Hello, Wikipedia friends. Let me introduce myself. I'm Nana Sarna from Central Java, and I am currently writing Wikipedia. /info/en/?search=Draft:Markus_Soegiarto . My vision and mission revolve around conveying balanced information about Indonesia to a global audience. Even though Indonesia has the fourth largest population in the world, I have identified differences in recognition between Indonesian figures and other world figures. By providing balanced information and comprehensive understanding, we can contribute to making the world a better place and reducing misunderstandings.
Journalists carefully selected several Indonesian figures, so they received comprehensive coverage in various media in Indonesia. Despite receiving awards in Indonesia, only a few public figures receive international recognition. But I found Markus Soegiarto in a Google Scholar search, and he meets Wikipedia's criteria for being recognized as one of the notable people.
I respectfully request assistance submitting it to Wikipedia, and I welcome any input to address potential deficiencies in my content. Your guidance in this matter is greatly appreciated. Best Regards

I am creating this page - Draft:K._K._Kochukoshy, since its my first time i am running into a few confusions. It'd be nice to hear from others.
1. The first reviewer mentioned that its not worthy of Wikipedia, i did read up /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not, and i dont think thats applicable, since the person in question is checked upon for sources/works quite frequently. I believe having an open body where others can add would be very helpful.
2. I am related to the person and have contributed most of it, i do not mind expressing that as a disclaimer. Is there something i should do about it? There is already a badge for autobiography and i think thats relevant.
3. I have cited most of it, some are from physical books - which i am happy to provide scanned copies or photos. if needed, when and where should i showcase these?
4. There is a mention of birthday and place, in the infobox - how can i cite them?
5. Is there anything else you would like to see be corrected, please do let me know. As in if there are any glaring issues which might lead it to be declined again.
Thanks so much for your time and efforts, happy to learn!

Hello, yesterday I wrote two articles about companies dealing with artificial intelligence (D-ID and Perplexity.ai). Apart from being a teacher who uses these programs, I have no connection, business or otherwise, with them. As I presented in the sources, these are two articles that I understand from using Wikipedia for years, should exist here. I cannot reasonably be expected to "prove a negative" and demonstrate my lack of affiliation with these companies. How do I transfer these two drafts to the article space? I would appreciate your help. Galamore ( talk) 08:09, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
A lot of references in the Stroad article are ultimately cited from the same source, Not Just Bikes.

I thought that this subject wasn't notable, and the article felt a bit promotional, so I proposed it for deletion. Another editor contested that, with the summary saying "significant coverage in cited sources." The sources are 3 links to the site itself, and a link to a listicle that 404s. I think that's a pretty weak case for notability. Would it be appropriate to bring this to Articles for Deletion at this point? Or am I obligated to try to find better sources myself first? 4.16.149.14 ( talk) 15:28, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

I am a new editor on Wikipedia, and most articles I am trying to edit are highly complicated for me.

Also with regards to date format, which is acceptable (for 2024/01/08, todays date in UTC) and can you use Jan instead of January? Given that using the bottom two may cause confusion.
Breathinkeeps32 ( talk) 18:15, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
8 January 2024, for both prose and references (but 2024-01-08, not 2024/01/08, would be acceptable in references if that is the style of the page) since it's unusual in prose to do an all numeric date and WP:CITESTYLE says
Although nearly any consistent style may be used, avoid all-numeric date formats other than YYYY-MM-DD, because of the ambiguity concerning which number is the month and which the day. For example, 2002-06-11 may be used, but not 11/06/2002.But it should be consistent as much as possible with other references while staying within our style guide. See MOS:DATEFORMAT for many more examples. So abbreviated months are fine in some cases as long as it's consistent within the article and I think the general preference is full month names.

Routine calculations do not count as original research, provided there is consensus among editors that the results of the calculations are correct, and a meaningful reflection of the sources.From my experience I am suggesting that it is unlikely that this standard would be found to apply. If you feel that WP:CALC applies, it is incumbent on you to positively establish consensus for its applicability. VQuakr ( talk) 20:59, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
Disputing that the computations are not "routine" is just your opinion.No, no, no, this is quite wrong. Once someone has disputed whether the computations are routine, consensus does not exist as described at WP:CALC. It then becomes incumbent on you, the one proposing to incorporate those calcs, to establish consensus. You do not get to demand an affirmative rebuttal of someone showing you where those calcs are wrong (or indeed, wrong at all: they can be completely correct and still unacceptable to include in the article unsourced). Consensus, as described at the linked policy, is a critical concept to understand in order to be a successful editor on Wikipedia. VQuakr ( talk) 23:09, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello. I am beset by a very unusual set of circumstances here. Buckle up for this one! I am the son of the late Chief Hawk Pope. A great man in my eyes and in the eyes of many others for his accomplishments in life. In short, He succeeded in reviving a nearly lost group of Shawnee people in our traditional homeland of Ohio over the course of his life. Through the knowledge that his grandfather gave him as a child as well as the partnerships he would come to have throughout this nearly impossible task, he managed to reform the Shawnee Nation United Remnant Band. Suffice it to say that in the process of him accomplishing all that he did, he acquired quite a few friends as well as enemies. During and after gaining state recognition for our tribe, he was met with fierce opposition from a most unlikely source. Far to the west there are three "federally recognized" tribes of Shawnee people who saw his accomplishment as a threat to their status and authority over certain monetary interests. None of which were of any concern to my father. None the less they have taken it upon themselves to attack him and now myself as well as our tribe for decades. On the wiki page for my people, I have been in a constant fight with someone to maintain factual information. It's slander and I'm not sure how best to combat this. Please let me know what I can do.

Reading the article Sergei Rachmaninoff I am surprised to find, in addition to factual material, several personal opinions concerning Rachmaninoff's music, all of which reference a single book by someone named Max Harrison: [Rachmaninoff: Life, Works, Recordings (2006)]. According to Amazon, Harrison has written one other book on a classical composer [The Lieder of Brahms (1972)], and a large number of books on jazz. Looking at Amazon reader reviews of his Rachmaninoff book, my impression of the most useful of these, both extensive and thorough, are the two 2-star reviews. I'm not at all sure that Mr Harrison's personal opinions, alone, are appropriate for this WP article, certainly without a wider consensus. Several days ago I posted essentially this same notice at Rachmaninoff's talkpage, but I suspect that page is rarely monitored. Milkunderwood ( talk) 01:53, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

I am currently writing an article, and I found a court document that gives name and marriage infromation. However, I cannot find a website that holds the documents. There’s a Google Books page on it, but attempting to use the auto-generated citations doesn’t work.
While searching, I found a webpage, which had a file inside of it. After transferring that file to my Google Docs, I discovered it was the court document. It’s an official court document, but is on an unofficial service.
If I were to publicize the Google Docs file, which contains court document information, and link that as a reference, is that allowed by Wikipedia, or will I ave to find another method of referencing these documents.
If necessary, Google Doc with court document here.

There’s a Google Books page on it, but attempting to use the auto-generated citations doesn’t work.Just enter the citation information manually. See Help:Referencing for beginners. It doesn't matter if you don't get all the formatting right, just the title, author, year, publisher, etc, just like if you were citing something somewhere other than a Wikipedia article draft.Also, do be aware that relying on primary sources such as court records may indicate other sourcing problems with your article, and some editors may not accept them.

WikiProjects exist in the project namespace and can technically be started by any auto-confirmed user. However, to avoid the proliferation of unused and underutilized WikiProjects, it is strongly recommended that those interested in starting a WikiProject read the guidance below and propose their project at the proposal page.
It's fairly common for editors to try to promote their religious beliefs on Wikipedia articles; of course, this is an NPOV violation and should be reverted. When I post warning messages on user talk pages, if their edits were promoting the same religion I follow (I'm a Christian), is it appropriate for me to say something along the lines of "While I agree that Jesus is the Lord, Wikipedia articles should not endorse particular religious beliefs because of our neutral point of view policy"? It might make the other user more receptive to the warning if they know I'm not just reverting because I disagree with them, but I'm not sure if warning messages should also be neutral?

I would like to rename a page that has a title with a disambiguation because the disambiguation is too narrow in scope.
Specifically, I would like to change the "Polymorphism (materials science)" page to "Polymorphism (crystallography)". The page contains information about polymorphism in crystals studied by materials scientists as well as chemists, mineralogists, pharmacologists, physicists, engineers, etc., and the term "crystallography" is inclusive of all these fields.
A few days ago, I mentioned this proposed change in the talk section for the page and have not received any comments yet. After awhile, if I do not hear any objections, how should I proceed? I am a fairly new to editing Wikipedia and don't want to break anything.

Dear Sir or Madam,
Happy New Year! I had some interactions with Wikipedia moderators as regards the Behavioral Optometry page on Wikipedia some years ago. My initial point of contact was a moderator called Lou Sander who I have messaged on his talk page and have had no reply after a couple of days. I also left a message on the Behavioral Optometry 'talk'page and have had no reply. Someone called 'Bon courage' has written something so I have also left them a message. The last point of contact I had some years ago was an ER doctor in Canada and we had some polite and fruitful conversations as regards peer reviewed scientific literature. If he is still involved in Wikipedia it would be good to put in contact with him. Otherwise someone who has written peer reviewed scientific literature within medical sciences (eg medicine, optometry) like myself would be good.
If I have not come to the right place on Wikipedia let me know.

I was wondering if Fandom is a reliable source, that would be acceptable as a source on a draft, provided there are other proven-reliable sources linked. I am writing an article on a cryptocurrency called Banano, and multiple sources are linked to Fandom, which has a lot of history on the cryptocurrency, which can't seem to be found elsewhere. Am I okay to reference Fandom, or is that considered an unreliable source? OnlyNano ( talk) 00:45, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
Are the books from the 33 1/3 series reliable sources for album articles? Been trying to find some info on Blue Moves for instance, and saw that there is a book in this series which covers that album.
On the one hand, the authors are tend to be completely separate from the artist or their label, but they are published books that seem to have a respectable reputation. I’d mainly be using these books for info on the recording of the album, and also to have cite-able descriptions of the songs’ musical and lyrical content.

I am pretty sure that there is a wikipedia policy on using memoirs as a reference for something. Can someone please offer a link to that policy? I can't find it. Thanks, Carptrash ( talk) 17:35, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity. So, it is important to read reviews of the memoir published by reliable sources over time to determine if doubts about the accuracy of the memoir have been expressed. Some well- known memoirs have been exposed as false. Examples include Misha: A Mémoire of the Holocaust Years and A Million Little Pieces. In both cases, these books were widely acclaimed as true stories upon publication but later revealed to be hoaxes. Cullen328 ( talk) 02:21, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
Do I need a source for content that is self evident to publish the content, or do I still need a published source to satisfy the verification requirement? Biolitblue ( talk) 23:20, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the material. This means that if either you believe there is a good chance someone will disagree, or if someone does actually disagree at some point, you must include a reference before re-adding the content. Tollens ( talk) 23:26, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
I suspect Wikipedia doesn't want you to actually try to fix the issue because it would seriously compromise the amount of content on the site, I react with astonishment. "Wikipedia" is inanimate and does not "want" anything because it is incapable of wanting. Volunteers do only what they individually want to do without anybody assigning any tasks. Do you really think that there is some hierarchy here, and that editors and administrators are admonished by some Wikipedia power structure to remove less unreferenced content? I have been editing regularly for almost 15 years and have been a very active administrator for over six years. I have been heavily involved in deletion processes and dealing with editors who add unreferenced and poorly referenced content. And not one single time in all those years has anyone pressured me or even asked me nicely to delete less content. Not once. Cullen328 ( talk) 01:56, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
1) I have had content reverted multiple times because I could not find a published source to satisfy the verification requirement. Obviously, quite a lot of excellent content must be omitted from the site because nobody has published on the topic.
At the same time, a significant amount of low quality content is found on the site because the author found a published source from an individual whose published content is of poor quality. The poor quality of a published source can be for myriad reasons. Additionally, a published source doesn't necessarily, and often doesn't, verify the veracity of the claim made.
Given that Wikipedia has a largess, can't it consider employing experts in a variety of fields on a part-time basis to act as arbiters when there is claim made but no published content available?
2) If the verification rule is so important, even mission critical, why is so much of Wikipedia's content uncited? Why don't editors delete it like they insist my entries are deleted? Such vast uncited content on Wikipedia is either never flagged, flagged with a box above the article, or contains "needs citation" next to the claim but is not deleted. I've read articles of substantial length on Wikipedia that did contain any citations.
To avoid being intellectually dishonest, and to bring content on Wikipedia in compliance, why don't editors coordinate to delete all uncited content from the site instead of cherry picking whom they wish to pick on to enforce the rule?

Aspiring Wiki Author Seeks Guidance:
Hello, fellow Wiki enthusiasts! I'm thrilled to share that I've recently penned my very first Wiki article. It is about a Korean Martial Artist. My creation is currently residing in my sandbox, patiently awaiting the scrutiny of a seasoned Wiki veteran. As advised, I believe seeking feedback from an experienced Wiki author is crucial before unleashing my brainchild onto the world.
Would any seasoned Wiki aficionados be willing to lend me their expertise? I'm eager to receive constructive criticism and guidance on how to refine my article into a comprehensive and informative piece. A veteran's perspective could prove invaluable in ensuring my work meets the high standards of the Wiki community.
If you're interested in volunteering your time and expertise, please don't hesitate to reach out.

I think three may be too many still, but you should certainly pare those listed in the infobox to the most important. People overpack infoboxes and stretch parameters to represent information they don't have to, and it's one of the most consistent editing problems on the site, imo—see

There is one article that was moved to draft, and I don't have the option to click a button to request its publication. The article is Draft:Perplexity.ai I would appreciate some assistance.
The general attitude towards new articles about companies is one of suspicion and fear of 'advertising.' However, when it comes to companies with breakthrough products (like Perplexity.ai or D-ID) or those that have existed for many years (such as JFrog or Holmes Place), this suspicion seems, in my opinion, to be unnecessary.

{{

to the top of the page. The reason for the suspicion of new articles about companies is the large number of new articles which are created simply for PR purposes – it is common for these articles to claim they have created 'breakthrough products', and many such companies have existed for many years, and yet they often still don't meet the inclusion criteria. The best and easiest way to prove that such suspicion is unwarranted in any particular case is just to demonstrate significant coverage in reliable, independent, secondary sources.

Hello,
I've come across something a bit confusing- I've been working on this article draft ( Draft:Infamous PR) and realised it's now appearing in google search results, even though it's in draft space- this happens just from googling the organisation name. When I first created the article I published it into mainspace, before I was told it would need re-drafting so it was moved into draft space, so I'm wondering if this period of being in mainspace is how it's ended up being indexed? The other odd thing is on google it's the talk page of the draft that appears in the search result. A draft talk page appearing on google seems odd/messy to me, am I missing something?

Hi Teahouse folks, I'm working on a draft of an article about Erin Williams, an American author, illustrator, and cartoonist. I'm confused about why the article was not accepted. Each source is independent of the subject--with the exception of her website, which is listed as an external website at the end of the article, and can be removed if that's what's causing the issue. The sources are published in reliable, secondary sources, for example, reviews in Publisher's Weekly, and Kirkus Reviews, and The Kenyon Review. And the references show significant coverage including sources that are reviews of the author's work. After reviewing the feedback I got, and reviewing the articles linked in the feedback--I'm not sure how this article isn't meeting the criteria so that I might improve it. Thanks so much.

I have thought for a long time that this website is far left propaganda. That's the main reason I thought that. However I have been told that Wikipedia just has articles with bunch of sources and you should judge for yourself how these sources are accurate or not.
So my questions are several.
1. If I follow a WP article, does that mean I can learn new things about things? I mean I thought that was the case back in 2007 which is the main reason I joined.
2. How the hell do I know what sources to trust in the articles? The Internet legit is full of misinformation, there is more misinformation than accurate information even official sources have that. How can I look past that and see the actual truth? I find that close to impossible.
3. Why do articles for upcoming movies say "this movie is..." instead of "...this movie will be."?
4. I don't understand the logic behind articles on this website. For example why does Montgomery Burns from The Simpsons have his own article and not Carter Pewtersmith from Family Guy? I mean I know both are very popular and you can find real life information regarding both characters if you know where to look. I know Montgomery Burns is far more popular but Carter Pewtersmith is still an extremely popular character there is no disputing that. I personally find this hypocritical but I could be wrong.
5. What should I look into before nominating things like articles, categories etc. for deletion?
6. What is the point of the article regarding movies that most frequently use fuck? Back in the 1970's it might have been valuable information, but nowadays it's not as throwing over 100 fucks in the same movie is extremely common nowadays in R rated movies.
7. What is the best website to use for real world information which doesn't require me to look at a lot of sources? I want to be educated on the world around me, and I still don't entirely trust Wikipedia.
That's all I hope I get some answers. I am considering returning, I haven't officially decided yet but I am considering it. Blaze The Movie Fan ( talk) 16:22, 15 January 2024 (UTC)}}

Introduction: In recent years, the field of medical imaging has witnessed a significant transformation with the introduction of high-frequency mobile X-ray machines. These portable devices have revolutionized point-of-care imaging, offering healthcare professionals the flexibility to conduct on-the-spot diagnostic examinations. In this article, we will explore the key features and benefits of high-frequency mobile X-ray machines and their impact on modern healthcare. Understanding High-Frequency Mobile X-Ray Machines: High-frequency mobile X-ray machines are portable imaging devices designed to provide healthcare practitioners with the ability to perform X-ray examinations at the patient's bedside or any point-of-care location. These machines utilize advanced technology to generate high-frequency X-rays, resulting in improved image quality and reduced radiation exposure for both patients and healthcare providers. Key Features and Advantages: Portability: One of the primary advantages of high-frequency mobile X-ray machines is their portability. These compact and lightweight devices can be easily transported within a healthcare facility or even to remote locations, allowing for rapid imaging in emergency situations or when traditional imaging facilities are not readily accessible. High-Frequency Technology: These machines employ high-frequency X-ray generators, which operate at frequencies greater than conventional X-ray machines. This technology enhances image clarity and resolution while minimizing radiation exposure. The result is improved diagnostic accuracy and reduced potential harm to patients. Wireless Connectivity: Many high-frequency mobile X-ray machines are equipped with wireless connectivity features. This enables seamless integration with electronic health record (EHR) systems, facilitating quick and efficient sharing of diagnostic images with other healthcare professionals. Real-time access to patient data enhances collaborative decision-making. Ease of Use: Designed with user-friendly interfaces, these machines are easy for healthcare professionals to operate. The simplified controls and automated features streamline the imaging process, ensuring that even non-specialized personnel can perform X-ray examinations with minimal training. Quick Image Acquisition: High-frequency mobile X-ray machines offer rapid image acquisition, providing almost instantaneous results. This is especially crucial in emergency situations where timely diagnosis can significantly impact patient outcomes. Quick access to diagnostic information allows for prompt decision-making and treatment planning. Applications in Healthcare: The applications of high-frequency mobile X-ray machines span a wide range of healthcare settings, including: Emergency Departments: Rapid imaging capabilities are invaluable in emergency situations, helping healthcare providers promptly assess injuries and guide immediate treatment decisions. Intensive Care Units (ICUs): These machines facilitate bedside imaging for critically ill patients, minimizing the need for patient transportation and reducing the risk of complications. Long-Term Care Facilities: Portable X-ray units are beneficial in long-term care settings, where they can be used for routine examinations without the need for patient transfer. Remote or Underserved Areas: High-frequency mobile X-ray machines play a crucial role in providing diagnostic services in remote or underserved areas where access to traditional imaging facilities may be limited. Conclusion: The integration of high-frequency mobile X-ray machines into modern healthcare practices represents a significant advancement in medical imaging technology. These portable devices enhance the efficiency and accessibility of diagnostic services, ultimately contributing to improved patient outcomes. As technology continues to evolve, the role of these innovative machines is likely to expand, further shaping the landscape of point-of-care imaging. |

Hello, Wikipedia friends. Let me introduce myself. I'm Nana Sarna from Central Java, and I am currently writing Wikipedia. /info/en/?search=Draft:Markus_Soegiarto . My vision and mission revolve around conveying balanced information about Indonesia to a global audience. Even though Indonesia has the fourth largest population in the world, I have identified differences in recognition between Indonesian figures and other world figures. By providing balanced information and comprehensive understanding, we can contribute to making the world a better place and reducing misunderstandings.
Journalists carefully selected several Indonesian figures, so they received comprehensive coverage in various media in Indonesia. Despite receiving awards in Indonesia, only a few public figures receive international recognition. But I found Markus Soegiarto in a Google Scholar search, and he meets Wikipedia's criteria for being recognized as one of the notable people.
I respectfully request assistance submitting it to Wikipedia, and I welcome any input to address potential deficiencies in my content. Your guidance in this matter is greatly appreciated. Best Regards

I am creating this page - Draft:K._K._Kochukoshy, since its my first time i am running into a few confusions. It'd be nice to hear from others.
1. The first reviewer mentioned that its not worthy of Wikipedia, i did read up /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not, and i dont think thats applicable, since the person in question is checked upon for sources/works quite frequently. I believe having an open body where others can add would be very helpful.
2. I am related to the person and have contributed most of it, i do not mind expressing that as a disclaimer. Is there something i should do about it? There is already a badge for autobiography and i think thats relevant.
3. I have cited most of it, some are from physical books - which i am happy to provide scanned copies or photos. if needed, when and where should i showcase these?
4. There is a mention of birthday and place, in the infobox - how can i cite them?
5. Is there anything else you would like to see be corrected, please do let me know. As in if there are any glaring issues which might lead it to be declined again.
Thanks so much for your time and efforts, happy to learn!

Hello, yesterday I wrote two articles about companies dealing with artificial intelligence (D-ID and Perplexity.ai). Apart from being a teacher who uses these programs, I have no connection, business or otherwise, with them. As I presented in the sources, these are two articles that I understand from using Wikipedia for years, should exist here.

I thought that this subject wasn't notable, and the article felt a bit promotional, so I proposed it for deletion. Another editor contested that, with the summary saying "significant coverage in cited sources." The sources are 3 links to the site itself, and a link to a listicle that 404s. I think that's a pretty weak case for notability. Would it be appropriate to bring this to Articles for Deletion at this point? Or am I obligated to try to find better sources myself first? 4.16.149.14 ( talk) 15:28, 8 January 2024 (UTC)

Breathinkeeps32 ( talk) 18:15, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
8 January 2024, for both prose and references (but 2024-01-08, not 2024/01/08, would be acceptable in references if that is the style of the page) since it's unusual in prose to do an all numeric date and WP:CITESTYLE says
Although nearly any consistent style may be used, avoid all-numeric date formats other than YYYY-MM-DD, because of the ambiguity concerning which number is the month and which the day. For example, 2002-06-11 may be used, but not 11/06/2002.But it should be consistent as much as possible with other references while staying within our style guide. See MOS:DATEFORMAT for many more examples. So abbreviated months are fine in some cases as long as it's consistent within the article and I think the general preference is full month names.

Routine calculations do not count as original research, provided there is consensus among editors that the results of the calculations are correct, and a meaningful reflection of the sources.From my experience I am suggesting that it is unlikely that this standard would be found to apply. If you feel that WP:CALC applies, it is incumbent on you to positively establish consensus for its applicability. VQuakr ( talk) 20:59, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
Disputing that the computations are not "routine" is just your opinion.No, no, no, this is quite wrong. Once someone has disputed whether the computations are routine, consensus does not exist as described at WP:CALC. It then becomes incumbent on you, the one proposing to incorporate those calcs, to establish consensus. You do not get to demand an affirmative rebuttal of someone showing you where those calcs are wrong (or indeed, wrong at all: they can be completely correct and still unacceptable to include in the article unsourced). Consensus, as described at the linked policy, is a critical concept to understand in order to be a successful editor on Wikipedia. VQuakr ( talk) 23:09, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello. I am beset by a very unusual set of circumstances here. Buckle up for this one! I am the son of the late Chief Hawk Pope. A great man in my eyes and in the eyes of many others for his accomplishments in life. In short, He succeeded in reviving a nearly lost group of Shawnee people in our traditional homeland of Ohio over the course of his life. Through the knowledge that his grandfather gave him as a child as well as the partnerships he would come to have throughout this nearly impossible task, he managed to reform the Shawnee Nation United Remnant Band. Suffice it to say that in the process of him accomplishing all that he did, he acquired quite a few friends as well as enemies. During and after gaining state recognition for our tribe, he was met with fierce opposition from a most unlikely source. Far to the west there are three "federally recognized" tribes of Shawnee people who saw his accomplishment as a threat to their status and authority over certain monetary interests. None of which were of any concern to my father. None the less they have taken it upon themselves to attack him and now myself as well as our tribe for decades. On the wiki page for my people, I have been in a constant fight with someone to maintain factual information. It's slander and I'm not sure how best to combat this. Please let me know what I can do.

Reading the article Sergei Rachmaninoff I am surprised to find, in addition to factual material, several personal opinions concerning Rachmaninoff's music, all of which reference a single book by someone named Max Harrison: [Rachmaninoff: Life, Works, Recordings (2006)]. According to Amazon, Harrison has written one other book on a classical composer [The Lieder of Brahms (1972)], and a large number of books on jazz. Looking at Amazon reader reviews of his Rachmaninoff book, my impression of the most useful of these, both extensive and thorough, are the two 2-star reviews. I'm not at all sure that Mr Harrison's personal opinions, alone, are appropriate for this WP article, certainly without a wider consensus. Several days ago I posted essentially this same notice at Rachmaninoff's talkpage, but I suspect that page is rarely monitored. Milkunderwood ( talk) 01:53, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

I am currently writing an article, and I found a court document that gives name and marriage infromation. However, I cannot find a website that holds the documents. There’s a Google Books page on it, but attempting to use the auto-generated citations doesn’t work.
While searching, I found a webpage, which had a file inside of it. After transferring that file to my Google Docs, I discovered it was the court document. It’s an official court document, but is on an unofficial service.
If I were to publicize the Google Docs file, which contains court document information, and link that as a reference, is that allowed by Wikipedia, or will I ave to find another method of referencing these documents.

I noticed on one of my edits to my userpage, there was a tag called Possible self promotion in userspace. Could someone take a look at my userpage (no promotion is intended, and I have no affiliation with the project, I just favor it a lot) and let me know if I should remove the logo?

If a figure has a CC-BY-4.0 license, one of the terms of the license is to indicate if changes were made.
If I upload a figure to a Wikipedia article and change it a bit, where should I mention the changes I did? In the article itself, the caption, the Wikimedia page of the figure or where?

Make my own WikiProject? Or can only WikiStaff make projects? AntiVandaliser2024 ( talk) 16:18, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
WikiProjects exist in the project namespace and can technically be started by any auto-confirmed user. However, to avoid the proliferation of unused and underutilized WikiProjects, it is strongly recommended that those interested in starting a WikiProject read the guidance below and propose their project at the proposal page.
It's fairly common for editors to try to promote their religious beliefs on Wikipedia articles; of course, this is an NPOV violation and should be reverted. When I post warning messages on user talk pages, if their edits were promoting the same religion I follow (I'm a Christian), is it appropriate for me to say something along the lines of "While I agree that Jesus is the Lord, Wikipedia articles should not endorse particular religious beliefs because of our neutral point of view policy"? It might make the other user more receptive to the warning if they know I'm not just reverting because I disagree with them, but I'm not sure if warning messages should also be neutral?

First I want to complain about missing "WP:" shortcut to binary prefixes issue in WP:COMPUNITS.
Then, I want to complain about the people who couldn't, for 10 years, figure out that one of the greatest complaints in Manual of Stayle needs its own WP shortcut.
Then, I want to complain about organization of Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers, where I can't easily find recent discussion on WWF:BINARY_PREFIXES. I can't easily see what arguments have been posted so far.
I can't see what's the current conclusion of discussion on WWF:BINARY_PREFIXES, because the archive box on the right only has WWF:BINARY_PREFIXES up to the year 2010.

I would like to rename a page that has a title with a disambiguation because the disambiguation is too narrow in scope.
Specifically, I would like to change the "Polymorphism (materials science)" page to "Polymorphism (crystallography)". The page contains information about polymorphism in crystals studied by materials scientists as well as chemists, mineralogists, pharmacologists, physicists, engineers, etc., and the term "crystallography" is inclusive of all these fields.
A few days ago, I mentioned this proposed change in the talk section for the page and have not received any comments yet. After awhile, if I do not hear any objections, how should I proceed? I am a fairly new to editing Wikipedia and don't want to break anything.
Also, while I do not consider this a controversial change, what is the proper way to proceed if there is controversy?

Dear Sir or Madam,
Happy New Year! I had some interactions with Wikipedia moderators as regards the Behavioral Optometry page on Wikipedia some years ago. My initial point of contact was a moderator called Lou Sander who I have messaged on his talk page and have had no reply after a couple of days. I also left a message on the Behavioral Optometry 'talk'page and have had no reply. Someone called 'Bon courage' has written something so I have also left them a message. The last point of contact I had some years ago was an ER doctor in Canada and we had some polite and fruitful conversations as regards peer reviewed scientific literature. If he is still involved in Wikipedia it would be good to put in contact with him. Otherwise someone who has written peer reviewed scientific literature within medical sciences (eg medicine, optometry) like myself would be good.
If I have not come to the right place on Wikipedia let me know.

Are the books from the 33 1/3 series reliable sources for album articles? Been trying to find some info on Blue Moves for instance, and saw that there is a book in this series which covers that album.
On the one hand, the authors are tend to be completely separate from the artist or their label, but they are published books that seem to have a respectable reputation. I’d mainly be using these books for info on the recording of the album, and also to have cite-able descriptions of the songs’ musical and lyrical content.

there is no reasonable doubt as to its authenticity. So, it is important to read reviews of the memoir published by reliable sources over time to determine if doubts about the accuracy of the memoir have been expressed. Some well- known memoirs have been exposed as false. Examples include Misha: A Mémoire of the Holocaust Years and A Million Little Pieces. In both cases, these books were widely acclaimed as true stories upon publication but later revealed to be hoaxes. Cullen328 ( talk) 02:21, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
Do I need a source for content that is self evident to publish the content, or do I still need a published source to satisfy the verification requirement? Biolitblue ( talk) 23:20, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the material. This means that if either you believe there is a good chance someone will disagree, or if someone does actually disagree at some point, you must include a reference before re-adding the content. Tollens ( talk) 23:26, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
I suspect Wikipedia doesn't want you to actually try to fix the issue because it would seriously compromise the amount of content on the site, I react with astonishment. "Wikipedia" is inanimate and does not "want" anything because it is incapable of wanting. Volunteers do only what they individually want to do without anybody assigning any tasks. Do you really think that there is some hierarchy here, and that editors and administrators are admonished by some Wikipedia power structure to remove less unreferenced content? I have been editing regularly for almost 15 years and have been a very active administrator for over six years. I have been heavily involved in deletion processes and dealing with editors who add unreferenced and poorly referenced content. And not one single time in all those years has anyone pressured me or even asked me nicely to delete less content. Not once. Cullen328 ( talk) 01:56, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
1) I have had content reverted multiple times because I could not find a published source to satisfy the verification requirement. Obviously, quite a lot of excellent content must be omitted from the site because nobody has published on the topic.
At the same time, a significant amount of low quality content is found on the site because the author found a published source from an individual whose published content is of poor quality. The poor quality of a published source can be for myriad reasons. Additionally, a published source doesn't necessarily, and often doesn't, verify the veracity of the claim made.
Given that Wikipedia has a largess, can't it consider employing experts in a variety of fields on a part-time basis to act as arbiters when there is claim made but no published content available?
2) If the verification rule is so important, even mission critical, why is so much of Wikipedia's content uncited? Why don't editors delete it like they insist my entries are deleted? Such vast uncited content on Wikipedia is either never flagged, flagged with a box above the article, or contains "needs citation" next to the claim but is not deleted. I've read articles of substantial length on Wikipedia that did contain any citations.
To avoid being intellectually dishonest, and to bring content on Wikipedia in compliance, why don't editors coordinate to delete all uncited content from the site instead of cherry picking whom they wish to pick on to enforce the rule?

How do I create a template within my user namespace? NM 23:00, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
{{User:NM/MyTemplate|...}}
. The only thing that's special about the Template namespace is that that is the default for transclusion if no other namespace is given.

I've just created a new category Category:Revenue blocks of Tenkasi district. It's a sub category of Category:Revenue blocks of Tamil Nadu and it's listed there under 'R' for Revenue rather than 'T' for Tenkasi. I wonder what step I've missed when creating the new category and whether it can be changed. Rupples ( talk) 06:11, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I have written several articles so far. Some have been moved to drafts, while others remain as they are. There is one article that was moved to draft, and I don't have the option to click a button to request its publication. The article is Draft:Perplexity.ai I would appreciate some assistance.
The general attitude towards new articles about companies is one of suspicion and fear of 'advertising.' However, when it comes to companies with breakthrough products (like Perplexity.ai or D-ID) or those that have existed for many years (such as JFrog or Holmes Place), this suspicion seems, in my opinion, to be unnecessary. Galamore ( talk) 07:04, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

to the top of the page. The reason for the suspicion of new articles about companies is the large number of new articles which are created simply for PR purposes – it is common for these articles to claim they have created 'breakthrough products', and many such companies have existed for many years, and yet they often still don't meet the inclusion criteria. The best and easiest way to prove that such suspicion is unwarranted in any particular case is just to demonstrate significant coverage in reliable, independent, secondary sources.

talk) 07:20, 16 January 2024 (UTC)So I just created a translated page (which is Draft:Hotel Termas el Sosneado), but I can't figure out how to officially link it to it's Spanish original: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_Termas_el_Sosneado
Ideally, the English version has the same image as the original as well. I'm new and just don't know how to work out the language links or how to give credit to the original page if necessary.
Could someone either point me in the right direction or fix the issue? Also, I'd like to officially publish it if possible. Thanks! Gnat8 ( talk) 06:28, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
Hello,
I've come across something a bit confusing- I've been working on this article draft ( Draft:Infamous PR) and realised it's now appearing in google search results, even though it's in draft space- this happens just from googling the organisation name. When I first created the article I published it into mainspace, before I was told it would need re-drafting so it was moved into draft space, so I'm wondering if this period of being in mainspace is how it's ended up being indexed? The other odd thing is on google it's the talk page of the draft that appears in the search result. A draft talk page appearing on google seems odd/messy to me, am I missing something? Should I just delete that draft and re-create it to rectify that?
Thanks for any advice! Editing84 ( talk) 10:16, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Hello! I'm looking to update my favorite bands' Wikipedia article but I'm not sure what counts as relevant information to add?
I don't want to add information that's unnecessary (i.e. how they named one of their albums, specific festivals they've preformed at, photos of the individual members) and don't know if it would be fine if I formatted the article differently (in terms of sections of history, similarly to the Lovejoy page). I guess what I'm asking is how much is too much? Thank you. PeachPitFan17 ( talk) 19:47, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

For Template:NCAA team season.. I am currently experiencing difficulty with redirecting the infobox title (Old Dominion Monarchs men's basketball) to its article space instead of its previous name ( Old Dominion Monarchs basketball) under mode=basketball. The automatic linking to 'Old Dominion Monarchs basketball' causes the prev_year and next_year links to redirect to the old article namespaces instead of the new ones that are currently in use.
For clarification, the Old Dominion Lady Monarchs basketball team was renamed the Old Dominion Monarchs women's basketball team beginning with the 2013–14 season. I have the linked media guides displaying the name change between the 2012–13 and 2013–14 seasons on my talk page. Vataxevader ( talk) 17:45, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi Teahouse folks, I'm working on a draft of an article about Erin Williams, an American author, illustrator, and cartoonist. I'm confused about why the article was not accepted. Each source is independent of the subject--with the exception of her website, which is listed as an external website at the end of the article, and can be removed if that's what's causing the issue. The sources are published in reliable, secondary sources, for example, reviews in Publisher's Weekly, and Kirkus Reviews, and The Kenyon Review. And the references show significant coverage including sources that are reviews of the author's work. After reviewing the feedback I got, and reviewing the articles linked in the feedback--I'm not sure how this article isn't meeting the criteria so that I might improve it. Thanks so much.

I have thought for a long time that this website is far left propaganda. That's the main reason I thought that. However I have been told that Wikipedia just has articles with bunch of sources and you should judge for yourself how these sources are accurate or not.
So my questions are several.
1. If I follow a WP article, does that mean I can learn new things about things? I mean I thought that was the case back in 2007 which is the main reason I joined.
2. How the hell do I know what sources to trust in the articles? The Internet legit is full of misinformation, there is more misinformation than accurate information even official sources have that. How can I look past that and see the actual truth? I find that close to impossible.
3. Why do articles for upcoming movies say "this movie is..." instead of "...this movie will be."?
4. I don't understand the logic behind articles on this website. For example why does Montgomery Burns from The Simpsons have his own article and not Carter Pewtersmith from Family Guy? I mean I know both are very popular and you can find real life information regarding both characters if you know where to look. I know Montgomery Burns is far more popular but Carter Pewtersmith is still an extremely popular character there is no disputing that. I personally find this hypocritical but I could be wrong.
5. What should I look into before nominating things like articles, categories etc. for deletion?
6. What is the point of the article regarding movies that most frequently use fuck? Back in the 1970's it might have been valuable information, but nowadays it's not as throwing over 100 fucks in the same movie is extremely common nowadays in R rated movies.
7. What is the best website to use for real world information which doesn't require me to look at a lot of sources? I want to be educated on the world around me, and I still don't entirely trust Wikipedia.
That's all I hope I get some answers. I am considering returning, I haven't officially decided yet but I am considering it. Blaze The Movie Fan ( talk) 16:22, 15 January 2024 (UTC)}}

This technology enhances image clarity and resolution while minimizing radiation exposure. The result is improved diagnostic accuracy and reduced potential harm to patients. Wireless Connectivity: Many high-frequency mobile X-ray machines are equipped with wireless connectivity features. This enables seamless integration with electronic health record (EHR) systems, facilitating quick and efficient sharing of diagnostic images with other healthcare professionals. Real-time access to patient data enhances collaborative decision-making. Ease of Use: Designed with user-friendly interfaces, these machines are easy for healthcare professionals to operate. The simplified controls and automated features streamline the imaging process, ensuring that even non-specialized personnel can perform X-ray examinations with minimal training. Quick Image Acquisition: High-frequency mobile X-ray machines offer rapid image acquisition, providing almost instantaneous results. This is especially crucial in emergency situations where timely diagnosis can significantly impact patient outcomes. Quick access to diagnostic information allows for prompt decision-making and treatment planning. Applications in Healthcare: The applications of high-frequency mobile X-ray machines span a wide range of healthcare settings, including: Emergency Departments: Rapid imaging capabilities are invaluable in emergency situations, helping healthcare providers promptly assess injuries and guide immediate treatment decisions. Intensive Care Units (ICUs): These machines facilitate bedside imaging for critically ill patients, minimizing the need for patient transportation and reducing the risk of complications. Long-Term Care Facilities: Portable X-ray units are beneficial in long-term care settings, where they can be used for routine examinations without the need for patient transfer. Remote or Underserved Areas: High-frequency mobile X-ray machines play a crucial role in providing diagnostic services in remote or underserved areas where access to traditional imaging facilities may be limited. Conclusion: The integration of high-frequency mobile X-ray machines into modern healthcare practices represents a significant advancement in medical imaging technology. These portable devices enhance the efficiency and accessibility of diagnostic services, ultimately contributing to improved patient outcomes. As technology continues to evolve, the role of these innovative machines is likely to expand, further shaping the landscape of point-of-care imaging. |
