Can you help me understand what “citations need to be fixed up” means for this article in Draft:
/info/en/?search=Draft:The_Prairie_School
The citations are more extensive than other similar private high schools in the area, examples include:
/info/en/?search=St._Catherine's_High_School_(Racine,_Wisconsin)
/info/en/?search=University_School_of_Milwaukee
/info/en/?search=Marquette_University_High_School

Thank you for any information to help point me in the right direction.

Hello. Just to be clear, I am not planning to post any personal information anytime soon; I'm just curious. Some time ago, when I was under 18, I posted some information about myself, including my full name, on my userpage. Not surprisingly, the edits were suppressed by Keilana to protect me, which I appreciate. However, I noticed that many Wikipedians post personal information about themselves on their userpage, and some even post their pictures. I was just curious why my edits were suppressed while other equally or more sensitive information were allowed. Is it because I was under 18 at that time? If so, how does an Oversight determine if someone is under 18 (assuming that they do not put their birth year on their username like me)? For example, now that I'm 18, can I post which college I will attend or photos of myself at Wikimania? Thank you! William2001( talk) 05:40, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

Hello great house! I have a 4 page article about my high school that is properly titled, formatted with embedded hyperlinks, images, tables, indentations and references, and saved as both a Microsoft Word and a PDF file. Please note that I have searched Wikipedia and the internet and have found no published article about my high school, hence the reason I was chosen by members of my high school alumni to create the informational article. How do I submit this article for review and publication? I am afraid that I will not have time to review and edit 10 random articles on Wikipedia prior to publishing my article but I'd like to add that, the article has been reviewed and approved for online publication by executive members of my high school alumni. Please help. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emman369 ( talk • contribs) 00:23, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

We would like to add a page called Ganeshism on Wikipedia.
Ganeshism is a distinctive art practice based on spiritual search, a system, a philosophy, an artistic movement (like Cubism, Realism, or even non artistic movements such as Darwinism and intellectualism). Unwilling to take 'ownership' of the work, the artist, Mahen Chanmugam, has lovingly shaped Ganeshism into a movement, with a purpose to communicate, through art, the symbolic character which gives the deep inner meanings to his many forms.
For over a quarter century, the art that is Ganeshism, has been a distinct practice, a patient study of Ganesha's iconography and symbolism. It has revolved around an ancient Vedic philosophy of self realization, expressed through an art form that is rich in symbolism. One that has far reaching cosmic significance.
Unfortunately, today, religion is often misunderstood. Most deities have been shorn of their philosophical significance and in most cases, reduced to mere superstition. Ganeshism, as an art form and movement, attempts to create an inward discussion, a debate, to instigate thought, to question and to meditate on the deep truths represented by the symbols. It aims to dispel the singular concept of the 'favour granting god' and focus instead, on the deity as a mirror to the soul, and on the search of the God within which is also present everywhere.
As the movement has been started some time ago, we have external links and articles for reference.
Could you please tell us if this is a notable subject for Wikipedia before we add the article?

Dear everyone,
Recently I have contributed my data about Coal power stations in Vietnam by using Visual Editor to List of power stations in Vietnam
Right now I have plans to upload data for other power stations (Hydropower, Gas) but I have some questions that I don't know how to deal with it for a better-contributed wiki page:
1. I have some notes for Coal data, I put it on the top of the table (You can see it directly when clicking the link). Should I put all these notes to the bottom of the page, next to References or? And if I put it to the bottom, how can I do that?
2. Coal data which I have contributed seems like it's too large, and for me, it should not be called List of power stations (because Coal data has units, not only power stations). Should I make another page called List of coal-fired power plants in Vietnam and link it to the page List of power stations in Vietnam? Or should I remain the page?? Or which name should I call?
Can anyone help me with my trouble?
Thank you in advance

1. The source endcoal.org for me is not advocating against the use of coal power. Their purpose is to minimize the impact of coal-fired thermal power on the environment. Oh wait out of topic. The question I wanna ask is: When I use endcoal.org for citation my notes about distinguishing between pre-permit, permitted, cancelled.... How should I use citation for it? Right now all these notes are cited with [4] and I think I will use it in the column "status" so how can I cite it properly, cleanly and also I can note those "permit" with more details? For example: If I use [4] for all the "pre-permit", "cancelled".... in column "status", How can I explain in more details the difference between them?
2. If I wanna do a new page called List of coal-fired power plants in Vietnam, how can I make the page "list of power stations in Vietnam" into a category page and put my new page to that category? For example like this: /info/en/?search=Category:Power_stations_in_Vietnam
Hello, call me Horkak, I wanted to write an article on the United States redistricting following the 2010 Census. It is certainly a well covered topic in political science, and there is a similar wikipedia page 2022 United States redistricting. I've done several edits to wikipedia pages, and think this is a big important topic to cover. I'm considering three titles: "The united States redistricting following the 2010 census", "2012 United States redistricting", and "Redistricting in the United States following the 2010 census". Some content is covered in the articles covering the 2010 United States Census, United States congressional apportionment, and redistricting but none go as in depth as I was hoping for. I think this is a good idea, do you agree? which of my chosen titles do you think is best, or do you think something else would be better? Any help is appreciated, thanks!

What's the etiquette when it comes to contributing to someone's else drafts? I recently came across a promising draft that last saw an edition 2 months ago. It has been rejected once already, and the creator didn't quite followed the reviewer guidance, opting for deleting the part that needed work instead of adjusting it. He then resubmitted the draft, which has been awaiting review since then.
Articles about drafts seem to vaguely imply editions are welcome, but there's nothing concrete. I took upon myself to recreate the deleted part accordingly to the guidance, also updating and expanding the draft contents. But now I think about it I wonder if I didn't commit any faux pas. Should I have waited for the draft get either published or rejected and deleted before contributing or recreating it? — Radnyr ( talk) 14:18, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

I am working on three rose cultivar drafts. I checked the rose cultivar category and found that most rose varieties have the name format Rosa 'XXX'. I plan to create article names following that format and create redirects with the common name of XXX rose (which I think most people will search on). When I created my first draft, the first word Rosa was not italicized.
How do I create an article name with a combination of an italicized first name and a second name surrounded single quotation marks? I hope that makes sense MauraWen ( talk) 20:44, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

{{
tdes}}
, for example ''Rosa'' {{tdes|Rock & Roll}}
which produces "Rosa Rock & Roll". The default formatting by {{
tdes}}
follows the
International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP), using a different font to mark out a selling name. It can be used to create plain text (e.g. by {{tdes|Rock & Roll|plain}}
, which creates "Rock & Roll", but does clarify to editors that it's not a cultivar name). The ICNCP use of a different font does, however, look odd to many editors when used in an article title, and, again as Plantdrew says, there's the issue of trademarking if a trade designation is used in an article title. The ICNCP forbids the use of trademarks as cultivar names, so these must always be available for free use. In summary, there's a complex trade-off between following the ICNCP, maintaining recognizability, and respecting intellectual property rights. It's a difficult issue, which perhaps needs wider discussion.

21:47, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[1]Susan Luery Artist/sculptor was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and attended the Maryland Institute College of Art. Her gift for sculpting was refined in Carrara, Italy. Susan's early work delved into romantic and mythological subjects and was soon recognized by private collectors. Her dramatic "Promethean Radiation" was presented to Prince Charles and Princess Diana on the occasion of their wedding in 1981. She has been sculpting everything from sports legends to ballerinas ever since. Her visually arresting figurative sculptures can be found in private, public and museum collections throughout the world. Today Susan is best known for such monumental works as "Babe's Dream", the 16-foot sculpture honoring George Herman "Babe" Ruth standing in front of Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland and considered to be one of the top ten monumental sports sculptures in the United States. "George Washington-Visionary" her monumental sculpture located at the historic site of Fort Cumberland is one of her other numerous public pieces included in the Smithsonian Museum Inventory of American Painting and Sculpture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SusanLuery ( talk • contribs) 21:34, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello,
My recent edit of the page entitled "truck simulator" was rejected. I explained the reasons for my edit to the Wiki editor who rejected the proposed change, but he / she responded that they did not understand what I was talking about.
The situation is as follows. If you type "car simulator" into Wiki, you will be directed to the "driving simulator" page that describes a wide range and variety of types of simulators for purposes of driver training and entertainment. However, if you type "truck simulator" into Wiki, you are directed exclusively to a page that describes truck simulator games for entertainment only.
The words car and truck are generic terms. The edit I proposed, that was rejected, was to inform Wiki readers that truck simulators for driver training also exist and to direct interested readers to the "driving simulator" page.
This is the first time that one of my proposed text edits to a wiki page has been rejected.
Please advise me on how to proceed.

hi,
I found this page /info/en/?search=Mycoplasma_laboratorium on a list of articles needing copyedit, and I thought I would try to sort it out. I believe I've improved it, but the original article had separated primary articles from popular press (which I don't know how to do) and then subsequent editors, including me, added a third set of references using the "cite" function. Could someone please explain to me how to deal with this situation? I've poked around for instructions but haven't found anything obvious. Many thanks. Logophile59 ( talk) 01:53, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

The main motivation for this is due to my own research lab, and our interest in his work. We are not collaborators, just simply aiming to spread knowledge to these new fields of medical science with this professor as one of the main drivers of these research areas.

Should I have waited for the draft get either published or rejected and deleted before contributing or recreating it? — Radnyr ( talk) 14:18, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
An article created in draftspace does not belong to the editor who created it, and any other user may edit, publish, redirect, merge or seek deletion of any draft.Good luck! Usedtobecool ✉️ ✨ 14:36, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi all, every time I edit the formula 1 race results somebody changes it. My comments are fair and accurate but it seems like truth isn’t always top priority at wiki. Is there a solution? Are you guys as frustrated as I am? It seems that I could say Neil Armstrong never walked on the moon as long as I keep deleting any changes my false comments would remain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doc02864 ( talk • contribs) 16:22, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I've created a draft article for an artist Michael de Courcy but now realize that there is a conflicting article in the main space with the same name Michael de Courcy (different person). Can someone help me to rename the draft article to Draft:Michael de Courcy (artist). Thank you! LorriBrown ( talk) 21:02, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
I am working on three rose cultivar drafts. I checked the rose cultivar category and found that most rose varieties have the name format Rosa 'XXX'. I plan to create article names following that format and create redirects with the common name of XXX rose (which I think most people will search on). When I created my first draft, the first word Rosa was not italicized.
How do I create an article name with a combination of an italicized first name and a second name surrounded single quotation marks? I hope that makes sense MauraWen ( talk) 20:44, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Rosa 'Ingrid Bergman' but

values are sometimes the same as the name, but sometimes not. This is probably related.@ AlanM1: I was planning on using single quotes, but I am no rose expert, just following the majority of rose article titles. I will let better heads decide. If I were choosing I would just call it Rock & Roll rose because that is how I think of rose names. MauraWen ( talk) 01:08, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
{{

, for example ''Rosa'' {{tdes|Rock & Roll}}
which produces "Rosa Rock & Roll". The default formatting by {{
tdes}}
follows the
International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants (ICNCP), using a different font to mark out a selling name. It can be used to create plain text (e.g. by {{tdes|Rock & Roll|plain}}
, which creates "Rock & Roll", but does clarify to editors that it's not a cultivar name). The ICNCP use of a different font does, however, look odd to many editors when used in an article title, and, again as Plantdrew says, there's the issue of trademarking if a trade designation is used in an article title. The ICNCP forbids the use of trademarks as cultivar names, so these must always be available for free use. In summary, there's a complex trade-off between following the ICNCP, maintaining recognizability, and respecting intellectual property rights. It's a difficult issue, which perhaps needs wider discussion.

21:47, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[1]Susan Luery Artist/sculptor was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and attended the Maryland Institute College of Art. Her gift for sculpting was refined in Carrara, Italy. Susan's early work delved into romantic and mythological subjects and was soon recognized by private collectors. Her dramatic "Promethean Radiation" was presented to Prince Charles and Princess Diana on the occasion of their wedding in 1981. She has been sculpting everything from sports legends to ballerinas ever since. Her visually arresting figurative sculptures can be found in private, public and museum collections throughout the world. Today Susan is best known for such monumental works as "Babe's Dream", the 16-foot sculpture honoring George Herman "Babe" Ruth standing in front of Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland and considered to be one of the top ten monumental sports sculptures in the United States. "George Washington-Visionary" her monumental sculpture located at the historic site of Fort Cumberland is one of her other numerous public pieces included in the Smithsonian Museum Inventory of American Painting and Sculpture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SusanLuery ( talk • contribs) 21:34, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello,
My recent edit of the page entitled "truck simulator" was rejected. I explained the reasons for my edit to the Wiki editor who rejected the proposed change, but he / she responded that they did not understand what I was talking about.
The situation is as follows. If you type "car simulator" into Wiki, you will be directed to the "driving simulator" page that describes a wide range and variety of types of simulators for purposes of driver training and entertainment. However, if you type "truck simulator" into Wiki, you are directed exclusively to a page that describes truck simulator games for entertainment only.
The words car and truck are generic terms. The edit I proposed, that was rejected, was to inform Wiki readers that truck simulators for driver training also exist and to direct interested readers to the "driving simulator" page.
This is the first time that one of my proposed text edits to a wiki page has been rejected.
Please advise me on how to proceed.

hi,
I found this page /info/en/?search=Mycoplasma_laboratorium on a list of articles needing copyedit, and I thought I would try to sort it out. I believe I've improved it, but the original article had separated primary articles from popular press (which I don't know how to do) and then subsequent editors, including me, added a third set of references using the "cite" function. Could someone please explain to me how to deal with this situation? I've poked around for instructions but haven't found anything obvious. Many thanks. Logophile59 ( talk) 01:53, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
Hello,
I wrote my first page ( /info/en/?search=Draft:Davey_G._Johnson) it is about a dead writer and his contributions.
It was rejected because "Wikipedia is not a memorial obituary database" I'd like to make it better and some actionable feedback would be welcomed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UNIT411 ( talk • contribs) 03:04, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
Hello!
My name is Napat, and I'm new to the Wikipedia editing scene. I read the page on notability, and I was wondering if writing about a professor at The University of Texas at Austin would be considered as notable. His research areas include:
The main motivation for this is due to my own research lab, and our interest in his work. We are not collaborators, just simply aiming to spread knowledge to these new fields of medical science with this professor as one of the main drivers of these research areas.
Thank you for your help!
Warm regards, Napat Dawkrajai — Preceding unsigned comment added by NapatDawkrajai ( talk • contribs) 23:51, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
