Hi, there's a bit of a reference mess at Early childhood. A new editor, Makayla rosenfeld1127 has attempted to improve this article, and has added a lot of references. Unfortunately they accidentally messed up the reflist template while doing so, so the original inline citations piled up at the bottom of the article. I've re-added the reflist template, so the inline ones are now correct, but Makayla has added a load of "hard wired" references with numbers, though unfortunately hasn't indicated where these should be cited in the text. As a result, it's now a bit of a mess, because the hard-wired ones pile up as one huge blob of text at the end, with just one being cited, and that as a single number at the bottom of the inline citations. Since Makayla has only had one editing-session so far, there's no guarantee they'll be back to fix this. I don't want to revert the whole lot, because these may be useful references, assembled with some care. I wanted to convert them to properly-entered named references so they could be cited by name from the text, if desired, but that doesn't work very well either. What's the correct way to sort this out? I've put a link to WP:REFBEGIN and some hints on Makayla's talk-page in case they're back, but it'd be nice to sort it out if they don't come back. Many thanks for any advice, Elemimele ( talk) 17:27, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi. I have never tried to edit an article. I wanted to add a mug shot to an article on an entry about a serial killer recently convicted. It was previously in the system. However a bot deleted it claiming copyright issues. However it was a mug shot. So I’m not sure whether it belonged in the commons or not (The reason the bot reportedly deleted the mug shot was that it was supposed to come from local, a difference I don’t understand). However it is not covered by a copyright because it is a mug shot.
In any event I don’t have enough edits to be able to put the picture back into the system nor do I know how. Can someone help me?

Hi, I’ve just had a discussion at the Talk page of User:Cullen328’s essay on using smartphones for editing. I use an iPhone while Cullen328 uses Android and has no problem.The issue is: when i select the apostrophe or quote characters in editing, what i call slanted or curved versions of those get inserted. Same if i select for insertion the marks at bottom of my editing window. While Wikipedia needs vertical versions, which are what my editing on laptop delivers. Slanted versions are “ and ‘. So, for example if i type apostrophes to make bolding, what i get is ‘’’bolding?’’’ (which will not show as bolded). (I do know that for bolding i can highlight a phrase then select bolding icon. My point is I can’t type the symbols i and Wikipedia writing want.) I wonder: is there some way my user preferences could be changed so that the vertical versions of quote and apostrophe marks come out? Thanks, Doncram ( talk) 21:08, 28 April 2022 (UTC) P.S. MOS:STRAIGHT and wp:APOSTROPHE say the straight versions should be used. Doncram ( talk) 21:13, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
banish the curliesin that Bear doc! I've followed the advice and toggled the setting on my iPad. I prefer curly quotes in other contexts, but I do more WP editing on this device than other writing, so perhaps that trade-off will be worth it. (I tend to use the B I buttons where they are available because
'''
is so hard to type. But the mobile source editor ...) My next decision will be what to do about spelling correction. @

I noticed that while editing in the source editor it appears as if there is always at least two spaces in between any one sentence to the next. Is this real? Or am I imagining things, and I gather these spaces do not render when then published and viewed from the perspective of a reader, right? Is this just part of the coding for the encyclopedia? I sometimes remove these, but I'm beginning to think that they have no effect, and that they are automatically generated. So there is no point. As best I can tell. Thank you. ♥ Th78blue ( talk)♥ 15:24, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

I have a question about the legitimacy of this deletion. So, I made custom Wikipedia Sandbox Pages (not an article that you can easily access), and the only way to access it was to search User:TatiVogue/. An administrator deleted it saying I was using "misinformation". It was not a real Wikipedia article, it was a user sandbox, AND I stated it was my custom season to improve my English & Wikipedia editing. Please tell me if this was legitimate or not. Also, excuse my English, because it is not my first language. TatiVogue ( talk) 15:46, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
You created nine sandbox pages that contained hoax articles (included seasons of RuPaul that have not yet occured). Hence the "Blatant hoax" reason for deleting. Does not matter that all this was in Sandbox, as everything at Wikipedia is public. It's why the button at the bottom is Publish rather than Save.

Hey all,
So, I'm trying to (hopefully) write some articles on a series of films from a distribution company that has some of it's films on Wikipedia and some not. I'm not being paid for them or anything - I just figured it would be a pretty "simple" jumping off point for article writing and well, who doesn't like to check out a new film. I mention all of this just to make it clear I'm not trying to upload my Cousin Johnny's indie camcorder film or anything.
That being said I was wondering how uploading the image for the page's Infobox [which seems to near universally be the theatrical poster for the film] works in terms of Wikipedia's rules for image uploading. It appears pretty stringent that if an image has copyright belonging to another person/entity it cannot be uploaded, but at the same time it's hard for me to imagine that the only way to get a poster image uploaded would be to ring up the production company or whatever and ask them to pretty please upload it themselves.
Am I just missing something in terms of the rules that permits these types of uploads? Or how does this normally occur? I've been stupid in the past, so I may be missing something obvious.
Thanks!
P.S. Do drafts save automatically or should I be "publishing" them and just hoping they don't get instantly deleted while they're still a WIP? Sweating a bit over here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by A MINOTAUR ( talk • contribs) 01:53, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Over a period of 2012-18 an editor initially editing as IP 50.29.183.144 and later as Raindrop73, added literally millions of bytes of information to hundreds of school and school district articles - mostly in Pennsylvania - with references. Raindrop73 stopped editing in 2018. Over a period of March-April 2022, Graham87 (an Administator) went to every one of these articles and deleted roughly 90% of the content and references, leaving as an Edit summary "make proper school district article after extreme and sustained disruptin by IP user who became Raindrop73". An example is North Pocono School District. To me, this feels arbitrary. Should one person - Administrator or not - be empowered to radically shorten articles that were in existance for years, based on their own concept of what a school article should be?

I could use a little help creating my first Wikipedia page.
I have been writing and editing a page called, Leona's Sister Gerri in Sandbox. I would like to move the page from Sandbox to a regular Wiki page. I understand that this will take a while for the page to be reviewed and hopefully approved.
After I made revisions to the page, I tapped the "publish" button.
Is that all I need to do, or is there another step?

Hello! So while I was handling some requests at WP:EFFPR, I came across a report for a user who tried to edit the article Glossary of cue sports terms. The article just seems to be a list of definitions of terms used in cue sports.

I recently asked a question here a few days ago about this but the post was archived and I had a follow up question.
The current main image on the
Sapiens article is the
Hebrew first edition cover. Would it be appropriate to either update the main image to the
Harper Collins english first edition cover if it could be obtained and uploaded in the proper way, or if the Hebrew version is the best image for the article since it was the very first edition published, could the English first edition cover be added to the page? The English first edition is the image used by the author on his website and also the image most readers of the English Wikipedia page will be familiar with and be able to read the text on. There doesnt seem to be much guidance on this topic for books with multiple language first editions about which image is prefered for use with respect to the various language wikipedia pages. An image I mentioned in my post the other day has been nominated for deletion.

Hi,
We have rebranded ourselves from Bloomberquint.com to bqprime.com. We wanted to understand how the rebranding on wikipedia works.

Tata Play seems to have created a new wikipedia entry and added a redirect to its wikipedia Tata sky page which brings it back to Tata Play.
We wanted to do the same exercise but we dont have the expertise in Wiki entry hence wanted to check if any credible editor will help us create a new brand wiki page and then do the redirection from bloombergquint wiki to bqprime wiki, this is the announcement here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX4ruJmnSZE

Guys, isn't it something completely personal? I really do not get it why categories like that should exist! I know that categories exist to find a person easier but these ones are like making it easier for someone who is against the beliefs of someone's to start discussing it.

Please, don't refer me to Phabricator; Phabricator is a little resistive to letting someone who does not have an e-mail address/account report a bug (to word it politely and say not more).
As regards answers in topics, a few years ago all was fine.
Then I took some holiday (because of frustration about a few users, in the German WP).
Since a couple of weeks, since I'm back, something strange happens when I open a message.
The sequence is as follows:
So far everything is, as I expect it to happen.
But there remains the empty space, where the contribution was;
the space does not close.
If the message has started a new topic, the new heading remains visible.
If there are older contributions above this new contribution, under the same topic/heading, these older contributions remain visible;
only the latest contribution(s) disappear(s).
(Sometimes I find two answers to one topic.)
The same happens in the German wikipedia.
I recently had two announcements from the Teahouse. They also left a little image. After the text had disappeared, where there was supposed to be this image, there was only a dim/very dark kind of placeholder for this image.
If I repeat the same sequence, the same happens.
As a workaround I scroll to the top of my talk page and, in the table of content, click on this topic. Then this topic appears and the new contribution(s) is/are visible and remain(s) visible.
It has also happened that the latest answer remained visible, and only the second to last answer disappeared, leaving empty space inbetween.
After a while (minutes), or maybe because I went via the table of content, the messages are visible permanently, as they are supposed to.
I have Windows 8.1 and Firefox, both updated.

Hello everyone,
I recently had an article I had authored a few days ago flagged and deleted in a matter of minutes. I am a bit confused because altho I have been a very sporadic contributor over the years, I have had two articles be approved that I drafted from scratch, and in both instances I had access to way less actual citations than this particular one. Furthermore the citations were in particularly well respected media outlets, references in actual printed books, the subject has won several awards from respected design institutions, their work has been part of a museum show, and they are faculty at a very well known university.
My question is this: I would like to receive a copy of the text that was deleted, so I can examine/work on the tone and seek guidance from more experienced editors. How do I go about doing this? And in what format can I receive it?
Also, would it perhaps be better to resubmit the page as a very brief factual stub first and wait for that to be reviewed and approved to establish the basic notability of the subject before working on adding more information? Or is it better to submit a longer article from the get go?
Finally, as I have access to a design archive library, I was able to pull even more well known printed magazine and journal articles (which date back to early 2000s), how would I go about refrencing them in a way that editors are able to actually review and verify them? I do have the ability to scan these pages, but if I do so, would I be able to host them anywhere and link the PDF? I ask because I don't think the editors would be able to pull up the actual text were I to merely cite the edition and page numbers.
Thanks in advance!

Hey all,
I posted a couple days ago, but am hoping I could lean on the Teahouse's assistance in making sure my draft
Draft:Barbarians (2021 film) is in solid shape before I resubmit it. Friendly user
Bilorv indicated I should add in some more specifically cited reviews which I've done now (thanks Bilorv!); but I figured I would toss the draft in the Teahouse first just to get general impressions on if there's anything else obviously missing.
The only thing I would mention is that it is an independent film - and while I firmly believe it's notable enough to deserve an article, there is some limited information out there regarding some things like where exactly it was filmed, what the budget was, etc (at least, from what I could dig up myself).

The template stated that it should not remain for any longer than 12 hours, but the tag has been there for over a week.

Hi editors! I created a draft of an article ( Draft:Tissue therapy), and today I've been notified that the article isn't created at this time. Reviewers inserted some templates on the draft and on my user talk page, telling that the subject does not deserve to have a separate page on Wikipedia because the references (that I provided) don't show the subject significance. Aside from that, they are trying to have me to study the rules of the platform, to fix mistakes that I made, and to resubmit the draft. ...Or to request the article deletion.
Hmm, I find that a bit unfriendly. I created the article from a link to a non-existing article on a page about Vladimir Filatov. The link is still there (on the day of writing this), and invites to create the article with the name "Tissue therapy". Reviewers titled their edit actually, this is a really bad idea. Maybe they suspect me in promotion the subject. I'm not going to promote it. I wrote a brief complete note, as neutral as possible (it rather tends to criticize the subject). I'm not going to rewrite it, and to request the deletion either. None of proposed options. I even do not desire to have a separate article for the subject. I violated the rules. I'm sorry for that! That was not on purpose.
As I understood the material will live at least 6 months...

If this is possible, please let me know how because I can't figure out how to add references manually to the ref list anymore, I know it used to be possible years ago tho!

Although I've written in 3th person and tried to be objective, my relationship with the project does not let me be as objective as I sould so, if someone wants to help that would be awesome.

When working on the project, i discovered a controversy surrounding the page which is below;
"In 2018, Amina Mohammed, aka Justina Oluoha and Amina Villa, was arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) for reportedly impersonating Rashida Bello, wife of Kogi State governor. On Monday, December 3, 2018, in Abuja, DSS public relations officer Peter Afunanya revealed this while speaking to reporters about the arrest. He claimed that the suspect gained unlawful entrance to the Presidential Aso Villa and utilized the First Lady's office, Aisha Buhari's, to commit fraud. Before being identified, the suspect used several names and identities to deceive unsuspecting people, according to Afunanya"
to avoid some individuals impersonating her i think its right if she will be identified as the first lady to avoid people falling into scam to fake people parading as the subject.

Hey guys, I think I found some additional 'platonic solids' which implies that they are more than 5. I would like someone to review them and give a feedback whether am wrong or right. But so far they match all the qualities of a platonic solids. They include another 6-sided solid made up of 6 triangles (Ghedron) and A 10 sided one which was previously missing.

Hello,
I submitted my first wikipedia article here > Draft:Aboukir filter
I have received the following message. > Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time.
Is this due to > show significant coverage ?
There is significant coverage of the topic, not just passing mentions. The topic is well covered in various media, including an old news paper article from the time & photographs, & an article in a book.

There is a user who, I honestly thought was making a joke argument in a long debate at
Talk:Emma Raducanu that I was moderating. I don't think the debate is relevant to the question, but it started when said user added a quotation saying that Romanians were proud of Raducanu (who is half-Romanian) and had adopted her (as she plays for Britain); to the reasonable person this is a bit of a joke about 'adopting as one of our own'. The user tried to defend the quote after it was edit-warred over by instead saying that, based on photos, they think it is obvious Raducanu's Romanian father is not her real father and this needed to be included in the article. Yes, sounds like a joke. So I responded as if it was a joke, and got an honestly slightly deranged response made over a dozen or so edits -
full response here.
I don't want to take someone who doesn't seem able to engage in proper discussion to ANI, and I don't think pointing them to any guidelines on OR (is a self-made conspiracy theory even OR?) ... or the Wikipedia is not therapy essay ... would actually be paid attention to; is there any recourse, because, although I am definitely not a therapist or even close, I think taking away the tools for them to try to make this argument would honestly help the person behind the user detach from it. The more they're able to try and convince us, the more they are convincing themself, you know?

Hi Teahouse volunteers
Wondering where the line is: I don't think I come across as bullying in my edits or discussion, but another editor has said they feel that. And now they have said WP:DROPTHESTICK to my last talk page post, so I'm loathe to keep engaging without checking whether I may be a problem without realising it.
Just hoping for some general advice on how to proceed. In general terms, would it be acceptable to try another, very conciliatory, approach, asking whether we can both ask other editors for their views? My last tp reply has been removed, so maybe that would be a step too far if I tried again? What do others think? I could genuinely use some advice. Thanks.

I recently submitted a new article on the enzyme thrombokinase that was rejected by Robert McClenon because the word is contained in the article on thromboplastin. The reason for the submission is that thromboplastin is NOT an enzyme as stated in the wiki article, but rather acts on the enzyme thrombokinase, now popularly known as Factor Xa. I want to correct the thromboplastin article, make an addition to the Factor X article, and insert a new article about thrombokinase, as shown below. This should clear up some long-standing confusion about these terms. How should I procede?

Thromboplastin (TPL) or thrombokinase is derived from cell membranes and is a mixture of both phospholipids and tissue factor, neither of which are enzymes. Thromboplastin acts on and accelerates the activity of the serine protease Factor Xa, aiding blood coagulation through the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. Thromboplastin is found in brain, lung, and other tissues and especially in blood platelets. and that functions in the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin in the clotting of blood. Proposed change: Thromboplastin (TPL) is derived from cell membranes and is a mixture of both phospholipids and tissue factor, neither of which are enzymes. Thromboplastin acts on and accelerates the activity of the serine protease Factor Xa, aiding blood coagulation through the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. Thromboplastin is found in brain, lung, and other tissues and especially in blood platelets. History: American and British scientists described deficiency of factor X independently in 1953 and 1956, respectively. As with some other coagulation factors, the factor was initially named after these patients, a Mr Rufus Stuart (1921) and a Miss Audrey Prower (1934). Factor X proposed History: American and British scientists described deficiency of factor X independently in 1953 and 1956, respectively. As with some other coagulation factors, the factor was initially named after these patients, a Mr Rufus Stuart (1921) and a Miss Audrey Prower (1934). At that time, those investigators could not know that the human genetic defect they had identified would be found in the previously characterized enzyme called thrombokinase. Thrombokinase was the name coined by Paul Morawitz in 1904 to describe the substance that converted prothrombin to thrombin and caused blood to clot[ref] . That name embodied an important new concept in understanding blood coagulation – that an enzyme was critically important in the activation of prothrombin. Morawitz believed that his enzyme came from cells such as platelets yet, in keeping with the state of knowledge about enzymes at that time, had no clear idea about the chemical nature of his thrombokinase or its mechanism of action. Those uncertainties led to decades during which the terms thrombokinase and thromboplastin were both used to describe the activator of prothrombin and led to controversy about its chemical nature and origin [ref 1952]. In 1947, J Haskell Milstone isolated a proenzyme from bovine plasma which, when activated, converted prothrombin to thrombin. Following Morawitz’s designation, he called it prothrombokinase [ref 1947] and by 1951 had purified the active enzyme, thrombokinase. Over the next several years he showed that thrombokinase was a proteolytic enzyme that, by itself, could activate prothrombin but whose activity was greatly enhanced by addition of calcium, tissue extracts and other serum factors [ref. 2021] In 1964 Milstone summarized his work and that of others: “There are many chemical reactions which are so slow that they would not be of physiological use if they were not accelerated by enzymes. We are now confronted with a reaction, catalyzed by an enzyme, which is still too slow unless aided by accessory factors.” [ref 1964] Morawitz, P (1904). "Beitrage zur Kenntnis der Blutgerinnung".

Giri is also chairman of the Hindu religious organisation Hindu Dharma Acharya Sabhais supported by three references. Looking at the first one, it contains the paragraph
Avdheshanand Giri is the chairman of the Hindu Dharma Acharya Sabha. Parmatmanand is considered to be close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.Assuming that Indiatoday is reliable, then this is completely adequate to substantiate the statement. Adding two further references (which I haven't checked) adds absolutely nothing to the article, and (as Maproom suggests) may well contribute to a reviewer saying "This article looks like too much work, so I'll go and review another one".

Hi, there's a bit of a reference mess at Early childhood. A new editor, Makayla rosenfeld1127 has attempted to improve this article, and has added a lot of references. Unfortunately they accidentally messed up the reflist template while doing so, so the original inline citations piled up at the bottom of the article. I've re-added the reflist template, so the inline ones are now correct, but Makayla has added a load of "hard wired" references with numbers, though unfortunately hasn't indicated where these should be cited in the text. As a result, it's now a bit of a mess, because the hard-wired ones pile up as one huge blob of text at the end, with just one being cited, and that as a single number at the bottom of the inline citations. Since Makayla has only had one editing-session so far, there's no guarantee they'll be back to fix this. I don't want to revert the whole lot, because these may be useful references, assembled with some care. I wanted to convert them to properly-entered named references so they could be cited by name from the text, if desired, but that doesn't work very well either. What's the correct way to sort this out? I've put a link to WP:REFBEGIN and some hints on Makayla's talk-page in case they're back, but it'd be nice to sort it out if they don't come back.

Hi. I have never tried to edit an article. I wanted to add a mug shot to an article on an entry about a serial killer recently convicted. It was previously in the system. However a bot deleted it claiming copyright issues. However it was a mug shot. So I’m not sure whether it belonged in the commons or not (The reason the bot reportedly deleted the mug shot was that it was supposed to come from local, a difference I don’t understand). However it is not covered by a copyright because it is a mug shot.
In any event I don’t have enough edits to be able to put the picture back into the system nor do I know how. Can someone help me?

I use an iPhone while Cullen328 uses Android and has no problem.The issue is: when i select the apostrophe or quote characters in editing, what i call slanted or curved versions of those get inserted. Same if i select for insertion the marks at bottom of my editing window. While Wikipedia needs vertical versions, which are what my editing on laptop delivers. Slanted versions are “ and ‘. So, for example if i type apostrophes to make bolding, what i get is ‘’’bolding?’’’ (which will not show as bolded). (I do know that for bolding i can highlight a phrase then select bolding icon. My point is I can’t type the symbols i and Wikipedia writing want.) I wonder: is there some way my user preferences could be changed so that the vertical versions of quote and apostrophe marks come out? Thanks, Doncram ( talk) 21:08, 28 April 2022 (UTC) P.S. MOS:STRAIGHT and wp:APOSTROPHE say the straight versions should be used. Doncram ( talk) 21:13, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
banish the curliesin that Bear doc! I've followed the advice and toggled the setting on my iPad. I prefer curly quotes in other contexts, but I do more WP editing on this device than other writing, so perhaps that trade-off will be worth it. (I tend to use the B I buttons where they are available because
'''
is so hard to type. But the mobile source editor ...) My next decision will be what to do about spelling correction. @
Doncram, do you have issues positioning the cursor next to a word that iOS (or maybe Safari) thinks is mis-spelled? ⁓

I noticed that while editing in the source editor it appears as if there is always at least two spaces in between any one sentence to the next. Is this real? Or am I imagining things, and I gather these spaces do not render when then published and viewed from the perspective of a reader, right? Is this just part of the coding for the encyclopedia? I sometimes remove these, but I'm beginning to think that they have no effect, and that they are automatically generated. So there is no point. As best I can tell. Thank you. ♥ Th78blue ( talk)♥ 15:24, 4 May 2022 (UTC)

I have a question about the legitimacy of this deletion. So, I made custom Wikipedia Sandbox Pages (not an article that you can easily access), and the only way to access it was to search User:TatiVogue/. An administrator deleted it saying I was using "misinformation". It was not a real Wikipedia article, it was a user sandbox, AND I stated it was my custom season to improve my English & Wikipedia editing. Please tell me if this was legitimate or not. Also, excuse my English, because it is not my first language. TatiVogue ( talk) 15:46, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
You created nine sandbox pages that contained hoax articles (included seasons of RuPaul that have not yet occured). Hence the "Blatant hoax" reason for deleting. Does not matter that all this was in Sandbox, as everything at Wikipedia is public. It's why the button at the bottom is Publish rather than Save.

Hey all,
So, I'm trying to (hopefully) write some articles on a series of films from a distribution company that has some of it's films on Wikipedia and some not. I'm not being paid for them or anything - I just figured it would be a pretty "simple" jumping off point for article writing and well, who doesn't like to check out a new film. I mention all of this just to make it clear I'm not trying to upload my Cousin Johnny's indie camcorder film or anything.
That being said I was wondering how uploading the image for the page's Infobox [which seems to near universally be the theatrical poster for the film] works in terms of Wikipedia's rules for image uploading. It appears pretty stringent that if an image has copyright belonging to another person/entity it cannot be uploaded, but at the same time it's hard for me to imagine that the only way to get a poster image uploaded would be to ring up the production company or whatever and ask them to pretty please upload it themselves.
Am I just missing something in terms of the rules that permits these types of uploads? Or how does this normally occur? I've been stupid in the past, so I may be missing something obvious.
Thanks!
P.S. Do drafts save automatically or should I be "publishing" them and just hoping they don't get instantly deleted while they're still a WIP? Sweating a bit over here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by A MINOTAUR ( talk • contribs) 01:53, 5 May 2022 (UTC)

Over a period of 2012-18 an editor initially editing as IP 50.29.183.144 and later as Raindrop73, added literally millions of bytes of information to hundreds of school and school district articles - mostly in Pennsylvania - with references. Raindrop73 stopped editing in 2018. Over a period of March-April 2022, Graham87 (an Administator) went to every one of these articles and deleted roughly 90% of the content and references, leaving as an Edit summary "make proper school district article after extreme and sustained disruptin by IP user who became Raindrop73". An example is North Pocono School District. To me, this feels arbitrary.

Is that all I need to do, or is there another step?

I recently asked a question here a few days ago about this but the post was archived and I had a follow up question.
The current main image on the
Sapiens article is the
Hebrew first edition cover. Would it be appropriate to either update the main image to the
Harper Collins english first edition cover if it could be obtained and uploaded in the proper way, or if the Hebrew version is the best image for the article since it was the very first edition published, could the English first edition cover be added to the page? The English first edition is the image used by the author on his website and also the image most readers of the English Wikipedia page will be familiar with and be able to read the text on. There doesnt seem to be much guidance on this topic for books with multiple language first editions about which image is prefered for use with respect to the various language wikipedia pages. An image I mentioned in my post the other day has been nominated for deletion.

Hi,
We have rebranded ourselves from Bloomberquint.com to bqprime.com. We wanted to understand how the rebranding on wikipedia works. We came across a similar example where Tata Sky rebranded to Tata PLay. Tata Play seems to have created a new wikipedia entry and added a redirect to its wikipedia Tata sky page which brings it back to Tata Play.
We wanted to do the same exercise but we dont have the expertise in Wiki entry hence wanted to check if any credible editor will help us create a new brand wiki page and then do the redirection from bloombergquint wiki to bqprime wiki, this is the announcement here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX4ruJmnSZE

Guys, isn't it something completely personal? I really do not get it why categories like that should exist! I know that categories exist to find a person easier but these ones are like making it easier for someone who is against the beliefs of someone's to start discussing it.

Please, don't refer me to Phabricator; Phabricator is a little resistive to letting someone who does not have an e-mail address/account report a bug (to word it politely and say not more).
As regards answers in topics, a few years ago all was fine.
Then I took some holiday (because of frustration about a few users, in the German WP).
Since a couple of weeks, since I'm back, something strange happens when I open a message.
The sequence is as follows:
So far everything is, as I expect it to happen.
But there remains the empty space, where the contribution was;
the space does not close.
If the message has started a new topic, the new heading remains visible.
If there are older contributions above this new contribution, under the same topic/heading, these older contributions remain visible;
only the latest contribution(s) disappear(s).
(Sometimes I find two answers to one topic.)
The same happens in the German wikipedia.
I recently had two announcements from the Teahouse. They also left a little image. After the text had disappeared, where there was supposed to be this image, there was only a dim/very dark kind of placeholder for this image.
If I repeat the same sequence, the same happens.
As a workaround I scroll to the top of my talk page and, in the table of content, click on this topic. Then this topic appears and the new contribution(s) is/are visible and remain(s) visible.
It has also happened that the latest answer remained visible, and only the second to last answer disappeared, leaving empty space inbetween.
After a while (minutes), or maybe because I went via the table of content, the messages are visible permanently, as they are supposed to.
I have Windows 8.1 and Firefox, both updated.

Hello everyone,
I recently had an article I had authored a few days ago flagged and deleted in a matter of minutes. I am a bit confused because altho I have been a very sporadic contributor over the years, I have had two articles be approved that I drafted from scratch, and in both instances I had access to way less actual citations than this particular one. Furthermore the citations were in particularly well respected media outlets, references in actual printed books, the subject has won several awards from respected design institutions, their work has been part of a museum show, and they are faculty at a very well known university.
My question is this: I would like to receive a copy of the text that was deleted, so I can examine/work on the tone and seek guidance from more experienced editors. How do I go about doing this? And in what format can I receive it?
Also, would it perhaps be better to resubmit the page as a very brief factual stub first and wait for that to be reviewed and approved to establish the basic notability of the subject before working on adding more information? Or is it better to submit a longer article from the get go?
Finally, as I have access to a design archive library, I was able to pull even more well known printed magazine and journal articles (which date back to early 2000s), how would I go about refrencing them in a way that editors are able to actually review and verify them? I do have the ability to scan these pages, but if I do so, would I be able to host them anywhere and link the PDF? I ask because I don't think the editors would be able to pull up the actual text were I to merely cite the edition and page numbers.
Thanks in advance!

Draft:Barbarians (2021 film) is in solid shape before I resubmit it. Friendly user
Bilorv indicated I should add in some more specifically cited reviews which I've done now (thanks Bilorv!); but I figured I would toss the draft in the Teahouse first just to get general impressions on if there's anything else obviously missing.
The only thing I would mention is that it is an independent film - and while I firmly believe it's notable enough to deserve an article, there is some limited information out there regarding some things like where exactly it was filmed, what the budget was, etc (at least, from what I could dig up myself).

Is it possible to protect a page from unregistered IP addresses and new users from certain countries/territories? There are anonymous Georgian IP addresses removing visas and stamps of Abkhazia and South Ossetia in Gallery of passport stamps by country or territory constantly. I do not care what anyone's opinion on their independence is, I do not advocate for their independence either, but they are territories that issue their own visas and passport stamps, they definitely belong on the page. This constant removal is nothing but nationalistic pissing contest and it is really annoying at this point.-- Shallov ( talk) 19:42, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Teahouse hosts, it's your (not-so-old) Teahouse host asking questions again. So, I submitted this draft, and a reviewer quickly tagged it as "under review". The template stated that it should not remain for any longer than 12 hours, but the tag has been there for over a week. I'm assuming that it's fairly common, and the reviewer should obviously do this at his own convenience. However, I just wanted some help as to how long it should be up there.

Is AOL a reliable source? I've read through the referencing for beginners guide but I'm still getting fairly mixed signals here. I've never cited a source before, and I don't want to do something wrong. I'm trying to cite a news article from 2012, and I've noticed the writer of the article is listed, and nowhere on the news article does it seem to say that it's been looked over and reviewed. Does this make it a self-published source? Did I not read it through enough? I looked at the list of commonly used sources and AOL was not in there, so I thought I should go here to ask for help. Anything is appreciated. - Cheers, KoolKidz112 (hit me up) 20:31, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi editors! I created a draft of an article ( Draft:Tissue therapy), and today I've been notified that the article isn't created at this time. Reviewers inserted some templates on the draft and on my user talk page, telling that the subject does not deserve to have a separate page on Wikipedia because the references (that I provided) don't show the subject significance. Aside from that, they are trying to have me to study the rules of the platform, to fix mistakes that I made, and to resubmit the draft. ...Or to request the article deletion.
Hmm, I find that a bit unfriendly. I created the article from a link to a non-existing article on a page about Vladimir Filatov. The link is still there (on the day of writing this), and invites to create the article with the name "Tissue therapy". Reviewers titled their edit actually, this is a really bad idea. Maybe they suspect me in promotion the subject. I'm not going to promote it. I wrote a brief complete note, as neutral as possible (it rather tends to criticize the subject). I'm not going to rewrite it, and to request the deletion either. None of proposed options. I even do not desire to have a separate article for the subject. I violated the rules. I'm sorry for that! That was not on purpose.
As I understood the material will live at least 6 months...

Hi, I was wondering if it would be possible for me to add References to an article without having them necessarily be inline citations attached to specific segments of the article? I ask because I am working on a AfC draft where I would like to make sure the Notability of the subject is sufficiently verifiable for the reviewers once I submit it, and I do have a fair amount of printed magazine/journal articles that I could add to the references, but I don't necessarily have more to say about the subject than I already have in the article at the moment, these references would just further establish/reinforce the existing points. If this is possible, please let me know how because I can't figure out how to add references manually to the ref list anymore, I know it used to be possible years ago tho!

I would like to know if someone can help me writting an article about an NGO project I've started for a couple of years.
I've written a drawft to show more less what the project is about and add many links to interviews I've done. Honestly I would like someone else to write the article to have an objective point of view of this project called Share a Bike-Share a Smile.
Although I've written in 3th person and tried to be objective, my relationship with the project does not let me be as objective as I sould so, if someone wants to help that would be awesome.
Thanks a lot for taking the time to read this,

When working on the project, i discovered a controversy surrounding the page which is below;
"In 2018, Amina Mohammed, aka Justina Oluoha and Amina Villa, was arrested by the Department of State Services (DSS) for reportedly impersonating Rashida Bello, wife of Kogi State governor. On Monday, December 3, 2018, in Abuja, DSS public relations officer Peter Afunanya revealed this while speaking to reporters about the arrest. He claimed that the suspect gained unlawful entrance to the Presidential Aso Villa and utilized the First Lady's office, Aisha Buhari's, to commit fraud. Before being identified, the suspect used several names and identities to deceive unsuspecting people, according to Afunanya"
to avoid some individuals impersonating her i think its right if she will be identified as the first lady to avoid people falling into scam to fake people parading as the subject.

Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue).

I have got this review from the reviewer: "Generally, no need for more than 2-3 inline citations together. Career is still slightly promotional. I have added wikilinks as even though the pages aren't there at the moment they are pages that should meet notability requirements and red links is not a bad thing". and I am unable to understand what should be the next steps for my article to get published.

I have added wikilinks as even though the pages aren't there at the moment they are pages that should meet notability requirements and red links is not a bad thingis not part of their review that you need to act on: they are saying that they have added something to the draft, and justifying why they have done so, but this will not affect the review either way.

Hi all,
So I am currently editing Weston, Connecticut and in particular the Politics section. Can someone help me to figure out how to force the table to take up enough space that it stays put ABOVE the "Notable people" list? I don't know why, but it seems to want to squeeze down on my screen next to the NP list and it looks bad. It would look better if the political table were on its own I'm sure. Thank you. ♥ Th78blue ( talk)♥ 20:47, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

There is a user who, I honestly thought was making a joke argument in a long debate at
Talk:Emma Raducanu that I was moderating. I don't think the debate is relevant to the question, but it started when said user added a quotation saying that Romanians were proud of Raducanu (who is half-Romanian) and had adopted her (as she plays for Britain); to the reasonable person this is a bit of a joke about 'adopting as one of our own'. The user tried to defend the quote after it was edit-warred over by instead saying that, based on photos, they think it is obvious Raducanu's Romanian father is not her real father and this needed to be included in the article. Yes, sounds like a joke. So I responded as if it was a joke, and got an honestly slightly deranged response made over a dozen or so edits -
full response here.
I don't want to take someone who doesn't seem able to engage in proper discussion to ANI, and I don't think pointing them to any guidelines on OR (is a self-made conspiracy theory even OR?) ... or the Wikipedia is not therapy essay ... would actually be paid attention to; is there any recourse, because, although I am definitely not a therapist or even close, I think taking away the tools for them to try to make this argument would honestly help the person behind the user detach from it. The more they're able to try and convince us, the more they are convincing themself, you know?

Hi Teahouse volunteers
Wondering where the line is: I don't think I come across as bullying in my edits or discussion, but another editor has said they feel that. And now they have said WP:DROPTHESTICK to my last talk page post, so I'm loathe to keep engaging without checking whether I may be a problem without realising it.
Just hoping for some general advice on how to proceed. In general terms, would it be acceptable to try another, very conciliatory, approach, asking whether we can both ask other editors for their views? My last tp reply has been removed, so maybe that would be a step too far if I tried again? What do others think? I could genuinely use some advice. Thanks.

Any material lacking an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the material may be removed, so I would say that being bold and removing it shouldn't be a problem. I would recommend explaining why you removed it in your edit summary to make the page history easier to read. Happy editing! Perfect4th ( talk) 13:40, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
I recently submitted a new article on the enzyme thrombokinase that was rejected by Robert McClenon because the word is contained in the article on thromboplastin. The reason for the submission is that thromboplastin is NOT an enzyme as stated in the wiki article, but rather acts on the enzyme thrombokinase, now popularly known as Factor Xa. I want to correct the thromboplastin article, make an addition to the Factor X article, and insert a new article about thrombokinase, as shown below. This should clear up some long-standing confusion about these terms. How should I procede?

Thromboplastin (TPL) or thrombokinase is derived from cell membranes and is a mixture of both phospholipids and tissue factor, neither of which are enzymes. Thromboplastin acts on and accelerates the activity of the serine protease Factor Xa, aiding blood coagulation through the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. Thromboplastin is found in brain, lung, and other tissues and especially in blood platelets. and that functions in the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin in the clotting of blood. Proposed change: Thromboplastin (TPL) is derived from cell membranes and is a mixture of both phospholipids and tissue factor, neither of which are enzymes. Thromboplastin acts on and accelerates the activity of the serine protease Factor Xa, aiding blood coagulation through the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin. Thromboplastin is found in brain, lung, and other tissues and especially in blood platelets. History: American and British scientists described deficiency of factor X independently in 1953 and 1956, respectively. As with some other coagulation factors, the factor was initially named after these patients, a Mr Rufus Stuart (1921) and a Miss Audrey Prower (1934). Factor X proposed History: American and British scientists described deficiency of factor X independently in 1953 and 1956, respectively. As with some other coagulation factors, the factor was initially named after these patients, a Mr Rufus Stuart (1921) and a Miss Audrey Prower (1934). At that time, those investigators could not know that the human genetic defect they had identified would be found in the previously characterized enzyme called thrombokinase. Thrombokinase was the name coined by Paul Morawitz in 1904 to describe the substance that converted prothrombin to thrombin and caused blood to clot[ref] . That name embodied an important new concept in understanding blood coagulation – that an enzyme was critically important in the activation of prothrombin. Morawitz believed that his enzyme came from cells such as platelets yet, in keeping with the state of knowledge about enzymes at that time, had no clear idea about the chemical nature of his thrombokinase or its mechanism of action. Those uncertainties led to decades during which the terms thrombokinase and thromboplastin were both used to describe the activator of prothrombin and led to controversy about its chemical nature and origin [ref 1952]. In 1947, J Haskell Milstone isolated a proenzyme from bovine plasma which, when activated, converted prothrombin to thrombin. Following Morawitz’s designation, he called it prothrombokinase [ref 1947] and by 1951 had purified the active enzyme, thrombokinase. Over the next several years he showed that thrombokinase was a proteolytic enzyme that, by itself, could activate prothrombin but whose activity was greatly enhanced by addition of calcium, tissue extracts and other serum factors [ref. 2021] In 1964 Milstone summarized his work and that of others: “There are many chemical reactions which are so slow that they would not be of physiological use if they were not accelerated by enzymes. We are now confronted with a reaction, catalyzed by an enzyme, which is still too slow unless aided by accessory factors.” [ref 1964] Morawitz, P (1904). "Beitrage zur Kenntnis der Blutgerinnung".

Giri is also chairman of the Hindu religious organisation Hindu Dharma Acharya Sabhais supported by three references. Looking at the first one, it contains the paragraph
Avdheshanand Giri is the chairman of the Hindu Dharma Acharya Sabha. Parmatmanand is considered to be close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.Assuming that Indiatoday is reliable, then this is completely adequate to substantiate the statement. Adding two further references (which I haven't checked) adds absolutely nothing to the article, and (as Maproom suggests) may well contribute to a reviewer saying "This article looks like too much work, so I'll go and review another one". You may find WP:REFBOMB instructive. ColinFine ( talk) 21:16, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
