Last week, editor Jbarrientos96 created an article HUF (company). It was clearly advertising for a non-notable company, and was quickly tagged for CSD. The editor repeatedly removed the CSD tag, and was warned three times, escalating each time. He/she was blocked temporarily from editing, and the article was deleted. However, now that the block has expired he/she has re-created the article. I have marked it for CSD, but I don't just want to go around that cycle again. I feel this editor's behaviour should be brought to the attention of somebody who has power to enforce the rules - can somebody advise how to engage such a person?

Hello, I am new, and a longtime fan of Sonic The Hedgehog, I wanted to create a page for the screenwriter of the new movie. Here is my page:
/info/en/?search=Draft:Van_Robichaux
However, apparently I need better citations and coverage. The draft was rejected with the note "Comment: This needs more coverage" under his biography. I figured Variety, Collider, Deadline Hollywood, SlashFilm would work but I need more help. Any suggestions? Would love to make this page.
He has many credits and is a working writer in Hollywood, definitely notable. Sonicfan1997 ( talk) 20:11, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

I know that youtube can be cited if it is uploaded by the copyright holder such as from Vevo. However, in descriptions of music videos on their song pages can the entire description be cited from Vevo? It would seem that descriptions of music videos would vary. Thanks.
EagleTech199 ( talk) 23:12, 10 November 2015 (UTC)
The description at the YouTube video (regardless of whether uploaded by the BBC or some random user) is copyrighted content, so no, you could not use it (except under fair use, in the form of a short quotation – marked as such with quote marks, cited using an inline citation and in-text attribution).
This is the way to treat all non-free copyrighted content. The result of non-free copyright protection is that you cannot use any previously written content here unless it is in the public domain or under a free copyright license compatible with Wikipedia licenses (except a short quote under the limited fair use exception I mentioned).
For content published after 1923, assume everything is copyrighted and cannot be used at all unless you have affirmative evidence of PD status or the free copyright license – such as the person who is clearly the author stating the release of the content or free license at the source. And even then you must provide attribution to avoid plagiarism. In general, all content you add here must be written in your own words. Sources are used to verify the information, and not for their sentences.
Lastly, while it is possible that a YouTube description could be a reliable source, most of the time it would just be user-generated content and worthless to cite. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 23:43, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Racahel~swwiki, that sounds like an excellent idea. In English Wikipedia we have a convenient template, {{ Translated page}} which can be put on the talk page of article that has been translated from another Wikipedia, as a good way of providing attribution for the work of the editors who wrote the original page (attribution must be provided, that's part of our licence here). There's no link from that template to Swahili Wikipedia, so it may not have been created on sw.wp (or it may just not have been linked to Wikidata). If it doesn't exist yet you could perhaps ask for it to be created. A translation can only be as good as the source material, so please choose articles that are well written and well sourced!

George Hindori was a member of parliament in Suriname, and a cabinet official. Therefore, he meets WP:NPOL. In addition, he changed his stance on the independence of Suriname from the Netherlands at a critical moment in 1975, and his defection from the anti-independence forces was a major development moving independence forward. He is clearly notable, and experienced editors should be working to expand and reference the article, not trying to delete it or prevent it from being created.

My article was deleted by user GeoffreyT2000 without researching who the person in question was. I provided dob function and reference website articles but they removed it ! Why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nhindori ( talk • contribs) 17:33, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
George Hindori was a member of parliament in Suriname, and a cabinet official. Therefore, he meets WP:NPOL. In addition, he changed his stance on the independence of Suriname from the Netherlands at a critical moment in 1975, and his defection from the anti-independence forces was a major development moving independence forward. He is clearly notable, and experienced editors should be working to expand and reference the article, not trying to delete it or prevent it from being created. Let's always keep the goal of improving the encyclopedia at the front of our minds. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 07:09, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
I need help with this as I'm unsure whether to use a restaurant stub template, or to post an article. I've never edited/posted on Wiki before. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Locks1windsorterrace ( talk) 09:46, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
I tried to add the {{ Cite AV media}} template on the article The Boys in the Band ( Special:Diff/687758320), but it renders as an in-text citation instead of as a reference. What am I doing wrong? Thanks! - Mark D Worthen PsyD 12:13, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
