How do I create a new WIKIPEDIA page? Please answer me... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pippymonsta ( talk • contribs) 18:05, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello Teahouse, thanks for the kind message. I hope you can help with a query about the page I created Dean Lomax. Seems it may be deleted but I don't understand why, even after reading about this.

When I logged in today I got a message telling me to change my password because someone tried to log in to my account and failed. I changed my password but either I typed it out wrong or the site just won't accept the verification. I have tried seventeen times to verify the new password and failed. I have tried to go back to preferences and change the password again but the site won't let me do that unless I verify the new password, which I can not do. Is there any way to get out of this predicament short of making a successor account or am I helpless? -- Millionsandbillions ( talk) 18:15, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

I appreciate that this is a difficult judgement call but Wikipedia's guidance on notability to the extent it relies on whether an author's work is "highly cited" is difficult to operationalise. For one thing there is no threshold given, and for another, if there were, it does not take into consideration the variability in levels of citation across different disciplines because of differing research and publication practices. To take one example, Sonia Livingstone is one of the most highly respected communications scholars I know of and merits an extensive Wikipedia entry but she does not appear in Clarivate's list of " Highly Cited Researchers". I was thinking of producing a small entry about myself (primarily as an academic) having produced a modestly-successful academic book Sharing Our Lives Online alongside other research mainly about social media and journalism but I don't want to be seen as excessively self-promotional. Should I just put it up and see what the editors think? I don't want to waste their or my time if there was an easy way to judge... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidbrake ( talk • contribs) 21:56, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Hi I added some Talk comments for the Winter of 1946-47 (U.K.). Below my comments appear two footnote references from an earlier section, not mine. Is there a way to have those ref's appear at the end of that section? Alternately, is there a preferred way of separating last comments from earlier references (other than a couple more <return> hits, soon rather messy)? Thanks, GeeBee60 ( talk) 13:17, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
<ref>...</ref>

GeeBee60, {{

I got a message saying that someone was trying to hack into my account, and that I should change my password. I went to Wikipedia, logged in, and the same message was waiting for me. I went to the page to change my password, have tried many times, but Wikipedia will not accept the change.
What I want to do is simply close the account so that hackers can't get into it. How do I do that? I don't want to delete any contributions that I've made in the past.

I recently made some signification contributions to the articles for a few living baseball players, Michael Soroka and Al Closter. I haven't uploaded any images yet because I'm struggling to understand the limitations of free use, and of uploading images of living people. What types of photos of living baseball players would be considered okay to upload to Wikipedia? Can I use their headshots from their Baseball-Reference.com pages? Should I use photos from news articles about the players? When are photos considered public domain? Only when they're dead? Closter played in the 60s and 70s, would an image from back then be easier for me to upload than a more recent one? Closter is still alive but has been retired from baseball for decades; I should use a photo of him as a player since that's what he was notable for, correct?
Sorry for the basic questions, and thank you for your answers. – Pugchump ( talk) 19:46, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
For some retired or disbanded groups, or retired individuals whose notability rests in large part on their earlier visual appearance, a new picture may not serve the same purpose as an image taken during their career, in which case the use would be acceptable.However, a bit later, the same page specifically lists a copy of an image from a baseball card as not acceptable.

Hi - I am trying to get permission to use a photographer's picture of Elisa Izaurralde. I found the /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Requesting_copyright_permission page and want to make sure I understand it fully before potentially giving the photographer false information. Is all that she needs to do is email an affirmative response after I inform her of the terms of CC by-SA? And then I upload the image and forward the emails to Wikipedia, etc.? Basically, I want to confirm that all she has to do is grant permission in writing and I don't need to ask her to do anything else (e.g. upload the image herself). Thanks for your help and patience.

Dear all,
While browsing through the wiki pages a week ago I saw the page 'List of timetravel games'. I saw the big list of games and noticed that my game wasn't mentioned on the article yet . Just in case you didn't know yet I'm a game designer, historian and writer - but probably not 'notable' enough. So I decided to add my own game to the list but then the question arose: what if people want to know more about the game? So I decided to write an article about my game...
Today I received the following message after creating my article Lost in Time (cardgame):
"This is like a big promotional page about the game, but aside from one link to BGG you've given us no evidence of the Notability of the game, why it matters. Here's the short version of what we need to see:
Articles generally require significant coverage in reliable sources
that are independent of the topic."
Could you please let me know what you consider 'notable'? And could you please refrain from accusing me of intentionally trying to promote my game?
Thanks!

Hello Wiki community,
I'm excited to finally join Wikipedia as I've been hoping to include an article about Terry M. McGovern, she is this incredible researcher fighting the HIV/AIDS epidemic who was appointed by President Bill Clinton on his National Task Force on AIDS Drug Development in the 90s. A few people and I would like to create a page and I have begun to add information. Surprisingly, a few other people have recently contributed. I understand the process for the article to be accepted/published does take some time. I don't want to provide too much information as it may not be accepted and I have found many and am still researching articles to cite the information. My question is, with the article currently in my sandbox how do I have someone review it for approval? I would appreciate any help and advice I can get.
Thanks so much, Avid activist for ending HIV epidemic — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mailmanpopfam ( talk • contribs) 19:21, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

That's interesting, and from my experience very true. But maybe there could be some way to at least translate basic greetings like "Hello, and welcome" into all languages?

I applied to a job on Upwork for an editor to check links on Wikipedia to see what it was about. In part, his return post said "my idea is to insert backlinks to our products on existing Wikipedia pages related to education (all around education) Our product is essay writing service so backlinks have to be aded to some ralted pages.I don't have any concrete Wiki pages on my mind so it's a challenge for freelancer to search for such pages and to insert our link over there. We have had some attempts to add links on some pages, but all of them were not successfull. Moderators on Wiki have removed our links instantly. So before going into details I'd like to ask you can you guarantee that your links will be live within a month?". Should I turn this in to Upwork or is there anything that should be done.

Hi, I'm wondering whether to add a "see also" link to a section/sub-section, and if so, how that should be formatted.
The page I'm interested in editing is: Relaxation (psychology). The "Relaxation techniques" section of that page is a mini-version of the wiki page: Relaxation technique. I think I remember seeing such links on sections of other wiki pages.
I know there's a "See also" section at the bottom of the page, but a more specific link would be useful for that particular topic, both for readers and editors of the pages. I imagine that the section should ideally be a kind of extract or summary of the other page, but by the looks of the differences in content, they don't seem to be as in-sync and symbiotic as I think they should be.
I'm inexperienced in editing Wikipedia pages, so I'm looking for advice or guidelines.

Hi - I am trying to get permission to use a photographer's picture of Elisa Izaurralde. I found the /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Requesting_copyright_permission page and want to make sure I understand it fully before potentially giving the photographer false information. Is all that she needs to do is email an affirmative response after I inform her of the terms of CC by-SA? And then I upload the image and forward the emails to Wikipedia, etc.? Basically, I want to confirm that all she has to do is grant permission in writing and I don't need to ask her to do anything else (e.g. upload the image herself). Thanks for your help and patience.

Dear all,
While browsing through the wiki pages a week ago I saw the page 'List of timetravel games'. I saw the big list of games and noticed that my game wasn't mentioned on the article yet . Just in case you didn't know yet I'm a game designer, historian and writer - but probably not 'notable' enough. So I decided to add my own game to the list but then the question arose: what if people want to know more about the game? So I decided to write an article about my game...
Today I received the following message after creating my article Lost in Time (cardgame):
"This is like a big promotional page about the game, but aside from one link to BGG you've given us no evidence of the Notability of the game, why it matters. Here's the short version of what we need to see:
Articles generally require significant coverage in reliable sources
that are independent of the topic."
Could you please let me know what you consider 'notable'? And could you please refrain from accusing me of intentionally trying to promote my game?
Thanks!

Hello Wiki community,
I'm excited to finally join Wikipedia as I've been hoping to include an article about Terry M. McGovern, she is this incredible researcher fighting the HIV/AIDS epidemic who was appointed by President Bill Clinton on his National Task Force on AIDS Drug Development in the 90s. A few people and I would like to create a page and I have begun to add information. Surprisingly, a few other people have recently contributed. I understand the process for the article to be accepted/published does take some time. I don't want to provide too much information as it may not be accepted and I have found many and am still researching articles to cite the information. My question is, with the article currently in my sandbox how do I have someone review it for approval? I would appreciate any help and advice I can get.
Thanks so much, Avid activist for ending HIV epidemic — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mailmanpopfam ( talk • contribs) 19:21, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

Is there a way to automatically translate my userface in English to all other languages? As in, the user that looks at my page sees all English words in their language? Thanks! Tolkien5 ( talk) 01:32, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
@Finnusertop So do I have to manually put in the code for each language? Tolkien5 ( talk) 01:45, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
Ok then, I'll just have to wait for someone else then... Thanks anyways! Tolkien5 ( talk) 01:59, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
That's interesting, and from my experience very true. But maybe there could be some way to at least translate basic greetings like "Hello, and welcome" into all languages? I have manually translated my page into French and Spanish, but all that I'm saying is basic stuff that I think is pretty universal and could maybe be made into some code, no? I'm no expert however, so I don't know. But thanks for answering anyways! Tolkien5 ( talk) 10:49, 29 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi / Julle, I have tried to use your code while checking to see if it works in a language that I haven't made a specific edit for, but it hasn't worked. This is the code right now, in large part copied from the page mentioned above:

Hi,

I applied to a job on Upwork for an editor to check links on Wikipedia to see what it was about. In part, his return post said "my idea is to insert backlinks to our products on existing Wikipedia pages related to education (all around education) Our product is essay writing service so backlinks have to be aded to some ralted pages.I don't have any concrete Wiki pages on my mind so it's a challenge for freelancer to search for such pages and to insert our link over there. We have had some attempts to add links on some pages, but all of them were not successfull. Moderators on Wiki have removed our links instantly. So before going into details I'd like to ask you can you guarantee that your links will be live within a month?". Should I turn this in to Upwork or is there anything that should be done. I just started editing here (don't have but a tiny bit of text on my page) and don't know if this is common or allowed or what. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greybeard Rich ( talk • contribs) 23:54, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
Hi, I'm wondering whether to add a "see also" link to a section/sub-section, and if so, how that should be formatted.
The page I'm interested in editing is: Relaxation (psychology). The "Relaxation techniques" section of that page is a mini-version of the wiki page: Relaxation technique. I think I remember seeing such links on sections of other wiki pages.
I know there's a "See also" section at the bottom of the page, but a more specific link would be useful for that particular topic, both for readers and editors of the pages. I imagine that the section should ideally be a kind of extract or summary of the other page, but by the looks of the differences in content, they don't seem to be as in-sync and symbiotic as I think they should be.
I'm inexperienced in editing Wikipedia pages, so I'm looking for advice or guidelines.
Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ssaea ( talk • contribs) 04:22, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
To answer my own question (above) about adding a "See also" link, I've found the solution on the page: Citation signal, in the "Cf" section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ssaea ( talk • contribs) 04:31, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
