We are creating a new Wikipedia entry on Kimberly Young and have started with a stub entry.
Is it possible to redirect users to the 'Kimberly Young' stub if they search for, and find themselves at, 'Kimberly young' with the lower case 'y?'
We're also having trouble finding good sources of information on Kimberly Young. There is an abundance of biographical information she has written herself but we're struggling to find much else that can help start this entry other than what's already in our reference list. Is anyone else is interested in helping us build this stub into a full article?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tom Catterall and NickBushell ( talk) 11:33, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
#REDIRECT [[Kimberly Young]]When you get redirected, you'll see a little message saying "redirected from (pagename)" at the top of the page you end up on; it'll give you a link you can click on to see what the redirect looks like. Really, though, I wouldn't worry about redirects; it's usually not necessary to create them proactively unless there is an alternate term for the article's subject (such as how Sultan of Swat redirects to Babe Ruth), there are complicated characters in the title that you can't type easily (like how Pele redirects to Pelé), or the title is very easy to misspell. The redirect information page I linked above has some more specific guidelines on when redirects are necessary and when they're not. Hope this helps! Writ Keeper ⚇ ♔ 14:04, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
How do I know if a subject is important enough to grant itself a new wiki page or to make it a sub topic.

I added several new user boxes but am unsure on how to include the right code so that they automatically include users in the category page. I want users who use the userbox to be included on the category page but how do I make this happen. For instance, when I include the userbox from Wikipedia:WikiProject Medicine, it automatically sorts anyone who chooses to use that userbox on the category page. How do I do this for the new userboxes I have created? Wikiworld2 ( talk) 22:21, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

There seems to be an unclear message about uploading PDFs to Wikipedia. I would like to use two documents for the article about April Masini ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Masini) but it is noted by editors that I should not use PDFs. I've seen a handful of articles that use PDFs as references, and am confused as to why I should not upload them. Can anyone help clarify? Thank you! GMHayes ( talk) 01:14, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi, Teahouse! I've been editing for a month or two now, and I think I've got the hang of how to address most common issues that pages have. I am having trouble, however, with articles that have the "orphan" tag, i.e. ones that are not linked to by other articles. Is there a quicker way than manually searching for related articles and introducing links into them? This just doesn't seem like the simplest way to do it. Thanks for your help! Fred.Pendleton ( talk) 22:39, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the swift help, both of you. Somehow I'd convinced myself that the process is way more complicated than it actually is. Your help, in conjunction with Wikipedia:Orphan, has helped me to familiarize myself with the de-orphaning process. Cheers! Fred.Pendleton ( talk) 23:56, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
Ok! This question is for female contributors to Wikipedia - new and experienced! This month is Women's History Month: have you edited any articles related to inspiring women recently that you'd like to share? Or is there a woman who has a Wikipedia article that inspires you? For me, I worked with another editor to make Louise Nevelson a good article a while ago, she's one of my favorite artists and was quite a cool and eccentric woman. What about you? :) SarahStierch ( talk) 23:18, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi, As part of a university module we are tasked to create a Wikipedia article. I have written the article but our tutor has told us that we must be aware of typical wikipedia styles that must use.

I've been trying to upload files but the first one got a speedy deletion nomination and the second one will be deleted due to file permission problem.

A few thousand articles have my pictures, and I make it easy by following two rules:
There are experienced editors who have carefully studied the ins and outs so they can upload great numbers of pictures that others made, and many who defend some of their own rights. Too much bother for too little benefit, for me. Jim.henderson ( talk) 12:13, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
Hello Teahouse! I've hit a roadblock with my article. It was once deleted because there were no verifiable resources, and a contest of "notability" but after my contest to have the page "undeleted" I was able to work on it under "User: GMHayes4/April Masini. I checked all the references, and had the page reviewed by multiple Wikipedia editors. I moved the page to stand alone because all of the references are verifiable, and the language on the page is objective.
I do not understand why I can not recreate the page, especially when I was given permission to do so with the "Userfied" version and it's a darn good page (in my humble opinion). Can I rename the page? It is also not showing up in "My Contributions" which is disconcerting, given the hours I've put into making the article a good one. What should I do now?
I've sent a message to reverse the decision to the editor that deleted the page; and submitted a request to the deletion review. GMHayes ( talk) 15:15, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
Thanks, Writ Keeper! I'm not taking the edit personally, I just didn't know what to do since Fastily's going to be out for a while, you know? By the way, I looked on my preferences page but I do not see the "editcount" you mention. I checked each tab but is there a specific one I can find to locate my previous edits? Thanks so much for your help (I was going a little bonkers). GMHayes ( talk) 18:22, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the help you guys. I'm not offended, just confused because I followed the guidelines and worked on the page for a couple months. I guess I just have to exercise patience. I really appreciate the help!!! GMHayes ( talk) 18:22, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
I'm not sure how to show the improvements since they're all on the deleted page... the previously deleted page (from the initial delete) and the one I created are like night and day. Should I provide links and citations to the references I used in my revamped article to the deletion review? GMHayes ( talk) 18:22, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
AWESOME! (*sigh of relief * wipes sweat from brow*) That makes me feel a whole lot better; and I'll keep editing because somehow it was left out of the guidelines that Wikipedia can be habit forming -_^ Thank you both for your help!

Hi everyone. I am new to Wikipedia and I would like some help from some of you gurus out there. I'm currently working on the Online auction page as part of a University assignment and would greatly appreciate if some of the more versed of you out there could take a quick look at what's been done so far and criticise/provide feedback on what is required and what more needs to be done and perhaps how better to structure the entry.
I'd also like to say thanks for the emails and invitations I received to join in at the teahouse. So, thanks in advance to anyone who can lend a hand and thanks for the invitations! Craigjp88 ( talk) 18:39, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

This note is written with an automatic translator because I write very badly in English (désolé pour ma langue anglaise, je parle pas beaucoup l'anglais). I find no welcome and no reception in the projects: no welcome of the members to me in the projects WikiProject Ice Hockey, Wikipedia:WikiProject, Canadian sport WikiProject Quebec, WikiProject Montreal and Women's Wikipedia:WikiProject sport. Not even a small notes of support for a new member. Be it so the coolness of the human relations on your Wikipedia ???

Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm new to Wikipedia. Earlier I submitted an article on Adam Joinson for review. I have since received comments back about inline style references but are unsure what that means or how to create them. I have added a reference tag after the text I wish to site and have a reflist at the end, but not sure if that's correct. I've had a look at the Referencing for beginners, however I still don't understand. If anyone could help or explain, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks SarahAStewart ( talk) 14:16, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
I've been working on a page "Graham Ludlow" and there is a warning on it posted by another editor. But I have read the article and find it to be completely from a neutral POV. I also went in and fixed a couple of dead links with live ones. How do we get this warning removed if we don't agree with it? And how will my edits fix the dead links? Thanks!
RandySWT1 ( talk) 00:20, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
Thanks so much for your help, Sarah! I removed the tag on the article since it had no faults or problems with POV or COI in my estimation. Also, editor Viriditas had done a lot of work on the article (after it had been tagged) to make sure it was properly developed. Looks good! RandySWT1 ( talk) 22:38, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
The links were in the references section, and have now been adjusted, Trevj. Thanks! RandySWT1 ( talk) 22:38, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

I moved the page to stand alone because all of the references are verifiable, and the language on the page is objective.
I do not understand why I can not recreate the page, especially when I was given permission to do so with the "Userfied" version and it's a darn good page (in my humble opinion). Can I rename the page? It is also not showing up in "My Contributions" which is disconcerting, given the hours I've put into making the article a good one. What should I do now?
I've sent a message to reverse the decision to the editor that deleted the page; and submitted a request to the deletion review. GMHayes ( talk) 15:15, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
Thanks, Writ Keeper! I'm not taking the edit personally, I just didn't know what to do since Fastily's going to be out for a while, you know? By the way, I looked on my preferences page but I do not see the "editcount" you mention. I checked each tab but is there a specific one I can find to locate my previous edits? Thanks so much for your help (I was going a little bonkers). GMHayes ( talk) 18:22, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the help you guys. I'm not offended, just confused because I followed the guidelines and worked on the page for a couple months. I guess I just have to exercise patience. I really appreciate the help!!! GMHayes ( talk) 18:22, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
I'm not sure how to show the improvements since they're all on the deleted page... the previously deleted page (from the initial delete) and the one I created are like night and day. Should I provide links and citations to the references I used in my revamped article to the deletion review? GMHayes ( talk) 18:22, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
AWESOME! (*sigh of relief * wipes sweat from brow*) That makes me feel a whole lot better; and I'll keep editing because somehow it was left out of the guidelines that Wikipedia can be habit forming -_^ Thank you both for your help! GMHayes ( talk) 18:37, 19 March 2012 (UTC) Thank you so much for your help! My page has been restored. I look forward to contributing more edits and articles!

Hi everyone. I am new to Wikipedia and I would like some help from some of you gurus out there. I'm currently working on the Online auction page as part of a University assignment and would greatly appreciate if some of the more versed of you out there could take a quick look at what's been done so far and criticise/provide feedback on what is required and what more needs to be done and perhaps how better to structure the entry.
I'd also like to say thanks for the emails and invitations I received to join in at the teahouse. So, thanks in advance to anyone who can lend a hand and thanks for the invitations! Craigjp88 ( talk) 18:39, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
Hey everyone! quick question, how long should i make a section before it should really be its own page or is it okay to have any length of my topic area on a general topic page? Any help is appreciated. Regards -- JackMayhew ( talk) 13:48, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
Also, if anyone could take a look at the Company section of this page as this is the part i have edited. Would be good to get some feedback and critisism on my style and writing:

This note is written with an automatic translator because I write very badly in English (désolé pour ma langue anglaise, je parle pas beaucoup l'anglais). I find no welcome and no reception in the projects: no welcome of the members to me in the projects WikiProject Ice Hockey, Wikipedia:WikiProject, Canadian sport WikiProject Quebec, WikiProject Montreal and Women's Wikipedia:WikiProject sport. Not even a small notes of support for a new member. Be it so the coolness of the human relations on your Wikipedia ??? (il faut dire que ce n'était guère mieux dans le wikipédia francophone côté relations humaines pour les nouveaux membres mais désolé ce n'est pas vraiment l'endroit ici autour d'un bon thé pour faire des comparaisons avec le wiki francophone - ( Fred Bauder va encore sévir sur mes écrits - merci Fred pour ton travail de censure )).
Be it as well as the men ( and women) live? Es ainsi que les humains vivent ?
Je me sens très seul : pas même un seul petit mot de bienvenu des membres envers moi dans les projets WikiProject Ice Hockey, ,Wikipedia:WikiProject Canadian sport WikiProject Quebec, WikiProject Montreal et Wikipedia:WikiProject Women's sport. Pas même un petit mot de support. Es ce ainsi la froideur des relations humaines sur Wikipedia. Un univers froid sans fraternité pour les nouveaux membres .... Sommes nous blasés d'un peu d'humanité, de mots de courtoisie et de fraternité. Je vous pose la question -- Vieux supporteur de hockey féminin ( talk) 16:33, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
Merci c'est gentil. I had no message of active persons as the projects ice hockey and Women's sport. Read the page of discussion of there projects ' it is very activate but they do not worry about new member. Have to I go to the basketball ? or volleyball ? or natation ? or je ne sais pas trop quoi ??? Wikipedia perd des nouveaux contributeurs par son manque de convivialité - il faudrait plutôt travailler sur les vieux membres actifs que sur les nouveaux membres -- Vieux supporteur de hockey féminin ( talk) 19:55, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm new to Wikipedia. Earlier I submitted an article on Adam Joinson for review. I have since received comments back about inline style references but are unsure what that means or how to create them. I have added a reference tag after the text I wish to site and have a reflist at the end, but not sure if that's correct. I've had a look at the Referencing for beginners, however I still don't understand. If anyone could help or explain, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks SarahAStewart ( talk) 14:16, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
I've been working on a page "Graham Ludlow" and there is a warning on it posted by another editor. But I have read the article and find it to be completely from a neutral POV. I also went in and fixed a couple of dead links with live ones. How do we get this warning removed if we don't agree with it? And how will my edits fix the dead links? Thanks!

Thanks so much for your help, Sarah! I removed the tag on the article since it had no faults or problems with POV or COI in my estimation. Also, editor Viriditas had done a lot of work on the article (after it had been tagged) to make sure it was properly developed. Looks good! RandySWT1 ( talk) 22:38, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
The links were in the references section, and have now been adjusted, Trevj. Thanks! RandySWT1 ( talk) 22:38, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
