I have noticed that a large number of film articles make use of non-free images such as posters and DVD covers without proper licensing or issues. I attempted to do the same for an article, however the item was quickly deleted despite my use rationale and attempts to justify the picture's use. I understand that for copyright reasons these images are precariously used, but I would like to know just how so many articles are able to use such images without permission and whether I am simply putting in the wrong details when it comes to writing about the license and use?

I was of the impression the minimum threshold guideline for receiving the permission was 50, but it says on the Autopatrolled page this is 25, a change not suggested by any discussion on the talk page. Which is it? Thanks, Rubbish computer ( HALP!: I dropped the bass?) 16:48, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
I would like to offer to my fellow Wikipedians to have a look at the sketch of the following idea: AN ANNUAL COMPETITION IN PHOTOGRAPHY AMONG WIKIPEDIANS ONLY, and to consider a possibility to turn this sketch into a working project by ideas, suggestions and constructive criticism, or to offer a better plan to solve the “problem”.
The thing is, that many articles (as I have noticed) on various subjects of science can be illustrated in much more interesting, expressive way, in better quality and, what is even more important, in stronger connection to the essence of the subject; that’s why I propose to hold a competition in photography for (as a first step) the science articles.
It is necessary to stress here, that the appearance of the new photos in the articles is getting less attention of the Editors, than the appearance of the new articles, that is why good texts are bit by bit being filled with obscure and sometimes confounding photos, which often does not correspond to the current level of photography and doesn't reflect the latest scientific concepts and achievements.
The proposed competition could attract a focused attention to the articles of all participants, what will help to improve the quality of edited photos, and the winners will become a Wiki’s known and recognized experts, as each winning photo should be marked by the symbol of the win —Wiki-medal; thus, the winners will be able to give valuable advice to those, who need it, and to help the beginners to join future competitions, being better prepared.
Each day really gigantic number of people are approaching each Wiki page, and especially articles about science, such as palaeontology, astronomy, geology, etc...
For many of the readers these articles are the only immediately available source of information they have, and illustrations are incredibly important, as they act here as the “windows” to the World of Science, and this wonderful world should be presented correctly and interestingly.
I believe, that many Wikipedians can offer high quality photos of their own work for each of selected by Editors topics (articles). Those who are not interested in photography, could participate as the creators of designs for Wiki-medals, or to vote for the best 3 photos on each topic.
As the purpose of the competition, in the first place, is to improve a quality of the illustration of the articles, it will be appropriate to have competition without 1-2-3 places, but with selection of 3 best photos for each article, and prize the winners, for example, in category Chemistry, by 3 Wiki-medals of the same, ‘chemistry’ design, but in category Astronomy — by 3 Wiki-medals of the different design, created specially for the article Astronomy, and so on.
Every next year Editors could offer, let's say 4 (probable, it will be the optimal number) new different subjects for competition and 4 designs of Wiki-medal. Designs should reflect the assents of the subjects by its symbols. All designs, being different, should be contained in the chosen shape, which remains constant. On my page I presented an example of 4 designs of Wiki-medals for the best illustration of the following articles: Chemistry, Geology, Mineralogy, Gemmology.
It doesn't mean at all, that I wish to suggest to narrow down the Photography Competition to some single category, as for example, the illustration of science articles, or wider—to narrow down competitions to Photography only.
There’s an endless variety of the possible types of brilliant competitions and only the will and creative ideas of Wikipedians are needed for their development.
I’m offering to take Photography Competition under consideration just as a first step, and if it will be found by Wikipedians, as the positive step, then the advice, recommendations and suggestions of the experienced and willing to help Wikipedians will be absolutely essential and invaluable, as there are a lot of questions here, for example: how to organize the competition technically?
Whether it is possible to create a special contest page? In what form shall Editors vote for the best photos? And many more.
But the first question - what Wikipedians think about this proposal?
Thank you.

...if Wikipedia saves all versions of images? For example, I've seen images being compressed losslessly, but the original copy is still kept. Say an 1MB image being losslessly compressed to a 900KB image, but both copies are kept, thus the actual disk space used would be 1MB+900KB. Just Curious.

I am editing an infobox template.

data# = [[{ { { country| } } }]]
ought to work, but I'm not sure how an empty value is handled here. If you want to handle cases whre the displayed name of a country is not the same as the article title to link to, you might need to introduce a country_link= parameter and have the template output [[{{{country_link}}}|{{{country}}}]]
IF country_link is non-empty. (that would be done with an #IF parser function).data# = {{#if:{{{country|}}}|[[{{{country}}}]]|{{{country}}} }}
data# = {{#if:{{{country|}}}|[[{{{country}}}]]}}
I have been slowly putting together an article that I believe to be notably sourced, including published articles written by others in the publishing industry. However when I requested approval it was rejected. But a comparable article about another company, with citations that are clearly PR was allowed. I've never been able to get a clear answer on why.

@ GrammarFascist, Cullen328, DESiegel, and Starbomb is awesome: While caution should always be exercised on the Internet, the Template:Infobox Wikipedia user, currently used by over 4400 editors, contains options for photo and many other personal data. The template has been in use for nine years, so I assume that the parameters have been vetted and deemed appropriate and within the guidelines of the WP. I have seen this template on many new editor pages since it is easy to use and resembles what people are used to in social media. Best, w.carter -Talk 09:04, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
Hello,
I am new here, and am trying to create an article for a World sporting event. However, it was flagged for speedy deletion. I don't know why, the info was all factual, it wasn't "sales-y" and certainly not spammy or inaccurate. It was an event that reached 700,000 people on Facebook and continues to be very popular, so it's not like it's a "made up entity". Here it is: /info/en/?search=World_Figure_Championship
Any advice on how to fix it up (and how to get rid of this tag) so it is not a candidate for speedy deletion would be great! :) I read the info but don't quite understand. Lakeplacidskater ( talk) 03:34, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

. You were also attempting to place various things you see in other articles by a "homemade" method. For example a table of contents is automatically generated (when an article has four or more
sections) – that is, you don't make one, the software does. Best regards--

Sprucegrouse ( talk) 15:32, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
[[Target]]
. Don't over-do this. If an article includes a phrase like "The door of the house was painted green." it is not helpful to link "
door", as that would be of use to most readers. You can also find and add additional reliable sources if any are available, but the sources already present are probably sufficient. The formatting can be improved a bit, for example, titles of works should be in italics such as The Daily Argosy (not just The Daily Argosy). When you think it is ready for formal review, place {{subst:submit}}
(without the nowiki and code tags) at the top of the page. There is no need to move the draft, if it is approved the reviewer will do that for you.

The originating unregistered editor requested, at the Help Desk, a review of Draft:Snow Bowl (2008). I neither declined nor accepted, but used the Comment feature to ask questions that, in my view, involved notability. The unregistered editor has now asked me to explain in the article draft and on their talk page at more length. Since this forum is the usual place for discussing declined drafts, I am asking for the opinion of other reviewers and experienced editors here. It isn't clear from the draft why the game is notable as a Snow Bowl, because there is nothing unusual about playing American football in light snow under slightly-below-freezing conditions. Maybe I should have done a lot more research into when there should be articles about individual post-season games before the Super Bowl. In any case, I am asking for comments by other editors here.

/info/en/?search=Lanny I believe this should be a disambiguation page, but i can't change the title CokeAndVodka ( talk) 17:44, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
However, if 92% [for example] of all people who type a term or phrase into the search engine are looking for only one of four topics by the same title, it would inconvenience many more people to have to "click twice" if the base term led to a disambiguation page. So the article on that much-more-likely-to-be-searched-for topic (the "primary topic") is at the base name, the disambiguation page is given a title with "(disambiguation)" added (and a hatnote is added at the top of the primary topic base page directing the other 8% to the disambiguation page). Make sense? Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 18:11, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
I declined Draft:Bukarester FC at Articles for Creation, and have been asked by User:Alexiulian25 on my talk page why I declined it. As I explained in my decline, I didn't see adequate evidence of notability, including that it wasn't clear that the team met the fully professional standards of WP:NFOOTY. (I realize that those rules are primarily meant for players, but I was using them for a team also.) The submitter says that the team is notable, but there isn't a whole lot of information on it because it only existed a few years before it folded during World War One. I realize that means that there is a shortage of reliably sourced independent coverage. I also noted that the article would require heavy copy-editing for grammar. What is the opinion of other reviewers and experienced editors? Was I justified in asking the author to include more information, such as at least a clear statement that the team was in Liga, and was I justified in expecting the submitter to request the heavy copy-editing before submission?

Hello, I've been working hard on getting the article Draft:Wei_Dai published:

(talk) 18:42, 25 October 2015 (UTC)Many thanks, Fuhghettaboutit. I appreciate all your help. I took the tutorial for beginners, which was also very helpful, so I should be a little better at the basics now. My article is now in line for review, about 500 articles back in the queue.

What happened to the Reflinks tool for references cleanup? Is there something else available now to do these tasks? -- Djembayz ( talk) 13:57, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

The originating unregistered editor requested, at the Help Desk, a review of Draft:Snow Bowl (2008). I neither declined nor accepted, but used the Comment feature to ask questions that, in my view, involved notability. The unregistered editor has now asked me to explain in the article draft and on their talk page at more length. Since this forum is the usual place for discussing declined drafts, I am asking for the opinion of other reviewers and experienced editors here. It isn't clear from the draft why the game is notable as a Snow Bowl, because there is nothing unusual about playing American football in light snow under slightly-below-freezing conditions. Maybe I should have done a lot more research into when there should be articles about individual post-season games before the Super Bowl. In any case, I am asking for comments by other editors here.

/info/en/?search=Lanny I believe this should be a disambiguation page, but i can't change the title CokeAndVodka ( talk) 17:44, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
However, if 92% [for example] of all people who type a term or phrase into the search engine are looking for only one of four topics by the same title, it would inconvenience many more people to have to "click twice" if the base term led to a disambiguation page. So the article on that much-more-likely-to-be-searched-for topic (the "primary topic") is at the base name, the disambiguation page is given a title with "(disambiguation)" added (and a hatnote is added at the top of the primary topic base page directing the other 8% to the disambiguation page). Make sense? Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 18:11, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
I declined Draft:Bukarester FC at Articles for Creation, and have been asked by User:Alexiulian25 on my talk page why I declined it. As I explained in my decline, I didn't see adequate evidence of notability, including that it wasn't clear that the team met the fully professional standards of WP:NFOOTY. (I realize that those rules are primarily meant for players, but I was using them for a team also.) The submitter says that the team is notable, but there isn't a whole lot of information on it because it only existed a few years before it folded during World War One. I realize that means that there is a shortage of reliably sourced independent coverage. I also noted that the article would require heavy copy-editing for grammar. What is the opinion of other reviewers and experienced editors? Was I justified in asking the author to include more information, such as at least a clear statement that the team was in Liga, and was I justified in expecting the submitter to request the heavy copy-editing before submission?

WikiPedia asks for references. In the article there are at least 3 external hyperlinks that appoints to the existnce of this person. Why are these hyperlinks denied by saying there are none ?? 81.205.214.61 ( talk) 15:59, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
Hello, I've been working hard on getting the article Draft:Wei_Dai published:
Part of the problem here is that it is difficult to establish notability for a cypherpunk who deliberately avoided media attention, interviews, etc.
Considering the influence his projects have had, plus the many sources which do mention him (although briefly), I am confused what more is needed?
Reliable sources that are independent of the subject:
I'm close to giving up... am I wasting my time with this? -- JonathanCross ( talk) 12:05, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
"there is enough independent, reliably published, material about the subject to make it possible to write an article on the subject"
do those mentions, even taken together, allow one to put anything significant into the article
how can i tag work, place, names, animals on my article? Faizan mumeed ( talk) 11:44, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
