I am looking for a portrait of a mid 1800's gentleman for an article. After much searching I understand there is a portrait of him while he was a judge in 1859. This portrait is handing on the wall in the Judge's chambers of a courthouse and I have been unsuccessful at getting permission to enter and photograph it. However, in 1960 a centennial book was written that has a picture of his portrait from 1859 in it. This book is out of print and the author has since died but they can be found in law libraries. What issues do I need to be concerned with if I take a digital picture of the picture in the 1960 book that is a picture of a portrait from 1859? Craig ( talk) 19:41, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
I will be making a trip to the library in the next couple of weeks to evaluate the contents of the 1960 book. I'll report back with my findings. Very helpful information, thanks again. Craig ( talk) 23:18, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

I'm having trouble with the references in the page I am writing on Eugene Lion. I've nearly fixed the format. The feedback from the reviewer tells me the references are vague. Most are reviews of productions Lion directed or wrote and directed. Two are scholarly comments on one of his plays.

I have studied the Referencing for beginners. I continue to study this document. I continue to correct the errors I have made. I asked my questions here because a friendly note from User talk:Dodger67 suggested I might find the Teahouse a friendly place to ask some questions. For example, I have, in my editing, chosen Italics from the choices to render names of publications. In the Read version I see Italics. In the Edit version I see quotation marks. Cullen328 has helpfully pointed out I should be using italics. Thing is, dear friends and helpful editors - I am using italics. Wendy Burton ( talk) 04:44, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

Hello there, I am totally frustated with Wikipedia's bureaucratic and "dumb mind set" so it appears, in trying to get an article posted on the Fulwood Barracks site on wiki.

Joseph2302 (
talk) 11:56, 26 June 2016 (UTC)I just went through the Wikipedia Adventure tutorial, and I'm excited to start contributing to Wikipedia, as I've benefitted from the site for years. The article I wish to expand is called Situations and Names of Winds which describes an excerpt from Aristotle's treatise of Meteorological Signs. The article is a stub. I first came across the article during my own research, trying to find the complete text. I did eventually source the full text, available online at the Loeb Classical Library website.
My question is this: for the sake of others like me, is it proper for me to copy the full text into the article (with citation, of course)? Since it is available for free, and (I assume) in the public domain, would this violate Wikipedia's guidelines? Should I simply include a link to the external website instead?

My first attempt to have my draft titled "CityU MFA" approved is I believe on hold and I wonder whether I am on the right track moving forward.
Originally, I planned to submit partial content of CityU MFA to Wikipedia for approval, and generate more content along the waiting, and once the initial content is approved and the page is published, I could just "edit" and add new content to the page. But this approach appears not a good idea. According to editor Robert's comment (Thank you, Robert for your time reviewing the content.), the amount of content in the draft is too small to become a stand alone article and I should either add the content to an existing page or consult in Teahouse for further inquiries.
So here I am, seeking your advice: Should I come back with the full length draft of CityU MFA? What other options do I have in order to make "CityU MFA" a stand alone page?
Thanks a lot!

Cullen and Robert, I hear you and I can understand your points of view on 1. a degree program should belong to its university's page 2. a new editor has other ways to contribute than creating a new page. I also would like to point out that when a degree program impacts the global scholar communities in ways that no other programs have experienced, it is worth to be encyclopedia-ed for future references. One example is Article: Iowa's Writers' Workshop. The page is not only allowed to be a stand alone page but also to be with ambiguously written content. Why was this article allowed to be a freestanding page, instead of being listed on the university's page? I am asking because CityU MFA is in many ways as notable as this Iowa Writers' Workshop but different in ways which are/will be (when I finish the draft) backed up by independent sources such as CNN, the Guardian and other major media links on the program as well as prizes and awards won by graduates and faculty. I ask you to reconsider your opinion on my proposal to come back with a fully written draft and allow room for discussion to help it become a stand alone page. Thanks.

Hi,
I have seen there are many wikipedia pages about companies and websites, and I understand that Wikipedia doesn't allow for advertisement of business. But what makes a company wiki page not an advertisement? I tried to create a wiki page for my own website, and included many facts that would be interesting and useful for the website users. However, I received a message saying that it is an advertisement and would be deleted soon.
I would greatly appreciate advice from expert editors about how to create a wiki page for a website which is informative to readers, and not an advertisement.

Hello- I submitted a question last week, got an answer and now I cannot find that answer. Re: original post: I am advocating the change or update of The Ramones logo on their page to better show who the ending members of the band were, which includes Tommy, Johnny, Joey and DeeDee. Marky left the band due to alcoholism and anger over t-shirt sales. This was how the band played their last show.
How and where can I argue to have this changed?

Hi! In the already existing page Terraforming in Popular Culture, there is a list of games covering the topic of terraforming. All these games have links to wikipedia pages about the games. My company will release a game called Terraforming Mars in August, which will be the most recent game covering the topic, and I think it should be mentioned in the list. But it feels strange to just add it without a reference to a wikipedia article about it. So I though I might create that page first. However, as I created my account on Wikipedia, I was informed that I should not create articles about me or my company (or anything I am closely connected to). What should I do?

Is there a way to be able to get my page for Matt Pitt back on Wikipedia? Thank you in advance for your help! Koglesby17 ( talk) 18:02, 27 June 2016 (UTC) |
Hi,
I have seen there are many wikipedia pages about companies and websites, and I understand that Wikipedia doesn't allow for advertisement of business. But what makes a company wiki page not an advertisement? I tried to create a wiki page for my own website, and included many facts that would be interesting and useful for the website users. However, I received a message saying that it is an advertisement and would be deleted soon.
I would greatly appreciate advice from expert editors about how to create a wiki page for a website which is informative to readers, and not an advertisement.

For the levels do I have to put in = =level 2== or can I just do = =early life== and same question for bolding do I have to put " "bold"" to make t he next word bold or do I just put the quotations around the word and automatically becomes bolded? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Butmynameismark ( talk • contribs) 21:04, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
Hello- I submitted a question last week, got an answer and now I cannot find that answer. Re: original post: I am advocating the change or update of The Ramones logo on their page to better show who the ending members of the band were, which includes Tommy, Johnny, Joey and DeeDee. Marky left the band due to alcoholism and anger over t-shirt sales. This was how the band played their last show.
How and where can I argue to have this changed?

Hi, I was wondering-is Goodreads a good source for writing an article? If not, could you please tell me some good sources? Thanks, Mango the RainWing Mango the RainWing ( talk) 00:58, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi,
I uploaded a high quality JPEG (of an organization's logo), yet it becomes very pixelated when I insert it into the Infobox. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.

I accidentally left the draft before my title in my heading is there a script or wiki text I could use to fix this in the editing or is this permanent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Butmynameismark ( talk • contribs) 00:07, 28 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi! In the already existing page Terraforming in Popular Culture, there is a list of games covering the topic of terraforming. All these games have links to wikipedia pages about the games. My company will release a game called Terraforming Mars in August, which will be the most recent game covering the topic, and I think it should be mentioned in the list. But it feels strange to just add it without a reference to a wikipedia article about it. So I though I might create that page first. However, as I created my account on Wikipedia, I was informed that I should not create articles about me or my company (or anything I am closely connected to). What should I do?
