Does the "views on articles you've edited" number for editors show the number of views from all contributions made on this account, or only recent contributions (i,e,, edits made in the last 60 days)?
For some reason, the "number of views on articles you've edited" shown on my homepage (in the "Your impact" box for my account) has DECREASED overnight by almost 100,000 views. I was wondering if I could get more information on why this happened, and what this number (on the homepage) actually refers to — does it show the TOTAL number of views from ALL edits made (since your FIRST edit), or just the number of views from your RECENT activity (i.e., edits you've made in the last 60 days)? How could I see the "most viewed" articles since my first edit, as opposed to just the last 60 days? Finally, what does the term "since" mean in this context, specifically for the phrase — "Most viewed (since your edit)" — used immediately before the list of articles (at the bottom of the "Your impact" box)?
I hope my question(s) make sense — I am so sorry for any confusion or misunderstanding on my part.
Thank you so much for your time and help!!

I just completed a GA review for Newburgh, Dutchess and Connecticut Railroad. As someone who formerly worked in the railroad industry, I found some things misleading or untrue. I tried to get those things corrected, and much of the problem was fixed. In the end, I made two changes in order to clarify and end the misleading statements—because the author would not. I believed those were necessary in order to pass the article. After the article passed and received its GA notification, the author changed my two changes back to the misleading statements. This seems unethical to me. Am I pressing too much for a GA review? Is it OK if a GA Wikipedia article has misleading statements? I doubt that I will ever review a railroad article again, and I don't want to get in an edit–war with someone who has made so many contributions to Wikipedia.

@ TwoScars: Thanks for doing a GA review! There's an ongoing struggle to get the backlog down. I'll try to answer some of your questions below:
Is it OK if a GA Wikipedia article has misleading statements?Every article will have misleading statements at some point, so it's not a massive problem. I would drop a message on the user's talk page to engage them. If they understand the problem they may revert on their own, or try another wording.
If they do not seem catastrophic, then I will back off.Not to me at least. I would say that the wording with "original" twice in one long sentence could even be unintentionally misleading because it's so difficult to follow.
It just seemed unethical to change something, that was critical to the article becoming GA, back to the unsatisfactory version after the GA rating was received.Again, I'd drop a message on the nominator's talk page. They might not be devious, just mistaken.
And finally, I hope this doesn't come off too prescriptive, but I want to invite you to look at the process from another angle. If we're here to build an encyclopedia, then the goal of assessment projects are to guide our progress and provide a structured way to improve Wikipedia's articles. Compare the article to its state before your review [1] or even before the nominator began working towards a GA review [2] and you'll see a clear improvement to sourcing and factual accuracy.

Hi! I'm improving a template (which I use to create info-boxes) for a Wikipedia Project in the Incubator. I would like to add optional rows and an interactive map to template.

I found this article of a Hawaii intermediate school, which was deleted Special:diff/914522376 a few years ago] (and changed to a redirect) citing " WP:A7", a guideline that articles "not of importance" should be deleted. However, the "A7 guidelines" explicitly say that it doesn't apply to schools. So why was this article deleted? Hawaii high schools have pages on Wikipedia, so are intermediates not important? Is there some sort of other notability guideline of note? It should also be noted that the page currently redirects to a list of Hawaii middle schools.
Theadventurer64 ( talk) 21:46, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
Most elementary (primary) and middle schools that don't source a clear claim to notability usually get merged or redirected to the school district authority that operates them (generally the case in North America) or the lowest level locality (elsewhere or where there is no governing body).

Is Wikipedia:Revert only when necessary actually followed? I am a new Wikipedia editor trying to make my first edit on Marvel Snap and I took a lot of time detailing a new section of the page with sources and it was reverted with the note: "Usage of unreliable sources, overly detailed and inappropriate tone". I accepted that feedback and took the time to revise my sources, cut back on the details, and changed my tone just to have it reverted once again by the same user with no note this time. This is making Wikipedia editing an unpleasant experience and makes me want to just give up even volunteering my time to edits. Note that I did reach out to the user on their talk page. After reading their talk page, it looks like I am not the only one experiencing reverts from this user and they don't always reply so I am not hopeful this route will come to a resolution.

Hi Teahouse! I've written a few articles recently, and I'm interested to know if there's any general wisdom on getting articles reviewed through page curation. Most of my articles get reviewed within a couple of hours, but two of them ( Century Crack and Bristol Old Vic silver tickets) have been sitting in the queue for a few weeks. It's not a big deal, I know the queue is thousands of articles long, but I'm wondering for future reference why some articles are reviewed very quickly and some take a lot longer, and if there's anything I can do to make the process easier for would-be reviewers of my articles. (The main reason I'm wondering is because I know search engines don't index unreviewed articles, and these articles have been the focus of news events where people might have been searching for them.)
For both of these I created them in draft or userspace then moved them into mainspace, could that have affected the review process?

I made a fairly large edit to a Wiki page and while I was doing so, was concentrating on making sure I had accurate references and didn't think to create an account to claim the edits I made. However, after I hit publish, I realized my edit was substantial and was pleased with my addition to the article, and I hadn't made it under any account. I immediately created a wiki user account in order to be able to do so in the future, but want to know if there is any way I can retroactively claim an edit I made? I hit submit, and then realized right away afterwards my folly, so immediately made an account- so the edit I made will be attached to the same IP as the IP matched to my account (unsure if this is helpful or not but thought I'd include for thoroughness). If there is anyway to do so, I would greatly appreciate being able to claim my edits, especially as I can be forgetful sometimes and may forget to login in the future while doing minor edits or while tired so this will be useful forever!

I have been monitoring an article Abhishek Malhan which was being developed mainly by an user User:Columbidae5. Till this revision ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Abhishek_Malhan&oldid=1184439147) everything was fine, i had mentioned issues in the talk page and the user fixed it. What surprised me in this revision ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Abhishek_Malhan&oldid=1184584332) was that the user's vocabulary and choice of words became very "professional","unnatural" and were against WP:PEACOCK. I suspected that the the new content added was AI generated. I didn't raise the issue with the user and removed all the peacock terms from the article.
I wanted to know how to effectively recognise AI generated content?

Where should I ask for protection on an article? The Calgary and Edmonton articles should probably have some sort of protection. It is surprising to me that articles with as many views are unprotected and open to editing by IP addresses, especially with both being considered vital articles (level 4 for Calgary, and level 5 for Edmonton). Edmonton in particular seems to have quite a bit of vandalism by IP users to the point that it was protected from September 25-30 for persistent vandalism. Not even 2 weeks later after the protection expired, these IP users started their vandalism again. Calgary doesn't seem to have the same level of vandalism, but enough I feel to warrant protection.

The scientific name (genus, species) of an animal should be in italics. I saw in a citation, it was not italics. I went to the source of the citation & saw it correctly had italics for the scientific name. So I changed it to italics. Did this for 2 citations. Found a 3rd citation that had the same error. Went to the source & found it incorrectly did NOT have the scientific name in italics. The quandary for me is, should I leave the Wiki citation as non-italics to match the incorrect source document, OR should I change it to italics?
Sunandshade ( talk) 19:31, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
Generally preserve bold and italics (see § Italics), but most other styling should be altered. Underlining, spac ing within words, colors, ALL CAPS, small caps, etc. should generally be normalized to plain text. If it clearly indicates emphasis, use italic emphasis ({{ em}}) or, in an already-italic passage, boldface (with {{ strong}}). For titles of books, articles, poems, and so forth, use italics or quotation marks following the guidance for titles. Italics can also be added to mark up non-English terms (with the {{ lang}} template), for an organism's scientific name, and to indicate a words-as-words usage.

After successfully creating an article for the first time just under a week ago, I have decided to move on to another article. Since the first page was related to a group of youtubers, I decided to do another youtuber, and eventually decided on Aphmau. But, before creating a draft (which I haven't done yet) I decided to find some sources. So, like the last time, I decided to go to Google and look for articles. The problem is that YouTubers get alot of junk articles written about them. "Best Youtubers", "This YouTuber released some merch" stuff like that, or articles from unreliable sources. I experienced this with the pervious article, but since Aphmau is way more popular than the subject of my last article (18 mil compared to 10 mil subscribers), I'm finding it even harder to find any reliable, independent articles with significant coverage of the source through all this junk. It took a very long time of sifting through many pages of google, using multiple different search terms to find what I needed last time, and I don't have the time to spend twice as long this time. So I wanted to ask if there is a better way.

I noticed recent subtle POV pushing edits in that article. One of them is phrasing the 1967 war or Naksa as something as "conquering" Gaza. [7] But can we also call the USA as conquering Iraq despite its illegal controversial nature? I don't think the word, "conquering" Gaza strip is appropriate given its controversial illegality. It's not like the international community today regards palestine Gaza strip to be legally absorbed into israel without dispute. However am also aware the topic attracts those who strongly pick a side and I don't wish to argue with persistent editors, but was I right to suggest that "conquering" is an inappropriate word to call what is deemed an illegal war? [8] Yet when I try to mention that it should be reworded in a more balanced manner and not use puffery, my suggestion to improve the article was reverted by an editor, persistent on that page, who says I am using that Talk as a forum and breaking some arbitration rules. So what is my best course of action here to address this if I can't even discuss it on the article's talk page? 49.186.236.32 ( talk) 18:01, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

I've just added a "More citations needed" template to Richard Morrison (film titles designer), the first time I've added a template like that, as I suspect he's one of many people I've stumbled across on IMDB over the years, who adds all their own credits, whether they're credited on-screen on not.
He might be credited in all 249 productions on his profile, but I doubt it.
I noticed his Wikipedia article when I was searching to see whether he worked for the titles company listed directly below him, and it seems like he did, as there's roughly 10 more films where him and that company are credited together.
The only reference on the article is an interview with him from 2008.
While reading the template I noticed it has been added to 368,000 articles, not to mention the similar templates which have also been added to articles, and wondered if there's a place where those 368,000+ articles are listed once the template has been added.

The option to provide a warning if the edit summary is blank (to the extent editors choose this option) has the desirable feature of encouraging editors to describe the change. I suggest that it should apply even when doing a section edit, i.e. if you're editing a section and you fail to add text beyond the name of the section that's included by default, you should still get a warning.
IMO, a good edit summary is a matter of courtesy to the rest of the editor community. Where should I be posting this proposal? Fabrickator ( talk) 14:26, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi! Brand new here and the coding is literally like a different language to me. I'm currently writing my postgrad thesis about an Irish musical, and when I went to look it up, it's not here. References are made to it in a couple of places, but not an article in its own right, which I think it should be. But finding the process so confusing.

Newbie here. I've asked a few questions in Teahouse & have had useful replies. I have made replies on those replies. But now, I can't figure out how do make a reply to a Teahouse topic. Isn't there a "reply" button or something? Maybe I'm missing it, or maybe I got in some weird mode where it doesn't show. My username shows at the top so I assume I'm logged in. I did log into using my cell phone for the 1st time & hope that didn't change things. I then logged out on my cell phone but that didn't seem to help. Frustrated I did it yesterday but today it escapes me. I would appreciate any answers, but remember, if you are not completely clear, then I can't ask follow up questions until I get this resolved.

Hello, I am new on creating articles and I suggested the creation of one for "cybersecurity" and got rejected. The reason was that it already exists under another article: "Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Computer security instead."
The article I suggested explains that difference between computer security and cybersecurity, you can see the draft here: /info/en/?search=Draft:Cybersecurity

Hi, and 'Help!' - For 9 years we have run a succesful Educational Project for students at LIUC, Italy.

I'm working on Jared Sidney Torrance's article which has very few citations. It lists his DOB as August 3, 1853 with no citation. I've found some sources for 1853 and others for 1852. A monument erected by the Torrance Historical Society Museum states 1852 - 1921 but his tombstone says 1853. Since there are reputable sources for both dates, what would be the best way to indicate this? Any biographical articles with similarly differing DOBs I could refer to and copy the format?

For the page for Prolagus, when I use the visual editor, the references are different from the original page. Or maybe they are in a different order, it's hard to tell. If you take a look, in the original page, the 1st Reference starts with Ge. When editing it starts with Hoffman. Why is this? I tried editing in source mode & it's hard for me to read, but I think in this case, the References are the same as the original page. Sunandshade ( talk) 10:45, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

I've added all the credited cast to Yanks.
First the "main" cast are listed, then the "American" cast are listed, and then the "British" cast are listed.
So I'm trying to separate them into columns side by side, or if that looks weird, then on top of each other, as right now 2 of the American cast appear just above the British cast.
I've just attempted to separate them by copying the info on the column which was already there, to make 3 columns, however you couldn't really tell where the columns ended and started on the right hand side. Danstarr69 ( talk) 03:03, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
Hey Wikipedians--- wanted to reach out and share an experience I recently had while working on the Jasper AI Wikipedia page. I'm seeking guidance and insights on how to navigate this situation
Some time ago I dedicated an amount of time and effort to create a Wikipedia page, for
Jasper AI. Throughout the process my focus was on adhering to Wikipedias citation standards and ensuring the subjects notability. (
See my talk page)
Initially my submission was moved to the draft space due to concerns about citations despite my efforts in citing sources. However an administrator later approved the article moving it into the space. (The editor who flagged it initally has changed their reasoning a few times. (No disrespect to them)
Recently the same editor who initially moved the article to draft space has raised concerns regarding its notability. Flagged it for deletion. This was a bit disheartening for me since I invested time and effort into acquiring citations and creating a page that I believed met all the necessary guidelines.
My main concern lies in the inconsistency of the process. Feeling a bit perplexed, and disheartened. While I fully understand and respect Wikipedias commitment to maintaining standards I am seeking clarity, on how best to ensure that my work aligns with these standards without feeling like its a shifting goalpost.
I know I am a noob, but what perplexes me is that by the interpretation of the editors view on WP guidelines, a great portion of pages should be deleted. I want to help and add value here.
I am hoping to receiving feedback. I am willing to make any necessary changes to the Jasper AI page. My intention is to contribute to the Wikipedia community so any advice or assistance, in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Please forgive me if I am an idiot for doing things wrong, I really want to help and I understand spending time contributing doesnt matter If I am making mistakes.
**PS, I figured established pages would be a good reference for creating pages, but it seems that even established pages aren't great sources**

In this page: Defensive programming In this paragraph:
--
Oracle is combating legacy problems, such as old source code written without addressing concerns of SQL injection and privilege escalation, resulting in many security vulnerabilities which have taken time to fix and also generated incomplete fixes. This has given rise to heavy criticism from security experts such as David Litchfield, Alexander Kornbrust, Cesar Cerrudo. An additional criticism is that default installations (largely a legacy from old versions) are not aligned with their own security recommendations, such as Oracle Database Security Checklist, which is hard to amend as many applications require the less secure legacy settings to function correctly."

The "Oracle Database Security Checklist" link is a 404 not found page. I checked for the page using the Wayback Machine on the Internet Archive, but it apparently wasn't archived because all attempts were unsuccessful at crawl time.
What should be done in this case, and in other similar cases? Should the link be removed, or should it be discussed in the talk page first to find an archived copy?

parameter and #2 under |publisher=
. However, the template documentation says that publisher is not meant to be used for "the name of a work (e.g. a website, book, encyclopedia, newspaper, magazine, journal, etc.)
". Plus you cannot italicize the publisher field. Ideas on how I should work around this? Thanks in advance! --

if you're especially concerned about the original attribution, but the resulting template format looks kinda weird, like "Vancouver Sun. Los Angeles Times." (in my case). You can also always add a lil note after the citation template but before the closing ref

The page move was further conducted even though we were still discussing/ debating @ Talk:Afro house and hadn't reached an agreement/ resolution yet. The same user has also been actively contibuting on a page titled in the same manner Hard NRG since what appears to be 3 years ago https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Talk:Hard_NRG&action=history without raising any of these types of concerns/ actions for that article. Hard NRG is a subgenre from the UK, which is not as popular or trending now, both Afro Tech & Afro house originated in South Africa 'round about the same time and is predominantly spelled in this manner across various sources by the masses all whilst specifically trending and being popularized globally now in their specific genres/fields, which is even more alarming for what's currently taking place.

What should one do about an unbelievably insulting WI editor who blocked (reverted) a number of entries put up in Wikipedia that contributes to the scholarship on various significant writers. The story: I am professor, and I managed to get some of the leading scholars in the world (over thirty of them, many of them endowed professors) to provide original, brand new critical commentary on 35 Romantic-era poets (like Coleridge, Keats, Wordsworth). These were then fashioned into a terrific scholarly website hosted by my university ("Then & Now: Romantic-Era Poets in the Encyclopedia Britannica"). The WI editor ("Billinghurst") reverted all these, saying that it was "vanity" site, saying that these were "boutique" entries, and then said it was "paid editing" (which of course it isn't), and then said I had a "conflict of interest" because I was the editor of the site. He/she then suggested I must be a very bad professor. This is all a little nuts, imo. What is the best route to take? Gkblank ( talk) 00:03, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

So, I want to help new users at the wiki to help how diffrent pages work. I want to make a fictional anime to help some new users to help how those pages work. But I need some sources. Should I use real ones or make them up, but I want to make a made-up anime sandbox to help a new user for an anime page. Is it ok? DorkLore ( talk) 00:25, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
I take an intermediate position on this disagreement. Hypothetically, some fictional anime content could be usefully incorporated into training materials, but given the nature of anime fandom, I have my doubts that a fictional anime theme is the best choice for training materials. Especially since there are countless examples of interesting factual content and real references to reliable sources that can be incorporated into any such training materials. Even more relevant is that DorkLore has only 29 edits as I write this, and their account is less than two weeks old. Although I appreciate and encourage this new editor, it is hard for me to believe that this editor has the experience necessary to develop useful training materials to "help new users" in any genuine way. Would anyone reasonably expect a new violin student who got their first violin less than two weeks ago to be able to develop training materials for other new violinists? Or a new tennis player or a new chess player? Or a new student of calculus? It strains credulity. Cullen328 ( talk) 02:58, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

So we got news that a drummer named Aaron D. Spears died recently, so I decided to check his Wikipedia page (I didn't realize it was an actor's page), and so I saw it didn't show that he died nor his correct birthdate, so I immediately changed it to the correct birthdate, but I was too lazy to write that he was dead, so I left it like that (I was really tired at the time), and then I realized before it was too late and reverted it back.

Hello editors, I am working to update the article on behalf of Jay Sures as part of my work with Executive Writing. I am trying to update the article to note that he is married to Linda Nyvltova and that he has three children. However, the only third-party source I have is The New York Post, which is not considered a reliable source for Wikipedia. Is there any other way I could verify his marriage and children that would allow for his article to include this information?

Hello, my article submission (which is literally just a translation of the German version, which did not have an English equivalent) was rejected because somehow the references were insufficient, even though it's the exact same ones listed in the original German version of the article, which is up without incident. Please advise. Thank you!

hello maintainers. I made a List of ~10000 brocken URLs User:ⵓ/Worklist brocken URLs with Quarry:query/78127 (feel free to fork it)
The SQL query filters not existing top level-domains, all URLs in this List are broken. The Domain in list is in reversed order (el_to_domain_index
)
Most of the cases are easy to fix (i.e remove a white space-character). In some cases I needed a URL-decoder ( meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/). More difficult cases can only be solved with the help of the version history or with the help of web archives and Google search. (i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=2018%E2%80%9319_Ukrainian_First_League&diff=prev&oldid=1185545810 )

articletopic
is a keyword used by Wikimedia's machine learning models (currently in transition from ORES to

Hi, I've just reverted the addition of a photograph of a teacher to the article Dumfries High School. The teacher is named in the article as having falsified exam results. It didn't seem to me that the image added anything to the article and I also thought it might be contrary to WP:BLPPRIVACY, though images are not mentioned in that policy. I'm wondering though about the image of the headteacher which was already in the article. Again, I'm not sure it adds anything for the reader; but thinking about privacy specifically, looking at WP:IMAGEPOL I see that privacy in policy terms is only an issue if the picture was taken in a public place. The image in this case was taken outside a school. Is a school a public or private place as far as this policy is concerned? I checked the essay at WP:WPSCH/AG, but it does not cover images of staff.

Dear Wikipedia Teahouse,
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to seek urgent assistance with a conflict of interest (COI) matter that I am currently facing on Wikipedia.
I have been following the guidance provided, but unfortunately, I am struggling to find the specific process for disclosure. The situation is further complicated as my edits are being revoked without a clear resolution. I believe a lack of disclosure is the root cause, and I am eager to rectify this as soon as possible.
Given the urgency of the matter and my commitment to aligning with Wikipedia's policies, I kindly request your guidance on the COI disclosure process. If there is a specific avenue or protocol that I may have overlooked, your expertise would be invaluable.
The timely resolution of this issue is crucial to ensuring that my contributions comply with Wikipedia's standards. I would appreciate any assistance or clarification you can provide in this regard.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, and I look forward to your guidance.

Could someone with some more experience please let me know what changes I could make to make my draft more neutral sounding? Also, since this is a celebrity tequila brand, the only sources are from magazines and blogs that cover celebrities. However, these are seen as unreliable and I am not really sure what to do. Thanks!

Hello, I am currently drafting my first article about a defunct sand and gravel business which became a significant producer and distributor of construction materials in the North of England from the 1930's to the 1970's. My draft article was declined a few days ago as my references did not show that that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. Completely fair and I have since read a lot of wikipedia policy and guidance pages about the subject, taken advice from a couple of Wikiprojects and revised my references, adding more detailed sources including an in-depth Yorkshire Post article in 1937 and industry reference books from the period. Before I re-submit, I'm looking for a little help to check if others agree that these sources now meet the criteria and gather any further suggestions or advice.
My article is here: Draft:Stephen Toulson & Sons.

If I specify Category:GA-Class_articles as a category in the Search, I get an error "Deep category query returned too many categories" and it doesn't find anything. Whether I specify two categories (Glucocorticoids AND GA-Class_articles) or just one category (GA-Class_articles) I get the same error "Deep category query returned too many categories". Only the non-GA category like Glucocorticoids works as a search category.
Please suggest a tool or instructions on how to search by category among GA articles to get the list of all GA articles that fit particular category?

Are there any parameters in "cite book", etc. that allow one to note when the source material is a non-English translation of another foreign language? For example, I recently created this article: one of its sources is in Spanish. However, its original language is actually German or Polish. In case anybody was wondering, this particular source has never been translated into English, although small portions of it have appeared quoted in a number of publications. (Also, although I'm a proficient German reader and can sort of make out Polish because of my knowledge of Russian and passing acquaintance of other Slavic languages, Spanish is my mother tongue, which is why I chose to use this translation. Anyway, I don't have the original language source available, whereas the Spanish translation is in my personal collection.) As always your help is very appreciated.

It gives me the following: drug-eluting stent – Artery of the coronary circulation which transports blood into and out of the cardiac muscle
However, the description is wrong, it took "Artery of the coronary circulation which transports blood into and out of the cardiac muscle" from another wikidata item, it should have taken the description "a medical stent that releases drug that inhibits cellular growth into the stented area".
When you go to drug-eluting stent and then click a link to wikidata item, you will get to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3973120 that does not have this description. Why it did not take description from correct wikidata item?

Could you please help me with this issue? I have a ph.D. and I am used to very strict, clear and transparent rules for sources reliability. Here, I feel left in the dark.

An article about a relatively small German art exhibition has a large section filled with tables detailing the exhibitions finances? And another section detailing the names of every administration person involved. This seems like excess detail that isn't covered in an independent/secondary source.
Can any editors take a look? I'm not actually sure what guideline to cite when removing. Zenomonoz ( talk) 07:22, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
a relatively small German art exhibition, or is that your own personal interpretation? The amount of detail to be included in an article about a "small" topic is not objectively quantifiable. All that detail needs to be verified, neutral and not undue. What is or is not undue is decided by policy-based discussions on the talk page of the relevant article, which is Talk: Freie Berliner Kunstausstellung. That is the first and best place to discuss the content dispute. Please start there. Cullen328 ( talk) 07:37, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
Given the dispute between the two editors (cf. AIV: Zenomonoz reported by Andrea014) my very strong advice to Zenomonoz is that they should walk away from the Freie Berliner Kunstausstellung article (and any other work done by Andrea014), because their criticism of such work looks like bad faith. If there is an issue with the tables in that article, some uninvolved editor will, sometime, come across them and deal with them. -- Tagishsimon ( talk) 13:25, 21 November 2023 (UTC)

For some reason, the "number of views on articles you've edited" shown on my homepage (in the "Your impact" box for my account) has DECREASED overnight by almost 100,000 views. I was wondering if I could get more information on why this happened, and what this number (on the homepage) actually refers to — does it show the TOTAL number of views from ALL edits made (since your FIRST edit), or just the number of views from your RECENT activity (i.e., edits you've made in the last 60 days)? How could I see the "most viewed" articles since my first edit, as opposed to just the last 60 days? Finally, what does the term "since" mean in this context, specifically for the phrase — "Most viewed (since your edit)" — used immediately before the list of articles (at the bottom of the "Your impact" box)?
I hope my question(s) make sense — I am so sorry for any confusion or misunderstanding on my part.
Thank you so much for your time and help!!

I just completed a GA review for Newburgh, Dutchess and Connecticut Railroad. As someone who formerly worked in the railroad industry, I found some things misleading or untrue. I tried to get those things corrected, and much of the problem was fixed. In the end, I made two changes in order to clarify and end the misleading statements—because the author would not. I believed those were necessary in order to pass the article. After the article passed and received its GA notification, the author changed my two changes back to the misleading statements. This seems unethical to me. Am I pressing too much for a GA review? Is it OK if a GA Wikipedia article has misleading statements? I doubt that I will ever review a railroad article again, and I don't want to get in an edit–war with someone who has made so many contributions to Wikipedia.

@ TwoScars: Thanks for doing a GA review! There's an ongoing struggle to get the backlog down. I'll try to answer some of your questions below:
Is it OK if a GA Wikipedia article has misleading statements?Every article will have misleading statements at some point, so it's not a massive problem. I would drop a message on the user's talk page to engage them. If they understand the problem they may revert on their own, or try another wording.
If they do not seem catastrophic, then I will back off.Not to me at least. I would say that the wording with "original" twice in one long sentence could even be unintentionally misleading because it's so difficult to follow.
It just seemed unethical to change something, that was critical to the article becoming GA, back to the unsatisfactory version after the GA rating was received.Again, I'd drop a message on the nominator's talk page. They might not be devious, just mistaken.
And finally, I hope this doesn't come off too prescriptive, but I want to invite you to look at the process from another angle. If we're here to build an encyclopedia, then the goal of assessment projects are to guide our progress and provide a structured way to improve Wikipedia's articles. Compare the article to its state before your review [1] or even before the nominator began working towards a GA review [2] and you'll see a clear improvement to sourcing and factual accuracy.

I found this article of a Hawaii intermediate school, which was deleted Special:diff/914522376 a few years ago] (and changed to a redirect) citing " WP:A7", a guideline that articles "not of importance" should be deleted. However, the "A7 guidelines" explicitly say that it doesn't apply to schools. So why was this article deleted? Hawaii high schools have pages on Wikipedia, so are intermediates not important? Is there some sort of other notability guideline of note? It should also be noted that the page currently redirects to a list of Hawaii middle schools.

Most elementary (primary) and middle schools that don't source a clear claim to notability usually get merged or redirected to the school district authority that operates them (generally the case in North America) or the lowest level locality (elsewhere or where there is no governing body).

Is Wikipedia:Revert only when necessary actually followed? I am a new Wikipedia editor trying to make my first edit on Marvel Snap and I took a lot of time detailing a new section of the page with sources and it was reverted with the note: "Usage of unreliable sources, overly detailed and inappropriate tone". I accepted that feedback and took the time to revise my sources, cut back on the details, and changed my tone just to have it reverted once again by the same user with no note this time. This is making Wikipedia editing an unpleasant experience and makes me want to just give up even volunteering my time to edits. Note that I did reach out to the user on their talk page. After reading their talk page, it looks like I am not the only one experiencing reverts from this user and they don't always reply so I am not hopeful this route will come to a resolution.

Hi Teahouse! I've written a few articles recently, and I'm interested to know if there's any general wisdom on getting articles reviewed through page curation. Most of my articles get reviewed within a couple of hours, but two of them ( Century Crack and Bristol Old Vic silver tickets) have been sitting in the queue for a few weeks. It's not a big deal, I know the queue is thousands of articles long, but I'm wondering for future reference why some articles are reviewed very quickly and some take a lot longer, and if there's anything I can do to make the process easier for would-be reviewers of my articles. (The main reason I'm wondering is because I know search engines don't index unreviewed articles, and these articles have been the focus of news events where people might have been searching for them.)
For both of these I created them in draft or userspace then moved them into mainspace, could that have affected the review process?

I made a fairly large edit to a Wiki page and while I was doing so, was concentrating on making sure I had accurate references and didn't think to create an account to claim the edits I made. However, after I hit publish, I realized my edit was substantial and was pleased with my addition to the article, and I hadn't made it under any account. I immediately created a wiki user account in order to be able to do so in the future, but want to know if there is any way I can retroactively claim an edit I made? I hit submit, and then realized right away afterwards my folly, so immediately made an account- so the edit I made will be attached to the same IP as the IP matched to my account (unsure if this is helpful or not but thought I'd include for thoroughness). If there is anyway to do so, I would greatly appreciate being able to claim my edits, especially as I can be forgetful sometimes and may forget to login in the future while doing minor edits or while tired so this will be useful forever!

I have been monitoring an article Abhishek Malhan which was being developed mainly by an user User:Columbidae5. Till this revision ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Abhishek_Malhan&oldid=1184439147) everything was fine, i had mentioned issues in the talk page and the user fixed it. What surprised me in this revision ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Abhishek_Malhan&oldid=1184584332) was that the user's vocabulary and choice of words became very "professional","unnatural" and were against WP:PEACOCK. I suspected that the the new content added was AI generated. I didn't raise the issue with the user and removed all the peacock terms from the article.

Where should I ask for protection on an article? The Calgary and Edmonton articles should probably have some sort of protection. It is surprising to me that articles with as many views are unprotected and open to editing by IP addresses, especially with both being considered vital articles (level 4 for Calgary, and level 5 for Edmonton). Edmonton in particular seems to have quite a bit of vandalism by IP users to the point that it was protected from September 25-30 for persistent vandalism. Not even 2 weeks later after the protection expired, these IP users started their vandalism again. Calgary doesn't seem to have the same level of vandalism, but enough I feel to warrant protection.

The scientific name (genus, species) of an animal should be in italics. I saw in a citation, it was not italics. I went to the source of the citation & saw it correctly had italics for the scientific name. So I changed it to italics. Did this for 2 citations. Found a 3rd citation that had the same error. Went to the source & found it incorrectly did NOT have the scientific name in italics. The quandary for me is, should I leave the Wiki citation as non-italics to match the incorrect source document, OR should I change it to italics?
Sunandshade ( talk) 19:31, 12 November 2023 (UTC)
Generally preserve bold and italics (see § Italics), but most other styling should be altered. Underlining, spac ing within words, colors, ALL CAPS, small caps, etc. should generally be normalized to plain text. If it clearly indicates emphasis, use italic emphasis ({{ em}}) or, in an already-italic passage, boldface (with {{ strong}}). For titles of books, articles, poems, and so forth, use italics or quotation marks following the guidance for titles. Italics can also be added to mark up non-English terms (with the {{ lang}} template), for an organism's scientific name, and to indicate a words-as-words usage.

After successfully creating an article for the first time just under a week ago, I have decided to move on to another article. Since the first page was related to a group of youtubers, I decided to do another youtuber, and eventually decided on Aphmau. But, before creating a draft (which I haven't done yet) I decided to find some sources. So, like the last time, I decided to go to Google and look for articles. The problem is that YouTubers get alot of junk articles written about them. "Best Youtubers", "This YouTuber released some merch" stuff like that, or articles from unreliable sources. I experienced this with the pervious article, but since Aphmau is way more popular than the subject of my last article (18 mil compared to 10 mil subscribers), I'm finding it even harder to find any reliable, independent articles with significant coverage of the source through all this junk. It took a very long time of sifting through many pages of google, using multiple different search terms to find what I needed last time, and I don't have the time to spend twice as long this time. So I wanted to ask if there is a better way.

I noticed recent subtle POV pushing edits in that article. One of them is phrasing the 1967 war or Naksa as something as "conquering" Gaza. [7] But can we also call the USA as conquering Iraq despite its illegal controversial nature? I don't think the word, "conquering" Gaza strip is appropriate given its controversial illegality. It's not like the international community today regards palestine Gaza strip to be legally absorbed into israel without dispute. However am also aware the topic attracts those who strongly pick a side and I don't wish to argue with persistent editors, but was I right to suggest that "conquering" is an inappropriate word to call what is deemed an illegal war? [8] Yet when I try to mention that it should be reworded in a more balanced manner and not use puffery, my suggestion to improve the article was reverted by an editor, persistent on that page, who says I am using that Talk as a forum and breaking some arbitration rules.

I've just added a "More citations needed" template to Richard Morrison (film titles designer), the first time I've added a template like that, as I suspect he's one of many people I've stumbled across on IMDB over the years, who adds all their own credits, whether they're credited on-screen on not.
He might be credited in all 249 productions on his profile, but I doubt it.
I noticed his Wikipedia article when I was searching to see whether he worked for the titles company listed directly below him, and it seems like he did, as there's roughly 10 more films where him and that company are credited together.
The only reference on the article is an interview with him from 2008.
While reading the template I noticed it has been added to 368,000 articles, not to mention the similar templates which have also been added to articles, and wondered if there's a place where those 368,000+ articles are listed once the template has been added.

The option to provide a warning if the edit summary is blank (to the extent editors choose this option) has the desirable feature of encouraging editors to describe the change. I suggest that it should apply even when doing a section edit, i.e. if you're editing a section and you fail to add text beyond the name of the section that's included by default, you should still get a warning.
IMO, a good edit summary is a matter of courtesy to the rest of the editor community. Where should I be posting this proposal? Fabrickator ( talk) 14:26, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi! Brand new here and the coding is literally like a different language to me. I'm currently writing my postgrad thesis about an Irish musical, and when I went to look it up, it's not here. References are made to it in a couple of places, but not an article in its own right, which I think it should be. But finding the process so confusing.

Newbie here. I've asked a few questions in Teahouse & have had useful replies. I have made replies on those replies. But now, I can't figure out how do make a reply to a Teahouse topic. Isn't there a "reply" button or something? Maybe I'm missing it, or maybe I got in some weird mode where it doesn't show. My username shows at the top so I assume I'm logged in. I did log into using my cell phone for the 1st time & hope that didn't change things. I then logged out on my cell phone but that didn't seem to help.

Hello, I am new on creating articles and I suggested the creation of one for "cybersecurity" and got rejected. The reason was that it already exists under another article: "Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Computer security instead."
The article I suggested explains that difference between computer security and cybersecurity, you can see the draft here: /info/en/?search=Draft:Cybersecurity

Hi, and 'Help!' - For 9 years we have run a succesful Educational Project for students at LIUC, Italy.

I'm working on Jared Sidney Torrance's article which has very few citations. It lists his DOB as August 3, 1853 with no citation. I've found some sources for 1853 and others for 1852. A monument erected by the Torrance Historical Society Museum states 1852 - 1921 but his tombstone says 1853. Since there are reputable sources for both dates, what would be the best way to indicate this? Any biographical articles with similarly differing DOBs I could refer to and copy the format?

For the page for Prolagus, when I use the visual editor, the references are different from the original page. Or maybe they are in a different order, it's hard to tell. If you take a look, in the original page, the 1st Reference starts with Ge. When editing it starts with Hoffman. Why is this? I tried editing in source mode & it's hard for me to read, but I think in this case, the References are the same as the original page. Sunandshade ( talk) 10:45, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

I've added all the credited cast to Yanks.
First the "main" cast are listed, then the "American" cast are listed, and then the "British" cast are listed.
So I'm trying to separate them into columns side by side, or if that looks weird, then on top of each other, as right now 2 of the American cast appear just above the British cast.
I've just attempted to separate them by copying the info on the column which was already there, to make 3 columns, however you couldn't really tell where the columns ended and started on the right hand side. Danstarr69 ( talk) 03:03, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
Hey Wikipedians--- wanted to reach out and share an experience I recently had while working on the Jasper AI Wikipedia page. I'm seeking guidance and insights on how to navigate this situation
Some time ago I dedicated an amount of time and effort to create a Wikipedia page, for
Jasper AI. Throughout the process my focus was on adhering to Wikipedias citation standards and ensuring the subjects notability. (
See my talk page)
Initially my submission was moved to the draft space due to concerns about citations despite my efforts in citing sources. However an administrator later approved the article moving it into the space. (The editor who flagged it initally has changed their reasoning a few times. (No disrespect to them)
Recently the same editor who initially moved the article to draft space has raised concerns regarding its notability. Flagged it for deletion. This was a bit disheartening for me since I invested time and effort into acquiring citations and creating a page that I believed met all the necessary guidelines.
My main concern lies in the inconsistency of the process. Feeling a bit perplexed, and disheartened. While I fully understand and respect Wikipedias commitment to maintaining standards I am seeking clarity, on how best to ensure that my work aligns with these standards without feeling like its a shifting goalpost.
I know I am a noob, but what perplexes me is that by the interpretation of the editors view on WP guidelines, a great portion of pages should be deleted. I want to help and add value here.
I am hoping to receiving feedback. I am willing to make any necessary changes to the Jasper AI page. My intention is to contribute to the Wikipedia community so any advice or assistance, in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Please forgive me if I am an idiot for doing things wrong, I really want to help and I understand spending time contributing doesnt matter If I am making mistakes.
**PS, I figured established pages would be a good reference for creating pages, but it seems that even established pages aren't great sources**

In this page: Defensive programming In this paragraph:
--
Oracle is combating legacy problems, such as old source code written without addressing concerns of SQL injection and privilege escalation, resulting in many security vulnerabilities which have taken time to fix and also generated incomplete fixes. This has given rise to heavy criticism from security experts such as David Litchfield, Alexander Kornbrust, Cesar Cerrudo. An additional criticism is that default installations (largely a legacy from old versions) are not aligned with their own security recommendations, such as Oracle Database Security Checklist, which is hard to amend as many applications require the less secure legacy settings to function correctly."

The "Oracle Database Security Checklist" link is a 404 not found page. I checked for the page using the Wayback Machine on the Internet Archive, but it apparently wasn't archived because all attempts were unsuccessful at crawl time.

if you're especially concerned about the original attribution, but the resulting template format looks kinda weird, like "Vancouver Sun. Los Angeles Times." (in my case). You can also always add a lil note after the citation template but before the closing ref

The page move was further conducted even though we were still discussing/ debating @ Talk:Afro house and hadn't reached an agreement/ resolution yet. The same user has also been actively contibuting on a page titled in the same manner Hard NRG since what appears to be 3 years ago https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Talk:Hard_NRG&action=history without raising any of these types of concerns/ actions for that article. Hard NRG is a subgenre from the UK, which is not as popular or trending now, both Afro Tech & Afro house originated in South Africa 'round about the same time and is predominantly spelled in this manner across various sources by the masses all whilst specifically trending and being popularized globally now in their specific genres/fields, which is even more alarming for what's currently taking place.

What should one do about an unbelievably insulting WI editor who blocked (reverted) a number of entries put up in Wikipedia that contributes to the scholarship on various significant writers. The story: I am professor, and I managed to get some of the leading scholars in the world (over thirty of them, many of them endowed professors) to provide original, brand new critical commentary on 35 Romantic-era poets (like Coleridge, Keats, Wordsworth). These were then fashioned into a terrific scholarly website hosted by my university ("Then & Now: Romantic-Era Poets in the Encyclopedia Britannica"). The WI editor ("Billinghurst") reverted all these, saying that it was "vanity" site, saying that these were "boutique" entries, and then said it was "paid editing" (which of course it isn't), and then said I had a "conflict of interest" because I was the editor of the site. He/she then suggested I must be a very bad professor. This is all a little nuts, imo. What is the best route to take? Gkblank ( talk) 00:03, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

So, I want to help new users at the wiki to help how diffrent pages work. I want to make a fictional anime to help some new users to help how those pages work. But I need some sources. Should I use real ones or make them up, but I want to make a made-up anime sandbox to help a new user for an anime page. Is it ok? DorkLore ( talk) 00:25, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
I take an intermediate position on this disagreement. Hypothetically, some fictional anime content could be usefully incorporated into training materials, but given the nature of anime fandom, I have my doubts that a fictional anime theme is the best choice for training materials. Especially since there are countless examples of interesting factual content and real references to reliable sources that can be incorporated into any such training materials. Even more relevant is that DorkLore has only 29 edits as I write this, and their account is less than two weeks old. Although I appreciate and encourage this new editor, it is hard for me to believe that this editor has the experience necessary to develop useful training materials to "help new users" in any genuine way. Would anyone reasonably expect a new violin student who got their first violin less than two weeks ago to be able to develop training materials for other new violinists? Or a new tennis player or a new chess player? Or a new student of calculus? It strains credulity. Cullen328 ( talk) 02:58, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

So we got news that a drummer named Aaron D. Spears died recently, so I decided to check his Wikipedia page (I didn't realize it was an actor's page), and so I saw it didn't show that he died nor his correct birthdate, so I immediately changed it to the correct birthdate, but I was too lazy to write that he was dead, so I left it like that (I was really tired at the time), and then I realized before it was too late and reverted it back.

Hello editors, I am working to update the article on behalf of Jay Sures as part of my work with Executive Writing. I am trying to update the article to note that he is married to Linda Nyvltova and that he has three children. However, the only third-party source I have is The New York Post, which is not considered a reliable source for Wikipedia. Is there any other way I could verify his marriage and children that would allow for his article to include this information?

Hello, my article submission (which is literally just a translation of the German version, which did not have an English equivalent) was rejected because somehow the references were insufficient, even though it's the exact same ones listed in the original German version of the article, which is up without incident. Please advise. Thank you!

hello maintainers. I made a List of ~10000 brocken URLs User:ⵓ/Worklist brocken URLs with Quarry:query/78127 (feel free to fork it)
The SQL query filters not existing top level-domains, all URLs in this List are broken. The Domain in list is in reversed order (el_to_domain_index
)
Most of the cases are easy to fix (i.e remove a white space-character). In some cases I needed a URL-decoder ( meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/). More difficult cases can only be solved with the help of the version history or with the help of web archives and Google search. (i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=2018%E2%80%9319_Ukrainian_First_League&diff=prev&oldid=1185545810 )

articletopic
is a keyword used by Wikimedia's machine learning models (currently in transition from ORES to

Hi, I've just reverted the addition of a photograph of a teacher to the article Dumfries High School. The teacher is named in the article as having falsified exam results. It didn't seem to me that the image added anything to the article and I also thought it might be contrary to WP:BLPPRIVACY, though images are not mentioned in that policy. I'm wondering though about the image of the headteacher which was already in the article. Again, I'm not sure it adds anything for the reader; but thinking about privacy specifically, looking at WP:IMAGEPOL I see that privacy in policy terms is only an issue if the picture was taken in a public place. The image in this case was taken outside a school. Is a school a public or private place as far as this policy is concerned? I checked the essay at WP:WPSCH/AG, but it does not cover images of staff.

Dear Wikipedia Teahouse,
I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to seek urgent assistance with a conflict of interest (COI) matter that I am currently facing on Wikipedia.
I have been following the guidance provided, but unfortunately, I am struggling to find the specific process for disclosure. The situation is further complicated as my edits are being revoked without a clear resolution. I believe a lack of disclosure is the root cause, and I am eager to rectify this as soon as possible.
Given the urgency of the matter and my commitment to aligning with Wikipedia's policies, I kindly request your guidance on the COI disclosure process. If there is a specific avenue or protocol that I may have overlooked, your expertise would be invaluable.
The timely resolution of this issue is crucial to ensuring that my contributions comply with Wikipedia's standards. I would appreciate any assistance or clarification you can provide in this regard.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter, and I look forward to your guidance.

Could someone with some more experience please let me know what changes I could make to make my draft more neutral sounding? Also, since this is a celebrity tequila brand, the only sources are from magazines and blogs that cover celebrities. However, these are seen as unreliable and I am not really sure what to do. Thanks!

Hello, I am currently drafting my first article about a defunct sand and gravel business which became a significant producer and distributor of construction materials in the North of England from the 1930's to the 1970's. My draft article was declined a few days ago as my references did not show that that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. Completely fair and I have since read a lot of wikipedia policy and guidance pages about the subject, taken advice from a couple of Wikiprojects and revised my references, adding more detailed sources including an in-depth Yorkshire Post article in 1937 and industry reference books from the period. Before I re-submit, I'm looking for a little help to check if others agree that these sources now meet the criteria and gather any further suggestions or advice.
My article is here: Draft:Stephen Toulson & Sons.

If I specify Category:GA-Class_articles as a category in the Search, I get an error "Deep category query returned too many categories" and it doesn't find anything. Whether I specify two categories (Glucocorticoids AND GA-Class_articles) or just one category (GA-Class_articles) I get the same error "Deep category query returned too many categories". Only the non-GA category like Glucocorticoids works as a search category.
Please suggest a tool or instructions on how to search by category among GA articles to get the list of all GA articles that fit particular category?

Are there any parameters in "cite book", etc. that allow one to note when the source material is a non-English translation of another foreign language? For example, I recently created this article: one of its sources is in Spanish. However, its original language is actually German or Polish. In case anybody was wondering, this particular source has never been translated into English, although small portions of it have appeared quoted in a number of publications. (Also, although I'm a proficient German reader and can sort of make out Polish because of my knowledge of Russian and passing acquaintance of other Slavic languages, Spanish is my mother tongue, which is why I chose to use this translation. Anyway, I don't have the original language source available, whereas the Spanish translation is in my personal collection.) As always your help is very appreciated.

specify the language of the source you used (as you did

It gives me the following: drug-eluting stent – Artery of the coronary circulation which transports blood into and out of the cardiac muscle
However, the description is wrong, it took "Artery of the coronary circulation which transports blood into and out of the cardiac muscle" from another wikidata item, it should have taken the description "a medical stent that releases drug that inhibits cellular growth into the stented area".
When you go to drug-eluting stent and then click a link to wikidata item, you will get to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3973120 that does not have this description. Why it did not take description from correct wikidata item?

Could you please help me with this issue? I have a ph.D. and I am used to very strict, clear and transparent rules for sources reliability. Here, I feel left in the dark.

An article about a relatively small German art exhibition has a large section filled with tables detailing the exhibitions finances? And another section detailing the names of every administration person involved. This seems like excess detail that isn't covered in an independent/secondary source.
Can any editors take a look? I'm not actually sure what guideline to cite when removing. Zenomonoz ( talk) 07:22, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
a relatively small German art exhibition, or is that your own personal interpretation? The amount of detail to be included in an article about a "small" topic is not objectively quantifiable. All that detail needs to be verified, neutral and not undue. What is or is not undue is decided by policy-based discussions on the talk page of the relevant article, which is Talk: Freie Berliner Kunstausstellung. That is the first and best place to discuss the content dispute. Please start there. Cullen328 ( talk) 07:37, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
Given the dispute between the two editors (cf. AIV: Zenomonoz reported by Andrea014) my very strong advice to Zenomonoz is that they should walk away from the Freie Berliner Kunstausstellung article (and any other work done by Andrea014), because their criticism of such work looks like bad faith. If there is an issue with the tables in that article, some uninvolved editor will, sometime, come across them and deal with them. -- Tagishsimon ( talk) 13:25, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
