I do not know if this is the correct place to voice this complaint. If not then please direct me to the proper destination.
My complaint is that some editors, jump into old articles which has a shortage of citations (and they are legion, so many that if all such were deleted then WP would be a skeleton.
What these eager beavers do is drop in and leave a citation about more references or citations needed such as this Template:Refimprove section.
I ask why bother, such a template might be called for on an article being submitted for review. but we are talking about articles that could be 9 or 10 years older or date back to the inception of WP.
For an old article, one in which the oirginal author(s)might have long gone on to other things,what does the editor who drops such a template expect? Better yet, since no one owns an article instead of dropping a template, show some initiative and do some research and provide the citation needed. I am not discussing articles submitted for review, but articles that have a long history on main space. Oldperson ( talk) 21:26, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

I am not sure how to proceed, and would like to ask for a recommended course of action. The concern is the recent IP edits of the Dido Elizabeth Belle page. As you can see from history, three IP editors have the same agenda (outing and deleting a particular source). I hesitate to start a dialog with a IP editor (i.e. placing warning templates), since the likelihood of a vandal seems high (do note the hate speech in the first bout of edits) and I can't be sure it really is one and the same person. Really I would prefer to hand this off to an admin or similar, but can't seem to find a good fit for a noticeboard. Each IP user hasn't done "enough", and seems careful to only use valid expressions (and so I can't rule out good faith). I sure don't want to play a game of whack-a-mole here, and feel it is not my place to keep reverting this stuff. Thanks CapnZapp ( talk) 11:17, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

Am I allowed to do that? I found a biography webpage of very good quality that confirms a whole lot of things I am writing into my English language wikipedia article.

Dear Teahouse host. I seem to have a problem with the Explanatory Footnote (efn) template, when I define several explanatory footnotes in a list inside the Notelist template and cite a reference in its content using the Shortened Footnote (sfn) template. Please see the article Jean-Antoine de Mesmes (1640-1709) (9:35, 29 March 2019), which throws a "cite error: A list-defined reference named ... is not used in the content". The documentation for the efn template cites the article Chinese Room, which does similar use of the efn template. It seems to be fine when I have only one efn in the list but goes wrong when I add a another. With many thanks! Johannes Schade ( talk) 09:56, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

How do you edit an article to include a hatnote? No Frills (grocery store) should probably be included in a hatnote under the article No Frills Excursions, especially since "NoFrills" is a common way to refer to the grocery store (at least in my local area, it was what I was expecting to find when I searched it) and redirects to that article.

I know it’s generally discouraged to cite Wikipedia. My teachers said it, Wikipedia says it, I say it. But is it okay to cite Wikipedia in Wikipedia?

Hi all, I recently published a page /info/en/?search=Lenny_(Leonard)_Pozner which I have just discovered does not appear in google searches. I am wondering why, and also how can I fix this? Could it be because after initially publishing the page as "Leonard Pozner" I moved it to "Lenny (Leonard) Pozner"? The reason for this was that I had had a re-think and decided that the subject of the page was more commonly known by the name "Lenny". Thanks 330highflyer ( talk) 03:37, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

As said above. Also, is there other things that notify a user? Acyclonxe Let’s discuss it, please. 06:11, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

without a template. The edit has to be signed and there are some other conditions which are usually met. There are details at
mw:Manual:Echo#Technical details but if you just remember to sign in the same edit then it's usually OK.

The English Wikipedia article for the Danish Soccer club Boldklubben Frem has the roster of a Portuguese team rather than that of the team.
This is a link to the correct roster: http://www.bkfrem.dk/default.asp?id=19 . The Transfermarkt page will also tell you more about the players. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/boldklubben-frem/startseite/verein/444

Can someone tell me about some kinds of Text formatting? I have saw a lot of users using different kind of colors too but those codes were really hard to decipher and memorise. Shades and all that stuff too are pretty confusing. Your help will be remembered, appreciated and Re-paid. From a Universal Servant Levent Heitmeier ( talk) 15:50, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

I know it’s generally discouraged to cite Wikipedia. My teachers said it, Wikipedia says it, I say it. But is it okay to cite Wikipedia in Wikipedia? For example, I recently added the event of two Texas officers being gunned down by Barrow Gang members in Grapevine Texas to a date article. I cited a specific section from Wikipedia’s Frank Hamer article. Is that ok? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SmileyTrek ( talk • contribs) 15:42, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Hi all, I recently published a page /info/en/?search=Lenny_(Leonard)_Pozner which I have just discovered does not appear in google searches. I am wondering why, and also how can I fix this? Could it be because after initially publishing the page as "Leonard Pozner" I moved it to "Lenny (Leonard) Pozner"? The reason for this was that I had had a re-think and decided that the subject of the page was more commonly known by the name "Lenny". Thanks 330highflyer ( talk) 03:37, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
I found that the first link in the Further Reading of Climate change is not working. The "Summary for Policymakers" needs to be updated. I found a new link https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15/ but am not sure how to change it. I should be ok with editing a semi-protected article. But the visual editor link doesn't let me do anything. I didn't want to mess with the edit source hyperlink without making sure about how this citation works. Thanks for your help.

Hello! I have just made a page and it got saved as draft, does this mean Wikipedia is reviewing the page and starting the process to publish it on google? I'm new here so I don't have much idea about it, I would be happy to know.:) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vijitvj ( talk • contribs) 22:06, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
Hello,
I am currently working on my first article and could use some feedback regarding images. I have gone through the training module and attempted to search images in wikipedia related to my subject but it is quite specific. I am trying to upload images on specific joint designs in welds. If I am referencing a book, would it be allowed for me to recreate those images myself and use them in my article?
Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aguilar.97 ( talk • contribs) 21:55, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Is a survey by a national information clearinghouse (The Scientist Magazine) sufficiently third party? The target organization was not a participant in the survey. 2,081 usable and qualifying responses were received from 61 separate sources and tabulated by magazine staff, and the magazine published the results. Can this be used as independent third-party data? DeknMike ( talk) 02:41, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
Wikipedia has their own version of submitting information via web code. They also have a page reference [1]
Delete this section soon:(Looking for followup link on how to adjust my signature as it seems to be Dale Downer ( talk) 05:03, 1 April 2019 (UTC) locked or something I'm missing.)
