Before requesting or accepting a nomination, candidates should generally be active, regular, and long-term Wikipedia contributors, be familiar with the procedures and practices of Wikipedia, respect and understand its policies, and have gained the general trust of the community.Regards, Nick Moyes ( talk) 19:01, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
In the article /info/en/?search=Camp_Nyoda I included, in parenthesis, the nicknames of a number of the people mentioned because they are the names they use(d) exclusively, but are uncommon nicknames for their given names. I know the general rule is to avoid using both given and nicknames, but wondered if, in this case, it might be acceptable, or if I need to omit one or the other. Thank you!

I've bolluxed up the template for a DYK nomination. It's at Template_talk:Did_you_know#Roz_Young. I thought I followed the directions to not try to link to the article within the nomination because the template would do it for me, but it didn't produce a bold link. Would someone be willing to take a look and tell me what I've done wrong? Sorry, I know I've been in here a lot. valereee ( talk) 19:18, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

A user who I will call X has a long pattern of assuming bad faith and occasionally making bogus accusations during content disputes, if this continues it may become disruptive enough to report at ANI(but I am afraid that an ANI involving X will become rather dramatic). If I have to report X at ANI, I will of course notify them as is required, but if I mention examples of X's behavior toward other users, should I notify those users as well? Also, if X accuses me of POV pushing(as a hypothetical let's say X thinks i'm a pro-trump POV pusher), and I defend by showing diffs of times I reverted pro-trump edits, should I notify the pro-trump editors I reverted? I expect that if reported, X will immediately seek boomerang sanctions against me, and the bogus accusations I refer to above include threatening to report me for pinging an editor who X tends to disagree with, so I don't want to be accused of canvassing editors that X disagrees with to the ANI, but I want to still comply with the notification requirements for ANI.
Unless X becomes disruptive enough that I actually report them at ANI, I will not confirm or deny any guesses as to X's identity, My questions at the teahouse are just so I understand ANI notification requirements. Tornado chaser ( talk) 17:27, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello, and happy to be here. I had a question of qualifiable third party sources. Depending of course on the subject matter, are fashion blogs & fashion websites valid to use as third party reference? And I'm speaking of in particular the well known mainstream fashion blogs. The reason I ask is because "fashion" and the culture of which it is associated with tends to be more of "feel good rhetoric" - not that I have a problem with this kind of thing, but if one is doing a piece on an artist or designer, etc does the journalism of fashion blogs and sites qualify as sufficently responsible for Wikipedia reference? Please advise, and many thanks in advance. MAureliusAugustus ( talk) 21:34, 13 November 2018 (UTC)

I was looking at this article yesterday and made a proposed deletion for it. DECA Ontario is a small organization that is part of DECA, which has its own Wikipedia page. There is nothing that sets DECA Ontario apart from the rest of DECA. A few minutes later someone objected and removed the tag. Looking at the article now, I think that a lot of the information is useful to a very, very small group of people. Under "Provincial Executive Officer Program (High School Division)" is a list of every single high school student who has been on the executive team since 2010. I can't find links to these people anywhere except social media. The entire page has zero sources. But I am not an expert at Wikipedia, I was hoping someone else could have a look at this page and provide their thoughts. Thanks. Anthonyliu ( talk) 02:32, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello Editors! I just picked this page's namesake off of a list (Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit from November 2018 — which I can't seem to link here), and edited the content of one section, previously "FAMILY MAN", that includes the names and DOBs of his minor children. I've searched but can't find the policy about that aspect, so am not sure if I am allowed to remove their names and DOBs, but it seems a potential danger to the kids to publish that. Is this the place to ask for help finding the policy? Thank you for your attention. - RFT42 ( talk) 00:49, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
If I find and article which states false information and uses misleadings references in order to try to make it believable but when you look into the quotes either do no exist or simply do not mention the information they are referring to.
How can I correct this information?
Also, what should I do if I find an article which was created to difamate or harm someones reputation. Is Wikkipedia supporting any false information and it its impossible to correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tumaca70 ( talk • contribs) 05:26, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
I know that citing wikipedia itself isn't allowed, but is linking to the more specific wikipedia page okay?

Hi Everyone,
I have requested an article to be created about a band and I am wondering if you all think it is worthy of an article.
I believe they are worthy but am looking for an attestation so I can have some validity to me request.
The band is The Mixus Brothers ...
Can someone with experience in the Wiki world give me an honest answer?

I stumbled across this today: an IP-user took what looked like a well-sourced article and removed most of its content with comment "Wrong information, ... added bands real history,..." in March 2018. It was caught by a bot, but somehow overcome by the user in question. There was one attempt in August to bring back what seems to be the correct discography, reverted from the same IP. No discussion on the article's talk page, nothing. I'm not familiar with the band, but this seems like a weird case of vandalism?
I started reading through WP:VANDAL, but as usual with WP policies, it's very long-winded. I tried to find a place where volunteers who specialize on dealing with it hang out - only to find more and more long pages with no clear way to report such a thing. I tried to be bold and revert the edit, but the WP software didn't seem to let me. I was on the brink of walking away from it, but this place lured me in with the "friendly place" tagline ;) so I thought I'd give it a try. Any way to deal with it without entering into an edit war, issuing five levels of warnings to the user, finding the correct committee, participating in a discussion and so on?

Thank you in advance! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fieldsofunnamedflowers ( talk • contribs) 20:21, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
Sorry not to have answered your question - but I feel these are far more important issues to address first. Should you know the artist you're writing about, do please read this page on Conflict of Interests. Regards, - Nick Moyes ( talk) 20:59, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
For those as curious as I was, it's about Nicole Peyrafitte David notMD ( talk) 03:00, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
I was trying to ask a question on an experienced admin's page, but was redirected to here. Is there any way I could stop the redirecting? The question,by the way, is directly before this post. @Nomnom121 (talk) 15:49 14 November 2018 (MST)
Hi, please, where should I publish my request for a review, checking of the page I have finished tonight, it is in Sandbox/Heralune, can you reach it ? Should I publish to check it ? It's about an australian singer, Linda Cable. Thanks Heralune ( talk) 00:37, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Even if it might mean having to insert video tutorials in as many different languages as possible so that it will make it easier for users in general to understand a lot better how to navigate through all those links? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BillyAlbornoz ( talk • contribs) 02:02, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
Hello Editors! I just picked this page's namesake off of a list (Category:Wikipedia articles needing copy edit from November 2018 — which I can't seem to link here), and edited the content of one section, previously "FAMILY MAN", that includes the names and DOBs of his minor children. I've searched but can't find the policy about that aspect, so am not sure if I am allowed to remove their names and DOBs, but it seems a potential danger to the kids to publish that. Is this the place to ask for help finding the policy? Thank you for your attention. - RFT42 ( talk) 00:49, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
If I find and article which states false information and uses misleadings references in order to try to make it believable but when you look into the quotes either do no exist or simply do not mention the information they are referring to.
How can I correct this information?
Also, what should I do if I find an article which was created to difamate or harm someones reputation. Is Wikkipedia supporting any false information and it its impossible to correct? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tumaca70 ( talk • contribs) 05:26, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
I know that citing wikipedia itself isn't allowed, but is linking to the more specific wikipedia page okay?
Example: I was trying to help cleanup List of Muslim scientists, and I didn't know if I needed to cite the birth and death dates directly, or since the page is linked and that has the same dates if that is good enough.
Thank you for your help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gallium314 ( talk • contribs) 05:57, 15 November 2018 (UTC) .
For brevity: I need to change my user name for entries over the last year. Email address can stay the same. Is this doable? Or just got to my IP address, or? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2606:6000:6683:7E00:9DF3:8571:AEEB:A527 ( talk) 08:46, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
Is there a limit for the menu bar? It's half the size of the page now, and It won't let me add to it.-- Thegooduser Let's Chat 🍁 02:54, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello, this is a very good and recent interview about Wax (UK). It disproves some of the inaccuracies on the Wikipedia page. There is one editor who keeps editing it out, not realising the impact it has. Can the 10cc/Wax pages please use it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZanetaStepanova ( talk • contribs)
I would like to submit an article about a notable family in the hospitality industry - specifically on two brothers. I noticed that one brother already has a wiki page. When i submitted an article for the other brother, it was submitted for speedy deletion. I've contacted the user but he did not reply to my enquiries. Can i find out if i can still submit a revised version of the article? Would really like to see this through.

Hi Everyone,
I have requested an article to be created about a band and I am wondering if you all think it is worthy of an article.
I believe they are worthy but am looking for an attestation so I can have some validity to me request.
The band is The Mixus Brothers ...
Can someone with experience in the Wiki world give me an honest answer?
Thanks! Jacob slimpikenzIII — Preceding unsigned comment added by SlimpikenzIII ( talk • contribs) 16:53, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
I truly appreciate you getting back to me... The band has multiple articles in the local paper like this https://www.pghcitypaper.com/pittsburgh/the-mixus-brothers-make-pretty-music-even-if-theyre-not-family/Content?oid=1719534 and this https://www.pghcitypaper.com/pittsburgh/new-releases/Content?oid=1603205 this was on local TV https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56plVjYXqv4&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR3X8d-7xWesRvY2VEMtys73A2GjTwpg_7yGWHaD6VUg5kWqYuTOXxPEdLA There is also this out of the UK https://www.americanrootsuk.com/the-mixus-brothers---to-hang-me-high.html
So there are plenty of other mentions but those are the ones I would consider outstanding...what would you think?
Thank you again!! Jacob — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.2.137.37 ( talk) 17:23, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
Could the download link be in a header position? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.194.53.218 ( talk) 15:58, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
I stumbled across this today: an IP-user took what looked like a well-sourced article and removed most of its content with comment "Wrong information, ... added bands real history,..." in March 2018. It was caught by a bot, but somehow overcome by the user in question. There was one attempt in August to bring back what seems to be the correct discography, reverted from the same IP. No discussion on the article's talk page, nothing. I'm not familiar with the band, but this seems like a weird case of vandalism?
I started reading through WP:VANDAL, but as usual with WP policies, it's very long-winded. I tried to find a place where volunteers who specialize on dealing with it hang out - only to find more and more long pages with no clear way to report such a thing. I tried to be bold and revert the edit, but the WP software didn't seem to let me. I was on the brink of walking away from it, but this place lured me in with the "friendly place" tagline ;) so I thought I'd give it a try. Any way to deal with it without entering into an edit war, issuing five levels of warnings to the user, finding the correct committee, participating in a discussion and so on?
