Hi Edit support,
I am trying to build a Wikipedia page for Victoria Wyeth, I am receiving no benefit for my actions. I do not know Victoria but I do have her permission to proceed with this endeavor. My first submissions has ben denied approval on the grounds of notability and neutrality. I do believe that Victoria is sufficiently notable because she is an active part of the Wyeth legacy. Victoria is working to improve the public knowledge through her presentations.
But, when I try to develop a better submission to get over the notability question, I fall foul of the neutrality rule.
What can I do to correct or improve my submission?
Paul Paul7384 ( talk) 16:35, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
"Victoria Wyeth is an accomplished and passionate lecturer, traveling world wide, her audiences benefit from her unique perspective through her first hand experience combined with her extensive research. As the granddaughter of renowned artist Andrew Wyeth, she carries forward a legacy of creativity and talent. Additionally, being the great-granddaughter of the celebrated illustrator N.C. Wyeth and the niece of contemporary realist Jamie Wyeth, Victoria is an active part of a remarkable artistic dynasty. The daughter of Nicholas and Jane Wyeth. Her father, Nicholas, is a private art dealer, while her mother, Jane, is an art advisor with a background in art history."To put it simply and rather bluntly, it reads like a PR puff piece.
"an active part of the Wyeth legacy"is really not sufficient to justify an article about a person. All I see is that Victoria is active in giving lectures about her illustrious ancestors and relatives, but that she, herself, has not garnered much attention otherwise. In essence: Notability is not inherited.
"I do not know Victoria but I do have her permission to proceed with this endeavor."Firstly, if you've made some contact with her, it suggests you do in some way know her but, more importantly, we do not ever need the approval of any notable subject to create a Wikipedia article about them. We only use sources that are in the public domain to compile articles, so permission is never needed.

Hello Wikipedians,
File:Valtra N113 HT5 Forest.jpg
This image has the following text underneath:
The Wikimedia Foundation has received an e-mail confirming that the copyright holder has approved publication under the terms mentioned on this page. This correspondence has been reviewed by a Volunteer Response Team (VRT) member and stored in our permission archive. The correspondence is available to trusted volunteers as ticket #2015102610015282.
I would like to upload some good images to Wikipedia. Some I took myself and hold copyright that I can release. For other pictures, however, I would need to get the copyright holder to send the confirmation.
When copyright holder approves the publication:
There's been a handful of changes recently using The Athletic's paid fantasy football guide (ex. Ricky Pearsall) to cite full names, birth dates, and birth places. Is this allowed? I know we can cite paid publications, but these guides feel kind of commercial and are likely not accessible in the long term (and therefore, unarchivable). Any suggestions on what to do here? -- Engineerchange ( talk) 12:59, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
The following guidance seems contradictory.
But where an ellipsis is immediately followed by any of
. ? ! : ; , ) ] }
or by a closing quotation mark (single or double), use a non-breaking space before the ellipsis, and no space after it:Jones wrote: "These stories amaze me. The facts suffer so frightfully ..."
If the quotation is a single word or a sentence fragment, place the terminal punctuation outside the closing quotation mark. When quoting a full sentence, the end of which coincides with the end of the sentence containing it, place terminal punctuation inside the closing quotation mark.
- Miller wanted, he said, "to create something timeless".
- Miller said: "I wanted to create something timeless."
My guess is that MOS:ELLIPSES is not as clear as it could be. For example, perhaps it should be edited like this (or similar):
But where an ellipsis is immediately followed by any of
. ? ! : ; , ) ] }
or by a closing quotation mark (single or double), use a non-breaking space before the ellipsis, and no space after it:Jones wrote: "These stories amaze me. The facts suffer so frightfully ...".
(Note that the period ending the sentence should be placed outside the quotation mark; see MOS:LQ.)

I am not happy by the treatment of this website, I am sick and tired of abusive moderators destroying contributions and violating pages. I want a formal complaint against Pmffl Poppodoms ( talk) 20:16, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
Talk:ArkWeb has the context. 2 items of note here: there is currently only one English reference for this topic, and Poppodoms is trying to unilaterally control this article, even to the point of blanking it in protest. I admit I was too hasty in some of my edits earlier today, but I stand by the redirect, as explained on the talk page. - Pmffl ( talk) 21:11, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
I am speaking as an administrator here and have no opinion on whether or not
ArkWeb is notable. But I do want to advise both
Poppodoms and
Pmffl that your behavior regarding this matter is poor. Poppodoms, you came here with an inappropriate hot and heavy attitude. Your comment abusive moderators destroying contributions and violating pages
is overly aggressive and indicates a deep misunderstanding of how Wikipedia actually works. Contributions cannot be "destroyed" because they always remain in an article's edit history. The term "moderator" is not normally used on Wikipedia, and even if if you mean "administrator" instead, Pmffl is not an administrator. Pmffl, here and elsewhere, you have repeatedly stated that English language sources are required to establish the notability of a topic. This is false. It is perfectly OK to provide references to reliable sources in languages other than English on the English Wikipedia. If reliable sources are plentiful, then English language sources are preferable. For example, there is no need to add Italian language sources to
Abraham Lincoln because the English language coverage is massive. But if English language coverage is limited, then references to coverage in other languages is just fine. Both of you, do not discuss concepts or refer to policies that do not exist here. Base your statements only on actual policies, guidelines and behavioral norms here on English Wikipedia. This is a collaborative project and hurling unfounded accusations and assertions is not the way to operate.

Rather than labeling them as "incompetent" in the pejorative sense, we should ease them out of the Wikipedia community as graciously as possible, with their dignity intact.The specifics of the lack of competence need to be considered. People who do not speak English well often perceive the English Wikipedia as more influential or as the "master Wikipedia". These editors should be gently encouraged to edit the Wikipedia language version in the languages they speak fluently. Other editors are so firmly dedicated to their ideology or religion or other strongly held point of view that they have difficulty writing policy compliant content. We need to politely explain that writing from the Neutral point of view is a core content policy that is mandatory. Sometimes an editor simply will not accept the constructive feedback and persists with disruptive editing. In such cases, you need to provide convincing evidence to administrators, who can decide on the most appropriate restriction for the good of the encyclopedia. That may include page blocks, topic bans or sitewide blocks. Cullen328 ( talk) 07:19, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

Heya,
I'm a novice editor (as in not highly experienced, not the Wikipedia service award) that generally only makes the occasional tweak for various reasons, and I had a question about how much context to provide. On the Melina Abdullah article, it was mentioned that Dr. Abdullah has been selected as Dr. Cornel West's VP for the US 2024 election.
I had changed the line
In April 2024, independent presidential candidate Cornel West announced Abdullah as his running mate.
to
On April 10, 2024, independent, self-described, "non-Marxist socialist," U.S. 2024 presidential candidate Cornel West announced Abdullah as his running mate.
to add more context for unfamiliar readers, due to low media coverage of Dr. West, but most of the second half of the edit was removed. How much context is too much?
Should I put back U.S.
into the edit to specify which country's election it is, since it assumes an American reader? Is mentioning a candidate's political leaning too much information, since it can be found in the linked article?
Additionally, I've noticed that titles (Sir, Dr., Ph.D., etc.) are not generally used in articles. Why is this?
Basically, how do I structure my edits to provide more context without it being too much? Madamepestilence ( talk) 05:11, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Is there a template or tag or something that says "I'm going to restructure this article over a couple of edits, in a short period of time" or something along those lines? For editors who are, for instance, moving sections around and saving between edits in a semi-intermediate state. e.g. deleting a section, then merging the content across other sections, for instance.
I think I've seen something like this before but can't find it by searching. Thanks!

What is a Wikipedia script or gadget to show whether a Wikipedia user is an administrator next to the username? The administrator status is displayed automatically without any script on Russian Wikipedia by appending character A in parenthesis after the user name.
For example, see
[6]: in this example, the user Victoria (A) is an administrator (there is (A)
after the username Victoria), whereas the user Lumaca is not an administrator (no (A)
after the username Lumaca).
How to achieve the same in English Wikipedia? There is a gadget on English Wikipedia to strike out usernames that have been blocked, but not a gadget to show administrators. Please help. Maxim Masiutin ( talk) 10:15, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Hi Edit support,
I am trying to build a Wikipedia page for Victoria Wyeth, I am receiving no benefit for my actions. I do not know Victoria but I do have her permission to proceed with this endeavor. My first submissions has ben denied approval on the grounds of notability and neutrality. I do believe that Victoria is sufficiently notable because she is an active part of the Wyeth legacy. Victoria is working to improve the public knowledge through her presentations.
But, when I try to develop a better submission to get over the notability question, I fall foul of the neutrality rule.
What can I do to correct or improve my submission?
Paul Paul7384 ( talk) 16:35, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
"Victoria Wyeth is an accomplished and passionate lecturer, traveling world wide, her audiences benefit from her unique perspective through her first hand experience combined with her extensive research. As the granddaughter of renowned artist Andrew Wyeth, she carries forward a legacy of creativity and talent. Additionally, being the great-granddaughter of the celebrated illustrator N.C. Wyeth and the niece of contemporary realist Jamie Wyeth, Victoria is an active part of a remarkable artistic dynasty. The daughter of Nicholas and Jane Wyeth. Her father, Nicholas, is a private art dealer, while her mother, Jane, is an art advisor with a background in art history."To put it simply and rather bluntly, it reads like a PR puff piece.
"an active part of the Wyeth legacy"is really not sufficient to justify an article about a person. All I see is that Victoria is active in giving lectures about her illustrious ancestors and relatives, but that she, herself, has not garnered much attention otherwise. In essence: Notability is not inherited.
"I do not know Victoria but I do have her permission to proceed with this endeavor."Firstly, if you've made some contact with her, it suggests you do in some way know her but, more importantly, we do not ever need the approval of any notable subject to create a Wikipedia article about them. We only use sources that are in the public domain to compile articles, so permission is never needed.

Hello Wikipedians,
File:Valtra N113 HT5 Forest.jpg
This image has the following text underneath:
The Wikimedia Foundation has received an e-mail confirming that the copyright holder has approved publication under the terms mentioned on this page. This correspondence has been reviewed by a Volunteer Response Team (VRT) member and stored in our permission archive. The correspondence is available to trusted volunteers as ticket #2015102610015282.
I would like to upload some good images to Wikipedia. Some I took myself and hold copyright that I can release. For other pictures, however, I would need to get the copyright holder to send the confirmation.
When copyright holder approves the publication:
There's been a handful of changes recently using The Athletic's paid fantasy football guide (ex. Ricky Pearsall) to cite full names, birth dates, and birth places. Is this allowed? I know we can cite paid publications, but these guides feel kind of commercial and are likely not accessible in the long term (and therefore, unarchivable). Any suggestions on what to do here? -- Engineerchange ( talk) 12:59, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
The following guidance seems contradictory.
But where an ellipsis is immediately followed by any of
. ? ! : ; , ) ] }
or by a closing quotation mark (single or double), use a non-breaking space before the ellipsis, and no space after it:Jones wrote: "These stories amaze me. The facts suffer so frightfully ..."
If the quotation is a single word or a sentence fragment, place the terminal punctuation outside the closing quotation mark. When quoting a full sentence, the end of which coincides with the end of the sentence containing it, place terminal punctuation inside the closing quotation mark.
- Miller wanted, he said, "to create something timeless".
- Miller said: "I wanted to create something timeless."
My guess is that MOS:ELLIPSES is not as clear as it could be. For example, perhaps it should be edited like this (or similar):
But where an ellipsis is immediately followed by any of
. ? ! : ; , ) ] }
or by a closing quotation mark (single or double), use a non-breaking space before the ellipsis, and no space after it:Jones wrote: "These stories amaze me. The facts suffer so frightfully ...".
(Note that the period ending the sentence should be placed outside the quotation mark; see MOS:LQ.)

Talk:ArkWeb has the context. 2 items of note here: there is currently only one English reference for this topic, and Poppodoms is trying to unilaterally control this article, even to the point of blanking it in protest. I admit I was too hasty in some of my edits earlier today, but I stand by the redirect, as explained on the talk page. - Pmffl ( talk) 21:11, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
I am speaking as an administrator here and have no opinion on whether or not
ArkWeb is notable. But I do want to advise both
Poppodoms and
Pmffl that your behavior regarding this matter is poor. Poppodoms, you came here with an inappropriate hot and heavy attitude. Your comment abusive moderators destroying contributions and violating pages
is overly aggressive and indicates a deep misunderstanding of how Wikipedia actually works. Contributions cannot be "destroyed" because they always remain in an article's edit history. The term "moderator" is not normally used on Wikipedia, and even if if you mean "administrator" instead, Pmffl is not an administrator. Pmffl, here and elsewhere, you have repeatedly stated that English language sources are required to establish the notability of a topic. This is false. It is perfectly OK to provide references to reliable sources in languages other than English on the English Wikipedia. If reliable sources are plentiful, then English language sources are preferable. For example, there is no need to add Italian language sources to
Abraham Lincoln because the English language coverage is massive. But if English language coverage is limited, then references to coverage in other languages is just fine. Both of you, do not discuss concepts or refer to policies that do not exist here. Base your statements only on actual policies, guidelines and behavioral norms here on English Wikipedia. This is a collaborative project and hurling unfounded accusations and assertions is not the way to operate.

Rather than labeling them as "incompetent" in the pejorative sense, we should ease them out of the Wikipedia community as graciously as possible, with their dignity intact.The specifics of the lack of competence need to be considered. People who do not speak English well often perceive the English Wikipedia as more influential or as the "master Wikipedia". These editors should be gently encouraged to edit the Wikipedia language version in the languages they speak fluently. Other editors are so firmly dedicated to their ideology or religion or other strongly held point of view that they have difficulty writing policy compliant content. We need to politely explain that writing from the Neutral point of view is a core content policy that is mandatory. Sometimes an editor simply will not accept the constructive feedback and persists with disruptive editing. In such cases, you need to provide convincing evidence to administrators, who can decide on the most appropriate restriction for the good of the encyclopedia. That may include page blocks, topic bans or sitewide blocks. Cullen328 ( talk) 07:19, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

To revisit (again) the simple reason your addition to Spirulina (dietary supplement) was reverted: a single clinical trial doe not qualify for the requirements stated at WP:MEDRS. All the other journal references - from the DuckDuckGo search - are in vitro studies, which also do not meet WP:MEDRS. David notMD ( talk) 03:14, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

There is a Wikipedia page that lists the various mayors of the City of Richmond, CA. There are photos of some of the mayors along with the dates of their service. My father was one such mayor but he does not have a photo next to his name. If I provide the photo can someone insert it in the appropriate space?

Is there a rule against naming the (minor) children of a person in a biographical article if they do not have an article of their own? I don't believe there is considering the multiple high profile examples of it on wikipedia, but I am in a dispute regarding this. — THORNFIELD HALL ( Talk) 06:03, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
— Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 06:09, 17 April 2024 (UTC)This is generally interpreted by the community to include the removal of names of non-notable minors from articles about their notable family members, such as when a notable individual births or sires a non-notable minor. Notability is not presumed or inherited with extremely limited exception (such as heir to a throne or similar).
Names of family members who are not also notable public figures must be removed from an article if they are not properly sourced.RudolfRed ( talk) 06:13, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
In the article Mugaku Sogen, I'm trying to get the name in the category "disciples" to automatically show in the infobox without having to click on a thing that says "show", the way it works for other names in categories in that infobox like names in the category "teacher".

I have a question.
I have restored link rot on the loserfruit wikipedia page. The article for reference there that was used as a source for the statement that she had the 2nd largest following has been restored.
Problem is that the statement wich got quoted from in that article, was in their turn quoted from another site that is not a reliable source. It is also listed in that article as such that it was only a quote/info that came from the unreliable source "according to lineups.com".
What is the policy on using an article as a reference in this? Infrabel1 ( talk) 13:53, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

I had the idea to make a funny, “gag” Wikipedia page for my brother at his wedding for my Best Man speech. My idea is just to have people use their phones to find his Wikipedia “page” while doing the speech and have something they can look at for fun throughout the evening, with the page simply being deleted the day after. Can I get a moderator or admin to “sponsor” me to let me publish a temporary article - again, one that would simply be deleted the day after? Mstanley92 ( talk) 19:20, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Heya,
I'm a novice editor (as in not highly experienced, not the Wikipedia service award) that generally only makes the occasional tweak for various reasons, and I had a question about how much context to provide. On the Melina Abdullah article, it was mentioned that Dr. Abdullah has been selected as Dr. Cornel West's VP for the US 2024 election.
I had changed the line
In April 2024, independent presidential candidate Cornel West announced Abdullah as his running mate.
to
On April 10, 2024, independent, self-described, "non-Marxist socialist," U.S. 2024 presidential candidate Cornel West announced Abdullah as his running mate.
to add more context for unfamiliar readers, due to low media coverage of Dr. West, but most of the second half of the edit was removed. How much context is too much?
Should I put back U.S.
into the edit to specify which country's election it is, since it assumes an American reader? Is mentioning a candidate's political leaning too much information, since it can be found in the linked article?
Additionally, I've noticed that titles (Sir, Dr., Ph.D., etc.) are not generally used in articles. Why is this?
Basically, how do I structure my edits to provide more context without it being too much? Madamepestilence ( talk) 05:11, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Is there a template or tag or something that says "I'm going to restructure this article over a couple of edits, in a short period of time" or something along those lines? For editors who are, for instance, moving sections around and saving between edits in a semi-intermediate state. e.g. deleting a section, then merging the content across other sections, for instance.
I think I've seen something like this before but can't find it by searching. Thanks!

What is a Wikipedia script or gadget to show whether a Wikipedia user is an administrator next to the username? The administrator status is displayed automatically without any script on Russian Wikipedia by appending character A in parenthesis after the user name.
For example, see
[6]: in this example, the user Victoria (A) is an administrator (there is (A)
after the username Victoria), whereas the user Lumaca is not an administrator (no (A)
after the username Lumaca).
How to achieve the same in English Wikipedia? There is a gadget on English Wikipedia to strike out usernames that have been blocked, but not a gadget to show administrators. Please help. Maxim Masiutin ( talk) 10:15, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
I think this article Tone (linguistics) no longer belongs to the start-class rating because it has some reliable sources and is reasonably well-written with in-depth information. I wasn't sure how to re-rate it as a C-class or B-class (or if I have the permissions to do that at all). If someone else could confer on this topic, that would be much appreciated.

I am very new here and well, the thing is that I accidentally revealed my IP Address on an edit - so I've been trying to use the form to send an email to Oversight for suppressing said edit. However, I am unable to do so since I "cannot send email to other users on this wiki", which is the alert I get every time I submit the form. I have provided the email address and have allowed others to send me emails on my preferences. So, I really don't know what I'm supposed to do now. I wonder if it is because this is a new account?
