I understand Wikipedia runs based on consensus, but I see some editors make irreversible changes without relevant expertise. For instance,
I created Nano Energy, which is proposed for deletion ( Talk:Nano_Energy). By any standard, Nano Energy is among the top 5% (if not 1%) scholarly journals. For example, the Danish Bibliometric Research Indicator level listed it as a distinguished journal (see Wikidata).
I re-submitted Draft:Exaly in which the contributors (I was not one of them) provided examples of high profile authors who used the scientometric analysis of their publications in their CVs. The editor, who rejected it, compared it with someone who goes to a music concert. Anyone with academic experience knows how much academics are sensitive in including reliable resources in their CVs.
I believe each category has its own standard (there are more secondary references for Instagram model comparing with scientists). All articles in a category should be judged by the same standard by people who know the field. Being an experienced Wikipedia editor does not qualify someone to judge all topics.

Hey, Teahouse. Lately, I've been editing the article on RateMyCop.com, a website which is no longer functional. There aren't any sources that state when or how it went down, but at archive.org, the last available archive is from March 2017. I wrote that the site stopped operating in 2017, but would it be better to just leave it out if it can't be verified in any reliable sources? ArcticSeeress ( talk) 15:42, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

I would like to know why this happens
Sometimes, when I add a book link (usually to Internet Archive) to an author's repertoire, a little box with an arrow pointing right appears. Sometimes it does not. What is the purpose of this box and why does it appear haphazardly for me? I think the box means external link. What can I do to make sure that this box appears consistently?

Hi everyone! This article got rejected, and I need some help to understand what exactly I can do to improve it. I did my best to follow the NPOV guidelines, did a thorough research, and tried to provide sources and references for everything (both reputable news and academic articles). Also, I included criticism so as to cover the topic as objectively as possible. In the meantime, I wrote another article on an entirely different topic, and it got approved without any objections (despite way fewer sources being available). It kind of confuses me, so I'd really appreciate any pointers you guys could throw my way. Big thanks in advance! AhimeCrudele ( talk) 20:13, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
"Even though the DIY kit lacked official backing, it stirred much attention. "are not neutral (nor even supported with a citation). Despite that, there are an awful lot of citations you have included, so could you tell us which three (and only three) citations show detailed, in-depth and independent coverage of this company? I would prefer you tell us what they are, rather than expect us to wade through to find them for ourselves.

I have the autographs of the late Kristen Nygaard and Ole-Johan Dahl plus the living C. A. R. Hoare, Alan Kay and Bjarne Stroustrup. I collected these by approaching the persons at Simula-67’s 25 years anniversary at the University of Oslo (in 1992).
In addition, I have a label from a letter to me, signed Per Brinch Hansen. He is also deceased. This most probably is his signature.
These are all rather famous computer scientists, to say it mildly!
None of these signatures have been written by the persons in mind to end up being published on the internet.
What is the Wikipedia policy on this?
I could photograph them (where the paper texture probably would be visible), or I could scan them at max 1200 DPI. But I would not do anything before I know whether it's ok. I have no other autographs, since I am no collector. Plus I won't sell them. However, I could give them away to some computer science museum, I would assume.
I have no contact with any of these "heroes of mine", so I would have no way to query them. Øyvind Teig ( talk) 16:05, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

/info/en/?search=Draft:Yitzhak_Suknik
This page about a fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was deleted (now in Draft for 6 month reprieve) the main issues being:
1. Yitzhak is not important enough to be included in Wikipedia
2. Insufficient references
3. Too much on the events surrounding Yitzhak's actions compared to the Yitzhak himself.
4. Style
Point 1. I attempted to deal with this point here but got no response.
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Koza_-_Yitzhak_Suknik
Point 2. I have used every source available,namely 5 books where his actions are described and I have edited the reference section etc.
Point 3. Re-edited and slashed to a minimum ( I think)
Point 4. Tried as much as possible but found the instructions and guides baffling.
I have received no response about the changes I have made since the original article.
I am unsure of what else to do to get it approved. Any and all guidance welcome.

Hello dear wikipedians, I want to clarify something if anyone's interested answering. I had an incident a couple of days ago with an editor, where I brought up on an article talk page diffs of their previous problematic edits in a topic area, similar to what they've recently done on that article. Since then, I had another fellow question me about this and saying that I should never discuss a contributor on an article talk page per WP:FOC. I care about guidelines and wanted to clarify this with the wider community, as I've seen many times even more experienced users commenting on each other on article talk pages.

A week ago I happened upon an article and in verifying information in the sources found that only WP:Tertiary sources were being used and misquoting the subject. I edited the passage and grabbed better sources. Another editor reverted my updated, I reverted once, they reverted again, and I attempted to find some kind of consensus, but found the editor unwilling to accept any changes. I took the discussion to BLPN, and found that the editor had been doing the same thing to others, along with hostile edit summaries, and also filed a report at ANI, and now that's being challenged as frivolous, with a proposed ban from my posting in ANI, despite providing ample evidence of the editor's pattern of behavior.
I am honestly perplexed about what I did wrong, and how to handle this in the future. (I'm also confused why no one seems to care that a celebrity's biography is stating incorrect information, but I don't have the mental space to care much anymore about that aspect). Some guidance would be appreciated. Thank you! SquareInARoundHole ( talk) 16:59, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Last night the BBC broadcast a program on British academics including Edinburgh political theorist Tim Hayward, who are accused of sharing misinformation about Ukraine on social media. It covered allegations from students that Hayward also used such material in his teaching. Criticism was first reported by various media back in March. The BBC program has now been covered by other media. However, two users (Kashmiri and Reflecktor) are gatekeeping to keep this off Hayward's wiki page. They claim this is just 'some random students', 'BBC does not dictate what we add to articles' and 'conservative media are having orgasm for 3 days, a government official responds to media query, and then someone on Wikipedia feels this must be encyclopaedic material'.
The receipts, as they say:

Hello,
I am trying to expand a page with very limited content in relation to the Worshipful Company of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. There is very little information on this page and it can be expanded to provide a lot more background and history. I have drafted an article which is aligned with what is set out on the Livery Company's own website (but not copied and pasted). I also have images I can include for the crest etc.
However, there are a couple of issues I am encountering:
1) the section on the coat of arms seems to be flagging as a risk of copy and pasting / copyright issue. The section is very factual and I have tried drafting a rephrased version but would appreciate guidance. I could leave the section out / just reference the Livery Company website but it would be good to include here as I think it is interesting.
2) I happen to be a Liveryman of the Company and so there appears to be concern over a potential conflict of interest. I think I have been blocked from editing the page as a result but it suggests there may be a way to have an editorial review to address this?
I am new to Wiki editing and as a Livery Company we are keen to educate about our history and also ensure accuracy and so it makes sense to have information form the Livery Company itself in the entry as this is probably the best source for the history, practices etc. - whilst accepting this should be reviewed to ensure if conforms with the Wikipedia conflict of interest and transparency policies. I had tried to post a simple text entry without any pictures etc at this stage as I could add those in later if appropriate and reflecting my learning curve of updating an entry.
What is the most efficient way to address these issues? Grateful for all help available and in particular if it is possible to open a dialogue with someone that can help me navigate this / improve my editing ability and contributions.
PS - I was using the visual editor - the word looking version and not the one with code etc. I also watched / read the tutorials and lots of guidance but seen to have started going round in circles on some of it!

I tried to make some changes to make the "gang stalking," page more grammatically correct, and a user told me that I have to site a source in order to do so?? Does not seem legit.
Someone please check this out. The grammar is off from the very first sentence on the page. A term like "gang stalking," cannot be used to mean, "a set of beliefs." Gang stalking is either a verb or a noun that refers to an alleged event. A specific event can't also be defined as a set of beliefs - that makes zero sense. Anybody? English Language grads? Help!
I also want to make the page more neutral and less skewed towards one specific opinion. Pages that are about a controversial topic generally seem to start off by stating something along the lines of, "An alleged event," "A group that *claims* something happened," or, "An unproven something or other." Usually, if there is a controversy inherent to the topic, Wikipedia mentions this immediately in order to remain neutral. NOT SO with the gang stalking page. What's with that?

Hello, My father Joe Portale is listed in 2 wiki pages and I would like to link his name in those pages to his own page. I have many more articles about my father and his athletic career. Most notable moments being his ohio all-american award in 1976 (already noted in wiki) playing football for the University of Florida from 1976-1979 (already noted on wiki) he was drafted twice by the New York Yankees, the first time after high-school. He played spring ball with the Yankees minor league team after his UofF football seasons. He was drafted again in 1980 after my father graduated. He played for the Yankees from 1980-1982 before being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I have online links to all of his stats. He passed away on Friday and I just want to honor him any way I can.

I am convinced people are not arguing with me in good faith on the Great Barrington Declaration page.
I am planning to give a couple weeks for people to argue with my proposed edit of removing the slanderous comment of calling the Great Barrington Declaration and the policies it advocates for fringe. There is overwhelming evidence to the contrary, could someone please advise on how to ensure Wikipedia's standards are applied in this change. I let my emotions get the best of me and had my IP address blocked, I understand edit warring is wrong but I am finding it very difficult to assume good faith with the editors preventing the change.
The World Bank recently released data that lockdowns have killed millions of more people than the Coronavirus and resulted in 1.4 million extra teenage pregnancies alone [1][2] and I think it is crucial to peoples misunderstanding that this article be corrected as soon as reasonably possible within Wikipedia guidelines.
The Great Barrington Declaration whose main purpose was to show the lack of scientific consensus around the lockdowns and social distancing policies is improperly referenced as fringe in a smear against it and this level of misinformation is clearly costing the world many lives and unintended consequences and the faster Wikipedia changes the page the faster we can all come to a better consensus on what to do next as a world.

I wanted to make a rainbow text but realized i'd literally have to make a new template with each letter and color which is just time consuming. Is there any way i can reset a color? for example test and i will reset the 'e' within test to be blue. but i'd have to split it into different {{color}} templates and it's just time consuming.

At the Luis Chavez talk page, I started a discussion about FURGOD's notability. Someone removed the redirect and added a bio of a musician whose real name is Luis Chavez (I reverted it); he goes by "FURGOD". The sourcing provided was almost entirely self-promotional, if not entirely. Would appreciate any help in judging those links. Wes sideman ( talk) 12:28, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
Basically, i was messing around with some stuff in the sandbox when i came across a problem, I can't use a bold and italic at the same time, the superscript works with the boldtext and italic, but i can't seem to make them work all together, the superscript, boldtext and italic like this:
abc
but when i use italic, it appears like this, so basically italic needs double quotation marks like this. But when i use it, it appears like this:

All of the comminuties on the coast don't even mention the bay, they refer to the larger bay, Chaleur bay instead. Need help referencing the bay, how to prove its there???

Do you wonder why admins disable account creation after blocking the vandal's account? I think it is very unfair for admins to disable the account creation for the user, when it is something for them to create new account freely. Plus anyone can edit Wikipedia no matter what edits they made and how they contribute. Any reason why implemented account creation disable? An example is "account creation blocked." Also, creating another account is the fresh new start. -- 76.20.110.116 ( talk) 22:36, 2 June 2022 (UTC)

Greetings, Editors! First and foremost, thank you for your constant assistance; greatly appreciate it. Second, I'm writing to seek clarification on the matter of BOB Finance's draft being rejected. Since it is a Western Union accredited agent, and wikipedia is a platform that is widely accessible and provides information on all branches of knowledge, this financial service agent has been attempting to establish a presence on the site. It changed the promotional content to a minimum instructive script based on your advice, however it was still rejected. Noting that it's well aware of the rules, restrictions, and reference policies of Wikipedias. For over a year, we've been making personal accounts and trying to fulfill each editor's standards, but still getting blocked and rejected constantly. Since 1997, BOB Finance has been one of Lebanon's leading financial services networks. Kindly send us reasonable clarification of this matter. Please accept my heartfelt gratitude. Melanienakad ( talk) 12:06, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
this financial service agent has been attempting to establish a presence on the siteis precisely what we mean by promotion, and is forbidden anywehre on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not interested in providing anybody with "a presence". If an article on BOB finance is eventually accepted, the article will not belong to the company, will not be for the benefit of the company, will not be controlled by the company, and will not necessarily say what the company would like it to say.

you'd want to read the notability guidelines for music topics in this case.
- first, you would need Reliable sources: sources from stuff such as news outlets or trusted sites in the music industry that have a reputation for editorial oversight and fact-checking (not blogs, not wikis, not social media).
- if you do have them, check whether these sources prove that he fits in one of these criteria.
- if you do not have reliable sources or they don't fit the notability criteria, then stop: an article won't be created.. perhaps it may be too soon to create the article, you should wait until they get notability and outlet coverage first.

I started to create pages for missing high impact academic journals. I included all necessary information to represent the journal and prove its notability. Two experienced editors rampaged my talk page with job description that I cannot leave the hard work to others for collecting further information. All the pages I created are more complete than at least 80% of similar pages on Wikipedia.
Why are older editors bossing new ones by telling what to do (not guide/assistance, but outlines of job description)?
Every page I created was in compliance with the policies. Where is it ruled that a journal page can be created if the name of the editor is added? If they feel it is needed, they can add it themselves. Why are they complaining that they are doing my job? What is my job here?

Hi, I have been editing off and on for about a decade. I had a question about a new user who joined this week, Achmad Rachmani, who focuses primarily on International versions of Television programmes, with a bit of grammar correction on the side. I've noticed that he likes to do a lot of small edits off and on over the course of many days. The programme that I know him from is Family Fortunes. Before his arrival, there was a list of International versions of Family Fortunes, about 6 or 7. Achmad proceeded to make 2 lists One was International versions and the second is now titled International versions which use similar elements to All Star Family Fortunes. Then he deleted the first grid International versions which featured actual versions of the programme. I try and correct certain mistakes he makes and he reverts them and then a few hours later he reverts the corrections that I made back on his own terms.
I see that he is correcting pages every day, doing small edits each day a little bit at a time, not all at once. He's a very busy guy. I see, there is a certain editor on Wikipedia, AldezD who sent him a message askig about his multiple minor edits and advised him to become a Pending Changes reviewer. He made the request early yesterday, but then deleted it after about an hour. It all seems a bit suspect to me.
I know that it's only one of the pages that I contribute to and I can lay off, but this editor is making continuous minor edits to the same pages, a little at a time each day, since he began earlier this week. They are erasing good data, and may continue in subsequent days perhaps making unnecessary edits. Iam not sure of the other programmes they edit, but they are getting a bit impossible with trying to figure them out. Can someone please give me advice on howw to handle them or other editors like him. Thanks.

Thanks Tigraan for the advice. Maybe We should address his talk page to talk to him?
As for specific examples, I know that on the Family Fortunes entry before his arrival, there was a list of 7 international versions listed at the bottom of the page. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Family_Fortunes&diff=1090181931&oldid=1090124512. Achmad in his many edits on the page, got rid of some internatonal versions ansseperated the International versions into 2 grids International versions and International versions that use the same graphics. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Family_Fortunes&diff=1090885280&oldid=1090885091. I fixed the header of the second grid, adding extra equals signs to make the header identical to the one on the top, he then reverted my edit soon after and about a few hours later, unexpectedly, went back to my edit. He soon after got rid of the "International versions" grid and kept the "use the same graphics" grid. Is this grid even valid and the original version simply listing the International versions would be better suited?
A couple of days later, he updated the name of the Irish show Alan Hughes Family Fotune to Alan Hughes' Family Fortune. To do a test, I reverted and rereverted the edit, keeping the added apostrophe to see what he would do, as I did not get rid of anything. Two Hours later, he himself unexplicably removed the apostrophe he added that morning. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Family_Fortunes&diff=1091158584&oldid=1091147387
The thing is I can forget about this for a while and let this go for the time being to let him have his fun, but, as you stated, he has a strange editing pattern with a passion for minor edits on various pages for many days straight. I can only vouch for what happens on Family Fortunes, but it just seems to me that something is weird with Achmad Rachmani. 135.0.252.54 ( talk) 16:45, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
I'm a native Portuguese speaker. Too little original knowledge is produced in Portuguese. To the contrary, almost all knowledge produced in any language is available in English. Furthermore, here in Latin America, there's much politically affected opinions. So, I'd suggest to make the contents already available in English also available in other languages. This would have an enormous effect in making better knowledge accessible to the world. It could be done using bots. Right? Thank you so much!!! Ecelso Zanato ( talk) 13:21, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
politician X was accused of corruption in 2018. If I do it well enough, with a source to a long newspaper article in Portuguese that talks about that politician, it would take quite a long time to be detected (few editors will read that article, and most of those who do would just see that there’s a plausible-looking source, not check it, especially if it’s in a foreign language). If a bot later translates that "fact" into the pt-Wikipedia article, that becomes a much more significant issue.

Hi, I maybe found an editor that have 2 other accounts and im quite sure about that 'cause those two accounts do the same edits, write the same things and one of this accounts entered into the talk page of the editor in question claiming to be another editor who had been making edits of that type for months, in reality this account has only existed for 2 days and also, if it were really another editor, he should not know about the conversation between me and the editor, but strangely he know about the conversation. However, I would like to report this fact and also the fact that the editor previously ignored me when I tried to talk to him about some of my changes that he undo.

Hello,
As explained in more depth
here and
here, Dutch names that have prepositions, do not have the preposition capitalised. They are also not sorted by preposition. Both these things happen regularly on EN:WP and I find myself fixing that equally regularly when I come across it. Both of these do happen correctly when such Dutch people (and their descendants) immigrate. Example:
Martin Van Buren.
I came across
Mark Van Drumpt in
Category:Sportspeople from Arnhem and fixed his name to
Mark van Drumpt. However, this man is only notable for things he did in Ireland and so I was wondering if What I did was correct. 2nd Q.) He is defaultsorted by Van Drumpt. Do I leave this as is? Change it to Drumpt? Or, do I use the |pipe and do it different for Irish and Dutch categories?

Hi there,
On the article Asian handicap, the (uncited) description of quarter goal betting is factually incorrect. It's true in half of cases (by coincidence), but is flat-out wrong in the other half. (I've given the correct answer on the talk page)
Now, I of course don't expect you to believe me, nor should you. And my understanding is that this would be original research. I haven't been able to find a source for my claim, and it's not the sort of thing you'd expect to find.
So what should I do?
Thankful for any advice!

"Der Fischer" | "The Fisher" |
---|---|
Das Wasser rauscht', das Wasser schwoll, Ein Fischer saß daran, Sah nach dem Angel ruhevoll, Kühl bis ans Herz hinan. Und wie er sitzt und wie er lauscht, Teilt sich die Flut empor: Aus dem bewegten Wasser rauscht Ein feuchtes Weib hervor. Sie sang zu ihm, sie sprach zu ihm: »Was lockst du meine Brut Mit Menschenwitz und Menschenlist Hinauf in Todesglut? Ach wüßtest du, wie's Fischlein ist So wohlig auf dem Grund, Du stiegst herunter, wie du bist, Und würdest erst gesund. Labt sich die liebe Sonne nicht, Der Mond sich nicht im Meer? Kehrt wellenatmend ihr Gesicht Nicht doppelt schöner her? Lockt dich der tiefe Himmel nicht, Das feuchtverklärte Blau? Lockt dich dein eigen Angesicht Nicht her in ew'gen Tau?« Das Wasser rauscht', das Wasser schwoll, Netzt' ihm den nackten Fuß; Sein Herz wuchs ihm so sehnsuchtsvoll Wie bei der Liebsten Gruß. Sie sprach zu ihm, sie sang zu ihm; Da war's um ihn geschehn; Halb zog sie ihn, halb sank er hin Und ward nicht mehr gesehn. |
The waters purled, the waters swelled,— A fisher sat near by, And earnestly his line beheld With tranquil heart and eye; And while he sits and watches there, He sees the waves divide, And, lo! a maid, with glistening hair, Springs from the troubled tide. She sang to him, she spake to him,— “Why lur’st thou from below, In cruel mood, my tender brood, To die in day’s fierce glow? Ah! didst thou know how sweetly there The little fishes dwell, Thou wouldst come down their lot to share, And be forever well. “Bathes not the smiling sun at night— The moon too—in the waves? Comes he not forth more fresh and bright From ocean’s cooling caves? Canst thou unmoved that deep world see, That heaven of tranquil blue, Where thine own face is beckoning thee Down to the eternal dew?” The waters purled, the waters swelled, They kissed his naked feet; His heart a nameless transport held, As if his love did greet. She spake to him, she sang to him; Then all with him was o’er,— Half drew she him, half sank he in,— He sank to rise no more. |

I added subheadings to the Wikipedia page for KFMB-TV in San Diego. The history section goes on for many paragraphs and I thought it would read better with subheadings. In ten minutes someone reverted everything I did. How does this happen? A bell goes off and someone races to the computer to undo someone else's work? It only takes ten minutes to figure out everything I did was wrong? There was no effort to keep anything I did. And no explanation of what I did wrong was given.

This is about the {{cite journal|title= |etc.=}} reference tag. Sometimes I find a scientific paper that would make an excellent source, but I only have access to the abstract, BUT the abstract has useful information in it. The abstract is a mini-introduction that the science journal allows people to read for free, with the rest of the paper behind a paywayll.
What I'm asking is if there's a way in the ref tag to indicate that the source is abstract-only. (At least until someone with a subscription or access through their university JSTOR etc. makes improvements). So far, I've been writing the word "Abstract" in the "title" space, like so: [20] I couldn't access the full text of the paper, but the abstract said how big the frog was and what it looked like.
Almost all professional science papers have abstracts, and huge numbers of papers are paywalled. Has someone on Wikipedia addressed this already? Darkfrog24 ( talk) 16:14, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

and this one source that the simple english wiki cites calls him both Jean Mutebusi and Jules Mutebusi

Just found an edit summary removing changes I made to LGBT rights in Brunei that says "vandal ip". I thought I improved it, as the newer source did not seem to support the other person's addition. I mainly restored what was there before, so did not realise I would be doing anything bad. I moved the person's source into further reading, and added some extra references. I am sorry if I did the wrong thing. After looking around, I can see the editor does lots on LGBT pages, so probably knows lots, and maybe I should have asked them first. I left a message on the talk page saying I am not a vandal. Is that okay? Can someone check if that at least that was done right, please?
Also, I tried to use the multiref template here, but I did it wrong, because I ended up with a lot of white space at the bottom of the group.

I would like advice on how to proceed (if at all) to post a systematic tabulation of works by over 200 artists, many of whom are the subject of articles in Wikipedia. The information is compiled from the publication, Le Musée français, and from historical documentation relating to its publication.
My effort to post the table with this article has been denied for several different reasons: (1) an engineer did this for me under their own account because I am not confident with procedures, (2) because the table utilizes an online source it was said to be redundant, (3) because the table utilizes descriptive information from a widely cited Masters thesis it was held to be unauthoritative and (4) although, consequently, redundant and unauthoritative, the posting was also held to be self-promoting, because the thesis was mine from 40 years ago. (Btw, I retired 10 yrs. ago.)
On the other hand, the posting on Wikipedia would provide opportunity to connect dozens articles about major and minor artists through reference to their works ... and also it would be a unique occasion to identify and appreciate the content of a publication which was admired as a work of art, above all others of similar character when it was produced.
Does the table belong in a separate but related article, e.g. “Engravings of the Le Musée français?” Or on Wikipedia.fr, rather than on Wikipedia.en? George-Amherst ( talk) 16:55, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
uploading the table on behalf of User:X who asked me for assistance in real life). That is because secret off-wiki coordination can give the impression that multiple independent editors have the same opinion, which biases potential debates (see WP:MEAT). Here, I do not think that is a significant concern (after all, 19th-century art journals is not a really controversial topic area on Wikipedia), but still.

Hi - I am the Club Secretary of Wanderers Football Club. The original club, as you can see in the Wikipedia entry, was formed in 1859 but folded in 1887. I reformed the club with the endorsement of the original club's great-grand-daughter (proof of which I have via email). We have been recognised by the Football Association as the continuation of the original club - of which I have photographic evidence, including the FA Chairman and I at a restaging of the 1872 FA Cup Final at The Oval in 2012, the secretary and chairman of the Royal Engineers and the secretary and chairman of Wanderers launching the FA Cup tournament in 2012, and video footage from the widely viewed 2022 FA Cup Final when the chairman of the Royal Engineers and I were invited - by the FA - to parade the former FA Cup trophies on to the pitch at Wembley. There is absolutely nothing in any formal documentary evidence to suggest that the Wanderers (2009- ) is not a direct continuation from Wanderers (1859-1887?). However, two users seem set on dismantling the information about our club. I do not know who they are or why they are doing it and I am not sure how best to resolve this issue - or how best to share the evidence I have, if this were appropriate to add to the sum knowledge of Wikipedia.

The reason why I am reaching out is because after submitting the article, the reviewer said the sources were not reliable. These sources were published by the best 2 universities in Canada. The company I am writing about is new and not peer reviewed article has been written about it. All the sources I get are from the schools and news letter that have published the company. I don't know what else to do because I thought my sources were reliable since the University of Toronto and Queen's university are the best in Canada and all the sources cited in the article came from them. Please advise me on how I should proceed because I have tried my very very best and also consulted many people who agreed that the sources I provided should be considered reliable considering that the company is new and there haven't been any peer article written about it yet.

I made some edits to the Ponce de León page. My revisions were erased by Carlstak, using as his reason the fact that my book, "The Maps That Change Florida's History" was self-published. I seriously doubt that he read the book. I'd like to write directly to him, but don't know how to connect with him. He has been most unfair. While I certainly agree that a person with expertise on a subject with "editorial" privileges should be able to correct an error, I don't understand why any person should be allowed to entirely remove something that someone else had painstakingly added to Wikipedia, solely because the reference used was self-published. Does the fact that a book is self-published automatically remove it as a valid reference source? If it does, you should remove Henry Harrisse and his "Discovery of North America". That book is probably the most valuable single reference work on the subject. None of Harrisse's books ever found a publisher in the United States. All were self-published, in English, in France. On the other hand, there are many books that are published by "legitimate" publishers that contain astoundingly incorrect conclusions by the author that are presented not as opinions, but as facts. The best example at hand is "A Land So Strange" by Andrés Reséndez. It was published by a "proper" press, and written by a PhD professor of history. It is often cited on Wikipedia, yet is so grossly incorrect as to the basis by which Narváez found himself in Florida that it is laughable, as are his descriptions as to navigation and piloting of the era. Should I go and erase all references to that silly book? It is a best seller! The information in my book is about very, very rare maps. I have provided hi res scans of the maps to the University of Florida. They have been placed on the UF website for all (including Carlstak) to see. My book refers to place names (Bahia de Juan Ponce, Rio de la Paz) on the maps, as well as to the latitudes shown on them. The maps provide clear proof that the Bay of Juan Ponce is Tampa Bay, not Charlotte Harbor, as has been previously believed. It is not me, or my book, that is significant. What is significant is that I found the maps, studied them and the history surrounding them, wrote a book about them, and then put the maps in the public domain. That is a service to any scholar or researcher, and I'm proud to have done it. But Carlstak unilaterally removed all reference to the book. That's not right. I will not add-back the information that Carlstak erased, because he or someone else might just erase it again.

I think that the Wikipedia policy of automatically excluding self-published works should be revisited, all Wikipedia policies are determined by consensus, and it is possible in principle to change those policies (though obviously it's difficult to change deeply entrenched policies). If you wish to pursue this path, try opening a discussion at WP:VPP. You would need to persuade people that any change was for the benefit of Wikipedia. ColinFine ( talk) 16:32, 7 June 2022 (UTC)

I understand Wikipedia runs based on consensus, but I see some editors make irreversible changes without relevant expertise. For instance,
I created Nano Energy, which is proposed for deletion ( Talk:Nano_Energy). By any standard, Nano Energy is among the top 5% (if not 1%) scholarly journals. For example, the Danish Bibliometric Research Indicator level listed it as a distinguished journal (see Wikidata).
I re-submitted Draft:Exaly in which the contributors (I was not one of them) provided examples of high profile authors who used the scientometric analysis of their publications in their CVs. The editor, who rejected it, compared it with someone who goes to a music concert. Anyone with academic experience knows how much academics are sensitive in including reliable resources in their CVs.
I believe each category has its own standard (there are more secondary references for Instagram model comparing with scientists). All articles in a category should be judged by the same standard by people who know the field. Being an experienced Wikipedia editor does not qualify someone to judge all topics.

Hey, Teahouse. Lately, I've been editing the article on RateMyCop.com, a website which is no longer functional. There aren't any sources that state when or how it went down, but at archive.org, the last available archive is from March 2017.

I would like to know why this happens
Sometimes, when I add a book link (usually to Internet Archive) to an author's repertoire, a little box with an arrow pointing right appears. Sometimes it does not. What is the purpose of this box and why does it appear haphazardly for me? I think the box means external link. What can I do to make sure that this box appears consistently?

Hi everyone! This article got rejected, and I need some help to understand what exactly I can do to improve it. I did my best to follow the NPOV guidelines, did a thorough research, and tried to provide sources and references for everything (both reputable news and academic articles). Also, I included criticism so as to cover the topic as objectively as possible. In the meantime, I wrote another article on an entirely different topic, and it got approved without any objections (despite way fewer sources being available). It kind of confuses me, so I'd really appreciate any pointers you guys could throw my way. Big thanks in advance! AhimeCrudele ( talk) 20:13, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Despite that, there are an awful lot of citations you have included, so could you tell us which three (and only three) citations show detailed, in-depth and independent coverage of this company?

I have the autographs of the late Kristen Nygaard and Ole-Johan Dahl plus the living C. A. R. Hoare, Alan Kay and Bjarne Stroustrup. I collected these by approaching the persons at Simula-67’s 25 years anniversary at the University of Oslo (in 1992).
In addition, I have a label from a letter to me, signed Per Brinch Hansen. He is also deceased. This most probably is his signature.
These are all rather famous computer scientists, to say it mildly!
None of these signatures have been written by the persons in mind to end up being published on the internet.
What is the Wikipedia policy on this?
I could photograph them (where the paper texture probably would be visible), or I could scan them at max 1200 DPI. But I would not do anything before I know whether it's ok. I have no other autographs, since I am no collector. Plus I won't sell them. However, I could give them away to some computer science museum, I would assume.
I have no contact with any of these "heroes of mine", so I would have no way to query them. Øyvind Teig ( talk) 16:05, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

/info/en/?search=Draft:Yitzhak_Suknik
This page about a fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was deleted (now in Draft for 6 month reprieve) the main issues being:
1. Yitzhak is not important enough to be included in Wikipedia
2. Insufficient references
3. Too much on the events surrounding Yitzhak's actions compared to the Yitzhak himself.
4. Style
Point 1. I attempted to deal with this point here but got no response.
/info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Koza_-_Yitzhak_Suknik
Point 2. I have used every source available,namely 5 books where his actions are described and I have edited the reference section etc.
Point 3. Re-edited and slashed to a minimum ( I think)
Point 4. Tried as much as possible but found the instructions and guides baffling.
I have received no response about the changes I have made since the original article.
I am unsure of what else to do to get it approved. Any and all guidance welcome.

Hello dear wikipedians, I want to clarify something if anyone's interested answering. I had an incident a couple of days ago with an editor, where I brought up on an article talk page diffs of their previous problematic edits in a topic area, similar to what they've recently done on that article. Since then, I had another fellow question me about this and saying that I should never discuss a contributor on an article talk page per WP:FOC. I care about guidelines and wanted to clarify this with the wider community, as I've seen many times even more experienced users commenting on each other on article talk pages.

A week ago I happened upon an article and in verifying information in the sources found that only WP:Tertiary sources were being used and misquoting the subject. I edited the passage and grabbed better sources. Another editor reverted my updated, I reverted once, they reverted again, and I attempted to find some kind of consensus, but found the editor unwilling to accept any changes. I took the discussion to BLPN, and found that the editor had been doing the same thing to others, along with hostile edit summaries, and also filed a report at ANI, and now that's being challenged as frivolous, with a proposed ban from my posting in ANI, despite providing ample evidence of the editor's pattern of behavior.
I am honestly perplexed about what I did wrong, and how to handle this in the future. (I'm also confused why no one seems to care that a celebrity's biography is stating incorrect information, but I don't have the mental space to care much anymore about that aspect). Some guidance would be appreciated. Thank you! SquareInARoundHole ( talk) 16:59, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Last night the BBC broadcast a program on British academics including Edinburgh political theorist Tim Hayward, who are accused of sharing misinformation about Ukraine on social media. It covered allegations from students that Hayward also used such material in his teaching. Criticism was first reported by various media back in March. The BBC program has now been covered by other media. However, two users (Kashmiri and Reflecktor) are gatekeeping to keep this off Hayward's wiki page. They claim this is just 'some random students', 'BBC does not dictate what we add to articles' and 'conservative media are having orgasm for 3 days, a government official responds to media query, and then someone on Wikipedia feels this must be encyclopaedic material'.
The receipts, as they say:

Hello,
I am trying to expand a page with very limited content in relation to the Worshipful Company of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. There is very little information on this page and it can be expanded to provide a lot more background and history. I have drafted an article which is aligned with what is set out on the Livery Company's own website (but not copied and pasted). I also have images I can include for the crest etc.
However, there are a couple of issues I am encountering:
1) the section on the coat of arms seems to be flagging as a risk of copy and pasting / copyright issue. The section is very factual and I have tried drafting a rephrased version but would appreciate guidance. I could leave the section out / just reference the Livery Company website but it would be good to include here as I think it is interesting.
2) I happen to be a Liveryman of the Company and so there appears to be concern over a potential conflict of interest. I think I have been blocked from editing the page as a result but it suggests there may be a way to have an editorial review to address this?
I am new to Wiki editing and as a Livery Company we are keen to educate about our history and also ensure accuracy and so it makes sense to have information form the Livery Company itself in the entry as this is probably the best source for the history, practices etc. - whilst accepting this should be reviewed to ensure if conforms with the Wikipedia conflict of interest and transparency policies. I had tried to post a simple text entry without any pictures etc at this stage as I could add those in later if appropriate and reflecting my learning curve of updating an entry.
What is the most efficient way to address these issues? Grateful for all help available and in particular if it is possible to open a dialogue with someone that can help me navigate this / improve my editing ability and contributions.
PS - I was using the visual editor - the word looking version and not the one with code etc. I also watched / read the tutorials and lots of guidance but seen to have started going round in circles on some of it!

I tried to make some changes to make the "gang stalking," page more grammatically correct, and a user told me that I have to site a source in order to do so?? Does not seem legit.
Someone please check this out. The grammar is off from the very first sentence on the page. A term like "gang stalking," cannot be used to mean, "a set of beliefs." Gang stalking is either a verb or a noun that refers to an alleged event. A specific event can't also be defined as a set of beliefs - that makes zero sense. Anybody? English Language grads? Help!
I also want to make the page more neutral and less skewed towards one specific opinion. Pages that are about a controversial topic generally seem to start off by stating something along the lines of, "An alleged event," "A group that *claims* something happened," or, "An unproven something or other." Usually, if there is a controversy inherent to the topic, Wikipedia mentions this immediately in order to remain neutral. NOT SO with the gang stalking page. What's with that?

Hello, My father Joe Portale is listed in 2 wiki pages and I would like to link his name in those pages to his own page. I have many more articles about my father and his athletic career. Most notable moments being his ohio all-american award in 1976 (already noted in wiki) playing football for the University of Florida from 1976-1979 (already noted on wiki) he was drafted twice by the New York Yankees, the first time after high-school. He played spring ball with the Yankees minor league team after his UofF football seasons. He was drafted again in 1980 after my father graduated. He played for the Yankees from 1980-1982 before being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I have online links to all of his stats. He passed away on Friday and I just want to honor him any way I can.

I am convinced people are not arguing with me in good faith on the Great Barrington Declaration page.
I am planning to give a couple weeks for people to argue with my proposed edit of removing the slanderous comment of calling the Great Barrington Declaration and the policies it advocates for fringe. There is overwhelming evidence to the contrary, could someone please advise on how to ensure Wikipedia's standards are applied in this change. I let my emotions get the best of me and had my IP address blocked, I understand edit warring is wrong but I am finding it very difficult to assume good faith with the editors preventing the change.
The World Bank recently released data that lockdowns have killed millions of more people than the Coronavirus and resulted in 1.4 million extra teenage pregnancies alone [1][2] and I think it is crucial to peoples misunderstanding that this article be corrected as soon as reasonably possible within Wikipedia guidelines.
The Great Barrington Declaration whose main purpose was to show the lack of scientific consensus around the lockdowns and social distancing policies is improperly referenced as fringe in a smear against it and this level of misinformation is clearly costing the world many lives and unintended consequences and the faster Wikipedia changes the page the faster we can all come to a better consensus on what to do next as a world.

Basically i was messing around some stuff with the {{color}} template. I wanted to make a rainbow text but realized i'd literally have to make a new template with each letter and color which is just time consuming. Is there any way i can reset a color? for example test and i will reset the 'e' within test to be blue. but i'd have to split it into different {{color}} templates and it's just time consuming.

Do you wonder why admins disable account creation after blocking the vandal's account? I think it is very unfair for admins to disable the account creation for the user, when it is something for them to create new account freely. Plus anyone can edit Wikipedia no matter what edits they made and how they contribute. Any reason why implemented account creation disable? An example is "account creation blocked."

Greetings, Editors! First and foremost, thank you for your constant assistance; greatly appreciate it. Second, I'm writing to seek clarification on the matter of BOB Finance's draft being rejected. Since it is a Western Union accredited agent, and wikipedia is a platform that is widely accessible and provides information on all branches of knowledge, this financial service agent has been attempting to establish a presence on the site. It changed the promotional content to a minimum instructive script based on your advice, however it was still rejected. Noting that it's well aware of the rules, restrictions, and reference policies of Wikipedias. For over a year, we've been making personal accounts and trying to fulfill each editor's standards, but still getting blocked and rejected constantly. Since 1997, BOB Finance has been one of Lebanon's leading financial services networks. Kindly send us reasonable clarification of this matter. Please accept my heartfelt gratitude. Melanienakad ( talk) 12:06, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
this financial service agent has been attempting to establish a presence on the siteis precisely what we mean by promotion, and is forbidden anywehre on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not interested in providing anybody with "a presence". If an article on BOB finance is eventually accepted, the article will not belong to the company, will not be for the benefit of the company, will not be controlled by the company, and will not necessarily say what the company would like it to say.

you'd want to read the notability guidelines for music topics in this case.
- first, you would need Reliable sources: sources from stuff such as news outlets or trusted sites in the music industry that have a reputation for editorial oversight and fact-checking (not blogs, not wikis, not social media).
- if you do have them, check whether these sources prove that he fits in one of these criteria.
- if you do not have reliable sources or they don't fit the notability criteria, then stop: an article won't be created.. perhaps it may be too soon to create the article, you should wait until they get notability and outlet coverage first.

I started to create pages for missing high impact academic journals. I included all necessary information to represent the journal and prove its notability. Two experienced editors rampaged my talk page with job description that I cannot leave the hard work to others for collecting further information. All the pages I created are more complete than at least 80% of similar pages on Wikipedia.
Why are older editors bossing new ones by telling what to do (not guide/assistance, but outlines of job description)?
Every page I created was in compliance with the policies. Where is it ruled that a journal page can be created if the name of the editor is added? If they feel it is needed, they can add it themselves. Why are they complaining that they are doing my job? What is my job here?

Hi, I have been editing off and on for about a decade. I had a question about a new user who joined this week, Achmad Rachmani, who focuses primarily on International versions of Television programmes, with a bit of grammar correction on the side. I've noticed that he likes to do a lot of small edits off and on over the course of many days. The programme that I know him from is Family Fortunes. Before his arrival, there was a list of International versions of Family Fortunes, about 6 or 7. Achmad proceeded to make 2 lists One was International versions and the second is now titled International versions which use similar elements to All Star Family Fortunes. Then he deleted the first grid International versions which featured actual versions of the programme. I try and correct certain mistakes he makes and he reverts them and then a few hours later he reverts the corrections that I made back on his own terms.
I see that he is correcting pages every day, doing small edits each day a little bit at a time, not all at once. He's a very busy guy. I see, there is a certain editor on Wikipedia, AldezD who sent him a message askig about his multiple minor edits and advised him to become a Pending Changes reviewer. He made the request early yesterday, but then deleted it after about an hour. It all seems a bit suspect to me.
I know that it's only one of the pages that I contribute to and I can lay off, but this editor is making continuous minor edits to the same pages, a little at a time each day, since he began earlier this week. They are erasing good data, and may continue in subsequent days perhaps making unnecessary edits. Iam not sure of the other programmes they edit, but they are getting a bit impossible with trying to figure them out. Can someone please give me advice on howw to handle them or other editors like him. Thanks.

Thanks Tigraan for the advice. Maybe We should address his talk page to talk to him?
As for specific examples, I know that on the Family Fortunes entry before his arrival, there was a list of 7 international versions listed at the bottom of the page. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Family_Fortunes&diff=1090181931&oldid=1090124512. Achmad in his many edits on the page, got rid of some internatonal versions ansseperated the International versions into 2 grids International versions and International versions that use the same graphics. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Family_Fortunes&diff=1090885280&oldid=1090885091. I fixed the header of the second grid, adding extra equals signs to make the header identical to the one on the top, he then reverted my edit soon after and about a few hours later, unexpectedly, went back to my edit. He soon after got rid of the "International versions" grid and kept the "use the same graphics" grid. Is this grid even valid and the original version simply listing the International versions would be better suited?
A couple of days later, he updated the name of the Irish show Alan Hughes Family Fotune to Alan Hughes' Family Fortune. To do a test, I reverted and rereverted the edit, keeping the added apostrophe to see what he would do, as I did not get rid of anything. Two Hours later, he himself unexplicably removed the apostrophe he added that morning. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Family_Fortunes&diff=1091158584&oldid=1091147387
The thing is I can forget about this for a while and let this go for the time being to let him have his fun, but, as you stated, he has a strange editing pattern with a passion for minor edits on various pages for many days straight. I can only vouch for what happens on Family Fortunes, but it just seems to me that something is weird with Achmad Rachmani. 135.0.252.54 ( talk) 16:45, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
I'm a native Portuguese speaker. Too little original knowledge is produced in Portuguese. To the contrary, almost all knowledge produced in any language is available in English. Furthermore, here in Latin America, there's much politically affected opinions. So, I'd suggest to make the contents already available in English also available in other languages. This would have an enormous effect in making better knowledge accessible to the world. It could be done using bots. Right? Thank you so much!!! Ecelso Zanato ( talk) 13:21, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
politician X was accused of corruption in 2018. If I do it well enough, with a source to a long newspaper article in Portuguese that talks about that politician, it would take quite a long time to be detected (few editors will read that article, and most of those who do would just see that there’s a plausible-looking source, not check it, especially if it’s in a foreign language). If a bot later translates that "fact" into the pt-Wikipedia article, that becomes a much more significant issue.

Hi, I maybe found an editor that have 2 other accounts and im quite sure about that 'cause those two accounts do the same edits, write the same things and one of this accounts entered into the talk page of the editor in question claiming to be another editor who had been making edits of that type for months, in reality this account has only existed for 2 days and also, if it were really another editor, he should not know about the conversation between me and the editor, but strangely he know about the conversation. However, I would like to report this fact and also the fact that the editor previously ignored me when I tried to talk to him about some of my changes that he undo.

Hello,
As explained in more depth
here and
here, Dutch names that have prepositions, do not have the preposition capitalised. They are also not sorted by preposition. Both these things happen regularly on EN:WP and I find myself fixing that equally regularly when I come across it. Both of these do happen correctly when such Dutch people (and their descendants) immigrate. Example:
Martin Van Buren.
I came across
Mark Van Drumpt in
Category:Sportspeople from Arnhem and fixed his name to
Mark van Drumpt. However, this man is only notable for things he did in Ireland and so I was wondering if What I did was correct. 2nd Q.) He is defaultsorted by Van Drumpt. Do I leave this as is? Change it to Drumpt? Or, do I use the |pipe and do it different for Irish and Dutch categories?

On the article Asian handicap, the (uncited) description of quarter goal betting is factually incorrect. It's true in half of cases (by coincidence), but is flat-out wrong in the other half. (I've given the correct answer on the talk page)
Now, I of course don't expect you to believe me, nor should you. And my understanding is that this would be original research. I haven't been able to find a source for my claim, and it's not the sort of thing you'd expect to find.
So what should I do?

"Der Fischer" | "The Fisher" |
---|---|
Das Wasser rauscht', das Wasser schwoll, Ein Fischer saß daran, Sah nach dem Angel ruhevoll, Kühl bis ans Herz hinan. Und wie er sitzt und wie er lauscht, Teilt sich die Flut empor: Aus dem bewegten Wasser rauscht Ein feuchtes Weib hervor. Sie sang zu ihm, sie sprach zu ihm: »Was lockst du meine Brut Mit Menschenwitz und Menschenlist Hinauf in Todesglut? Ach wüßtest du, wie's Fischlein ist So wohlig auf dem Grund, Du stiegst herunter, wie du bist, Und würdest erst gesund. Labt sich die liebe Sonne nicht, Der Mond sich nicht im Meer? Kehrt wellenatmend ihr Gesicht Nicht doppelt schöner her? Lockt dich der tiefe Himmel nicht, Das feuchtverklärte Blau? Lockt dich dein eigen Angesicht Nicht her in ew'gen Tau?« Das Wasser rauscht', das Wasser schwoll, Netzt' ihm den nackten Fuß; Sein Herz wuchs ihm so sehnsuchtsvoll Wie bei der Liebsten Gruß. Sie sprach zu ihm, sie sang zu ihm; Da war's um ihn geschehn; Halb zog sie ihn, halb sank er hin Und ward nicht mehr gesehn. |
The waters purled, the waters swelled,— A fisher sat near by, And earnestly his line beheld With tranquil heart and eye; And while he sits and watches there, He sees the waves divide, And, lo! a maid, with glistening hair, Springs from the troubled tide. She sang to him, she spake to him,— “Why lur’st thou from below, In cruel mood, my tender brood, To die in day’s fierce glow? Ah! didst thou know how sweetly there The little fishes dwell, Thou wouldst come down their lot to share, And be forever well. “Bathes not the smiling sun at night— The moon too—in the waves? Comes he not forth more fresh and bright From ocean’s cooling caves? Canst thou unmoved that deep world see, That heaven of tranquil blue, Where thine own face is beckoning thee Down to the eternal dew?” The waters purled, the waters swelled, They kissed his naked feet; His heart a nameless transport held, As if his love did greet. She spake to him, she sang to him; Then all with him was o’er,— Half drew she him, half sank he in,— He sank to rise no more. |

I added subheadings to the Wikipedia page for KFMB-TV in San Diego. The history section goes on for many paragraphs and I thought it would read better with subheadings. In ten minutes someone reverted everything I did. How does this happen? A bell goes off and someone races to the computer to undo someone else's work? It only takes ten minutes to figure out everything I did was wrong? There was no effort to keep anything I did. And no explanation of what I did wrong was given.

This is about the {{cite journal|title= |etc.=}} reference tag. Sometimes I find a scientific paper that would make an excellent source, but I only have access to the abstract, BUT the abstract has useful information in it. The abstract is a mini-introduction that the science journal allows people to read for free, with the rest of the paper behind a paywayll.
What I'm asking is if there's a way in the ref tag to indicate that the source is abstract-only. (At least until someone with a subscription or access through their university JSTOR etc. makes improvements). So far, I've been writing the word "Abstract" in the "title" space, like so: [20] I couldn't access the full text of the paper, but the abstract said how big the frog was and what it looked like.
Almost all professional science papers have abstracts, and huge numbers of papers are paywalled. Has someone on Wikipedia addressed this already? Darkfrog24 ( talk) 16:14, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

and this one source that the simple english wiki cites calls him both Jean Mutebusi and Jules Mutebusi

Just found an edit summary removing changes I made to LGBT rights in Brunei that says "vandal ip". I thought I improved it, as the newer source did not seem to support the other person's addition. I mainly restored what was there before, so did not realise I would be doing anything bad. I moved the person's source into further reading, and added some extra references. I am sorry if I did the wrong thing. After looking around, I can see the editor does lots on LGBT pages, so probably knows lots, and maybe I should have asked them first. I left a message on the talk page saying I am not a vandal. Is that okay? Can someone check if that at least that was done right, please?
Also, I tried to use the multiref template here, but I did it wrong, because I ended up with a lot of white space at the bottom of the group.

I would like advice on how to proceed (if at all) to post a systematic tabulation of works by over 200 artists, many of whom are the subject of articles in Wikipedia. The information is compiled from the publication, Le Musée français, and from historical documentation relating to its publication.
My effort to post the table with this article has been denied for several different reasons: (1) an engineer did this for me under their own account because I am not confident with procedures, (2) because the table utilizes an online source it was said to be redundant, (3) because the table utilizes descriptive information from a widely cited Masters thesis it was held to be unauthoritative and (4) although, consequently, redundant and unauthoritative, the posting was also held to be self-promoting, because the thesis was mine from 40 years ago. (Btw, I retired 10 yrs. ago.)
On the other hand, the posting on Wikipedia would provide opportunity to connect dozens articles about major and minor artists through reference to their works ... and also it would be a unique occasion to identify and appreciate the content of a publication which was admired as a work of art, above all others of similar character when it was produced.
Does the table belong in a separate but related article, e.g. “Engravings of the Le Musée français?” Or on Wikipedia.fr, rather than on Wikipedia.en? George-Amherst ( talk) 16:55, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
uploading the table on behalf of User:X who asked me for assistance in real life). That is because secret off-wiki coordination can give the impression that multiple independent editors have the same opinion, which biases potential debates (see WP:MEAT). Here, I do not think that is a significant concern (after all, 19th-century art journals is not a really controversial topic area on Wikipedia), but still.

Hi - I am the Club Secretary of Wanderers Football Club. The original club, as you can see in the Wikipedia entry, was formed in 1859 but folded in 1887. I reformed the club with the endorsement of the original club's great-grand-daughter (proof of which I have via email). We have been recognised by the Football Association as the continuation of the original club - of which I have photographic evidence, including the FA Chairman and I at a restaging of the 1872 FA Cup Final at The Oval in 2012, the secretary and chairman of the Royal Engineers and the secretary and chairman of Wanderers launching the FA Cup tournament in 2012, and video footage from the widely viewed 2022 FA Cup Final when the chairman of the Royal Engineers and I were invited - by the FA - to parade the former FA Cup trophies on to the pitch at Wembley. There is absolutely nothing in any formal documentary evidence to suggest that the Wanderers (2009- ) is not a direct continuation from Wanderers (1859-1887?). However, two users seem set on dismantling the information about our club. I do not know who they are or why they are doing it and I am not sure how best to resolve this issue - or how best to share the evidence I have, if this were appropriate to add to the sum knowledge of Wikipedia.

The reason why I am reaching out is because after submitting the article, the reviewer said the sources were not reliable. These sources were published by the best 2 universities in Canada. The company I am writing about is new and not peer reviewed article has been written about it. All the sources I get are from the schools and news letter that have published the company. I don't know what else to do because I thought my sources were reliable since the University of Toronto and Queen's university are the best in Canada and all the sources cited in the article came from them. Please advise me on how I should proceed because I have tried my very very best and also consulted many people who agreed that the sources I provided should be considered reliable considering that the company is new and there haven't been any peer article written about it yet.

I made some edits to the Ponce de León page. My revisions were erased by Carlstak, using as his reason the fact that my book, "The Maps That Change Florida's History" was self-published. I seriously doubt that he read the book. I'd like to write directly to him, but don't know how to connect with him. He has been most unfair. While I certainly agree that a person with expertise on a subject with "editorial" privileges should be able to correct an error, I don't understand why any person should be allowed to entirely remove something that someone else had painstakingly added to Wikipedia, solely because the reference used was self-published. Does the fact that a book is self-published automatically remove it as a valid reference source? If it does, you should remove Henry Harrisse and his "Discovery of North America". That book is probably the most valuable single reference work on the subject. None of Harrisse's books ever found a publisher in the United States. All were self-published, in English, in France. On the other hand, there are many books that are published by "legitimate" publishers that contain astoundingly incorrect conclusions by the author that are presented not as opinions, but as facts. The best example at hand is "A Land So Strange" by Andrés Reséndez. It was published by a "proper" press, and written by a PhD professor of history. It is often cited on Wikipedia, yet is so grossly incorrect as to the basis by which Narváez found himself in Florida that it is laughable, as are his descriptions as to navigation and piloting of the era. Should I go and erase all references to that silly book? It is a best seller! The information in my book is about very, very rare maps. I have provided hi res scans of the maps to the University of Florida. They have been placed on the UF website for all (including Carlstak) to see. My book refers to place names (Bahia de Juan Ponce, Rio de la Paz) on the maps, as well as to the latitudes shown on them. The maps provide clear proof that the Bay of Juan Ponce is Tampa Bay, not Charlotte Harbor, as has been previously believed. It is not me, or my book, that is significant. What is significant is that I found the maps, studied them and the history surrounding them, wrote a book about them, and then put the maps in the public domain. That is a service to any scholar or researcher, and I'm proud to have done it. But Carlstak unilaterally removed all reference to the book. That's not right. I will not add-back the information that Carlstak erased, because he or someone else might just erase it again. That's a loss to anyone truly interested in Ponce de León, Narváez, and the Spanish entradas into La Florida. Jim MacDougald ( talk) 13:49, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
I think that the Wikipedia policy of automatically excluding self-published works should be revisited, all Wikipedia policies are determined by consensus, and it is possible in principle to change those policies (though obviously it's difficult to change deeply entrenched policies). If you wish to pursue this path, try opening a discussion at WP:VPP. You would need to persuade people that any change was for the benefit of Wikipedia. ColinFine ( talk) 16:32, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
FYI for all: Article is Juan Ponce de León and Jim's additions (reverted) were done in October 2021. David notMD ( talk) 15:21, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
