I am interested in preparing a biographical article on Bill Baldwin, a prominent radio announcer and later actor, professionally active from the mid-1930s until his death in 1982. He was a correspondent and broadcaster during WWII, and worked with many prominent radio personalities such as Edgar Bergen. He had an extended career in films as well; his best-known appearances were as the ringside color commentator appearing in all five Rocky films.
I would appreciate any advice on how to prepare this bio. I have read the basic material on new articles and the bio template, and am comfortable with them. I have made a number of minor edits over the last few years, so I'm familiar with the mechanics of Wikipedia editing. But I'm sure that there are a lot of areas I need coaching on. I'd appreciate advice on the lesser known aspects of putting together good bio articles. Thanks!DrEvel00 03:25, 17 April 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by DrEvel00 ( talk • contribs)
I reviewed User:Martamagriet/sandbox and declined it. I noted that there is already a draft, Draft:Andres Saavedra. However, the existing draft, which is written by a different editor, is very short and has no reliable sources. I also noted that there was a reference to Wikipedia, which is not permitted. User:Martamagriet then replied:
Hi Robert. Thank you for reviewing my article. I have made some of the updates (wikilinks/see also comments), however, I would like to change the article name to Andres Saavedra (producer). I'm having a difficult time figuring out how to do that before I resubmit the article for review. Could you guide me in the right direction? Thank you very much.
This is an interesting complicated situation. First, the sandbox draft and the existing draftspace draft are about the same person, and are by different editors. The sandbox draft is significantly more complete. It is usual to say that a sandbox draft should be moved into draft space before being accepted, but in this case there is no reason for that intermediate step. However, what complicates it is that there is also Andres Saavedra, which is about a different person with the same name. Martamagriet is right that disambiguation is needed. I would propose that Martamagriet resubmit the draft, and that then a reviewer can accept it (since it appears ready for mainspace) by moving it to Andres Saavedra (producer). Then, in the absence of a reason why one of the two people is primary, the gymnast should be renamed to disambiguate him as the gymnast, and a disambiguation page should be developed as primary, with links to both people.

Another editor told me to look at the deletion summary for a page I was asking about, Template:Reflistp. I asked how to find it, and they told me
I asked where to find the deletion summary. They pointed me to the right location ("When you view Template:Reflistp, you should see the following content just above the edit box:..."), but the question "Where do I find a page's deletion summary?" still needs an answer, because the obvious (if you don't already know) places don't work:

18:37, 17 April 2016 (UTC)Being a first time editor on Wikipedia, my start was not good. I was immediately tagged for potential vandalism, any comments or recommendations (which included links) where firewalled, and the "Authoritarian" was rude and very intimidating.

Greetings, Teahouse residents. This is not a particularly important question, but it has me confused. Normally, when I look at an article there is an "[edit]" link beside each heading, which allows me to edit just that section of the article. However, that does not work for Izaac Darío Enciso Castillo - the only way to edit it seems to be to edit the whole article. Can anybody suggest why this article does not appear to support editing an individual section? Gronk Oz ( talk) 02:27, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Hello Teahouse denziens,
I am considering having students in my fall course create or contribute to pre-existing pages as part of their work on a course on suffrage. The focus would be both local and national.

I was just denied an edit partly because I failed to put my content into context. The context is provided, I understand, by the sections previous to the one I want to add. How do I do that? Artemio Rivera ( talk) 17:15, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
I reviewed Draft:Great Western Mainline Electrification Progress, and declined it, among other reasons being that it lacked context. At the time, it was only a table without references, and I said that a table without references and without text was not encyclopedic. Its author, User: Chris.Bristol, then expanded it and resubmitted it, and it was reviewed and declined by User:Joseph2302. He pointed out that the subject already exists in Wikipedia, as 21st-century modernisation of the Great Western Main Line.
The author then posted the following to my talk page, and essentially the same to the other reviewer’s page: Relating to "Great Western Main Line Electrification Progress" new page submission. McClenon said (to paraphrase) "expand the page to include an introduction and some references", so I did so. the Joseph2302 said "this should not be a separate page, add it to the main one", which means the introduction and references I have added at the suggestion of the McClenon would be redundant, since the main page already has them. I'm quite confused, and feel like I have wasted my time, so I am becoming reluctant to commit any more effort to this. I can't see how I can take both of your comments into account, so should I just assume that the latest comment is the correct one?
My answer is that both reviewers are correct, and the second review is more complete. The first submission was only a table. As such, it certainly was not appropriate for consideration as a draft article, and AFC is for draft articles. I will concede that I did not search for an existing article on the overall subject. The second review, which is that the submission should be added to the existing article, is correct. Since the article does exist, the table may be appropriate for inclusion as status information for the main article.
I will comment that the current draft article contains a reference to another Wikipedia article (the main Wikipedia article). Many new editors think that Wikipedia is a good reference in Wikipedia, but any other Wikipedia article should be a wikilink or a See Also.
I concede that, on seeing a table by itself, I probably should have looked for an article in which it belongs.

I'm still tweaking the first article in my sandbox. I want to move one paragraph from one subheading and put it into a second subheading. (And move one paragraph from the second subheading into the first subheading). If copy and paste everything into a Word document before making any changes in the sandbox, I can't later paste into the sandbox. Well, I can but although the citations remain in the reference section, the [page number] of my citations that I originally entered into the sandbox don't appear correctly.
In short, what's the best way to move paragraphs around while editing in the sandbox? Drvalsummers ( talk) 02:44, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Good morning,
I'd really appreciate hearing from people regarding an suggested article. I am part of a church in Norwich, England (and therefore obviously have a link to the content), and would like to know whether a short but academically rigorous article on the history and development of the church is appropriate. This has come about because we have had feedback from visitors to the church that when they Google 'Surrey Chapel', they are sent to a Wikipedia article about a church in London. If people are looking to find out about us, we'd like it to be about the correct place!
Surrey Chapel is over 150 years old, with significant historical interest - not just locally, but internationally. Missionaries from the church have key links with people like Watchman Nee and also holocaust survivours; in fact you may have seen a BBC programme recently about Prof Phillippe Sands and his family's connection with Surrey Chapel and holocaust survivors. We can cite references for every major event and quotation, from a range of corroborated sources. We are not looking to write about the church from a personal point of view, but as an interesting historical documentation of the development of Christian practice in Norwich. The content has been researched and written up by a group of people within the church, each with a professional background and qualifications in history.
Is this appropriate for Wikipedia?
Many thanks in advance for your thoughts. SurreyChapelNorwich ( talk) 09:13, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

I am part of a church in Norwich, England (and therefore obviously have a link to the content), and would like to know whether a short but academically rigorous article on the history and development of the church is appropriate. This has come about because we have had feedback from visitors to the church that when they Google 'Surrey Chapel', they are sent to a Wikipedia article about a church in London. If people are looking to find out about us, we'd like it to be about the correct place!
Surrey Chapel is over 150 years old, with significant historical interest - not just locally, but internationally. Missionaries from the church have key links with people like Watchman Nee and also holocaust survivours; in fact you may have seen a BBC programme recently about Prof Phillippe Sands and his family's connection with Surrey Chapel and holocaust survivors. We can cite references for every major event and quotation, from a range of corroborated sources. We are not looking to write about the church from a personal point of view, but as an interesting historical documentation of the development of Christian practice in Norwich. The content has been researched and written up by a group of people within the church, each with a professional background and qualifications in history.
Is this appropriate for Wikipedia?
Many thanks in advance for your thoughts. SurreyChapelNorwich ( talk) 09:13, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
So I wrote an article for creation, and it was refused, (but that's not the point!) and now I am wondering if my sandbox is not available for any new documents? Like, can I write another article for creation in my sandbox and the other article will not interfere with it? Elsa Enchanted ( talk) 17:46, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Two existing articles are Instrumental action and Value-rational action--the latter a stub. I have written a replacement covering both topics that I would like to name "Instrumental action and Value-rational action." I would like this title to replace "Instrumental action," and to eliminate the title "Value-rational action."
Are these steps appropriate? How can I do this so that one seeking Value-rational action will be referred to the new article? Thanks. TBR-qed ( talk) 14:52, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I have an image on wikimedia that was given approval by the owner to upload. This occurred february 2016. The owner gave approval through a form of some sort. I am not remembering the process. The image is for the draft titled AEDP. The image is called The phenomenology of the transformational process. I hope i have given you enough information to help me with this.

Okay, I just got unblocked today and I want to ask 3 questions so I can get advice of not getting blocked again! So first of all, The account that I am using(GoldForTheWin0000) how can I make that my permanent account? I just want to only have one account which means that account so I can stay unblocked. Secondly, Will I do something wrong if I copy articles on my page? And lastly, Can I make fictional episode guides on my sandbox page? GoldForTheWin0000 ( talk) 19:50, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
