Good day, I am a new contributor and my knowledge of things here are limited. I'm writing about Peruvian art and artists and I have several books that I am using as sources. I tried to link to categories that already exist but when I do this a new page appears as if the category was new and my link to the category does not work. I received a message as deleting the category, but I was just trying to add the categories and did not know how to add them. Then I deleted it because it did not look right. How do I do add the category? Thank you for the help. Sincerely Veronica Cruzalegui. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VeronicaCruzalegui ( talk • contribs)

I'm translating some material in the French Wikipedia to an English Wikipedia article. There are a fair number of footnote references, which should display fine and don't need translating, but the French language Citation template parameters aren't recognized in English. Is there some way to write the markup code to signal begin/end of French Citation reference parameters instead of having to translate each parameter?

I worked on article that was tagged 'The neutrality of this article is disputed.' in October 2013. I've since edited the disputed section, as have other authors.
The article in question is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xsyon
I've attempted to contact the editor that tagged the page, but he seems to be busy and I have not received a response. My last attempt to contact the editor was on March 13 2015 on his talk page.
How can I get the section of the page reviewed and the neutrality dispute tag removed?

Recently, someone deleted a sorority from the list of List of LGBT and LGBT-friendly fraternities and sororities with the rationale that it is not notable enough to have a wikipedia article. When I questioned it, they pointed me to the talk page saying that the criteria is listed there. All I can find there is a post saying to abide by the criteria set forth in the lead...which does not contain any criteria. If there is criteria set up for the article, it should be more obvious. Maybe it's just me and I'm too much of a dumb dumb to find it, but I think it should be laid out a little more clearly.
Also, I disagree with the criteria that the article should only contain organizations that have wikipedia articles. Typically, that critieria is only used when there are hundreds of possible entries and you have a need to limit it. At most, there may be a handful of LGBT organizations so there is no reason to limit it like that. The list of social fraternities and sororities doesn't even limit it like that. Anyway, no one is apparently manning the article, so I'd love some additional feedback to gain consensus on this. Bali88 ( talk) 13:43, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
My father, William Atcheson Stewart, died in 1990. He has a brief bio on Wikipedia and on other sites that have relied on Wikipedia. His date of birth has been incorrectly shown. I tried to edit but that edit was rejected. I have a copy of his Funeral Director's Proof of Death - I was his Estate Executor and all documents were filed with correct DOB. He was born February 26, 1915 and NOT February 15, 1915 as being shown. How can I correct this? Slingerg ( talk) 18:19, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
I am trying to compose my first article (a biography of civil servant and writer who died in 1973). I have 3 photographs, all over 50 years old, provided by his children: (1) A public ceremony at which he is being awarded an honorary degree; (2) At his desk ca. 1935; and (3) With a famous person ca. 1935. I tried making my way through WikiCommons but short of taking time off to get a law degree I couldn't get past the copyright law stuff. Is there an easy way to upload these photos?

Need to block an article about myself) and the statement
I am a freelancer otherwise but managing personal communication info on the net for a very dear childhood friend who s a public figureseem to imply that you are either Pritam Singh or someone closely connected to him. If either is true, then you may have what is called a conflict of interest, or COI, with the subject of the article and, therefore, should be careful about editing it. Although COI is not expressly prohibited on Wikipedia, it is something that is highly discouraged because COI editors often have a hard time maintaining a neutral point of view. It might be a good idea for you to read advice for editors who may have a conflict of interest and Wikipedia's pretty simple conflict of interest guide for reference so that you understand which kinds of COI editing is typically considered acceptable.

I am in the process of updating an article that includes erroneous and false information. I have spent the last two days cleaning this article and adding additional information with creditable references to confirm my edits. I complete 80% of my edits and it is later reverted back to the original.
The article was fine tuned to paint a more favorable picture of a biography, which such shuold be the case of anyone who has editors who purposely paint a more negative picture. Because most of the content is erroneous, and the rewrites include the errors with references to support the changes, why would anyone want to revert it back to the original less favorable article, unless it is personal and biased. I just joined this on behalf of the person being highlighted and need to know the protocol for filing a complaint after the edits were done in good faith. The article that was written before my rewrites are untrue and plays on words.
I am trying to find these answers before I continue editing this article. If it is pointless to edit, I need to know that as well and ask why would Wikipedia not allow a subject to correct his image.
Thank you. Genesis20 78 ( talk) 21:52, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
have been asked to rewritethe article, but it's not clear by whom. This could give others the impression that you have an apparent COI. You might find the information in Wikipedia's pretty simple conflict of interest guide and advice for editors who may have a conflict of interest to be helpful in explaining what type of COI editing is generally considered to be OK and what to do if you find incorrect information has been added to the article. If, by chance, you are being paid to edit the article, then you might want to take a look at Wikipedia's position on paid editing.

14:40, 15 April 2015 (UTC)Hello again. On the article, North Carolina Council of State elections, 2004, I recently changed what appeared to be some weasel wording. However, I do not know the correct term, or terms, for what the winner of an election did compared to the loser. I used 'beat' and 'defeat' (separately), assuming that these are correct terms. Can somebody please clarify this? Rubbish computer ( talk) 16:04, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello, Leximaven, and welcome to the Teahouse. Actually, those two drafts have not been submitted for review. When you are ready, you should add {{subst:submit}} to the top of the page and save. However, neither one is ready to be added to the encyclopedia at this time. To show that your subjects are well enough known to warrant an encyclopedia article, and also to confirm the information, you have to add multiple specific references to reliable independent sources, such as news reports, magazine articles or books about them.

How does the "warning" message at the top of a single sourced article get removed: "This article relies entirely upon a single source, the National Register Information System (NRIS) database or one of its mirrors. Articles based solely on the NRIS may contain errors. Please help ensure the accuracy of the information in this article by citing at least one more reliable source. (November 2013)"
The article I am updating must have been created by someone associated with the National Register. I am in the process of adding additional information and have added another outside source, as well as links with other wiki pages.
Does the message automatically get removed or is there a special process?

Hi, teahouse.

Hi Teahouse. As part of a cleanup to improve notability I recently moved the entry of Emilio Sanchez Font to Emilio Sanchez. However I left the a accent on Sanchez which interferes with wikipedia links and some search engines. Is there a way to delete the accent without moving it again? The artist himself never use the accent. /info/en/?search=Emilio_S%C3%A1nchez_%28artist%29 Thanks! HeatherBlack ( talk) 13:49, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

Adaptive Behavior may also be affected by mechanisms in the brain that lead to addiction.

14:40, 15 April 2015 (UTC)Hello again. On the article, North Carolina Council of State elections, 2004, I recently changed what appeared to be some weasel wording. However, I do not know the correct term, or terms, for what the winner of an election did compared to the loser. I used 'beat' and 'defeat' (separately), assuming that these are correct terms. Can somebody please clarify this? Rubbish computer ( talk) 16:04, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
Thank you @ Jayron32:. I used 'defeat' as it seemed to be more suitable for defeating a challenge or opponent. Rubbish computer ( talk) 16:17, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
hello! what should a person do if their personal information is not properly represented on wikipedia? What is the link? Thank you! Annalynnehurtgen ( talk) 06:06, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
Hello party people! I was looking at the page Niji Iro Elementary and I see it is flagged for notability, which seems appropriate, since it's an elementary school, but I also see that most of the entry relates to another, predecessor school. I am new to wikipedia editing. What can or should I do about that? WhateverHappenedToBabyJane ( talk) 15:51, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

On my contributions, [2] the time I edited at is an hour before when I did so and this appears to be a general problem with my UTC. My time zone is GMT. Please advise. Rubbish computer ( talk) 17:25, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
@ Arjayay: Apologies! I unfortunately thought that UTC was internet slang for Your time zone. Rubbish computer ( talk) 20:06, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
I would like to ask for help with editing a draft of an article /info/en/?search=Draft:Orbis_Pictus_Play The article was deleted in the past, so I try to improve it and would like to re-submit it. References have been added to the text but I feel the tone of the article could still be worked on. As I am a beginner, I would like to ask for help with improving this draft, thank you.

Hello! It's been quite some time since I added a couple entries to the site back in March and they haven't yet been published. Can anyone advice on what may be wrong or missing?
Page 1: /info/en/?search=Draft:Peter_Tourian Page 2: /info/en/?search=Draft:SYNERGY_HomeCare_Franchising,_LLC
Since submitting, I've been a regular contributor, though I admit my edits have been on the sparse side as most of what I would edit has been already contributed, but I am trying.
Thanks so much, -A.

Hello, Leximaven, and welcome to the Teahouse. Actually, those two drafts have not been submitted for review. When you are ready, you should add {{subst:submit}} to the top of the page and save. However, neither one is ready to be added to the encyclopedia at this time. To show that your subjects are well enough known to warrant an encyclopedia article, and also to confirm the information, you have to add multiple specific references to reliable independent sources, such as news reports, magazine articles or books about them.

It is about Erik Verlinde se: /info/en/?search=Talk:Erik_Verlinde Its very interesting about dark matter. (exsist or not) But I am not good in English. Who can write this? Jan Duimel ( talk) 20:08, 15 April 2015 (UTC)
How does the "warning" message at the top of a single sourced article get removed: "This article relies entirely upon a single source, the National Register Information System (NRIS) database or one of its mirrors. Articles based solely on the NRIS may contain errors. Please help ensure the accuracy of the information in this article by citing at least one more reliable source. (November 2013)"
The article I am updating must have been created by someone associated with the National Register. I am in the process of adding additional information and have added another outside source, as well as links with other wiki pages.
Does the message automatically get removed or is there a special process?
Thank you!Museum2015 02:28, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
I have never worked in the format before, but find it is not too daunting...said the person who was going to add a photo. Museum2015 03:07, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

I would like to learn how to add images to an article.
Hi, teahouse.
I was researching an article on Austin, TX and noticed that one of it's iconic buildings is poorly represented by an image. I've contacted the architecture firm and have a better image (building is on the Texas drivers' license, marathon metals and other memorabilia). Can I replace an image? Or at least add a new one?
