Hi,
I haven't begun writing the article yet, so I apologize that I can't give you a URL/page. I am doing research into a British media proprietor and have noticed that he's published an opinion piece in a publication he's the owner of. I'm worried that if I add that as a citation, it will be shot down. Is this ok or not? -- Choicom ( talk) 17:01, 5 May 2020 (UTC)-- Choicom ( talk) 16:58, 5 May 2020 (UTC) Choicom ( talk) 16:58, 5 May 2020 (UTC) Choicom ( talk) 17:01, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello everyone. I'd say I've been here for a bit and I'm pretty skilled at editing but one thing I've never quite gotten how to do is how to turn an article into a good article. I've read the pages about it such as WP:GA? but a full comprehension of what needs to be done really still eludes me. I wasn't sure where to ask but if someone could explain the idea to me that would be great. Thanks. Cogaidh ( talk) 16:50, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

How can I get editing authority on the Pocahontas article? There is some imprecise writing, such as the Wayne Newton claim to being a descendant of Pocahontas through her "son". The son that this claim refers to is not the documented son, Thomas Rolfe, but a separate oral tradition son whose existence is contested. The footnote (6) for this clause is linked to a source that does not even mention Wayne Newton. (For the record, the reference to Glenn Strange is not mentioned in this source either, but at least the "son" being referred to in his case is the same as the one in the source.)

Can an Editor at Wikipedia kindly help me as a retired 74 year old I am having so much difficulty submitting what I feel is a most interesting submission on my former airline Macedonian Aviation. I was exclusively the founder, owner and creator of this unique British airline. No one except myself have any copyrights of what I would like to submit below. To make a submission is so terribly difficult and any help you can give me would be so gratefully received. Thank you in anticipation. Roger Byron-Collins

MACEDONIAN AVIATION Requested submission below Early in 1972 the all British owned airline, Macedonian Aviation was formed to operate passenger and cargo charter flights. It started with the purchase of an 11 seat de Havilland Dove G-APZU from Lulsgate Air Services at Bristol airport. The airline was initially based at Luton airport operating under the AOC of McAlpine Aviation. Shortly afterwards Harry Chang, a pilot of the recently collapsed 'troop carrier' airline, Lloyds International approached the owner as he had available two contracts with Conoco and The Ford Motor Company. The first was to move offshore oil rig workers around North Sea ports and the second to convey spare parts for the recently introduced Ford Capri between Dagenham and Dusseldorf. With these contracts a loan was secured from Williams and Glyns Bank for Macedonian Aviation, a subsidiary of London based property company Macedonian Securities Ltd to expand their fleet and establish their first base at Southend airport. Harry Chang was appointed as chief pilot and with the Conoco and Ford Motor Company's contracts in place, Macedonian purchased the 'workhorse' of British Aircraft Corporation Filton - a Dakota DC3 G-AMPO c/n 33186 in 30 seat configuration. This aircraft was used to fly the engineers working on the Concorde production between Bristol, Filton and Toulouse. In the summer of that year an application was made to the Civil Aviation Committee to obtain their own AOC. The CAA chairman at the time was Lord Boyd-Carpenter and when it was granted he passed comment that "The applicant at only 26 years of age must be the youngest person in British aviation history to be awarded with an Air Operator's Certificate." On 8th August Dakota G-AMPO's first flight was a weekend inauguration trip to Amsterdam followed by a service check with Dan Air at Lasham and re sprayed at Eagle Air Services at Leavesden, as was the Dove. The Dakota crew underwent training with Dan Air at Lasham and it paid many visits to Gatwick and Southend during this period. Also in August 1972 Dove G-APZU went into service for passenger charters with several flights to Jersey, Amsterdam, Le Touquet, Hamburg, Copenhagen and Oslo. Unexpected publicity was achieved when a special charter for the Dove was undertaken between the 6th to 12th November 1972 when Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five were flown between their concerts in Paris, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Wembley. The following week the aircraft was chartered by Donny Osmond and The Osmonds for their UK tour. Dove G-APZU went into service for passenger charters from Southend in the October with several flights to Hamburg,Copenhagen and Oslo. However on 4th September 1972 Dakota G-AMPO undertook a very eventful trip. The airline owner's business partner was to marry an Indian diplomat's daughter at the All Saints Anglican Church in Beirut, Lebanon and a wedding party of 25 guests flew out on an MEA scheduled flight from Heathrow. After the marriage ceremony the wedding reception was held at the waterfront St George Hotel, owned by the airline owner's friend Fady el_Khoury, son of the Lebanese President. The following day Palestinian Terrorists murdered Israeli athletes at the Olympic games in Munich. On the 8th September 1972 the Israelis retaliated by attacking and besieging Beirut Airport which was closed and there were no scheduled flights to get the guests out of Lebanon. Harry Chang the head pilot was called from Beirut who said he would take the Dakota from Gatwick to extract the party and knowing the airport well advised the guests to remain on the beach by the airport which he would overfly and once he had landed the group were to run to the aircraft and they could embark. Some 12 hours later after refuelling at Genoa and Brindisi G-AMPO landed at Beirut airport escorted by Israeli military aircraft. The entire 25 wedding guests climbed over the perimeter fence and sprinted for the aircraft which did not shut down and it took off again within minutes for Nicosia Cyprus with the Israeli escort. Some of the wedding party continued their celebrations at The Dome Hotel in Kyrenia (before the island was divided). The wedding guests returned to the UK with Cyprus Airways and the crew and the owner returned in the Dakota 2 days later to Gatwick via Genoa. Later in September 1972 after completion of crew training G-AMPO returned to Southend to commence operations. On November 5th it took its first paying passengers to Amsterdam. The Dove G-APZU departed Southend on November 4th 1972 for a trip to Oslo Fornebu Norway for 4 days. Over the winter season the Dove operated a multitude of charter fights to Belgium, France, Germany and Holland. Finally the Dove G-APZU was sold to Shackleton Aviation in February 1973. By the spring 1973 G-AMPO was busy flying almost daily to Jersey, Ostend, Brussels and Saarbrucken. On May 3rd 1973 it flew a service to Groningen - Bergen - Birmingham - Brussels - Southend. By the summer that year the Dakota was working flat out on regular flights between Coventry - Jersey, Birmingham - Cologne, Southend - Castle Donnington - Stornoway. It also undertook many flights for Intra Airways. In November and December it was flying to Brussels, Calais, Cologne, Coventry Exeter, Geneva, Glasgow, Lisbon, Malta, Marseilles, Newcastle and Saarbrucken. During these months it was carrying various car components for the Ford Motor Company and transferring gold bullion for the UK Treasury to and from Germany, Belgium and France. In December 1973 Macedonian commenced oil rig support business for the first time and as a result the Dakota was then relocated to Aberdeen in connection with this contract. With this massive increase in work load Macedonian looked for more DC3s to buy and in March 1974 they purchased from Jersey, British Island Airway's last 3 Dakotas. The first 2 aircraft G-AMHJ c/n 13468 and G-AMRA c/n 26735 arrived at Southend March 8 1974. They were in a convertible cargo/passenger configuration and were moved to Aberdeen on April 27th 1974 for transportation of crews and equipment to Sumburgh on the Shetland Islands. Dakota G-AMPO arrived in Aberdeen also in April but was moved back to Southend that spring for services to Amsterdam, Belfast Gibraltar, Hamburg, Hurn, Heathrow, Le Havre ,Lisbon, Ostend, Rotterdam, Saarbrucken and Teeside. Then in September the third ex BIA DC3 G-AMSV c/n 32830 arrived at Southend. In April 1974 Macedonian Aviation acquired the former Dutch Limburg Airlines route from Rotterdam to Le Havre replacing their Fokker Friendships with Dakotas. During summer of 1974 the owner was hearing that the oil companies were going to insist on turboprop operations opened negotiations to acquire 3 Aer Lingus Viscounts and 6 Air Canada Viscounts or 3 Eastern Provincial Heralds. These negotiations were not successful and having appraised the cost of running a turboprop operation was sure would not be profitable so sold the entire Macedonian Aviation as a going concern. Following the sale on November 6th 1974 all the aircraft returned to Southend and the new owners were unable to raise finance to support turboprop operations by the end of the year they ceased all flying. The aircraft went to Humber Airways followed by Eastern Airways who operated the Heathrow - Norwich - Humberside scheduled service. Macedonian Aviation's fleet of 6 Aircraft: DH104 Dove 6 G-APZU (04511) Douglas Dakota G-AMPO (16437/33185), G-AMPZ (16124/32872), G-AMHJ (13468) G-AMRA (15290/26735), G-AMSV (16072/32830) |

Hi. I am a writer. I work in the Australian comedy industry. I am a newcomer to Wikipedia editing and would like to show that a subject I intend to create and, with the help of others in the industry, edit is important and noteworthy as an article. It is an article on a broadcaster, producer and promoter David - Dave - Taranto, who worked in Melbourne radio, recording and live comedy production in the nineteen nineties in Melbourne Australia. His work, which included running the Melbourne Comedy Festival, occurred at a time before comedy in Australia became a more organised professional industry. However, his work is notable as he was active in establishing the organisations that exist today. He was hands on in creating comedy management. As he had such a big impact on Australia's comedy industry I believe an article on Taranto would be very important contribution to the history of comedy in Melbourne and Australia. Can you help me?

I've had my first article Bailey Doogan accepted and posted. Now I'm trying to insert three images of the artist's work. They meet the fair-use criteria. I actually received the files from the artist and have her permission to use them. I just can't seem to technically get the files inserted. When I used the Wikipedia upload function, it wouldn't accept the upload because I couldn't find a fair use category that the program would accept. I found the "Non-free 2D art" template that other artist articles have used, and I filled it out, but it loaded directly into my article. It should be part of a larger attachment that is linked to the inserted image. I'm running out of options. Does anyone know how to access the form that comes up when you click on an inserted image and then click on the "More Details" button?

Which references are okay to use for history articles? If I'm writing about a sixteenth century topic, is it okay to use nineteenth century sources? There are many websites that combine information from various origins. Some of them come from major organizations, such as government institutions, while others do not. What qualifies a source to be reliable enough for describing a historical topic, and what are the optimal proportions of each type of source to be used on Wikipedia.

Hi tea house
My draft submission was recently rejected by Sulfurboy stating sourced with a press release. I asked him several times on his talk page ( here) to point to even one reference that he believes looks like a PR but he did not answer any of my questions and closed the discussion. I had reworked on overall sourcing and made significant changes that removed promotional content and non-reliable sources. I had only included sources that were secondary, reliable, and discussed the topic in detail. I doubt if he even cared to check the sources before taking his actions. He also removed all of my edits. What do I do to fix this issue? thanks in advance. 2405:204:288:6273:5E02:A7FA:C95F:2FA1 ( talk) 19:11, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
@ Bonadea: @ David notMD: Thanks for taking out the time to review Draft:Pepperfry but the draft you're seeing right now is the old one which was declined back in March 2020, where the reviewer left a message saying This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. I have since reworked on overall sourcing, added more sources from leading publications and removed references that did sound like a PR. I did another draft submission in May 2020 but the reviewer, Sulfurboy, removed all of my edits that left the page the why it looks right now. You can also check out the page history to verify the same. I would appreciate feedback as to what I should do to fix this. 2405:204:288:6273:E71F:AECE:31C0:ABDF ( talk) 18:49, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello! I was starting the edition of my article that got rejected and when I google some stuff... The EXACT info I was writing was already published in WIKITIA. I´m new and I don't know how is that possible or what is the difference between Wikipedia and wikitia.. So I send my article, got back the article with the rejection and some changes (made by the reviewer I guess??)... and that version was the one that was published (I hope I explained myself).
The publication was made on May 3 and I´ve been working in this for weeks, someone took my info? is that possible?

I am coming across different recommendations in Wikipedia for new article creation with a COI. Which should I follow? I am reading the guidelines on how to request to have an article created for the company I work for (COI), but am coming across different recommendations in Wikipedia. Which should I follow? On /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation - it says it is intended for editors who should not (e.g. people with a conflict of interest), create new articles directly into mainspace.
Yet, /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Best_practices_for_editors_with_close_associations , under section "Don't create new articles", says to go the 'Request' route
On /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest, under section "COI editing" it says "you should put new articles through the Articles for Creation (AfC) process instead of creating them directly;"
Yet /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations#Do_I_have_to_disclose_my_relationship_with_my_organization?, under section "I think my organization deserves an article on Wikipedia but none exists. What can I do?" it says the 'Request route.

Hello, TeaHouse. Just need a little clarity on how long it takes for a created page to appear on a 'google search'. For instance, United States School Garden Army, Ikorodu Bois, Ahmed Khan have all been created for about three days or more, but not 'searchable' on google.

Requesting advice from any uninvolved editor who knows how to handle discussions from sensitive areas like Indian politics and communal riots.
There is a discussion at
Talk:2020 Delhi riots#Confused to remove the “in the Indian capital's deadliest Hindu-Muslim riot since 1950” in the lead of the article. I opposed removing the phrase due to the fact that 30% of the deceased were Hindus (as per the infobox), but other participants were citing verifiability and original research policies and saying that almost no source calls it a Hindu-Muslim riot, and that the death toll doesn’t account for those who were left in the drains to die (if there is evidence that there are some missing victims, then why keep a possibly fudged up death toll?). However, I found four reliable sources, two of which have an international presence, calling it as “Hindu-Muslim clashes”.
Sources which have termed the riots as “Hindu-Muslim”:
Here, Reuters, Associated Press and NYT did note that both Hindus and Muslims had resorted to violence (though they focused on the Hindus committing the majority of crimes). So, is the fact that these sources call it a Hindu-Muslim clash enough to leave the phrase in the article? RedBulbBlueBlood9911 ( talk) 11:39, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
I need advice on how to not appear to be promoting a [non-commercial] novel which I am, in fact, in a way promoting: /info/en/?search=Draft:My_Blog_Is_Up_For_Grabs I failed to add a COI tag at the outset only because I didn't know about such things which I hope I have now corrected. (Not sure if I added that correctly.) I believe the Persian author of the book is sufficiently notable in that he is now up for the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen Award (it's the "Nobel" in the realm of international children's literature) and the author has also won prestigious prizes in his home country, Iran. Obviously, his works are not very accessible to non-Persian readers so that is why I translated this novel into English and put it in the public domain for free. This novel has so far gone into 3 printings in Iran (that's considered a lot there) but the English translation is likely only going to be of interest to a small niche group. So how can I bring the translation to people's attention other than "promoting" it? My article was rejected for "promoting" but I honestly must ask, aren't pretty much all new books and film articles on Wikipedia not written by those connected with them? I'm stuck as to how to get my article accepted and any tips would be appreciated. MrConnieGenius ( talk) 06:36, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello,
I am looking to draft and have vetted a biographical page for Mary Woolley, President and CEO of Research!America.
It has come to my attention that she had a page previously, but it was retracted for reasons I am unaware of. I want to learn the steps I can take to remedy this situation and produce an objective, non promotional and nonpartisan account of Mary Woolley's life.
There is another woman with the same name that has Wikipedia page Mary Emma Woolley. I am not looking to change that page at all. Without a red link to start a page for Research!America's Mary, where would I begin? Importantly, how can I have my content vetted by a Wikipedia admin, so that the information can remain compliant and published?
Thanks in advance for assistance that can be offered on this. Markvoneisen ( talk) 13:02, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
Thanks to everyone for offering direction here. I do indeed have a conflict of interest in that I work for her organization. However, this effort is part an initiative to heighten organizational transparency on multiple fronts — with a goal that is the opposite of increasing subjectivity. Given my brief research, Woolley certainly meets the criteria for notability. Unless this task should be the sole prerogative of an external editor(s), I am able and willing to curate a draft and submit to editors for vetting. Thanks for the assistance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Markvoneisen ( talk • contribs) 17:26, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Some examples of appropriately editing others' comments are: [...] Removing or striking through comments made by blocked sock puppets of users editing in violation of a block or ban. Comments made by a sock with no replies may simply be removed with an appropriate edit summary. If comments are part of an active discussion, they should be struck instead of removed, along with a short explanation following the stricken text or at the bottom of the thread. There is not typically a need to strike comments in discussions that have been closed or archived.

And how the info generated box is made on wiki page Preetikasingh ( talk) 03:11, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi Preetikasingh. While you may want to create a separate article about this subject, it may not be the best thing do from a Wikipedia standpoint, at least not at the current moment. It might actually be better for Wikipedia’s readers to expand the existing article about Lakhahi to include information about it prior to 1947. Then, perhaps at some later date, as more and more content is added about that particular period, the article could be WP:SPLIT into two articles.
My suggestion to you is to ask about this at WT:INDIA and see what the members of that WikiProject think about your draft. They might be able to help you bring in up to Wikipedia’s standards for articles or figure out a way to incorporate content from your draft into the existing article about Lakhali. If you try and the draft to the article namespace in its current state, there’s a good chance that someone will either nominate it for deletion, or they might redirect it to or merge it into the article about Lakhali. Trying asking for help and Wikipedia:WikiProject India and see what its members have to have. — Marchjuly ( talk) 11:02, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

There is a page now called White Ethnic [9] which discusses a very poorly and conflictingly defined concept. The premise is that anyone who immigrated to the USA from outside of Britain and is not part of the Anglican Church is a “white ethnic.” The supposed history is the oppression and abuse of the white ethnic people, who are suggested to have a singular culture despite differing religions, nationalities, spoken languages, etc. They are also meant to be distinct by their socioeconomic class amongst the working classes, being oppressed then by the “ruling class” of wealthy Britons.
However, they do not once mention the Anglican Church in this article, as I assume the authors don’t know what they’re saying very well. They also list politicians from upper middle class backgrounds in their “white ethnic” group for the article. These were certainly not working class men. You can see the bungled attempt to make sense of their nonsense in the article with their chosen sources for yourselves...
Unfortunately, in addition to being wholly not encyclopedic, misusing many terms (which I have tried to address repeatedly) and lacking in any consistency or logical basis, this is actually an invented concept tied to the white supremacy movement. I think it should be taken down for those many reasons. [1] [2]

A lot of your references are useless and should be deleted. For example, current #10 and #11 are newspaper articles about specific diseases, in which Monto gets a one-line mention. Only cite published information which is about him. Basically, delete all the weak refs, all the content resting on those weak refs, and see if what you have left can be an article.

Hello, my draft on Draft:Scantrust was declined for lack of notability. However, based on my understanding on the assessment of notability for corporations described in ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies), there is a number of sources in the article which I believe contribute to establishing notability.
I have included at least 5 different articles which are exclusively about Scantrust, and were published in the most read newspapers in Switzerland (e.g. 20 Minuten, Le Temps, 24 Heures, L'Impartial/L'express, HandelsZeitung). A list of the top newspapers in Switzerland can be found here: https://www.4imn.com/ch/
Some of these sources are in French and some are in German, as Scantrust is a corporation based in Switzerland. Can these sources count towards notability? If they do not count, I would like to understand the reasons. And if they do count, then can the notability of the article be re-assessed by other reviewers?

This article should only contain notable YouTube personalities who have been discussed in reliable sources and already have their own Wikipedia article. Entries without a Wikipedia article will be removed.So the first thing to do for someone to be included on that list is that there must be a separate article about that person. Please read Your First Article and our general notability guideline to better understand what that implies. There must be multiple independent professionally published reliable sources, each of which discusses the person in some detail, before an article can be validly created. Most Youtubers, even ones with large numbers of viewers, will not qualify.

Greetings hosts, I know there are lot of ways to include graphs in Wikipedia. I have certainly used some of them. Some times ago, I have came across a line chart where the data for the chart is taken from a separate commons file with extension .tab (I think). Obviously this chart uses lots of data, that's why it's created that way. Now, I am in need to use this kind of graph for an article. If someone can point me in the direction to find any of this type of charts. It will be very helpful. I know this is a vague question. But still, I am looking for an answer. - Timbaa -> ping me 13:29, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

These words of mine do not intend to offend or complain about anyone. I am new to Wikipedia and recently I had an article of mine in Portuguese properly published (after being reviewed by an editor). I am an academic and the subject is serious and important. However, I did an article on the same topic, but in English, since there are a huge number of researchers who do not speak or read Portuguese, but who are interested in the topic. I requested publication (by pressing the "publish" button) and hoped to get feedback from an editor (at the same time that I would make corrections or add sources to the text). However, my article appeared classified as "draft", which I I thought it was temporary. However, it has been classified as a "draft" for some time and no communication has been made with me so far. I would like to know what the next step is. After the article is published, corrections are much simpler to make (such as, for example, indexing a word with another Wikipedia article, but in another language).

I've seen many URLs in Wikipedia that point to HTTP version of websites that redirect to the HTTPS version or even worse: serve the same content regardless of the protocol. So I was thinking on doing a Wikipedia bot to update every link if possible. To do that, comparing that the content is the same in the HTTP and the HTTPS version would be enough. However, most of the sites I visit have some dynamic fields that change every time (ids, file hashes, dates, visitor counters...), so I was thinking on doing something like this:
This would help to have a safer web. Obviously this won't update pages that make a heavy use of JavaScript unless we use some browser automation such as Selenium.

Moreover, the article includes traces of trolling, particularly the links to the page on the Russian social media site "V kontakte" (VK) "vygo_bubble" ( https://vk.com/vygo_bubble ) filled with obscenities and offensives in Vygotsky's address.

The whole document is currently of undetermined length (I just haven't asked how long it is) and was written by an external company to the outside source.

I am currently watching (and improving when I have the time) 29 articles relating to Nokia’s Android smartphones (thank goodness edits are not very common in those articles). But I’ve noticed that three editors, all of whom have a history of uploading copyrighted stuff as “Own Work” (I checked on nokia.com and all their images are copyrighted by HMD Global, which runs the mobile phone business) have uploaded a total of 7 copyrighted images (some without any modifications, some with a white background) in the last two months. The first two editors’ images have been deleted, but given how often random people are adding copyrighted images, I’d like to know if there is a way to stop people from adding images to the article, without interfering with other editors’ work (especially since almost no one else has been causing any trouble on these articles). If there is no way, does this disruptive editing (or vandalism, if deliberate copyvios count as vandalism) warrant putting the pages under the pending changes review system?

This is a type of dispute that is common in the music area. In some of the general areas, there are said to inclusionist and deletionist editors. In music, there are inclusionist and redirectionist editors. Inclusionists take an expansive view of how many articles the encyclopedia should have. In other areas, deletionists favor deleting articles that they do not consider to be notable or encyclopedic. In the music area, the restrictive view is that of redirectionists, who prefer to redirect songs to albums, and sometimes to redirect albums to artists. Disputes also arise concerning performers known as members of a particular group or band, and inclusionists support separate articles, while redirectionists prefer to redirect to the articles on the group or band. The basic issue is usually one of different philosophies of the encyclopedia with regard to how fine a level of granularity is in order for articles as opposed to redirect entries.
Often the interaction between inclusionists and either deletionists or redirectionists can be productive. Sometimes it becomes unpleasant and disruptive.
Some editors like to rely almost entirely on the general notability guideline. Other editors, typically inclusionists, prefer to rely primarily on special notability guidelines, and to write the special notability guidelines broadly to permit as much coverage as possible. There are also questions as to whether the special notability guidelines should be interpreted expansively to call for inclusion or only permissively to allow inclusion. Robert McClenon ( talk) 05:58, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
That is what I commented in an AFD discussion. As noted, I think that the interaction between different viewpoints can be productive as long as it is civil, and it is unfortunate that it sometimes becomes heated. User:DarklyShadows is an enthusiastic inclusionist who contributes a great deal of information about songs, which is sometimes kept and sometimes merged.

Should I just pick a variation and stick with it, or should I mention there are a number of ways of spelling his name (which I would really like to do)? I would really appreciate some advice on the best way to go.
Thank you very much for any advice, Richard (I am sorry if I chose the wrong place for help - I am still quite new and I promise I did look at the help pages! Gricharduk ( talk) 12:41, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi,
I haven't begun writing the article yet, so I apologize that I can't give you a URL/page. I am doing research into a British media proprietor and have noticed that he's published an opinion piece in a publication he's the owner of.

Hello everyone. I'd say I've been here for a bit and I'm pretty skilled at editing but one thing I've never quite gotten how to do is how to turn an article into a good article.

How can I get editing authority on the Pocahontas article? There is some imprecise writing, such as the Wayne Newton claim to being a descendant of Pocahontas through her "son". The son that this claim refers to is not the documented son, Thomas Rolfe, but a separate oral tradition son whose existence is contested. The footnote (6) for this clause is linked to a source that does not even mention Wayne Newton. (For the record, the reference to Glenn Strange is not mentioned in this source either, but at least the "son" being referred to in his case is the same as the one in the source.)

Can an Editor at Wikipedia kindly help me as a retired 74 year old I am having so much difficulty submitting what I feel is a most interesting submission on my former airline Macedonian Aviation. I was exclusively the founder, owner and creator of this unique British airline. No one except myself have any copyrights of what I would like to submit below. To make a submission is so terribly difficult and any help you can give me would be so gratefully received. Thank you in anticipation. Roger Byron-Collins

MACEDONIAN AVIATION Requested submission below Early in 1972 the all British owned airline, Macedonian Aviation was formed to operate passenger and cargo charter flights. It started with the purchase of an 11 seat de Havilland Dove G-APZU from Lulsgate Air Services at Bristol airport. The airline was initially based at Luton airport operating under the AOC of McAlpine Aviation. Shortly afterwards Harry Chang, a pilot of the recently collapsed 'troop carrier' airline, Lloyds International approached the owner as he had available two contracts with Conoco and The Ford Motor Company. The first was to move offshore oil rig workers around North Sea ports and the second to convey spare parts for the recently introduced Ford Capri between Dagenham and Dusseldorf. With these contracts a loan was secured from Williams and Glyns Bank for Macedonian Aviation, a subsidiary of London based property company Macedonian Securities Ltd to expand their fleet and establish their first base at Southend airport. Harry Chang was appointed as chief pilot and with the Conoco and Ford Motor Company's contracts in place, Macedonian purchased the 'workhorse' of British Aircraft Corporation Filton - a Dakota DC3 G-AMPO c/n 33186 in 30 seat configuration. This aircraft was used to fly the engineers working on the Concorde production between Bristol, Filton and Toulouse. In the summer of that year an application was made to the Civil Aviation Committee to obtain their own AOC. The CAA chairman at the time was Lord Boyd-Carpenter and when it was granted he passed comment that "The applicant at only 26 years of age must be the youngest person in British aviation history to be awarded with an Air Operator's Certificate." On 8th August Dakota G-AMPO's first flight was a weekend inauguration trip to Amsterdam followed by a service check with Dan Air at Lasham and re sprayed at Eagle Air Services at Leavesden, as was the Dove. The Dakota crew underwent training with Dan Air at Lasham and it paid many visits to Gatwick and Southend during this period. Also in August 1972 Dove G-APZU went into service for passenger charters with several flights to Jersey, Amsterdam, Le Touquet, Hamburg, Copenhagen and Oslo. Unexpected publicity was achieved when a special charter for the Dove was undertaken between the 6th to 12th November 1972 when Michael Jackson and the Jackson Five were flown between their concerts in Paris, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool and Wembley. The following week the aircraft was chartered by Donny Osmond and The Osmonds for their UK tour. Dove G-APZU went into service for passenger charters from Southend in the October with several flights to Hamburg,Copenhagen and Oslo. However on 4th September 1972 Dakota G-AMPO undertook a very eventful trip. The airline owner's business partner was to marry an Indian diplomat's daughter at the All Saints Anglican Church in Beirut, Lebanon and a wedding party of 25 guests flew out on an MEA scheduled flight from Heathrow. After the marriage ceremony the wedding reception was held at the waterfront St George Hotel, owned by the airline owner's friend Fady el_Khoury, son of the Lebanese President. The following day Palestinian Terrorists murdered Israeli athletes at the Olympic games in Munich. On the 8th September 1972 the Israelis retaliated by attacking and besieging Beirut Airport which was closed and there were no scheduled flights to get the guests out of Lebanon. Harry Chang the head pilot was called from Beirut who said he would take the Dakota from Gatwick to extract the party and knowing the airport well advised the guests to remain on the beach by the airport which he would overfly and once he had landed the group were to run to the aircraft and they could embark. Some 12 hours later after refuelling at Genoa and Brindisi G-AMPO landed at Beirut airport escorted by Israeli military aircraft. The entire 25 wedding guests climbed over the perimeter fence and sprinted for the aircraft which did not shut down and it took off again within minutes for Nicosia Cyprus with the Israeli escort. Some of the wedding party continued their celebrations at The Dome Hotel in Kyrenia (before the island was divided). The wedding guests returned to the UK with Cyprus Airways and the crew and the owner returned in the Dakota 2 days later to Gatwick via Genoa. Later in September 1972 after completion of crew training G-AMPO returned to Southend to commence operations. On November 5th it took its first paying passengers to Amsterdam. The Dove G-APZU departed Southend on November 4th 1972 for a trip to Oslo Fornebu Norway for 4 days. Over the winter season the Dove operated a multitude of charter fights to Belgium, France, Germany and Holland. Finally the Dove G-APZU was sold to Shackleton Aviation in February 1973. By the spring 1973 G-AMPO was busy flying almost daily to Jersey, Ostend, Brussels and Saarbrucken. On May 3rd 1973 it flew a service to Groningen - Bergen - Birmingham - Brussels - Southend. By the summer that year the Dakota was working flat out on regular flights between Coventry - Jersey, Birmingham - Cologne, Southend - Castle Donnington - Stornoway. It also undertook many flights for Intra Airways. In November and December it was flying to Brussels, Calais, Cologne, Coventry Exeter, Geneva, Glasgow, Lisbon, Malta, Marseilles, Newcastle and Saarbrucken. During these months it was carrying various car components for the Ford Motor Company and transferring gold bullion for the UK Treasury to and from Germany, Belgium and France. In December 1973 Macedonian commenced oil rig support business for the first time and as a result the Dakota was then relocated to Aberdeen in connection with this contract. With this massive increase in work load Macedonian looked for more DC3s to buy and in March 1974 they purchased from Jersey, British Island Airway's last 3 Dakotas. The first 2 aircraft G-AMHJ c/n 13468 and G-AMRA c/n 26735 arrived at Southend March 8 1974. They were in a convertible cargo/passenger configuration and were moved to Aberdeen on April 27th 1974 for transportation of crews and equipment to Sumburgh on the Shetland Islands. Dakota G-AMPO arrived in Aberdeen also in April but was moved back to Southend that spring for services to Amsterdam, Belfast Gibraltar, Hamburg, Hurn, Heathrow, Le Havre ,Lisbon, Ostend, Rotterdam, Saarbrucken and Teeside. Then in September the third ex BIA DC3 G-AMSV c/n 32830 arrived at Southend. In April 1974 Macedonian Aviation acquired the former Dutch Limburg Airlines route from Rotterdam to Le Havre replacing their Fokker Friendships with Dakotas. During summer of 1974 the owner was hearing that the oil companies were going to insist on turboprop operations opened negotiations to acquire 3 Aer Lingus Viscounts and 6 Air Canada Viscounts or 3 Eastern Provincial Heralds. These negotiations were not successful and having appraised the cost of running a turboprop operation was sure would not be profitable so sold the entire Macedonian Aviation as a going concern. Following the sale on November 6th 1974 all the aircraft returned to Southend and the new owners were unable to raise finance to support turboprop operations by the end of the year they ceased all flying. The aircraft went to Humber Airways followed by Eastern Airways who operated the Heathrow - Norwich - Humberside scheduled service. Macedonian Aviation's fleet of 6 Aircraft: DH104 Dove 6 G-APZU (04511) Douglas Dakota G-AMPO (16437/33185), G-AMPZ (16124/32872), G-AMHJ (13468) G-AMRA (15290/26735), G-AMSV (16072/32830) |

Hi. I am a writer. I work in the Australian comedy industry. I am a newcomer to Wikipedia editing and would like to show that a subject I intend to create and, with the help of others in the industry, edit is important and noteworthy as an article. It is an article on a broadcaster, producer and promoter David - Dave - Taranto, who worked in Melbourne radio, recording and live comedy production in the nineteen nineties in Melbourne Australia. His work, which included running the Melbourne Comedy Festival, occurred at a time before comedy in Australia became a more organised professional industry. However, his work is notable as he was active in establishing the organisations that exist today. He was hands on in creating comedy management. As he had such a big impact on Australia's comedy industry I believe an article on Taranto would be very important contribution to the history of comedy in Melbourne and Australia. Can you help me?

I've had my first article Bailey Doogan accepted and posted. Now I'm trying to insert three images of the artist's work. They meet the fair-use criteria. I actually received the files from the artist and have her permission to use them. I just can't seem to technically get the files inserted. When I used the Wikipedia upload function, it wouldn't accept the upload because I couldn't find a fair use category that the program would accept. I found the "Non-free 2D art" template that other artist articles have used, and I filled it out, but it loaded directly into my article. It should be part of a larger attachment that is linked to the inserted image. I'm running out of options. Does anyone know how to access the form that comes up when you click on an inserted image and then click on the "More Details" button?

Which references are okay to use for history articles? If I'm writing about a sixteenth century topic, is it okay to use nineteenth century sources? There are many websites that combine information from various origins. Some of them come from major organizations, such as government institutions, while others do not.

Hi tea house
My draft submission was recently rejected by Sulfurboy stating sourced with a press release. I asked him several times on his talk page ( here) to point to even one reference that he believes looks like a PR but he did not answer any of my questions and closed the discussion. I had reworked on overall sourcing and made significant changes that removed promotional content and non-reliable sources. I had only included sources that were secondary, reliable, and discussed the topic in detail. I doubt if he even cared to check the sources before taking his actions. He also removed all of my edits. What do I do to fix this issue? thanks in advance. 2405:204:288:6273:5E02:A7FA:C95F:2FA1 ( talk) 19:11, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
@ Bonadea: @ David notMD: Thanks for taking out the time to review Draft:Pepperfry but the draft you're seeing right now is the old one which was declined back in March 2020, where the reviewer left a message saying This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. I have since reworked on overall sourcing, added more sources from leading publications and removed references that did sound like a PR. I did another draft submission in May 2020 but the reviewer, Sulfurboy, removed all of my edits that left the page the why it looks right now. You can also check out the page history to verify the same. I would appreciate feedback as to what I should do to fix this. 2405:204:288:6273:E71F:AECE:31C0:ABDF ( talk) 18:49, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

I am coming across different recommendations in Wikipedia for new article creation with a COI. Which should I follow? I am reading the guidelines on how to request to have an article created for the company I work for (COI), but am coming across different recommendations in Wikipedia. Which should I follow? On /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Articles_for_creation - it says it is intended for editors who should not (e.g. people with a conflict of interest), create new articles directly into mainspace.
Yet, /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Best_practices_for_editors_with_close_associations , under section "Don't create new articles", says to go the 'Request' route
On /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest, under section "COI editing" it says "you should put new articles through the Articles for Creation (AfC) process instead of creating them directly;"
Yet /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations#Do_I_have_to_disclose_my_relationship_with_my_organization?, under section "I think my organization deserves an article on Wikipedia but none exists. What can I do?" it says the 'Request route.

Hello, TeaHouse. Just need a little clarity on how long it takes for a created page to appear on a 'google search'. For instance, United States School Garden Army, Ikorodu Bois, Ahmed Khan have all been created for about three days or more, but not 'searchable' on google.

Requesting advice from any uninvolved editor who knows how to handle discussions from sensitive areas like Indian politics and communal riots.
There is a discussion at
Talk:2020 Delhi riots#Confused to remove the “in the Indian capital's deadliest Hindu-Muslim riot since 1950” in the lead of the article. I opposed removing the phrase due to the fact that 30% of the deceased were Hindus (as per the infobox), but other participants were citing verifiability and original research policies and saying that almost no source calls it a Hindu-Muslim riot, and that the death toll doesn’t account for those who were left in the drains to die (if there is evidence that there are some missing victims, then why keep a possibly fudged up death toll?). However, I found four reliable sources, two of which have an international presence, calling it as “Hindu-Muslim clashes”.
Sources which have termed the riots as “Hindu-Muslim”:
Here, Reuters, Associated Press and NYT did note that both Hindus and Muslims had resorted to violence (though they focused on the Hindus committing the majority of crimes). So, is the fact that these sources call it a Hindu-Muslim clash enough to leave the phrase in the article? RedBulbBlueBlood9911 ( talk) 11:39, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
I need advice on how to not appear to be promoting a [non-commercial] novel which I am, in fact, in a way promoting: /info/en/?search=Draft:My_Blog_Is_Up_For_Grabs I failed to add a COI tag at the outset only because I didn't know about such things which I hope I have now corrected. (Not sure if I added that correctly.) I believe the Persian author of the book is sufficiently notable in that he is now up for the prestigious Hans Christian Andersen Award (it's the "Nobel" in the realm of international children's literature) and the author has also won prestigious prizes in his home country, Iran. Obviously, his works are not very accessible to non-Persian readers so that is why I translated this novel into English and put it in the public domain for free. This novel has so far gone into 3 printings in Iran (that's considered a lot there) but the English translation is likely only going to be of interest to a small niche group. So how can I bring the translation to people's attention other than "promoting" it? My article was rejected for "promoting" but I honestly must ask, aren't pretty much all new books and film articles on Wikipedia not written by those connected with them? I'm stuck as to how to get my article accepted and any tips would be appreciated. MrConnieGenius ( talk) 06:36, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello,
I am looking to draft and have vetted a biographical page for Mary Woolley, President and CEO of Research!America.
It has come to my attention that she had a page previously, but it was retracted for reasons I am unaware of. I want to learn the steps I can take to remedy this situation and produce an objective, non promotional and nonpartisan account of Mary Woolley's life.
There is another woman with the same name that has Wikipedia page Mary Emma Woolley. I am not looking to change that page at all. Without a red link to start a page for Research!America's Mary, where would I begin? Importantly, how can I have my content vetted by a Wikipedia admin, so that the information can remain compliant and published?
Thanks in advance for assistance that can be offered on this. Markvoneisen ( talk) 13:02, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
Thanks to everyone for offering direction here. I do indeed have a conflict of interest in that I work for her organization. However, this effort is part an initiative to heighten organizational transparency on multiple fronts — with a goal that is the opposite of increasing subjectivity. Given my brief research, Woolley certainly meets the criteria for notability. Unless this task should be the sole prerogative of an external editor(s), I am able and willing to curate a draft and submit to editors for vetting. Thanks for the assistance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Markvoneisen ( talk • contribs) 17:26, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Some examples of appropriately editing others' comments are: [...] Removing or striking through comments made by blocked sock puppets of users editing in violation of a block or ban. Comments made by a sock with no replies may simply be removed with an appropriate edit summary. If comments are part of an active discussion, they should be struck instead of removed, along with a short explanation following the stricken text or at the bottom of the thread. There is not typically a need to strike comments in discussions that have been closed or archived.

And how the info generated box is made on wiki page Preetikasingh ( talk) 03:11, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
Hi Preetikasingh. While you may want to create a separate article about this subject, it may not be the best thing do from a Wikipedia standpoint, at least not at the current moment. It might actually be better for Wikipedia’s readers to expand the existing article about Lakhahi to include information about it prior to 1947. Then, perhaps at some later date, as more and more content is added about that particular period, the article could be WP:SPLIT into two articles.
My suggestion to you is to ask about this at WT:INDIA and see what the members of that WikiProject think about your draft. They might be able to help you bring in up to Wikipedia’s standards for articles or figure out a way to incorporate content from your draft into the existing article about Lakhali. If you try and the draft to the article namespace in its current state, there’s a good chance that someone will either nominate it for deletion, or they might redirect it to or merge it into the article about Lakhali. Trying asking for help and Wikipedia:WikiProject India and see what its members have to have. — Marchjuly ( talk) 11:02, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

There is a page now called White Ethnic [9] which discusses a very poorly and conflictingly defined concept. The premise is that anyone who immigrated to the USA from outside of Britain and is not part of the Anglican Church is a “white ethnic.” The supposed history is the oppression and abuse of the white ethnic people, who are suggested to have a singular culture despite differing religions, nationalities, spoken languages, etc. They are also meant to be distinct by their socioeconomic class amongst the working classes, being oppressed then by the “ruling class” of wealthy Britons.
However, they do not once mention the Anglican Church in this article, as I assume the authors don’t know what they’re saying very well. They also list politicians from upper middle class backgrounds in their “white ethnic” group for the article. These were certainly not working class men. You can see the bungled attempt to make sense of their nonsense in the article with their chosen sources for yourselves...
Unfortunately, in addition to being wholly not encyclopedic, misusing many terms (which I have tried to address repeatedly) and lacking in any consistency or logical basis, this is actually an invented concept tied to the white supremacy movement. I think it should be taken down for those many reasons. [1] [2]

A lot of your references are useless and should be deleted. For example, current #10 and #11 are newspaper articles about specific diseases, in which Monto gets a one-line mention.

Hello, my draft on Draft:Scantrust was declined for lack of notability. However, based on my understanding on the assessment of notability for corporations described in ps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(organizations_and_companies), there is a number of sources in the article which I believe contribute to establishing notability.
I have included at least 5 different articles which are exclusively about Scantrust, and were published in the most read newspapers in Switzerland (e.g. 20 Minuten, Le Temps, 24 Heures, L'Impartial/L'express, HandelsZeitung). A list of the top newspapers in Switzerland can be found here: https://www.4imn.com/ch/
Some of these sources are in French and some are in German, as Scantrust is a corporation based in Switzerland. Can these sources count towards notability? If they do not count, I would like to understand the reasons. And if they do count, then can the notability of the article be re-assessed by other reviewers?

This article should only contain notable YouTube personalities who have been discussed in reliable sources and already have their own Wikipedia article. Entries without a Wikipedia article will be removed.So the first thing to do for someone to be included on that list is that there must be a separate article about that person. Please read Your First Article and our general notability guideline to better understand what that implies. There must be multiple independent professionally published reliable sources, each of which discusses the person in some detail, before an article can be validly created. Most Youtubers, even ones with large numbers of viewers, will not qualify.

Greetings hosts, I know there are lot of ways to include graphs in Wikipedia. I have certainly used some of them. Some times ago, I have came across a line chart where the data for the chart is taken from a separate commons file with extension .tab (I think). Obviously this chart uses lots of data, that's why it's created that way. Now, I am in need to use this kind of graph for an article. If someone can point me in the direction to find any of this type of charts. It will be very helpful. I know this is a vague question. But still, I am looking for an answer. - Timbaa -> ping me 13:29, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

These words of mine do not intend to offend or complain about anyone. I am new to Wikipedia and recently I had an article of mine in Portuguese properly published (after being reviewed by an editor). I am an academic and the subject is serious and important. However, I did an article on the same topic, but in English, since there are a huge number of researchers who do not speak or read Portuguese, but who are interested in the topic. I requested publication (by pressing the "publish" button) and hoped to get feedback from an editor (at the same time that I would make corrections or add sources to the text). However, my article appeared classified as "draft", which I I thought it was temporary. However, it has been classified as a "draft" for some time and no communication has been made with me so far. I would like to know what the next step is. After the article is published, corrections are much simpler to make (such as, for example, indexing a word with another Wikipedia article, but in another language).

I've seen many URLs in Wikipedia that point to HTTP version of websites that redirect to the HTTPS version or even worse: serve the same content regardless of the protocol. So I was thinking on doing a Wikipedia bot to update every link if possible. To do that, comparing that the content is the same in the HTTP and the HTTPS version would be enough. However, most of the sites I visit have some dynamic fields that change every time (ids, file hashes, dates, visitor counters...), so I was thinking on doing something like this:
This would help to have a safer web. Obviously this won't update pages that make a heavy use of JavaScript unless we use some browser automation such as Selenium.

I am currently watching (and improving when I have the time) 29 articles relating to Nokia’s Android smartphones (thank goodness edits are not very common in those articles). But I’ve noticed that three editors, all of whom have a history of uploading copyrighted stuff as “Own Work” (I checked on nokia.com and all their images are copyrighted by HMD Global, which runs the mobile phone business) have uploaded a total of 7 copyrighted images (some without any modifications, some with a white background) in the last two months. The first two editors’ images have been deleted, but given how often random people are adding copyrighted images, I’d like to know if there is a way to stop people from adding images to the article, without interfering with other editors’ work (especially since almost no one else has been causing any trouble on these articles). If there is no way, does this disruptive editing (or vandalism, if deliberate copyvios count as vandalism) warrant putting the pages under the pending changes review system?

This is a type of dispute that is common in the music area. In some of the general areas, there are said to inclusionist and deletionist editors. In music, there are inclusionist and redirectionist editors. Inclusionists take an expansive view of how many articles the encyclopedia should have. In other areas, deletionists favor deleting articles that they do not consider to be notable or encyclopedic. In the music area, the restrictive view is that of redirectionists, who prefer to redirect songs to albums, and sometimes to redirect albums to artists. Disputes also arise concerning performers known as members of a particular group or band, and inclusionists support separate articles, while redirectionists prefer to redirect to the articles on the group or band. The basic issue is usually one of different philosophies of the encyclopedia with regard to how fine a level of granularity is in order for articles as opposed to redirect entries.
Often the interaction between inclusionists and either deletionists or redirectionists can be productive. Sometimes it becomes unpleasant and disruptive.
Some editors like to rely almost entirely on the general notability guideline. Other editors, typically inclusionists, prefer to rely primarily on special notability guidelines, and to write the special notability guidelines broadly to permit as much coverage as possible. There are also questions as to whether the special notability guidelines should be interpreted expansively to call for inclusion or only permissively to allow inclusion. Robert McClenon ( talk) 05:58, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
That is what I commented in an AFD discussion. As noted, I think that the interaction between different viewpoints can be productive as long as it is civil, and it is unfortunate that it sometimes becomes heated. User:DarklyShadows is an enthusiastic inclusionist who contributes a great deal of information about songs, which is sometimes kept and sometimes merged.

I'm a novice at this probably I should take some time to learn before doing any edits again. Thanks for taking time to clarify things. Please know it wasn't intentional and that's why it made me angry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Globalnitish ( talk • contribs) 09:15, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
Yes frankly I'm an employee. I realized how reckless my attempt to list was with my first article whether I declared conflict of interest or not. Thanks for everyone reviewed and gave comments.
I've been thinking scientific or patent documents about this new cosmetic ingredient derived from Botulinum Toxin are too difficult to understand. (Methionyl r-Clostridium Polypeptide-1 Hexapeptide-40)
So, simply thought explaining about ingredient development back ground, process and results would be helpful to understand as well as spreading knowledge of Gene recombinant protein.
I made a mistake to approach telling the company and brand which using this ingredient with my first article.
Can anyone advice me whether this subject is appropriate for Wikipedia, and the good way to deal with this topic.
Thanks in advance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joonki7 ( talk • contribs) 04:30, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
Good Afternoon,
I am writing an article which mentions a High Sheriff of Somerset - A Robert Fitzpain (no article on Wikipedia - yet). Some sources spell his surname that way but many others spell it as Fitzpaine and even Fitzpayne. Even primary sources spell it in many different ways. Should I just pick a variation and stick with it, or should I mention there are a number of ways of spelling his name (which I would really like to do)? I would really appreciate some advice on the best way to go.
Thank you very much for any advice, Richard (I am sorry if I chose the wrong place for help - I am still quite new and I promise I did look at the help pages! Gricharduk ( talk) 12:41, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
Does anyone know how I move a file from Wikimedia to a Wikipedia article? Redstoneprime ( talk) 12:02, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
