Adding new section for this question posted above - ClueBot NG needs to be worked on. How did i make a mistake in this? I added a weather section on this article /info/en/?search=Nausana. (question asked by User:ShoushaJr in unrelated section above). Orville1974 ( talk) 17:47, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
In the article Kalki, Under the subheader "Wheel of Time Tantra" under header "Description", it was mentioned that Kalki will take birth to eradiacte the forces of Islam. It's source has been mentioned as some books of western writers but all of us Hindus who revere Kalki as 10th avatar of Lord Vishnu as per Vishnu Purana have no knowledge of any such text. I am reading it for the first time. Vishnu Purana and Kalki Purana was supposed to be written well beyond the origins of Islam and thus have no mentions of Islam. And Kalki is a primary diety in Hinduism and It should be clearly mentioned that in Hinduism, there is no text mentioning the word "Islam" or "Forces of Islam". These lines have been added recently by these writers to spread hatred in society, open another front against one religion.
I have kind suggestion that some Hindu scholars be consulted into the matter as it is grave and serious concern as it pits my religion without any reason against another religion. And if the author can provide any valid book of Hinduism which mentions the word "Islam" or Kalki will take birth to fight Islam, I am ready to accept it. Shame on the people who did this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.25.170.226 ( talk) 03:34, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

The template for "Lists of classical music composers by eras" that appears at the upper right of several Wikipedia articles or lists is partly out of date. I cannot find a URL for the template, but I have provided the full title of the template in the first sentence just above. Wikipedia lists now exist for composers of the Modernist and Postmodern eras, and these need to be added to the template. I would update the template myself if the customary V.T.E. buttons were at the bottom, but they are missing and I know of no other way to do the edit.

Hi, I have, I belief, a new genre of music that I am about to present with the help of a book that is in he hands of a publishing companies editing department.
I have been a musician for 30+- years, The genre has some"cousins" like most genres. The genre I want to build is Caribbean Rock, not to be confused with Reggae Rock, or a few other genres that might sound the same.
The sound is not Jimmy Buffet, or Beach Boys, or a true Bob Marley, but a harder combination of rock and reggae: like throwing together Van Halen and Bob Marley.
I have heard just a few tunes that can fit into this sound, I have a few that I would like to present to this genre, and with that combination I believe that the sound could and should be in it's own genre.
My question, would this be a worthwhile cause? 06/10/19 — Preceding unsigned comment added by J.R. john Weldon ( talk • contribs) 14:45, 10 June 2019 (UTC)

Good afternoon!
I contributed to translate this article: /info/en/?search=Fausto_Olivares I used the French version of it as a reference: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fausto_Olivares
It was written that I had to add this sentence somewhere:
Content in this edit is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at fr:Fausto Olivares; see its history for attribution.
I put it at the end of the article but the layout doesn't look good at all and I am not sure where I am supposed to put that sentence.

Last year, a band released an orchestral album, which was notable enough to warrant its own article. This year, they released another album, but it has the same track listing as the orchestral album (excluding 2 songs) and (as of today) it doesn't have as much independent sources surrounding it. This album is not orchestral, but it has extended re-recorded versions of the previous songs.
Is it more appropriate for this information to be within the orchestral album's article or in its own article? If the former is preferred, on the discography page should a link to the new album be a redirect to the orchestral page or a standard "Orchestralalbum#newalbumsection" link? Thanks.

Hello Teahouse: Why do Wikipedia portal topics (example: Alberta Portal) and the Wikipedia portal template allow name attribution for the photographer who took the image, while Wikipedia regular and portal topics do not?

I have stopped it now, don't want to engage in an edit war. Let me know on my talk page if you think I should add a piece talking about new formulae for the harmonic numbers.
It's a pretty interesting formula, and though I agree it'd be best coming from a non author, we all know many authors give their work a little push in wikipedia, to say otherwise is hipocrisy.

Hi all,
I am new to wiki and super duper confused. I thought I made a userpage for me, but it was declined. I recognize that it wasn't very substantial, but I don't want to be very detailed. Is it necessary to have a userpage/what do I have to do in order to get it accepted. Perhaps I was not making userpage?

Hello! So, I'm creating an article on Walter J. Winnett and have found some useful information that would easily suit the article I'm writing in Winnett, Montana's Wikipedia Page. I am wondering: A. If this should be on the town's page B. Can I copy it onto the page C. If A is a no, does that change the answer? (For future experience)
Also, if I am allowed to copy the writing, how would I cite that, as it's not my writing. Thanks!
The text I want to copy: "Winnett ran away from home as a boy, seeking adventure in "Indian country." His excellent marksmanship abilities helped him get jobs with outfits who were always looking for someone who could keep them in fresh meat. When he was captured by Sioux Indians and later adopted into the tribe, he was given the name Eagle Eyes because of his remarkable shooting skills.
Winnett established a ranch in Montana Territory in 1879 near an active trading post and the Hangman's Tree used by vigilantes in the area. The massive ranch house, which he built in 1900 housed his own family and served as a gathering place for the community. Dances, weddings, funerals, church services, and school were all held here. Billings was the closest town, so Winnett built up a freight line business to haul supplies. Each of his outfits consisted of ten to twenty horses and huge wagons. In 1910 he built a store and petitioned for a post office.[5]" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gavinxps ( talk • contribs) 23:52, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
I needed to find something and thought maybe this is the best place. So, English isn't my first language and I'm not very fluent in it. Where can I find someone who'll be kind enough to check an article for grammar/spelling mistakes? WP:TYPO comes to mind. Do I approach a random editor in it? Peer review doesn't really work, it's good for maybe articles that're already great. Is there a Wikiproject or just some editor who can help me with grammar/spelling and other obvious mistakes that I would've made? The page I need help with is List of dzongkhags of Bhutan.

I submitted an article for a Living Person, Alina von Davier. She is a psychometrician who is widely published and recognized as a pioneer in computational psychometrics, a specialized field of psychometrics. Dr. Von Davier is the president of the International Association for Computerized Adaptive Testing among many other titles and positions.
I edited the original submission and resubmitted 37 days ago. Do I need to ping a reviewer? Or when can I expect the revised article to be reviewed? Atomburke1 ( talk) 21:07, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
@ Timtempleton: Thank you TT. Per Google scholar, her work has been cited over 2000x and she has authored over 400 entries (books and articles). Here's the link to Dr. Von Davier's Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C16&q=Alina+von+Davier&btnG=

Good afternoon!
I contributed to translate this article: /info/en/?search=Fausto_Olivares I used the French version of it as a reference: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fausto_Olivares
It was written that I had to add this sentence somewhere:
Content in this edit is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at fr:Fausto Olivares; see its history for attribution.
I put it at the end of the article but the layout doesn't look good at all and I am not sure where I am supposed to put that sentence.
Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you very much for your answers! Yes it's a mistake, I translated it from the French article. I was double-checking always what was written on the Spanish page too so I wrote "Spanish" by mistake. Thank you for your precious help! Hippolyte sans MS ( talk) 17:56, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

Last year, a band released an orchestral album, which was notable enough to warrant its own article. This year, they released another album, but it has the same track listing as the orchestral album (excluding 2 songs) and (as of today) it doesn't have as much independent sources surrounding it. This album is not orchestral, but it has extended re-recorded versions of the previous songs.
Is it more appropriate for this information to be within the orchestral album's article or in its own article? If the former is preferred, on the discography page should a link to the new album be a redirect to the orchestral page or a standard "Orchestralalbum#newalbumsection" link? Thanks.

Hello Teahouse: Why do Wikipedia portal topics (example: Alberta Portal) and the Wikipedia portal template allow name attribution for the photographer who took the image, while Wikipedia regular and portal topics do not? Just curious... I personally find the name attribution to be distracting from the image but I am sure there is a Wikipedian logic I am not aware of -- GRDN711 ( talk) 02:30, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
I have stopped it now, don't want to engage in an edit war. Let me know on my talk page if you think I should add a piece talking about new formulae for the harmonic numbers.
It's a pretty interesting formula, and though I agree it'd be best coming from a non author, we all know many authors give their work a little push in wikipedia, to say otherwise is hipocrisy.

So my first article was declined ( /info/en/?search=Draft:Last_Oasis). Comment only said "Does not show it meets GNG yet". I am fairly certain the two sources meet those but I am probably missing something.

Hi all,
I am new to wiki and super duper confused. I thought I made a userpage for me, but it was declined. I recognize that it wasn't very substantial, but I don't want to be very detailed. Is it necessary to have a userpage/what do I have to do in order to get it accepted. Perhaps I was not making userpage?
This is what I had: Magnovby is a wiki editor based on the third planet from the Sun, Earth.

Hello! So, I'm creating an article on Walter J. Winnett and have found some useful information that would easily suit the article I'm writing in Winnett, Montana's Wikipedia Page. I am wondering: A. If this should be on the town's page B. Can I copy it onto the page C. If A is a no, does that change the answer? (For future experience)
Also, if I am allowed to copy the writing, how would I cite that, as it's not my writing. Thanks!
The text I want to copy: "Winnett ran away from home as a boy, seeking adventure in "Indian country." His excellent marksmanship abilities helped him get jobs with outfits who were always looking for someone who could keep them in fresh meat. When he was captured by Sioux Indians and later adopted into the tribe, he was given the name Eagle Eyes because of his remarkable shooting skills.
Winnett established a ranch in Montana Territory in 1879 near an active trading post and the Hangman's Tree used by vigilantes in the area. The massive ranch house, which he built in 1900 housed his own family and served as a gathering place for the community. Dances, weddings, funerals, church services, and school were all held here. Billings was the closest town, so Winnett built up a freight line business to haul supplies. Each of his outfits consisted of ten to twenty horses and huge wagons. In 1910 he built a store and petitioned for a post office.[5]" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gavinxps ( talk • contribs) 23:52, 11 June 2019 (UTC)
I needed to find something and thought maybe this is the best place. So, English isn't my first language and I'm not very fluent in it. Where can I find someone who'll be kind enough to check an article for grammar/spelling mistakes? WP:TYPO comes to mind. Do I approach a random editor in it? Peer review doesn't really work, it's good for maybe articles that're already great. Is there a Wikiproject or just some editor who can help me with grammar/spelling and other obvious mistakes that I would've made? The page I need help with is List of dzongkhags of Bhutan.

It seems to me that there is just too little to write about the station before it's built, and usually with one citation links to the plan, however some editor believe it is going to be built anyway so it better be there.

, which is currently being used to create the Infobox in related articles. We do not ever link to draft articles from mainpace articles or templates as there is no guarantee that the draft will ever make it. Sending readers to a deleted page would be pointless. I'm not saying this will happen in your case, but I do need you to understand why the link to
Boogaloo must remain a redlink for now. Alternatively you can remove it entirely until such time as the article makes it into the main part of our encyclopaedia. Hope this helps,

Writing on behalf of Draft:Youtube-dl - right now most of the page content comes from the software's pages on GitHub. I'm presuming that since these are first-party sources, they are not valid. If I cite an archived version, is that OK? Or do I need to find secondary sources (after all, those sources will just be citing the GitHub page again)? Shindo Nana talk? 09:47, 12 June 2019 (UTC)
