I know I can't use copyrighted images in my sandbox but can I use pictures from commons there? *Treker ( talk) 01:10, 28 May 2016 (UTC)
I have a question about how to deal with a draft. There is a well-sourced draft Draft:Rustam Emomali. The individual appears to be notable, and my first inclination would be to accept. However, a previous article with the same title Rustam Emomali was recently speedily deleted as WP:G11. Should I just use my judgment and accept the existing draft (once the bottom banner is removed), or do I need to have the deleted version undeleted to my user space so that I can compare them?

My question is about the article Doug Steele. It was recently added, as Doug Steele was elected to the Saskatchewan Legislative Assembly in the general election last month. However, in the Talk page there is a discussion from 10 years ago which led to the deletion of a previous article about someone named Doug Steele, who apparently started a Hard Rock Café in Moscow.
I don't think that the discussion about the deletion of the old article, about someone completely different, should stay on the Talk page, but I don't know what would be the best approach. Should the new Doug Steele article be re-named (e.g. Doug Steele (politician))? Would that get rid of the deletion discussion from the other article?

I know someone who paints images of famous people, and who would be willing to upload one of his paintings to the Wikimedia Commons. The question is, can a painting of a famous person be used as an image in that person's BLP? The article in question already has an image of the person, but can a painting also be included in the article? The painting itself is an original artwork, not a replica of any known photograph.

Dear Wikipedia-Team,
My name is Luis Ribeiro and I am a student in Technical University of Vienna. I have a home work, that is to write an article with around 200-250 Words about Arity/Prolog32, developed by Peter Gabel, Paul Weiss, and Jim Greene. I have around 10 references (articles, books, research projects,...). This is my first article. I read the Notability /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Notability and I saw the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CwiZIsaM7s.
I did my research and I checked that there is no document written about it in wikipedia. I would like to know your opinion and advice when writing about this language.
Because it is a very small text, I will talk about who develop it, what it has, what it differentiates from prolog or/and Arity/Prolog, when it was used(by articles and researches).
With best regards,

Hi! I am Peterye2005. About 2 months ago, I created a page called The Ultimate Book of Hockey Trivia for Kids, which is a stub. I have a question about expanding it. It is a book only with facts about hockey and the Stanley Cup. Am I allowed to include some of the facts in the book or all of the facts, or am I not allowed to include any facts which are in the book? Are there any other ways to expand it? Peterye2005 ( talk) 19:34, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
I stumbled on ProcessOn by browsing random articles, and I fail to see any indication of notability or importance. Furthermore there seems to be a certain lack of interest in this service since the page has not been expanded past three sentence in the year since it was created.
So I was considering requesting speedy deletion under criteria A7, but I saw that there had been a contested PROD started on the same day the page was created. As I understand it, PROD is only for uncontested cases and thus can't be re-used. But can one still start a speedy deletion when there is a contested PROD in the history, or should this be handled differently? Thank you. Mlkj ( talk) 23:27, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
I found an article which has no citations/footnotes. But it does have sections which list sources under the headings: Writings By (the subject), Books and Articles About, External Links, Miscellaneous Writings by, and Articles About. I don't know how to go about editing this. I assume some of these sources have been used for the article, but without footnotes I can't tell. It's tempting to write the whole thing over, but I assume that's improper and disallowed.

I tried several drafts with opened JS, enabled gadget and I am a participant of the AFC, but it still doesn't work. 333 -blue 05:26, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
Looks like they've now asked at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/Helper script. Hope it gets fixed soon though, it massively speeds up accepting AfC submissions. Joseph2302 ( talk) 16:24, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
I would like to defend User:333-blue against the harsher criticisms of their bug report here, recognizing that the way in which they asked about the script failure here at this Teahouse was suboptimal, puzzling experienced editors who are not also AFC reviewers. It is often very difficult to know how to get help with respect to automated systems, even for systems that have been developed professionally and are maintained professionally. There may be multiple procedures for help, and it may be difficult even for a knowledgeable person to know which procedure is appropriate. Getting help in Wikipedia is complicated by the fact that it has a professionally supported infrastructure but is mostly a volunteer project, and that there isn’t always a single well-defined point of contact. Also, for general editing questions, Wikipedia has both the Help Desk and the Teahouse, and there are features of which the volunteers at the Help Desk and the Teahouse have little knowledge. This Teahouse wasn’t the best place for User:333-blue to ask about the AFCH script, but experienced editors should not be quick to criticize an editor for asking for help in the wrong place when it is often difficult to know where to ask for help. Robert McClenon ( talk) 22:19, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi Friendly Teahouse Editors! I have been working on draft of a new article on someone I believe is notable (his name is Rev. Dr. Paul Smith). I believe that writing {{subset:submit}} at the top of the draft is the way to ask someone to review it, but I'm not sure whether I did that correctly. I know it may take days to get a response, but I just wanted to be sure I had put in that code correctly. I think you can find the draft using my username, Alfhild-anthro... Thank you!

I'm having issues with another editor User:2A02:C7D:6A44:4600:D08E:5D69:D263:EB23.
We don't agree about certain content in an article. They insist on adding in dubiously sourced information to the article Rick Rude concernig his death which I don't find to be relevant or worth mentioning since it is nohting more than a locker room rumor which is very common in proffesional wresling.
I've tried to start a converation with them on their talk page but they just removed it and called it harassment. Instead of engaging in a discussion about it they have refered to me as a vandal and troll several times and ignored my points and arguments.
How do I get this solved somehow? *Treker ( talk) 02:41, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

I reviewed Draft:Dale armin johnson (which has been previously declined). I tried to correct its capitalization by moving it, but found that Draft:Dale Armin Johnson already existed. I declined it as duplicating an existing submission. I noted that since two editors are both working on drafts on this person, that seems suggestive that he is notable and should have an article, and advised them to work on the correctly capitalized draft to get it approved. User:Surya57947 then wrote to my talk page:
Hello Robert, I am surya and i am trying to create an article about Dale Armin Johnson and it got rejected because another writer is also working on it and could you please suggest me on how to improve my article and get it listed on Wikipedia. Thank you!
My advice is to look over the two drafts and to see what is in your draft that isn’t in the other draft, include it, and find a source for it. Do other experienced editors have advice on working to integrate two drafts on one person? Robert McClenon ( talk) 03:24, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
I reviewed Draft:Additive manufacturing and declined it as already existing at 3D Printing, for which Additive manufacturing is a redirect. User:NCMSRAREParts then wrote to my talk page:
Why did you move this page which has the backing of the SME and the their Additive Manufacturing working committee? The OFFICIAL title, Additive Manufacturing, NOT 3D Printing which is favored by marketing and Wall Street types, NOT technologists. Content is intended to reflect consistency with global standards orgs and will be continued to be updated by this organization's representatives consisting of machine makers, materials industry, users, and service providers. This group was in the final edit process and was ready to launch without worthwhile help from Wiki representatives over the course of the last 3 years. We welcome your welcome your help not your hindrance.
First, the author writes as “We”. That implies that they are writing on behalf of a group. In Wikipedia, there is a rule of one person, one account. “We” (Wikipedia) do not allow corporate or trade association accounts.
Second, I did not rename the article. The existing article has existed and evolved for twelve years. The existing article has multiple names by which it can be accessed, which is the purpose of redirects, a very important feature of Wikipedia. If anyone thinks that the primary name should be Additive manufacturing, they may request a move via the requested moves process, but that will be of little real importance since both names will work. I do see that the draft was twice at Wikipedia: Additive manufacturing, and both times was moved to Draft: Additive manufacturing, because drafts should not be in Wikipedia space, which is not for draft articles, but for policies, guidelines, and essays about using and editing Wikipedia itself.
Third, I find the tone of the comments by NCMSRAEParts less than helpful as trying to assert article ownership, but that is only my opinion. Do other experienced editors have other opinions?
There already is an article which has existed for twelve years. We appreciate any additions to it, or improvements to it. Discussions about the article should be at its talk page, which currently is Talk: 3D Printing.

Hi, Meadow Park (Borehamwood) is an article about a football stadium linked to by 250+ articles. A user Borehamwood residents changed it to about the park area in general which appears not to be Notable. That account was blocked as per user name policy, they then came back as Angry birdies who continues to ignore comments and polices so the article was locked. They then commented on the talk page Talk:Meadow Park (Borehamwood) clearly not understanding that the park in general is WP:NN; that they can't just change the nature/subject of an article; they had no references; they showed no concern over the 250+ links from football related articles; they made no attempt to create a separate article on the park by AFC or otherwise.
I realised I maybe had not been as clear as I could have been, so thought I would re-visit:
They are correct that the football ground is just part of the park and the way some football stadiums are refereed to as the area name could be confusing, so my questions are:

Could you find out why Coco Cola has suddenly stopped selling Odwalla carrot juice? It was sold at Whole Foods and Fresh Market and very delicious. There has to be a good reason why it is suddenly missing from the shelves. Please research this, There must have been a health reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.74.116.97 ( talk) 12:06, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
I was creating a info page for Actor Ian Stylezz that I have been following but I keep getting a Speedy Deletion email. I don't know the specifics that I am doing wrong. PLEASE help me. This is getting very tiresome and I'm losing motivation with Wikipedia WbPubEnt ( talk) 23:52, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
I tried several drafts with opened JS, enabled gadget and I am a participant of the AFC, but it still doesn't work. 333 -blue 05:26, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
Looks like they've now asked at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/Helper script. Hope it gets fixed soon though, it massively speeds up accepting AfC submissions. Joseph2302 ( talk) 16:24, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
I would like to defend User:333-blue against the harsher criticisms of their bug report here, recognizing that the way in which they asked about the script failure here at this Teahouse was suboptimal, puzzling experienced editors who are not also AFC reviewers. It is often very difficult to know how to get help with respect to automated systems, even for systems that have been developed professionally and are maintained professionally. There may be multiple procedures for help, and it may be difficult even for a knowledgeable person to know which procedure is appropriate. Getting help in Wikipedia is complicated by the fact that it has a professionally supported infrastructure but is mostly a volunteer project, and that there isn’t always a single well-defined point of contact. Also, for general editing questions, Wikipedia has both the Help Desk and the Teahouse, and there are features of which the volunteers at the Help Desk and the Teahouse have little knowledge. This Teahouse wasn’t the best place for User:333-blue to ask about the AFCH script, but experienced editors should not be quick to criticize an editor for asking for help in the wrong place when it is often difficult to know where to ask for help.

Hi Friendly Teahouse Editors! I have been working on draft of a new article on someone I believe is notable (his name is Rev. Dr. Paul Smith). I believe that writing {{subset:submit}} at the top of the draft is the way to ask someone to review it, but I'm not sure whether I did that correctly. I know it may take days to get a response, but I just wanted to be sure I had put in that code correctly. I think you can find the draft using my username, Alfhild-anthro... Thank you!

I noticed that "16 Wishes" 2010 is not on the "Disney Channel Original Movies List" page. How do I put it on there or can you do it? Please and thank you. Kristinam517 ( talk) 00:52, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
I'm having issues with another editor User:2A02:C7D:6A44:4600:D08E:5D69:D263:EB23.
We don't agree about certain content in an article. They insist on adding in dubiously sourced information to the article Rick Rude concernig his death which I don't find to be relevant or worth mentioning since it is nohting more than a locker room rumor which is very common in proffesional wresling.
I've tried to start a converation with them on their talk page but they just removed it and called it harassment. Instead of engaging in a discussion about it they have refered to me as a vandal and troll several times and ignored my points and arguments.
How do I get this solved somehow? *Treker ( talk) 02:41, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
In copyediting Keith Haring I went to check a reference to The Art Newspaper. The latter article reads like a promotional piece directly quoted from somewhere, and has no citations for the body of the article. Here's the lede :
I tagged it with Template: Puffery, but is there a more appropriate tag to use? -- Thnidu ( talk) 18:12, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
I reviewed Draft:Dale armin johnson (which has been previously declined). I tried to correct its capitalization by moving it, but found that Draft:Dale Armin Johnson already existed. I declined it as duplicating an existing submission. I noted that since two editors are both working on drafts on this person, that seems suggestive that he is notable and should have an article, and advised them to work on the correctly capitalized draft to get it approved. User:Surya57947 then wrote to my talk page:
Hello Robert, I am surya and i am trying to create an article about Dale Armin Johnson and it got rejected because another writer is also working on it and could you please suggest me on how to improve my article and get it listed on Wikipedia. Thank you!
My advice is to look over the two drafts and to see what is in your draft that isn’t in the other draft, include it, and find a source for it. Do other experienced editors have advice on working to integrate two drafts on one person? Robert McClenon ( talk) 03:24, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
I reviewed Draft:Additive manufacturing and declined it as already existing at 3D Printing, for which Additive manufacturing is a redirect. User:NCMSRAREParts then wrote to my talk page:
Why did you move this page which has the backing of the SME and the their Additive Manufacturing working committee? The OFFICIAL title, Additive Manufacturing, NOT 3D Printing which is favored by marketing and Wall Street types, NOT technologists. Content is intended to reflect consistency with global standards orgs and will be continued to be updated by this organization's representatives consisting of machine makers, materials industry, users, and service providers. This group was in the final edit process and was ready to launch without worthwhile help from Wiki representatives over the course of the last 3 years. We welcome your welcome your help not your hindrance.
First, the author writes as “We”. That implies that they are writing on behalf of a group. In Wikipedia, there is a rule of one person, one account. “We” (Wikipedia) do not allow corporate or trade association accounts.
Second, I did not rename the article. The existing article has existed and evolved for twelve years. The existing article has multiple names by which it can be accessed, which is the purpose of redirects, a very important feature of Wikipedia. If anyone thinks that the primary name should be Additive manufacturing, they may request a move via the requested moves process, but that will be of little real importance since both names will work. I do see that the draft was twice at Wikipedia: Additive manufacturing, and both times was moved to Draft: Additive manufacturing, because drafts should not be in Wikipedia space, which is not for draft articles, but for policies, guidelines, and essays about using and editing Wikipedia itself.
Third, I find the tone of the comments by NCMSRAEParts less than helpful as trying to assert article ownership, but that is only my opinion. Do other experienced editors have other opinions?
There already is an article which has existed for twelve years. We appreciate any additions to it, or improvements to it. Discussions about the article should be at its talk page, which currently is Talk: 3D Printing.

I'm trying to add and update Wiki articles related to the microbiology. However, I'm a total wiki-neophyte and learning the ropes. I submitted a couple new articles as drafts. How do I check their status and get feedback? Thank you in advance. Wallacewasbetter ( talk) 12:32, 31 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi, Meadow Park (Borehamwood) is an article about a football stadium linked to by 250+ articles. A user Borehamwood residents changed it to about the park area in general which appears not to be Notable. That account was blocked as per user name policy, they then came back as Angry birdies who continues to ignore comments and polices so the article was locked. They then commented on the talk page Talk:Meadow Park (Borehamwood) clearly not understanding that the park in general is WP:NN; that they can't just change the nature/subject of an article; they had no references; they showed no concern over the 250+ links from football related articles; they made no attempt to create a separate article on the park by AFC or otherwise.
I realised I maybe had not been as clear as I could have been, so thought I would re-visit:
They are correct that the football ground is just part of the park and the way some football stadiums are refereed to as the area name could be confusing, so my questions are:
