Hi, while I was reading news I noticed that the article for Abraham_Hamadeh redirects to 2022_Arizona_Attorney_General_election#Republican_primary which I found odd, considering this person is a public figure and getting a substantial amount of attention. It seems like they may be the only one of the candidates in the current congressional race who doesn't have an article despite their media coverage which seems odd given they have had a public office prior and a lot of attention now. When I saw that, I thought about creating a start to the article and ran across the redirect.
I'm looking for guidance on how to proceed. I don't know what may have existed on the previous article (archive.org doesn't show anything) and would love to start editing from a previous version rather than creating from scratch.
Thanks for the help! DrGva go ( talk) 23:01, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I recently raised a WP:OWN concern on a page I had been edited lately the Antioch International Movement of Churches. I noticed 50% of the authorship edits on that page have been edited by a single editor since March. This editor uses speedy deletions/reverts, supposed BRD style edits, which I experienced and discouraged me. The editor is also very particular about approving edits. I am concerned this editor is exhibiting behaviors that appear to be possessive of this page. I assume good faith on this editor's part and don't really have any current disputes other than this. When I raised the OWN issue with the editor on the article's talk page, the editor did not reply. The editor eventually left a message on my user talk page telling me, it's not for the article's talk page, to WP:FOC, and talk to administrators about it on the appropriate boards. I reiterated WP:OWN says "An editor who appears to assume ownership of an article should be approached on the article's talk page with a descriptive header informing readers about the topic." and the concerns of overdoing possessive behaviors. Still, the editor did not respond further to the issue on the article's talk page nor elsewhere. What is the proper way to address this and what is the appropriate board to bring this concern to?

Premium Guard Inc[Founded in 1996, Premium Guard Inc. (PGI) specializes in oil, air, cabin, fuel, and transmission filters in the aftermarket automotive filtration industry. PGI has expanded its offerings to include heavy-duty, power sports, and specialty automotive applications, delivering a comprehensive service solution. History and Expansion[Established in New York City, Premium Guard Inc.’s focus from the start has been on providing a turnkey solution with wide application coverage and private label programs for all segments of the North American automotive aftermarket. PGI was initially established as International Distributors USA Inc., but in 2017, the company officially changed its name to Premium Guard Inc. (PGI). The new company name was derived from the company’s Premium Guard brand of automotive filters and supplies. In 2021, Premium Guard Inc. launched its first direct-to-consumer brand, PUREFLOW®, which focuses solely on breathable air at home and in your car. PUREFLOW's line of filtration products, such as automotive cabin air filters and home air filters, are engineered to capture airborne contaminants and allergens. In 2022, PUREFLOW® launched a patented air freshener for cars designed to fit onto a cabin air filter. In 2020, PGI acquired Tenneco's filters business, including its manufacturing facility in Tultitlan, Mexico, and the Interfil and Engine Clean brands. In 2022, PGI also acquired IPC Global Solutions (IPC), a supplier to the aftermarket's fast lube segment and the creator of the ECOGARD® brand of filtration products. References:[External Links:[ |

A retrospective in the Bronxville Press, August 1932: "[H]is presence was always felt by topnotchers [and regulars]. ... Paul Martin was a synonym for all that was clean and wholesome in the game.”
The above summary-type sentences are at the end of the "Life" heading in “Paul Martin (illustrator)." Is the spot for the period and ellipse mark correct? The quote from the original source is below. I thought it read, in part, somewhat awkward and wordy.

I'd ask this somewhere on Wikimedia commons, but I don't know if they have discussion spaces, and I imagine they're not super active. Feel free to point me there if this is the wrong place. There are a bunch of files on Wikimedia Commons that are listed as government works that are from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory website, which is a government contractor, and I think does not automatically release its images into the public domain. I found this CC-BY-NC-SA notice, which I think means the photos aren't in the public domain. I tagged those ( this and this one). The problem is, this geese image and this lab image got posted on the US DOE flickr account (which apparently exists) as "United states government works", which I infer are free from copyright (the lab image at least must be taken by an LLNL employee since it's in the lab). Does anyone know if I'm just wrong on how government contractor copyright works? Also, does that count as the DOE releasing the images? Mrfoogles ( talk) 05:33, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

I've been trying to fix up the issues on the passing (gender) article since it is tagged with multiple issues and was kind of a mess. I tried to fix some of the more obvious things like adding sources to unsourced info, removing fake sources and self-published stuff like personal blogs, and removing some weasel words. Since this is my first time doing a major clean up on an article, I was wondering if another editor could maybe look over it and let me know if it's ready to have the multiple issues tag removed and what else there is to correct if not.

So recently I noticed how weird it was that it was spelled "Parliament" and not "parliment" so went ahead a decided to do a search and fix pages that ussed the misspelling. The last result however ( Luke Akehurst) doesn't have any uses of the misspelling, and the text around the mispelling that appears in the search also doesn't exist. I checked in the references, the source text (as I am using visual editor), but still nothing. I even checked to see if it was edited recently and the search results just a lagging behind a bit. I still found nothing. Sorry if that's a little confusing, I don't have a great idea of how to explain this. Heres a link to the search: Link Gaismagorm ( talk) 13:50, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

I wanted to propose a change to a page with "Extended confirmed protection". I wrote down what I considered to be the problem, and suggested what needs to be changed
According to /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Edit_requests You
1. Propose a specific change on a talk page. Don't add an edit request template yet.
I described the reasons for the requested change and what needs to be changed very informally as a starting point of a discussion. I provided links to sources that supports the change.
Yet the entry in the talk page was immediately reverted with the motivation: "not formal edit request by non-ECU"
I then again provided the reasoning and the links, as well as the change in the format
Old Text
New Text
and now I got a threatening message that I will be reported to the administrators again referring to /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Edit_requests
I think the current entry is seriously misrepresenting the facts. It it not allowed to say so?
I can understand that an edit needs to be formatted in a certain way before it is accepted but reverting a talk page entry is a different matter.
I now got a message from the guy reverting "The absence of an edit template is the least concern. You are requesting for a massive shift of tone of the article which would require a more formal discussion and you would be barred from participating due to your non-extended confirmed status."
Is that a valid reason to revert a talk page contribution?
What is needed to get a discussion about a change started on such a page?

On the Norton 360 page, I added a {merge from} template linking to Norton 360 (2006-2014). Immediately afterwards, Merge bot made an edit prepending a `:` character to the link (i.e, [:Norton 360 (2006-2014)]). I have seen the colon used to link to a category without categorizing the page, but Merge bot's reasoning was "apparently Norton 360 (2006-2014) moved to :Norton 360 (2006–2014)".
What happened here? Is this a glitch with Merge bot, or is the article 'really' named with a `:` prepended, or some other use of that character I'm not aware of? Thanks :) Tule-hog ( talk) 21:23, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Many people who edit the English Wikipedia are very clearly not fluent English speakers. Given the vast and increasing articles-to-editors ratio, most of their errors never get fixed. And given Wikipedia's market dominance, it seems likely that the failure to correct basic language errors here will lead to a long term measurable degradation of the English language itself. I find it very strange that people edit an encyclopedia in a language they don't even speak well. I wonder why they do it, and whether other languages experience this too? Does the German Wikipedia, for example, contain very frequent errors introduced by people who don't speak German fluently? 79.32.96.217 ( talk) 18:18, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
will lead to a long term measurable degradation of the English language itself. From the oldest writing (excluding commercial and monumental texts) we have writers bemoaning the degradation of the language. That's how English happened. English has already changed in response to internationalisation, and one of the drivers for that is people who use it as a second or third language (see International English, for example). ColinFine ( talk) 18:28, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello. I’m specifically asking about pages such as the one for the Oslo II Accord. This page did not receive enough vandalism or disruptive editing to get protected until getting full ECP entirely because it was related to the Israel–Palestine conflict. Do arbitration procedures apply even in cases where nothing actually happened to the article and they just happened to be related to a contentious topic? If so, that is the most supremely dumb guideline on the entire website because you’re protecting a page based on the level of disruptive editing of other pages that may only be tangentially related. If I’m correct, then why is that guideline there in the first place? CharlieEdited ( talk) 01:11, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

A free illustration cannot be made, as it will infringe upon the original image. I am sorry, but that makes no sense.

Specifically Ship of the Line seems to lack inline citations. What template do I use? guninvalid ( talk) 17:41, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
I think this is a feature that must have just rolled out onto en-wiki. I've always been able to mouse over references before and see the reference without having to click on the footnote. Now, with "reference tooltips", I can still do that, and it's mostly the same, but the text is G I G A N T I C compared to everything else on the page. This is probably better for comprehending discursive footnotes, but I find it rather harder to read source footnotes, which are, well, 99.9%+ of the footnotes on wikipedia. I can turn off the feature using the new gear icon in the footnote tooltip, but the result is that NO references are visible on hover, rather than a return to the tooltips I used to have. Has anyone else noticed this? I suppose I could suppress it with custom CSS...? -- asilvering ( talk) 17:54, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi, while I was reading news I noticed that the article for Abraham_Hamadeh redirects to 2022_Arizona_Attorney_General_election#Republican_primary which I found odd, considering this person is a public figure and getting a substantial amount of attention. It seems like they may be the only one of the candidates in the current congressional race who doesn't have an article despite their media coverage which seems odd given they have had a public office prior and a lot of attention now. When I saw that, I thought about creating a start to the article and ran across the redirect.
I'm looking for guidance on how to proceed. I don't know what may have existed on the previous article (archive.org doesn't show anything) and would love to start editing from a previous version rather than creating from scratch.

Hello, I recently raised a WP:OWN concern on a page I had been edited lately the Antioch International Movement of Churches. I noticed 50% of the authorship edits on that page have been edited by a single editor since March. This editor uses speedy deletions/reverts, supposed BRD style edits, which I experienced and discouraged me. The editor is also very particular about approving edits. I am concerned this editor is exhibiting behaviors that appear to be possessive of this page. I assume good faith on this editor's part and don't really have any current disputes other than this. When I raised the OWN issue with the editor on the article's talk page, the editor did not reply. The editor eventually left a message on my user talk page telling me, it's not for the article's talk page, to WP:FOC, and talk to administrators about it on the appropriate boards. I reiterated WP:OWN says "An editor who appears to assume ownership of an article should be approached on the article's talk page with a descriptive header informing readers about the topic." and the concerns of overdoing possessive behaviors. Still, the editor did not respond further to the issue on the article's talk page nor elsewhere. What is the proper way to address this and what is the appropriate board to bring this concern to?

Premium Guard Inc[Founded in 1996, Premium Guard Inc. (PGI) specializes in oil, air, cabin, fuel, and transmission filters in the aftermarket automotive filtration industry. PGI has expanded its offerings to include heavy-duty, power sports, and specialty automotive applications, delivering a comprehensive service solution. History and Expansion[Established in New York City, Premium Guard Inc.’s focus from the start has been on providing a turnkey solution with wide application coverage and private label programs for all segments of the North American automotive aftermarket. PGI was initially established as International Distributors USA Inc., but in 2017, the company officially changed its name to Premium Guard Inc. (PGI). The new company name was derived from the company’s Premium Guard brand of automotive filters and supplies. In 2021, Premium Guard Inc. launched its first direct-to-consumer brand, PUREFLOW®, which focuses solely on breathable air at home and in your car. PUREFLOW's line of filtration products, such as automotive cabin air filters and home air filters, are engineered to capture airborne contaminants and allergens. In 2022, PUREFLOW® launched a patented air freshener for cars designed to fit onto a cabin air filter. In 2020, PGI acquired Tenneco's filters business, including its manufacturing facility in Tultitlan, Mexico, and the Interfil and Engine Clean brands. In 2022, PGI also acquired IPC Global Solutions (IPC), a supplier to the aftermarket's fast lube segment and the creator of the ECOGARD® brand of filtration products. References:[External Links:[ |

A retrospective in the Bronxville Press, August 1932: "[H]is presence was always felt by topnotchers [and regulars]. ... Paul Martin was a synonym for all that was clean and wholesome in the game.”
The above summary-type sentences are at the end of the "Life" heading in “Paul Martin (illustrator)." Is the spot for the period and ellipse mark correct? The quote from the original source is below. I thought it read, in part, somewhat awkward and wordy.

I'd ask this somewhere on Wikimedia commons, but I don't know if they have discussion spaces, and I imagine they're not super active. Feel free to point me there if this is the wrong place. There are a bunch of files on Wikimedia Commons that are listed as government works that are from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory website, which is a government contractor, and I think does not automatically release its images into the public domain. I found this CC-BY-NC-SA notice, which I think means the photos aren't in the public domain. I tagged those ( this and this one). The problem is, this geese image and this lab image got posted on the US DOE flickr account (which apparently exists) as "United states government works", which I infer are free from copyright (the lab image at least must be taken by an LLNL employee since it's in the lab). Does anyone know if I'm just wrong on how government contractor copyright works? Also, does that count as the DOE releasing the images? Mrfoogles ( talk) 05:33, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

I wanted to propose a change to a page with "Extended confirmed protection". I wrote down what I considered to be the problem, and suggested what needs to be changed
According to /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Edit_requests You
1. Propose a specific change on a talk page. Don't add an edit request template yet.
I described the reasons for the requested change and what needs to be changed very informally as a starting point of a discussion. I provided links to sources that supports the change.
Yet the entry in the talk page was immediately reverted with the motivation: "not formal edit request by non-ECU"
I then again provided the reasoning and the links, as well as the change in the format
Old Text
New Text
and now I got a threatening message that I will be reported to the administrators again referring to /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Edit_requests
I think the current entry is seriously misrepresenting the facts. It it not allowed to say so?
I can understand that an edit needs to be formatted in a certain way before it is accepted but reverting a talk page entry is a different matter.
I now got a message from the guy reverting "The absence of an edit template is the least concern. You are requesting for a massive shift of tone of the article which would require a more formal discussion and you would be barred from participating due to your non-extended confirmed status."
Is that a valid reason to revert a talk page contribution?
What is needed to get a discussion about a change started on such a page?

On the Norton 360 page, I added a {merge from} template linking to Norton 360 (2006-2014). Immediately afterwards, Merge bot made an edit prepending a `:` character to the link (i.e, [:Norton 360 (2006-2014)]). I have seen the colon used to link to a category without categorizing the page, but Merge bot's reasoning was "apparently Norton 360 (2006-2014) moved to :Norton 360 (2006–2014)".
What happened here? Is this a glitch with Merge bot, or is the article 'really' named with a `:` prepended, or some other use of that character I'm not aware of? Thanks :) Tule-hog ( talk) 21:23, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

I am not a very experienced editor/translator, and whenever i try to publish the translation, i cannot due so due to the automatic vandalism detection. I am not doing vandalism!! it provides this message: " Automatic edit filters have identified problematic content in your translation. Filter hit: Yolo swag and other vandalism trends ". I don't know what the 'yolo swag' bit means, those words arent used in my translation https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Huntsmcgee/Gyat Huntsmcgee ( talk) 02:33, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

My article has been tagged ,<discuss whether to delete or not>. What does it mean? Junurita ( talk) 03:27, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Many people who edit the English Wikipedia are very clearly not fluent English speakers. Given the vast and increasing articles-to-editors ratio, most of their errors never get fixed. And given Wikipedia's market dominance, it seems likely that the failure to correct basic language errors here will lead to a long term measurable degradation of the English language itself. I find it very strange that people edit an encyclopedia in a language they don't even speak well. I wonder why they do it, and whether other languages experience this too? Does the German Wikipedia, for example, contain very frequent errors introduced by people who don't speak German fluently? 79.32.96.217 ( talk) 18:18, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
will lead to a long term measurable degradation of the English language itself. From the oldest writing (excluding commercial and monumental texts) we have writers bemoaning the degradation of the language. That's how English happened. English has already changed in response to internationalisation, and one of the drivers for that is people who use it as a second or third language (see International English, for example).

Many people who edit the English Wikipedia are very clearly not fluent English speakers"? Keeping in mind that native speakers of English are just as, if not more, likely to make minor typographic errors than people who learned English later in life. -- D'n'B- t -- 18:31, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
Hello, Recently I've created my first wiki page which got declined first about 22 days ago and since then I've implemented some recommended changes. I would value a lot if you could please have a look into it and let me know if you see anything that would need more work and improvement so I can make sure page gets published when it has a second review. This is the link to it: /info/en/?search=Draft:Mark_Kotter
Thank you in advance for your guidance and support.

Hi, I am reaching out with a huge request for help in making the proper changes to the article about Dr. Andrew Pohorille. He was a founder of astrobiology at NASA and passed away on January 6, 2024. Pohorille was a pioneer in the field of modeling the origin of life (OoL), developing computer simulations of biomolecular systems, models of genetic and metabolic networks, and research on the statistical mechanics of condensed phases. His wife asked me to commemorate his life's work and include information about him. https://astrobiology.nasa.gov/news/in-memoriam-andrzej-pohorille/. I would be grateful for your help and support. I'll really appreciate for help with that. Aleksandra6617 ( talk) 13:47, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello. I’m specifically asking about pages such as the one for the Oslo II Accord. This page did not receive enough vandalism or disruptive editing to get protected until getting full ECP entirely because it was related to the Israel–Palestine conflict. Do arbitration procedures apply even in cases where nothing actually happened to the article and they just happened to be related to a contentious topic? If so, that is the most supremely dumb guideline on the entire website because you’re protecting a page based on the level of disruptive editing of other pages that may only be tangentially related. If I’m correct, then why is that guideline there in the first place? CharlieEdited ( talk) 01:11, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

I am planning an edit-a-thon for electronic literature that will be in person at several locations and together in zoom. Do you have any advice for that? What has worked well and what should I avoid? Can multiple people edit the same article at the same time?

The clean up bot on WP:ELIT suggests
Janet Murray - Wikipedia Janet Murray October 2019 Unsourced passages need footnotes citation needed (October 2019) But this article has been improved since then. I did not find a citation needed? How would I tell the clean up bot that this article is ok? Thanks! LoveElectronicLiterature ( talk) 15:59, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
Murray’s work has been referenced by game designers, interactive television producers, filmmakers, and journalists.[citation needed].CommissarDoggo Talk? 16:04, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose.RudolfRed ( talk) 15:55, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
A free illustration cannot be made, as it will infringe upon the original image. I am sorry, but that makes no sense. Well-known buildings get photographed all the time, and a new photo does not infringe on earlier photos of the same building. If you want a photo of that restaurant, go to San Francisco and take it. Or ask an editor in or near San Francisco to take one. Cullen328 ( talk) 17:35, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
Specifically Ship of the Line seems to lack inline citations. What template do I use? guninvalid ( talk) 17:41, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
I think this is a feature that must have just rolled out onto en-wiki. I've always been able to mouse over references before and see the reference without having to click on the footnote. Now, with "reference tooltips", I can still do that, and it's mostly the same, but the text is G I G A N T I C compared to everything else on the page. This is probably better for comprehending discursive footnotes, but I find it rather harder to read source footnotes, which are, well, 99.9%+ of the footnotes on wikipedia. I can turn off the feature using the new gear icon in the footnote tooltip, but the result is that NO references are visible on hover, rather than a return to the tooltips I used to have. Has anyone else noticed this? I suppose I could suppress it with custom CSS...? -- asilvering ( talk) 17:54, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
