I'm a pretty new WP user, and just got involved in my first controversial article, the Alex Jones page. First, let me clear the fact that I first incorrectly edited this page, which was undone and I was corrected. I figured out how to edit correctly, with gaining consensus first. So here's my problem: I took a look at the page amid the recent controversy and noticed what I thought to be contentious content. This is both in the first sentence, where it states "Alexander Emric Jones (born February 11, 1974)[1][2][3] is an American radio show host and conspiracy theorist.[4][5][6][7][8]", and another sentence that states "Jones runs a website, Infowars.com, devoted to conspiracy theories, fake news,[11][12][13] and selling dietary supplements under his own name." The problems are where it states "...is a conspiracy theorist" and "...is devoted to fake news". I thought, I'd try getting consensus to change it. The points I brought up were that, since many people follow Alex Jones, and the sources aren't neutral, it seems to violate the NPOV and as well as Bios on living persons. I suggested that the article should instead say Jones is "widely regarded as a conspiracy theorist", or that Infowars is "widely regarded as fake news". Another argument I tried making is that "fake news" is a neologism, not an official term. So, it's impossible to dogmatically state that without being biassed. Anyway, I noticed some previous postings agreed with me, but after I posted this, I got nothing but users saying that Jones IS a conspiracy theorist, and saying I don't understand the rules. Someone even came to MY talk and accused ME of "advocating for a political position"!!!! –– This is obviously info that does not NEED to be stated in the description of Jones unless someone is trying to make a point. Refer to Osama bin Laden, Louis Farrakhan or Antifa. See how neutral they are! Some of the citations provided on the page (not sure if they will show up here, but please check them out) are from websites that are generally considered reliable, but the particular articles are obviously opinionated. According to the policies on Biographies of Living Persons, one can remove these contentious edits without seeking consensus. So I tried that too, but someone put them right back up. Finally, someone sent me this LINK, and I'm considering using one of it's options, but I'm unsure which one to use, if any.
Can I please get someone's opinion on whether I'm correct about this whole thing. If these people are in the wrong, what is the best way to go about getting the article properly edited to have a NPOV? But before you answer this post, please check out my posts in the Alex Jones Talk Page, near the bottom, as well as my TP.

this draft has been in good shape.I hold serious concerns regarding the citations used in the article, many of which are not reliable - the use of the Metro, for instance, doesn't seem encyclopedic. This fact is currently hidden as the citations are not fully in-line. Moreover, notability, and particularly recentism, seem to be issues - the draft as written currently seems more fitting for KnowYourMeme (from where a lot of the draft appears to have originated, with some lines directly copied) than Wikipedia, and may be better merged into the existing article about Ninja. Nonetheless, the answer to your question is to be patient, and await a review. Hope this helps, Stormy clouds ( talk) 12:16, 11 August 2018 (UTC).
Hello, it's me again. So sorry again. Anyway, I was just wondering about adding pictures to articles. I expanded the page on Gail Honeyman a little and made a new category in it (named books) and well I wanted to add a picture of her onto the page as she doesn't have one and I find it a little offensive :D I looked on commons and there were no images of her on there. Do I have to take images off of commons only or can I use the internet? (I'm not sure what the policy is here but I'd be happy to learn (: )

Hello -
I'm looking for advice into a sticky situation. Let me be right up front: I am a paid editor. I have always tried to be above board in my COI declarations, putting them up everywhere I can think of. You can see my COI declaration history on my User page. Even though I'm being paid by clients, I have always tried to abide by NPOV requirements in all of the articles I've worked on, and have received supportive messages from other non-paid Wikipedia editors.
I recently rewrote the Kelly D. Brownell article because the original editor wasn't as conscientious about adhering to NPOV (or even declaring a COI, for that matter). I also recently submitted a draft article on behalf of another client, and did get some feedback from an editor but it was somewhat non-constructive. I'm working on trying to fix what I think are the issues with the draft, but since the feedback was non-specific, it's a bit slow going.
My concern now is that anything I submit might be being singled out because of my COI declarations. Again, yes - I am a paid editor. I have and will continue to be very transparent about this. That being said, I have also tried very hard to maintain NPOV and adhere strictly to not only Wikipedia's rules for paid editing, but to the MOS. The original version of the Brownell article had two flags on it - a COI flag and a neutrality flag. At the time, both were warranted (see comment above about the original editor). After the rewrite, the flags were removed by another editor who thought the article passed muster. Now, the article has been edited by the same editor who objected to my draft, and the flags are back.
Would anyone like to suggest how I might help resolve these issues? Or if I'm way off-base about my COI triggering my submissions to singled out? I want to work with the editing community, not against it. I hesitate to enter a dispute of any kind because I'm fully aware that paid editors are frowned upon. I'm trying to be the exception to the rule, and be a paid editor that actually leaves Wikipedia a better place than she found it.
So...any suggestions? Any input is warmly welcomed and very appreciated.

Dr. Georges Viau was a notable french art collector and significant donor to several French museums. He does have a page on Wikipedia.fr [1]. He was also close friends with Paul J. Sachs and Herman Armour Webster. It is very difficult to find information about him in English. I could probably translate the page, but I would rather that someone with a greater proficiency in French than I possess do so. When that is done I would be happy to add the Webster, Sachs material which comes from the Harvard Fogg Museum Archives

The sources that I found are mostly from a newspaper and some articles on wayback machine. Wiki send me a message that the sources are unreliable. Any ideas why a newspaper would be an unreliable source ? The article in the paper was not an opinion piece

Hello,
I have recently noticed that the picture for the Jonah crab's Wikipedia page (Cancer borealis) is actually one of the species it's most often confused with, the Atlantic rock crab (Cancer irroratus). As someone who barely edited Wikipedia years ago (and did it poorly), my simple question is how I would go about changing the picture? A new one with a verifiable source will be necessary, I'm sure. I'm interested in adding pages as well as enhancing existing ones for Brachyura (i.e. crabs), so this is step one of many.
Thank you,

Hello there!
I'm writing a wiki page for Musician that has many links from other artists, but he doesn't have his own page. I want to know the best way to create the verifiable Discography and fix the connections to those links that reference the artist I'm publishing the page for. For the Discography do I need to create a separate page for each work in the discography? If so, how do I do that while the main page is under review? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much in advance.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Sorensongs ( talk • contribs) 16:06, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
Regarding discographies, you need to be able to meet WP:SAL. A separate Wikipedia article for each entry should only be created if the entries themselves meet WP:NALBUM or WP:NSONG. As to whether each individual entry has to have its own stand-alone article, please take a look at WP:LSC. It's possible that a discography section might be OK to add to the musicians article, but there might not be enough of back catalog to support a stand-alone article. You can try asking for feedback at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Discographies.
You can start a draft article by going to WP:DRAFTS and following the instructions there. You might also want to read Wikipedia:Your first article for some general advice on writing articles, Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Music for advice on writing music-related articles, and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons for relevant policy related to writing about living persons. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 07:47, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

You can start a draft article by going to WP:DRAFTS and following the instructions there. You might also want to read Wikipedia:Your first article for some general advice on writing articles, Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Music for advice on writing music-related articles, and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons for relevant policy related to writing about living persons. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 07:47, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
