Do I have to create a new user page in each language? If so, why?
I would also like to ask, is there a page for "titles" that can be added to profiles? Because I got most of mine from copying those of another user, and I think it would be cool if you could just look at a list of "most popular titles" and pick and choose from there/ be directed to a page with more if you click on one.

Hi Teahouse,
How do I add an infobox using Visual Editor? I only can see a limited number of templates available to use - none of which relate to the page I'm creating. When I add information to the normal 'infobox' it doesn't actually appear on the page.
Any help would be much appreciated.

A hammer is a tool or device that delivers a blow (a sudden impact) to an object. Most hammers are hand tools used to drive nails, fit parts, forge metal, and break apart objects. Hammers vary in shape, size, and structure depending on their purposes.
In order to use a hammer, first grip the handle with your dominate hand. For more delicate work, it's best to grip closer to the head of the hammer, but for more force with less accuracy, you should grip toward the base instead.

which allows you to enter those parameters. I presume you would look up the relevant work on the catalogue to retrieve its identifier. Once in the article, a user need only click the link to see the entry and which library holds copies. It would make sense to follow that system. But I don't think we want full lists of his publications -just a selection of the most significant ones. So please don't add more trivia.I'm in the process of refining his page, and adding references. You can see that by going to the page -- I hope this suits Wikipedia better. I've taken out the references to Leandro's website, but mostly have been working on the introduction and the bio so far, the Publications, and I put links to most of the 'Selected Permanent Collections'.
All the other external links were put in by another editor -- should I remove them, as they are repititions of the University of Miami item which is referenced in Reference #1? (The only one that really ought to remain is "Creator page for Leandro Soto Ortiz in the Cuban Theater Digital Archive", which is not part of UofM.) Yes, I did look up the OCLC after writing a Teahouse request but before you answered, but nowhere did I find how to get the identifier.

I've included a 'Further reading' section which, admittedly I think, has too many! I read that only 3% of the articles have that section...

Hello,
in March 2018 I created an article about Michael Samoilovich Khazanovsky in Russian (Михаил Самойлович Хазановский). He was one of the founders of this music boarding school for talented youth in Kharkov, Ukrain - https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A5%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%8C%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D1%81%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%BD%D1%8F%D1%8F_%D1%81%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%BC%D1%83%D0%B7%D1%8B%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D1%88%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B0-%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%82 I created this article in the Sandbox under my account. Now I`m trying to find out what happened to it and I can`t find it anywhere. Can someone please help.
Also, I checked the deletion log and all public logs and don`t see it. I would really like to have it retrieved as I didn`t save the latest version of it anywhere else.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Yes, I`m pretty sure I did. It was there when I created it and then a few days after I checked it to find out the status and it was still there. Now I don`t see it. I created it around March 16, 2018. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Елена Хазановская ( talk • contribs) 03:18, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
I pasted my article to my Sandbox. Will it not be deleted from there? I realized I need to make some more edits. So I`ll submit for review once I`m done. Also I want to add Michael`s portrait, and it`s probably just a matter of attaching the file. And I also am not sure how to format the table that is usually placed in the top right hand corner with the summary of the main dates and names. I don`t remember how I created it initially, and now in the Sandbox I don`t see that option. It just appears as simple text, not as a table.

I moved a sandbox to Draft:Ling Chun and commented (for another reviewer) that notability for artists is usually determined based on their permanent collections. That is, I didn’t accept or decline the draft. The author, User:Jennanenah, then said that she had developed the page as a class project, and that her professor had said that notability is based on five or more publications about her work. I didn’t know that. Can other experienced editors please look at Draft:Ling Chun? Robert McClenon ( talk) 14:58, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
widely cited by peers or successorsor having
created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of workthat has been the subject of secondary coverage, or based on critical reviews of the work, or in other forms.. A permanent collection, particularly if sponsored by an independent entity such as a major museum, may be evidence of notability, but is in no way required. An artist with no permanent collection, but who has been extensively covered by secondary sources, may be quite notable. There is no rule specific "five sources". Three or sometimes even two high-quality sources with in-depth discussions of a subject may suffice to establish notability.
I reviewed User:MUMACHA2203/sandbox and declined it. It wasn’t clear to me what the title of the article was meant to be. It appeared to be about two people. I said that the article needed a proper lede sentence introducing the topic. The author User:MUMACHA2203 asked me on my talk page to take another look, and said (I think) that in the Telegu poetic tradition, pairs of poets sometimes work extemporaneously. In further looking at the draft, I see that a possible title, Kopparapu Duo Poets, is hidden in small text at the top of the article. I would appreciate the comments of other experienced editors.

Hi. I'm new here and mostly intend to help with copy editing and proofing, but I also may want to develop a few new pages. Once I'm certain a particular topic isn't already covered by a Wikipedia article, is there a way to find out if someone is working on one but hasn't published it yet? i.e., a list of "in process" articles or some such? Just curious, as I don't want to step on toes or waste time. Ashram molter ( talk) 18:55, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
I'm very very new but I've found an interesting stub that hasn't had work aside from minor spelling corrections done on it in years. I'd like to know what the etiquette is for doing a lot of work on an existing article (essentially re-writing the entire thing). I made some edits yesterday but I've read a bit more of the wikipedia instructions and the previous questions in here and I suspect that it's not polite to have the live version as an in-progress draft, even if it IS readable and of about the same quality as the original stub. Should I be doing the edits in my sandbox and then copying them over once I'm done? Something involving drafts? If I am making edits in a separate copy, should I make a note or add a link somewhere on the talk page of the article that I'm doing so? Should I revert the edits I made yesterday and let it stay as it was while I fiddle with my separate version? Auricolour ( talk) 02:30, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

He was one of the founders of this music boarding school for talented youth in Kharkov, Ukrain - https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A5%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%8C%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D1%81%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%BD%D1%8F%D1%8F_%D1%81%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%86%D0%B8%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%B7%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D0%BC%D1%83%D0%B7%D1%8B%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%8F_%D1%88%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B0-%D0%B8%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BD%D0%B0%D1%82 I created this article in the Sandbox under my account. Now I`m trying to find out what happened to it and I can`t find it anywhere. Can someone please help.
Also, I checked the deletion log and all public logs and don`t see it. I would really like to have it retrieved as I didn`t save the latest version of it anywhere else.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Yes, I`m pretty sure I did. It was there when I created it and then a few days after I checked it to find out the status and it was still there. Now I don`t see it. I created it around March 16, 2018. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Елена Хазановская ( talk • contribs) 03:18, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
I pasted my article to my Sandbox. Will it not be deleted from there? I realized I need to make some more edits. So I`ll submit for review once I`m done. Also I want to add Michael`s portrait, and it`s probably just a matter of attaching the file. And I also am not sure how to format the table that is usually placed in the top right hand corner with the summary of the main dates and names. I don`t remember how I created it initially, and now in the Sandbox I don`t see that option. It just appears as simple text, not as a table. Thank you to all who responded!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Елена Хазановская ( talk • contribs) 04:21, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to the Teahouse. I italicized the words on the user page for you. Is that what you needed help with? MarkZusab ( talk) 12:59, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
Hello. Can I, as a new editor (7 days old) remove a "Citation needed" tag after I have provided the appropriate citation? If so, can you advise me how I do it - simply editing the tag doesn't seem to work? Allan Mungall ( talk) 09:09, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
Thanks ColinFine. Now removed. Allan Mungall ( talk) 13:01, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

I moved a sandbox to Draft:Ling Chun and commented (for another reviewer) that notability for artists is usually determined based on their permanent collections. That is, I didn’t accept or decline the draft. The author, User:Jennanenah, then said that she had developed the page as a class project, and that her professor had said that notability is based on five or more publications about her work. I didn’t know that. Can other experienced editors please look at Draft:Ling Chun? Robert McClenon ( talk) 14:58, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
widely cited by peers or successorsor having
created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of workthat has been the subject of secondary coverage, or based on critical reviews of the work, or in other forms.. A permanent collection, particularly if sponsored by an independent entity such as a major museum, may be evidence of notability, but is in no way required. An artist with no permanent collection, but who has been extensively covered by secondary sources, may be quite notable. There is no rule specific "five sources". Three or sometimes even two high-quality sources with in-depth discussions of a subject may suffice to establish notability.
I reviewed User:MUMACHA2203/sandbox and declined it. It wasn’t clear to me what the title of the article was meant to be. It appeared to be about two people. I said that the article needed a proper lede sentence introducing the topic. The author User:MUMACHA2203 asked me on my talk page to take another look, and said (I think) that in the Telegu poetic tradition, pairs of poets sometimes work extemporaneously. In further looking at the draft, I see that a possible title, Kopparapu Duo Poets, is hidden in small text at the top of the article. I would appreciate the comments of other experienced editors.

Userboxes are confusing me and the existing tutorial is not very helpful. Is there a way to make this easier on me and other new Wikipedians? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr. 478C2 ( talk • contribs) 19:46, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
No, userboxes in general, I'm afraid. I can understand the maker. Mr. 478C2 ( talk) 20:43, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

I am revising an article that has both footnotes and references. I would like to just use references, but my new notes go into existing footnotes, and I appear unable to just rename footnotes section as references. Thank you. TBR-qed ( talk) 18:49, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

tags, a form of inline citation. See
WP:CITE for various citation formats in use in Wikipedia. Inline citations have certain advantages, but general references can also be used. I have placed the two in subsections of an overall References section. Editors can come to a consensus on the article talk page as to what format or formats to use, see
WP:CITEVAR.

Hi. I'm new here and mostly intend to help with copy editing and proofing, but I also may want to develop a few new pages. Once I'm certain a particular topic isn't already covered by a Wikipedia article, is there a way to find out if someone is working on one but hasn't published it yet? i.e., a list of "in process" articles or some such? Just curious, as I don't want to step on toes or waste time. Ashram molter ( talk) 18:55, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
I'm very very new but I've found an interesting stub that hasn't had work aside from minor spelling corrections done on it in years. I'd like to know what the etiquette is for doing a lot of work on an existing article (essentially re-writing the entire thing). I made some edits yesterday but I've read a bit more of the wikipedia instructions and the previous questions in here and I suspect that it's not polite to have the live version as an in-progress draft, even if it IS readable and of about the same quality as the original stub. Should I be doing the edits in my sandbox and then copying them over once I'm done? Something involving drafts? If I am making edits in a separate copy, should I make a note or add a link somewhere on the talk page of the article that I'm doing so? Should I revert the edits I made yesterday and let it stay as it was while I fiddle with my separate version? Auricolour ( talk) 02:30, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
