Neko Lexi, "tomorrow" is a relative concept that depends on which time zone you live in. Wikipedia is a worldwide project. "Today" for you could be "yesterday" or "tomorrow" for other editors in other parts of the world. Wikipedia, as a worldwide project, uses Coordinated Univeral Time or more specifically UTC+00:00, which is the time zone for the United Kingdom, Portugal, and many West African countries.

I was excited about a new page I created called Collision at Rainbow Bridge. However, another user redirected the page to Rainbow Bridge. I did not know at the time of creating the article that there had been a prior discussion about leaving this topic as a redirect. That discussion took place a couple weeks after the collision and when information was still changing.
Several months have passed since then, and I think that new developments and additional information have stabilized and that the topic is notable enough to warrant its own article. I had put in a lot of time and effort to gather reliable sources and create the page. Could someone please advise on how to initiate a new discussion about this redirect, such as where to do it? Should I open the discussion on the talk page of the redirect, and is there anything special I need to include in the message to ask for input?
I'd also like any thoughts on whether trying to reopen this will succeed and is worth doing.

Hi there. I've been working on the page Money Money 2020 for a little bit now, and I was trying to find a source for the claim that Roy Miles produced the music videos on the "Disease is Punishment" DVD so I could possibly remove the "claims need verification" disclaimer. From my research, there's only really two sources I can find; a Discogs listing [1] with the credit on the back, and an Amazon listing [2] with the same. I'm wondering if either or none of these are reliable sources? If not, I'm unsure how to verify this claim, even though I know it's true. Thank you! Beachweak ( talk) 15:39, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
I found a couple of misinformations on the Djong (ship) page, where they distorted the information from the source to change the narrative and present a false information, so i fact checked it through the source and found that the information was usually about Chinese but instead they used it to pass it off as Javanese descriptions, can i just edit it out or do i need a consensus? considering that other way of consensus lead to nowhere (as in, no one had or willing to fact check anything) Merzostin ( talk) 16:02, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

known for his soulful vocals, introspective lyrics, and captivating stage presence.Who says so? Why should any reader believe that? Is that the personal opinion of User:ShaneMatthews, or did a reliable music industry publication say that? If a reliable source said it, then put it in quotation marks and properly cite the source. If that is your personal opinion, leave it out. No original research is a core content policy that applies to the personal opinions, assessments and critical judgments of Wikipedia editors.

First, disclaimer: I requested protection for the page way back then(
diff1,
diff2) specifically as enforcement, because people were warring about the topic that I can't talk about, but I hadn't carefully read that I was supposed to have added the templates first.
Reasons for asking:
1. This is not the primary topic of the article, but it is the topic of both a section already in the article and a section people tried to add to the article.
2. There had been a discussion in the talk page that was started by an IP and had been responded by 1 non-extended-confirmed account (and 2 EC accounts), there also was an IP yesterday using insults.
I don't plan on answering questions, as this is already a restricted topic, if you feel this question by itself already violated the remedies then please feel free to revert it, but also please fix my mistake if it should have been templated, thanks.

hey guys,
I'm a newbie working on my first article but unfortunately just got rejected due to not having reliable sources.
I realise this is a very basic question but just wondering if there's a good way of figuring out what a reliable source is.
The person I am attempting to create a page on has appeared on TV programs and has a number of articles discussing her in respected newspapers. She has also published books. Is there any way of knowing what I can use from these sources?
Would it be valid criteria to discuss the subject purely as an author considering she has published many books?
Any help would be appreciated.

A set index article (or SIA) lists things only of one type, and is meant to provide not only navigation, but information as well, so you may add information about the family. Please make sure that anything you add is cited to a reliable source. The book published in 1914, and the website, may or may not be reliable sources depending on who published them, and in what circumstances. ColinFine ( talk) 10:39, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Is there a policy in place for selecting pull quotes to reflect critical consensus on a piece of media?
This came up in regard to a movie (Problemista - Wikipedia) but its something that will have an effect on NPOV for many, many articles.
It's common to have a section of an article summarizing the "reception" of a movie, book, or album -- and that section often consists of a handful of selected quotes from hopefully notable and representative critics. But it's quite easy to suggest a negative critical reception by selecting (as happened in this case) three negative quotes about a move that, in fact, received generally positive reviews.
Is there any established guideline for this? It seems like common sense, but it would be nice to have the support of a formal policy.

which means representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic.Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic both report that the film has generally positive reviews, and both are reliable sources as described at Wikipedia:Review aggregators. Accordingly, it is a violation of NPOV for an individual editor to add quotes from three negative reviews because that clearly skews the section in a non-neutral direction. I also posted this on the article talk page. Cullen328 ( talk) 00:43, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
Article in question
United States Navy Nuclear Propulsion
My EDIT In the early days of the Nuclear Power program (1960's) the Navy was accepting other ratings as long as they attended and passed the courses at the Navy Nuclear Power School and passed the operational experience at the various 'Hulls' such as S1-W for some submariners and A1W for the USS Enterprise. They accepted IC-men (Inter-ship Communications Technicians, BT's (Boiler techs). In one case they accepted an AT (Aviation Electronics Technician) as a reactor operator (RO) on the USS Enterprise. They refused to give the men a special 'Nuclear Rating' as it could possibly lead to problems in foreign ports of call.
How I know this - Personal Experience
I entered this information as it was missing from the Enlisted Ratings lists on your article. I don't know how to site a source as this was my field of endeavor in the Navy Nuclear Program from 1964-1971. I was the AT in question, serving as a Reactor Operator on the USS Enterprise (CVA(N)-65. The only proof I have are my various documents issued during my tenor and my DD-214 upon discharge. Admiral Rickover gave me permission to keep my Aviation Rating while serving as a Reactor Operator.
Thank you for any guidance you may have

MarkWHowe, your draft bears little resemblance to an actual encyclopedia article. We learn only that a person once lived and held the job title of "superindendent" on a railroad, which is a vague and broad job description. Coverage of this person in published reliable sources appears neglibible. We don't learn his birth and death dates, where he was born, how he was educated, what sort of work career he had before becoming a "superindendent", what job duties he had, what he accomplished on his job, or how reliable sources assessed his career. Those are the usual components of an encyclopedia article about a historical person. Cullen328 ( talk) 04:02, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
MarkWHowe You have added 9,800 words about IB Howe to your Sandbox as a proposed draft of an article about him - none of which can be accepted because none of it is referenced. To this effort and any other effort - including unreferenced content you added to existing articles (all reverted) - desist.

I am Nilpriyo. Probably start editing Wikipedia from 2020. I love Bengali and Hindi serials very much. I know almost everything about Bengali serials. So I have created the page of various serials by reliable source. I have mostly created Bengali serial pages. Especially Zee Bangla, Star Jalsha, Colors Bangla and Sun Bangla I have produced and edited almost all serials. Besides Star Plus, Colors TV, Zee TV I also like serials very much. .But I don't know much about the serials of these channels so I can't edit. Not only that I have also created pages for various actresses. If someone gave wrong information on Bangla Serial page, I would have removed it. I always used to edit the things I knew. One day there was a complaint that I was paid by the channel so I mostly made serial pages. This complaint was first made by someone called The Banner. Later after the salary complaint was settled he made another complaint that I am editing COl. Which I knew nothing about. Later after getting the link I understand about the matter. I am editing what I know so what is the relationship with COl here?? The Banner kept repeating that complaint after many persuasions. Even after the reliable source is added to the serial page I created, the intentional page votes for Delete. In the meantime, I wrote in favor of delete vote on the page I created, or I am promoting as a person from the Marketing Department. Now from The Banner another person named CNMall41 is saying in my name that I do Col Edit. Tell me how long will I tolerate these false accusations. Repeatedly such false allegations threatened my Edit. I am currently busy with my studies so I can't spend time on editing. So I don't know how long I have to endure such complaints. A few days ago I created this page called Astami. Where reliable sources are linked that pass WP:GNG coverage. It was drafted [ [3]] by him on the complaint of salary, Col.

@ 14 novembre: Please, keep questions and issues relevant to it.wiki limited to it.wiki. Do not "spam" here your own personal troubles on "foreign" projects others than en.wiki. That said, a good behaviour on another wiki is not a good reason for an unblock in your original local wiki. Especially when you keep inappropriate behaviours on it.wiki, such as continuous block escapes, trolling, and so on (last one: two days ago). The reasons for your indefinite block are far deeper than "improper edits" as you claim here. If you don't understand it, you have few or no chances for a successful appeal for unblock. Please, stop bothering en.wiki users and en.wiki admins with issues they are not related to at all (it.wiki is totally outside of their scope) and they're substantially not interested into. By the way, the simple fact that you are considering "en.wiki as a tool to re-enter it.wiki" just confirms that your understanding of the project, of its purposes and of its way of working is still far to be sound. And, last but not least, that you're starting behaving improperly also on en.wiki by starting this kind of useless discussions in service pages or talk pages of users not interested/not able to help you in any way on another wiki.-- Superspritz ( talk) 10:20, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I am considering creating a new Wikipedia page titled "Areas Designated for Installation of Onshore Wind in EU Countries" and would appreciate some guidance on its feasibility- The page would provide links to the pages containing information of areas sensitive to installation of wind turbines or areas designated for this purpose. which should be done to implement European Commission recommendation #3219 (p.16), dated 18th May 2022. Before I begin, I would like to understand the following: Is this topic notable enough for Wikipedia? Does this potential article overlap significantly with existing pages, such as those on renewable energy in Europe or specific onshore wind projects? Would this article be better suited as a standalone page or as an addition to one of the existing articles? Ilia Panov 2024 ( talk) 07:44, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

I've been using Wikipedia my whole life and its probably my favorite website. I always say its like zooming in on a fractal or something where you can always find more and more interesting stuff by digging deeper and deeper. You can never run out of cool things on Wikipedia.
Despite loving the site, I always considered it daunting to try to edit or contribute to it, given the standards I feel the writing is held to and the difficulty of writing subjectively. Recently I've seen a few articles just browsing that could definitely be improved in a straightforward and uncontroversial way, so I made an account to touch those up. So far I've made a contribution to a page about an archipelago in the arctic and described my changes in detail on the associated talk page. I've also raised an issue on a talk page for an article about slurs.
Before I make any more edits myself, I would appreciate if someone more experienced could look at my contributions so far and let me know if I'm doing anything incorrect before I make more contributions. I'm not even sure if this is the right place to ask for this kind of thing for instance, and I don't know when I should be raising issues on a talk page as opposed to just editing the page myself.
Thanks all, I love this website and I appreciate the work everyone does to make it what it is. I'm hoping to be a useful part of that soon. Cyrusabyrd ( talk) 12:12, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

I was excited about a new page I created called Collision at Rainbow Bridge. However, another user redirected the page to Rainbow Bridge. I did not know at the time of creating the article that there had been a prior discussion about leaving this topic as a redirect. That discussion took place a couple weeks after the collision and when information was still changing.
Several months have passed since then, and I think that new developments and additional information have stabilized and that the topic is notable enough to warrant its own article. I had put in a lot of time and effort to gather reliable sources and create the page. Could someone please advise on how to initiate a new discussion about this redirect, such as where to do it? Should I open the discussion on the talk page of the redirect, and is there anything special I need to include in the message to ask for input?
I'd also like any thoughts on whether trying to reopen this will succeed and is worth doing.

First, disclaimer: I requested protection for the page way back then(
diff1,
diff2) specifically as enforcement, because people were warring about the topic that I can't talk about, but I hadn't carefully read that I was supposed to have added the templates first.
Reasons for asking:
1. This is not the primary topic of the article, but it is the topic of both a section already in the article and a section people tried to add to the article.
2. There had been a discussion in the talk page that was started by an IP and had been responded by 1 non-extended-confirmed account (and 2 EC accounts), there also was an IP yesterday using insults.
I don't plan on answering questions, as this is already a restricted topic, if you feel this question by itself already violated the remedies then please feel free to revert it, but also please fix my mistake if it should have been templated, thanks.

Is there a policy in place for selecting pull quotes to reflect critical consensus on a piece of media?
This came up in regard to a movie (Problemista - Wikipedia) but its something that will have an effect on NPOV for many, many articles.
It's common to have a section of an article summarizing the "reception" of a movie, book, or album -- and that section often consists of a handful of selected quotes from hopefully notable and representative critics. But it's quite easy to suggest a negative critical reception by selecting (as happened in this case) three negative quotes about a move that, in fact, received generally positive reviews.
Is there any established guideline for this? It seems like common sense, but it would be nice to have the support of a formal policy.

which means representing fairly, proportionately, and, as far as possible, without editorial bias, all the significant views that have been published by reliable sources on a topic.Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic both report that the film has generally positive reviews, and both are reliable sources as described at Wikipedia:Review aggregators. Accordingly, it is a violation of NPOV for an individual editor to add quotes from three negative reviews because that clearly skews the section in a non-neutral direction. I also posted this on the article talk page. Cullen328 ( talk) 00:43, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
Article in question
United States Navy Nuclear Propulsion
My EDIT In the early days of the Nuclear Power program (1960's) the Navy was accepting other ratings as long as they attended and passed the courses at the Navy Nuclear Power School and passed the operational experience at the various 'Hulls' such as S1-W for some submariners and A1W for the USS Enterprise. They accepted IC-men (Inter-ship Communications Technicians, BT's (Boiler techs). In one case they accepted an AT (Aviation Electronics Technician) as a reactor operator (RO) on the USS Enterprise. They refused to give the men a special 'Nuclear Rating' as it could possibly lead to problems in foreign ports of call.
How I know this - Personal Experience
I entered this information as it was missing from the Enlisted Ratings lists on your article. I don't know how to site a source as this was my field of endeavor in the Navy Nuclear Program from 1964-1971. I was the AT in question, serving as a Reactor Operator on the USS Enterprise (CVA(N)-65. The only proof I have are my various documents issued during my tenor and my DD-214 upon discharge.

I understand we are a organization of volunteers.
I have waited years to be able to document a decade of railroad inovations and now that I am able I seem to be going in cirfcles. I have edited seemingly without issue. My primary addition seems to be mostly working but I get no feedback.
If I create a new entry should I wait for a repy or what?
Is there any way to repair errors?

I am MarkWHowe, I am publishing Isaac B Howe in my 'sandbox'. I have no idea if this is even seeable by anyone. 'sandbox' ???? MarkWHowe ( talk) 03:50, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
MarkWHowe, your draft bears little resemblance to an actual encyclopedia article. We learn only that a person once lived and held the job title of "superindendent" on a railroad, which is a vague and broad job description. Coverage of this person in published reliable sources appears neglibible. We don't learn his birth and death dates, where he was born, how he was educated, what sort of work career he had before becoming a "superindendent", what job duties he had, what he accomplished on his job, or how reliable sources assessed his career. Those are the usual components of an encyclopedia article about a historical person. Cullen328 ( talk) 04:02, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
MarkWHowe You have added 9,800 words about IB Howe to your Sandbox as a proposed draft of an article about him - none of which can be accepted because none of it is referenced. To this effort and any other effort - including unreferenced content you added to existing articles (all reverted) - desist. Only add content if you are able to add reliable source references at the same time. Howe's letters are not an acceptable reference. David notMD ( talk) 03:09, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

I am Nilpriyo. Probably start editing Wikipedia from 2020. I love Bengali and Hindi serials very much. I know almost everything about Bengali serials. So I have created the page of various serials by reliable source. I have mostly created Bengali serial pages. Especially Zee Bangla, Star Jalsha, Colors Bangla and Sun Bangla I have produced and edited almost all serials. Besides Star Plus, Colors TV, Zee TV I also like serials very much. .But I don't know much about the serials of these channels so I can't edit. Not only that I have also created pages for various actresses. If someone gave wrong information on Bangla Serial page, I would have removed it. I always used to edit the things I knew. One day there was a complaint that I was paid by the channel so I mostly made serial pages. This complaint was first made by someone called The Banner. Later after the salary complaint was settled he made another complaint that I am editing COl. Which I knew nothing about. Later after getting the link I understand about the matter. I am editing what I know so what is the relationship with COl here?? The Banner kept repeating that complaint after many persuasions. Even after the reliable source is added to the serial page I created, the intentional page votes for Delete. In the meantime, I wrote in favor of delete vote on the page I created, or I am promoting as a person from the Marketing Department. Now from The Banner another person named CNMall41 is saying in my name that I do Col Edit. Tell me how long will I tolerate these false accusations. Repeatedly such false allegations threatened my Edit. I am currently busy with my studies so I can't spend time on editing. So I don't know how long I have to endure such complaints. A few days ago I created this page called Astami. Where reliable sources are linked that pass WP:GNG coverage. It was drafted [ [3]] by him on the complaint of salary, Col. It would be great if someone could help me with this. Nilpriyo talk 12:19, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello all. I am turkmen. And from Turkmenistan. Where the social media, news media, in general the internet is very restricted. So it is nearly impossible to give sourcing on articles about famous people in Turkmenistan like musicians, artists and famous people. You may find sources about government officials but for ordinary famous people, it is impossible. Only information you can find is their own social network, YouTube channel bio, instagram bio maybe spotify's about artist page and etc. And I know you need reliable and independent sources to cite in the article page as a reference. But in my case to provide more content from Turkmenistan to Turkmen wikipedia and English wikipedia is so hard. My articles get removed because of unreliable sources and etc. What can I do to add more articles about my country's famous people and etc to wikipedia? Thanks in advance for your help.

@ 14 novembre: Please, keep questions and issues relevant to it.wiki limited to it.wiki. Do not "spam" here your own personal troubles on "foreign" projects others than en.wiki. That said, a good behaviour on another wiki is not a good reason for an unblock in your original local wiki. Especially when you keep inappropriate behaviours on it.wiki, such as continuous block escapes, trolling, and so on (last one: two days ago). The reasons for your indefinite block are far deeper than "improper edits" as you claim here. If you don't understand it, you have few or no chances for a successful appeal for unblock. Please, stop bothering en.wiki users and en.wiki admins with issues they are not related to at all (it.wiki is totally outside of their scope) and they're substantially not interested into. By the way, the simple fact that you are considering "en.wiki as a tool to re-enter it.wiki" just confirms that your understanding of the project, of its purposes and of its way of working is still far to be sound. And, last but not least, that you're starting behaving improperly also on en.wiki by starting this kind of useless discussions in service pages or talk pages of users not interested/not able to help you in any way on another wiki.-- Superspritz ( talk) 10:20, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I am considering creating a new Wikipedia page titled "Areas Designated for Installation of Onshore Wind in EU Countries" and would appreciate some guidance on its feasibility- The page would provide links to the pages containing information of areas sensitive to installation of wind turbines or areas designated for this purpose. which should be done to implement European Commission recommendation #3219 (p.16), dated 18th May 2022. Before I begin, I would like to understand the following: Is this topic notable enough for Wikipedia? Does this potential article overlap significantly with existing pages, such as those on renewable energy in Europe or specific onshore wind projects?

I've been using Wikipedia my whole life and its probably my favorite website. I always say its like zooming in on a fractal or something where you can always find more and more interesting stuff by digging deeper and deeper. You can never run out of cool things on Wikipedia.
Despite loving the site, I always considered it daunting to try to edit or contribute to it, given the standards I feel the writing is held to and the difficulty of writing subjectively. Recently I've seen a few articles just browsing that could definitely be improved in a straightforward and uncontroversial way, so I made an account to touch those up. So far I've made a contribution to a page about an archipelago in the arctic and described my changes in detail on the associated talk page. I've also raised an issue on a talk page for an article about slurs.
Before I make any more edits myself, I would appreciate if someone more experienced could look at my contributions so far and let me know if I'm doing anything incorrect before I make more contributions. I'm not even sure if this is the right place to ask for this kind of thing for instance, and I don't know when I should be raising issues on a talk page as opposed to just editing the page myself.
Thanks all, I love this website and I appreciate the work everyone does to make it what it is. I'm hoping to be a useful part of that soon. Cyrusabyrd ( talk) 12:12, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
