I tried to significantly improve an article, and all of my edits were reverted. I am feeling discouraged- it is only the second article I have ever worked on. I wrote brief edit summaries and felt that my edits were constructive changes, certainly made in good faith. Now the page (Naomi Goldenberg) has been reverted to an incorrect birth date, redundancies and grammar issues.

Wikipedia seems to have its own company lingo, so no idea how to post this Q. I can't even wade through the Help pages lingo. How do I add a citation (if that's what it is called) to a sentence where the author has quoted someone's quote of an organization that actually does not show that quote?

Hi all,

I've cited all the info included - a mix of news articles and info gleaned from the company website.

Hi, I'm pretty new to editing on wikipedia, less than a month of experience in fact! Hopefully you can help me.
As the title says, how do I remove (citation needed) tags if the event in question is almost completely undocumented? I am currently editing Al Ahly SC and there is a (citation needed) tag, it is about the Sultan Hussein Cup and when they first participated in it. The competition itself stopped almost 100 years ago now, and some of the teams which participated in it where British military teams (when they occupied Egypt) and there is nothing about them anywhere. Al Ahly allegedly participated in 1918, and in that year even the runners up aren't known.
I really want this article to be one of the best, but I can't if there is no information about it in the whole world. Ammar Elbehery ( talk) 23:32, 16 June 2019 (UTC) ( edit conflict)
Hello. As a Delaware Native who proudly considers himself a Yankee, as well as the vast majority of Delawareans, I find it frustrating that my home states regional status changes what seems like every 6 months. Within the past few months, Delaware's regional classification has once again been altered to classify it as a south region state. However, neighboring Maryland, which doesn't go as far north as Delaware, goes further south, and actually borders a former Confederate State (Virginia) is classified as a Mid Atlantic State. In fact, Delaware's official webpage describes it as a State in the Northeast region of the United states. Also, the tags at the bottom of the Delaware Wikipedia page are listed as "Northeast"/"Mid Atlantic"-no mention of the South region. With all due respect, this makes Wikipedia look disjointed and sloppy.
Could I please get assistance with updating this page?
Thanks in advance,

Hi! I recently drafted an article on a healthcare company named W Medical Strategy Group.
Upon review, there were two suggested issues: 1. that the topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for companies and organizations 2. that the article contains content that is written like an advertisement
I've made some revisions in both the content and citations that would address the things mentioned above.
I am asking for feedback and recommendations on how I could better prove notability and stray from a promotional writing style. Please help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by User6045 ( talk • contribs) 18:34, 17 June 2019 (UTC) User6045 ( talk) 18:37, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

But i need the modern "icon" (to be named in an article) - for instance "icons of architecture", of media etc. - do you have a suggestion how i could get this managed?

I have created an article some time ago, and I was wondering when/how the ratings will change as I add more content (of good quality, of course).

New England Historic Genealogical Society is largely plagiarized from its website. It is very low on citations and reads as a bit verbose/flowery/promotional.
1. I was thinking revise/cite/revise (removing what I couldn't cite), but I would like to know how experienced Wikipedians would approach it.
2. Is it preferable to put a "citation needed" tag if I can't find something, or is it OK to remove the claim if I have made a good effort to find it?
3. Should claims about the site's popularity be taken from an independent source? Because I'm thinking it may just come from its website.
Thanks.--

Given a lack of media attention to the recent unrest in Sudan, I think the article's section on the year 2019 should be promoted to the front page current events.

Given a lack of media attention to the recent unrest in Sudan) is not a valid reason to post an item at ITN. In The News serves to provide rapid access to high quality articles which readers will be searching for as they are, well, in the news. It does not seek to right great wrongs, and has to be diplomatic regarding point of view. Now, as far as a nomination, you would need a well sourced standalone article for the unrest, rather than nominating Sudan as a whole - this article, perhaps.

Does 3RR rule affect Rollbackers? -- CptViraj ( 📧) 13:26, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
Dear Teahouse team, I am pleased to e-meet with you and be able to ask direct questions. I wrote an article about Zadig Abraha, former spokesperson and Minister of Media and Communication Delivery Unit to PM Minister Hailemariam Desalegn and PM Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia. I was under the impression that it'd be published online after 96 hours (needed for Wikipedia to do the necessary fact and notability checks etc before it's published). I see that it is not published. So I thought I'd ask you why you think that might be the case. I read about having to make ten edits. Does it mean I have to make ten edits to this same article or do you mean editing as in writing ten other articles of this kind before being acknowledged as a Wikipedia writer? I am sure I will write hundreds in the future, but at this time I am writing a dissertation, so I might not be able to write ten such researched articles right now.
I look forward to hearing from you. Best, ZeBiographer — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZeBiographer ( talk • contribs) 12:55, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
I read about having to make ten edits. Does it mean I have to make ten edits to this same article or do you mean editing as in writing ten other articles of this kind before being acknowledged as a Wikipedia writer?. It refers to making ten edits to any article - it doesn't mean creating new articles, just editing a few times to learn how the encyclopedia works, basically. Wikipedia editing is much more about improving, developing, and maintaining existing articles, than creating new ones, and as a new editor it's a good idea not to start creating brand new articles straight off, since that's one of the most difficult things to do here.

As the title says, how do I remove (citation needed) tags if the event in question is almost completely undocumented? I am currently editing Al Ahly SC and there is a (citation needed) tag, it is about the Sultan Hussein Cup and when they first participated in it. The competition itself stopped almost 100 years ago now, and some of the teams which participated in it where British military teams (when they occupied Egypt) and there is nothing about them anywhere. Al Ahly allegedly participated in 1918, and in that year even the runners up aren't known.
I really want this article to be one of the best, but I can't if there is no information about it in the whole world. Ammar Elbehery ( talk) 23:32, 16 June 2019 (UTC) ( edit conflict)
Hello. As a Delaware Native who proudly considers himself a Yankee, as well as the vast majority of Delawareans, I find it frustrating that my home states regional status changes what seems like every 6 months. Within the past few months, Delaware's regional classification has once again been altered to classify it as a south region state. However, neighboring Maryland, which doesn't go as far north as Delaware, goes further south, and actually borders a former Confederate State (Virginia) is classified as a Mid Atlantic State. In fact, Delaware's official webpage describes it as a State in the Northeast region of the United states. Also, the tags at the bottom of the Delaware Wikipedia page are listed as "Northeast"/"Mid Atlantic"-no mention of the South region. With all due respect, this makes Wikipedia look disjointed and sloppy.
Could I please get assistance with updating this page?
Thanks in advance,

Hi! I recently drafted an article on a healthcare company named W Medical Strategy Group.
Upon review, there were two suggested issues: 1. that the topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for companies and organizations 2. that the article contains content that is written like an advertisement
I've made some revisions in both the content and citations that would address the things mentioned above.
I am asking for feedback and recommendations on how I could better prove notability and stray from a promotional writing style. Please help! — Preceding unsigned comment added by User6045 ( talk • contribs) 18:34, 17 June 2019 (UTC) User6045 ( talk) 18:37, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
Hi, dear people, the term icon is unfortunately only mentioned in the article on it as a religious term. But i need the modern "icon" (to be named in an article) - for instance "icons of architecture", of media etc. - do you have a suggestion how i could get this managed? Would i first have to write an article on the modern use of the word "icon" and then have a disambiguation page? Would be much work for such a small detail? -- Gyanda ( talk) 18:54, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello. I know that every article on the mainspace is assigned a rating (Featured article, B-class, stub, etc.). I have created an article some time ago, and I was wondering when/how the ratings will change as I add more content (of good quality, of course). Do I need to request to have my article (re-)evaluated? Do users or bots constantly go around updating an article's class as the article changes? Thank you!

Hi -- I am inquiring about how to edit/update information on behalf of an individual I am working with.
Please also let me know if there are people who I can submit information to for updates.

New England Historic Genealogical Society is largely plagiarized from its website. It is very low on citations and reads as a bit verbose/flowery/promotional.
1. I was thinking revise/cite/revise (removing what I couldn't cite), but I would like to know how experienced Wikipedians would approach it.
2. Is it preferable to put a "citation needed" tag if I can't find something, or is it OK to remove the claim if I have made a good effort to find it?
3. Should claims about the site's popularity be taken from an independent source? Because I'm thinking it may just come from its website.
Thanks.--

Hi, this IP user User:118.136.114.253 seems on a solo mission to make all the food articles in South East Asia region to looks like it originated from Indonesia and remove anything that says otherwise. I am not sure where to go to report it or if an admin should intervene or not. There are a lot of articles in the contribution list and I cant look at them all to see if all of them are malicious editing. Help, please. Froswo ( talk) 22:20, 17 June 2019 (UTC)
Given a lack of media attention to the recent unrest in Sudan, I think the article's section on the year 2019 should be promoted to the front page current events. A military dictatorship is passing power to an undemocratic successor.and soldiers are firing on crowds. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudan I don't understand how to suggest this. From this page I gather Im supposed to insert some code but Im not sure where.

Given a lack of media attention to the recent unrest in Sudan) is not a valid reason to post an item at ITN. In The News serves to provide rapid access to high quality articles which readers will be searching for as they are, well, in the news. It does not seek to right great wrongs, and has to be diplomatic regarding point of view. Now, as far as a nomination, you would need a well sourced standalone article for the unrest, rather than nominating Sudan as a whole - this article, perhaps.

Hi...
Where should I go to format my article correctly? For example, when I go to Chef Michael Symon's wiki- everything has a title and is separated out by categories. Where is that template?
My content for the body is ready to go, I am hoping it gets approved this time... — Preceding unsigned comment added by ClevelandDante ( talk • contribs) 11:14, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Dear Teahouse team, I am pleased to e-meet with you and be able to ask direct questions. I wrote an article about Zadig Abraha, former spokesperson and Minister of Media and Communication Delivery Unit to PM Minister Hailemariam Desalegn and PM Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia. I was under the impression that it'd be published online after 96 hours (needed for Wikipedia to do the necessary fact and notability checks etc before it's published). I see that it is not published. So I thought I'd ask you why you think that might be the case. I read about having to make ten edits. Does it mean I have to make ten edits to this same article or do you mean editing as in writing ten other articles of this kind before being acknowledged as a Wikipedia writer? I am sure I will write hundreds in the future, but at this time I am writing a dissertation, so I might not be able to write ten such researched articles right now.
I look forward to hearing from you. Best, ZeBiographer — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZeBiographer ( talk • contribs) 12:55, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
I read about having to make ten edits. Does it mean I have to make ten edits to this same article or do you mean editing as in writing ten other articles of this kind before being acknowledged as a Wikipedia writer?. It refers to making ten edits to any article - it doesn't mean creating new articles, just editing a few times to learn how the encyclopedia works, basically. Wikipedia editing is much more about improving, developing, and maintaining existing articles, than creating new ones, and as a new editor it's a good idea not to start creating brand new articles straight off, since that's one of the most difficult things to do here.

I'm Federica Lollo, and I wrote an article about the NATO Defense College Foundation ( /info/en/?search=User:Federica_Lollo/sandbox). After a first review by the user "KVNG," my piece was rejected. As requested, I added in the secondary sources required for page verification. I would like to request a second review to see if the page can be published. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have created an academic profile and it was declined with the main issue being that my sources are unreliable. Can anyone please elaborate more?

Hello, yesterday I created a page that was deleted, but I really do not understand why, because I think it followed all the rules given above: Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted. Encyclopedic content must be verifiable. Work submitted to Wikipedia can be edited, used, and redistributed—by anyone—subject to certain terms and conditions.
And also I have seen pages like what I have created.
Is it possible that someone explains to me why was it deleted? thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rusudan Panozishvili ( talk • contribs) 13:56, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
I came across Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ring (programming language), and I'm a bit confused. There doesn't seem to be any consensus reached in the page, but it was closed as "keep", citing WP:SNOW, which doesn't seem to apply. Why was this? Merlin04 ( talk) 15:53, 18 June 2019 (UTC)
