Hello. Some things I added to the page I'm working on were removed because they needed a reference or to be substantiated. I was not able to find information on the Internet, so how do I send copies of old newspaper or magazine articles to Wikipedia so they can serve as evidence for what I am adding? Do I go to the page I'm working on and "Upload file"? I don't intend for them to actually be put on the page - just used as substantiation. Thank you! Citizen100 ( talk) 23:47, 31 October 2018 (UTC)

What about newspaper articles from two Canadian newspapers - the Ottawa Citizen and Kingston Whig Standard from 1956? We have the exact date. Citizen100 ( talk) 03:52, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
I do understand the conflict of interest policy and the importance of everything remaining neutral. The only comment I added that wasn't neutral was that he was a skilled musician, so I removed it. I just didn't understand the process I had to follow to provide new information (on the talk page rather than editing directly myself). I find it frustrating that some Wikipedia pages are vetted so aggressively, while others don't seem to have been reviewed at all. While doing this, I used John De Chastelain's page as an example since he served at the same time as my dad (he took over command of the Canadian Armed Forces from my father) and his page is full of information with only a few references. I'm not saying the information isn't accurate - it probably is - it's just that the process seems to be inconsistent from one person to another. My purpose in all of this is to help Wikipedia present an accurate, up-to-date summary of my father's life and career of service to Canada. I had no idea it would be such an upsetting, demoralizing process. It appears to be almost finished now, so that's good. Citizen100 ( talk) 14:19, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
Just letting you know that as of today, everything is up-to-date and accurate on my father's page, so I won't need to deal with this anymore. Citizen100 ( talk) 17:04, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
We are no longer a corporation, there for need to remove the word "corporation" from the name. How do I do this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ClecoCorpComm ( talk • contribs) 17:14, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
There is a name/person page whose Georgian name in the German language Wiki is presented as the primary name, noting an aka [the person's used/known/actual name]. He is a European writer in America and only goes by one name ever which never includes a Georgian and complicated last name which while on his birth certificate has since been given up, as is the case with many writers. I explored doing a 'move' but the real name has a page already, the sole purpose of which is to redirect to the never-used Georgian name. Can I delete the latter and move the former to be his name page? (The English language Wiki page is fine.) And once this is accomplished each can be linked to the other using one name. Thank you for any assistance with this. PaulThePony ( talk) 18:37, 5 November 2018 (UTC)Paul

Hello again everyone. I have a question related to how best to organize potential sources on talk pages. While editing neglected pages I have gotten into the habit of adding the Template:Find sources notice, then creating a new section where I indicate that I'm listing promising potential sources for the article to encourage myself and others to contribute. I typically create a bulleted list of citations (without the <ref> and </ref> tags). Is there a template designed for this purpose? I bet there is and I just haven't run across it.

Or put, in a more succinct manner, do the Policies and Guidelines apply with the same "weight" (i.e. "force and effect") to the actions of a particular Editor, with regard to whether or not their actions were to post comments in the "Discussion" sections of a particular Article, vs. actually making edits to the article itself?
I've been given two warnings, and received the text "disruptive editing" via my "Talk" page, despite never having made a single actual "edit" to any page. It appears to me that "block" is the next step, I'm taking this all very seriously, and have read numerous Wikipedia Policies, Guidelines and frequently used "Essays" that relate to this, and not one of them makes the distinction between conduct on the "Discussion" pages, and making actual edits to Articles. Every single Article I've read frames their language such that it most obviously applies to actual edits to Articles, leaving exactly two interpretations:
A) Yes they apply equally to "edits" (in the "posting what I think" sense of the word) on Discussion pages. B) No, the standard is lowered due to what could be numerous reasons, such as 1) new, uninformed Editors making mistakes that new, uniformed Editors are expected to make, 2) lowering these standards is necessary for collaborative efforts, and "welcoming" new Editors, allowing them to be "bold", etc...
I was also given the text alluding to the idea of "circumventing Wikipedia Policies" so I choose at this time to not name names, etc... and would prefer to keep this in the hypothetical to avoid "stirring the pot". My intent is to actual LEARN the policies, before making another mistake and getting a block, or worse.
Secondary to all of this is another question I'll ask here rather than start a new topic. A few days ago I asked a question that is related to a "#NOTFORUM" message I received, and just a few days later I received another message saying that the topic had been "archived" from the Tea House due to a lack of responses. Something like "3 days", I think. Is this always an automatically initiated action? Could the archiving of this topic have been initiated "manually"?

Hello. If I am editing an article and I want to rewrite sections of it, but keep the stuff I want to rewrite around for reference, is there an acceptable way of doing this. For example, page is "Topic", can I put the stuff I want to park into either "Topic/Hold" or "Draft:Topic"? I know about the sandbox, but my thinking is on the Talk page, you can refer other users to the fact that you parked the text. I am thinking about this for cases where text is too large to comfortably park in "Topic/Talk". Thanks. Seahawk01 ( talk) 05:37, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

The 60th Anniversary of the Desegregation of New Orleans Public Schools will be in 2020. On November 14, 1960 according to the City of New Orleans History Marker FOUR African American 6 year old girls known as The New Orleans Four (Leona Tate, Ruby Bridges, Tessie Prevost and Gail Etienne) were the first students to integrate New Orleans Public Schools. Unfortunately, there is a false narrative of what happened on that faithfull day of November 14, 1960 and a blatant omission of three Civil Rights Pioneers who were (according to the timelines of what actually took place that day) the first to cross the doors of desegregation. It was not Ruby Bridges alone who was the "first" to integrate New Orleans Public Schools. I am working with the City of New Orleans to change this false narrative to the actual accounts of what took place in New Orleans on November 14, 1960.
I am a new editor and I just edited this page (New Orleans school deseggregation crisis on Wikipedia [ [1]] I would like to create new pages on Leona Tate as well as Tessie Prevost and Gail Etienne just as there is a page for Ruby Bridges. They each individually deserve to have a page dedicated to them as well as create a page that is dedicated to The New Orleans Four and the History Marker that was unveiled in the City of New Orleans to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the New Orleans Public School Desegregation.
Can someone guide me to a tutorial as to how I can create new pages? I could certainly use some help starting a new page.

I'm getting into too much trouble messing around in the "Discussion Pages" so I've found something else that's constructive. I know there are people that do "spam patrol" and "anti-vandalism" on Wikipedia. Not sure how this is categorized. Please don't do this for me; I want to learn how to do it myself.
The site is "Epik.com", a website hosting service. I happened upon it because Gab.com recently moved to Epik, and so I went looking to Wikipedia to read about Epik, found no Article about the business, and so to dig further I used the Google "site:wikipedia" search function for the text "epik" and found an obvious spam link. Mentioned it in that Article's "Discussion" pages, for someone else to deal with, but then on 2nd thought this might be a good, safe way for me to get some Wikipedia experience without risk of being considered "disruptive", etc...
The site: "epik.com"
Please note I want the whole enchilada, meaning 1) don't do it for me, 2) don't gloss over the process in abstracts, etc... and expect me to be fully functional after a single, perfunctory post. Meaning, if the process is more involved than reading a single policy or guideline, don't post a single post or guideline and expect me to figure the whole thing out. Wikipedia is extraordinarily complex, to a great extent due to ambiguous language in it's policies. At least that's been my experience so far. Tym Whittier ( talk) 15:55, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

I would like to make the name of a person with an English Wiki page consistent across the English and German pages such that they'd be able to link to one another, but also because the German page uses a name not used by the person. (I go into a bit more detail elsewhere in the Teahouse, posted and responded to on 11/5.)
I've been informed that the German language Wikipedia rules may differ. I don't speak or read German so this is a roadblock for me. Does the English language Wiki offer translators to assist with making changes across two Wikipedias and if so, how might I find such a person?

Hey!
I haven't created that many articles yet and am struggling trying to replace my sources with appropriate ones for a NYT bestselling author. I've submitted a draft for this article and have done a deep dive to find better sources because the reason why it was declined was that I didn't utilize enough interviews and secondary sources. I did that, but I still need some help improving this article. There's a lot online about this author, but mostly just reviews about her books, nothing of note that I think would be appropriate to add.

What would you do to the red links in
Sam Blakeslee#Committee Membership? My guess is most of those topics probably don't have articles. But what I can also see is, if they had, they would have longer names. Probably names containing "United States", like the two that were links to redirects. Should I remove the links I can't find the correct targets for? Add something like {{
clarify|What's the full name of these committees?}}
after the list? Ask
Wikipedia:WikiProject United States if anyone there has an idea what the committees might be called? Or something else? –

I really need you help, thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Techcherio ( talk • contribs) 13:51, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
Hi all my senior editors, I drafted my first article Draft:Krishnagiri Village as part of 'Wikipedia Asian Month' and submitted for review. As it is a drafted article, i am not able to submit it for 'Wikipedia Asian Month' participation. Can someone please review it and suggest any edit if required? so that i can submit it.
This article is about a highly populated village in Wayanad, Kerala, India and i found it is missing in Wikipedia.

The 60th Anniversary of the Desegregation of New Orleans Public Schools will be in 2020. On November 14, 1960 according to the City of New Orleans History Marker FOUR African American 6 year old girls known as The New Orleans Four (Leona Tate, Ruby Bridges, Tessie Prevost and Gail Etienne) were the first students to integrate New Orleans Public Schools. Unfortunately, there is a false narrative of what happened on that faithfull day of November 14, 1960 and a blatant omission of three Civil Rights Pioneers who were (according to the timelines of what actually took place that day) the first to cross the doors of desegregation. It was not Ruby Bridges alone who was the "first" to integrate New Orleans Public Schools. I am working with the City of New Orleans to change this false narrative to the actual accounts of what took place in New Orleans on November 14, 1960.
I am a new editor and I just edited this page (New Orleans school deseggregation crisis on Wikipedia [ [1]] I would like to create new pages on Leona Tate as well as Tessie Prevost and Gail Etienne just as there is a page for Ruby Bridges. They each individually deserve to have a page dedicated to them as well as create a page that is dedicated to The New Orleans Four and the History Marker that was unveiled in the City of New Orleans to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the New Orleans Public School Desegregation.
Can someone guide me to a tutorial as to how I can create new pages? I could certainly use some help starting a new page.

Hello! I'm editing Starling Bank and there seems to be many accounts in the edit history of that page that are specifically dedicated to editing that page and pages related to it. I believe this may be a conflict of interest (one of the accounts has UserboxCOI of the company's founder on their user page). Does something need to be done about this?

I'm getting into too much trouble messing around in the "Discussion Pages" so I've found something else that's constructive. I know there are people that do "spam patrol" and "anti-vandalism" on Wikipedia. Not sure how this is categorized. Please don't do this for me; I want to learn how to do it myself.
The site is "Epik.com", a website hosting service. I happened upon it because Gab.com recently moved to Epik, and so I went looking to Wikipedia to read about Epik, found no Article about the business, and so to dig further I used the Google "site:wikipedia" search function for the text "epik" and found an obvious spam link. Mentioned it in that Article's "Discussion" pages, for someone else to deal with, but then on 2nd thought this might be a good, safe way for me to get some Wikipedia experience without risk of being considered "disruptive", etc...
The site: "epik.com"
Please note I want the whole enchilada, meaning 1) don't do it for me, 2) don't gloss over the process in abstracts, etc... and expect me to be fully functional after a single, perfunctory post. Meaning, if the process is more involved than reading a single policy or guideline, don't post a single post or guideline and expect me to figure the whole thing out. Wikipedia is extraordinarily complex, to a great extent due to ambiguous language in it's policies. At least that's been my experience so far. Tym Whittier ( talk) 15:55, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
On User:PorkchopGMX/userpage I made some edits in March 2018 before getting the page speedy deleted because I misunderstood what a WikiGame is. Can you please restore the revisions before the speedy deletion? PorkchopGMX ( Sign your posts with four tildes!) 03:38, 7 November 2018 (UTC)
I would like to make the name of a person with an English Wiki page consistent across the English and German pages such that they'd be able to link to one another, but also because the German page uses a name not used by the person. (I go into a bit more detail elsewhere in the Teahouse, posted and responded to on 11/5.)
I've been informed that the German language Wikipedia rules may differ. I don't speak or read German so this is a roadblock for me. Does the English language Wiki offer translators to assist with making changes across two Wikipedias and if so, how might I find such a person?

Hey!
I haven't created that many articles yet and am struggling trying to replace my sources with appropriate ones for a NYT bestselling author. I've submitted a draft for this article and have done a deep dive to find better sources because the reason why it was declined was that I didn't utilize enough interviews and secondary sources. I did that, but I still need some help improving this article. There's a lot online about this author, but mostly just reviews about her books, nothing of note that I think would be appropriate to add.
Can someone help me improve this article please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Angelcake57 ( talk • contribs) 05:47, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi... How does one edit the top paragraph of an entry, when there is no link for "edit source?" There is a film that I co-wrote, and for some reason, my name is only listed in the credits along the margin of the page, but not up above in the summary. How do I edit this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ViaMessenger ( talk • contribs) 11:26, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

Hi! I'm trying to trim citations in the 'misnomer' section of Cincinnati chili, but every time I try to take a citation out, I end up breaking the entire references section. Can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

What would you do to the red links in
Sam Blakeslee#Committee Membership? My guess is most of those topics probably don't have articles. But what I can also see is, if they had, they would have longer names. Probably names containing "United States", like the two that were links to redirects. Should I remove the links I can't find the correct targets for? Add something like {{
clarify|What's the full name of these committees?}}
after the list? Ask
Wikipedia:WikiProject United States if anyone there has an idea what the committees might be called? Or something else? –
