Hello, Thank you for your kind invitation. Earlier I tried to learn how to write the correct article for Wikipedia, but I did not succeed. Now I'm determined to learn how to write articles for Wikipedia, but I still can not solve some problems. For example, I could not correctly link references and bibliography in my draft article. I do not understand what my mistake is. Please help me correct errors in the article and edit it correctly. Thank you in advance for your kind help. Sincerely, Integral59 ( talk) 22:26, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
I thank you for your prompt and detailed response. Regarding external and internal links, I think I understand everything and try to fix it. As for the subject of the article, I want to consult. I have cited several references to external sources and ask you to kindly see which of them are considered authoritative:
Extended content
|
---|
1. MAIN PUBLICATIONS
2.Bibliography
3. External links Publication on the UN website; Publication on the NATO website; Publication in the State Information Agency of Azerbaijan; The show is on the central television channels of Turkey. |
I would also like to ask, if in the text I'm talking about a member of a particular organization, for example, the International Academy of Sciences, can I link to the official website of this Academy? Thank you for your kind help. Yours faithfully, Integral59 ( talk) 23:09, 21 July 2018 (UTC)

This user's name matches a well known person and is making edits to "their" Wikipedia article. Soft Block?-- Thegooduser Let's Chat 🍁 20:17, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
I just recently used Grammarly and/or Formatter while copy editing an article. I spotted an error and asked Grammarly if it was right or not. It showed me a few more and I decided to accept those as changes also. Now, do I have to cite Grammarly or Formatter for being the englighter for changes to be made? If so, How should I do it?

I remember we used to have a few underage admins, so unless policy has changed I think we allow it. (It has been several years since I've seen them, though). There probably would be some folks who !vote "oppose" just because of your age, but I think the powers-that-be ignore !votes that are not based on policy or good reason.

I am having an issue in a article that I am looking after where someone without a wikipedia account keeps changing information every time. Unlike registered users I cannot really use the talk page and I don't think this person knows how wikipedia work. When I requested the page to be Semi-Protected, my request got declined saying "Not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection., the only edit this week which looks like possible vandalism is presumably a failed attempt to add valid info to the template".

Hi Teahouse folks, it's good to see you again. I think I've gotten involved in an edit war on a moderately popular article... and since it concerns the wording of just one sentence, I find it faster to just redo the edit once every 24 hours in order to stay well clear of WP:3RR, than to go to the talk page. However, I think the other involved editors are somehow getting notified for my edits, which is surprising given that I'm erasing the automatically generated edit summary, which tags their usernames, and writing a new summary each time. Does this have to do with tags, specifically an undo tag, that's getting applied every time I use the undo button? If so, how can I get around this tagging process which is only drawing the whole issue out - should I just rewrite the sentence each time instead of using the handy undo button?

I work for an author who asked me to do the Wiki coding in order to expand a philosopher stub. I did this in a few steps (a couple not logged in). He was dissatisfied, wanted more time to think about his entry, and asked me to revert (remove any changes I'd made). I attempted to do this several times, both logged in and not--by clicking on the earlier date, clicking Edit, and publishing changes. I see the earlier page pop up, but every time we go back into Wiki, my published page shows up again as if I didn't do anything. I'm baffled and need help please.

I've been on Wikipedia for 3 and a half years, but I figured this would be a good place to ask this, because I can't figure it out.

I have a cyberstalker who has been harassing online me since September 2017. Violent threats via email, fake ads using my private facebook details and likeness, typical stalker stuff. Recently I found out two to three dozen edit to various wiki pages, referencing my name. All of them are violations of Wikipedia terms of service against harassment and vandalizing.
Is there a way to regex block text edits containing my name? Freeze edits to a page?
Banning usernames or IP does not help, because he simply creates a new one elsewhere or moves to a different wifi spot.

If a bike is standing still then it will fall (if it's not supported by anything), but if the bike is moving at a fast speed it will not fall unless if it slows down.
What is the physical law that if an object is moving as a fast speed the object's area of support (that thing that will make the object fall if the center of gravity is over it) will increase
What is the formula for this magical bike physic change? Has anyone thought about it in the past? Never heard of Eistein riding a bike and thinking about "But why doesen't it fall if i move the center of gravity over the wheels?"

I am trying to add to the set of Wikipedia Pages for The New York Times Non-Fiction Best Sellers by Year. Wikipedia currently has pages for 2000-2018, and a few years scattered between 1931 - 2000. I submitted a page for 1999, following the same style as the pages for years that had previously been reported and apparently approved. The reviewer denied the page saying 'Lacks significant coverage in multiple independent verifiable secondary sources'. The currently existing pages for 2000-2018 have very few references, all from the NYTimes itself and no other independent secondary source. How can I improve the page so that it's approved? Should the pages that exist now include more references? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charmquark2 ( talk • contribs) 13:36, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

I'd like to create a page to act as a pronunciation guide for Pokémon names. I know this isn't suitable for the mainspace—though I intend for it to be informative, it's not up to notability standards. So my question is, would such a thing be acceptable in the userspace, as a subpage of my user page?
I'm looking through the userspace policy, but not finding a clear-cut answer. Would it be considered a "personal writing suitable within the Wikipedia community", or closer to "extensive writings and material on topics having virtually no chance whatsoever of being directly useful to the project, its community, or an encyclopedia article"? ("No chance whatsoever" seems to me like it'd have to be a tad more extreme.)
The reason I want to have this on Wikipedia is because I think it would benefit greatly from Wikipedia's pronunciation-related templates, particularly {{ IPAc-en}} and {{ Respell}}. If, say, Bulbapedia had these templates, I'd be looking into putting it there instead, but I'd like to know if this is an option first.

Hi Teahouse,
I am unsure of the best way to publish a dab page I have in draft. There are multiple Richard Vogt articles (different people), and I think a disambiguation page would be useful. Would it be possible for you to give some feedback, or to help me publish it if it is deemed suitable?

Should the pages that exist now include more references? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Charmquark2 ( talk • contribs) 13:36, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
I have an automatic archive on my talk page and came here and asked how to stop it from archiving a section I wanted to keep. It apparently didn't work because that section is gone now. Can someone tell me how to keep what I want to keep? Jenhawk777 ( talk) 02:54, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
I'd like to create a page to act as a pronunciation guide for Pokémon names. I know this isn't suitable for the mainspace—though I intend for it to be informative, it's not up to notability standards. So my question is, would such a thing be acceptable in the userspace, as a subpage of my user page?
I'm looking through the userspace policy, but not finding a clear-cut answer. Would it be considered a "personal writing suitable within the Wikipedia community", or closer to "extensive writings and material on topics having virtually no chance whatsoever of being directly useful to the project, its community, or an encyclopedia article"? ("No chance whatsoever" seems to me like it'd have to be a tad more extreme.)
The reason I want to have this on Wikipedia is because I think it would benefit greatly from Wikipedia's pronunciation-related templates, particularly {{ IPAc-en}} and {{ Respell}}. If, say, Bulbapedia had these templates, I'd be looking into putting it there instead, but I'd like to know if this is an option first.

Regarding https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Illustrated_Daily_News&type=revision&diff=851567356&oldid=851206795, I can't figure out how to appeal the deletion of an image, even though I have BeenAroundAWhile ( talk) 23:59, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
Hi there! I created my first article without logging into my account; /info/en/?search=Draft:The_Ondo_State_Wealth_Creation_Agency. When I discovered this, I moved the page some days after, into the main article space, and it got deleted yesterday; https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=The_Ondo_State_Wealth_Creation_Agency&action=edit I don’t know how to rectify this. Please help. Thanks! Wikkyexpert ( talk) 21:20, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi Teahouse,
I am unsure of the best way to publish a dab page I have in draft. There are multiple Richard Vogt articles (different people), and I think a disambiguation page would be useful. Would it be possible for you to give some feedback, or to help me publish it if it is deemed suitable? Thanks for your help - sorry, I find these types of pages the most tricky. /info/en/?search=Draft:Richard_Vogt

Can I switch a new watchlist off globally? I mean to do it once, effective on all languages Wikipedias, Wikibooks, Commons etc. Or do I have to go to preferences and click the checkbox at each site separately? -- CiaPan ( talk) 06:12, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
