I've tried really hard to understand what is meant by a notable source but just don't get it. Does it have to be a footnote, a link to a website or do I have to write something like "Sourced from [insert website here]" Also, does it have to be a source from a big company like a newspaper or can it just be anything not by me? Please help as I'm very confused and Thank you so much in advance :)
‘’’Edit:’’’ Thank you for explaining so clearly and politely! And yes I was confusing notability and reliability so that’s cleared it up. Again, Thnakyou!

I was reading up on Wikipedia's information on Plötzensee Prison ( /info/en/?search=Pl%C3%B6tzensee_Prison) and upon looking up the names of the victims, Gerd Meyer is referred to as a German light rower and won a gold medal at the 1987 World Rowing Championship in Copenhagen ( /info/en/?search=Gerd_Meyer). The Plötzensee Prison is known for the execution of political prisoners during World War II, and I have a strong suspicion that it isn't the same Gerd Meyer.

I would like to edit an article but I am not sure how my edit(s) will be perceived. It has to do with the etymology of a word. There are several speculations but nothing is conclusive. Currently there is only one definition present in this wiktionary page and it does not include that we don't really know the etymology of the word. Should I start a conversation on the talk page before editing the main entry? Should I make the changes and then explain my reasoning on the talk page? Also currently on this wiktionary page there are no sources displayed. Should I ask for the reliable sources of the existing? Should I have reliable sources before doing anything else?

Hello, there, I created a page to write about Mundo Hispánico (a US Latino newspaper). I submitted that article under Mundo Hispánico user and It was declined.

I noticed that an editor identifiable by only an IP address removed a controversial section of an article, stating that the content was untrue and not necessary. The content was extensively cited; as to whether it was necessary is a matter of opinion. As I believe the content is relevant, objective, and informative, I would like to revert the deletion. To avoid an edit war, I would like to engage with the editor on the article's talk page to discuss. Discussing it on the article's talk page is more appropriate than discussing it on the user's talk page, correct? Is it possible to "ping" a user editing with only an IP address? I'm not sure how to contact this person to let him/her know I would like to engage in a discussion. Thank you for your guidance. LandLubber56 ( talk) 01:43, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello! I would like to help some articles that I read that could have more links. For instance, "Wikipedia Elvis Christmas".
/info/en/?search=Elvis_Christmas
There are wikipedia articles about some of the songs that don't have links in the article. I searched, for instance, for 10. "I Believe" and found a Wikipedia article about the song. Elvis is mentioned in the article. I would like to help. If it is necessary to create a special article, just about Elvis and the song, the article I found has enough information to do it. Or maybe the link could just direct to the article about the song. Anyway, it is better than leaving the song without a link, isn't it?
Another point: there is an article about Mimi Stillman, a famous flutist and it has a link to an outside article... Well, this link was "stolen" to advertise a product that has nothing to do with Dante, or music. I would like to tell the people that have written the article about this "stolen link". How can I do it?
/info/en/?search=Mimi_Stillman
In the SELECTED PUBLICATIONS there is this link: Mimi Stillman, The Music of Dante's Purgatorio, Hortulus: The Online Graduate Journal of Medieval Studies 1, no. 1 (2005): 13-21. If you follow it, it will go to this: http://www.hortulus.net/ - And the article is from another Hortulus that has stolen the link, I believe, because I saw this happen at another page about Dante, not Wikipedia: Diagnosing Cataracts POSTED ON MAY 22, 2018 (!!!)

Dear Wikipedians, We are creating on the public budget of a country and we need to copy original charts and graphs from the government's official version of the budget. How can we do this as the draft page is not able to display charts and graphs? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MMMS2019 ( talk • contribs)

05:49, 14 May 2019 (UTC)I was recently editing Jim Chapman's infobox, but can't seem to place the alma mater correctly. Can anyone help fix this? Thank you! – DarkGlow ( talk) 14:47, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
I saw in some village pages fallingrain.com for coordinates. Is it a reliable source for coordinates?-- Vin09 (talk) 02:50, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
I've been working on an article and discovered the artist has used more than one name during their career. The article has an artist information template but does not have line for that. I also am not certain which name may be the birth name and which might be a name taken through marriage. I am not sure if it is important to note as most of the references that I have found are for the one name, only one reference is for the other name. Thank you!

I wanted to contribute some content on the open access movement, I wrote my first article and used an already published article as a template, did my best to follow the guidelines and I got a message indicating it would be deleted because it was "unambiguous advertising".
What am I doing wrong? Or rather what can I do get my contributions accepted? TIA RIContent ( talk) 11:09, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi! Nice to meet you!, I want to express my curiosity on why on the article Gaza–Israel clashes (May 2019), on the International response section are only included the U.S. and EU. Don't the other countries matter too? Just a curiosity. Thanks! -- LLcentury ( talk) 16:48, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

I was reading up on Wikipedia's information on Plötzensee Prison ( /info/en/?search=Pl%C3%B6tzensee_Prison) and upon looking up the names of the victims, Gerd Meyer is referred to as a German light rower and won a gold medal at the 1987 World Rowing Championship in Copenhagen ( /info/en/?search=Gerd_Meyer). The Plötzensee Prison is known for the execution of political prisoners during World War II, and I have a strong suspicion that it isn't the same Gerd Meyer.
Please let me know if you need additional information.
Thank you,

If I'm signed into my Wikipedia account on a device that doesn't have the Wikipedia app, when I go back on Wikipedia via the app, will the history of what articles I looked at while using the desktop version still show up on the History page of the app, despite the webpage version not having a reading history section? Also I've never used the Teahouse before so if this question has been answered before I'm sorry, I didn't know how to access the answer without pages and pages of scrolling, I'm not trying to be annoying. Thank you for your time. Feralcateater000 ( talk) 12:45, 14 May 2019 (UTC)feralcateater000
I would like to edit an article but I am not sure how my edit(s) will be perceived. It has to do with the etymology of a word. There are several speculations but nothing is conclusive. Currently there is only one definition present in this wiktionary page and it does not include that we don't really know the etymology of the word. Should I start a conversation on the talk page before editing the main entry? Should I make the changes and then explain my reasoning on the talk page? Also currently on this wiktionary page there are no sources displayed. Should I ask for the reliable sources of the existing? Should I have reliable sources before doing anything else? What would you suggest?— Preceding unsigned comment added by PhantomPower48 ( talk • contribs)
Sometimes when I go back to the very last revision diffs on pages like Pedophilia and September 11th attacks (for example, https://en.wikipedia.org/?date-range-to=2001-09-13&tagfilter=&title=Pedophilia&action=history), it mistakenly shows the very first edit (aka the page creation) as eliminating bytes when creating a page actually creates bytes. Could it be because these pages deal with controversial topics as opposed to others? Sitbackplease ( talk) 16:50, 14 May 2019 (UTC)
I have just got Autoconfirmed rights, and I read about TW (Twinkle) which is useful to edit faster, so what you think I should use it or should try Manual editing, For now, I'm learning Wiki markup to mention, create a custom sign, colors to table, and also reading about policy's about deleting and maintaining templates, also Notability about biographies Organisations and list related articles. what you think I should more focus on to learn more about Wikipedia editing? -- WikiLover97 ( talk) 17:49, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi! I recently created my first article, O.C. Tanner (company) because I saw that it wasn't here on Wikipedia. I know that it is still a work in progress and that User:Theroadislong tagged it for various concerns, and I was wondering if I could get a third party to look at it. Know that I do not have a COI with the organization, but with several articles mentioning it, I thought it was notable enough to get its own article. Thanks! Rollidan ( talk) 18:43, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello, there, I created a page to write about Mundo Hispánico (a US Latino newspaper). I submitted that article under Mundo Hispánico user and It was declined. I am trying to have it approved now under my username (I just created my own username ArgieAtl19) Also, I need to know where I have to disclaim that I was hired to write that article. One more thing, I wondered if I can chat with Robert McClennon (he was the editor reviewing the page) or the editor is assigned randomly? Thanks in advance for your help. Link: /info/en/?search=User_talk:MundoHispanico#May_2019
I noticed that an editor identifiable by only an IP address removed a controversial section of an article, stating that the content was untrue and not necessary. The content was extensively cited; as to whether it was necessary is a matter of opinion. As I believe the content is relevant, objective, and informative, I would like to revert the deletion. To avoid an edit war, I would like to engage with the editor on the article's talk page to discuss. Discussing it on the article's talk page is more appropriate than discussing it on the user's talk page, correct? Is it possible to "ping" a user editing with only an IP address? I'm not sure how to contact this person to let him/her know I would like to engage in a discussion. Thank you for your guidance. LandLubber56 ( talk) 01:43, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
Hello
So I just moved an article draft from my sandbox into main namespace. But then, when I did a Google search for it, the Wiki article does not come as one of the hits. Usually, the Wiki entry on a person is the first hit. How can I "fix" this, please? Here is a link to the new draft: /info/en/?search=Frank_Potenza_(guitarist)

Hello! I would like to help some articles that I read that could have more links. For instance, "Wikipedia Elvis Christmas".
/info/en/?search=Elvis_Christmas
There are wikipedia articles about some of the songs that don't have links in the article. I searched, for instance, for 10. "I Believe" and found a Wikipedia article about the song. Elvis is mentioned in the article. I would like to help. If it is necessary to create a special article, just about Elvis and the song, the article I found has enough information to do it. Or maybe the link could just direct to the article about the song. Anyway, it is better than leaving the song without a link, isn't it?
Another point: there is an article about Mimi Stillman, a famous flutist and it has a link to an outside article... Well, this link was "stolen" to advertise a product that has nothing to do with Dante, or music. I would like to tell the people that have written the article about this "stolen link". How can I do it?
/info/en/?search=Mimi_Stillman
In the SELECTED PUBLICATIONS there is this link: Mimi Stillman, The Music of Dante's Purgatorio, Hortulus: The Online Graduate Journal of Medieval Studies 1, no. 1 (2005): 13-21. If you follow it, it will go to this: http://www.hortulus.net/ - And the article is from another Hortulus that has stolen the link, I believe, because I saw this happen at another page about Dante, not Wikipedia: Diagnosing Cataracts POSTED ON MAY 22, 2018 (!!!)
