My first draft was rejected for several reasons which were all corrected and the draft was then resubmitted. A second reviewer rejected the new draft for a different, simple reason but, and this is my question, the draft was also moved to avoid breaking links and now I can't edit it because it is in code instead of the visual editor. Please advise, and thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by David Clemens ( talk • contribs) 18:06, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

I've submitted an article( /info/en/?search=Draft:Expertscape) for review but would appreciate any advice or edits that would help the article. As one of the founders of the website, I have a conflict of interest and so am hopeful that others can adopt the article. We get frequent requests from hospitals, medical schools, and medical experts to have a Wikipedia entry that they can reference. Any guidance or edits would be appreciated.

I've tried to correct the problems with the submission and have re-submitted. Admittedly, I don't begin to understand the methods and details involved with the submission process, so any advice would be appreciated.(We just had another example from Ochsner this week - https://news.ochsner.org/news-releases/ochsner-cardiologist-recognized-as-world-expert-on-health-topics).

I checked various articles and there are a dozen Wikipedia pages that mention Expertscape, and some of those have dead links. If it's helpful, we'll fix those links. Also, it must be worth something that the PubMed wikipedia page has referenced Expertscape for quite a long while. B4chex11 ( talk) 21:55, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm registered as an editor, but am not great at it. I made some changes to the page for "Gary Stretch" (boxer) as I believe - because multiple sources say so - that the year of his birth is wrong - should be 1968 not 1965, and (possibly) the month and day might be wrong (11th April, rather than 4th November). However, another user (Jessicapierce) has removed my changes, citing that they were not properly sourced. I'd be very grateful if someone who is a skilled editor could look into this and - in the interests of accuracy - make the required changes. Thanks!

First off, thanks to HostBot for inviting me here. I appreciate the sense of community already. I've perused the guidelines and principles pages, explored some of the best practices and essays, and generally been enjoying myself. I'm finding a bit more confidence after my first couple edits the other bot recommended.
Which bring me to my question, which is: for newer editors, is there a link depository or some such of easier, less critical tasks that we can proverbially 'get our feet wet' with?
I've seen references to mentoring, and different styles of editorial focus (AfD, anti-vandalism, etc.) so maybe if there was another internal page that explained getting involved with some of those?

I am Sister Who a/k/a Rev. Denver NeVaar, MTS and am wondering about the creation of an article within Wikipedia containing objective factual information about myself, my accomplishments, and my work, with only the intention to inform those unfamiliar with me, who might otherwise find my perhaps original approach to creativity and spirituality confusing. I have been a public access television personality since November of 1992 (446 individual productions have been recorded thus far), climbed to the summits of sixteen mountains reaching above fourteen thousand feet elevation within the state of Colorado within the United States, recorded four albums of original songs, and maintained a monthly newsletter of substantive intellectual thought on issues of life and/or spirituality since the beginning of 1998. In order to inform the general public about what Sister Who is and what Sister Who is not, a Wikipedia article seems recommendable, in order to make any personal encounter within perhaps unexpected public spaces, a non-threatening experience--especially because Sister Who has, in fact, appeared within so many diverse urban and rural places throughout the last twenty-seven years (Paris, Sydney, Amsterdam, New York, and San Francisco; Colorado, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, California, Washington, Montana, and the District of Columbia; and on the Internet through YouTube.com/DenverNeVaar and SisterWho.com). Evidence of being noticed has come in the form of a number of newspaper articles; an extensive archive of information within the Western History Department of the Denver Public Library of Denver, Colorado; and fan email from Norway, Italy, Poland, Japan, the UK, and Indonesia. It seems there are plenty of people who want objective information about me, but no one has volunteered to embrace the task of writing a respectable Wikipedia article, listing my academic accomplishments, significant public appearances, relevant vocational contributions, or the ways the work has been shaped by also being an adult with autism who was not diagnosed as such until the age of fifty. I would very much appreciate either guidance in how to proceed or a volunteer collaborator who could effectively fill this void of information. --S.W./D.N. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Denver NeVaar ( talk • contribs) 11:43, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

I have a question about a recent article draft I did for David Lindley/El Ray-o X's second album "Win This Record". It was rejected due to insufficient coverage. I compared it to the article for the group's first album and it has similar source citation (both in number and source itself - All Music), yet that article was published. Also, the first paragraph is a bit more developed for WTR than for the first album. I'd like to know the "why" behind the apparent inconsistency so I may improve my understanding of the process and do a better job in the future. Thanks for any response on this matter.

I was thinking and wondering if there is an article that names all countries that are in existence or are no longer countries that have had land(territories) where the current United States is?

I reviewed Draft:Secure Swiss Data and declined it as reading like an information brochure and not establishing corporate notability. User:Kateryna1987 replied on my talk page asking what could be done to “improve the article and make it a valuable addition to Wikipedia.” Unfortunately, I find it necessary to ask a submitter who is very enthusiastic about getting a draft accepted whether they have a conflict of interest. She says that she does not, and is simply interested in getting an article in Wikipedia. I don’t see the draft in its present form satisfying corporate notability, but maybe I am cynical. Do other editors have any comments?

I'm interested in taking photos of paintings of individuals to use in bios, especially for early 20th century individuals where any photos are black and white, and often grainy.
I've tried to figure out the rules for doing that, but they strike me as arcane. For instance, if I don't know the name of the artist who painted the picture, or nothing more than their name, is there anyway I can meet the copyright/public domain rules?
Similarly, if I take a photo of a photo of a person from the early 20th century, without knowing who took the photo originally, is there any way to satisfy the public domain test?
thanks!

The copyright of a 3-D object doesn't transfer to a photograph of it.- huh, SmokeyJoe, are you sure about that? Some countries do and others do not have freedom of panorama, so clearly there are sculptures in public space (a subset of 3D objects) subject to copyright in some countries.

I can't quite figure out how to contact the last editor User:power~enwiki to request this update. Thanks in advance for your help! Ranch2k ( talk) 18:55, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

I am a wikipedian who edits in malayalam wikipedia. There were 2 existing templates namely ml:ഫലകം:Requested move and ml:ഫലകം:പേരുമാറ്റുക. I recently deleted all the contents of the template ഫലകം:പേരുമാറ്റുക and I redirected that template to ഫലകം:Requested move. But currently, in the pages that were linked to ഫലകം:പേരുമാറ്റുക is showing the message REDIRECT ഫലകം:Requested move and not the contents of the template ഫലകം:Requested move. (Example page: ml:നഗരം.) I tried to clear the cache of both the templates but in vain. Please note that the word ഫലകം means template in english. Adithyak1997 ( talk) 06:54, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

I am attempting to publish wiki articles about the Indian revolutionaries.
Following are the challenges that I am facing:
While in the 'References' section, I quoted the ISBN of the book, the author and publication name and the page numbers which provide info. about the revolutionary, my recent article got rejected due to 'lack of citations'. How do I proceed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scribblingdeeds ( talk • contribs) 11:42, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
I have a problem uploading the figure to my article. I do not own the figure, but I requested permission with the publishing journal, which I received.

I am Sister Who a/k/a Rev. Denver NeVaar, MTS and am wondering about the creation of an article within Wikipedia containing objective factual information about myself, my accomplishments, and my work, with only the intention to inform those unfamiliar with me, who might otherwise find my perhaps original approach to creativity and spirituality confusing. I have been a public access television personality since November of 1992 (446 individual productions have been recorded thus far), climbed to the summits of sixteen mountains reaching above fourteen thousand feet elevation within the state of Colorado within the United States, recorded four albums of original songs, and maintained a monthly newsletter of substantive intellectual thought on issues of life and/or spirituality since the beginning of 1998. In order to inform the general public about what Sister Who is and what Sister Who is not, a Wikipedia article seems recommendable, in order to make any personal encounter within perhaps unexpected public spaces, a non-threatening experience--especially because Sister Who has, in fact, appeared within so many diverse urban and rural places throughout the last twenty-seven years (Paris, Sydney, Amsterdam, New York, and San Francisco; Colorado, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, California, Washington, Montana, and the District of Columbia; and on the Internet through YouTube.com/DenverNeVaar and SisterWho.com). Evidence of being noticed has come in the form of a number of newspaper articles; an extensive archive of information within the Western History Department of the Denver Public Library of Denver, Colorado; and fan email from Norway, Italy, Poland, Japan, the UK, and Indonesia. It seems there are plenty of people who want objective information about me, but no one has volunteered to embrace the task of writing a respectable Wikipedia article, listing my academic accomplishments, significant public appearances, relevant vocational contributions, or the ways the work has been shaped by also being an adult with autism who was not diagnosed as such until the age of fifty. I would very much appreciate either guidance in how to proceed or a volunteer collaborator who could effectively fill this void of information. --S.W./D.N. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Denver NeVaar ( talk • contribs) 11:43, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
I am altogether confused at whether this is ANI-worthy or not, or where else to take it if not, so I'm leaving this diff here. The user in question has made some constructive edits, but typically even those have uncivil edit summaries. Advice would be appreciated. An Owl Called Josh 🦉 ( talk) 18:23, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

The 1st ever SCCA Spec Miata Qualifying Race held in Phoenix at PIR was won by Brad Rampelberg. Mike Helpin was awarded the 1st place trophy on race day because Brad was disqualified. Brad Rampelberg appealed his disqualification to the SCCA Board who overturned his disqualification and restored his 1st place win in later posted results.

I have a question about a recent article draft I did for David Lindley/El Ray-o X's second album "Win This Record". It was rejected due to insufficient coverage. I compared it to the article for the group's first album and it has similar source citation (both in number and source itself - All Music), yet that article was published. Also, the first paragraph is a bit more developed for WTR than for the first album. I'd like to know the "why" behind the apparent inconsistency so I may improve my understanding of the process and do a better job in the future. Thanks for any response on this matter.

Hey Everyone!
I was thinking and wondering if there is an article that names all countries that are in existence or are no longer countries that have had land(territories) where the current United States is? I know that that might be a little difficult to understand, sorry, I tried to form the question my best. If this is not a thing, what steps should I take to create a new article. If there is one existing, please link it for me.

I reviewed Draft:Secure Swiss Data and declined it as reading like an information brochure and not establishing corporate notability. User:Kateryna1987 replied on my talk page asking what could be done to “improve the article and make it a valuable addition to Wikipedia.” Unfortunately, I find it necessary to ask a submitter who is very enthusiastic about getting a draft accepted whether they have a conflict of interest. She says that she does not, and is simply interested in getting an article in Wikipedia. I don’t see the draft in its present form satisfying corporate notability, but maybe I am cynical. Do other editors have any comments?

I'm interested in taking photos of paintings of individuals to use in bios, especially for early 20th century individuals where any photos are black and white, and often grainy.
I've tried to figure out the rules for doing that, but they strike me as arcane. For instance, if I don't know the name of the artist who painted the picture, or nothing more than their name, is there anyway I can meet the copyright/public domain rules?
Similarly, if I take a photo of a photo of a person from the early 20th century, without knowing who took the photo originally, is there any way to satisfy the public domain test?
thanks!

The copyright of a 3-D object doesn't transfer to a photograph of it.- huh, SmokeyJoe, are you sure about that? Some countries do and others do not have freedom of panorama, so clearly there are sculptures in public space (a subset of 3D objects) subject to copyright in some countries.
Hi! Thanks for the support! I would like to ask if the title of the page I created can be changed: Observatory on Digital Communication this page should be called OCCAM-Observatory on Digital Communication as it was in the Draft.
