This question is probably answered in Wikipedia's Manual of Style, but I can't find it. Should "U.S." be used after a city and state (for example, "Inglewood, California, U.S.") in an article's text or infobox or both? I see it used just enough to make me wonder.

I am looking for a secondary source for a very contemporary artist.The artist is a reggae jazz musician which has peaked in popularity yet a real secondary source should be an established critical magazine or book on contemporary jazz not just a newsfeed. As you can imagine finding this secondary source is really difficult especially since the artist is so brand new and just beginning to be noticed.How can I catch the moment? — Preceding unsigned comment added by James farr 2 ( talk • contribs) 2018-08-04T16:42:32 (UTC)
There's a page with a couple paragraphs that have been noted to have an 'ad-like' tone. ( /info/en/?search=Network_Device_Interface) I'm considering condensing the wording in them so they are less so, but still keeping the same general information. Is this an appropriate action? I'm generally new to this and want to be sure I'm acting appropriately.

I have been editing the social media article to clean up sources, and something doesn't feel right about one of the paragraphs. The paragraph in question is in the section about criticisms of social media.
In an abbreviated format, the paragraph reads like this:
The full paragraph is the second one under this section here. The paragraph has two citations.
On the one hand, I think WP's policies state that if a criticism of Wikipedia is generally accepted and is well-sourced, it should be included in the appropriate article. Not having criticism of Wikipedia on Wikipedia would be a form of censorship, right?
On the other hand, here are the red flags I am seeing:
What is the best course of action in this case? Is it appropriate to delete the paragraph because it is based on questionable sources and because it is better to have nothing at all than have bad sources? Or, do we keep or edit the paragraph because maybe the material is true and deserves a citation-needed flag?
Thank you for helping out a new editor-- Romhilde ( talk) 05:09, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
It is a primary source; these authors conducted the research themselves and then drew conclusions about it. This alone should disqualify it, right?Primary sources published in independent scholarly sources, such as peer reviewed conference proceedings, are allowed in most Wikipedia articles, as long as they are cited properly and not interpreted - more about that here.

Yesterday, I made a few pages/ articles that were pre WP:SPLIT but the info is still on List of My Hero Academia episodes, then I split it apart by season at here, here, and here. But since there is 3 seasons of this show, I think there has to be an episode template? As advised from someone at my talk page. But for the article/ page title, the "year" might sound irrelevant, by WP:COMMONNAME, maybe? And I mention this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga#heads up for this one. too.

The article on San Francisco History has NOTHING on the Presidio. The Presidio was a post in the Spanish-American War and the Philippine American War. It was home to Buffalo Soldiers. [1]
I edited the article and the source cited was a government website.
This is verifiable.
Whomever is the Editorial Police around here perhaps should brush up on their San Francisco history. It's a gross oversight to have nothing on the Presido and its involvement as a Post during war.
The post referenced the National Park Service information on the Presidio.
As someone who volunteered an hour today to update this, I don't appreciate it being deleted.

WP endorses the use of an IP address as a form of identification on WP. I have basically been threatened by another editor that appears to be a senior editor about my use of an IP address: "I have also advised you three times now to register." What do i get to do to address this matter formally? Just how is it that my editing skills are to improve because I register a user name instead of using what WP endorsres--anIP address? I think that this editor has over stepped the bounds of community spirit with this alluded threat? 2605:E000:9149:A600:34D8:EC05:8EC2:B095 ( talk) 10:50, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
With regards to the “threat” specifically. The correct context (which has been left out by the complainant) can be found on my talk page. I was responding to the IP’s assumed question (or rant, but I assumed it was a question about me suggesting the IP NOT register an account). As far as I am aware, and for atleast the past 11 years I’ve been on here, WP endorses people creating an account.
Every User here will agree with me when I say that it’s easier to use WP with an account, having the tools at our disposal. Also some articles can only be edited by confirmed users. The IP user has already identified as bring a 17 year ‘veteran’ editor of WP. Wether the IP chooses to create an account is neither here or there for me.
From the start the IP user was on the offensive, making it difficult, but I certainly kept it civil, even after the IP user attempted to bait me. The welcome message for disruptive editing was used first, then after more disruptive edits were made, I used the level 3 warning for disruptive editing (see IP Users talk page). Both templates include an element suggesting the IP User creates an account. Nford24 ( PE121 Personnel Request Form) 21:21, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
When did I say i was a 17 year veteran? You have to understand that what you call something just may be an unfortunate summation. WP today is not what WP was when it foirst started. My "participation" with WP is not the same today as it was years ago. I would find it unfortunate to characterise what was "participation" years ago with an occasional read and an occasional edit the same as what I may do on occasion now? You have to pay attention to the details and not what are prejudices. That statement to some is being disruptive. I do not have aspirations of being an administrator. OH! he doesn't have aspirations ....... This is how i characterise some things. I do not go to the same type of "cocktail" parties as you might. SThis statement to some will cause them to think that some this person is not WP material. I have already said that i do not have the same administrative aspirations as so many others.I am not on a witch hunt. 2605:E000:9149:A600:7D56:CC3:EA51:5FBF ( talk) 00:48, 5 August 2018 (UTC)

I have been accused of being a single purpose account because I have been trying to add information to Sarah Jeong, which has been an extremely contentious page. I think it's ridiculous that someone has accused me of this, but now I am afraid that my account is going to get banned. If you look at my edit history, of course I have made many many edits to the talk page because it is a contentious issue and people are discussing what the content should look like; many of the comments are me supporting or opposing other suggestions to the page, and the number of those can rack up quite quickly apparently. I have worked much harder on other articles such as Utilis Coquinario, Meristem, Trophic state index, and Hănești. Particularly I have spent hours and hours working on Utilis Coquinario, which I created from scratch!
Am I supposed to stop working on Sarah Jeong now because someone has accused me of this? Is there a rule about having more than "1/3" of my edits coming from one page as one user referenced on the admin noticeboard? Why would someone think I have a "single purpose account", and how can I avoid that? Ikjbagl ( talk) 22:09, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
If you search for the Dayton Art Institute, the Wikipedia search engine returns this single sentence description: “Art museum in Columbus, Ohio”. That is incorrect.

Yes, the article itself is fine. The error was only present in the short description. Using Newslinger’s tip, I was able to correct that. Everything is working well now. Tabrhs ( talk) 22:04, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
{{
Short description}}
within an article, typically at the very top above everything else. It takes a single unnamed parameter (though |1=
can also work), which is the short description. Usually, the short description used at the Wikidata entry can be copied and used within the template, or the new short description here can be added to the Wikidata one there, but the point of localizing it is to bring it within the scope of Wikipedia for internal monitoring and control. For example, this error you noticed might have been caught quicker if it was in a short description template here, since there are many more editors here who might notice.If you are interested in contributing to the initiative, feel free to add {{Short description}}
s to the top of pages, as well. Regardless, thanks for your help catching these errors. —

I do not see any editing options listed on the search returns page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tabrhs ( talk • contribs) 16:25, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
Thank you! I was able to correct the description. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tabrhs ( talk • contribs) 17:27, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
Yes, the article itself is fine. The error was only present in the short description. Using Newslinger’s tip, I was able to correct that. Everything is working well now. Tabrhs ( talk) 22:04, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
{{
Short description}}
within an article, typically at the very top above everything else. It takes a single unnamed parameter (though |1=
can also work), which is the short description. Usually, the short description used at the Wikidata entry can be copied and used within the template, or the new short description here can be added to the Wikidata one there, but the point of localizing it is to bring it within the scope of Wikipedia for internal monitoring and control. For example, this error you noticed might have been caught quicker if it was in a short description template here, since there are many more editors here who might notice.If you are interested in contributing to the initiative, feel free to add {{Short description}}
s to the top of pages, as well. Regardless, thanks for your help catching these errors. —

Hi, I have noticed a need for improvements in this article, but have no desire to become an editor at this point. Where, if anywhere, can I post a comment about this to make editors aware of it?
Yrs,

Haha, yes I felt a bit silly for posting here after I figured that out on my own. Thanks for your time. — Preceding
