Or how can i upload without the fear of being deleted... Also, i am trying to use find link tool for any suggestions and anything is happening ...what can i do? Thanks a lot!!

I previously wrote a Wikipedia article that was deleted due to it falling under the guidelines of being written by hired help. I was told that I am required to note my affiliation to the subject matter in the article, but I have not found any reference that shows how to do this. I have rewritten the article for review and wanted to make sure that I do not run into this issue again. I was asked to write the article as a favor for a friend. The article can be found here: Draft:Martin H. Hiller
Thanks, Jameswhunt ( talk) 15:20, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
Tigraan Thank you for the response. Unfortunately I am still learning Wiki so my work is mostly trial and error. The concern attached to my deleted article states: "History shows all the signs of either a paid advertisement or hired help, both of which are needed to be openly noted by our policies or else it's a violation of the basic expectations of WP:What Wikipedia is not."
I was unaware that I needed to disclose my relationship with the subject matter, but I have no problem doing so. I am friends with the subject matter's Executive Assistant. She reached out to me because of my computer and writing background. I am more than happy to disclose what ever is required! :) Jameswhunt ( talk) 15:51, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Is it frowned upon to have a long-ish list of citations after a sentence? Say 10 citations after a sentence.
I write a sentence like "many people have studied [subject A]. [citations]" or something similar. It seems that in this case, I have three choices:
(1) add ten or so citations to studies of subject A; (2) choose one or two such studies to cite; or (3) cite a survey.
Option 1 is what I would do in academic writing and seems best to me, but I haven't seen it on Wikipedia. Option 2 works if some studies stand out in some way, but often they don't. Option 3 doesn't seem so bad, but often there is no ideal survey, but instead surveys that either cover something more general than subject A; a subfield of subject A; or some slight variant of subject A.

Dear Editor,
How do you best add information which is accurate and referenced, when others remove it constantly? I tried to add accurate information, which I referenced very carefully to a page, which in my mind has been vandalized multiple times by individuals who use incomplete information to create a sensation.
What are the venues to add accurate material to the page of a living person when another user keeps calling this effort "branding" and removes it w/o other explanation.

Hi dear Teahouse, I was thinking about a maybe new feature in Wikipedia and was wondering where I can drop it? It may even be available already and I don't know about. Any suggestions (pun intended) is really appreciated. Thanks Alireza1357 ( talk) 09:36, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments. I was thinking about a light weight popup mechanism in Wikipedia that users can turn on or off. The popups will show after x ms of hovering over a word in Wikipedia that is linked to another page on Wikipedia. I use Wikipedia a lot and when reading a page, I don't like to open many other pages just to find out what a word means in an article. I was thinking about how Google scrapes the introduction section of a page from Wikipedia and shows it on its search result pages, Wikipedia could give us the ability to have the short definition of a subject just by hovering over it when reading something here.
I was about to submit this to the Idea Lab, but thought it may be helpful to check it first with you guys.
Hope that makes sense. Alireza1357 ( talk) 12:37, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

Hello Alireza1357! It's so natural that people aren't aware of all features provided by Wikipedia, because there's just tons of them. It takes time (a lot, actually). So, don't feel for it.
In case you find Navigation popups to be showing a lot of information than you need and if you're interested in trying out Beta features, you may find Hover cards as a good replacement. In case you're stuck somewhere trying to enable it, feel free to ask me in my talk page. Happy Reading! Kaartic correct me, if i'm wrong 07:36, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Hello Teahouse,
During my first few months as an editor on Wikipedia, I've noticed that numerous pages come with a Page issues banner. However, I am unaware of how to create them for appropriate pages, or how to remove them when appropriate. Any advice on this would be helpful.
Oh, and one more thing…what are the criteria for an article to achieve Good status?
Thank you for creating such a good experience for Wikipedians!

Likewise, if you see a cleanup template that seems to have been resolved, you are free to remove it; when doing so, it's not a bad idea to briefly mention the reason for removal in your edit summary.Hi, I think I'm almost done with my first article, Lilias Armstrong and I think it meets the standards for a "Good Article". Before I nominate it, I was wondering if it was typical for people to ask for second opinions from outside the nomination process. E.g., maybe post in a relevant Wikiprojects' talk pages and ask "Hey this article I wrote is up for GA nomination, can I get any feedback from project members?" Most talk pages are pretty dead, but the GA review length can apparently take months as well.
Or do most people just place the template in their article's talk page without much fuss?

@help
Usually when I find incorrect info on Wikipedia I fix it and add a reliable source for the correct information. However, this is not possible on the microscope article which is frequently hit with misinformation by non-technical editors, who then demand the info be kept while being discussed. I usually add a fact needed tag. However, what I really want to add is a "this is wrong" tag. This article gets over 5000 visitors a day, and misinformation should be removed quickly. Still, that won't happen. So, is there such a misinformation tag? "Fact" makes it seem like it's fine info, just needs a source. (Please post the get a user name wall of text on my talk page rather than here.) Any ideas? Thanks! -- 2601:648:8503:4467:29A3:AE8B:4BD0:8C1B ( talk) 16:18, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Hi,
I want to update the External Resources section of the wikiproject European Union page to remove dead links and add additional resources and archives. I edited it, but my edits didn't go through. Do I require permission for this? If so, from whom?
I would also like to amend the template of MEP's biographies to include dynamic data of their participation in roll cal votes in the European Parliament, as can be seen on votewatch.eu (example MEP). I feel this would greatly enhance these pages. However, I'm unaware of how to do this. This would require some form of scripting that is beyond my capabilities. I do, however, strongly believe that this could, if successful, be utilised to enhance the publicly information on democratic representatives within the wikiverse, and greatly improve the utility of many of their biographies.
Many thanks, EU explained ( talk) 23:21, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
Hello i don't see reasons why Winning Jah's page was deleted for one it was not a duplicated page, not a copyrighted material page, two article eritten recently were nominated for deletion an originator of a certain art style is worth a wikipedia notability for educational purpose, two he has millesstones, it is not all about local or grammy awards, fame and innovations needs to be applauded, if someone wrote the article before, that was not my headache, the article was relevant, this time i saw kind of hatred in this topic, this Musician's article is becoming boring, you guys can create it when you feel is ok by you, thanks. When a new article is written, is the duty of all wikipedian to write it beter than deleting, i never copied or wrote wrong things about this personality, that means there is someone taking this as an offecnce (TajuAyinde) — Preceding unsigned comment added by TajuAyinde ( talk • contribs) 07:53, 6 May 2017 (UTC)

I am a newbie here and tried to make some edits to this page. I was informed that I had inadvertently breached guidelines about YouTube. So I then pointed out that this was not my intention and then made edits without uploading any YouTube at all. I had been warned off that I could be barred from Wikipedia and that I must stop interfering with the page of Ryde School With Upper Chine. I wrote back to state that I would like explanation of what I had done wrong. I now realise that no videos can be uploaded. I did not realise this. I now ask what can in fact be linked? If videos cannot be linked then why have all my links been removed? It took me a long time to source them and put them together. I had hoped to give a bigger picture but it has just been totally reverted and even included a typing error I spotted with "Spinnnaker" having three "n's" when it could only have two! I despair. I would be most grateful for your help please. I know that some kind person did write to say to me that if I believed that the links were not in breach I could put them up but I do not want to upset anyone and so I am very glad to come to Teahouse for your assistance please.

Still, that won't happen. So, is there such a misinformation tag? "Fact" makes it seem like it's fine info, just needs a source. (Please post the get a user name wall of text on my talk page rather than here.) Any ideas? Thanks! -- 2601:648:8503:4467:29A3:AE8B:4BD0:8C1B ( talk) 16:18, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
Hello fellow editor I'm new to Wikipedia and I'm trying to create a page for a artist and was wondering if anyone can help me to create one. I would be very grateful and highly appreciate it. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drak1r ( talk • contribs)
Hi,
I want to update the External Resources section of the wikiproject European Union page to remove dead links and add additional resources and archives. I edited it, but my edits didn't go through. Do I require permission for this? If so, from whom?
I would also like to amend the template of MEP's biographies to include dynamic data of their participation in roll cal votes in the European Parliament, as can be seen on votewatch.eu (example MEP). I feel this would greatly enhance these pages. However, I'm unaware of how to do this. This would require some form of scripting that is beyond my capabilities. I do, however, strongly believe that this could, if successful, be utilised to enhance the publicly information on democratic representatives within the wikiverse, and greatly improve the utility of many of their biographies.
Many thanks, EU explained ( talk) 23:21, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
Hello i don't see reasons why Winning Jah's page was deleted for one it was not a duplicated page, not a copyrighted material page, two article eritten recently were nominated for deletion an originator of a certain art style is worth a wikipedia notability for educational purpose, two he has millesstones, it is not all about local or grammy awards, fame and innovations needs to be applauded, if someone wrote the article before, that was not my headache, the article was relevant, this time i saw kind of hatred in this topic, this Musician's article is becoming boring, you guys can create it when you feel is ok by you, thanks. When a new article is written, is the duty of all wikipedian to write it beter than deleting, i never copied or wrote wrong things about this personality, that means there is someone taking this as an offecnce (TajuAyinde) — Preceding unsigned comment added by TajuAyinde ( talk • contribs) 07:53, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
Hello,
We are trying to update our company information (U.S. Gas and Electric) because the details on Wikipedia are incorrect and we are wanting to write what we currently have in our website since what you have is fake news, but it's saying that the promotional content is inappropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by USGE33027 ( talk • contribs) 20:50, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

How can I get notifications about changes on pages in my watchlist? I only need one notification for new edits since last checking my watchlist or something like that. Gravecoins ( talk) 19:14, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
I am a newbie here and tried to make some edits to this page. I was informed that I had inadvertently breached guidelines about YouTube. So I then pointed out that this was not my intention and then made edits without uploading any YouTube at all. I had been warned off that I could be barred from Wikipedia and that I must stop interfering with the page of Ryde School With Upper Chine. I wrote back to state that I would like explanation of what I had done wrong. I now realise that no videos can be uploaded. I did not realise this. I now ask what can in fact be linked? If videos cannot be linked then why have all my links been removed? It took me a long time to source them and put them together. I had hoped to give a bigger picture but it has just been totally reverted and even included a typing error I spotted with "Spinnnaker" having three "n's" when it could only have two! I despair. I would be most grateful for your help please. I know that some kind person did write to say to me that if I believed that the links were not in breach I could put them up but I do not want to upset anyone and so I am very glad to come to Teahouse for your assistance please. Thank you. Spinnaker766 Spinnaker766 ( talk) 22:14, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
