I made a list of all the pages I've created that I put on my profile page. The list will remain there until I resolve this question, but it also appears in a subpage/userpage I made for the list to be put as it gets longer and ends up being far to long for my profile page. I then, after making that page at User:Gresthegreat/Pages Gresthegreathas created, I found the page User:Greshthegreat/Newly created articles that I don't recall making that I am pretty sure was made for me by Wikipedia. I looked in the history of the page, and it was made with my account, back when I was very new to Wikipedia so I am highly doubting that I personally made the page myself seeing how the message about the page is worded pretty well. Which page should I put my list of pages I've created on Wikipedia? On the page User:Gresthegreat/Pages Gresthegreathas created that I made for the list to be put, or the page User:Greshthegreat/Newly created articles that was made for me by Wikipedia? I am wondering because the page User:Greshthegreat/Newly created articles appears to be meant for articles I have made recently, while my list contains all the pages I've created or removed the redirect from to make the page, which contains some pages/articles I created more then a year ago in some cases. Which user subpage should I put the list? Greshthegreat ( talk) 01:26, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

02:20, 3 February 2018 (UTC)Is there a content and/or formatting standard for videography of a music group's concert DVDs?
I don't see a template for videography like there is for discography. If there's no specific template for it, should I be using an existing template (such as the discography template)? Or should I just make my own table?
I looked at the videography of a few music groups and there doesn't seem to be a lot of consistency in content / formatting / sourcing.
If there's no defined standard, I was planning to make a table with the following columns: - Title (name of the DVD) - Date of Release (year of release) - Chart Peak - Weeks on Chart
For chart performance, I'm planning to use the Billboard "Music Video Sales" chart and source Billboard Biz ( https://www.billboard.com/biz/charts/music-video). Is that considered a valid, reliable source?

Hi there,
I just uploaded my first image to the talk page of CCS (gene), and I wanted to double check that what I uploaded met the standards for Wikipedia. Part of the reason why I uploaded it to the talk page rather than the main article was because I wanted to make sure it was valid. I don't want to violate any rules.
Essentially how I made the image was through Chimera. I looked up the protein using its PDB ID, edited it to make it look how I wanted it, and added a few shapes and text through powerpoint. Am I not allowed to upload something that came from PDB even though I edited it?
Thank you for your help!

I got Mike Reiss to sign one of his books that I bought of his called City of Hamburgers that I got signed by him in 2012 at the Wheeler Opera House in Aspen, Colorado following an event where he spoke. I know the signature is real, but I would like if someone could authenticate it or help me in authenticating it along with what I have said so that there is no dispute of it's aithenticity as all I can do myself is say it is real, which some may think could easily be a lie. I uploaded a png and jpg version of the signature at 250px and 250px under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International licenses. The image I took with my iPhone 6, then uploaded to my computer, cropped and then removed the background from the signature to make it have a transparent background. Can someone authenticate or help me authenticate this signature from 2012 of Mike Reiss so that there is no dispute it is fake? All I can do to authenticate it myself is say it is real, which could be disputed by some as only a claim with no proof to back it up. I can share the original non cropped and background removed image or take other images of the signature if needed as I still own and have the book the signature is in, that is still today, in nearly the same quality as when I got the book signed.

Hello, I'm trying to get into writing and editing, and figured I'd pick a random topic to create a Wikipedia page for. I noticed Sunbelt Rentals did not have a page (link to the draft here).
Now I know it is a "rough draft" but I was hoping other people might also contribute to it as I continue to add to it.
The reason it was declined is: Straightforward advertising and product placement for a non-notable tool hire business.
How is a 2.4 billion dollar company that's been around since the 80's a non-notable business? I guess I don't understand. I do not care if the page is necessarily added, I just want to know what I did or didn't do correctly to get it approved. It's all factual, not really sure how it's seen as advertising - it seems very straightforward to me.
If you can give me some tips on how to correctly add future Wikipedia articles, that would be much appreciated. Bobbybuzz ( talk) 17:55, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
I'm planning to nominate my article I created about conspiracy theorist David Meade. Do you think he fits under "Philosophy and religion", "Physics and astronomy" or any of the " Culture, sociology, and psychology" categories? He did made a prediction about a mythological planet known as Nibiru to destroy Earth and he did claimed to be raised as a Catholic, while some call him as a Christian numerologist. He did also claimed to study astronomy in college (on his website on a Washington Post news source).

QCrack was a program released in 1997 as a crack for the software iD STUFF, packaged with their incredibly popular CD releases of Wolfenstein 3D, Quake, and Doom, to name a few. I consider it notable because it rendered iD Software's shareware discs as collections of iD Soft's games, considering on the Quake CD alone you could get at least five games (I haven't thoroughly researched this topic yet). The problem is that I'm not sure it's notable: Very few people are talking about it, there are only a couple forum posts about it, and none are considered reliable sources. I wrote an article about it on Instant Floppy, too, so is this also a conflict of interest? P.S., I'm a n00b to Wikipedia editing so tips and tricks are welcome too :) RandomGuyDTB ( talk) 15:14, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
Hello, I am placey33 and recently submitted a page for Summer Rose (American Musician) that was declined for a variety of reasons. I am working on the references, cleaning up the external links, and establishing notoriety in an effort to resubmit it. A page for Summer Rose already exists in Swedish https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_Rose.

I collect and restore vintage dolls. In my collection I have porcelain vintage doll I was having trouble Identifying because she had no markings. So I tried google. after several searches I came across a doll forum which led me to an obituary about Bootsie Calliou Tyner in Texas. I was able to find the name of her company. I could now google the company name. Finally I was able to look trough mages of her many dolls, and found one that matched my doll. if it hadn't been for this obituary I may have never learned the history of my very beautiful doll. This woman had so many accomplishments, but her name was not well know unless you lived in Texas. So I would like to write an article on Boots "Bootsie" Tyner, among her other accomplishments, started making dolls, and was the sole doll artist for Boots Tyner Originals. Her most famous doll “Sugar Britches” is an icon in the doll industry.

(3) Lists of works do not confer notability, unless the elements of the list are covered by critics or academic works. To address this, I will be adding links in which well respected art critics discuss specific works. Will this help? The flowery language describing works is likely to interpreted as promotional. This one is a bit more complex. My training in history of art taught us to be descriptive in how we explain an artwork, albeit using a concise and neutral tone with no indication of bias. Does the entry border on too flowery, or is it passable? Thank you for your time and patience!

Hello. I am quite a novice at Wikipedia but keen to learn. Quick question. The Broadcaster section of this page: /info/en/?search=Gary_Williams_(singer)#Broadcaster asks for a "when" reference in the first line:
Williams currently[when?] hosts the weekly musical biography show The Legends of Las Vegas
The citation at the end of the sentence shows that it is still current. How should I answer the previous editors "when" question? I tried to add today's date with: {{date= 5 February 2018}} but that didn't work.
What should I do?

Sarah recently received an award for best person named Sarah in a motion picturesince by the time someone reads it, that "recent event" might be quite a ways in the past.

to show when the information is current as of. So for example you could put Williams hosts the weekly musical biography show The Legends of Las Vegas <!-- As of 05 February 2018 -->

Hi,
I think that a good case can be made that my article was incorrectly rejected. Please see the notes here: /info/en/?search=Draft:Ruin_(punk_band). Note that the reviewer himself/herself made the final changes that he/she wanted to see. It has taken well over two months to get to this point.
But that being as it is, I was wondering whether the re-submitted article can be reviewed for publication faster than the two or three months that it seems like it's going to take. Who would I contact for this issue?
Thank you.

For one of my newer articles I've created I can't find a picture of the individual online that is not protected by some sort of copyright protection. I went to my university's archive center and they granted me access to a picture, but there's no written proof I can upload it - so what kind of proof should I get in writing? And how does Wikipedia discern that an email I submit is, in fact, legitimate? If they were to scan and email me a picture and that's it, is this enough to upload? Thanks!

Dear Fellow Wikipedians... I'd like to slightly expand the section on demographics in the article of Illinois with a number of sources. Would it be OK to say "Illinois has had a long history of losing its residents to other states. The most common reasons for this are job loss, the highest property taxes in the nation, weather, unionism, crime, education, unemployment, and the state's budget stalemate. The state's residents say it sucks to live in Illinois, in which it was ranked number 1 in residents who desire to flee the state. Many Gallup polls have reported that half of the state's population wants to leave. It is also reported to be the second most hated state in the U.S. after California. It has had a rate of population loss ranging from 1 person every 4.6 to 10 minutes. A study by United Van Lines has reported that it has been in yellow, meaning high outbound, since 1978. A couple who moved to North Carolina from Illinois created a website to help Illinoisans move out of their state. Michael Lucci, the vice president of the Illinois Policy Institute, said that working people and people who want jobs are fleeing the state. Due to its proximity in the Rust Belt, the state's unfriendly business climate makes it one of the top leaving destinations in the U.S. Illinois has lost residents to almost every other state in the nation." Here are some references to support what I'd like to add:
I have already posted a message to the Talk:Illinois about this, but no comments yet. I'm posting here because other editors might feel this is too much detail. Comments welcome please! Colman2000 ( talk) 22:21, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

Carol (Juriga) Hardin was born October 20, 1941, in Johnson City, NY. She is a Horse Trainer and Exhibitor. Since she started training and showing horses in 1973, she has qualified six Palomino Amateur Supreme Champions, which is a PHBA record. Carol won WORLD CHAMPIONS and was PHBA’s National Year End Overall High Point Amateur in 1994 and Reserve High Point Amateur in 1987 and 1996. After many years of outstanding accomplishments she was inducted into The Palomino Horse Hall of Fame in 2012 as an exhibitor. http://www.palominohba.com/the-association/hall-of-fame/hall-of-fame-inductees/
Clifford S. Hardin was born September 4, 1939, in Atlanta, GA. He is a Long distance Hiker, Horse Trainer and Exhibitor. He excelled at both endeavors. He received the Triple Crown Award from the American Long Distance Hikers Association in 2005. This award is given to recognize those that have hiked the full length of the three major trails in America, the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail and the Continental Divide Trail. While there have been millions of people that have hiked parts of the three above mentioned trails, as of December 31, 2016. There have been only 17,898 hikers that have hiked the entire 2,135 miles of the Appalachian Trail. There have been only a total of 4,885 completed hikes of the Pacific Crest Trail, which runs 2,650 miles, from Mexico to Canada. There are less than 400 reported completed hikes on the 3,100 mile long Continental Divide Trail, which also goes from Mexico to Canada. More amazing, there are only 298 hikers, worldwide, that have hiked the full length of all three trails. They are known as “Triple Crowners” and received the prestigious Triple Crown Award. http://aldhawest.org/page-18139
Cliff started training horses on part time basics in 1970, while working full time in the Real Estate Business. In 1985 he left the Real Estate business to do what he truly loved and that was training horses and teaching horsemanship to young and/or beginner riders. Most of his students became accomplished riders and several won World Championships and had National High Point Horses. He trained and exhibited 4 World Champions and multiple National High Point Horses. In 1994, He earned the PHBA National Overall High Point Open Horse Award and the 1,434 points earned that year set the PHBA record for the most Open Points earned in one year, the record still stands today. He qualified 3 PHBA Open Supreme Champions. There have only been a total of 99 Open Supreme Champions qualified in PHBA’s 77 year history, He was inducted into the Palomino Horse Hall of Fame in 2012 as an exhibitor. http://www.palominohba.com/the-association/hall-of-fame/hall-of-fame-inductees/

Hi,
When my submission Draft:Bart_Cassiman was rejected the first time the reviewer added a comment for the next reviewer to look in the field 'Further Reading' as well as the field 'Sources' to get a full overview of the (needed) secondary sources. However, the article is once again declined because there are not enough secondary sources although there are more than 40 in said 'Further Reading' section. Can someone help me to get this article accepted, as it is well documented it feels it can be a real addition to the Wikipedia encyclopedia?

Thank you for your response Rhadow. The person who this article is about is not an artist. He is an exhibition maker, in that sense it is important to leave in the artists names, because that gives meaning to the exhibition he made. I will edit the bold claim about 'one of the most active and energized persons', this is perhaps too much... Can I address someone to 'quickly' review and accept it when edited with these remarks? This has been on review since the beginning of autumn so I'd like to finish it.

Hello, I'm trying to get into writing and editing, and figured I'd pick a random topic to create a Wikipedia page for. I noticed Sunbelt Rentals did not have a page (link to the draft here).
Now I know it is a "rough draft" but I was hoping other people might also contribute to it as I continue to add to it.
The reason it was declined is: Straightforward advertising and product placement for a non-notable tool hire business.
How is a 2.4 billion dollar company that's been around since the 80's a non-notable business? I guess I don't understand. I do not care if the page is necessarily added, I just want to know what I did or didn't do correctly to get it approved. It's all factual, not really sure how it's seen as advertising - it seems very straightforward to me.
If you can give me some tips on how to correctly add future Wikipedia articles, that would be much appreciated. Bobbybuzz ( talk) 17:55, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
I'm planning to nominate my article I created about conspiracy theorist David Meade. Do you think he fits under "Philosophy and religion", "Physics and astronomy" or any of the " Culture, sociology, and psychology" categories? He did made a prediction about a mythological planet known as Nibiru to destroy Earth and he did claimed to be raised as a Catholic, while some call him as a Christian numerologist. He did also claimed to study astronomy in college (on his website on a Washington Post news source). Which one of the GA categories do you think he fits under? -- LovelyGirl7 talk 22:22, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello,
I've finished a draft article in my sandbox and would like to publish it to the mainspace. However, since it is about a book the article title needs to be italicized and I can't find how to do this. The draft is in my sandbox for reference. Grateful if you could help me out with this.

@ Gazelle55: Welcome to the Teahouse! Is: (Why Buddhism is True: The Science and Philosophy of Meditation and Enlightenment) what you need italicized?

QCrack was a program released in 1997 as a crack for the software iD STUFF, packaged with their incredibly popular CD releases of Wolfenstein 3D, Quake, and Doom, to name a few. I consider it notable because it rendered iD Software's shareware discs as collections of iD Soft's games, considering on the Quake CD alone you could get at least five games (I haven't thoroughly researched this topic yet). The problem is that I'm not sure it's notable: Very few people are talking about it, there are only a couple forum posts about it, and none are considered reliable sources. I wrote an article about it on Instant Floppy, too, so is this also a conflict of interest? P.S., I'm a n00b to Wikipedia editing so tips and tricks are welcome too :) RandomGuyDTB ( talk) 15:14, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
Hello, I am placey33 and recently submitted a page for Summer Rose (American Musician) that was declined for a variety of reasons. I am working on the references, cleaning up the external links, and establishing notoriety in an effort to resubmit it. A page for Summer Rose already exists in Swedish https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_Rose. Since that had already been reviewed, approved and published, is there a way to transfer/copy to English so I can make proper edits to that rather than start anew? Thanks!

I collect and restore vintage dolls. In my collection I have porcelain vintage doll I was having trouble Identifying because she had no markings. So I tried google. after several searches I came across a doll forum which led me to an obituary about Bootsie Calliou Tyner in Texas. I was able to find the name of her company. I could now google the company name. Finally I was able to look trough mages of her many dolls, and found one that matched my doll. if it hadn't been for this obituary I may have never learned the history of my very beautiful doll. This woman had so many accomplishments, but her name was not well know unless you lived in Texas. So I would like to write an article on Boots "Bootsie" Tyner, among her other accomplishments, started making dolls, and was the sole doll artist for Boots Tyner Originals. Her most famous doll “Sugar Britches” is an icon in the doll industry.
Do you think this would be a good article to ad to wikipedia. Mimi'scloset ( talk) 23:09, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

(3) Lists of works do not confer notability, unless the elements of the list are covered by critics or academic works. To address this, I will be adding links in which well respected art critics discuss specific works. Will this help? The flowery language describing works is likely to interpreted as promotional. This one is a bit more complex. My training in history of art taught us to be descriptive in how we explain an artwork, albeit using a concise and neutral tone with no indication of bias. Does the entry border on too flowery, or is it passable? Thank you for your time and patience!

Please see
The reviewer in December said there was confusion between footnote and citations. Fair enough. I thought I had made that distinction clear by the time I resubmitted the article, but apparently not.
Any thoughts on how to resolve this issue pleased. I’m keen to get this article approved.

Hello. I am quite a novice at Wikipedia but keen to learn. Quick question. The Broadcaster section of this page: /info/en/?search=Gary_Williams_(singer)#Broadcaster asks for a "when" reference in the first line:
Williams currently[when?] hosts the weekly musical biography show The Legends of Las Vegas
The citation at the end of the sentence shows that it is still current. How should I answer the previous editors "when" question? I tried to add today's date with: {{date= 5 February 2018}} but that didn't work.
What should I do?
Thanks. Bosents ( talk) 11:19, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
Sarah recently received an award for best person named Sarah in a motion picturesince by the time someone reads it, that "recent event" might be quite a ways in the past.
<!-- -->
to show when the information is current as of. So for example you could put Williams hosts the weekly musical biography show The Legends of Las Vegas <!-- As of 05 February 2018 -->
. This hidden comment would only be visible to someone editing the page, and would not be seen by readers, but it would help to give an indication to editors when this information might need updating. Hope this helps.

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a tool or gadget that allows you to check a page's wiki links and piped redirects to see if any are incorrect or not redirecting properly. Thanks, Jmnbqb ( talk) 20:40, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
Hi,
I think that a good case can be made that my article was incorrectly rejected. Please see the notes here: /info/en/?search=Draft:Ruin_(punk_band). Note that the reviewer himself/herself made the final changes that he/she wanted to see. It has taken well over two months to get to this point.
But that being as it is, I was wondering whether the re-submitted article can be reviewed for publication faster than the two or three months that it seems like it's going to take. Who would I contact for this issue?
Thank you.

For one of my newer articles I've created I can't find a picture of the individual online that is not protected by some sort of copyright protection. I went to my university's archive center and they granted me access to a picture, but there's no written proof I can upload it - so what kind of proof should I get in writing? And how does Wikipedia discern that an email I submit is, in fact, legitimate? If they were to scan and email me a picture and that's it, is this enough to upload? Thanks!

Dear Fellow Wikipedians... I'd like to slightly expand the section on demographics in the article of Illinois with a number of sources. Would it be OK to say "Illinois has had a long history of losing its residents to other states. The most common reasons for this are job loss, the highest property taxes in the nation, weather, unionism, crime, education, unemployment, and the state's budget stalemate. The state's residents say it sucks to live in Illinois, in which it was ranked number 1 in residents who desire to flee the state. Many Gallup polls have reported that half of the state's population wants to leave. It is also reported to be the second most hated state in the U.S. after California. It has had a rate of population loss ranging from 1 person every 4.6 to 10 minutes. A study by United Van Lines has reported that it has been in yellow, meaning high outbound, since 1978. A couple who moved to North Carolina from Illinois created a website to help Illinoisans move out of their state. Michael Lucci, the vice president of the Illinois Policy Institute, said that working people and people who want jobs are fleeing the state. Due to its proximity in the Rust Belt, the state's unfriendly business climate makes it one of the top leaving destinations in the U.S. Illinois has lost residents to almost every other state in the nation." Here are some references to support what I'd like to add:
I have already posted a message to the Talk:Illinois about this, but no comments yet. I'm posting here because other editors might feel this is too much detail. Comments welcome please! Colman2000 ( talk) 22:21, 4 February 2018 (UTC)

In 77 years, there have been only 13 exhibitors inducted into the Palomino Horse Breeders of America's Hall of Fame. We are the only PHBA Hall of Fame members in Alabama.
The Triple Crown Award that I received in 2005 was after I hiked over 8,000 miles, which took nearly 2 years. Please note that there are only 298 hikers, worldwide, that have received this prestigious award and I'm the only one in the entire state of Alabama that has received it.
Please look this over and give me suggestions on how to improve it.

Carol (Juriga) Hardin was born October 20, 1941, in Johnson City, NY. She is a Horse Trainer and Exhibitor. Since she started training and showing horses in 1973, she has qualified six Palomino Amateur Supreme Champions, which is a PHBA record. Carol won WORLD CHAMPIONS and was PHBA’s National Year End Overall High Point Amateur in 1994 and Reserve High Point Amateur in 1987 and 1996. After many years of outstanding accomplishments she was inducted into The Palomino Horse Hall of Fame in 2012 as an exhibitor. http://www.palominohba.com/the-association/hall-of-fame/hall-of-fame-inductees/
Clifford S. Hardin was born September 4, 1939, in Atlanta, GA. He is a Long distance Hiker, Horse Trainer and Exhibitor. He excelled at both endeavors. He received the Triple Crown Award from the American Long Distance Hikers Association in 2005. This award is given to recognize those that have hiked the full length of the three major trails in America, the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail and the Continental Divide Trail. While there have been millions of people that have hiked parts of the three above mentioned trails, as of December 31, 2016. There have been only 17,898 hikers that have hiked the entire 2,135 miles of the Appalachian Trail. There have been only a total of 4,885 completed hikes of the Pacific Crest Trail, which runs 2,650 miles, from Mexico to Canada. There are less than 400 reported completed hikes on the 3,100 mile long Continental Divide Trail, which also goes from Mexico to Canada. More amazing, there are only 298 hikers, worldwide, that have hiked the full length of all three trails. They are known as “Triple Crowners” and received the prestigious Triple Crown Award. http://aldhawest.org/page-18139
Cliff started training horses on part time basics in 1970, while working full time in the Real Estate Business. In 1985 he left the Real Estate business to do what he truly loved and that was training horses and teaching horsemanship to young and/or beginner riders. Most of his students became accomplished riders and several won World Championships and had National High Point Horses. He trained and exhibited 4 World Champions and multiple National High Point Horses. In 1994, He earned the PHBA National Overall High Point Open Horse Award and the 1,434 points earned that year set the PHBA record for the most Open Points earned in one year, the record still stands today. He qualified 3 PHBA Open Supreme Champions. There have only been a total of 99 Open Supreme Champions qualified in PHBA’s 77 year history, He was inducted into the Palomino Horse Hall of Fame in 2012 as an exhibitor. http://www.palominohba.com/the-association/hall-of-fame/hall-of-fame-inductees/

Hi,
When my submission Draft:Bart_Cassiman was rejected the first time the reviewer added a comment for the next reviewer to look in the field 'Further Reading' as well as the field 'Sources' to get a full overview of the (needed) secondary sources. However, the article is once again declined because there are not enough secondary sources although there are more than 40 in said 'Further Reading' section. Can someone help me to get this article accepted, as it is well documented it feels it can be a real addition to the Wikipedia encyclopedia?
All my bests.

Thank you for your response Rhadow. The person who this article is about is not an artist. He is an exhibition maker, in that sense it is important to leave in the artists names, because that gives meaning to the exhibition he made. I will edit the bold claim about 'one of the most active and energized persons', this is perhaps too much... Can I address someone to 'quickly' review and accept it when edited with these remarks? This has been on review since the beginning of autumn so I'd like to finish it.
All my best.
