Hi,
We submitted a page but was flagged for two images that were said to have been deleted (possibly due to copyright, even though we do own them). I can no longer find the pending page. Was this deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prkkinsella ( talk • contribs) 19:29, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
Hello Teahouse community,
First: Excuse please my English which is not my mother tongue.
Here my question: In 2012, I wrote and submitted an article, my first and only one, to Wikipedia (on "Guy Schraenen"). A few days ago, I dicovered that my article is deleted from Wikipedia, "because the page appears to be an unambiguous". It is said: "It appears to be a direct copy" from an external website". I have to say that I am the author of the article on this external website too, which is also on "Guy Schraenen", because I am the responsible of his archives. So it appears indeed similar to my article on Wikipedia. But it is not "a direct copy"! The Wikipedia article included much more information, exact sources etc.!
What can I do that my submission to Wikipedia appears again?

Thanks a lot for your answer, Cullen! I understand perfectly that copyright rules have to be followed at Wikipedia! Of course! But two questions remain: 1. Is my Wikipedia submission completely gone? In the air so to say? As I never thought that somebody could delite it so easily, I didn't make a copy. Or could I retrieve it somewhere? And if, how... If I Then could delete my similar article on the website and give simply a link to my Wikipedia article on the same subject which was much more complete. 2.

Hi there-- I made the necessary changes to a bio about Markuann Smith and posted it in namespace (draft) as I read it will be more visible there for review and other editors can weigh in. Yet, I haven't heard anything or received feedback. Is there another place that someone can suggest, so that the bio is more visible for review/approval?

By chance, I noticed that someone's draft page, Draft:Data Mining in Social Media, is the exact topic of an existing article called social media mining. I need some guidance about what, if anything, is appropriate to help a fellow new editor out. Is it good etiquette to leave a note for this author simply calling attention to the existing article? I don't know whether that type of message would belong on the draft's talk page or the user's talk page. Thank you for the advice. Romhilde ( talk) 04:35, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello,
I wrote a translation of a page about a Spanish philosopher, Marina Garces, the article was deleted as well as my user profile. I find it quite unfair that one man can go around deleting articles rather than trying to improve them. I have no doubt that the content was not completely in line with the English Wikipedia standards, however I think it would have been much more useful to improve the content rather than delete the whole thing. I also have no idea why my user profile was deleted.
How can I appeal against this?

I created a page where I labelled the woman (actor) to differentiate her from the other woman with the same name. Someone moved it to (actress). Is there a guide for this? Was (actor) wrong or do we not gender unnecessarily? I thought the term actor for everyone was generally accepted these days? Just want guidance for the future. ☕ Antiqueight chatter 01:02, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
Where the gender is known, gender-specific items are also appropriate ("Bill Gates is a businessman" or "Nancy Pelosi is a congresswoman"). I see a number of editors have already made changes to ensure categorisation and titling refers to the female form in one of the pages you've edited ( Phyllis Ryan (actress)) that I guess you might be referring to. So, as Cullen328 wisely says, it is probably not worth arguing this within one article until such time as a community-wide consensus on the use of that term in page titles is achieved. That said, if all the references referred to her as an actor, and especially if she did herself, then maybe actor might then be the appropriate term to use. Otherwise, I'd prefer to keep it as it is right now. Sorry if this perspective seems a little old-fashioned and in contradiction of the earlier view expressed. But that's Wikipedia for you, and your contributions are valued, however they end up being titled. Regards from the UK, Nick Moyes ( talk) 02:13, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Help:Citation Style 1 § Authors explicitly suggests using invisible comments in such circumstances, too, as
best practice. So, on that matter, I don't think you need to worry at all. Feel free to make prolific use of invisible comments in any and all text and templates where due; {{

Template talk:Not a typo or perhaps
Template talk:Sic. An alternative venue is the
Village pump. I'm not very familiar with template code, though I can probably code something simple like this;
redirects are cheap. It is probably better to establish consensus first, though, especially if a new template is introduced, since it may not be seen as marginally useful enough and thus may just be subject to deletion and removal from documentation. If you do decide to initiate such discussions, feel free to ping me or mention it here in case I want to participate. —

The photos of paintings I have uploaded to wikipedia commons all have permissions emails sent by the holders of the copyrights. Some were held by me and sent from my email, some were held by others and were sent from their emails. Three were held by an elderly artist who does not have her own email, so I typed up a sheet and had her sign her approval. I scanned the sheet and attached it to an email from me.
Most of these have been taken down over the past few months, and I don't know why. Is there a quick and easy and correct way I can upload all these photos again so that they "stick"? The photo upload process is very very confusing, and I have no idea what I did wrong…or why they've only now been taken down.
The ones taken down were:
Red Tulips by Shirley Aley Campbell
Mary Rose Oakar by Shirley Aley Campbell
Vietnamese Family by Shirley Aley Campbell
Guarded Idealist by Judy Takács
Kim, the Keeper of time by Judy Takács

Hi I wanted to create a wikipedia page, of someone whom I admire and he is extremely talented and unbelievably famous! But I wonder he doesnt have a wiki page. Also even his coworkers have their wiki pages and surprisingly none of their pages has his name mentioned even after doing shows together.

Hi,
I am working on my draft /info/en/?search=Draft:PlagiarismSearch
I have personally worked with grading students' papers and evaluating them through different plagiarism detection software. I am working on including various checkers in order to enrich Wikipedia, since I have seen a couple of them presented here like Unicheck, Turnitin and others.
Could you please tell me how can I improve my article? I realize that more full coverages are needed rather than mentions. I have to extend my research. Anything else?

HOW TO PUBLISH MY CREATING PAGE AND WHAT ARE REQUIRED TIME IN PUBLISHING? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JANGVEER SINGH RAKESH ( talk • contribs)
I would appreciate if one or two other editors would look at Draft:Anna Landolt. It was submitted via Articles for Creation. The most obvious problem to a Wikipedia reviewer is that it has no references, but that can be remedied. A more serious problem is that the draft says that her dates of birth and death are not known, in which case she is not notable unless there is substantial coverage of the middle of her life (and there is none in the draft). The draft says that she is depicted playing the piano in a painting by Henry Fuseli called The Nightmare. We have articles on Fuseli and on The Nightmare. However, the painting does not depict a pianist; it depicts a sleeping woman and an incubus, and the sleeping woman is not wearing a necklace.
Maybe there was another painting by Fuseli in the same year which did depict the otherwise obscure Landolt as a goddess-musician. This seems the best good-faith assumption, but may or may not be correct.
I declined the draft and explained my concern. Will another editor look at it and advise on, first, whether I handled the draft reasonably, and, second, what they think is the explanation for this discrepancy. Robert McClenon ( talk) 22:47, 13 August 2018 (UTC)

I have gone to the editing trainings. I look at your templates. I program and yet I find the editing on wikipedia very difficult. Even answering and communicating in Tea House is hard. Yet, I have good editing and writing skills.
1. I do not understand why the Seneca King , Barber page is not acceptable. There are many newspaper articles written about him. I wish someone could go to Seneca king, Barber and make edits. He is notable of not a Bezos, so I understand you don't think he is a notable entrepreneur. He has done a lot, however, and he is a notable barber. So, why is that rejected. Just delete what is not appropriate. Certainly the whole thing contains many good, referenced parts. If a reference is not allowed, take that citation out and request one. I will find another citation
2. I would like to make a page on the New Arthurian Economics. My experience with Seneca's page has discouraged me so much. Can I start that as a stub and have others edit it? How do I do that. There are articles published in European economics journals on this topic.
3. Can you simplify your instructions. For example...You say put 4 tildas when you sign out. (THe question is where...Before? After? Both?) Another example: The notification says I got an email but I do not know where to find it. I did not see it in my gmail account yet, I do not see emails on Wikipedia. Thank you for clarifications on these and all instructions for editors.
Thank you.

, it is indeed not appropriate for post-correction annotation. There is usually no need to note anything in such circumstances, though, so anyone who does uses an invisible comment. Hopefully, this helps. As for whether a template exists for this, I'm aware of none. You can request for one to be made to add to the {{
Not a typo}}
suite, but I honestly doubt it will have much use, even compared to the others in that suite. —

), that has not occurred. I will note that
Help:Citation Style 1 § Authors explicitly suggests using invisible comments in such circumstances, too, as
best practice. So, on that matter, I don't think you need to worry at all. Feel free to make prolific use of invisible comments in any and all text and templates where due; {{
void}}
need not apply.On the matter of the new template or redirect, that is something probably better requested and discussed at
Template talk:Not a typo or perhaps
Template talk:Sic. An alternative venue is the
Village pump. I'm not very familiar with template code, though I can probably code something simple like this;
redirects are cheap. It is probably better to establish consensus first, though, especially if a new template is introduced, since it may not be seen as marginally useful enough and thus may just be subject to deletion and removal from documentation. If you do decide to initiate such discussions, feel free to ping me or mention it here in case I want to participate. —

The photos of paintings I have uploaded to wikipedia commons all have permissions emails sent by the holders of the copyrights. Some were held by me and sent from my email, some were held by others and were sent from their emails. Three were held by an elderly artist who does not have her own email, so I typed up a sheet and had her sign her approval. I scanned the sheet and attached it to an email from me.
Most of these have been taken down over the past few months, and I don't know why. Is there a quick and easy and correct way I can upload all these photos again so that they "stick"? The photo upload process is very very confusing, and I have no idea what I did wrong…or why they've only now been taken down.
The ones taken down were:
Red Tulips by Shirley Aley Campbell
Mary Rose Oakar by Shirley Aley Campbell
Vietnamese Family by Shirley Aley Campbell
Guarded Idealist by Judy Takács
Kim, the Keeper of time by Judy Takács
Tangible and Intangible by Marilyn Szalay
Timmy by Marilyn Szalay

Hi I wanted to create a wikipedia page, of someone whom I admire and he is extremely talented and unbelievably famous! But I wonder he doesnt have a wiki page. Also even his coworkers have their wiki pages and surprisingly none of their pages has his name mentioned even after doing shows together.
Unfortunately he is all over, but not here in the wikipedia.
Being a Genuine Admirer, I need your help and assistance to create his page.
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.248.224.54 ( talk) 14:54, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi,
I am working on my draft /info/en/?search=Draft:PlagiarismSearch
I have personally worked with grading students' papers and evaluating them through different plagiarism detection software. I am working on including various checkers in order to enrich Wikipedia, since I have seen a couple of them presented here like Unicheck, Turnitin and others.
Could you please tell me how can I improve my article? I realize that more full coverages are needed rather than mentions. I have to extend my research. Anything else?
Thank you for your help. Regards, Kelsey.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Kelsey2848939 ( talk • contribs) 16:19, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

I did a lot of work that also a Nonmathematician could understand an see direct the system of the smallest particles of the matter of the Universe. Therefore I would be happy when the Fundamental Particles of the CERN brick box could be seen as 61 Particles connected with the important Higgs particle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hsch31 ( talk • contribs)
HOW TO PUBLISH MY CREATING PAGE AND WHAT ARE REQUIRED TIME IN PUBLISHING? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JANGVEER SINGH RAKESH ( talk • contribs)
I would appreciate if one or two other editors would look at Draft:Anna Landolt. It was submitted via Articles for Creation. The most obvious problem to a Wikipedia reviewer is that it has no references, but that can be remedied. A more serious problem is that the draft says that her dates of birth and death are not known, in which case she is not notable unless there is substantial coverage of the middle of her life (and there is none in the draft). The draft says that she is depicted playing the piano in a painting by Henry Fuseli called The Nightmare. We have articles on Fuseli and on The Nightmare. However, the painting does not depict a pianist; it depicts a sleeping woman and an incubus, and the sleeping woman is not wearing a necklace.
Maybe there was another painting by Fuseli in the same year which did depict the otherwise obscure Landolt as a goddess-musician. This seems the best good-faith assumption, but may or may not be correct.
I declined the draft and explained my concern. Will another editor look at it and advise on, first, whether I handled the draft reasonably, and, second, what they think is the explanation for this discrepancy. Robert McClenon ( talk) 22:47, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
Hello, Please, I'm having issues creating a Biography, I really need help as it is very urgent. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Valegal1 ( talk • contribs) 14:49, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
Thank you but there is a deadline for me cos it's about work. I'm trying to create a Biography for someone. So what would you advise? Do I post the draft of the Biography and send for review? Hopefully, it's approved and can I do that on my user page? David Biddulph ( talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Valegal1 ( talk • contribs) 15:22, 14 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you I'm new here so I didn't understand a lot of things, I'll be patient and I understand the process now. I just sent a draft article and it said it would take at least 8 weeks or more to eview. I'll be patient. Thank you.

Should I turn the history section into a standalone article? There is so much media coverage ( [1] [2] [3] [4]). Would it be too WP:NOTNEWS? What could it be named? Is this already an article? Anna Frodesiak ( talk) 21:16, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
I have gone to the editing trainings. I look at your templates. I program and yet I find the editing on wikipedia very difficult. Even answering and communicating in Tea House is hard. Yet, I have good editing and writing skills.
1. I do not understand why the Seneca King , Barber page is not acceptable. There are many newspaper articles written about him. I wish someone could go to Seneca king, Barber and make edits. He is notable of not a Bezos, so I understand you don't think he is a notable entrepreneur. He has done a lot, however, and he is a notable barber. So, why is that rejected. Just delete what is not appropriate. Certainly the whole thing contains many good, referenced parts. If a reference is not allowed, take that citation out and request one. I will find another citation
2. I would like to make a page on the New Arthurian Economics. My experience with Seneca's page has discouraged me so much. Can I start that as a stub and have others edit it? How do I do that. There are articles published in European economics journals on this topic.
3. Can you simplify your instructions. For example...You say put 4 tildas when you sign out. (THe question is where...Before? After? Both?) Another example: The notification says I got an email but I do not know where to find it. I did not see it in my gmail account yet, I do not see emails on Wikipedia. Thank you for clarifications on these and all instructions for editors.
Thank you.
