Hi,
Without using an external text editor, is there a way of enlarging font size in Wikipedia's text editor? It is getting more challenging to edit with the default font size. thx MauraWen ( talk) 12:17, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
.mw-editfont-monospace { font-size: 16px; }

your common.css seems to work. (You can change "16px" to whatever size you want.)

Hello, my name's Max. I'm having some trouble with successfully submitting a draft page for Wikipedia on the UK political opinion website 1828 ( /info/en/?search=Draft:1828_(website)). It has so far been declined twice due to insufficiently adequate referencing. The site is well-known, however, and due to the relatively recent birth of the political opinion and aggregator sites, I suspect that the draft is not being viewed in the correct context. I also have trouble seeing the differences in referencing quality with the similar Wikipedia page on CapX. Could anyone please help me sort out this referencing problem or even have a look at the draft page and tell me what I'm doing incorrectly? Maxbrunoyoung ( talk) 17:01, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm new to wikipedia editting and trying to understand copyright vs free content as it relates to newspaper and magazine articles. I see many wiki article references are press articles - newpapers, magazines, etc. However, most press companies typically have a general copyright policy for their content. Are the rules for press publications different than other publications, like books? When can press (magazine/newspaper) content be referenced, and when can't it?

"The Istro-Romanian language (Istro Romanian: Rumârește) is an Eastern Romance language, spoken in a few villages and hamlets in the peninsula of Istria in Croatia, as well as in diaspora, most notably in Italy, Sweden, Germany, Northern and Southern America, and Australia.
While its speakers call themselves Rumeri, Rumeni, they are also known as Vlachs, Rumunski, Ćići and Ćiribiri. The last two, used by ethnic Croats, originated as a disparaging nickname for the language, rather than its speakers.
Due to the fact that its speakers are estimated to be less than 500 (the "smallest ethnic group in Europe"), it is listed among languages that are "seriously endangered" in the UNESCO Red Book of Endangered Languages.[3]
It is also considered by some Romanian scholars as an idiosyncratic offshoot dialect of Romanian."

I wanted to have a wikipedia page on me so that people and children of my age group can get to know about me and get in contact with me for help in completing courses. I want the youth to be aware of the current global issues as they are the future. As a child, I realised that I need to take part in empowering others in order to make this world a better pace to live. I did not want to be the one who focuses only on academics but a person with practical knowledge and experience.

So I had a mosey around WP:Redirect and Help:Redirect, and I don't think I found a way to see all the pages which redirect to the article you're on/you enter into the query.
Does it exist? Am I blind? Did it exist at one point? Is it a special requirement or something?
(I ask, because an article I'm looking at is using a half-dozen bolded phrases in the middle of the body, and I'm trying to determine if they're left-overs from redirect/merges, or just poor formatting. I'll be likely cleaning them either-way, but was curious enough after poking around to ask.)

How can I add a picture to this short biography? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ed Spitzenberg ( talk • contribs) 22:33, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
I was doing some research into what makes a good article in WP:COMPANIES. Thankfully that page contained a very nice table listing all the articles and their classes. I found that SEGA was listed as a FA candidate, which IMO should be promoted to that level. However, when I looked at another feature article, Thatgamecompany what I thought makes an article a feature was a bit more muddied.
The biggest thing that threw me off was the lack of citation in the lead. This lead me to Wikipedia:When_to_cite, which helped... I definitely understand now that citation is not as important in the lead as it generally summarizes the content below. However, the second paragraph of the lead contains quite of bit of content which reads as opinion. Again, I now get that the lead covers what's to be expected, but I'm struggling to understand whether it's more important to cite opinion wherever it appears or leave the reader to find this out later (opinion is clearly identified as requiring citation Wikipedia:When_to_cite#When_a_source_is_needed).
So looking at the actual citations related to that content (in the philosophy section), I noticed that both came from fairly low-level industry sources gamesindustry.biz & gamasutra.com. Neither reference seems very important. Additionally, neither article actually had quotes from employees, unless you count their founder as speaking for all employees.
This may be coming across as argumentative, but I'm really trying to understand how to be a better writer on wikipedia, and don't see a 'clear' definition of feature-class article, when the quality between Sega article and thatgamecompany are objectively different. Could I get help understand what makes an article feature class, especially when it comes to the quality of references used, and what information should be pull from those.
I guess I'm asking in a way to pull Thatgamecompany as a feature article, because I don't think the references are up to snuff, and what is in those references mislead the reader with what is actually said. How do I go about requesting an article receive a demotion of class? Thank you very much in advance

Mulțumesc, dar Rumârește =/= Română. :( Dar pot să vorbesc amândoi :)
"The Istro-Romanian language (Istro Romanian: Rumârește) is an Eastern Romance language, spoken in a few villages and hamlets in the peninsula of Istria in Croatia, as well as in diaspora, most notably in Italy, Sweden, Germany, Northern and Southern America, and Australia.
While its speakers call themselves Rumeri, Rumeni, they are also known as Vlachs, Rumunski, Ćići and Ćiribiri. The last two, used by ethnic Croats, originated as a disparaging nickname for the language, rather than its speakers.
Due to the fact that its speakers are estimated to be less than 500 (the "smallest ethnic group in Europe"), it is listed among languages that are "seriously endangered" in the UNESCO Red Book of Endangered Languages.[3]
It is also considered by some Romanian scholars as an idiosyncratic offshoot dialect of Romanian."

Greetings!
I'm Parth Bhatt, a high school student and I have undertaken over 250 courses by organisations like United Nations, United States Institute of Peace and Peace Operations Training Institute, USA. I have several achievements of national and international level.
I wanted to have a wikipedia page on me so that people and children of my age group can get to know about me and get in contact with me for help in completing courses. I want the youth to be aware of the current global issues as they are the future. As a child, I realised that I need to take part in empowering others in order to make this world a better pace to live. I did not want to be the one who focuses only on academics but a person with practical knowledge and experience.
Most of my references and citations are offline. Can anyone please help me in making the article.
Thanking you with kind regards, Parth Bhatt — Preceding unsigned comment added by Parth239 ( talk • contribs) 14:58, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
Alright respecter sir/ma'am! Thanks for your valuable inputs!
Before you say anything, just know that I have over 2,500 edits, 50 articles created, and 2 years of experience. I'm not new.
Why was Belle Delphine deleted. I thought she was WP:N. I mean, she was my first human article, so I'm not exactly experienced in that field (I'm primarily in astronomy) so I'd like some feedback. Thanks! AdrianWikiEditor ( talk) 19:57, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello there, first off I apologize If I have done anything wrong, I am new to editing wikipedia. I am just curious if when I use Show Preview and I exit the page if I can recover the stuff I added into the preview? Thanks for reading
Under the search for "shipwrecks" listed by year, the flag for United Kingdom and British North America seem to be reversed.
For example see: /info/en/?search=List_of_shipwrecks_in_January_1841 (plus all other months and years). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.67.242.175 ( talk) 04:03, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
Hi,
I have created a draft, Association for Feminist Anthropology, which I want to establish as an article. When I do a name search, I am directed to the American Anthropological Association article. Can you help me remove the redirect so I can create the article? thanks MauraWen ( talk) 00:12, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
Is there any Wikipedia rule, or policy, that prohibits Editors from having "collaborative" conversations off-site regarding Wikipedia Articles, where collective decisions regarding the editing Articles are made, so that once off-site consensus is made, they are presented as a "united front" on the Talk page?

Dear Sir or Madame,
I am working for an NGO called Eurodiaconia based in Brussel. Since months we're trying to create a Wikipedia page but without success. I was wondering whether I could have some feedback on why our submissions were rejected and what needs to be improved in order to publish? Our first submission was rejected; we then updated it and sent it again for approval, please find the link below. I would really appreciate if you could let us know at what stage the review is. Thanks in advance!

I just saw an editor by the user name of Phil Bridger with this sort of writing "Be careful what you ask for" at the end of this talk page: [

I wonder if he is imposing a threat or merely bullying? Can I ask other editors and admin to take a look
and comment? Thanks.— Preceding

So I had a mosey around WP:Redirect and Help:Redirect, and I don't think I found a way to see all the pages which redirect to the article you're on/you enter into the query.
Does it exist? Am I blind? Did it exist at one point? Is it a special requirement or something?
(I ask, because an article I'm looking at is using a half-dozen bolded phrases in the middle of the body, and I'm trying to determine if they're left-overs from redirect/merges, or just poor formatting. I'll be likely cleaning them either-way, but was curious enough after poking around to ask.)
Thanks, and Cheers! Elfabet ( talk) 19:56, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
How can I add a picture to this short biography? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ed Spitzenberg ( talk • contribs) 22:33, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
I was doing some research into what makes a good article in WP:COMPANIES. Thankfully that page contained a very nice table listing all the articles and their classes. I found that SEGA was listed as a FA candidate, which IMO should be promoted to that level. However, when I looked at another feature article, Thatgamecompany what I thought makes an article a feature was a bit more muddied.
The biggest thing that threw me off was the lack of citation in the lead. This lead me to Wikipedia:When_to_cite, which helped... I definitely understand now that citation is not as important in the lead as it generally summarizes the content below. However, the second paragraph of the lead contains quite of bit of content which reads as opinion. Again, I now get that the lead covers what's to be expected, but I'm struggling to understand whether it's more important to cite opinion wherever it appears or leave the reader to find this out later (opinion is clearly identified as requiring citation Wikipedia:When_to_cite#When_a_source_is_needed).
So looking at the actual citations related to that content (in the philosophy section), I noticed that both came from fairly low-level industry sources gamesindustry.biz & gamasutra.com. Neither reference seems very important. Additionally, neither article actually had quotes from employees, unless you count their founder as speaking for all employees.
This may be coming across as argumentative, but I'm really trying to understand how to be a better writer on wikipedia, and don't see a 'clear' definition of feature-class article, when the quality between Sega article and thatgamecompany are objectively different. Could I get help understand what makes an article feature class, especially when it comes to the quality of references used, and what information should be pull from those.
I guess I'm asking in a way to pull Thatgamecompany as a feature article, because I don't think the references are up to snuff, and what is in those references mislead the reader with what is actually said. How do I go about requesting an article receive a demotion of class? Thank you very much in advance
