

If I recall correctly, Borges had an ancestry tree at the bottom of his article but now it's gone. SiberianDante ( talk) 23:05, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
Wikipedia is not a genealogy. Family histories should be presented only where appropriate to support the reader's understanding of a notable topic.ClaudineChionh ( talk – contribs) 23:19, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

I have a draft saved and would like to add 4 photos. I uploaded the photos to Upload Wizard and can't figure out how to attached them to my article. I'm thinking it would have been easier to add them using the photo icon in the edit mode. So, how do I attach the 4 photos in the upload wizard to my draft? Or, is there another option. Thanks!

Creating a brand new page could be very tricky. One possibly easy way to start is to find out if there already exists a page for this in Korean and translate it, assuming you speak Korean. Nothyself ( talk) 05:15, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi! Is there any type of criteria for the further reading section in articles? Someone added this book Opioids for the Masses to the Further Reading section of Opioid epidemic in the United States. Someone else removed it and said it needs to be accessible to the general public, but the original editor added it back. Looking online, the book was only released a week ago and there's no type of content related to it outside of the summary. Thank you for the help :)) Dorororo ( talk) 04:37, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

I wonder if it's possible that these languages evolved through interaction between homo sapiens and neanderthals Basque and etruscan evolved in parts of europe where the 2 species are known to have co-existed & even interbred for millennia. I seem to recall documentaries that proved the capacity of neanderthals for advanced abstract conceptualization (religion for example) & I think the anatomical analysis of their skulls indicated speech was possible.

Hi, can tv series, or film series cast list have a cast which does not have any references or citation? There are a ton of wiki pages that have cast without citation, and they do not have any mantainence tag, but in some articles, many cast have been removed because they were unsourced. So, please clarify my doubt regarding this. Which is correct??? Itcouldbepossible ( talk) 03:49, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

how can citations be provided when the information comes from the writer's own head (experience) ? e.g. writing a history of a Society where the only written record is that Society's Minutes I am floundering with even the basics of 'how to' I am a writer not a techi wiz kid 2A00:23C4:84AB:E201:DDA8:14E7:CA4C:B426 ( talk) 12:31, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi there, regarding:
/info/en/?search=Draft:Ape_Mink_Press - I am being declined due to not enough references. This is a new and upcoming band and I have added what was requested from a user as a 3rd party reference - which I have added - a website link from a site that receives official information from the band/artist themselves. This is starting to get frustrating, as because they're new and not many sources exist right now, I cannot make a page? Any help to get this to stay up would be appreciated, its getting to the point where I will pay someone

Am struggling to understand why so much of the Samoa page talks of the history when there is a separate page for Samoan History ... similarly there were many sections on the Samoan Economy when there is a separate page for Samoan Economy ... etc etc ... does anyone care? ... are there guidelines about the extent to which a main page should reproduce content from another page?

Basically all notable 1st party system camera lenses are listed in a table somewhere on Wikipedia. This is true for List of Minolta A-mount lenses, List of Sony E-mount lenses, Canon EF lens mount#List of EF lenses, etc, but (archived) List of Sony A-mount lenses was apparently deleted after just a week of deletion review without saving the list elsewhere. Furthermore the pathway to asking questions about the deletion is a long rabbit hole that ends in either asking the wikipedian that proposed the deletion on their talk page (which seems to discourage discussions about previous deletions on their talk page), the wikipedian which performed the actual deletion (who just followed apparent consensus) or taking it directly to WP:DRV. Neither of which seems like good options for what should be a trivial issue? Furthermore the talk page for List of Sony A-mount lenses has been deleted twice since the article was deleted, but there's no record of what the discussion was, even on archive.org . Now all pages which used to refer to the list instead refers to the archived page which in practice makes it impossible to improve the article.
What's the proper thing to do here, and is it supposed to be this overwhelming to figure out where to discuss the deletion? From what I can tell the archived version of the article was fairly well written and I can sort of understand the argument that it was poorly sourced, but since Wikipedia more or less forbids primary sources it's a bit of a paradox when the primary goal is a complete list of official lenses? The deletion also appears to be motivated by WP:NOTCATALOG but I think the introduction of the article had some good qualities and as noted above we already have lists of lenses for many other lens mounts.
The reason I went looking for the list in the first place was to see if there were any particularly interesting A-mount lenses, so I'd argue that if the article somehow ends up back on Wikipedia it could be improved with another few tables containing notable unofficial 3rd party lenses, like those made by Sigma and Tamron. In my opinion the A-mount was notable in many regards, since during its brief lifetime under Sony it got many features like a lens-integrated autofocus motor and AF-D (AFAIK it means using both the traditional small autofocus sensor and the imaging sensor to track focus). Sort of like a playground to see what was worth implementing in the E-mount, which at the time was under development for the upcoming mirrorless cameras. An alternative could be to add the lenses into the article about Sony α but that article is pretty long already.
At the very least I can't be the only one who finds the situation a bit awkward, right? MrPorpoise ( talk) 07:05, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
Of those, most lenses are optically, mechanically and electrically identical to their Minolta predecessors and differ only in their outer appearance. The deletion, in my view, was correct. We do not need lists of unnotable products offered by various corporations. If many of these lenses are independently notable, prove it, and then create a list.
