From my understanding, it meets the three rules Wikipedia:Notability Neutral point of view, Verifiability. examples, changing the subject -> The Peace Treaty on Korean Peninsula or other shorter versions, I updated the subject part on the content "A peace treaty" to "The peace treaty" as per the advice from the experienced Wikipedia user Goodtiming8871 ( talk) 00:52, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
I need help! I have been told I need a US public domain tag on four of my images and I don't know how to do that. I have also been told one of them needs a better source--???--one needs the copyright specified--and one has an unknown author--and I don't even know what to ask about that one! How can an image have an author?! I have read up on images--what I can find--and am still as clueless as I was before. Can someone simplify this for me? Or just shoot me--whichever is easiest.

eo:Et * is a DAB page on the Esperanto Wikipedia. Its title doesn't identify it as such, but the header template says
Translation:
Like ET, it lists articles with several different punctuations and capitalizations, including
So I'm trying to add [[eo:Et]]
to the list of (versions of this page in other) "Languages" sidebar section of
ET, but I keep getting an error. I'm not familiar with the process or with editing Wikidata, and I can't figure out the problem.
Wikidata does indeed have a page
Et (Q16088678), which covers [[eo:Et]]
as well as the corresponding pages in Cebuano, Finnish, Dutch, Serbo-Croatian, and Swedish. Dutch and Swedish are also listed in
ET (Q537953), and at least Dutch cross-refers from [[ne:Et]]
to [[ne:ET]]
. [[eo:ET]]
redirects to [[eo:Et]]
, so I tried to add [[eo:ET]]
to
ET (Q537953), but that brings up the same error.
Is there any way of getting [[eo:Et]]
into the sidebar for
en:ET?
* I was typing the title here as [[eo:Et]]
, but it's not showing as anything in the page preview. When I type "eo:Et" into the "Search Wikipedia" field at the top right of this or another English Wikipedia page, it takes me right there, so I don't know WTF is wrong with that either.

@ Thnidu: You could remove the link to eo:Et from Q16088678 and add it to Q537953. Vexations ( talk) 20:04, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
[[:eo:Et]]
with a leading colon to make an inline link. [[eo:Et]]
makes a link under "Languages". There are separate Wikidata items for
ET (Q537953) and
Et (Q16088678).
eo:Et is in the latter. Three languages nl, sh, sv have separate disambiguation pages for the two capitalizations so the Wikidata items cannot be merged. In such cases Wikidata does not have a method where nl, sh, sv use the right link for their capitalization while languages which only have "ET" can link to languages which only have "Et" and vice versa. But you can add interlanguage links directly to the pages per
Help:Interlanguage links#Local links, e.g. adding [[eo:Et]]
to the bottom of
ET, and also [[ceb:Et]]
and [[fi:Et]]

Hi! I'm a new editor here, still learning the ways of things, not quite sure if this would be the right place to raise this issue. Since Bollywood and movies are my area of interest, I've been noticing a number of new pages created by the user with the same template, lacking information, and all carry just one link, to a Cinestaan.com - also, the links are mostly dead links.
I'm not sure of the process here as I have patrolled and corrected some however these are past films and lacking additional information, and are in fact largely non notable.

I'm not sure this is right dept to submit this issue.
The profile and photos of the articles on one of our high ranking military officers is being used on a scam profile on the Plenty of Fish Website. I don't see any place where I can attach the profile.
the user name on the POF online dating page is " dcrunner2" with the heading: is there any real ones out there?
There are so many scam profiles on this site impersonating military members and even though we contact the site on the issues. the problem is escalating.
This particular scam profile is using your article on Malcom B. Frost. It even shows his name tag.
I hope there is something that can be done to stop this.

I didn’t remember about signing my comments so I hope you can forgive me for forgetting. I promise I didn’t mean to insult you or anything. I hope you don’t block me for forgetting. I don’t know that much about computers yet but I hope I can learn more soon. TrexEthan ( talk) 00:09, 13 August 2018 (UTC) is that right?

Thank you, David Biddulph, for your prompt reply. In fact, I was getting worried because there was not any update nor feedback on my page entry for quite a long time. Your answer gave me peace of mind and was indeed appreciated. And thank you for moving my entry to Sandbox on my behalf, which I had no idea how to go about it. Now, I have followed your instruction and pressed "Submit your draft for review" button. It was taking me to a screen where I was asked to press "Publish changes", which I did. I'm wondering if I did everything correctly because I did not see any further notification afterwards. Kindly reply to me if there is anything further I need to do to successfully upload my page. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scc Ghim ( talk • contribs)
Thank you, PrimeHunter, for your swift reply. I think I made it properly this time.

Last week I encountered a strange alert. When I clicked the bell icon, on the top of the list an unread prompt popped up, which vanished completely when I clicked the blue dot to mark it as read -- strange!
When I checked my mails, I found a message from "HsfBot", referring me to https://id.wikipedia.org, were I am obviously already known as user, and was "invited" to log in (I did not!).
I do not know of any action from my side regarding the Indonesian WP, and feel a bit unsecure about the circumstances of vanishing alerts and unsolicited user pages.
I tried to be concise and short, but certainly I am prepaired to give additional details in case they are needed to explain this to me. Thanks in advance. Purgy ( talk) 09:21, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello everyone,
So realizing the monumental task and responsibility that is editing and contributing to Wikipedia, how does one find someone who will write proper content and is this admissible assuming most folks aren't writing about themselves.
Thank you and apologies should my question be out of line. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rofgonc ( talk • contribs) 15:05, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
find someone who will write proper content" by inviting everyone to edit, Rofgonc. The writers include anyone interested in contributing to Wikipedia. That can include you, as well. We use terms like " editor" because they are technically accurate and sound better than "person with an Internet connection and some spare time to edit an encyclopedia without pay". Most of us are not professionals; all anyone needs to help construct this encyclopedia is a bit of competence and a willingness to engage.In general, we are volunteers who contribute at our leisure. Sometimes, we do so in topic areas that interest us; for some of us, we do so even on subjects that are unfamiliar to us. If you want to participate in "
realizing the monumental task and responsibility that is editing and contributing to Wikipedia", then go for it! So long as you adhere to the five pillars, follow the rules (and sometimes ignore them), and act in good faith, you too can become an esteemed person with an Internet connection and some spare time to edit an encyclopedia without pay.And yes, autobiographic and other conflict-of-interest editing is generally not a good idea. Be thankful that you don't have an article about yourself; if you ever do, its existence will not be within your control. If you want to begin learning how to edit Wikipedia, the tutorial is a good place to start. The Wikipedia Adventure may also interest you.

I have read the rules and was not able to find an answer relating to my situation.

أريد أن أعرف لماذا تستعمل الأرقام الأوروبية 1234567890 (المعروفة أيضاً العربية الغربية) بدلاً من الأرقام العربية ١٢٣٤٥٦٧٨٩٠(المعروفج أيضاً بالأرقام الهندية أو العربية الشرقية) علي صفحات ويكيبيديا العربية ؟ رأيت علي صفحات ويكيبيديا الفارسية أنهم يستعملون الأرقام الفارسية ۱۲۳۴۵۶۷۸۹۰ فقط. و علي الصفحات الهندية، يستعملون الأرقام الهندية १२३४५६७८९०. يجب أن نعتز بلغتنا أيضاً و نستعمل أرقام لغتنا. فكيف يمكننا تغير ذلك؟ كيف نغير الأرقام الأوروبية إلي الأرقام العربية؟ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 7amada Sheikh ( talk • contribs) 23:51, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
I'm not sure this is right dept to submit this issue.
The profile and photos of the articles on one of our high ranking military officers is being used on a scam profile on the Plenty of Fish Website. I don't see any place where I can attach the profile.
the user name on the POF online dating page is " dcrunner2" with the heading: is there any real ones out there?
There are so many scam profiles on this site impersonating military members and even though we contact the site on the issues. the problem is escalating.
This particular scam profile is using your article on Malcom B. Frost. It even shows his name tag.
I hope there is something that can be done to stop this.

Hi everyone I finally finished some good pictures of different dinosaurs that I want to put in articles. I just don’t know how to do it. I took pictures of them and I have them on my computer but I don’t know how to put them in. Can anyone help? Thanks, Ethan
Also I remember some people gave me some advice before but I had to go back to school and I can’t find it in the tea house any more. Sorry if I’m repeating myself :(, Ethan
I think it’s fine because there’s another editor who has lots of drawing of dinosaurs in different articles here. - Ethan — Preceding unsigned comment added by TrexEthan ( talk • contribs) 23:38, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi David Biddulph, I am sorry that I forgot about signing (you scared me and sounded like my stepdad on my page when you said “You were told this back in April. Please do something about it.”) I haven’t been on Wikipedia in a long time and like I said I forgot about a lot of the advice and tips people gave me. I didn’t remember about signing my comments so I hope you can forgive me for forgetting. I promise I didn’t mean to insult you or anything. I hope you don’t block me for forgetting. I don’t know that much about computers yet but I hope I can learn more soon. TrexEthan ( talk) 00:09, 13 August 2018 (UTC) is that right?
I don’t know how to make the link work like it does when other people do it... I’m sorry David Biddulph I’m still learning please don’t block me. TrexEthan ( talk) 00:15, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi. My name is Sophia Ghim (user name Scc Ghim). I have submitted a new entry page for Dr. Paul Sung-Ro Lee sometime back in the beginning of this year, yet I do not see any update on this. I'll appreciate your swift and attentive responses. Could you kindly check on it and also please let me know in case anything else needs to be done? Thank you for all your hard works in helping people share their precious information and knowledge for this day and age.
Blessings, Sophia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scc Ghim ( talk • contribs) 15:16, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
Thank you, David Biddulph, for your prompt reply. In fact, I was getting worried because there was not any update nor feedback on my page entry for quite a long time. Your answer gave me peace of mind and was indeed appreciated. And thank you for moving my entry to Sandbox on my behalf, which I had no idea how to go about it. Now, I have followed your instruction and pressed "Submit your draft for review" button. It was taking me to a screen where I was asked to press "Publish changes", which I did. I'm wondering if I did everything correctly because I did not see any further notification afterwards. Kindly reply to me if there is anything further I need to do to successfully upload my page. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scc Ghim ( talk • contribs)
Thank you, PrimeHunter, for your swift reply. I think I made it properly this time. Following your guideline, I pressed "Publish changes" at the bottom, and it reads "This draft has been submitted and is currently awaiting review" and "Review Waiting" this time. Many thanks indeed! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scc Ghim ( talk • contribs)

Hi, someone hanging around being able to clarify? The wikidata reference fore Sebastian Niemann is Q103898. I was in the very honest opinion that would mean it is okay to have the draft accepted on the English Wikipedia. Thank you for your time. Lotje ( talk) 11:27, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
Hello, About a month ago I created an article, but it doesn't appear anywhere when I search for it. So I assume that it is still not approved, am I correct? How long does it usually take to approve an article and how can I find out if everything is alright with the one I created?
Many thanks! Aflame008 ( talk) 08:22, 13 August 2018 (UTC)Aflame008 Aflame008 ( talk) 08:22, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

Last week I encountered a strange alert. When I clicked the bell icon, on the top of the list an unread prompt popped up, which vanished completely when I clicked the blue dot to mark it as read -- strange!
When I checked my mails, I found a message from "HsfBot", referring me to https://id.wikipedia.org, were I am obviously already known as user, and was "invited" to log in (I did not!).
I do not know of any action from my side regarding the Indonesian WP, and feel a bit unsecure about the circumstances of vanishing alerts and unsolicited user pages.
I tried to be concise and short, but certainly I am prepaired to give additional details in case they are needed to explain this to me. Thanks in advance. Purgy ( talk) 09:21, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

The book, "Simon & Schuster's Guide to Insects" (Fireside Book)May 4, 1981 by Dr. Ross H. Arnett and Dr. Richard L. Jr. Jacques shows the co-author Richard L. Jacques with a link not to his correct biography, but to one of an Englishman and artist. Dr. Jacques, the co-author was the student of Dr. Arnett at Purdue University when I attended Purdue University as a graduate student with "Rich" Jacques. Someone needs to correct the link, I cannot understand how to edit the material. Thank you, Clarence A.

Hi! What license does a picture have to be under to make it able to go on a Wikipedia page? I guess it has to be 'free' but free and what? The options on my google advanced search are: - Free to use or share - Free to use or share, even commercially - Free to use share or modify - Free to use, share or modify even commercially

Hello everyone,
So realizing the monumental task and responsibility that is editing and contributing to Wikipedia, how does one find someone who will write proper content and is this admissible assuming most folks aren't writing about themselves.
Thank you and apologies should my question be out of line. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rofgonc ( talk • contribs) 15:05, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
find someone who will write proper content" by inviting everyone to edit, Rofgonc. The writers include anyone interested in contributing to Wikipedia. That can include you, as well. We use terms like " editor" because they are technically accurate and sound better than "person with an Internet connection and some spare time to edit an encyclopedia without pay". Most of us are not professionals; all anyone needs to help construct this encyclopedia is a bit of competence and a willingness to engage.In general, we are volunteers who contribute at our leisure. Sometimes, we do so in topic areas that interest us; for some of us, we do so even on subjects that are unfamiliar to us. If you want to participate in "
realizing the monumental task and responsibility that is editing and contributing to Wikipedia", then go for it! So long as you adhere to the five pillars, follow the rules (and sometimes ignore them), and act in good faith, you too can become an esteemed person with an Internet connection and some spare time to edit an encyclopedia without pay.And yes, autobiographic and other conflict-of-interest editing is generally not a good idea. Be thankful that you don't have an article about yourself; if you ever do, its existence will not be within your control. If you want to begin learning how to edit Wikipedia, the tutorial is a good place to start. The Wikipedia Adventure may also interest you.

There are articles that I want to work on improving in my sandbox before change them in the main space. When I copy the articles to my sandbox do I need to remove all non-free images? -- Millionsandbillions ( talk) 18:29, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
Hello there,
I have a question relating to a potential COI which I would like to ask a member of the moderating team prior to submitting my first article. I have read the rules and was not able to find an answer relating to my situation. If I was to ask a question in public, I would become identifiable through cursory research by name, address and other contact details due to my association with the subject.
Is it possible to somehow open a private thread for this purpose?
Much obliged,
