Baikalia is almost entirely the same as Lake_Baikal#History. Does policy state that it should be put forth for deletion? The Verified Cactus 100% 23:39, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
I searched up a Wikipedia page that was about me and found out it was deleted. I thought you guys would be interested in me? Because it says that I was mistaken as The Disney Brain and I'm not really a YouTuber at all. Somebody seems to be not noticing some information about me. Actually there was a draft somebody made for me and it also got deleted. Why would you use a photo of me for that article/draft? Because I wasn't famous enough?

Hello, I am relatively new to Wikipedia and I would like to improve the quality of the antioxidant article (promoted to FA-status in 2007). I feel that there are numerous issues with the article, which I have started to enumerate on talk:antioxidant. In my opinion, it is of B-class, but I would like input from more experienced Wikipedians. My theory is that it would be easier to edit and get more attention if it went through an FA review. Would it be worth putting up for FA-Review? How would this be done? Would this make improving it any easier? Or should I leave the rating be and improve it where possible?

So I am relatively new to Wikipedia and still haven't grasped the rules completely.
I've added
a line on the
Felix Brych article about a tax evasion investigation launched against him by the German police. But
User:S.A. Julio
reverted it on the grounds that it was
WP:UNDUE.. When I saw that, I started a discussion on that article's talk page about adding that line and outlined my arguments there, pinged
User:S.A. Julio to that talk page and
reverted his reversion, while also copying my arguments from the talk page into the edit summary of my reversion as well as asking him in the summary to join the discussion on the talk page.
However, Julio did not join me on the talk page, and again
reverted my edit, this time citing
WP:WELLKNOWN. Since he was nowhere to be found on the talk page, I again
reverted his reversion, and, again, in the edit summary, cited arguments against [WP:WELLKNOWN] and. again, asked him to go to the talk page . At this point I also went to his talk page, outlined my arguments, again, and, again, asked him to join the discussion that I've started on that referees' talk page.
He didn't join the discussion and reverted again, this time citing WP:BRD. I then reverted him, and in the edit summary outlined my arguments why BRD doesn't fit this situation and asked him to go the talk page. But then I realised that that reversion would be my third, and since there's a three-revert rule I reverted that reversion of mine.
My question is: who is in the wrong? Did he break the three-revert rule with his reversions? In the last reversion of his he, in the edit summary, said, and I quote:
WP:BRD, a possible BLP violation which is contested should be discussed first)(undo |
thank) which is ironic since I was asking him from the start to join the discussion that Ive started on the talk page after his first reversion of my original edit/ It's been an hour since I started that discussion on the talk page, and he still hasn't joined. I can't revert his reversion since that would mean breaking the 3-reverts rule. What am I supposed to do in this specific case, according to Wikipedia's rules?
P.S. There has been more reversions on both my and his part than three, but those were against IP users, because the page has been brigaded by vandals and I don't count those reversions since we were reverting obvious vandalisms.
P.P.S. sorry for the broken English.

So I want to delete the account as having two accounts on Wikipedia is not allowed (also because I think the name Hi im gosu in itself is violating the Terms of Use, as there's a popular League of Legends Twitch.tv streamer called Gosu, but I am not this person), but I don't know how to. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks. - Biscuit-in-Chief ( talk) 21:47, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for the answer. I'll write a small note on my User Page about me having two accounts.
This "not very well known" gosu has 1.2 million subscribers on YouTube and 1.4 million followers on Twitch. Isn't that quite well known?
Anyway, it doesn't matter.

Hi,
I am new editor in Wikipedia. While going through the article on Jarnail Singh (footballer), I felt that a new subsection should be added to highlight the fact that apart from being considered as one of the best defenders of Indian Football, his goals in the 1962 Asian Games Football semi-final and final matches helped India secure the gold medal. If a viewer or a reader wants to get an information on Jarnail Singh, the footballer, he/she would inevitably reach this page and would know that he played in the defence but wouldn't know that he also scored goals in the crucial matches which I have mentioned above. I would like to add that subsection mentioning the goals he scored in the Asian Games and their significance. Please suggest how to goa about it and also a suitable heading for the proposed section

Hi guys,
I had an article rejected as the sources were said to be unreliable? However the majority of the sources were Irish newspapers websites, Official University links to their website, and personal websites of people mentioned in the article? I'm not sure how i can make my sources more reliable?
Is it possible for someone to review my submission through here and offer advice? I'd like to begin adding a lot more articles, but this is a bit of a step back.

Hello everyone,
Recently I approved James Cyriax with page curation, but the article wasn't quite where I wanted it to be, and so I decided to have a go at actually editing article content (I usually stick to the GOCE and NPP). I found several images of the man in question, such as this one, this one, and this one, but I am not sure if any of them are considered fair use or not. All of the images appear to be from a source other than the hosts of the content, but do not provide a source. Additionally, the Wikipedia:Non-free content page mentions not to use non-free content of living people, but does not mention the deceased. Thanks for any help, Xevus11 ( talk) 22:37, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

Since March 2017 a page I have been working on Draft:European_Beat_Studies_Network has been rejected multiple times. I do not agree with the most recent notability rejections, which seem borderline and based on semantic distinctions. My argument is that the EBSN effectively is its conferences and publications, and that the sources are independent of the subject, even if they contain testimony from members of the EBSN. Since the conferences have been discussed in national newspapers and elsewhere the EBSN does constitute a notable subject for inclusion in Wikipedia. If you apply the rule that all members of the EBSN constitute the subject, then effectively anything written in the media about any of the members can constitute notability material for the network - which is absurd! I hope Teahouse members can see my problem/frustration. The last review rejected the page without mentioning notability (it questioned sources, which turned out to be fine) - so does that mean the issue is now resolved? Can anyone help or suggest ways to improve the article? I expect to be told to give up on this article, which seems a shame... many thanks in advance.

13:38, 24 June 2018 (UTC)Hello, new user here!
So I recently got into Wikipedia its a little confusing I am still trying to figure it out. I recently made an account and I am trying to get my edits up so I had my TV on in the background and I saw a lawyer on there that I see weekly talking about cases in San Diego. I thought ok I can maybe add edits to his page. So I go to it, add some citations where they were lacking I think like 2 or three and the next day the article is being considered for deletion. I then was like ok well this is cool because its a learning experience for me and I can learn more about wikipedia. So I read a ton and I posted my "keep" opinion on the talk page for it.
When this type of thing happens, what happens next? how long is it considered for deletion? who makes the final decision?
The last question is, did this happen because of any edits I made. I have never met this attorney but I have seen him at least 50 times on local news in one week handling a case and now usually weekly. He is probably the most well-known lawyer in all of San Diego and handled our biggest criminal case ever in San Diego history. I would feel terrible if me trying to add to the page messed things up for his page.

Hello. I have an account called Hi im Gosu which I cannot remember the password to. I did not link my email address which was a mistake, I have realised. So I want to delete the account as having two accounts on Wikipedia is not allowed (also because I think the name Hi im gosu in itself is violating the Terms of Use, as there's a popular League of Legends Twitch.tv streamer called Gosu, but I am not this person), but I don't know how to. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks. - Biscuit-in-Chief ( talk) 21:47, 22 June 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for the answer. I'll write a small note on my User Page about me having two accounts.
This "not very well known" gosu has 1.2 million subscribers on YouTube and 1.4 million followers on Twitch. Isn't that quite well known?
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
Thanks for the answer.

I was told by member Xx236 that I could not create my first page because it was not up to your standards. Is it because she is not popular enough to be acknowledged on Wikipedia ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stvn1 ( talk • contribs) 12:46, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi,
I am new editor in Wikipedia. While going through the article on Jarnail Singh (footballer), I felt that a new subsection should be added to highlight the fact that apart from being considered as one of the best defenders of Indian Football, his goals in the 1962 Asian Games Football semi-final and final matches helped India secure the gold medal. If a viewer or a reader wants to get an information on Jarnail Singh, the footballer, he/she would inevitably reach this page and would know that he played in the defence but wouldn't know that he also scored goals in the crucial matches which I have mentioned above. I would like to add that subsection mentioning the goals he scored in the Asian Games and their significance. Please suggest how to goa about it and also a suitable heading for the proposed section

edit my account. You can change many things about how Wikipedia appears and behaves for you at Special:Preferences. Your user page User:Iyere Ezekiel, reads as if it is the start of a Wikipedia article. Please do not do that. It should describe you as a Wikipedia editor. It can say a little bit about who you are, but it should not read like a resume or an advertisement or an article. It may describe your interests or work done or planned here. See our guideline on user pages for more detail.

14:29, 23 June 2018 (UTC)Hello everybody! If I am right, I guess the Alpine pika does have its record on Wikidata. This is because its class is not mentioned GA but has a question mark similar to the DYK symbol instead. If you could suggest how to amend that I would be much grateful. Thank you! :) Adityavagarwal ( talk) 15:30, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
Hi guys,
I had an article rejected as the sources were said to be unreliable? However the majority of the sources were Irish newspapers websites, Official University links to their website, and personal websites of people mentioned in the article? I'm not sure how i can make my sources more reliable?
Is it possible for someone to review my submission through here and offer advice? I'd like to begin adding a lot more articles, but this is a bit of a step back.

Hello everyone,
Recently I approved James Cyriax with page curation, but the article wasn't quite where I wanted it to be, and so I decided to have a go at actually editing article content (I usually stick to the GOCE and NPP). I found several images of the man in question, such as this one, this one, and this one, but I am not sure if any of them are considered fair use or not. All of the images appear to be from a source other than the hosts of the content, but do not provide a source. Additionally, the Wikipedia:Non-free content page mentions not to use non-free content of living people, but does not mention the deceased. Thanks for any help, Xevus11 ( talk) 22:37, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
I made a couple of very minor edits (removed an errant bracket (]} and fixed a broken link, but another user reversed the changes as not constructive. The page is David Fair. Also, in reversing the changes, the other user reinstated an old photo that had been replaced by a more recent one. Is this acceptable? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rudard ( talk • contribs) 22:58, 23 June 2018 (UTC)
Since March 2017 a page I have been working on Draft:European_Beat_Studies_Network has been rejected multiple times. I do not agree with the most recent notability rejections, which seem borderline and based on semantic distinctions. My argument is that the EBSN effectively is its conferences and publications, and that the sources are independent of the subject, even if they contain testimony from members of the EBSN. Since the conferences have been discussed in national newspapers and elsewhere the EBSN does constitute a notable subject for inclusion in Wikipedia. If you apply the rule that all members of the EBSN constitute the subject, then effectively anything written in the media about any of the members can constitute notability material for the network - which is absurd! I hope Teahouse members can see my problem/frustration. The last review rejected the page without mentioning notability (it questioned sources, which turned out to be fine) - so does that mean the issue is now resolved? Can anyone help or suggest ways to improve the article? I expect to be told to give up on this article, which seems a shame... many thanks in advance.

|url=
parameter. For an online source, please also give the date it was checked or retrieved. The template does this with the |access-date=
parameter. Note that for an online source, please give the name of the publication, and not the online domain or web address in the |work=
or |website=
parameter if using templates. If an online publication does not have page numbers, omit them, do not make something up. You can read

13:38, 24 June 2018 (UTC)Hello, new user here!
So I recently got into Wikipedia its a little confusing I am still trying to figure it out. I recently made an account and I am trying to get my edits up so I had my TV on in the background and I saw a lawyer on there that I see weekly talking about cases in San Diego. I thought ok I can maybe add edits to his page. So I go to it, add some citations where they were lacking I think like 2 or three and the next day the article is being considered for deletion. I then was like ok well this is cool because its a learning experience for me and I can learn more about wikipedia. So I read a ton and I posted my "keep" opinion on the talk page for it.
When this type of thing happens, what happens next? how long is it considered for deletion? who makes the final decision?
The last question is, did this happen because of any edits I made. I have never met this attorney but I have seen him at least 50 times on local news in one week handling a case and now usually weekly. He is probably the most well-known lawyer in all of San Diego and handled our biggest criminal case ever in San Diego history. I would feel terrible if me trying to add to the page messed things up for his page.
