Does there exist a tool for automatically identifying pages that exist on other language wikis but not on en.wiki? I've been doing translation work between us and out French counterpart, and so far, I've needed to manually go to the other wikipedia in order to check if the page exists. Just something to help identify pages needing creation.
Maybe a tool or function on WikiData, if not on en.wiki proper? Etriusus ( Talk) 19:09, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

I want a or want to create a redirect category for a redirect "to a valid article". I've come across a lot of article titles which hosted articles (un-reffed or not) and get deleted, but are morphed (pop culture word for transformed) into excellent feature article candidate. Take this page link as an example to a proposed deleted article that was merged into the bigger article that I've just redirected to its current official name.

Fellow Wikipedians, greetings! I've a query regarding my article(s) for submission. Roughly two weeks ago, I submitted a draft titled JetSetGo, and about 3 weeks ago, I submitted another draft about a significant suspension bridge in India. Unfortunately, to my disappointment, they haven't been reviewed yet. Now don't get me wrong: I'm not impatient reckless—I'm aware they can take upto 4 months to get reviewed, and therefore 2-3 weeks is a relatively short time. However, as far as my observation is concerned, most draft articles get reviewed within the first few days of submission itself. Rarely do they take any longer than that, except of course in certain cases. Well at least in my case, all the drafts I submitted prior to the aforementioned ones were reviewed rather soon. So, frankly, that is my question: have the reviewing patterns changed lately, have my drafts got some issue(s), is this all just purely an outcome of chance, or am I just being absurd and impatient? Or something else? I'd be glad to know. Also, I there are some issues with my draft, for instance missing Wikiprojects or else, please do assist me/help me out. Thanks!

Hi there! I submitted my first two articles submission to Wikipedia. Both were reviewed and not accepted. My focus is Wikipedia pages for social media (niche). For one of them, Jessy Taylor, I cited news coverage from multiple mainstream newspapers published worldwide. However, since I'm new, I understand I didn't go to the depth and didn't include everyone. I most likely did not do it correctly. Before any resubmission, I need to understand how many additional references are required to meet the notability standard for Jessy Taylor. I strongly feel that the Taylor Wikipedia page has a higher chance of getting approved than the Mary Magdelene since there wasn't much, to begin with, for Mary.
Regarding Mary Magdelene's draft, not sure what else I could add; everything that was available was on the DRAFT. Mary meets no notability standards and is a lot harder to write about. I did find a yahoo article about Jessyt that I'm wondering if I can use. All the people I'm writing about have a solid social media presence. Furthermore, I am now starting a wiki draft about Playmate Tessi. If anyone can help me with the Jessy or Playmate Tessi draft I'm starting, I would appreciate that. I have been a writer for four years. However, Wikipedia is much different than anything I had done. I'm a second-year college student, but I started school late due to other responblites, and now I have time to follow my passion. I love learning and expanding my writing knowledge.

I've asked about this before and ended up going around in a circle having been told that the references in this article are fine and that Wikipedia is the starting point for projects and no more. After giving this some consideration I have decided to give it one more try with the reasoning that if the starting point is misleading it becomes a dead end. My concern is that the first two references given, to Pevsner and Historic England, both date the earliest part of this church to about the early 13th century, no problem with that so do I. The article then claims a date of 1080 for the construction of the chancel thus contradicting the first two references. It is also claimed that the chancel is Early English in style, agreed, but this style is commonly agreed to date from the late 12th to late 13th centuries, including by the Wikipedia article on it. There are also concerns with other sources making unsubstantiated claims but that is not Wikipedia's problem.
What I would like to know is how I can insert a box warning of misleading references similar to those I have seen on other articles where better, or more, referencing is needed. Historydebunk ( talk) 15:48, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Please add text to the image, The sleeve of pink tissue around the lamb's neck is: the stretched perineal skin and underlying pelvic floor muscle. Once the lamb exits the birth canal, the elastic muscle will ensure the pelvic floor and overlying skin contract, narrowing off this opening to the lower abdomen and move back to its original position, at the outlet of the pelvis. In the human, the horizontal 'pelvic floor muscles' adopts a vertical position, functioning as a trapdoor, to allow the foetus to exit and the springs back to the horizontal position, to function as the floor of the lower abdomen and also narrows off the opening of the lower abdomen, as the muscle contracts to its original length.

Hello,
I created a user name and, I thought, page, on Wikipedia in approximately 2016; it was dormant for a while, but I've since done enough editing to qualify to create an entry. I'm creating my draft in my sandbox, which is where I thought it was supposed to go while still in drafting phase, but I've encountered notices that claim Wikipedia does not have a user page with my name. When I signed on, I opted not to fill in any details till I knew my way around. I also thought I began my wiki article on a subpage in my sandbox, using the visual editor. How could I get to a sandbox without having a user page, much less a subpage? I'm now getting a rather glaring notice in a pink box that informs me "Please do not draft new articles here — to do that, create a userspace draft." Underneath it is the earlier notice that says Wikipedia does not have a user page with this exact title. But the top of my page says "User:TexasEditor1." That's me!
I'm trying very hard to be respectful and learn — and follow — the rules. I've already put so much work into verifying and adding links and references and making sure my writing is factual and neutral. What do I need to do to make sure I'm creating it where and how I'm supposed to be? I'm afraid I'll lose what I have if I create a user page and it tries to tell me that user already exists.

Of course, as expected, it got deleted just today. I swear someone here is trolling me.

Hello, I was looking at the Abortion in Kentucky article, which is in need of copyediting, and on the talk page Talk:Abortion in Kentucky I noticed the Wikipedia:WikiProject Abortion banner at the top says "(defunct)". This struck me as very odd, given that abortion is a very active topic at the center of many ongoing political events in the United States currently (July 2022) and I would expect this WikiProject to be very active.
When I checked the
Wikipedia:WikiProject Abortion page, it had |status=active
at the top of the page, indicating this is an active wikiproject:
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Abortion&oldid=1075906419
However, when the wikiproject template {{ WikiProject Abortion}} is transcluded on other pages, the WikiProject is listed as (defuct), see for example https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Template:WikiProject_Abortion&oldid=1013810835
Can someone please explain why the template {{ WikiProject Abortion}} lists the WikiProject as defunct, while the WikiProject page Wikipedia:WikiProject Abortion itself is tagged as active?
Thanks.

Hello. I am a Japanese and have been trying to edit articles on Wikipedia regarding Japanese topics that have serious issues due to lack of editors with knowledge on the topics: Many such articles have been allowed to present false and at times outlandishly ridiculous information at times. Fixing these requires some drastic measures due to how bad the articles are ( WP:BOLD). However, another user has been following me around to multiple articles and questioning my edits, disrupting my efforts at every step. This has happened multiple times. I brought this up before and their excuse was that they were watching the pages I'm editing to begin with, but in the latest instance doujinshi convention almost nobody had been editing the article, and that user only started to appear after I started work on it. Furthermore, I stopped editing it after I got sick of having to deal with them, and they immediately stopped editing it too, giving me the impression that their sole purpose on that article was to interfere with my edits. This user has also gone around accusing me of being a sockpuppet and claiming that I'm pushing original research (for making factual statements which are easily verified, or questioning ridiculous statements which are obviously false). My edits to remove false and at times plainly nonsensical statements was met with them insisting that statements with sources cannot be removed, my edits to add the most basic of information were met with reverts and accusations of using original research. Even if I was unable to add a source at the time for this basic information, would it not be better to leave the statement and just add a citation needed tag so that someone else might be able to add a source in the future? I want to add that the sort of edits they have done to the articles I tried to work on seem to show that they have no experience or knowledge regarding the topics at all, so I really don't see any reason why such a person should keep trying to disrupt my efforts. It would be one thing if someone with knowledge is arguing a different point of view, but that is not the case here. The only justification they offer is "that's how it's done on Wikipedia" and insisting that if a statement has a source then it cannot be removed, no matter how obviously ridiculous the statement.

Anyway, I was categorizing articles when I came across this Arrowsnake. I'm not certain if Wikipedia is the right place for such a topic. It seems to be more fitting for a dictionary, and I don't think it's notable enough, but I might be wrong, so I'm here asking.

Hello, for non-mainspace wiki pages (pages within the internal workings of Wikipedia, such as essays, user pages, policy pages, project pages, and a long etcetera) is there an information page or policy page that provides an overview of Wikipedia's approach to preservation and deletion/cleanup of those old pages? I have come accross bits and pieces in different places. For example, the existence of the Template:Historical. Or, the Template:Deceased Wikipedian and related Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians/Guidelines. I have found lots of "breadcrumbs" of information about it, but never an overarching explanatory/policy article. Is there one? I am not a newbie but there is still so much I don't know and I am wondering if someone here can shed some light on this question. Also, if this is a question better addressed in a different forum, I'd welcome you pointing me in the right direction. Thank you. Al83tito ( talk) 19:03, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
Hi friends,
New and learning here. I came across this log showing “edit filters” that seemed to be tripped by edits I made. Can you help me understand what I may have done incorrectly in these two cases so that I can hopefully fix any issues and avoid in the future? I have made good-faith efforts to edit a variety of pages in my first couple of days on here, and don’t wish to do any damage to the work so many have already done.
Your guidance is sincerely appreciated!

The Technoblade page states that he had adhd, and previously the only sources stating that were two tweets from the subject before his death and an article that mentions his adhd in passing. An edit purged most of the primary sources, leaving a super indirect secondary source about twitter drama, which seems to be more about angry mobs either attacking or defending Technoblade over a deleted tweet he made years prior to the drama.
Pinknews is considered a reliable source and was the only reliable secondary source found talking about Technoblade's adhd, which is fair, and the article is remarkably unbiased, but I feel like an article about angry mobs talking about the subject instead of the actual subject is super awkward. I tried replacing it with other sources that unfortunately also only mentioned his adhd in passing but were actually about Technoblade instead of angry twitter people, which were removed for being unreliable.
I'm now considering if reinstating the twitter sources would be reliable since they come from the subject himself, according to
WP:V, Self-published and questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, usually in articles about themselves
. However, I'm also wondering if because of the lack of any meaningful secondary coverage, it would be better to simply remove the mention of his adhd, or if it should be kept since it was one of the few personal details Technoblade revealed before his death. I know this may come across as forum shopping, but I would like to know how to deal with this type of situation for future reference on other pages.

The gray box that shows up when I open the draft I'm working on contains some advisory bullet points, but I can't tell if they're specifically about perceived issues with my draft or if they're general notes for every draft. When I click on "edit," the box expands with more notes of advice, but only one notice keeps popping up, about finding sources. I don't yet have library access, but if anything, I've already over-sourced some of this, and I'm not done referencing.
So I'm curious about how to address the following issues if they are showing up specifically for me, because I don't think I've violated any of these rules.
I might have a potential issue with copy-paste, but the situation is that I copied a page into a Word document to follow the layout and style almost three years ago when I knew far less and couldn't even figure out where to find a template. I wiped all the original information and wrote a completely different entry, and when I finally decided to try turning it into an actual draft, I lifted my copy and pasted it into the draft page (using visual editor). I also pasted in a couple of large tables that were built from the ones I copied, but have none of the original info. I'm afraid that might read as a copy-paste of material from sources, but that wasn't my intention at all. There is no duplicated info; I just used the structure. If that's an issue, how do I fix it without having to rebuild my entire page — because I'd rather leap off a bridge at this point. I haven't even added the photo and infobox. I figured I'll cross (or leap off) that bridge after I get all the other ducks in a row, including cleaning up my footnotes, etc. I'm hammering away at this thing, still trimming and refining to meet what seems like an ever-moving goalpost of rules and guidelines. I know I'm getting there, but I've been staring at those bullet points and thinking, "I get the message, and I'm not guilty!" I've got a journalism degree and decades of experience as a writer and editor. The last thing I would ever dream of doing is plagiarizing, and I'm very careful about attribution. I also know the difference between a neutral point of view and a slanted one (and I can spot promotional, self-serving or editorialized copy a mile away). So am I just being paranoid or what?

Been having a bit of trouble with image alignment. Let's say I've got a whole chunk of text above followed by a smaller section. I'd like to have my image push up into the larger chunk since it's kinda free space (whereas having it protrude downward would just mess up the organization). I had thought it was vertical alignment but that's just for in line images. I attached a few crude images of what I'm trying to accomplish.
In those images, the first one is what my wikitext looks like now. You can see that the image is associated with the second section/heading. But it protrudes down too much.
The second image is what I'd like it to do. The space above is fine to push the image up into. But the problem is, it'd basically mean anchoring the image wayyyyy above section 2. So if the page ever does fill out with more text, the image could move pretty far and won't be "anchored" to section 2 anymore (naively optimistic but leave me alone). Plus, if anyone currently wanted to edit the picture and is editing in source mode, they'd wonder where the heck the image is because it's 5 or 6 lines above the start of section 2.
So is there any way to keep the image anchored to section 2 but push upward instead of downward? I know that pushing upward would be cutting into the previous "section" but with subheadings it's not as obvious or jarring when that happens, compared to when you break down through a full heading's lower edge. I know that using {{-}} is an option but I don't want there to be tons of dead space below section 2 when there's usable space above it. Can anyone give me some pointers?

Hi all,
I'm an intern at GWI (I believe I properly disclosed this on my user page), a target audience company, and I would like to update some of the company's information on its wiki page because much is outdated. Recently, I updated the logo and some key outdated facts about the company on its wikipedia page (e.g., removing "key people" that haven't worked at the company for years). I am still trying to change the title of the article about GWI, though, because the wiki article is still entitled "GlobalWebIndex". This name is old as of 2018, and the company now refers to itself as GWI, wishing to distance itself from the old name for which GWI is an acronym. "GlobalWebIndex" is a misleading/inaccurate title for the article--all of its users/clients as well as the public know the company as GWI, and if you look at its website, you will not be able to find "GlobalWebIndex". If it were not for the current wikipedia page as it stands, there would be no concern for brand inconsistency. This is all to explain why I decided to make an effort to update the page.
Does anyone have any advice for moving this page or resolving this issue? Unfortunately, "GWI" already exists as a redirection page. However, "GlobalWebIndex," like I said, is 4 years out-of-date, and is confusing for anyone wishing to learn about the company. Is there any way to move "GWI" to "GWI (redirection page)" and move "GlobalWebIndex" to "GWI", perhaps?
Thanks for your time--any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Best,

Hello, I am new to the Wikipedia community and looking for feedback if I would qualify (based on notoriety) for a personal Wikipedia page. I have growing visibility in my scientific field and I’m a public face in Hawaii and in national media for public health and political advocacy. I have recently been honored with some prestigious recognitions (things like 40 Under 40 lists, State Legislative honors, and a large public award coming soon). My concern is that I share the same name of another individual who is also growing in notoriety but for opposite political views and there have been some mistaken associations. Would my profile be appropriate for a Wiki page?

He is known for his work in responding to disease outbreaks and other health emergencies, notably pandemics.

I've assumed most bands "fans" are the ones that create and work on their wiki pages, so I'm confused by the sudden "flagging" of this wiki page when nothing out of wiki guidlines/rules is going on. From what I've also seen on wiki, most contributors are working on pages that they're fans of in regards to people, places, organizations etc. I feel I've been wrongly accused of not working within wiki guidlines/rules especially since wiki is based on "good faith." Theres no proof of doing anything wrong and I'd appreciate some help/backup from the wiki pros.

Has the policy on creating new pages changed (specifically redirection pages, but probably the same applies to others)? In the past, if I wanted to create a new page the system would allow it without formality, most recently (20th June) a redirection from Harden-Young ester to Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate went without problems. Now I need to redirect from enterobactin synthase to 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate—serine ligase. As the IUBMB recommended name is enterobactin synthase that's what people can be expected to search for, but they won't find it unless they try 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate—serine ligase instead. However, when I tried to create a page it said "The page "Enterobactin synthase" does not exist. You can create a draft and submit it for review, but consider checking the search results below to see whether the topic is already covered". OK, but is it really necessary to go through a review? How long will it take? Has the policy changed in the past three weeks? Athel cb ( talk) 17:49, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Naar Ka Sur has already received so much of love and appreciation from the audience that they are showing their excitement about the trailer and the song." If a published source, wholly unconnected with the film's production and promotion, has said this, then it could appear in an article, appropriately quoted and cited. Otherwise, such language does not belong in any Wikipedia article.
Hi
Yesterday I tried to get the article Cryptography newsgroups speedy deleted under the lack of notability web criteria. This was removed because the article was too old. Now I still think this article should be deleted, but I don't really know how to proceed; is it better to be on the safe side and do AfD? Or is it so uncontroversial that PROD would be fine?
I feel like its hard to know if the deletion of an article is uncontroversial without initiating deletion. Stowgull ( talk) 09:11, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
please use WP:PROD or WP:AFD for an article that is 18 years old(when Wikipedia rules were a lot less strict). It is usually preferable to try to find sources than simply delete such an article. Shantavira| feed me 10:40, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
hello, I would like to know if there is another place for editors to hold a debate or to reach a consensus other than the articles talk page. My reason for asking is... Someone edited Millie bobby brown page and added that she is a model, after a while another editor removed it. So I opened a talk on her page for editors to debate and come to a consensus if she is a model. The level of ignorance I saw was overwhelming because non of the editors understand wikipedia policy of reliable sources because I showed several links that verified that millie bobby brown is a model and that she is signed to a well known modeling agency img models, she has modeled for brands like Louis Vuitton,vogue and other brands she is listed on model.com website as among models. With all this I mentioned and showed sources verifying it editors are still in doubt that she is a model whereas she is listed as a producer when it is only one movie she has produced in her acting career. So I would like to know if there is any place in Wikipedia I can report or bring up a debate aside from a pages talk page because editors are no longer responding and participating. Or is there any help desk or admin/admins that I can refer the matter to so that they can look into it. cheers. Uricdivine ( talk) 09:15, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Because a lot of information is there and I tried reading but I got lost after 5 paragraphs. @ Maproom your correct I failed to convince them because neither of them wanted to be convinced. And yes am looking for a forum. Why am so keen-on this topic is because I can't understand why information that is sourced and verifiable isnt changing there mind for me I think is a personal vandeata or issues the have with her maybe the don't think an 18yrs old should have so many titles.... Am so keen on this topic because my links covers both Wikipedia reliable source policy and notability policy but the seem to show a blind eye also like I said she has produced only 1 movie which is enola Holmes but she is listed as a producer whereas her modeling career is ignored without reason.

articles? Do you mean Wikipedia articles? If it's already being used in Wikipedia articles, then there's no reason to upload it again. How did other people obtain your work? Did you grant them permission to use it? Did you post it somewhere online first and they got it from there? They had to have gotten it somehow and what you're going to likely need to do to establish it's your own work is to somehow prove that they got the work from you in someway. One way of doing this would be to establish that you did publish the picture somewhere before anyone else started using it. Another way might be provide some evidence in which these other people state they got the picture from you.

Hello!
I've been having an issue with the Testex article. First, full disclosure: I'm an employee of Testex and work on the article on their behalf (I have also disclosed the paid editing on my user page). I want to create a proper article - not some marketing text - and thus put a lot of work and effort into composing a well-sourced text based on reliable secondary literature. This is my text. I've already made the changes to the existing article, but an editor reverted it and told me that I should make suggestions on the talk page instead of making large-scale additions to the article itself. There seems to be no Wikipedia policy that supports that, so what shall I do? I have proposed my edit on the talk page but no one has reacted, and I frankly don't know what's wrong my text addition. I'd really appreciate any help, feedback, or criticism, because I wish to improve the text in case that it contains errors or doesn't comply with Wikipedia's policies.

How to convert Wikipedia English references to e.g. Portuguese language? Regards, Wname1 ( talk) 10:13, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
In the article London's last tram week, there are citations to references from The Times newspaper, among others. I obtained these references from non-digital copies of the newspaper in my local public library. I later found that the newspapers in question are available in digital form in the GALE on-line database. So I tried to add the relevant GALE IDs to the citations, using the example in the Template:Gale documentation as a model.
Here is how one of the citations now appears:
I have two questions. (1) Is this a reasonable thing to do - given that not everyone will have access to GALE (it needs either a paid subscription or access via a library or institution; I accessed it via the Wikipedia Library)? (2) Does the format look right to you? I couldn't find any examples in other articles to compare it to.

Can someone please help me make a normal paragraph break in the text bellow (the current spacing seems about 1.5 times wider than a normal paragraph break).
At the head of the procession is a youth of some sixteen or seventeen years bearing the standard with the symbols of the sun and other heavenly bodies. His figure is a beautiful presentment of budding manhood, and is perfect in its contour. The skin is dark, but glows with the vigour of young life. The features and the head betoken intelligence and earnestness. The whole pose has a distinction and a virility quite ennobling; he is indeed a puer viriliter, such as was the model of Polykleitos's "Diadumenos." He is nude save only for a loose embroidered drapery of reddish purple, which drooping over his shoulder envelops his loins. His dark hair is crowned with laurels and he wears light sandals.
Behind him marches the majestic figure of the Daphnephoros or Laurel-bearer, towering above his fellow-processionists, as a fit type of the priest of the God of the Sun. He is youthful, and his fine figure, displaying almost heroic limbs beneath his vesture, is surmounted by a splendid head, full of the mental force of manhood and of the fire of devotion. His hair is black, but his skin is lighter than that of his young herald in front. He wears a golden diadem of many points and a heavy crown of laurel. In one hand he carries the consecrated branch of laurel, and with the other he gathers up into rich folds the trailing length of his creamy-white, gold-embroidered vestment. His feet are sandalled also and are, as are all the feet in the procession, exact examples of perfect form.

Hello!
I'm interning with a well-established company and planning to write a very neutral, unbiased wikipedia article about them so that there's more readily available information about them online. The article is not intended to be promotional, but simply the nuts and bolts of their origins as a company, their most notable accomplishments, etc. Is it okay for me to write this page at all? They're a very notable company in their field, which makes me feel that wikipedia would have something to gain from a well-written article about them too.
Other questions:
Would I be able to include information that lacks a source external to the company itself? Or, does that sort of information need to be published elsewhere before it's usable?

Hi again. I was categorizing articles when I came across Bayinnaung's Bell Inscription. It has some grammatical errors and a sentence that doesn't conform with Wikipedia's neutrality. Example: 'But the copied of the texts and the translations were so much mistaken.'
I know I could do it by myself, but I'm a bit too nervous to attempt that. So the reason I'm here is to ask how to put up that little text at the top that notifies anyone who views the article about the errors and the lack of neutrality, and that they could help by editing it.

Hi! I've recently started working a bit on categories for members of academies and learned societies.

This makes sense I think, but today I came across an academy that only has a category "<name of academy>" where both the main page and members are listed.

Someone has been following me around saying that a man should always be listed before a woman. I'm confused by this. It's clear that either the man or woman can get listed first, since there are many articles that have either one first. The page I edited previously did not mention the parents. I added a new sentence to include the parents' names. It read:
"She was the daughter of Klara, née Kammer, and Theodor Gotzmann, a director of the Reichsbank."
The person who has been following my edits changed it to:
"She was the daughter of Theodor Gotzmann, a director of the Reichsbank, and his wife Klara, née Kammer."
Not only does it sound worse and flows awkwardly now, it's splitting up their names. Klara and Theodor Gotzmann reads easier than Theodor Gotzmann and Klara. Putting his profession at the end is easier to read as well. However, someone changed my edit simply because he believes the man should be first. I'm confused by this and I think this is destructive. It's a useless edit for personal reasons, and it distrupts the flow. Is this harmful editing? It's scary because he is threatening to block my account when literally all I did was add "Maria and Thomas Holl" to an article. He is threatening to block me from editing because it's apparently important that I say "Thomas Holl and Maria" instead. I didn't even notice. I have put the father's name first in my edits when I thought it made more sense. I don't know what to do. I need to make sure putting the father first is not a wikipedia rule that I'm breaking, because that is what the person is telling me and saying he will block me for.

I'm a new editor, but a long-time reader. What prompted me to write this was a Wikimedia banner asking to report to Wikimedia (UK chapter I think) examples of blatant underrepresentation of women in the articles. The banner seemed absurd: of course women (and many other groups) would be underrepresented as long as new editors that try to do edits different from spelling corrections are harassed when they write anything that doesn't fit average editor's worldview, no matter how neutral with regards to the sources the edit is.
As I've started editing, I've encountered two very strange practices and, although I couldn't find them in the list of perennial policy proposals, decided to ask here why they still exist. These practices seem very counter-productive, and seem like something that would've been discussed many times previously.
BRD is a well-kept secret. This would sound strange to any experienced editor, but as a new editor, you won't learn about BRD easily. Sure, you might stumble to the policy accidentally, but more likely than not you wouldn't know about it - and its essential to productive contributing to today's Wikipedia. After I registered, someone added a welcome message to the talk page with two dozens of links to various policies and essays. Even if I were to read all of them - I don't think BRD is amongst them.
Why isn't BRD policy made prominent to new editors on sign-up? Why is there no notification for new editors saying something like "your edit just was removed by other editor - if you think it should be in the article - please create new section on the article's talk page"?
I've tried editing Wikipedia a while ago and was discouraged by immediate removal of my first edit. I only was able to figure it now only because of a conversation with someone from Wikimedia who explained how policies work. I'm sure some of contributors who are seen disruptive may not really understand how BRD works - and there are definitely a lot of people who tried to edit in good faith and were discouraged after a near-immediate revert. I know a few personally.
Harassment under the guise of BRD. There are editors who write little, but would do a lot of reverts with comments like WP:OR, WP:SYNTH, WP:UNDUE, WP:WEIGHT, or something like 'sourced'/'per consensus' if they're reverting a removal. Obviously, any of such comments sounds like a fair concern, and I'm sure most of such editors are acting in a good faith. However, there is an issue with the practice.
'Discuss' means to initiate a conflict with another editor on a public forum and many simply aren't comfortable with this. Many would prefer to let it slip. (A funny example I was able to correct was a statement along the lines of " John Maynard Keynes blamed Russian and Jewish natures for mass murders in the USSR" added to WP a decade ago. Of course Keynes didn't write this, besides being married to a Russian, but the statement remained in two articles for a decade because removal of the statement was promptly reverted as 'this is sourced', sounded so plausible, and no editors felt bold enough to challenge the addition in talk for a decade.) But I guess that's the nature of BRD, which is massively valuable for Wikipedia.
Where it becomes problematic is there are editors who abuse reluctance of others to discuss. They would do reverts but won't reply when asked to explain their position on the talk page. My impression is that such reverts are usually done in a good faith, but (judging by their frequency) often without evaluating the referenced source - just because the edit doesn't fit the editor's world view. Some of such editors aren't shy to claim such motivation directly in talk or an edit comment. Whereas editor who adds content needs time to write it and to challenge deletion on talk page, deleting editor doesn't have to spend any time thinking of the revert: worst thing that could happen is being challenged on the talk page, which could then be ignored without consequences. I think its obvious how this harms editors from underrepresented groups, and why they describe this as harassment.
What I don't understand is why, for example, an editor could be blocked for adding spam systematically, but doing a few deletions with meaninglessly short comments and refusing to substantiate them on the talk page would result in a warning at best? Surely both are equally destructive? PaulT2022 ( talk) 23:57, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I am currently working on a draft for an article covering a media franchise for which the two major entries ( Team Fortress Classic and Team Fortress 2) already have very well established articles, and as a result a majority of my draft will likely end up consisting of copying and rephrasing large blocks of text from these preexisting articles. I've read through WP:COPYWITHIN but it only seems to cover what to do when copying text into a preexisting article and to my understanding the creation of a page entails copying over the text from the sandbox in what is essentially a single edit, therefore severing it from the edit history of the sandbox that originated it. Does this mean I will have to attach a dummy edit listing the sources as soon as the draft is accepted or is there a more convenient way? Orchastrattor ( talk) 02:08, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
I feel like I'm going crazy, so many source keep saying that Belka & Strelka Soviet space dogs were the first to be recovered alive. But Korabl-Sputnik 2 was on 19 August 1960 (Belka and Strelka's mission) while Jupiter AM-18 (Able & Baker) was 28 May 1959. They all came back to earth alive. As one is monkeys and the other dogs, they are both higher organisms, right? Why does everywhere, including Wikipedia keep saying they the one in 1960 came first. The American source ( https://airandspace.si.edu/stories/editorial/blazing-trail-space) says they traveled some 480 km (300 miles) up which is into orbit, while what I've been able to read in English about Russia is saying ( https://www.drewexmachina.com/2020/08/19/korabl-sputnik-2-the-first-animals-recovered-from-orbit/) 306 by 339 kilometer orbit. Lover of Blue Roses ( talk) 20:38, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
[I'm new to Wikipedia, if this is the wrong place to post my question, please let me know.]
Edit: Okay it seems that Belka & Strelka were the first to reach *orbit* rather than sub-orbit. This is not a height above earth, hence my confusion as both pass the Kármán line, but a speed needed to complete one orbital revolution (and become an artificial satellite) or reach escape velocity. It seems very strange to me that one should be considered the first animal in space to be safely returned and not the other as both were in space. Would editing to mention that one was the first in space, and the other the first in orbit, (and then recovered) make sense?
I believe that the first animals in space were fruit flies (if using the Karman line, [ source], [ source 2], [ source 3]) P.S. I'm pretty sure that your question is fine, as long as it sticks to the central topic of creating and maintaining an encyclopedia (WP:FORUM). I could be wrong, though.

I edited the biography of a living person, David Paulides. When I clicked to publish my changes, something happened and my edit tab disappeared. The editors who were working on the article were listening to a man @ Abe Cunningham who was very insistant that the subject of the biography have an arrest for a misdemeanor included in the article. This arrest happened over 25 years ago, and seemed so trivial to me, more of a misunderstanding. The subject is a sixty six year old author. I said that it doesn't improve the article to put that embarrassing arrest detail into the article, that it harms our subject who has said that he has lost income because his wikipedia page was so incorrect and negative (even the description on this link is wrong. He's known worldwide for his Missing411 investigation of missing persons, not Bigfoot.) I did my best to advocate for the subject's privacy, removed the arrest information, pointed out that even the statue of limitations for a misdemeanor in California is only a year, and looked into the very old sources being used. Abe Cunningham, who was extremely keen to get the arrest into the article, had even sent away to get the income, pension, and details of David Paulides career as a police officer. It seems so suspicious to me, like this person had a personal grudge against David Paulides I believe that I was right in erring on the side of removing the damaging arrest information. I don't think it was right for me to lose editing priveleges for that. Please pardon me for being so wordy here, and thank you so much for your help. Can I get my edit button back? I'm marikotambini

Insistantly twisting together two, years-apart careers is incorrect and misleading. These are not the only reasons why the article is incorrect. The person who wrote the bulk of this page and had enough pull to get it protected status is the real vandal. Due to false information wikipedia is costing this author income approximately once every two weeks or so from people who say they saw the wikipedia page and therefore don't want to do business with Mr. Paulides. I know that an encyclopedia is not for the benefit of the subject. However, I don't think wikipedia's purpose is to do the subject harm, either, which is what all the wrong information does, not a matter of anyones opinion, but incorrect, misleading information. Does removing the word "conspiracy" sound like an opinion? No. At the very most essential level of the work is the persistant statement by David Paulides that he has no theory about why people are going missing. Even when pressed hard, four times in a row in his interview with Art Bell of Coast to Coast AM, he stated definitively that he doesn't know why and doesn't have a theory. I referenced this above. The above reasons are why not being allowed to edit this page against consensus makes me wonder who this consensus is. All of wikipedia's road blocks to correcting this article mean nothing. The article is faulty and incorrect in every possible way. Debunkers should not use a biography as a platform to discredit every bit of an author or scientist's work. I'll disclaim that I don't know David Paulides, am not acquainted with any of his friends or family, and live five states away from where he lives. I don't know him at all. I've communicated with him by email once. I don't have any personal stake here. If you intention in asking me the question from above was not to open this door, please pardon me. Following all the requirements of those before me has gotten them nowhere. Marikotambini ( talk) 00:27, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

Now that I'm getting into adding citations on several Wiki articles I'm editing, I'm wondering if Wikipedia offers any self-paced online tutorials available on this sort of thing.

While this is a convenient feature for users, some may click or tap the buttons simply because the buttons are there, or perhaps they think they have to select one (i.e., they believe the edit will not be saved unless they enter a summary, which is not true). Consequently, one may see a substantial edit with the summary "Fixed typo" or other misleading summary.Hope that helps. Bsoyka ( talk) 18:12, 9 July 2022 (UTC)

In the Film noir article, fifth paragraph of the Problems of definition section, look at the sentence "Alain Silver, the most widely published American critic...." You can see that "published" and "American" abut. I went to Edit source and added a space but nothing changed in the article. I added several more spaces in the edit screen, and same deal. You can see the extra spaces there. And it just wasn't when I hit Show preview, I put the edit through. I didn't have any trouble making other edits to the article. Any solution?

An IP editor has replaced mentions of 'pro life' in Direct lobbying in the United States, Claudio Grech, and Cape Town Pride with 'anti-abortion'. The edit summary for the edits are just the words 'Wikipedia requires NPOV' or 'neutral POV'. I reverted the edit on Cape Town Pride but I want to ask: Is the phrase 'pro life' actually an NPOV violation or is the IP editor wrong?

If a user creates another Wikipedia account through the clean start technique and it is recognized as a legitimate account. How do he re-request extended confirmed permission if he can't say he already had an account with extended confirmed permission.

I've made some major edits on several articles for which I didn't check the Watch This Page box when I published them but now I wish I had. The reason I didn't at the time was because I had previously checked Watch This Page for the articles and thought that would trigger alerts for all future edits if other editors came along later and changed them.

Fellow Wikipedians, greetings! I've a query regarding my article(s) for submission. Roughly two weeks ago, I submitted a draft titled JetSetGo, and about 3 weeks ago, I submitted another draft about a significant suspension bridge in India. Unfortunately, to my disappointment, they haven't been reviewed yet. Now don't get me wrong: I'm not impatient reckless—I'm aware they can take upto 4 months to get reviewed, and therefore 2-3 weeks is a relatively short time. However, as far as my observation is concerned, most draft articles get reviewed within the first few days of submission itself. Rarely do they take any longer than that, except of course in certain cases. Well at least in my case, all the drafts I submitted prior to the aforementioned ones were reviewed rather soon. So, frankly, that is my question: have the reviewing patterns changed lately, have my drafts got some issue(s), is this all just purely an outcome of chance, or am I just being absurd and impatient? Or something else? I'd be glad to know. Also, I there are some issues with my draft, for instance missing Wikiprojects or else, please do assist me/help me out. Thanks!

Hi there! I submitted my first two articles submission to Wikipedia. Both were reviewed and not accepted. My focus is Wikipedia pages for social media (niche). For one of them, Jessy Taylor, I cited news coverage from multiple mainstream newspapers published worldwide. However, since I'm new, I understand I didn't go to the depth and didn't include everyone. I most likely did not do it correctly. Before any resubmission, I need to understand how many additional references are required to meet the notability standard for Jessy Taylor. I strongly feel that the Taylor Wikipedia page has a higher chance of getting approved than the Mary Magdelene since there wasn't much, to begin with, for Mary.
Regarding Mary Magdelene's draft, not sure what else I could add; everything that was available was on the DRAFT. Mary meets no notability standards and is a lot harder to write about. I did find a yahoo article about Jessyt that I'm wondering if I can use. All the people I'm writing about have a solid social media presence. Furthermore, I am now starting a wiki draft about Playmate Tessi. If anyone can help me with the Jessy or Playmate Tessi draft I'm starting, I would appreciate that. I have been a writer for four years. However, Wikipedia is much different than anything I had done. I'm a second-year college student, but I started school late due to other responblites, and now I have time to follow my passion. I love learning and expanding my writing knowledge.

Hello, is there a way to take an existing German wiki article and create an English wiki entry?
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_Keane Already exists. I would like to create the same entry in en.Wikipedia. I couldn’t figure out a way so I began creating a new article in English for Hannah Keane. It was rejected by Star Mississippi saying the subject does not qualify for wiki entry. I only published a simple beginning entry to get it started. I would prefer to not have to make a completely new entry in English. I know I can translate the German article but that does not help if someone is searching for Hannah Keane in English. Thanks for your help. Dhkeane ( talk) 00:55, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

I've asked about this before and ended up going around in a circle having been told that the references in this article are fine and that Wikipedia is the starting point for projects and no more. After giving this some consideration I have decided to give it one more try with the reasoning that if the starting point is misleading it becomes a dead end. My concern is that the first two references given, to Pevsner and Historic England, both date the earliest part of this church to about the early 13th century, no problem with that so do I. The article then claims a date of 1080 for the construction of the chancel thus contradicting the first two references. It is also claimed that the chancel is Early English in style, agreed, but this style is commonly agreed to date from the late 12th to late 13th centuries, including by the Wikipedia article on it. There are also concerns with other sources making unsubstantiated claims but that is not Wikipedia's problem.
What I would like to know is how I can insert a box warning of misleading references similar to those I have seen on other articles where better, or more, referencing is needed. Historydebunk ( talk) 15:48, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

Please add text to the image, The sleeve of pink tissue around the lamb's neck is: the stretched perineal skin and underlying pelvic floor muscle. Once the lamb exits the birth canal, the elastic muscle will ensure the pelvic floor and overlying skin contract, narrowing off this opening to the lower abdomen and move back to its original position, at the outlet of the pelvis. In the human, the horizontal 'pelvic floor muscles' adopts a vertical position, functioning as a trapdoor, to allow the foetus to exit and the springs back to the horizontal position, to function as the floor of the lower abdomen and also narrows off the opening of the lower abdomen, as the muscle contracts to its original length.

Hello,
I created a user name and, I thought, page, on Wikipedia in approximately 2016; it was dormant for a while, but I've since done enough editing to qualify to create an entry. I'm creating my draft in my sandbox, which is where I thought it was supposed to go while still in drafting phase, but I've encountered notices that claim Wikipedia does not have a user page with my name. When I signed on, I opted not to fill in any details till I knew my way around. I also thought I began my wiki article on a subpage in my sandbox, using the visual editor. How could I get to a sandbox without having a user page, much less a subpage? I'm now getting a rather glaring notice in a pink box that informs me "Please do not draft new articles here — to do that, create a userspace draft." Underneath it is the earlier notice that says Wikipedia does not have a user page with this exact title. But the top of my page says "User:TexasEditor1." That's me!
I'm trying very hard to be respectful and learn — and follow — the rules. I've already put so much work into verifying and adding links and references and making sure my writing is factual and neutral. What do I need to do to make sure I'm creating it where and how I'm supposed to be? I'm afraid I'll lose what I have if I create a user page and it tries to tell me that user already exists.

Hello, I was looking at the Abortion in Kentucky article, which is in need of copyediting, and on the talk page Talk:Abortion in Kentucky I noticed the Wikipedia:WikiProject Abortion banner at the top says "(defunct)". This struck me as very odd, given that abortion is a very active topic at the center of many ongoing political events in the United States currently (July 2022) and I would expect this WikiProject to be very active.
When I checked the
Wikipedia:WikiProject Abortion page, it had |status=active
at the top of the page, indicating this is an active wikiproject:
https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Abortion&oldid=1075906419
However, when the wikiproject template {{ WikiProject Abortion}} is transcluded on other pages, the WikiProject is listed as (defuct), see for example https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Template:WikiProject_Abortion&oldid=1013810835
Can someone please explain why the template {{ WikiProject Abortion}} lists the WikiProject as defunct, while the WikiProject page Wikipedia:WikiProject Abortion itself is tagged as active?
Thanks.

Hello. I am a Japanese and have been trying to edit articles on Wikipedia regarding Japanese topics that have serious issues due to lack of editors with knowledge on the topics: Many such articles have been allowed to present false and at times outlandishly ridiculous information at times. Fixing these requires some drastic measures due to how bad the articles are ( WP:BOLD). However, another user has been following me around to multiple articles and questioning my edits, disrupting my efforts at every step. This has happened multiple times. I brought this up before and their excuse was that they were watching the pages I'm editing to begin with, but in the latest instance doujinshi convention almost nobody had been editing the article, and that user only started to appear after I started work on it. Furthermore, I stopped editing it after I got sick of having to deal with them, and they immediately stopped editing it too, giving me the impression that their sole purpose on that article was to interfere with my edits. This user has also gone around accusing me of being a sockpuppet and claiming that I'm pushing original research (for making factual statements which are easily verified, or questioning ridiculous statements which are obviously false). My edits to remove false and at times plainly nonsensical statements was met with them insisting that statements with sources cannot be removed, my edits to add the most basic of information were met with reverts and accusations of using original research. Even if I was unable to add a source at the time for this basic information, would it not be better to leave the statement and just add a citation needed tag so that someone else might be able to add a source in the future? I want to add that the sort of edits they have done to the articles I tried to work on seem to show that they have no experience or knowledge regarding the topics at all, so I really don't see any reason why such a person should keep trying to disrupt my efforts. It would be one thing if someone with knowledge is arguing a different point of view, but that is not the case here. The only justification they offer is "that's how it's done on Wikipedia" and insisting that if a statement has a source then it cannot be removed, no matter how obviously ridiculous the statement. Is this not WP:HOUND, if not outright harassment? 2404:2D00:5000:701:EC0C:C140:2DBA:4512 ( talk) 07:49, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

The Technoblade page states that he had adhd, and previously the only sources stating that were two tweets from the subject before his death and an article that mentions his adhd in passing. An edit purged most of the primary sources, leaving a super indirect secondary source about twitter drama, which seems to be more about angry mobs either attacking or defending Technoblade over a deleted tweet he made years prior to the drama.
Pinknews is considered a reliable source and was the only reliable secondary source found talking about Technoblade's adhd, which is fair, and the article is remarkably unbiased, but I feel like an article about angry mobs talking about the subject instead of the actual subject is super awkward. I tried replacing it with other sources that unfortunately also only mentioned his adhd in passing but were actually about Technoblade instead of angry twitter people, which were removed for being unreliable.
I'm now considering if reinstating the twitter sources would be reliable since they come from the subject himself, according to
WP:V, Self-published and questionable sources may be used as sources of information about themselves, usually in articles about themselves
. However, I'm also wondering if because of the lack of any meaningful secondary coverage, it would be better to simply remove the mention of his adhd, or if it should be kept since it was one of the few personal details Technoblade revealed before his death. I know this may come across as forum shopping, but I would like to know how to deal with this type of situation for future reference on other pages.

The gray box that shows up when I open the draft I'm working on contains some advisory bullet points, but I can't tell if they're specifically about perceived issues with my draft or if they're general notes for every draft. When I click on "edit," the box expands with more notes of advice, but only one notice keeps popping up, about finding sources. I don't yet have library access, but if anything, I've already over-sourced some of this, and I'm not done referencing.
So I'm curious about how to address the following issues if they are showing up specifically for me, because I don't think I've violated any of these rules.
I might have a potential issue with copy-paste, but the situation is that I copied a page into a Word document to follow the layout and style almost three years ago when I knew far less and couldn't even figure out where to find a template. I wiped all the original information and wrote a completely different entry, and when I finally decided to try turning it into an actual draft, I lifted my copy and pasted it into the draft page (using visual editor). I also pasted in a couple of large tables that were built from the ones I copied, but have none of the original info. I'm afraid that might read as a copy-paste of material from sources, but that wasn't my intention at all. There is no duplicated info; I just used the structure. If that's an issue, how do I fix it without having to rebuild my entire page — because I'd rather leap off a bridge at this point. I haven't even added the photo and infobox. I figured I'll cross (or leap off) that bridge after I get all the other ducks in a row, including cleaning up my footnotes, etc. I'm hammering away at this thing, still trimming and refining to meet what seems like an ever-moving goalpost of rules and guidelines. I know I'm getting there, but I've been staring at those bullet points and thinking, "I get the message, and I'm not guilty!" I've got a journalism degree and decades of experience as a writer and editor. The last thing I would ever dream of doing is plagiarizing, and I'm very careful about attribution. I also know the difference between a neutral point of view and a slanted one (and I can spot promotional, self-serving or editorialized copy a mile away). So am I just being paranoid or what?

Been having a bit of trouble with image alignment. Let's say I've got a whole chunk of text above followed by a smaller section. I'd like to have my image push up into the larger chunk since it's kinda free space (whereas having it protrude downward would just mess up the organization). I had thought it was vertical alignment but that's just for in line images. I attached a few crude images of what I'm trying to accomplish.
In those images, the first one is what my wikitext looks like now. You can see that the image is associated with the second section/heading. But it protrudes down too much.
The second image is what I'd like it to do. The space above is fine to push the image up into. But the problem is, it'd basically mean anchoring the image wayyyyy above section 2. So if the page ever does fill out with more text, the image could move pretty far and won't be "anchored" to section 2 anymore (naively optimistic but leave me alone). Plus, if anyone currently wanted to edit the picture and is editing in source mode, they'd wonder where the heck the image is because it's 5 or 6 lines above the start of section 2.
So is there any way to keep the image anchored to section 2 but push upward instead of downward? I know that pushing upward would be cutting into the previous "section" but with subheadings it's not as obvious or jarring when that happens, compared to when you break down through a full heading's lower edge. I know that using {{-}} is an option but I don't want there to be tons of dead space below section 2 when there's usable space above it. Can anyone give me some pointers?

Hi all,
I'm an intern at GWI (I believe I properly disclosed this on my user page), a target audience company, and I would like to update some of the company's information on its wiki page because much is outdated. Recently, I updated the logo and some key outdated facts about the company on its wikipedia page (e.g., removing "key people" that haven't worked at the company for years). I am still trying to change the title of the article about GWI, though, because the wiki article is still entitled "GlobalWebIndex". This name is old as of 2018, and the company now refers to itself as GWI, wishing to distance itself from the old name for which GWI is an acronym. "GlobalWebIndex" is a misleading/inaccurate title for the article--all of its users/clients as well as the public know the company as GWI, and if you look at its website, you will not be able to find "GlobalWebIndex". If it were not for the current wikipedia page as it stands, there would be no concern for brand inconsistency. This is all to explain why I decided to make an effort to update the page.
Does anyone have any advice for moving this page or resolving this issue? Unfortunately, "GWI" already exists as a redirection page. However, "GlobalWebIndex," like I said, is 4 years out-of-date, and is confusing for anyone wishing to learn about the company. Is there any way to move "GWI" to "GWI (redirection page)" and move "GlobalWebIndex" to "GWI", perhaps?
Thanks for your time--any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Best,

As I'm working on edits for a long article and want to be sure I have a copy of my work "just in case," I have a Microsoft word file into which I copy my edits as I go, section by section.

There seems to be a way within Word to update citation numbers, but it's not working for me — unless I'm doing it wrong.

Hello, I am new to the Wikipedia community and looking for feedback if I would qualify (based on notoriety) for a personal Wikipedia page. I have growing visibility in my scientific field and I’m a public face in Hawaii and in national media for public health and political advocacy. I have recently been honored with some prestigious recognitions (things like 40 Under 40 lists, State Legislative honors, and a large public award coming soon). My concern is that I share the same name of another individual who is also growing in notoriety but for opposite political views and there have been some mistaken associations. Would my profile be appropriate for a Wiki page?
“Jacob (Jake) Schafer is an American epidemiologist, humanitarian aid worker, science communicator, and public health activist. He is known for his work in responding to disease outbreaks and other health emergencies, notably pandemics. He is considered an emerging leader in the field of global health security and public health development.” Of course, I have several public secondary sources and magazine profiles on me to source.

How do I go about getting this off their page properly?? I've "cited" all sources on their wiki page. There is no biased view or revising history to my knowledge. I've assumed most bands "fans" are the ones that create and work on their wiki pages, so I'm confused by the sudden "flagging" of this wiki page when nothing out of wiki guidlines/rules is going on. From what I've also seen on wiki, most contributors are working on pages that they're fans of in regards to people, places, organizations etc. I feel I've been wrongly accused of not working within wiki guidlines/rules especially since wiki is based on "good faith." Theres no proof of doing anything wrong and I'd appreciate some help/backup from the wiki pros. All I'm trying to do in this case is update a bands page that I'm a fan of and to state again I've worked very hard to cite everything on this page properly.

Has the policy on creating new pages changed (specifically redirection pages, but probably the same applies to others)? In the past, if I wanted to create a new page the system would allow it without formality, most recently (20th June) a redirection from Harden-Young ester to Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate went without problems. Now I need to redirect from enterobactin synthase to 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate—serine ligase. As the IUBMB recommended name is enterobactin synthase that's what people can be expected to search for, but they won't find it unless they try 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate—serine ligase instead. However, when I tried to create a page it said "The page "Enterobactin synthase" does not exist. You can create a draft and submit it for review, but consider checking the search results below to see whether the topic is already covered". OK, but is it really necessary to go through a review?

hello, I would like to know if there is another place for editors to hold a debate or to reach a consensus other than the articles talk page. My reason for asking is... Someone edited Millie bobby brown page and added that she is a model, after a while another editor removed it. So I opened a talk on her page for editors to debate and come to a consensus if she is a model. The level of ignorance I saw was overwhelming because non of the editors understand wikipedia policy of reliable sources because I showed several links that verified that millie bobby brown is a model and that she is signed to a well known modeling agency img models, she has modeled for brands like Louis Vuitton,vogue and other brands she is listed on model.com website as among models. With all this I mentioned and showed sources verifying it editors are still in doubt that she is a model whereas she is listed as a producer when it is only one movie she has produced in her acting career. So I would like to know if there is any place in Wikipedia I can report or bring up a debate aside from a pages talk page because editors are no longer responding and participating. Or is there any help desk or admin/admins that I can refer the matter to so that they can look into it. cheers. Uricdivine ( talk) 09:15, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

They had to have gotten it somehow and what you're going to likely need to do to establish it's your own work is to somehow prove that they got the work from you in someway. One way of doing this would be to establish that you did publish the picture somewhere before anyone else started using it.

I want to create a proper article - not some marketing text - and thus put a lot of work and effort into composing a well-sourced text based on reliable secondary literature. This is my text.

In the article London's last tram week, there are citations to references from The Times newspaper, among others. I obtained these references from non-digital copies of the newspaper in my local public library. I later found that the newspapers in question are available in digital form in the GALE on-line database. So I tried to add the relevant GALE IDs to the citations, using the example in the Template:Gale documentation as a model.
Here is how one of the citations now appears:
I have two questions. (1) Is this a reasonable thing to do - given that not everyone will have access to GALE (it needs either a paid subscription or access via a library or institution; I accessed it via the Wikipedia Library)? (2) Does the format look right to you? I couldn't find any examples in other articles to compare it to.

Can someone please help me make a normal paragraph break in the text bellow (the current spacing seems about 1.5 times wider than a normal paragraph break).
At the head of the procession is a youth of some sixteen or seventeen years bearing the standard with the symbols of the sun and other heavenly bodies. His figure is a beautiful presentment of budding manhood, and is perfect in its contour. The skin is dark, but glows with the vigour of young life. The features and the head betoken intelligence and earnestness. The whole pose has a distinction and a virility quite ennobling; he is indeed a puer viriliter, such as was the model of Polykleitos's "Diadumenos." He is nude save only for a loose embroidered drapery of reddish purple, which drooping over his shoulder envelops his loins. His dark hair is crowned with laurels and he wears light sandals.
Behind him marches the majestic figure of the Daphnephoros or Laurel-bearer, towering above his fellow-processionists, as a fit type of the priest of the God of the Sun. He is youthful, and his fine figure, displaying almost heroic limbs beneath his vesture, is surmounted by a splendid head, full of the mental force of manhood and of the fire of devotion. His hair is black, but his skin is lighter than that of his young herald in front. He wears a golden diadem of many points and a heavy crown of laurel. In one hand he carries the consecrated branch of laurel, and with the other he gathers up into rich folds the trailing length of his creamy-white, gold-embroidered vestment. His feet are sandalled also and are, as are all the feet in the procession, exact examples of perfect form.

I'm interning with a well-established company and planning to write a very neutral, unbiased wikipedia article about them so that there's more readily available information about them online. The article is not intended to be promotional, but simply the nuts and bolts of their origins as a company, their most notable accomplishments, etc. Is it okay for me to write this page at all? They're a very notable company in their field, which makes me feel that wikipedia would have something to gain from a well-written article about them too.
Other questions:
Would I be able to include information that lacks a source external to the company itself? Or, does that sort of information need to be published elsewhere before it's usable?

Hi again. I was categorizing articles when I came across Bayinnaung's Bell Inscription. It has some grammatical errors and a sentence that doesn't conform with Wikipedia's neutrality. Example: 'But the copied of the texts and the translations were so much mistaken.'
I know I could do it by myself, but I'm a bit too nervous to attempt that. So the reason I'm here is to ask how to put up that little text at the top that notifies anyone who views the article about the errors and the lack of neutrality, and that they could help by editing it.

Also, I'm not exactly sure how to comment in these.

Hi! I've recently started working a bit on categories for members of academies and learned societies. Typically the category is called "Members of the <name of academy or society>" and this might be in the category "<name of academy or society>" together with other pages related to the academy/society. This makes sense I think, but today I came across an academy that only has a category "<name of academy>" where both the main page and members are listed. I would like to create a new category "Members of the <name of academy>" within the existing one and then move all the members to the new category. It's less than 20 people so it is not much work right now. Is this considered okay? SakurabaJun ( talk) 08:44, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

You have inserted a hyperlink for gigde.com into several articles and a Talk page, all of which have been reverted as spam. If you continue this forbidden practice, you will be indefintely blocked. You also created a very short draft Draft:Sumit about yourself, with no references. This was Declined. The only way there can be an article about you or the company is if people with no connection to you have published content about the company or you in reliable sources that can be used as references. Is such content does not exist, please stop, as all you are doing is wasting the time of volunteers draft reviewers. Lastly, you wrote "my company", but on the company website you are not named as part of the Team. Are you an employee? Special rules apply. See WP:PAID. David notMD (talk) 01:34, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Someone has been following me around saying that a man should always be listed before a woman. I'm confused by this. It's clear that either the man or woman can get listed first, since there are many articles that have either one first. The page I edited previously did not mention the parents. I added a new sentence to include the parents' names. It read:
"She was the daughter of Klara, née Kammer, and Theodor Gotzmann, a director of the Reichsbank."
The person who has been following my edits changed it to:
"She was the daughter of Theodor Gotzmann, a director of the Reichsbank, and his wife Klara, née Kammer."
Not only does it sound worse and flows awkwardly now, it's splitting up their names. Klara and Theodor Gotzmann reads easier than Theodor Gotzmann and Klara. Putting his profession at the end is easier to read as well. However, someone changed my edit simply because he believes the man should be first. I'm confused by this and I think this is destructive. It's a useless edit for personal reasons, and it distrupts the flow. Is this harmful editing? It's scary because he is threatening to block my account when literally all I did was add "Maria and Thomas Holl" to an article. He is threatening to block me from editing because it's apparently important that I say "Thomas Holl and Maria" instead. I didn't even notice. I have put the father's name first in my edits when I thought it made more sense. I don't know what to do. I need to make sure putting the father first is not a wikipedia rule that I'm breaking, because that is what the person is telling me and saying he will block me for.

I'm a new editor, but a long-time reader. What prompted me to write this was a Wikimedia banner asking to report to Wikimedia (UK chapter I think) examples of blatant underrepresentation of women in the articles. The banner seemed absurd: of course women (and many other groups) would be underrepresented as long as new editors that try to do edits different from spelling corrections are harassed when they write anything that doesn't fit average editor's worldview, no matter how neutral with regards to the sources the edit is.
As I've started editing, I've encountered two very strange practices and, although I couldn't find them in the list of perennial policy proposals, decided to ask here why they still exist. These practices seem very counter-productive, and seem like something that would've been discussed many times previously.
BRD is a well-kept secret. This would sound strange to any experienced editor, but as a new editor, you won't learn about BRD easily. Sure, you might stumble to the policy accidentally, but more likely than not you wouldn't know about it - and its essential to productive contributing to today's Wikipedia. After I registered, someone added a welcome message to the talk page with two dozens of links to various policies and essays. Even if I were to read all of them - I don't think BRD is amongst them.
Why isn't BRD policy made prominent to new editors on sign-up? Why is there no notification for new editors saying something like "your edit just was removed by other editor - if you think it should be in the article - please create new section on the article's talk page"?
I've tried editing Wikipedia a while ago and was discouraged by immediate removal of my first edit. I only was able to figure it now only because of a conversation with someone from Wikimedia who explained how policies work. I'm sure some of contributors who are seen disruptive may not really understand how BRD works - and there are definitely a lot of people who tried to edit in good faith and were discouraged after a near-immediate revert. I know a few personally.
Harassment under the guise of BRD. There are editors who write little, but would do a lot of reverts with comments like WP:OR, WP:SYNTH, WP:UNDUE, WP:WEIGHT, or something like 'sourced'/'per consensus' if they're reverting a removal. Obviously, any of such comments sounds like a fair concern, and I'm sure most of such editors are acting in a good faith. However, there is an issue with the practice.
'Discuss' means to initiate a conflict with another editor on a public forum and many simply aren't comfortable with this. Many would prefer to let it slip. (A funny example I was able to correct was a statement along the lines of " John Maynard Keynes blamed Russian and Jewish natures for mass murders in the USSR" added to WP a decade ago. Of course Keynes didn't write this, besides being married to a Russian, but the statement remained in two articles for a decade because removal of the statement was promptly reverted as 'this is sourced', sounded so plausible, and no editors felt bold enough to challenge the addition in talk for a decade.) But I guess that's the nature of BRD, which is massively valuable for Wikipedia.
Where it becomes problematic is there are editors who abuse reluctance of others to discuss. They would do reverts but won't reply when asked to explain their position on the talk page. My impression is that such reverts are usually done in a good faith, but (judging by their frequency) often without evaluating the referenced source - just because the edit doesn't fit the editor's world view. Some of such editors aren't shy to claim such motivation directly in talk or an edit comment. Whereas editor who adds content needs time to write it and to challenge deletion on talk page, deleting editor doesn't have to spend any time thinking of the revert: worst thing that could happen is being challenged on the talk page, which could then be ignored without consequences. I think its obvious how this harms editors from underrepresented groups, and why they describe this as harassment.
What I don't understand is why, for example, an editor could be blocked for adding spam systematically, but doing a few deletions with meaninglessly short comments and refusing to substantiate them on the talk page would result in a warning at best? Surely both are equally destructive? PaulT2022 ( talk) 23:57, 6 July 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I am currently working on a draft for an article covering a media franchise for which the two major entries ( Team Fortress Classic and Team Fortress 2) already have very well established articles, and as a result a majority of my draft will likely end up consisting of copying and rephrasing large blocks of text from these preexisting articles. I've read through WP:COPYWITHIN but it only seems to cover what to do when copying text into a preexisting article and to my understanding the creation of a page entails copying over the text from the sandbox in what is essentially a single edit, therefore severing it from the edit history of the sandbox that originated it. Does this mean I will have to attach a dummy edit listing the sources as soon as the draft is accepted or is there a more convenient way? Orchastrattor ( talk) 02:08, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
I feel like I'm going crazy, so many source keep saying that Belka & Strelka Soviet space dogs were the first to be recovered alive. But Korabl-Sputnik 2 was on 19 August 1960 (Belka and Strelka's mission) while Jupiter AM-18 (Able & Baker) was 28 May 1959. They all came back to earth alive. As one is monkeys and the other dogs, they are both higher organisms, right? Why does everywhere, including Wikipedia keep saying they the one in 1960 came first. The American source ( https://airandspace.si.edu/stories/editorial/blazing-trail-space) says they traveled some 480 km (300 miles) up which is into orbit, while what I've been able to read in English about Russia is saying ( https://www.drewexmachina.com/2020/08/19/korabl-sputnik-2-the-first-animals-recovered-from-orbit/) 306 by 339 kilometer orbit.

[I'm new to Wikipedia, if this is the wrong place to post my question, please let me know.]
Edit: Okay it seems that Belka & Strelka were the first to reach *orbit* rather than sub-orbit. This is not a height above earth, hence my confusion as both pass the Kármán line, but a speed needed to complete one orbital revolution (and become an artificial satellite) or reach escape velocity. It seems very strange to me that one should be considered the first animal in space to be safely returned and not the other as both were in space. Would editing to mention that one was the first in space, and the other the first in orbit, (and then recovered) make sense?
I believe that the first animals in space were fruit flies (if using the Karman line, [ source], [ source 2], [ source 3]) P.S. I'm pretty sure that your question is fine, as long as it sticks to the central topic of creating and maintaining an encyclopedia (WP:FORUM). I could be wrong, though.

I edited the biography of a living person, David Paulides. When I clicked to publish my changes, something happened and my edit tab disappeared. The editors who were working on the article were listening to a man @ Abe Cunningham who was very insistant that the subject of the biography have an arrest for a misdemeanor included in the article. This arrest happened over 25 years ago, and seemed so trivial to me, more of a misunderstanding. The subject is a sixty six year old author. I said that it doesn't improve the article to put that embarrassing arrest detail into the article, that it harms our subject who has said that he has lost income because his wikipedia page was so incorrect and negative (even the description on this link is wrong. He's known worldwide for his Missing411 investigation of missing persons, not Bigfoot.) I did my best to advocate for the subject's privacy, removed the arrest information, pointed out that even the statue of limitations for a misdemeanor in California is only a year, and looked into the very old sources being used. Abe Cunningham, who was extremely keen to get the arrest into the article, had even sent away to get the income, pension, and details of David Paulides career as a police officer. It seems so suspicious to me, like this person had a personal grudge against David Paulides I believe that I was right in erring on the side of removing the damaging arrest information. I don't think it was right for me to lose editing priveleges for that. Please pardon me for being so wordy here, and thank you so much for your help. Can I get my edit button back? I'm marikotambini

Insistantly twisting together two, years-apart careers is incorrect and misleading. These are not the only reasons why the article is incorrect. The person who wrote the bulk of this page and had enough pull to get it protected status is the real vandal. Due to false information wikipedia is costing this author income approximately once every two weeks or so from people who say they saw the wikipedia page and therefore don't want to do business with Mr. Paulides. I know that an encyclopedia is not for the benefit of the subject. However, I don't think wikipedia's purpose is to do the subject harm, either, which is what all the wrong information does, not a matter of anyones opinion, but incorrect, misleading information. Does removing the word "conspiracy" sound like an opinion? No. At the very most essential level of the work is the persistant statement by David Paulides that he has no theory about why people are going missing. Even when pressed hard, four times in a row in his interview with Art Bell of Coast to Coast AM, he stated definitively that he doesn't know why and doesn't have a theory. I referenced this above. The above reasons are why not being allowed to edit this page against consensus makes me wonder who this consensus is. All of wikipedia's road blocks to correcting this article mean nothing. The article is faulty and incorrect in every possible way. Debunkers should not use a biography as a platform to discredit every bit of an author or scientist's work. I'll disclaim that I don't know David Paulides, am not acquainted with any of his friends or family, and live five states away from where he lives. I don't know him at all. I've communicated with him by email once. I don't have any personal stake here. If you intention in asking me the question from above was not to open this door, please pardon me. Following all the requirements of those before me has gotten them nowhere. Marikotambini ( talk) 00:27, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

While this is a convenient feature for users, some may click or tap the buttons simply because the buttons are there, or perhaps they think they have to select one (i.e., they believe the edit will not be saved unless they enter a summary, which is not true).

I want to connect with another editor who I noticed fortuitously in the Teahouse is editing one of the same articles that I am, but not in reply to the message I saw. Long story short, I understand I'm supposed to be able to write him on his Talk Page ... but how? I don't see an option in the lefthand column. All I see there that's relevant to my query is an e-mail option, but that's not what I want. I would have assumed there'd be an option like Message on Talk Page near the e-mail option.

Is this a reliable source? How do you know if a book is reliable enough to be cited in an article? VORTEX 3427 ( Talk!) 12:22, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
Can somebody plz advise/ help out? I'm new to wiki reporting. My edit ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/?title=Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/117.198.114.157&oldid=1097228539) is not listed here: Special:History/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations
Why? I am not sure if I have done the report right or it got throught or what happened. Special:Contributions/117.198.114.157 and Special:Contributions/117.198.112.181; the other similar ip seems to have socked and trailed me to another page for an edit war. Just wanna know if a regd user is doing em. The ip addresses look similar and got active around the same time.

Hey! @ User:97.126.96.239 but the the edit is still not here though: Special:History/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations
Just saw the checkuser clerk decline, while "behaviour investigation is pending". I have just been reading sourcing and editing for hours today and I'm hungry now. Will surely do it tomorrow if there's no progress. Thanks again. May the force be with you. Bye see ya. Nolicamaca ( talk) 16:36, 9 July 2022 (UTC)
I see! i think i found suspicious behaviour with a regd and and I'm collecting evidence for ANI! Tq. Nolicamaca ( talk) 14:15, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
Turns out your right. Have you seen above diffs? I guess ip addresses cannot be checked our linked to regd user due to privacy, right? In this case a loophole/ the misuse of privacy but the ip has stopped the disruption/ war. Nolicamaca ( talk) 14:15, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

Where should received emails be visible? My notifications include "Dur Godiva sent you an email." but it isn't in my ISP's website inbox - there's no spam folder - or my Outlook inbox (all emails received go to both). On 30 June I left a message on Dur Godiva's Talk but there hasn't been any response. Mcljlm ( talk) 03:31, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
If a user creates another Wikipedia account through the clean start technique and it is recognized as a legitimate account. How do he re-request extended confirmed permission if he can't say he already had an account with extended confirmed permission. Because users who use the clean start technique should not let others know that that user is the previous user they met. Because the only required contestants for such permissions are users with alternative accounts. — Princess Faye ( my talk) 14:07, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
I've made some major edits on several articles for which I didn't check the Watch This Page box when I published them but now I wish I had. The reason I didn't at the time was because I had previously checked Watch This Page for the articles and thought that would trigger alerts for all future edits if other editors came along later and changed them. Only gradually did it dawn on me that I probably should have checked all my major edits each time I published them. I wouldn't want that to happen! Augnablik ( talk) 09:13, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
