Hello, Wikipedians.
Are there any topics or articles that you think I am interested in? I’ve been bored and can’t find anything to edit on the encyclopaedia. Either I want to create a new article but it’s been covered by Wikipedia already. I do want to make my own articles though. Could cover new ground on the Simple English Wikipedia.
I would like some recommendations for articles to edut. My interests are listed below:
That’s all I can think of, to be exact.
Thanks. I appreciate the help. Now I’m going to leave the Teahouse to go to the WikiProject store. Just need to do some chit-chat.
After 30 minutes of chit-chat...

Dear All, because I am still a greehorn on wikipedi.en I should like to ask for advice in drafting an entry on my oncle, late Franz Gehrels who died end of 2018 at his home in Germany. My draft of the English CV was rejected because:
"This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people)."
However, in my view, the references given are published, reliable, independent and pertinent sources according to international scholarly standards (I am econmist, retired academic and for decades editor of a scholarly journal myself), namely:
* Hesse, Jan-Otmar (2010): Wirtschaft als Wissenschaft: die Volkswirtschaftslehre in der frühen Bundesrepublik [Economy as science: the economics in the early Federal Republic, in German]. Frankfurt: Campus, 2010, S. 170

[2] Best Article Award, Atlantic Economic Journal, December 2006
Hesse, Jan-Otmar (2010): Wirtschaft als Wissenschaft: die Volkswirtschaftslehre in der frühen Bundesrepublik. Frankfurt: Campus, 2010
In addition, the entry Franz Gehrels had been accepted already - in German language - last year on the German wikipedia website: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Gehrels
No offence meant, but I can't help thinking that the English and German wikipedia websites apply double standards.

Hello all, I have a question on articles about a song. There doesn't seem to be a standard way to add information about films in which a song appears on the article about that song. I've checked a few songs I know appeared in several movies, but could find no mention of that on their page. Are there good examples I missed, or a reason why that isn't done? It would be useful to de-orphan some articles about movies, if nothing else (looking at Blayqe on a Horse right now, an orphan with notable songs in its soundtrack). Cheers!

Hi there, I have been trying to update this page - /info/en/?search=The_Red_Sea_Diving_Resort - to correct the misinformation that the film is based on a book by Gad Shimron. That is not correct. The film was written and directed by Gideon Raff.
Below is the synopsis:
Inspired by remarkable true life rescue missions, THE RED SEA DIVING RESORT is the incredible story of a group of international agents and brave Ethiopians who in the early 80s used a deserted holiday retreat in Sudan as a front to smuggle thousands of refugees to Israel. The undercover team carrying out this mission is led by the charismatic Ari Kidron (Chris Evans) and courageous local Kabede Bimro (Michael Kenneth Williams). The prestigious cast also includes Haley Bennett, Alessandro Nivola, Michiel Huisman, Chris Chalk, Greg Kinnear and Ben Kingsley.

Google translated "He has saddled over 30 Group race winners..." by "Il a TRUQUE plus de 30 vainqueurs de courses de groupe...". Saddled means "sellé " not "truqué " what is a big problem for the reputation of this honorable working man. I don't know how to change this fact because it's not a Wikipedia translation. Please can you do something ?

Recently I have tried with some success to edit a wikipedia page, but the more I do, the more questions it raises:
1. I started editing a page which was so full of self promotion it was inaccurate and like an advert 2. The more I edit and correct ( without full training ) the more I feel that I am being awkward, even though I am correcting inaccuracies as best I can 3. I would like to move beyond editing one page, and venture out into Wikipedia, but first I want to learn how to do this properly
Are there courses, videos, online training or otherwise I would learn for free or even pay for?
I want to be sure that when I edit something or add content, I am doing it right, being fair, and adhering to all the rules

{{

|page=
parameter in the citation template empty, and then add the page numbers using the "rp" template. In the "References" section, you will see only one citation for the source, but in the body of the article you will see a
footnote marker for each time the source is cited followed by the page(s) being cited in parenthesis. In addition to this method, there is also another way to cite the same source multiple times using
shortened footnotes, but this way is a little tricky and might not be in accordance with
the already established citation style. --

If anyone is willing to fix the page, I'd be very grateful to know about it, you can just let me know right here. Thank you again. -OP
Dear hosts, I am around a month here and i know some basic things, but i want to ask a question. I am interested in writing articles very much (i started one- this). As i am Greek, i discovered that the most articles articles about Greek automobiles company are very small, like drafts. I would like to ask if i can make this articles drafts again to improve them, and if there is an other way to do this with not disturbing mainspace wiki.

As a beginner, last year I added text to 'Douglas Labalmondiere'.
Following comment on lack of references I have attempted to add one reference to the Kerry Evening post, as you can see. But it does not create a reference at the bottom.
What should I be doing? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarkGBarratt ( talk • contribs) 14:55, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
<ref>Kerry Evening Post 29th Sept 1847/<ref>
, whereas the correct version would be <ref>Kerry Evening Post 29th Sept 1847</ref>
(note the position of the slash at the end). Incidentally, I would suggest that you also try to include an article title and page number if possible.

Hi there, I have been trying to update this page - /info/en/?search=The_Red_Sea_Diving_Resort - to correct the misinformation that the film is based on a book by Gad Shimron. That is not correct. The film was written and directed by Gideon Raff.
Below is the synopsis:
Inspired by remarkable true life rescue missions, THE RED SEA DIVING RESORT is the incredible story of a group of international agents and brave Ethiopians who in the early 80s used a deserted holiday retreat in Sudan as a front to smuggle thousands of refugees to Israel. The undercover team carrying out this mission is led by the charismatic Ari Kidron (Chris Evans) and courageous local Kabede Bimro (Michael Kenneth Williams). The prestigious cast also includes Haley Bennett, Alessandro Nivola, Michiel Huisman, Chris Chalk, Greg Kinnear and Ben Kingsley.

I don't understand what a watchlist is. I assumed it would show revisions made by editors that occurred on a page I added to the watchlist. I have pages on my watchlist, but when I click on Watchlist near my user name, it never shows me any "changes to pages since I last visited them," but when I go to the history of the page, many changes have occurred. How is the watchlist supposed to be used? Thanks, -- Farm lenses ( talk) 23:17, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
I saw this page while on citation hunt and it appears to have a lot of problems. Not sure if majority of what is written is about article, what should I do? I was thinking to stub it and leave only parts with references even if they are a bit off topic? Aocdnw ( talk) 11:01, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
Hi. I tried to add a third-party source where it was needed. And, I obviously don't know what I am doing. Here is where I made the add.
"Soroptimist International (SI) is a worldwide volunteer service organization for women who work for peace, and in particular to improve the lives of women and girls, in local communities and throughout the world. Through its General (Category One) Consultative Status as a non-governmental organization at the United Nations, the organization seeks equality, peace, and international goodwill for women.[4][third-party source needed] </ref>{{[1]. Retrieved 20 July 2019}}</ref>"
Please educate me. Thanks, Gerryruth

Google translated "He has saddled over 30 Group race winners..." by "Il a TRUQUE plus de 30 vainqueurs de courses de groupe...". Saddled means "sellé " not "truqué " what is a big problem for the reputation of this honorable working man. I don't know how to change this fact because it's not a Wikipedia translation. Please can you do something ?
Apologies if this question elicits a collective groan, if I have not read a post somewhere. I could do with some help
Recently I have tried with some success to edit a wikipedia page, but the more I do, the more questions it raises:
1. I started editing a page which was so full of self promotion it was inaccurate and like an advert 2. The more I edit and correct ( without full training ) the more I feel that I am being awkward, even though I am correcting inaccuracies as best I can 3. I would like to move beyond editing one page, and venture out into Wikipedia, but first I want to learn how to do this properly
Are there courses, videos, online training or otherwise I would learn for free or even pay for?
I want to be sure that when I edit something or add content, I am doing it right, being fair, and adhering to all the rules

I am a descendant of Gen John Floyd of Georgia. In reading about the Battle of Autossee which he led, you have a link to a Virginia "cousin Floyd" named John B. Floyd. This John B. is the wrong man. Gen John Floyd of Georgia has no middle initial, and the John B. you site was only 7 years old at the time of the battle.
Here is the article on the Battle of Autossee with the incorrect link: /info/en/?search=Battle_of_Autossee
Here is the INCORRECT "John B. Floyd" where the Autossee link takes you: /info/en/?search=John_B._Floyd
Here is the CORRECT John Floyd who should be linked in the Autossee article: /info/en/?search=John_Floyd_(Georgia_politician)

I recently worked on the article Paul Kuhr but a couple of editors - Heavy Metal Archives and 24.13.12.120 (likely the same) - keep reverting all the edits without explanations. I've tried starting a conversation on the talk page and on Heavy Metal Archives's talk page, but without response. Are there other things I can do to understand the user's thoughts, or admins to contact to help resolve the dispute. Looking for a little direction. Thanks 9H48F ( talk) 14:13, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
Do I need to re-enter all the reference information, or is there a way to cross reference? Thanks much, Rabbit Vet ( talk) 17:37, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
{{
rp}}
template, added right after the citation. Thus, rp|437 between double curly brackets renders as ref: 437 , and you can then reuse that same ref to give, say, ref: 468 . Hope this is clear, but dont worry if not everything here makes sense immediately. Regards,

|page=
parameter in the citation template empty, and then add the page numbers using the "rp" template. In the "References" section, you will see only one citation for the source, but in the body of the article you will see a
footnote marker for each time the source is cited followed by the page(s) being cited in parenthesis. In addition to this method, there is also another way to cite the same source multiple times using
shortened footnotes, but this way is a little tricky and might not be in accordance with
the already established citation style. --
