Hello! I'm quite new to editing, and while looking for pages to do some work on I found a bunch of articles that seem to be edited almost exclusively by users attached to college courses. I know that student editors aren't supposed to be treated differently than any other editor, but I'm a little hesitant to do any significant work on pages that seem to have been created and subsequently maintained by a bunch of different classes at a bunch of different universities. They're not necessarily bad articles, and overall they've gotten better over time, but they do seem to sort of perpetually get edited in a not-entirely-encyclopedic way, with little attention from regular editors. The specific articles I looked at are Sexuality in music videos, Misogyny in rap music, and Hip-hop feminism. Is the focus on these articles for classes intentional or accidental? It seems like some of it could be merged with other articles, or pared down, but I don't want to suggest big changes for an article that an incoming class will expect to be working on (or, honestly, an article that isn't very good but will just be re-created over and over). I feel quite conflicted, and a little confused, about this, so specific suggestions would be really helpful. Zojomars ( talk) 11:49, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for looking and responding to this. This morning I was looking up Past Life Regression and under "Modern Era" there was no mention of Brian Weiss, MD who is truly single handily responsible for a resurgence in the area of past life regression and is, without a doubt and provable, a best selling author of "Many Lives, Many Masters" and is an MD who was Head of Psychiatry, Mount Sinai Medical Center, Miami. Dr. Weiss, MD is listed in Wikipedia himself, as an expert in the field of Past Life Regression.

Now I'm afraid to start another English page for other Japanese Voice Actor.

I find the constant changing of the wikimania banner extremely annoying.
I would appreciate if it had, at least, a "Close!" button.
I would also apreciate if a close of this banner once, or any other banner, which one is closing once, would prevent it from EVER appearing again, for me, respectively any other registered and logged-in user, who has closed this banner once, respectively for an IP user for the rest of his/her session.
A "Close!" button and a "close once and forever" function should be standard and mandatory for any banner.

Hi! I was wondering, say I want to create a table that is used in multiple locations.... How do I do that so I can then implement the same table in multiple articles; but only have one copy of the table? (i.e. so that if changes are made to the table, then the changes appear everywhere....) An example is the WP article Relative permittivity which in the very beginning has this in the source: {{Relative permittivity table}}. (An aside question is also, say I want to view the source of this table {{Relative permittivity table}}, how do I do that.......... I was not able to find that actual table!)

Hi,
I am assisting an acquaintance - who owns and runs an eponymous jewelry label - with publishing an article about her company on Wikipedia.
I worked on what I thought was a neutral entry with multiple references to media mentions, but the article has been declined after the first round.
My questions are: are certain types of sources not reliable or not deemed 'strong' enough to use as valid reference points? Is there anything that absolutely can not go in a brand's Wikipedia article?
Any help much appreciated - thank you in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nickremsen ( talk • contribs) 20:10, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi,
I'm new at writing articles and have used the AfC submission but as my latest article Gaztransport & Technigaz was not reviewed after a month I used my autoconfirmed status to move it to MainSpace where it was disambiguated by a New Page reviewer, so I assume it is suitable?
Also, the Page Information says that indexing by robots is allowed.
My question is why does it not appear on Google?
Is this because it needs to be marked as reviewed?
Will it only be indexable after 90 days from creation?
Apologies if I've made any procedural errors and thanks in advance for any help.

Hey, Teahouse folks,
Not a new editor but I have a question and so many editors circle by this page, I hope someone can provide me with a quick link. I've come across a list of newly created accounts which I sometimes scanned to see if there were any username issues. But I can't find it any more. I've looked at Special:SpecialPages where I thought it was located but I can only find a general active users list (which is organized alphabetically, not chronologically). Can any of your wide circle of helpers here recall where new accounts list is located? If so, many thanks!
P.S. I use to hang out here quite a lot years ago when I was a new editor and, frankly, I probably would have quit editing if it wasn't for the patience and help of regulars here. Thanks again to all of the editors who spend a little time answering questions like this. Liz Read! Talk! 04:04, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

This morning I was looking up Past Life Regression and under "Modern Era" there was no mention of Brian Weiss, MD who is truly single handily responsible for a resurgence in the area of past life regression and is, without a doubt and provable, a best selling author of "Many Lives, Many Masters" and is an MD who was Head of Psychiatry, Mount Sinai Medical Center, Miami. Dr. Weiss, MD is listed in Wikipedia himself, as an expert in the field of Past Life Regression.

Below is what I saw when I looked at "view history"

I am not Brian Weiss, MD, this is not to promote anything other than giving credit to where credit is due. If you are going to mention "Modern Era" of Past Life Regression and you mention Bridey Murphy but not Brian Weiss, MD you are not looking at the whole story.
Thank you and I look forward to your response.

why if I automatically want to start a new page, I get a sandbox? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Barbie Tingz ( talk • contribs) 20:27, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
Hello, I started a Japanese Voice Actor English page /info/en/?search=Yoshiki_Nakajima and it was deleted, somehow it came back again this month. I was wondering why the article deleted, it was still on progress and that Japanese Voice Actor is notable Voice Actor in Japan with leading roles. Now I'm afraid to start another English page for other Japanese Voice Actor.
I also confused how to change the template on the article. There are few articles without template and I want to edit the articles but have no idea how to use the template properly. I tried to make the template but the result are irregular and at the end I cancelled the template. - — Preceding unsigned comment added by Juliet6884 ( talk • contribs) 16:07, 29 May 2019 (UTC)
@OkayKenG Thank you for the information. I'm having trouble with the Template:Infobox person.

I find the constant changing of the wikimania banner extremely annoying.
I would appreciate if it had, at least, a "Close!" button.
I would also apreciate if a close of this banner once, or any other banner, which one is closing once, would prevent it from EVER appearing again, for me, respectively any other registered and logged-in user, who has closed this banner once, respectively for an IP user for the rest of his/her session.
A "Close!" button and a "close once and forever" function should be standard and mandatory for any banner.

Hi! I was wondering, say I want to create a table that is used in multiple locations.... How do I do that so I can then implement the same table in multiple articles; but only have one copy of the table? (i.e. so that if changes are made to the table, then the changes appear everywhere....) An example is the WP article Relative permittivity which in the very beginning has this in the source: {{Relative permittivity table}}. (An aside question is also, say I want to view the source of this table {{Relative permittivity table}}, how do I do that.......... I was not able to find that actual table!)

Because writer is pretty known as his two shows are Biggest shows according to sources.

On the Unity Mitford page I am almost certain the photograph is that of the film star Greta Garbo rather than Unity Mitford or any of her sisters. I don't have the confidence to correct the page and wonder if anyone could check, perhaps confirm (or otherwise) and make the change if necessary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bertsboy ( talk • contribs) 11:51, 1 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to create an article on the Loudenslager Laser 200 aircraft (currently in my sandbox). Should I go ahead and move it into article space, or submit it somewhere for review first? Thanks, Gorkypickeral ( talk) 18:48, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi,
I am assisting an acquaintance - who owns and runs an eponymous jewelry label - with publishing an article about her company on Wikipedia.
I worked on what I thought was a neutral entry with multiple references to media mentions, but the article has been declined after the first round.
My questions are: are certain types of sources not reliable or not deemed 'strong' enough to use as valid reference points? Is there anything that absolutely can not go in a brand's Wikipedia article?
Any help much appreciated - thank you in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nickremsen ( talk • contribs) 20:10, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi,
I'm new at writing articles and have used the AfC submission but as my latest article Gaztransport & Technigaz was not reviewed after a month I used my autoconfirmed status to move it to MainSpace where it was disambiguated by a New Page reviewer, so I assume it is suitable?
Also, the Page Information says that indexing by robots is allowed.
My question is why does it not appear on Google?
Is this because it needs to be marked as reviewed?
Will it only be indexable after 90 days from creation?
Apologies if I've made any procedural errors and thanks in advance for any help.

22:03, 1 June 2019 (UTC)Obviousley, due to the automatic repettitive change of number of lines in the wikimania banner (every 3 seconds), the main vertical menu (on the left side) is jumping up and down. I find this extremely annoying and distracting. Please DO repair this bug ASAP.

I am using Firefox (67.) and Windows 8.1. I have tried your tip and changed something in the gadgets. First I had no result, but meanwhile, maybe due to closing and restarting Firefox, I see no banner anymore. And if this remains the case then I will be happy.

Hey, Teahouse folks,
Not a new editor but I have a question and so many editors circle by this page, I hope someone can provide me with a quick link. I've come across a list of newly created accounts which I sometimes scanned to see if there were any username issues. But I can't find it any more. I've looked at Special:SpecialPages where I thought it was located but I can only find a general active users list (which is organized alphabetically, not chronologically). Can any of your wide circle of helpers here recall where new accounts list is located? If so, many thanks!
P.S. I use to hang out here quite a lot years ago when I was a new editor and, frankly, I probably would have quit editing if it wasn't for the patience and help of regulars here. Thanks again to all of the editors who spend a little time answering questions like this. Liz Read! Talk! 04:04, 31 May 2019 (UTC)
There's a Multiple issues template on the page, followed by the content of the page. The page needs an About template too. Should I place it above, or below, the Multiple issues template that already exists? Epic style editor (very cool) ( talk) 16:16, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
