Up until now, Wikipedia has written about the band W.E.T. (Work Of Art, Eclipse, Talisman) in English, but now I can't find it. Only in German. What is the reason for this? 46.139.144.117 ( talk) 09:46, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Yes, that's right. Wikipedia doesn't deal with hypothetical future releases with nothing to be said about them - see WP:SPECULATION for more info. If a reliable source were to come out with a release date, a name or anything more concrete than that one band member is working on it, then something could be added to article. To say that an album will be released 2024 is pure speculation, as even the Facebook post above doesn't say that and its well known that creative endevours can be years in the making and even abandonded at any stage. -- D'n'B- t -- 17:48, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi,
My name is Yinka and I'm new to wiki and have been trying to make as much contributions as i can and so far it's pretty much going well. I made a wiki article on a really notable political figure in my country which i think will be so great to have on wiki because he is well known nationally here but has little media coverage as he is of the far more older generation. In a history class i attended he was talked about and i decided to gather all the resources/references i can and create a wiki article on this figure. the problem is wikipedia is asking for more reliable sources and i'm in between two mountains of abandoning an article which is legit due to minimal "reliable sources" i cited or keep trying.

I've been working on style edits in List of Cthulhu Mythos books As a reader unfamiliar with Cthulhu Mythos, the long quote at the beginning of Testaments of Carnamagos section https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=List_of_Cthulhu_Mythos_books&action=edit§ion=36 is much clearer than a lot of the other sections written from in-narrative perspective. Would this format be worthwhile to standardize across the article? Or maybe including a quote in each section would be too long in an already lengthy article?

I’m a more established editor, and this is a secondary account for the purpose of unpaid COI editing. This is my first draft for which I have a clear COI.
Unfortunately, the reviewer (with whom I have a fundamental disagreement on what sigcov for a company constitutes) is does not appear to be reachable, which means that the primary issue (excluding visual editor screw-ups, which I failed to check) of notability remains unaddressed. Could some (who preferably but not necessary speaks German) check the discussions on my talk page and on the draft, just to verify that at least the new sources are enough to get over the notability line?

I've been attempting to improve the Nonmetal article by editing its content on the historical discovery of nonmetals, such as hydrogen, carbon, and bromine. The context is that I'm trying to develop the article with a view to a (further) FAC nomination.
Recently, one editor has deleted all of this content, supported by another editor, on the grounds of irrelevance (eh?). It's now apparently up to me to achieve consensus for (re)inclusion of this disputed content per WP:ONUS. The content in question is here [1].
Really? This seems like a bizarre way to build encyclopedic content. The subject matter has been in the article since 2015. Through nine FAC nominations (2021–2024), there have been no objections or comments about its inclusion. The most recent content, was supported by five reliable sources. After nearly a decade, it is unlikely that this content has suddenly become non-notable. Removing such information could be seen as knowledge censorship, which contradicts Wikipedia's principles. Indeed, WP:FAC criterion 1b. is, "comprehensive: it neglects no major facts or details and places the subject in context".
I've suggested to the initiating editor that if they still feel so disposed, the most appropriate course of action would be to seek to obtain consensus for removal of the content via an RFC. My suggestion was ignored, the initiatng editor simply reverted the content that I had re-added.
At this time I'm not sure whether to seek the assistance of an Admin, or to consider another option.
I'm not a new editor; I've been editing since 2011 (ca. 28,100 edits), and have managed to get three technical articles to FAC standard, but have never experienced anything like this before. It's rather demoralising. Thank you. — Sandbh ( talk) 13:03, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

I live in Slovakia and I have been reading many of the edits made by other editors which have distinctly discriminatory and inaccurate information about some places that have cultural value in Slovakia. In particular, any mention of Slavic gods is accompanied by a reference to a single paper by Catholic activists claiming that there never were any Slavic gods. This is extremely problematic and offensive. Many of the churches and monasteries in Slovakia are established on known holy springs. Those churches supplanted much older pagan worship temples. This is well documented and known by most of the population. Please do not interject your beliefs in order to erase the beliefs of others. AntiDionysius, I am looking at you.

complete list of publicationsis not appropriate. It is excessive. A properly written Wikipedia biography is not a complete curriculum vitae.

I know articles about countries that speak English natively are supposed to use the "formal"/"official" spelling and grammar used in that country (such as British English, Australian English).

Hello, I am currently significantly expanding and improving the article Matthew Webb, but have some questions about the reliability of this book. The book is published by G. P. Putnam's Sons, but is not peer reviewed.
WP:Scholarship mentions that books should be vetted to be considered reliable, which is done by some reputable publishers. I have three questions:
Is there an online tool for checking the reputation of a publisher? If not, what is the best way to find out a publishers reputation.
If a publisher has not fact checked the book, is it considered unreliable, even with non-controversial topics?
If the source is determined to be reliable, are there any restrictions on how extensively it is used? There are a large amount of sources on Matthew Webb, but this is the only one that goes into detail in many areas of his life. Not using most of it would make the article much less comprehensive.

A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.Andamiro has to pass this test before an article about it can exist. Out of the four references in your draft so far, two are links to the company's website (not independent), and two are to user-generated content (a forum and Wikipedia itself, not reliable).

1 - Which sources have been deemed unreliable?
2 - He is one of the most notable video artists today in Canada. Why is he not considered notable?
Any feedback would be very much appreciated. Thank you! Aguilaosol ( talk) 14:59, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
The Wikipedia article titled "2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel" has a section in it that I believe to be vandalism. It reads:
"This article is about 2023 attacks on Israel from Gaza. For American attack on Afghanistan in 2001, see United States invasion of Afghanistan. For the war initiated by the attack, see Israel–Hamas war."
The bolded sentence is obviously not something that could be confused with the article's subject. Where can I report this to someone with WP:XC edit permissions? JohnR1Roberts ( talk) 16:19, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

There is consensus that Daily Kos should generally be avoided as a source, especially for controversial political topics where better sources are available. As an activism blog that publishes user-generated content with a progressive point of view, many editors consider Daily Kos to inappropriately blur news reporting and opinion.CommissarDoggo Talk? 17:45, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Henri Mercier and Edouard Mercier are easily confused, because Henri's first name is Edouard; he is known by his middle name, Henri.

Edouard Joseph Mercier has an accent over the "E" in the Wikipedia article, but not in the title of the article. Edouard Henri Mercier does not have an accent over the "E" in his article, and the title of the article does not use "Edouard." I don't know in which cases an accent is appropriate. Maurice Magnus ( talk) 23:47, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Not to be confused with," you can use the distinguish template. For example, you can insert the text
{{distinguish|Henri Mercier}}
on Edouard Mercier's Page and insert {{distinguish|Edouard Mercier}}
on Henri Mercier's page. Hope this helps.

Up until now, Wikipedia has written about the band W.E.T. (Work Of Art, Eclipse, Talisman) in English, but now I can't find it. Only in German. What is the reason for this? 46.139.144.117 ( talk) 09:46, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Yes, that's right. Wikipedia doesn't deal with hypothetical future releases with nothing to be said about them - see WP:SPECULATION for more info. If a reliable source were to come out with a release date, a name or anything more concrete than that one band member is working on it, then something could be added to article. To say that an album will be released 2024 is pure speculation, as even the Facebook post above doesn't say that and its well known that creative endevours can be years in the making and even abandonded at any stage. -- D'n'B- t -- 17:48, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi,
My name is Yinka and I'm new to wiki and have been trying to make as much contributions as i can and so far it's pretty much going well. I made a wiki article on a really notable political figure in my country which i think will be so great to have on wiki because he is well known nationally here but has little media coverage as he is of the far more older generation. In a history class i attended he was talked about and i decided to gather all the resources/references i can and create a wiki article on this figure. the problem is wikipedia is asking for more reliable sources and i'm in between two mountains of abandoning an article which is legit due to minimal "reliable sources" i cited or keep trying.

I’m a more established editor, and this is a secondary account for the purpose of unpaid COI editing. This is my first draft for which I have a clear COI.
Unfortunately, the reviewer (with whom I have a fundamental disagreement on what sigcov for a company constitutes) is does not appear to be reachable, which means that the primary issue (excluding visual editor screw-ups, which I failed to check) of notability remains unaddressed. Could some (who preferably but not necessary speaks German) check the discussions on my talk page and on the draft, just to verify that at least the new sources are enough to get over the notability line?

I've been attempting to improve the Nonmetal article by editing its content on the historical discovery of nonmetals, such as hydrogen, carbon, and bromine. The context is that I'm trying to develop the article with a view to a (further) FAC nomination.
Recently, one editor has deleted all of this content, supported by another editor, on the grounds of irrelevance (eh?). It's now apparently up to me to achieve consensus for (re)inclusion of this disputed content per WP:ONUS. The content in question is here [1].
Really? This seems like a bizarre way to build encyclopedic content. The subject matter has been in the article since 2015. Through nine FAC nominations (2021–2024), there have been no objections or comments about its inclusion. The most recent content, was supported by five reliable sources. After nearly a decade, it is unlikely that this content has suddenly become non-notable. Removing such information could be seen as knowledge censorship, which contradicts Wikipedia's principles. Indeed, WP:FAC criterion 1b. is, "comprehensive: it neglects no major facts or details and places the subject in context".
I've suggested to the initiating editor that if they still feel so disposed, the most appropriate course of action would be to seek to obtain consensus for removal of the content via an RFC. My suggestion was ignored, the initiatng editor simply reverted the content that I had re-added.
At this time I'm not sure whether to seek the assistance of an Admin, or to consider another option.
I'm not a new editor; I've been editing since 2011 (ca. 28,100 edits), and have managed to get three technical articles to FAC standard, but have never experienced anything like this before. It's rather demoralising. Thank you. — Sandbh ( talk) 13:03, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

I live in Slovakia and I have been reading many of the edits made by other editors which have distinctly discriminatory and inaccurate information about some places that have cultural value in Slovakia. In particular, any mention of Slavic gods is accompanied by a reference to a single paper by Catholic activists claiming that there never were any Slavic gods. This is extremely problematic and offensive. Many of the churches and monasteries in Slovakia are established on known holy springs. Those churches supplanted much older pagan worship temples. This is well documented and known by most of the population. Please do not interject your beliefs in order to erase the beliefs of others. AntiDionysius, I am looking at you.

complete list of publicationsis not appropriate. It is excessive. A properly written Wikipedia biography is not a complete curriculum vitae.

Hello, I am currently significantly expanding and improving the article Matthew Webb, but have some questions about the reliability of this book. The book is published by G. P. Putnam's Sons, but is not peer reviewed.
WP:Scholarship mentions that books should be vetted to be considered reliable, which is done by some reputable publishers. I have three questions:
Is there an online tool for checking the reputation of a publisher? If not, what is the best way to find out a publishers reputation.
If a publisher has not fact checked the book, is it considered unreliable, even with non-controversial topics?
If the source is determined to be reliable, are there any restrictions on how extensively it is used? There are a large amount of sources on Matthew Webb, but this is the only one that goes into detail in many areas of his life. Not using most of it would make the article much less comprehensive.

Hello,
I recently attempted to make a new Wikipedia page, but it was declined. I thought that my 8+ sources would have done the job, but I might've missed something along the way. Could someone help me out with the creation and/or explain to me what went wrong?
Thank you! Benjamin Arts ( talk) 21:15, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
I am attempting to create a draft article for "andamiro" ( https://www.andamiro.com/global/), as it is a red link on many dance-game related articles.
However, the article seems barren without a proper company logo beside it. I am unsure how to add this, due to the process of actually adding the image talking about sorts of "CCL"'s that i personally have no idea about. HyperNover ( talk) 23:48, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.Andamiro has to pass this test before an article about it can exist. Out of the four references in your draft so far, two are links to the company's website (not independent), and two are to user-generated content (a forum and Wikipedia itself, not reliable). You'll need to do more research to find better sources before your draft will pass a review. Bsoyka ( t • c • g) 00:23, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Hi, how do I go about conducting a discussion on the deletion of an image/video? I believe the slo-mo video on Withdrawal of Joe Biden from the 2024 United States presidential election is not needed and very unnecessary as to MOS:IMAGERELEVANCE. It is not used anywhere else, so I feel like it should be deleted. Would this be discussed on the talk page of the article or somewhere else? Coulomb1 ( talk) 00:55, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello, my name is Rosalyn, I am an employee at Klesch Group and wanted to reach out to the community for assistance around refreshing the A. Gary Klesch Wikipedia article. The article currently has two warning boxes for neutrality and referencing and I would like to work with neutral editors to ensure only well sourced information is used and the tone of the article is balanced.
As someone with a connection to Gary, I am keen not to make any changes unilaterally, but instead collaborate with neutral editors. I have left a recommendation for the article to be updated on the Talk page and wondered if anyone would be kind enough to review, share feedback and action?
Thank you! Rosalyn15 ( talk) 08:40, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello,
We are creating new wiki entries for several Canadian artist with the aim of bringing visibility and recognition to artists who, for some strange reason, do not have a wiki.
it has been stated that this wiki entry needs more reliable secondary sources, and also, that the subject is not meritory enough.
1 - Which sources have been deemed unreliable?
2 - He is one of the most notable video artists today in Canada. Why is he not considered notable?
Any feedback would be very much appreciated. Thank you! Aguilaosol ( talk) 14:59, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
The Wikipedia article titled "2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel" has a section in it that I believe to be vandalism. It reads:
"This article is about 2023 attacks on Israel from Gaza. For American attack on Afghanistan in 2001, see United States invasion of Afghanistan. For the war initiated by the attack, see Israel–Hamas war."
The bolded sentence is obviously not something that could be confused with the article's subject. Where can I report this to someone with WP:XC edit permissions? JohnR1Roberts ( talk) 16:19, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

Example is like I am planning on adding healthcare system on Maxine Waters' article on stating that she supports Medicare for all.

There is consensus that Daily Kos should generally be avoided as a source, especially for controversial political topics where better sources are available. As an activism blog that publishes user-generated content with a progressive point of view, many editors consider Daily Kos to inappropriately blur news reporting and opinion.CommissarDoggo Talk? 17:45, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm writing an article on an artist, Peter Stilton. I've put in text and short references. I've got an alphabetical Word list of the references with fuller information. How do I use it to create a full reference list at the end of my article?
Also: how do I insert photos of the paintings? Do I need to have each photo in a separate file? (I cannot copy and paste?) Thank you!! Evelyn

Henri Mercier and Edouard Mercier are easily confused, because Henri's first name is Edouard; he is known by his middle name, Henri. I could not meet the challenge of inserting "not to be confused with" at the top of each article. Is another editor up to it? Thanks. Maurice Magnus ( talk) 23:41, 23 July 2024 (UTC) P.S. Edouard Joseph Mercier has an accent over the "E" in the Wikipedia article, but not in the title of the article. Edouard Henri Mercier does not have an accent over the "E" in his article, and the title of the article does not use "Edouard." I don't know in which cases an accent is appropriate. Maurice Magnus ( talk) 23:47, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Not to be confused with," you can use the distinguish template. For example, you can insert the text
{{distinguish|Henri Mercier}}
on Edouard Mercier's Page and insert {{distinguish|Edouard Mercier}}
on Henri Mercier's page. Hope this helps.
