Hello Teahouse. I wanted to ask a question regarding notable alumni being listed for universities. I read through Wikipedia:Notable alumni and it mentions offering a few examples in the university article. Then where there are too many being moved to their separate page for "List of Alumni from X University". Though, I will also note that it states that page is only to be used for historical reference and is no longer the main consensus. My main questions regarding this are as follows:
1. What determines who stays in the main article and who gets relegated to the list page. Is that typically something that is hashed out on talk page for the respective university?
2. If there is someone who is notable for not exactly the greatest of reasons, would that be a reason to keep them off of the main article page and relegate them only to the list page?
Kind Regards! - Apks94 ( talk) 00:32, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
who is notable for not exactly the greatest of reasons, that should not be a factor in the decision. For example, there are 33 alumni listed at the main Harvard University article. Among them is Ted Kaczynski. Cullen328 ( talk) 01:10, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello,
I recently had an reverted for being non-constructive. The information I deleted was incorrect--the page claimed that Knott County was the second-to-last county to flip from Democrat to Republican in Kentucky, when in actuality Hancock, Henderson and Franklin Counties all voted for Obama in 2008, whereas Knott County did not. Adding these additional qualifications to the statement in the article seemed overly cumbersome and possibly on violating Wikipedia:NOTSTATS. Should I have given a better description of my edit? Floated the deletion in the talk page? As it stands currently, the information on the page is inaccurate, so it needs to be fixed somehow.

Hello, hate to return so soon, but this is an important question to improve my knowledge as an editor. I have noticed many articles written in other languages (not English) that are very short, cited poorly and are not marked as stubs. For example, I am working on editing the article "Doraemon 2: SOS! Otogi no Kuni" which was initially translated from Japanese, and am befuddled at the fact that it got accepted in the first place (due to previously mentioned lack of citations ((Zero, to be exact,)) and being a stub). To organize my thoughts, I have 3 questions: 1. Is the policy for article acceptance the same as on English Wikipedia, 2. Should I tag this specific article for deletion as it is a stub, for lack of notability (Used WP:VG/S and got basically nothing, three pages in Russian of the four results.), and having zero sources, 3. If I were to tag the article for deletion, should I also tag the pages in other languages for deletion, or is this not an issue I should handle?

Does a subject notable enough to have it’s own article on another language Wikipedia warrant having an article on English Wikipedia? For a specific example, I’d like to translate the article Selo RISCO from Portuguese Wikipedia into English. Selo RISCO is an independent record label based in São Paulo. It is a lot more notable, and “article worthy” to a Brazilian audience so I’m unsure as to whether or not I should make it a page on English Wikipedia.
In short: Because a subject is notable in another language, does it warrant an English article by the merit of it being notable in another language? 𓂀 SaluteVII 𓀀 ( talk • contribs) 13:46, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
Hello Teahouse community,
I hope you are all doing well. I recently attempted to restore a Wikipedia article about my father, M. D. Parashar, a wildlife artist, which was deleted in 2021. I believe there was a misunderstanding regarding its notability, and I would appreciate some guidance on how to proceed.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Could you kindly provide advice on the best approach for restoring the article and addressing any conflict of interest?

Hello, members, can someone please advise on why Draft:Quark Baby has been continually declined by reviewers? I am of the opinion that, although the draft was initially written in a promotional way and with inappropriate sources, it has been cleaned up a couple of times and I believe it now meets the basic WP:NCORP criteria to warrant a separate Wikipedia article for the organization. Of course, I have a COI that I declared as required. But I believe the draft has been improved as needed to justify a separate Wikipedia article. Whereas the organization does not have much news coverage as at now, the available ones (especially references 1,3, and 7, which have been used to establish notability), I believe, meet the necessary criteria to establish notability of the organization and enable the draft to be accepted as a separate Wikipedia article (the other references are trivial mentions and were not used to establish notability but just to support some claims). Please, can someone advise?
The specific WP:NCORP criteria that I believe have been met include: the basis of decision making to warrant a separate Wikipedia article, the primary application criteria, the application process, as well as the significance, independence, and audience requirements of the sources. The sources are also multiple, reliable, and secondary. One source (reference 7) has also been shown to pass the criteria for inclusion of product reviews.
Please see this reviewer's talk page for a detailed discussion over this draft. He gave reasons for declining the draft but I disagreed with them and they advised that I may seek help here.
Thank you for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d ( talk • contribs)

Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources, and to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources and primary sources.Secondary sources - as long as they're reliable, of course - are almost always preferred (there may be exceptions, which should be hashed out on talk pages, but that's the general rule). 199.208.172.35 ( talk) 19:36, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi Teahouse!
I am the Wikipedian in Residence for the Pérez Art Museum Miami. I'm also a Brazilian art researcher and museum curator, active in the United States with Art+Feminism.
I was told that my draft article on artist Marcela Cantuária had to go through AFC, because she has exhibited at Pérez Art Museum, even though her article has very little to do with the museum.
So, I submitted it through AFC, and the article was rejected for lacking a few citations. I added them as requested, and I have had no response for many weeks.

Hello Wikipedians, I'm curious to ascertain whether it is permissible to omit a citation when implementing an edit. For example, if an individual modifies an article by appending a substantial amount of text, yet neglects to incorporate citation marks, is this an indication that an authoritative source is required?
Is the objective to validate the veracity of the newly added information when editing an article?
I am aware that this question may seem somewhat trivial for the Teahouse, but I would appreciate some clarification. I have observed numerous anonymous IP users, as well as registered contributors on Wikipedia, making modifications to articles, occasionally with the inclusion of citations and at other times without attributions. Is there a specific guideline or section within Wikipedia's rules?
And..does Wikipedia offer directives on how someone should proceed when encountering instances of unsourced or poorly sourced information?

As such I started editing wikipedia (en, gu, hi) in 2009. But due to the scarcity of time, I took a long pause and recently, I started it again. So, in a way I am a new. A difficulty I am facing is the numeral used in template 586.7 kilometres (365 mi) that converts km to mile. But I want input and output to use ૧૨૩૪૫૬૭૮૯૦ this gujarati numerals.

A few weeks ago I noticed that the notability of Anirudh Devgan was being questioned. Aside from being the CEO of a multibillion company, he is an elected member of National Academy of Engineering, recipient of the "lifetime achievement" Phil Kaufman Award, and made specific award-winning technical contributions (for some reason, my edit with four refs for that was undone). Devgan also happens to be an IEEE Fellow, as mentioned in several sources, but the IEEE Fellow look-up fails to show that. It didn't help that a paid contributor suggested changes via the talk page, but that should not *hurt* notability either. Talk:Anirudh Devgan keeps on discussing this topic, with continued abstract arguments about "niche awards" and about CEOs of large companies not necessarily being notable. @Bookku was kind enough to try a process-based discussion of references (link from Talk:Anirudh Devgan), but I am not sure if that helped. Could someone constructive please take a look at this and put us out of our misery? Leaving unresolved warnings on pages for long time makes Wikipedia look unauthoritative, and suggests that the community can't handle straightforward notability checks.

Hello,
I am new to wikipedia, but I want to create and edit pages about women I find inspiring. I have tried to study the guidelines the best I can, but sorry if I've made any mistakes. I would like to begin with a page about Zenna Hopson. I have previously worked for her, but am no longer employed by her. She is not paying me to do this, and she does not know I am doing this.
I belive her many public institutional roles make her suitably notable for a wikipedia page She was formerly chair of OFSTED in the uk and she served as a non-executive director on the board of the Royal Navy for 10 years and chaired their audit committee. She has been awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Laws from Portsmouth University. She is currently CEO of charity Dallaglio Rugbyworks. Zenna also makes frequent media appearances such as Sky News and LBC.
Zenna is the neice of the famous British intelligence officer Vera Atkins: /info/en/?search=Vera_Atkins and she is the daughter of Guy Atkins, a scholar and expert in West African languages, he was the author of Manding Art and Civilization. I beleive at some point he would also be a suitable candidate for a wikipedia page due to his incredible contribution to the study of West African cultures.
If you feel this might be a suitable page, I can provide verifiable links for all of this information and I would ensure to write in a neutral tone.
Thank you so much for reading my message, any advice or help with this is very welcome. Audra AudraNoble1990 ( talk) 07:56, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

I want this draft to replace the current KREW article, which is a stub article about a radio station. I noticed on Wikipedia:Processing drafts with duplicate titles that when a draft is better than the existing article, the existing article can be replaced with the draft. This is what I want.
The current article has only an infobox, 2 short paragraphs, and only a single reference. It is marked as a stub. My draft has actual headings and subheadings, 8 references, and much more content.
Still, I want to make sure this draft has the best chances possible of replacing the original article. Please leave any suggestions for improvement you may have. Any additional sources are also greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Though it still remains a stub article, I see no reason to delete it.

I will need to make some edits to List of municipalities in Florida. The areas are out of date, and need an update based on the 2020 US Census Gazetteer. However, the area column of the table needs to be sortable - at the moment, it is sorting incorrectly because it contains both numbers and text - so it probably needs the {{ nts}} template.

I noticed this after creating a userspace draft for Krew, which I called User:AKFkrewfamKF1/sandbox/KREW that I submitted for review. But that name was in conflict with the article KREW, about a radio station, so it was moved to Draft:Krew (Youtube group) by the reviewer. But I chose the all caps version because the page Krew is currently a redirect to Krewe. There is also a KR3W article about a clothing company.
Clearly a disambiguation page is needed here. But I do not know whether the page
Krew (currently a redirect to
Krewe) should be turned into a disambiguation page, or if a new Krew (disambiguation) page should be created. The user who moved the article cited
Krewe as the primary page, but it is ranked a low importance by the project and by
WikiProject Louisiana (mid importance by
WikiProject Louisiana - New Orleans, but that is a very specific topic). Any help in deciding would be appreciated.
Pages that would be included in this disambiguation page are reincluded below for refference:

My question stems from an edit to the page on Oruro to include a person born in the city but who is otherwise only notable for actions in a different country entirely.

I want to clean up and improve citations to the Talmud, but I don't know how to acccomodate the traditional citation system within Wikipedia's templates.
Background: References to the Talmud invariably mean the Talmud Bavli, the Babylonian Talmud, although it might be specifically identified as such to avoid potential ambiguity. There is another work called the Jerusalem Talmud, which would usually be identified as such. I don't propose to address citation to the Jerusalem Talmud at present, because it's a less standardised system.
Citations to the Babylonian Talmud consist of a volume name, e.g. Bava Batra, and followed by a folio/side number, such as 91a or 12b. This uses the pagination of the standard text, the Vilna Edition Shas. There are many modern editions of this work by different publishers, and several translations. The original (Aramaic) text is almost always identical across editions, but the translations are of course different.
Consequently, it seems to me that a correct citation to the Babylonian Talmud would include:
Where the reference is to the original text:
Additionally, where the reference is to a translation, or a particular edition of the original text:
And of course if the work is online:
So a complete reference IMO would be something like:
Talmud Bavli, Bava Batra 91a, The William Davidson digital edition of the Koren Noé Talmud, Sefaria.org
The particular problems I have had are distinguishing between the title of the text ("Babylonian Talmud, Bava Batra") and the title of the edition ("William Davidson Digital Edition"), as well as using the name of a volume ("Bava Batra") rather than a number ("7"). Any suggestions as to how I can best accommodate this within (e.g.) Wikipeda's template:Cite book would be appreciated. Joe in Australia ( talk) 06:02, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

In reading
History of the Philippines, I noticed lots and lots of places where it seemed to me to need copyediting. I decided to do that. However, when I began editing, I noticed a line near the top of the editing page that said, "{{
Use Philippine English|date=January 2023}}
." This led me to stop editing, abandon any changes I had made, and come here for clarification.
I understand there are allowances for British vs. American English, but what about Philippines English? Is that even a thing? Although I live in the Phils, I am not ethnically a Filipino. I know well that English as used orally by Filipinos is different from how Americans use it, but does that legitimize it for use on Wikipedia? If it does, I will just keep my white nose out of it. If not, I will proceed as I began.
I have a second, related question. If I am making lots of small edits, maybe even a couple hundred, do I a) enter and save them together as one very long edit, b) make each a separate edit, or c) somewhere in between the two?

Granted, it's got a {{ citation needed}} template at the end, so take it with a grain of salt. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 12:56, 20 September 2023 (UTC)Philippine English traditionally follows American English spelling and grammar while it shares some similarity to Commonwealth English. Philippine English follows the latter when it comes to punctuation as well as date notations. For example, a comma almost never precedes the final item in an enumeration (much like the AP Stylebook and other style guides in English-language journalism generally).

Hello Wiki friends,
My name is Amin. Yesterday I received a message from a Wiki administrator, claiming that I had uploaded a photo to Wikipedia “primarily for the purpose of insulting, demeaning, or defaming a person..”.. The administrator deleted the photo without giving me a opportunity to discuss it.
The administrator deleted the photo based on his assumptions that were incorrect. I had uploaded that photo with the full permission of my friend, and it was intended to inform, and not to insult or defame anyone. My friend who was in the picture and I both had a laugh about it. By now you must be curious about the photo. As it has been deleted by the administrator, you can still see a screenshot here, on a tweet that happened to go a bit viral, and my reply-tweet here.
I feel the administrator was wrong to delete the photo without any discussion. I would like to restore it. What would be my next step to do that? I welcome any help.
And if the administrator was right to delete it, I could accept that too. But I’d like to understand his arguments better. Because right now I feel they’re based on false assumptions and accusations. Small things like this slowly suck the fun out of reading and editing Wikipedia.

Normally when a draft is potentially G13 deleted you get notifications about it, but this one I got nothing for, no 5 months warning and no talk page message about it being deleted at 6 months. Since I have a lot of drafts and often use deletion nobtifications as an opportunity to put work into the article I see this as potentially concerning.

There is strong consensus that the creators and major contributors of pages and media files should be warned of a speedy deletion nomination (or of the deletion if not informed before).(and following paragraph). Seems fair to interpret the five month warning as being previously informed, but also fair to say it isn't. 57.140.16.29 ( talk) 16:17, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi, just saying that I've been a user on Wikipedia for 19 or so years, but have only occasionally edited or added an article. I have never engaged with the community much, but recently I have intensified my Wikipedia work somewhat and thus wanted to introduce myself -- I'm Podstawko (Adam in real life), work in IT but have a wide variety of interests otherwise, actually I suffer from overfocusing on new interests and falling into various rabbit holes. I would love to contribute to Wikipedia much more than I have so far. My contributions are split between Polish and English wikipedias, so I'll be building my reputation 2x slower than an average English contributor :) Some tips on where most help is needed would be welcome, I guess Wikipedia:Backlog is one of the places to go, any other hints? In any case, hello and happy to be a part of the Wikipedia Community! Podstawko ( talk) 09:32, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is presumed notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject.If such sources exist for the company you work for (like they do for Retailmenot - scroll down to the bottom of that article for the list), an article is acceptable. However, if such sources do not exist, an article may not be included. Tollens ( talk) 05:01, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
Hello!
While I know the process for removing templates like AfD are usually talk page discussions, or removing maintenance templates tends to be a best judgement - what is the process for removing more intense templates like Undisclosed Paid?
An example: I'd like to fix any of the issues with the Cloud Native Computing Foundation article, since it has had an Undisclosed Paid template since 2020. I'm not affiliated with CNCF nor have I ever contributed to CNCF's projects but I think open source work is important (and so is having accurate, unbiased Wiki articles). However, if I do spend time contributing to cleaning up the article and making sure it is more NPOV do I need to open discussion on the talk page for the Undisclosed Paid template to be removed?
No worries if there isn't concrete guidelines on this sort of thing. Just genuinely curious. Thanks! Lightcrowd ( talk) 01:59, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Good day, all! (This question is not about editing existing pages, and I don't seek to create a new one; I'm just looking for ideas. If the Teahouse is the wrong place for this, could someone point me in the right direction?)
I'm an avid wiki lurker, and so is one of my close friends, who I want to create a birthday card for. The card in itself would be a printed header and introduction of a Wikipedia-style page about the person.
Naturally, they don't qualify for a page, and I'm not interested in publishing one for them. Instead, I want to create an authentic-looking page with the Wikipedia visual editor. I was considering making one in my sandbox, but I obviously would rather refrain from posting their information on the internet. I've also tried hosting my own MediaWiki server, but configuring it to use Wikipedia templates and image hosting has proved a bit beyond my ability.
Does anyone have any ideas on a way I could create a private article (or close mock-up) using the Visual Editor or any other method? Thank you! NootingPenguin ( talk) 21:33, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello all, I am a paid student worker at Rice University, and I've been tasked with creating Wikipedia pages, one for each member of the Rice Chemistry faculty.
I am brand new to Wiki stuff, and in the last few hours of researching what is and is not allowed on Wiki, I've come across different pages on notability and Conflict of Interest. I am seeking clarification on these issues.
1) Does being a world-class chemistry department qualify each member to have a bio on Wiki? Or does this fail to meet notability criteria?
2) I am a paid student worker creating these pages for the purpose of making the involved scholars more noticeable and searchable on the internet. Would these articles be considered promotion by a business and be disallowed thereby? Also, would articles such as these fail to be accepted because I am a paid worker for this department and a student at this school, having therefore several conflicts of interest?

Hello , I am so in over my head here. I got annoyed that something were missing on a categories page and discovered that to add something I had to add a page to refer to. So I decided to do that (create a new page) by copying code from an existing page and and edit that by inserting and replacing with my own text instead (editing existing code using my own text usually works for me here). I think that my 'creation' is sort of OK - ugly with a lot of warts of course - but I simply can not find out how to get the text of the demanded reference links to display left of links !
I am trying this format :
ref name="My text">url= https://mylink.org/about</ref
(I removed the starting < and ending > to make code show here )(could not find out either how to place code here and both be visible and at same time not have it parsed)
But "My text" simply does not show in reference section next to "mylink" (which do show !) instead it shows
url=Mylink.org/about
I can easily get the text to display by just filling in :
<! My text : https://mylink.org/about >
(with out the starting <! and ending >)
But then it doesn't show as being part of the reference list How do I get the text to show in the reference section next to the link ? The help pages is of absolutely no help at all (I will not list all help pages not of help here !) TeslaTruck ( talk) 12:52, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
<ref name="myref">[https://mylink.org/about My text]</ref>
, which displays like this.
[1] The name="myref"
part gives the reference an identifier so it can be re-used again later in the page and is not visible on the page itself. You might consider using the
Visual Editor, though, which gives you the ability to format references without using code. –

@ Chiselinccc: With enough reviewers patrolling new pages, articles like this would be put back into draft space more efficiently, but there's a huge backlog now.
We do want to encourage bold edits, and give people the opportunity to learn from mistakes. In this case Rajmama is editing in good faith but needs to work harder to avoid creating needless work for others to clean up. With regard to that particular draft, I have concerns about the comment left by one reviewer on the talk page, about the sources being sponsored. Those would need to be eliminated. The subject likely passes notability criteria for inclusion, but not with sponsored sources.
New editors who aren't yet confirmed are required to go through AFC to create anything, but once you have 4 days and 10 edits under your belt, anything goes. I think the autoconfirmed status is too low of a bar to allow article creation directly in article space (or moving to article space from draft space). Raising that bar would require community discussion, probably at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy). ~ Anachronist ( talk) 15:59, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

I can see a case for re-drafting it, which is not the same.
(A7: No credible indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content, events): G4: Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion). This is not "because it has ties to" a previously deleted article, but because it is substantially the same as that deleted article, and also because it does not appear to address the fundamental, inescapable reason for the first deletion: that sources did not exist to establish that Kwong meets Wikipedia's criteria for notability.

I meant declined, not rejected.
The declined draft is Draft:Krew (Youtube group).
The reason given was:
"This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources."
I do not know if they mean I don't have enough sources to prove notability, if there is information that needs to be sourced but isn't, if some of my sources aren't reliable, or something else. The phrasing is a bit ambiguous to me.
Also, the link given before is for the current version. I added a few new sources in a "Further Reading" section, made a few small edits, and added another reference. EDIT: moved one of the sources out of the "Further reading" section to use as an actual refference.
If this was a case of not having enough references to prove notability, this may have fixed the issue, but not for the other cases.
Noticed another draft, not mine, had the following in addition to what I had on my draft:
"This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia."
Now I can tell this isn't a notability issue, but I still don't know if they mean I have unsourced information, or if some of my sources are unreliable, or both. AKFkrewfamKF1 ( talk) edited 18:01, 21 September 2023 (UTC) edited 01:09, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi TheAlienMan2002, also a bit confused, but if you mean adding a wikilink to your edit summary, so that a term in your summary can be clicked when viewing your edit summary in the history of the page, yes, you can do that. With rare exceptions, you do that the same way as you do when adding a wikilink to an article, that is, you enclose it in double brackets (optionally, piping the link as well). If you look at the edit history of this page, and find my edit summary (look for the phrase, "how to wikilink a term in the edit summary") you will see an example of it in use.

Is there anyway to see past interactions between two editors? -- NotCharizard 🗨 05:08, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi there, got a question about logical quotation, specifically about when to put a period before an end quotation mark instead of after. I understand it happens when A) there is a period in the original quote and B) when the quote is a complete sentence. However, I'm seeing a hodge-podge of periods being before and after the end quotation mark specifically in quotations that start mid-sentence. Is the complete sentence piece the deciding factor, or is it ok to do it with incomplete sentences because there is, obviously, a period at the end of the sentence in the original quote? It seems like complete sentence is the deciding factor, but want to make sure before I do any more editing. Thanks! Pac12dan ( talk) 05:24, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

This film is releasing on 28 September 2023.filming is completed" had some relevance to Wikipedia: it doesn't. An article is moved to Draft space because the mover believes that it is not at present suitable for the main encyclopaedia, but could be made so.

12:59, 22 September 2023 (UTC)Hello, Teahouse hosts (even though I apparently listed myself as one)…
I was working with
WP:JWB and found out that when I fixed curly quotes it was extending its reach into the references. Are curly quotes generally allowed in references because they must be titled/styled "as-is" or does
MOS:CURLY generally extend into references? Thanks.
Postscript: for example, JWB was attempting to fix a curly apostrophe within a reference and I just allowed it to pass (see

I'm new here and getting the hang of things. If I were to create an article on a living person in a certain field I'm knowledgeable about, such as content marketing or holistic health, how popular should they be? What I mean is that if I can't find articles for reputable newspapers or journals on their work, are they still considered notable if their contributions to their community are recognized on other platforms? I'm trying to learn how to do research and not start writing on a topic that has no viable chances of being published here. Introvertedwriter1995 ( talk) 12:29, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
Can you direct me to specific criteria for notability.
I particular, I'd like to contest a rating of "not notable" with an article I submitted about a Lord-Lieutenant. This is a national position, appointed by HM The King (UK). Can you suggest why this would not meet notability criteria, as it has in the past? LWSimpson ( talk) 12:33, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
suggest why this would not meet notability criteria, as it has in the past: if the person has been appointed that recently, there simply might not be enough material published about him yet - simply a matter of WP:TOOSOON. Even if there are announcements of the appointment, if none of them contain any substantial biographical information, then there are not the sources to establish notability in Wikipedia's sense.

Hi Teahouse Hosts, I am currently drafting a page on Shot Peen Forming and want to include references to published articles from a journal. The articles are freely available for downloads as pdfs but I'm not sure whether this makes it ok to upload them to Wikipedia / Wiki Commons. My alternative is to just give links to the relevant articles in the journal. However, this only gives very brief info - not really enough to function as a reference in terms of content. Would appreciate advice on how to proceed. CSK45Kays ( talk) 11:55, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello Teahouse. I wanted to ask a question regarding notable alumni being listed for universities. I read through Wikipedia:Notable alumni and it mentions offering a few examples in the university article. Then where there are too many being moved to their separate page for "List of Alumni from X University". Though, I will also note that it states that page is only to be used for historical reference and is no longer the main consensus. My main questions regarding this are as follows:
1. What determines who stays in the main article and who gets relegated to the list page. Is that typically something that is hashed out on talk page for the respective university?
2. If there is someone who is notable for not exactly the greatest of reasons, would that be a reason to keep them off of the main article page and relegate them only to the list page?
Kind Regards! - Apks94 ( talk) 00:32, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
who is notable for not exactly the greatest of reasons, that should not be a factor in the decision. For example, there are 33 alumni listed at the main Harvard University article. Among them is Ted Kaczynski. Cullen328 ( talk) 01:10, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello,
I recently had an reverted for being non-constructive. The information I deleted was incorrect--the page claimed that Knott County was the second-to-last county to flip from Democrat to Republican in Kentucky, when in actuality Hancock, Henderson and Franklin Counties all voted for Obama in 2008, whereas Knott County did not. Adding these additional qualifications to the statement in the article seemed overly cumbersome and possibly on violating Wikipedia:NOTSTATS. Should I have given a better description of my edit? Floated the deletion in the talk page? As it stands currently, the information on the page is inaccurate, so it needs to be fixed somehow.

Hello, hate to return so soon, but this is an important question to improve my knowledge as an editor. I have noticed many articles written in other languages (not English) that are very short, cited poorly and are not marked as stubs. For example, I am working on editing the article "Doraemon 2: SOS! Otogi no Kuni" which was initially translated from Japanese, and am befuddled at the fact that it got accepted in the first place (due to previously mentioned lack of citations ((Zero, to be exact,)) and being a stub). To organize my thoughts, I have 3 questions: 1. Is the policy for article acceptance the same as on English Wikipedia, 2. Should I tag this specific article for deletion as it is a stub, for lack of notability (Used WP:VG/S and got basically nothing, three pages in Russian of the four results.), and having zero sources, 3. If I were to tag the article for deletion, should I also tag the pages in other languages for deletion, or is this not an issue I should handle?

Does a subject notable enough to have it’s own article on another language Wikipedia warrant having an article on English Wikipedia? For a specific example, I’d like to translate the article Selo RISCO from Portuguese Wikipedia into English. Selo RISCO is an independent record label based in São Paulo. It is a lot more notable, and “article worthy” to a Brazilian audience so I’m unsure as to whether or not I should make it a page on English Wikipedia.
In short: Because a subject is notable in another language, does it warrant an English article by the merit of it being notable in another language? 𓂀 SaluteVII 𓀀 ( talk • contribs) 13:46, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Hello, members, can someone please advise on why Draft:Quark Baby has been continually declined by reviewers? I am of the opinion that, although the draft was initially written in a promotional way and with inappropriate sources, it has been cleaned up a couple of times and I believe it now meets the basic WP:NCORP criteria to warrant a separate Wikipedia article for the organization. Of course, I have a COI that I declared as required. But I believe the draft has been improved as needed to justify a separate Wikipedia article. Whereas the organization does not have much news coverage as at now, the available ones (especially references 1,3, and 7, which have been used to establish notability), I believe, meet the necessary criteria to establish notability of the organization and enable the draft to be accepted as a separate Wikipedia article (the other references are trivial mentions and were not used to establish notability but just to support some claims). Please, can someone advise?
The specific WP:NCORP criteria that I believe have been met include: the basis of decision making to warrant a separate Wikipedia article, the primary application criteria, the application process, as well as the significance, independence, and audience requirements of the sources. The sources are also multiple, reliable, and secondary. One source (reference 7) has also been shown to pass the criteria for inclusion of product reviews.
Please see this reviewer's talk page for a detailed discussion over this draft. He gave reasons for declining the draft but I disagreed with them and they advised that I may seek help here.
Thank you for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by See-N-e-v-e-r-M-i-n-d ( talk • contribs)

I am the Wikipedian in Residence for the Pérez Art Museum Miami. I'm also a Brazilian art researcher and museum curator, active in the United States with Art+Feminism.
I was told that my draft article on artist Marcela Cantuária had to go through AFC, because she has exhibited at Pérez Art Museum, even though her article has very little to do with the museum.
So, I submitted it through AFC, and the article was rejected for lacking a few citations. I added them as requested, and I have had no response for many weeks.

Hello Wikipedians, I'm curious to ascertain whether it is permissible to omit a citation when implementing an edit. For example, if an individual modifies an article by appending a substantial amount of text, yet neglects to incorporate citation marks, is this an indication that an authoritative source is required?
Is the objective to validate the veracity of the newly added information when editing an article?
I am aware that this question may seem somewhat trivial for the Teahouse, but I would appreciate some clarification. I have observed numerous anonymous IP users, as well as registered contributors on Wikipedia, making modifications to articles, occasionally with the inclusion of citations and at other times without attributions. Is there a specific guideline or section within Wikipedia's rules?
And..does Wikipedia offer directives on how someone should proceed when encountering instances of unsourced or poorly sourced information?

Any material lacking an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the material may be removed and should not be restored without an inline citation to a reliable source.However, this does not mean that all content with no inline citation must be removed - common sense should be used. In addition, you are expected (but are not required) to attempt to verify a statement yourself before removing it or tagging it with a {{ citation needed}} marker.

Dear Members,
I am working on an article for " T2M URL Shortener" and submitted a draft which got rejected. Then I added more references and still got rejected. I believe I added enough references but it seems like not, which seems fair because I don't have many reliable references.
Can anyone please help me to find more reliable references for the "T2M URL Shortener" page.

Hi. Can someone casually give a look and (if possible) help me improve Draft:Watsonx? I guess it needs to be more specific/has more specific references to meet general notability.

Hello!
Recently, on an off-wiki channel, I saw two more-experienced editors call another editor a wanker for a difference of opinion. As far as I can tell the editor wasn't being disruptive about it either.

A few weeks ago I noticed that the notability of Anirudh Devgan was being questioned. Aside from being the CEO of a multibillion company, he is an elected member of National Academy of Engineering, recipient of the "lifetime achievement" Phil Kaufman Award, and made specific award-winning technical contributions (for some reason, my edit with four refs for that was undone). Devgan also happens to be an IEEE Fellow, as mentioned in several sources, but the IEEE Fellow look-up fails to show that. It didn't help that a paid contributor suggested changes via the talk page, but that should not *hurt* notability either. Talk:Anirudh Devgan keeps on discussing this topic, with continued abstract arguments about "niche awards" and about CEOs of large companies not necessarily being notable. @Bookku was kind enough to try a process-based discussion of references (link from Talk:Anirudh Devgan), but I am not sure if that helped. Could someone constructive please take a look at this and put us out of our misery? Leaving unresolved warnings on pages for long time makes Wikipedia look unauthoritative, and suggests that the community can't handle straightforward notability checks.

Hello,
I am new to wikipedia, but I want to create and edit pages about women I find inspiring. I have tried to study the guidelines the best I can, but sorry if I've made any mistakes. I would like to begin with a page about Zenna Hopson. I have previously worked for her, but am no longer employed by her. She is not paying me to do this, and she does not know I am doing this.
I belive her many public institutional roles make her suitably notable for a wikipedia page She was formerly chair of OFSTED in the uk and she served as a non-executive director on the board of the Royal Navy for 10 years and chaired their audit committee. She has been awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Laws from Portsmouth University. She is currently CEO of charity Dallaglio Rugbyworks. Zenna also makes frequent media appearances such as Sky News and LBC.
Zenna is the neice of the famous British intelligence officer Vera Atkins: /info/en/?search=Vera_Atkins and she is the daughter of Guy Atkins, a scholar and expert in West African languages, he was the author of Manding Art and Civilization. I beleive at some point he would also be a suitable candidate for a wikipedia page due to his incredible contribution to the study of West African cultures.
If you feel this might be a suitable page, I can provide verifiable links for all of this information and I would ensure to write in a neutral tone.
Thank you so much for reading my message, any advice or help with this is very welcome. Audra AudraNoble1990 ( talk) 07:56, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

I want this draft to replace the current KREW article, which is a stub article about a radio station. I noticed on Wikipedia:Processing drafts with duplicate titles that when a draft is better than the existing article, the existing article can be replaced with the draft. This is what I want.
The current article has only an infobox, 2 short paragraphs, and only a single reference. It is marked as a stub. My draft has actual headings and subheadings, 8 references, and much more content.
Still, I want to make sure this draft has the best chances possible of replacing the original article. Please leave any suggestions for improvement you may have. Any additional sources are also greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I feel the KREW article should remain, so I have been researching the station, and added additional content, as well as four new references. Though it still remains a stub article, I see no reason to delete it.

I will need to make some edits to List of municipalities in Florida. The areas are out of date, and need an update based on the 2020 US Census Gazetteer. However, the area column of the table needs to be sortable - at the moment, it is sorting incorrectly because it contains both numbers and text - so it probably needs the {{ nts}} template. I am also not sure if it should have a single column for area in both sqmi and km2, or separate columns for each. Which option seems better? Are these issues enough to demote it from featured list?

I noticed this after creating a userspace draft for Krew, which I called User:AKFkrewfamKF1/sandbox/KREW that I submitted for review. But that name was in conflict with the article KREW, about a radio station, so it was moved to Draft:Krew (Youtube group) by the reviewer. But I chose the all caps version because the page Krew is currently a redirect to Krewe. There is also a KR3W article about a clothing company.
Clearly a disambiguation page is needed here. But I do not know whether the page
Krew (currently a redirect to
Krewe) should be turned into a disambiguation page, or if a new Krew (disambiguation) page should be created. The user who moved the article cited
Krewe as the primary page, but it is ranked a low importance by the project and by
WikiProject Louisiana (mid importance by
WikiProject Louisiana - New Orleans, but that is a very specific topic). Any help in deciding would be appreciated.
Pages that would be included in this disambiguation page are reincluded below for refference:

My question stems from an edit to the page on Oruro to include a person born in the city but who is otherwise only notable for actions in a different country entirely.

There is another work called the Jerusalem Talmud, which would usually be identified as such. I don't propose to address citation to the Jerusalem Talmud at present, because it's a less standardised system.
Citations to the Babylonian Talmud consist of a volume name, e.g. Bava Batra, and followed by a folio/side number, such as 91a or 12b. This uses the pagination of the standard text, the Vilna Edition Shas. There are many modern editions of this work by different publishers, and several translations. The original (Aramaic) text is almost always identical across editions, but the translations are of course different.
Consequently, it seems to me that a correct citation to the Babylonian Talmud would include:
Where the reference is to the original text:
Additionally, where the reference is to a translation, or a particular edition of the original text:
And of course if the work is online:
So a complete reference IMO would be something like:
Talmud Bavli, Bava Batra 91a, The William Davidson digital edition of the Koren Noé Talmud, Sefaria.org
The particular problems I have had are distinguishing between the title of the text ("Babylonian Talmud, Bava Batra") and the title of the edition ("William Davidson Digital Edition"), as well as using the name of a volume ("Bava Batra") rather than a number ("7"). Any suggestions as to how I can best accommodate this within (e.g.) Wikipeda's template:Cite book would be appreciated. Joe in Australia ( talk) 06:02, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
I'm currently working on a draft ( Draft:Steklyannaya Garmonika (Film) - Wikipedia) because I believed there was no page existing for the movie. If you type the name of the movie in Wikipedia it says the page does not exist. Somehow, I came across this: Glass Harmonica (cartoon) - Wikipedia which has a "current" and a "stable" version, whatever that means. Trying to search for this specific page yields nothing, but the page doesn't say that it is a draft too. What is this page, and does its existence change anything about my plans for my own draft?

In reading
History of the Philippines, I noticed lots and lots of places where it seemed to me to need copyediting. I decided to do that. However, when I began editing, I noticed a line near the top of the editing page that said, "{{
Use Philippine English|date=January 2023}}
." This led me to stop editing, abandon any changes I had made, and come here for clarification.
I understand there are allowances for British vs. American English, but what about Philippines English? Is that even a thing? Although I live in the Phils, I am not ethnically a Filipino. I know well that English as used orally by Filipinos is different from how Americans use it, but does that legitimize it for use on Wikipedia? If it does, I will just keep my white nose out of it. If not, I will proceed as I began.
I have a second, related question. If I am making lots of small edits, maybe even a couple hundred, do I a) enter and save them together as one very long edit, b) make each a separate edit, or c) somewhere in between the two?

Granted, it's got a {{ citation needed}} template at the end, so take it with a grain of salt. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 12:56, 20 September 2023 (UTC)Philippine English traditionally follows American English spelling and grammar while it shares some similarity to Commonwealth English. Philippine English follows the latter when it comes to punctuation as well as date notations. For example, a comma almost never precedes the final item in an enumeration (much like the AP Stylebook and other style guides in English-language journalism generally).

Hello Wiki friends,
My name is Amin. Yesterday I received a message from a Wiki administrator, claiming that I had uploaded a photo to Wikipedia “primarily for the purpose of insulting, demeaning, or defaming a person..”.. The administrator deleted the photo without giving me a opportunity to discuss it.
The administrator deleted the photo based on his assumptions that were incorrect. I had uploaded that photo with the full permission of my friend, and it was intended to inform, and not to insult or defame anyone. My friend who was in the picture and I both had a laugh about it. By now you must be curious about the photo. As it has been deleted by the administrator, you can still see a screenshot here, on a tweet that happened to go a bit viral, and my reply-tweet here.
I feel the administrator was wrong to delete the photo without any discussion. I would like to restore it. What would be my next step to do that? I welcome any help.
And if the administrator was right to delete it, I could accept that too. But I’d like to understand his arguments better. Because right now I feel they’re based on false assumptions and accusations. Small things like this slowly suck the fun out of reading and editing Wikipedia.

Hello!
While I know the process for removing templates like AfD are usually talk page discussions, or removing maintenance templates tends to be a best judgement - what is the process for removing more intense templates like Undisclosed Paid?
An example: I'd like to fix any of the issues with the Cloud Native Computing Foundation article, since it has had an Undisclosed Paid template since 2020. I'm not affiliated with CNCF nor have I ever contributed to CNCF's projects but I think open source work is important (and so is having accurate, unbiased Wiki articles). However, if I do spend time contributing to cleaning up the article and making sure it is more NPOV do I need to open discussion on the talk page for the Undisclosed Paid template to be removed?
No worries if there isn't concrete guidelines on this sort of thing. Just genuinely curious. Thanks! Lightcrowd ( talk) 01:59, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Good day, all! (This question is not about editing existing pages, and I don't seek to create a new one; I'm just looking for ideas. If the Teahouse is the wrong place for this, could someone point me in the right direction?)
I'm an avid wiki lurker, and so is one of my close friends, who I want to create a birthday card for. The card in itself would be a printed header and introduction of a Wikipedia-style page about the person.
Naturally, they don't qualify for a page, and I'm not interested in publishing one for them. Instead, I want to create an authentic-looking page with the Wikipedia visual editor. I was considering making one in my sandbox, but I obviously would rather refrain from posting their information on the internet. I've also tried hosting my own MediaWiki server, but configuring it to use Wikipedia templates and image hosting has proved a bit beyond my ability.

Hello all, I am a paid student worker at Rice University, and I've been tasked with creating Wikipedia pages, one for each member of the Rice Chemistry faculty.
I am brand new to Wiki stuff, and in the last few hours of researching what is and is not allowed on Wiki, I've come across different pages on notability and Conflict of Interest. I am seeking clarification on these issues.
1) Does being a world-class chemistry department qualify each member to have a bio on Wiki? Or does this fail to meet notability criteria?
2) I am a paid student worker creating these pages for the purpose of making the involved scholars more noticeable and searchable on the internet. Would these articles be considered promotion by a business and be disallowed thereby? Also, would articles such as these fail to be accepted because I am a paid worker for this department and a student at this school, having therefore several conflicts of interest?

Hello , I am so in over my head here. I got annoyed that something were missing on a categories page and discovered that to add something I had to add a page to refer to. So I decided to do that (create a new page) by copying code from an existing page and and edit that by inserting and replacing with my own text instead (editing existing code using my own text usually works for me here). I think that my 'creation' is sort of OK - ugly with a lot of warts of course - but I simply can not find out how to get the text of the demanded reference links to display left of links !
I am trying this format :
ref name="My text">url= https://mylink.org/about</ref
(I removed the starting < and ending > to make code show here )(could not find out either how to place code here and both be visible and at same time not have it parsed)
But "My text" simply does not show in reference section next to "mylink" (which do show !) instead it shows
url=Mylink.org/about
I can easily get the text to display by just filling in :
<! My text : https://mylink.org/about >
(with out the starting <! and ending >)
But then it doesn't show as being part of the reference list How do I get the text to show in the reference section next to the link ? The help pages is of absolutely no help at all (I will not list all help pages not of help here !) TeslaTruck ( talk) 12:52, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
<ref name="myref">[https://mylink.org/about My text]</ref>

[1] The name="myref"
part gives the reference an identifier so it can be re-used again later in the page and is not visible on the page itself. You might consider using the
Visual Editor, though, which gives you the ability to format references without using code. –

@ Chiselinccc: With enough reviewers patrolling new pages, articles like this would be put back into draft space more efficiently, but there's a huge backlog now.
We do want to encourage bold edits, and give people the opportunity to learn from mistakes. In this case Rajmama is editing in good faith but needs to work harder to avoid creating needless work for others to clean up. With regard to that particular draft, I have concerns about the comment left by one reviewer on the talk page, about the sources being sponsored. Those would need to be eliminated. The subject likely passes notability criteria for inclusion, but not with sponsored sources.
New editors who aren't yet confirmed are required to go through AFC to create anything, but once you have 4 days and 10 edits under your belt, anything goes. I think the autoconfirmed status is too low of a bar to allow article creation directly in article space (or moving to article space from draft space). Raising that bar would require community discussion, probably at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy). ~ Anachronist ( talk) 15:59, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

This is not "because it has ties to" a previously deleted article, but because it is substantially the same as that deleted article, and also because it does not appear to address the fundamental, inescapable reason for the first deletion: that sources did not exist to establish that Kwong meets Wikipedia's criteria for notability.

Hi everyone! I was excited to work on an entry, adding what I thought was significant, useful information, but the work I did reverted. There are a couple possible reasons, but...now what? I don't want to spend a lot of time trying to approach this in different ways, guessing about how I can improve enough to be kept live. Is there a person I can talk to who is reverting the stuff, so I can know how to change it so that it will be included? Thanks! Beverly East ( talk) 01:11, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
Hello,
I need a little help. So I would like someone to tell me which of the websites listed below can be considered good sources. To add content to movie articles.

An acquaintance has a Wikipedia article that was written about him. He would like for his website's URL to link directly to the Wikipedia article. Is that permitted? He asked me for advice. I found documentation which says that it is, but what I found was someone's essay and not an official policy. Guidance would be appreciated. Thank you. – Kekki1978 ( talk ✉ | contribs ✎) 10:53, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
the URL will link directlysuch a link implies he is using Wikipedia to host his own website, which is not permitted. If he simply includes a link to Wikipedia on his website, that is fine. What is the name of the article? Shantavira| feed me 11:09, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
Thank you all for your responses. My acquaintance does not want Wikipedia to host his own website. He has a website hosted elsewhere and, quoting above, "wants to redirect his own website address to a Wikipedia page, so that typing www.examplepersondomain.com in a browser will instead take you to" [ [ Wikipedia page ] ]. I will let them know that such a thing is permitted. That is a good point that the Wikipedia's article's contents may change at any time. I will bring that risk to their attention. Thank you all for fielding the question. – Kekki1978 ( talk ✉ | contribs ✎) 12:10, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
I meant declined, not rejected.
The declined draft is Draft:Krew (Youtube group).
The reason given was:
"This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources."
I do not know if they mean I don't have enough sources to prove notability, if there is information that needs to be sourced but isn't, if some of my sources aren't reliable, or something else. The phrasing is a bit ambiguous to me.
Also, the link given before is for the current version. I added a few new sources in a "Further Reading" section, made a few small edits, and added another reference. EDIT: moved one of the sources out of the "Further reading" section to use as an actual refference.
If this was a case of not having enough references to prove notability, this may have fixed the issue, but not for the other cases.
Noticed another draft, not mine, had the following in addition to what I had on my draft:
"This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia."
Now I can tell this isn't a notability issue, but I still don't know if they mean I have unsourced information, or if some of my sources are unreliable, or both. AKFkrewfamKF1 ( talk) edited 18:01, 21 September 2023 (UTC) edited 01:09, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi, need advice on using a photo that the owner says is open for use, but I don't feel right saying it is mine, that I own it. It is of Timothy Snyder and Olena Zalenska> and it was posted on the website for the Yalta European Strategy Conference. I could not figure out the instructions for uploading it so some other place on Wikipedia or elsewhere, but do know how to upload it from my own environment to Wikipedia, if I say I "own" it, which I do not, but I have permission. Please advise. https://yes-ukraine.org/en/photo-and-video/video/yes-war-room-maybutnye-virishuyetsya-v-ukrayini-den-2/ztsilyuyemo-ukrayinu-reabilitatsiya-ta-psihichne-zdorovya-olena-zelenska-timoti-snayder ALSO: I believe this proposed text meets the exceptional standards for allowing an X "tweet" as an external link.

Hello Teahouse,
I was wondering how you set up a redirect link when providing an edit summary. If there's some kind of command that lets you click on the link or something. TheAlienMan2002 ( talk) 14:19, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi TheAlienMan2002, do you mean a redirect? Those summaries are provided automatically. Alextejthompson (Ping me or leave a message on my talk page) 17:10, 21 September 2023 (UTC) ]
Hi TheAlienMan2002, also a bit confused, but if you mean adding a wikilink to your edit summary, so that a term in your summary can be clicked when viewing your edit summary in the history of the page, yes, you can do that. With rare exceptions, you do that the same way as you do when adding a wikilink to an article, that is, you enclose it in double brackets (optionally, piping the link as well). If you look at the edit history of this page, and find my edit summary (look for the phrase, "how to wikilink a term in the edit summary") you will see an example of it in use.

I had proposed this article for deletion a few days ago and the creator dePRODed it without discussion on the project's talk page or on the creator's talk page. What do I do? Excellenc1 ( talk) 20:01, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
I'll add the 'Expand French' and 'More citations needed' templates to the article, given the scope of the article in French Wikipedia. Thank you! Excellenc1 ( talk) 03:17, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
Hello! This is a bit of an odd/niche request (and I also hope it doesn't sound creepy??) but sometimes someone will respond me on a talk page and I feel I have seen their username before, and there's an odd "have I talked to this person before?" especially if they are very kind to me and I feel endeared. Is there anyway to see past interactions between two editors? -- NotCharizard 🗨 05:08, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
Hi there, got a question about logical quotation, specifically about when to put a period before an end quotation mark instead of after. I understand it happens when A) there is a period in the original quote and B) when the quote is a complete sentence. However, I'm seeing a hodge-podge of periods being before and after the end quotation mark specifically in quotations that start mid-sentence. Is the complete sentence piece the deciding factor, or is it ok to do it with incomplete sentences because there is, obviously, a period at the end of the sentence in the original quote? It seems like complete sentence is the deciding factor, but want to make sure before I do any more editing. Thanks! Pac12dan ( talk) 05:24, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
I wanted to link to an external page and did that at first with the following source:
But this is rendered in a strange way with square brackets enclosing a meaningless number. It links to the right page, but looks weird. How do I avoid this?

This film is releasing on 28 September 2023.filming is completed" had some relevance to Wikipedia: it doesn't. An article is moved to Draft space because the mover believes that it is not at present suitable for the main encyclopaedia, but could be made so. This has nothing to do with dates, but about the quality of the sources, or the writing (or both) in the draft. ColinFine ( talk) 11:37, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
I had to move my draft Draft:The Glass Harmonica (film) and re-title the infobox in it. The title of the infobox is now in red letters and says "template" on it, which it didn't do before. Is this something I need to fix or will it resolve itself when the page is no longer a draft? Thanks! Welcome back bro ( talk) 12:43, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

12:59, 22 September 2023 (UTC)Hello, Teahouse hosts (even though I apparently listed myself as one)…
I was working with
WP:JWB and found out that when I fixed curly quotes it was extending its reach into the references. Are curly quotes generally allowed in references because they must be titled/styled "as-is" or does
MOS:CURLY generally extend into references? Thanks.
Postscript: for example, JWB was attempting to fix a curly apostrophe within a reference and I just allowed it to pass (see
Special:Diff/1176502468). —

There are some articles, like this one or this one where its obvious the article was created by the company as an advertisement. I’m not saying we should delete them, because knowledge is knowledge, and I’ve done by best to make them un bias, but I think that there might just be another IP address coming in and saying that they’re the best in the world. On some pages, I’ve seen edit restrictions for only admins or only accounts. How can I do this or ask for this to be done? Janlopi ( talk) 17:37, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

I'm new here and getting the hang of things. If I were to create an article on a living person in a certain field I'm knowledgeable about, such as content marketing or holistic health, how popular should they be? What I mean is that if I can't find articles for reputable newspapers or journals on their work, are they still considered notable if their contributions to their community are recognized on other platforms? I'm trying to learn how to do research and not start writing on a topic that has no viable chances of being published here. Introvertedwriter1995 ( talk) 12:29, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
Can you direct me to specific criteria for notability.
I particular, I'd like to contest a rating of "not notable" with an article I submitted about a Lord-Lieutenant. This is a national position, appointed by HM The King (UK). Can you suggest why this would not meet notability criteria, as it has in the past? LWSimpson ( talk) 12:33, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
suggest why this would not meet notability criteria, as it has in the past: if the person has been appointed that recently, there simply might not be enough material published about him yet - simply a matter of WP:TOOSOON. Even if there are announcements of the appointment, if none of them contain any substantial biographical information, then there are not the sources to establish notability in Wikipedia's sense.

I uploaded two photos for my draft Draft:The Glass Harmonica (film) which are screenshots of the film itself. As far as I can tell, they are not protected by fair use, and there are steps I need to take to ensure they are allowed. I recently got a message saying "This media file is a derivative work incorporating another work or works. While the source of this file has been identified, essential source and copyright information for all work incorporated in this file is missing. The author and source of all incorporated works must be given so that the copyright status can be verified. Edit the file description page to add source information" for each of the photos. What specifically do I need to do and where and how do I do it? Thank you! Welcome back bro ( talk) 12:55, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi Teahouse Hosts, I am currently drafting a page on Shot Peen Forming and want to include references to published articles from a journal. The articles are freely available for downloads as pdfs but I'm not sure whether this makes it ok to upload them to Wikipedia / Wiki Commons. My alternative is to just give links to the relevant articles in the journal. However, this only gives very brief info - not really enough to function as a reference in terms of content. Would appreciate advice on how to proceed. CSK45Kays ( talk) 11:55, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
