Hello, we are working with a group of scientists on a new article on genetic resources. Currently, there is only a disambiguation page with this name. We'd like to propose to rename that page into 'genetic resources - list' and create an article entitled 'genetic resources' with a definition, history etc. Is this a good approach? Anything we should do before we proceed with this change? Thank you, Ewa hermanowicz ( talk) 10:23, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Hey folks, happy to have this community to rely on for things like these.
I have recently published my first Wikipedia article, and it's about a company I work for. We are launching cutting-edge AI-powered mental health services. I just wanted to create a page for anyone who might google us, as a general reference.
I don't think my content was that salesy. I also added hyperlinks to Crunchbase and Linkedin, but apparently it wasn't enough.
What should I do to make sure it's published? 98.128.253.114 ( talk) 15:40, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Good day. I submitted a draft article ( Edinburgh Festival Voluntary Guides Association) and this has now been accepted for publication. I now want to create a Redirect to this article from EFVGA. So I created a new draft ( Draft:EFVGA) containing only the following:
#REDIRECT [[Edinburgh Festival Voluntary Guides Association]]
I submitted this new page for publication. But I then saw a message saying that the page was unacceptable because it did not contain any citations.
So, my questions: (i) Did I follow the correct procedure? and if so (ii) What citations can I insert in a Redirect page?
Thanks in advance. Mike Marchmont ( talk) 12:29, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

My submission declined on 5 July 2020 by Calliopejen1 (talk) without any highlighed comment Draft:Wanny Boy. I am not able to see some specific comment.
My references are from established newspapers (list given below). I have seen many wiki articles are using eonline.com and metro.co.uk in their references.

All,
Need a support with a decline on this article. draft:Ravi Venkatesan.
Firstly, I understand that there are an inordinate number of requests similar to mine that this team would be getting on a daily basis. But, that said - please allow me to state some facts.
Notability
1. Industry: The person under question is a seasoned senior industry veteran in the Indian market. He has been the Co-Chairman of the Board of Infosys ltd (one of the largest Indian technology services firm), CEO / Chairman of Microsoft India, Chairman of the Board of Bank of Baroda (one of the largest Public Sector Banks in India - top 5 in the country by market capitilization), and Chairman of Cummins ltd. All of these by themselves make him an Industry leader of repute.
2. Government: In addition, he is currently driving the efforts of the Government task force for revival of MSME (micro, small, and medium enterprises), particularly in response to the COVID19 pandemic impact on these enterprises.
3. Venture Capital: He is also a venture capitalist with two leading early stage investment funds, contributing in part to the VC led funding boom that is currently being seen in India.
All of the points above satisfy the notability elements of the question.
Significant Coverage / Reliable Sources
Sources / coverage have spanned the following types of mediums.
1. Newspapers - Prominent Indian newspapers - e.g. Indian Express, Livemint, Economic Times
2. Citations from NGOs - e.g. Rockefeller Foundation
3. Links to Opinion articles / books - e.g. Economic Times, Amazon.
Regarding a statement in the templatized note that has been provided, the coverage in #1, #2, and #3 above are more than passing mentions.
Next Steps
Require assistance from this group on the specific edits that are required before this article can be approved. While appreciation of geographic context is not necessarily required for realizing that this person qualifies as a subject of interest, I am happy to add any additional context required.

Hi Guys,
I am a new user to Wikipedia and recently added some information about a South Asian caste/ethnic group ( Gujjars) with valid sources and references, however, another user has stated to me that WT:INB does not allow the discussion of genetics for individual castes which does not make sense to me, furthermore on WT:INB I did not find any discussion saying it is not allowed to add genetic information for individual castes. This article is within the scope of WT:INB as well as WikiProject Pakistan where the discussion of genetic information is allowed on articles. If there is a rule in Wikipedia that says such discussions are not allowed then I will remove the post otherwise if there is not then Wikipedia has to take some responsibility and acknowledge that they are suppressing the freedom of information which is the right of every human being.
My question is why are we not allowed to talk about genetics for individual castes as long as it is well referenced and without bias?

Hannibal was born in Carthage and Carthage was in African, therefore he was African. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Khrysvic ( talk • contribs) 18:08, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
hmm, it is like saying even though Gengis Khan was born in Asia, that it does not mean he looks like Asian people. if he was born in Africa to African parents, there is no way he was anything but Black, wouldnt you agree? the amount of paintings depicting him as white are obviously innacurate, just like the picture of Cesare Borgia that is used to depict Jesus as white, when there was no europeans in the middle east.Are we trying to depict accuracy on Wikipedia or not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Khrysvic ( talk • contribs) 18:32, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
As mentioned above, the current Egyptians are Arab invaders, and they came way after the era of Pharoahs etc. the african population back then was all black so for Hannibal Born in Africa 247 BC, its impossible that he looked nothing but black and even more impossible that any of the statues or pictures depicting him as white, could be even close to accurate — Preceding unsigned comment added by Khrysvic ( talk • contribs) 19:12 6 July 2020 (UTC)

There are at least a few users who think that the referencing for the article Speedrun is very bad. How would you go about improving it? Bear in mind that this topic doesn't always attract mainstream media attention, so the traditional high quality references are hard to come by. One of the references is to a google doc. I'm guessing that's bad practice, and I have some ideas why, but I'd like another opinion. AshSIreland ( talk) 22:48, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

I own an old family photograph of Jack Dempsey with members of my long deceased family preparing to go on a hunting expedition in northern Maine. My long deceased aunt gave me a list of the names of everybody in the photograph when I was a kid. I still have that list, too.
I posted the photo with mention of Dempsey's trips to Maine. I suggested that the trip in my photo was probably around 1924 but unverifiable. I listed the names of everybody in the photo.
It is known that Dempsey came to Maine on several occasions. There was even a dance hall in Moro Plantation with his name.
Anyway, why would my photo be removed? /info/en/?search=Jack_Dempsey

How to add an image copyright tag I have uploaded an image to Wikipedia (not Commons) then added it to the infobox in the article Ruth Clayton.

Reducing an image size I think that the image box portrait that I put in the article Ruth Clayton would be much better if reduced in size. I tried to do this, but it was reversed by another editor who left me a message that I didn't fully understand. I'm autoconfirmed, but still very much a novice.

Indeed, an article has to be independently notable and/or important to be placed in the mainstream wiki. If you consider your article as notable, continue editing it until you think you have improved it, than either resubmit it or put it into mainstream wikipedia for it to be reviewed (though I advice you submit it for reviewing from a professional).

An editor has contacted me off-wiki about his/her issues with a specific user named Howard the Duck. I actually have the same sentiments. I have noticed in the past few months that this user has been aggressive that he resorts to using all caps (aka shouting) in requested move discussions, particularly in here: Talk:MRT_Line_3_(Metro_Manila)#Requested_move_5_May_2020. The reply at support number 3 here in Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Philippine Railways sounds like mockery. It's like assuming bad faith on all other editors. Now, user orders to close the Wikiproject Proposal that he did not start. Given the lockdowns still in place in the Philippines, it is possible that some editors might not be able to go online frequently.

I still believe these names, or spelling these out are the WP:COMMONNAME for these train lines.... so back to my point. At some point in history, the government used colors to distinguish the train lines. LRT-2 was purple, MRT-3 was yellow, PNR was orange, I forgot what LRT-1 was. (I think I got the colors mixed up. I'm sure though the LRT-2 was the "purple line".) Earlier, they used "Metrostar" and "Megatren" brandings for MRT-3 and LRT-2, respectively. So if I understand that naming these to "Line #" solves the issue of having to rename these lines every time, that's not the case, more to the fact that IT. IS. SIMPLY. NOT. THE. COMMON. NAME. FOR.

All,
I understand that you get this question from multiple folks. But, I wanted to state this here, to seek this forum's guidance. This note is about a page that I created for CB Insights, after seeing that CB Insights does not have an article, while their competitors e.g. Crunchbase and Owler had a wiki article.
Context
CB Insights is one of the top three (by usage and revenue) market intelligence platforms for tracking venture capital, and funding activities for private companies. Link from one of CB Insights' competitors here.
The company is considered a leader in its domain and a simple test would be searching CB Insights on Wikipedia and seeing the number of articles, particularly in the private equity, venture capital domains. Link here.
The company is quite a significant one in the private equity / venture capital / startup investments domain because it fills a void that very few can fill. i.e. market intelligence / venture capital information for private startups. Currently, they are tracking an annual revenue of ~$50 million, and have ~300 employees.
I received an update that the article is marked for deletion because of the following reason
Per WP:NCORP Nothing significantly notable that distinguishes this platform from similar platforms. (proposed by Comatmebro)
Sources
Sources for this article are quite diverse
1. Newspapers and Media: E.g. New York Times, TechCrunch
2. Market Intelligence Trackers: E.g. Crunchbase, Linkedin Company Intelligence
3. Other Advisory Firms: E.g. Pricewaterhouse Coopers
Next Steps
Please can someone help me on how best I can respond to this note to prevent this article from being deleted, and more importantly inputs on next steps towards review / approval.

Hi - I am trying to create a page for the company I work for (well-known, lots of public references, was surprised there wasn't already a wikipedia page). I am going through the steps to note that I have a conflict of interest in writing the article and I get as far as here:
You do not have permission to create this page, for the following reason: The page title or edit you have tried to create has been restricted to administrators at this time. It matches an entry on the local or global blacklists, which is usually used to prevent vandalism.
If you receive this message when trying to edit, create or move an existing page, follow these instructions:
Any administrator can create or move this page for you. Please post a request at the Administrators' noticeboard. You may also contact any administrator on their talk page or by email. Be sure to specify the exact title (especially by linking it) of the page you are trying to create or edit, and if it might be misunderstood (for example, an article with an unusual name), consider explaining briefly what you want to do. If you wrote any text, save it temporarily on your computer until you can edit the page.

Hi! So i read Terrorism in Indonesia list of attakcs is incomplete, because recently there was an attack towards police station on South Kalimantan.After i read about notability & read news about that particular events, i am sure that it deserves its place, but not sure as a new article or maybe just as an edit on page somewhere.
Details about that attack can be read here:
[6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]
Since i am a new member of Wikipedia and i'm afraid creating mess by wrong-editing, i feel not "correct person" to decide this & edit the particular thing.

Over 20 years ago I created and trademarked two words: NETWEAVING and NETWEAVER. NetWeaving is a Golden Rule and Pay It Forward form of networking. Whereas networking is self-focused. NetWeaving is all about helping someone else, either by connecting them with someone who can fulfill a need, problem or opportunity they have, OR providing them with some resource they need - no strings attached. I was the first elected president of the Pay It Forward Foundation and still serve on the non-profit foundation board created by Catherine Ryan Hyde, author of the book on which the concept is based. The NetWeaving International website is now a totally free website with no cookies and no tracking. Anyone can go and download two of the three books I have written "The Heart and Art of NetWeaving" and "Raising Your R&R Factor". If you 'google' the word, NetWeaving, you can see how it has spread around the world.
I hope that Wikipedia would agree that this concept deserves to be in Wikipedia. Our world needs so much more of this. How would I go about doing this?
Incidentally, SAP NetWeaver came about the same time I trademarked "NETWEAVING" and "NETWEAVER". They had evidently purchased the company who had the original tradmark. I was allowed the trademark since my NetWeaving concept was totally outside their use. I noticed several years after I spelled NetWeaver with a capital W, they started capitalizing it too. Also, with my permission, a non-profit organization "CEO Netweavers" was granted permission by me to use the Netweaver name.

There is no conflict of interest in that SAP Netweaver, which is already in Wikipedia, is a software platform and has nothing to do with my concept of NetWeaving which is social skill and lifelong practice that not only helps others but enriches your own life. If there had been a conflict, I never would have gotten the I could easily write the article or I saw that if I wanted someone else to write it, they could do that instead. I'm going on the Board of our large Property Owner's Assn which is going to eat up a lot of time. I would be willing to pay someone to write the article unless it would be preferable for me to write. I have many sources in which the article has either been featured or mentioned and as I checked this morning, when I googled 'netweaving', it shows 285,000 hits. Here is what is shown on the US Patent Office website.

I was given a note with instructions on how to add a signature to the "talk" pages, but never to use one when editing an article. When I edited an article, it flipped to the "talk" tab at the top of the page, so I added my signature, however it published the signature details on the article page. So I went back in and removed the signature. Can someone please clarify the difference between "talk" pages and "articles," so that I know when I should be adding my 4 tildes in as a signature? If I am editing an article that's already posted on Wikipedia, do I need to put " Karenpace ( talk) 21:29, 8 July 2020 (UTC)" at the end of my addition or changes? The instructions said to "add them at the end of my comment." However it's not a comment so much as an addition to an article.

Hello,
I come in peace... and I fully admit that I am not very familiar with how Wikipedia operates, I seem to have come up against some politics in the last few hours and after some research, I hope the community can help answer some questions I have and in the process, I hope I do not cause any offence.
Today I signed up with a brand new account with the intention to create an article about my Father, a noteworthy explorer, mountaineer and author. In my naivety, I had not realised my conflict of interest and had failed to cite and reference what I had written before submitting my unfinished draft: /info/en/?search=Draft:Martin_Moran_(mountaineer) This was of course rejected which is fair now I have educated myself a little.
I wanted to create a page for my Dad, Martin Moran who died last year in an accident in the Indian Himalaya and his body was never recovered. He was a well-known mountaineer, British Mountain Guide, author of 4 books and holds many first accents and achievements to his name.
I had no other intention other than wanting to consolidate my Father's legacy and life work in an article on this respected platform. As his daughter, I have no monetary or business-driven motive apart from giving him the notoriety I feel he deserves.
I am however still a little perplexed, my draft was rejected and I believe I am no longer able to write an article on this subject due to my relationship with the person of note. I also understand it is frowned upon to ask someone else to publish this article on my behalf. So I wondered if the community here can help, is there a way to request that a notable person has a presence on Wikipedia or does this come down to whether volunteer editors believe it noteworthy enough to create a page?
I certainly do not want to breach the rules od Wikipedia or risk have my any future articles about my Father removed - I hope someone can help.
Thanks

I'm posting here to see what a more experienced editor would do. Example: Biographical page of extradition lawyer Gary Botting.

So, would the Qur'an recitations of the famous Egyptian qurras ( El Minshawi, Al Hussary, Abdul Basit Abdus Samad, Mustafa Ismail) fall under public domain too, especially since most of them published their works well before 2002 regardless of whether anyone claims legal rights to the recitals (record companies or firms that acquired rights to the recordings post their deaths or secured rights in other countries)?

All facts are correct, including the titles of the pictures and names (the only word repetitions on the artist's website). The article was a lot of work. Also my efforts to get in contact with curb safe charmer via talk on June 16th didn't help, as he hasn't answered until today. Please help me, what else needs to be done?

Hey there, I've written quite a few articles for the english wikipedia so far. Usually I'm more familiar with the german WP. What happened to my article Lorenz Kienzle (translation of german article I also wrote, but quite a few years ago) now in a so-called "review" is something I honestly would consider as vandalism. Anybody here who'd help me out? The vandalist in question added like 100 "citation needed" blocks, marked a source I actually possess as a real book (containing the pics in question) with a "failed verification" note and furthermore added those "citation needed" blocks in a way that the html shows in the reading mode. I have not seen any article on a living (or dead) artist that verifies every single exhibition the person has made and had with an extra source. Of course I included the person's website where these solo shows easily can be traced (apart from the books and catalogues that were published and are listed as well in the "publications" section). I'm quite pissed, but don't want to start an edit war by just reverting the edits. Anybody here who would take a look? Thanks a lot in advance ... Grizma ( talk) 20:58, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
The "citation needed" has been inserted many times inside the brackets of the wikilinks, the excessive use of the "citation needed" makes the article unreadable. I think this is very bad style and it creates a lot of work for both of us, fixing the wikilinks etc. I have no problem with including more sources, I have a problem with the style here. Usually a note is left on the discussion page that you can deal with instead of this disruptive use of the citation stamp. I will get in touch with the user, but I wanted to hear more opinions before. Are you really telling me I should list every single catalogue and book which is already in the "publications" list again in the references? That's just blowing up the references without any meaningful content. Check out these article: Peter Keetman, Herlinde Koelbl, Toni Schneiders, Peter Thomann, Gottfried Jäger.

There are two different romanised variants of Δημόπουλος: Demopoulos and Dimopoulos. If I wanted to create a list of people with the surname Demopoulos, would I create a separate article or add them to Dimopoulos. Considering Athina redirects to Athena, wouldn't it make sense to have one article for both variants?
In addition, the feminine suffix for Greek surnames ending in -poulos is -poulou, would someone with the surname Papadopoulou be part of a list of people with the surname Papasthatopoulos?

I'm working on this article - /info/en/?search=Dorothy_Perkins and there is a paragraph with a citation that simply says "Former employee from 1966 - 1970". May I remove it since it is undocumented and seems to be a minor issue? I can't find any reliable source (or anything other than fake copying websites) when I googled "Margret Geraghty dorothy perkins"
"One newspaper advertisement for management trainees asked: 'Will curls come in? Will maxis make it?' However, the stores never really got to grips with sixties boutique culture. Author Margret Geraghty who worked there for a while in the late sixties remembers that all the sales staff had to wear nylon uniforms: 'They were cerise with a zip up the front. Forget dolly birds. They looked more like canteen assistants.' There were also blue nylon ones with zips down the back and turtle neck with bow, which were exceptionally hard to zip up, and the assistants used to have to zip each other up. The exception was the store manager, who was permitted to wear her own clothes. citation needed Ihaveadreamagain 20:42, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello,
I have been patrolling the edit filter and doing vandalism reversion and user warnings, etc. An IP attempted to vandalize, but it got disallowed by the edit filter. I left a level 1 edit filter warning on their talk page, followed by a level 2 after they repeated their actions a couple minutes later. An hour ago, they undid my edit adding the second warning.
I know that you can remove things from your talk page, (and that it is frowned upon), but I was wondering if it would be acceptable to add the warning back in, so that in case they continue to vandalize, all of their warnings are actually there? Or should I just leave them alone?

Hi All,
I patrol the dead end pages category and came across this article [ List of American Academy of Arts and Sciences members (2006 - 2019) ], which seems to be just a listing of all AAAS members by year (seemingly lifted from the AAAS website cited as the source); there are a couple of other similar articles, accessible from this 'TOC page' of sorts: [ List of American Academy of Arts and Sciences members ]. I'm guessing that many of the names on the list could be linked to existing articles (which would obviously be a mammoth task if done manually!), but before I even think of tackling that, I wanted to ask for advice on this, as I've never come across a page like this.

I am campaigning to create a feature film to educate everyone in America and beyond about the expendability of black people currently in the USA. Change has to come and alot of potential supporters are confusing the Black Lives Matter movement to the Black Lives Matter website that contributes to ActBlue, a political organization.
My film will be a unbiased report on this issue and the movement surrounding Black Lives Matter. I recently made the front page of the paper, Tuesday June 23 this year in the Daily/Sunday Review serving NEPA and upstate NY.
My purpose for requesting your help is to hopefully appeal to your better Angels regarding the systemic racism keeping artists that work as hard as I am from being heard on the same level as anyone else that works as hard and for this long. I primarily would like to not be confused by potential donors with the ActBlue website while fundraising on Facebook and other sites. Wikipedia gives this film and our cause legitimacy.
Please consider my request for help. I tried to write an article myself but was told it was not valid and only people with news articles about them are included on Wikipedia. Now that I have made the news can your website please grant me the same public acceptance as IMDB.com, The Daily/Sunday Review and Kickstarter.com granted my films.

Hello. Is it appropriate to remove the "needs additional citations for verification" template after adding references from RS, while leaving individual "citation needed" tags within the article? Or phrased another way, can an editor add RS references to an article, remove the broad banner at the top, and leave the individual citation needed tags? I sometimes feel that an article, in general, is adequately sourced after I add more references, but that old "citation needed" tags remain, often from years ago, both legitimately, and in some cases, due to edit warring, petulance, etc. Thank you.

Hi everyone,
Not sure if a content warning is necessary but as a heads up the page in question relates to child abuse.
I've read the page about the deletion of Wikipedia pages, but I feel like I must be missing something since the page in question was deleted 13 years ago and obviously hasn't been restored. So, I'm seeking a bit of clarity here before bothering the person who deleted it (thank you in advance!).
I've been recently trying to address issues on pages where children have been victimized - my goal is to help ensure that these pages are accurate, well-written, and properly sourced to respect these children's stories. I have noticed that the "See also" sections of pages detailing child abuse often have a relatively long list of related cases (e.g., the page detailing Nubia Barahona's murder). I thought it might be more expedient/tidy to create a list of incidents of child abuse. I then discovered that a page did formerly exist but was deleted in 2007 November with the admin leaving the comment, "hell no, WP:BLP".
I am a bit confused as to how this violates the biographies of living persons rules as it would be a collection of articles that already exist and (in my inexperienced opinion) appear to be well-sourced. In addition, a category to this effect already exists.
Can someone please help me understand?

First of all, let me say that I love Wikipedia and happily kick you $100 annually. I'm a blogger about Japan and anime and often use it to beef up my research on topics I write about.
I was researching an idea for a blog post based on the history of "hentai" anime, reading the Cream Lemon Wikipedia page. Seeing this page reminded me of a long-standing limitation I have sensed with Wikipedia — not so much with this page specifically, as it's about 18+ anime, but with many topics, such as a more general anime, such as Gundam. That limitation is that there are often no images, or only the bare minimum of images, because (as I perceive) institutional shyness about not wanting to use any copyrighted image that isn't clearly in the public domain, despite it clearly being okay for an educational source such as Wikipedia to use any image of Amuro Ray (for example) that was from the show itself (e.g. not fanart).
One common use case for doing internet searches for me is google the characters of an anime so I don't make a mistake, referring to a character with the wrong name, which would embarrass me. If I needed to hit the List of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam characters page to check a character's visual image, well I'm not going to be rewarded as there are no images there. And so I have to google "Wikia mobile suit zeta gundam characters" to get actual visuals of the characters I need. Wikia type sites offer a lower quality than Wikipedia to my mind, but they are more useful as they're not "institutionally shy" about showing images.
I honestly don't expect much to change about Wikipedia. You are a big institution and have a certain way of thinking, and I've butted heads with your editors enough to know there would be resistance to making changes. I just wanted to point out what I consider to be the biggest limitation of Wikipedia, the general lack of useful visuals in many cases, which limits the kind of research I can do, and/or causes me to cross-reference research with other websites.

I know there's a noticeboard specifically for COI issues, but I'm really asking for the community's opinion rather than for some specific action to be taken. I observed the discussions leading up to Bnguyen1114 being banned from enwiki, on account of an arbitration committee opinion which the blocking admin explained as "Being part of someone's campaign team, paid or otherwise, does give rise to a COI." I found this surprising since taken at face value, this would prohibit me from editing articles about Sanders Bernie-san, Newman Marie-san and Bowman Jamaal-san simply because I did some GOTV, and since political opponents were mentioned in the above discussions I would also be unable to edit articles about anyone who ran for President in 2016 or 2020.

Regarding this article /info/en/?search=Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act , around last August I had stuck in a section called "Problems", specifically focusing on problems with how the ACA was working.
About a month later, there was a lot of back and forth between myself, and user:Newslinger over the content, resulting in an RFC, and several Teahouse visits. (As part of this, Newslinger had placed, at the initial stage, tags "biased", "original research", and "some unsound references", which have not been removed.)
In the end, no other editor sufficiently knowledgeable on the ACA structure was available to get involved or even made comments, so it was deadlocked between Newslinger and me, it was agreed between he/she and I that I would make removals, and remove less-reliable, redundant references, and also remove some numerical dollar-amount calculations, but the section would stay.
After making those changes, this was the section: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act&oldid=965614011#Problems
(pulled from archive).
The section stayed in since then, until I noticed it was removed July 2, 2020 by user:somedifferentstuff, (removal here: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act&type=revision&diff=965614396&oldid=965614011), with the reason note Problems: "Rmv mainly primary sourced section tagged for a year"
My assumption is this likely was sort of an accident by somedifferentstuff. The year old tags "biased", "original research", and "unreliable references" seemed to have caused the removal, without consideration as to the actual content. (In fact, "unreliable references" I should have removed myself, since I did remove those references as identified by Newslinger.) The other two I did not remove, nor did Newslinger. I did not remove them in order to truthfully leave visible to readers the view of one editor, Newslinger, that the content may have had those problems, even though he agreed to keep the section in.
In any case, those unremoved tags seem to have caused user:somedifferentstuff to delete the section. (As far as I can tell.)Though he/she may have had different reasons.
So, I'm trying to get the section restored, within Wikipedia democratic rules and procedures, of course.
I've started by placing a section in the ACA talk: /info/en/?search=Talk:Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act#Removal_of_ACA_Problems_Section_7%2F2%2F20--Questioning_That%2C_especially_pre-election
which, if I understand it, will "ping" user:somedifferentstuff for discussion. Also, other editors knowledgeable about the ACA may chime in.
However, if somedifferentstuff doesn't get back in a few days for discussion, can you tell me the next step? (I see there is an "undo" button on the changes, but I'm certainly not going to click on that without following authorized democratic Wikipedia procedures.

Hi,
I'm a "learner" stage editor, and just manually reverted several edits by someone who is using two IP addresses for ID. I'd only ever reverted vandalism and 1 instance of minor info in a lead, and I wasn't familiar with the 3RR rule and mistakenly edited 4 comments. I won't edit further, but need help dealing with that editor's edits, and s/he's repeatedly putting claims in the lead that aren't in the body / aren't sourced, some of which are also factually mistaken, and some of which I doubt belong in the lead at all. S/he has also reverted the reverts by me and another editor, considerably exceeding 3RR. The page where this is occurring: United_States_v._Flynn. I would have posted this to the WP:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring, but that says to let the other editor know, and I'm not sure how to do that when the person is using IP addresses for ID. This editor introduced a new section on the talk page about something else, and I decided to post a reply there – Talk:United_States_v._Flynn#We_need_to_describe_Turkish_firm_opinion – in an attempt to stop the edit warring and address the issue where there's sufficient space for discussion (s/he seems to want to discuss it in edit summaries). I haven't encountered this problem before and am not sure if I'm responding in the most productive way (e.g., to get the person's attention and shift it to discussion on the talk page), as I don't have a good handle on how people using IP addresses do/don't get alerts. I also don't know if I should have instead started a new section titled something like "edit warring." I'd appreciate some guidance. Thanks! -- FactOrOpinion ( talk) 15:48, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

I gave someone some comments on a photo which they posted in the 2020 United States House of Representatives elections and told them on their talk page to look at my comments on why I was removing it. I was very friendly about it, but the photo just didn’t fit in. Then, the person gave me a false quote saying that I only didn’t want it there because I disliked it. They also said to stop lecturing them. On top of that, they added the photo again. I tried explaining that I was not lecturing, but instead explaining my reasoning. Also I told them it was irrelevant (the photo) and that it was not just because I didn’t like it. I finally explained what edit warring was and how they should not add it again until a consensus has been reached. Then I got this message on my talk page, with the title ‘what is wrong with you’: “Are you somehow a bit out of your mind? I requested you to stop lecturing me, yet now you come back to my Talk page to lecture me again, while in the meanwhile somebody already removed the photograph and I, like I said, would and did not complain about it. What is wrong with you? Please stop your personal freak show and stop harassing me, or I will have measures taken against you. Who the hell do you think you are?” My question is if this person should be reported and if they broke any policy. Also, am I somehow in the wrong? I know that I didn’t do anything to get blocked, but maybe I didn’t follow procedure correctly. Personally I think this person is not editing in good faith and doesn’t want to work with other editors. Yes, the photo is gone, but this comment is too unnerving for me to just let it go. If anyone has any input, please let me know. Sorry for being so long, I wanted to make sure I told the entire story.

"What is wrong with you? Please stop your personal freak show and stop harassing me, or I will have measures taken against you. Who the hell do you think you are?". Because anyone can see that you and the other editor have had very little interaction, your immediate accusation of harassment and your threat to take 'measures' was extremely uncivil and unreasonable. Hence my observation that keeping thing WP:CIVIL is a policy requirement. I hope I have clarified things for you. Nick Moyes ( talk) 00:32, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
I had planned to create a new page from scratch for a recently-described genus of linyphiid spider, but I could not figure out how to properly code in a taxobox. I tried referencing the code from another page to see how the taxobox was structured and then implement it on the new page, but my efforts were for naught.
I might be missing the mark as far as troubleshooting goes, but it seemed that since the genus itself didn't have a linkable page yet, I couldn't get the taxobox for that same genus to work.

The second time the reason was that 'This draft has been resubmitted without any visible improvement, or with very little improvement.' I did however added footnotes and references as asked by the first rejection. The second rejection also said 'This draft does not appear to indicate which of the musical notability criteria is satisfied.'

/info/en/?search=Dave_Carter Page has been altered and undone a few times in relation to Carter's pronouns. Current edit states that expressed gender overrides assigned gender. I would appreciate clarification as to what Wiki is calling "expressed gender."
I was partnered with Carter professionally from 1996 until his death by heart attack in 2002, and personally from 1997- early 2002. Carter had not come out at the time of his death. He intended to release one more album of what he called "Lonesome Dave" songs (as male), then send me out on a solo tour while he focused on the transition. When s/he was ready to introduce the new identity, we would shift our musical configuration to an all-girl psychedelic country band.
The transition process was not public knowledge at the time of his death. His immediate family was completely unaware of his intention to transition. Only select friends, his healers/therapists, and our management team were in the loop. He did not have a name chosen.
Carter's death at the start of the transition process puts him and his transgendered identity in an unusual position -- a bardo. It is impossible to say where s/he would've landed. Possibly she; possibly non-binary. None of us can know. Up to the date of his death, Dave did not ask us to refer to him as anything other than Dave.
The section on Transgendered Identity on Dave's page is critical for the incredible depth and light it sheds on the work. Still, if "expressed gender" refers to how a person introduces themselves to the world, then it seems inappropriate to "express" Dave Carter as "she" because Dave did not do that. Had Dave survived, that was still a couple years off, based on my knowledge of his professional and personal goals.
Thank you for addressing this question. I look forward to the discussion. -tg Tracygrammer ( talk) 14:48, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

I have a question regarding a review that was added to this article:
/info/en/?search=The_Call_of_the_Wild:_Dog_of_the_Yukon
The Call of the Wild: Dog of the Yukon
The TVGUIDE.Com review for this title was published on May 10th, 2020. The film was released in 1997. The reviewer did not even get the release date of the film correct (they said 1996, but it was actually 1997). The reviewer took a line from the original New York Post review and poked fun at the film and the NYP review - more than 23 years later. I don't see why a review of a film - made 23 years after its original release - should be included in this article. Film tastes and styles change over the years, as do audience tastes and styles. It has been my experience that Wikipedia includes pertinent reviews of a film made just prior to - or shortly after - the film's original release, not more than 23 years later. This seems irregular, unfair to the original filmmakers and mean-spirited. I tried to remove the additional reference, which was reversed by user Marchjuly. I'd sincerely like to know why. RandySWT1 ( talk) 06:00, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
Well Nick Moyes, you are entitled to your perception. I don't have to agree with it. So you don't even know when the TV Guide.com review was written... interesting. So your research into using this reference is actually incomplete. And I think your Shakespeare example is ridiculous. The performance of Shakespeare's plays has been adjusted over time... to keep them accessible to the masses. A film typically exists as a reflection of a moment in time. The performances cannot be adjusted. If I decided that the Mona Lisa was a worthless waste of paint and canvas and wrote a review about it tomorrow, no doubt you would include it as a reflection of how the world at large views it? One review from one reviewer is hardly that. And that does not make the article fair and balanced. RandySWT1 ( talk) 17:42, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
Also, could we please add THE back to The Call of the Wild: Dog of the Yukon? That is the title of the film:

Hi! I wish to know that do we follow different standards for Biography of similar subject from same field , Country , posts held? What makes me ask this is I am being asked to furnish citations, clarification for my draft and similar subject being published. My draft was based on Biography of /info/en/?search=Ranbir_Chander_Sobti who happens to be from the same field, posts held & details. Unfortunately from my study ( subject ) for AfC there are many points for which I cannot provide citation like subjects place of Birth, Schooling. Subjects details or how a point is of significance ( When for people related to subject it makes quite significant ). All my citations are from 3rd party reliable source but for someone's schooling decades back, I cant provide source. Yes my user name is same as 1 of the subject's son, but it's a very common Name in India so there's no point of conflict of Interest. I know both the subject's 1 published & the one I'm working on, as I am a Researcher from same field i.e. Zoology ( Fish ) ( Fish Parasite's ).I am also a member of Indian National Science Congress too. Though I have worked on most of the issue raised by deleting many Important & significant points, Still I feel It's Important for the subject.

Yesterday, I edited United States v. Flynn, copying content from two other articles in this edit: [21], but also further editing some of the content that I'd copied in order to integrate it with the existing text on the destination page. I noted in my edit summary which pages I'd copied the content from, but I'm wondering now whether I should have copied the content and then further edited that copied content in separate edits, or if it's OK to copy and further edit in the same edit. I'm going to be doing some additional CWW with further editing, and before I do that, I figured that it would be good to double-check. On the one hand, for WP's copyright purposes, my guess is that it's OK to edit the copied content in the same edit that brought the copied content over; on the other hand, if someone is actually trying to figure out the editor(s) who originally introduced the material on the source page, that might be more straightforward if the copying and further editing occur in different edits. This isn't addressed on the CWW page, and I searched the Teahouse archives to see whether it had been addressed, but didn't find anything (no guarantee that I used effective search terms, though).

Hi; I feel like I should know the answer to this having been around a little while, so I feel a bit silly posting at the WP:Help desk. Hope it's okay to post here even though I'm not that new any more.
I created an AfD that was admittedly borderline (deliberately not linking it), and all four !votes have been to keep, but also don't really reference policy (indeed, one is straight out of WP:ATA). I can see that there is a case to be made for keeping the article, and I'd like to hear it, but the comments on the nomination definitely aren't it.
Is it appropriate to post it on, say, a relevant WikiProject talk page to gain further opinions? (It's already on all the relevant delsort pages.) I don't want to fall foul of WP:CANVASS, but I think comments from a few more-experienced people might be handy. YorkshireLad ✿ (talk) 18:19, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
The audience must not be selected on the basis of their opinions—for example, if notices are sent to editors who previously supported deleting an article, then identical notices should be sent to those who supported keeping it.

Hello, we are working with a group of scientists on a new article on genetic resources. Currently, there is only a disambiguation page with this name. We'd like to propose to rename that page into 'genetic resources - list' and create an article entitled 'genetic resources' with a definition, history etc. Is this a good approach? Anything we should do before we proceed with this change? Thank you, Ewa hermanowicz ( talk) 10:23, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Hey folks, happy to have this community to rely on for things like these.
I have recently published my first Wikipedia article, and it's about a company I work for. We are launching cutting-edge AI-powered mental health services. I just wanted to create a page for anyone who might google us, as a general reference.
I don't think my content was that salesy. I also added hyperlinks to Crunchbase and Linkedin, but apparently it wasn't enough.
What should I do to make sure it's published? 98.128.253.114 ( talk) 15:40, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

Good day. I submitted a draft article ( Edinburgh Festival Voluntary Guides Association) and this has now been accepted for publication. I now want to create a Redirect to this article from EFVGA. So I created a new draft ( Draft:EFVGA) containing only the following:
#REDIRECT [[Edinburgh Festival Voluntary Guides Association]]
I submitted this new page for publication. But I then saw a message saying that the page was unacceptable because it did not contain any citations.
So, my questions: (i) Did I follow the correct procedure? and if so (ii) What citations can I insert in a Redirect page?

All,
Need a support with a decline on this article. draft:Ravi Venkatesan.
Firstly, I understand that there are an inordinate number of requests similar to mine that this team would be getting on a daily basis. But, that said - please allow me to state some facts.
Notability
1. Industry: The person under question is a seasoned senior industry veteran in the Indian market. He has been the Co-Chairman of the Board of Infosys ltd (one of the largest Indian technology services firm), CEO / Chairman of Microsoft India, Chairman of the Board of Bank of Baroda (one of the largest Public Sector Banks in India - top 5 in the country by market capitilization), and Chairman of Cummins ltd. All of these by themselves make him an Industry leader of repute.
2. Government: In addition, he is currently driving the efforts of the Government task force for revival of MSME (micro, small, and medium enterprises), particularly in response to the COVID19 pandemic impact on these enterprises.
3. Venture Capital: He is also a venture capitalist with two leading early stage investment funds, contributing in part to the VC led funding boom that is currently being seen in India.
All of the points above satisfy the notability elements of the question.
Significant Coverage / Reliable Sources
Sources / coverage have spanned the following types of mediums.
1. Newspapers - Prominent Indian newspapers - e.g. Indian Express, Livemint, Economic Times
2. Citations from NGOs - e.g. Rockefeller Foundation
3. Links to Opinion articles / books - e.g. Economic Times, Amazon.
Regarding a statement in the templatized note that has been provided, the coverage in #1, #2, and #3 above are more than passing mentions.
Next Steps
Require assistance from this group on the specific edits that are required before this article can be approved. While appreciation of geographic context is not necessarily required for realizing that this person qualifies as a subject of interest, I am happy to add any additional context required.

Hi Guys,
I am a new user to Wikipedia and recently added some information about a South Asian caste/ethnic group ( Gujjars) with valid sources and references, however, another user has stated to me that WT:INB does not allow the discussion of genetics for individual castes which does not make sense to me, furthermore on WT:INB I did not find any discussion saying it is not allowed to add genetic information for individual castes. This article is within the scope of WT:INB as well as WikiProject Pakistan where the discussion of genetic information is allowed on articles. If there is a rule in Wikipedia that says such discussions are not allowed then I will remove the post otherwise if there is not then Wikipedia has to take some responsibility and acknowledge that they are suppressing the freedom of information which is the right of every human being.
My question is why are we not allowed to talk about genetics for individual castes as long as it is well referenced and without bias?

Hannibal was born in Carthage and Carthage was in African, therefore he was African. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Khrysvic ( talk • contribs) 18:08, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
hmm, it is like saying even though Gengis Khan was born in Asia, that it does not mean he looks like Asian people. if he was born in Africa to African parents, there is no way he was anything but Black, wouldnt you agree? the amount of paintings depicting him as white are obviously innacurate, just like the picture of Cesare Borgia that is used to depict Jesus as white, when there was no europeans in the middle east.Are we trying to depict accuracy on Wikipedia or not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Khrysvic ( talk • contribs) 18:32, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
As mentioned above, the current Egyptians are Arab invaders, and they came way after the era of Pharoahs etc. the african population back then was all black so for Hannibal Born in Africa 247 BC, its impossible that he looked nothing but black and even more impossible that any of the statues or pictures depicting him as white, could be even close to accurate — Preceding unsigned comment added by Khrysvic ( talk • contribs) 19:12 6 July 2020 (UTC)

There are at least a few users who think that the referencing for the article Speedrun is very bad. How would you go about improving it? Bear in mind that this topic doesn't always attract mainstream media attention, so the traditional high quality references are hard to come by. One of the references is to a google doc. I'm guessing that's bad practice, and I have some ideas why, but I'd like another opinion. AshSIreland ( talk) 22:48, 6 July 2020 (UTC)

I own an old family photograph of Jack Dempsey with members of my long deceased family preparing to go on a hunting expedition in northern Maine. My long deceased aunt gave me a list of the names of everybody in the photograph when I was a kid. I still have that list, too.
I posted the photo with mention of Dempsey's trips to Maine. I suggested that the trip in my photo was probably around 1924 but unverifiable. I listed the names of everybody in the photo.
It is known that Dempsey came to Maine on several occasions. There was even a dance hall in Moro Plantation with his name.
Anyway, why would my photo be removed? /info/en/?search=Jack_Dempsey

Reducing an image size I think that the image box portrait that I put in the article Ruth Clayton would be much better if reduced in size.

Indeed, an article has to be independently notable and/or important to be placed in the mainstream wiki. If you consider your article as notable, continue editing it until you think you have improved it, than either resubmit it or put it into mainstream wikipedia for it to be reviewed (though I advice you submit it for reviewing from a professional).

An editor has contacted me off-wiki about his/her issues with a specific user named Howard the Duck. I actually have the same sentiments. I have noticed in the past few months that this user has been aggressive that he resorts to using all caps (aka shouting) in requested move discussions, particularly in here: Talk:MRT_Line_3_(Metro_Manila)#Requested_move_5_May_2020. The reply at support number 3 here in Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Philippine Railways sounds like mockery. It's like assuming bad faith on all other editors. Now, user orders to close the Wikiproject Proposal that he did not start. Given the lockdowns still in place in the Philippines, it is possible that some editors might not be able to go online frequently.

I still believe these names, or spelling these out are the WP:COMMONNAME for these train lines.... so back to my point. At some point in history, the government used colors to distinguish the train lines. LRT-2 was purple, MRT-3 was yellow, PNR was orange, I forgot what LRT-1 was. (I think I got the colors mixed up. I'm sure though the LRT-2 was the "purple line".) Earlier, they used "Metrostar" and "Megatren" brandings for MRT-3 and LRT-2, respectively. So if I understand that naming these to "Line #" solves the issue of having to rename these lines every time, that's not the case, more to the fact that IT. IS. SIMPLY. NOT. THE. COMMON. NAME. FOR.

All,
I understand that you get this question from multiple folks. But, I wanted to state this here, to seek this forum's guidance. This note is about a page that I created for CB Insights, after seeing that CB Insights does not have an article, while their competitors e.g. Crunchbase and Owler had a wiki article.
Context
CB Insights is one of the top three (by usage and revenue) market intelligence platforms for tracking venture capital, and funding activities for private companies. Link from one of CB Insights' competitors here.
The company is considered a leader in its domain and a simple test would be searching CB Insights on Wikipedia and seeing the number of articles, particularly in the private equity, venture capital domains. Link here.
The company is quite a significant one in the private equity / venture capital / startup investments domain because it fills a void that very few can fill. i.e. market intelligence / venture capital information for private startups. Currently, they are tracking an annual revenue of ~$50 million, and have ~300 employees.
I received an update that the article is marked for deletion because of the following reason
Per WP:NCORP Nothing significantly notable that distinguishes this platform from similar platforms. (proposed by Comatmebro)
Sources
Sources for this article are quite diverse
1. Newspapers and Media: E.g. New York Times, TechCrunch
2. Market Intelligence Trackers: E.g. Crunchbase, Linkedin Company Intelligence
3. Other Advisory Firms: E.g. Pricewaterhouse Coopers
Next Steps
Please can someone help me on how best I can respond to this note to prevent this article from being deleted, and more importantly inputs on next steps towards review / approval.

Hi - I am trying to create a page for the company I work for (well-known, lots of public references, was surprised there wasn't already a wikipedia page). I am going through the steps to note that I have a conflict of interest in writing the article and I get as far as here:
You do not have permission to create this page, for the following reason: The page title or edit you have tried to create has been restricted to administrators at this time. It matches an entry on the local or global blacklists, which is usually used to prevent vandalism.
If you receive this message when trying to edit, create or move an existing page, follow these instructions:
Any administrator can create or move this page for you. Please post a request at the Administrators' noticeboard. You may also contact any administrator on their talk page or by email. Be sure to specify the exact title (especially by linking it) of the page you are trying to create or edit, and if it might be misunderstood (for example, an article with an unusual name), consider explaining briefly what you want to do. If you wrote any text, save it temporarily on your computer until you can edit the page.

Hi! So i read Terrorism in Indonesia list of attakcs is incomplete, because recently there was an attack towards police station on South Kalimantan.After i read about notability & read news about that particular events, i am sure that it deserves its place, but not sure as a new article or maybe just as an edit on page somewhere.
Details about that attack can be read here:
[6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]
Since i am a new member of Wikipedia and i'm afraid creating mess by wrong-editing, i feel not "correct person" to decide this & edit the particular thing.

Over 20 years ago I created and trademarked two words: NETWEAVING and NETWEAVER. NetWeaving is a Golden Rule and Pay It Forward form of networking. Whereas networking is self-focused. NetWeaving is all about helping someone else, either by connecting them with someone who can fulfill a need, problem or opportunity they have, OR providing them with some resource they need - no strings attached. I was the first elected president of the Pay It Forward Foundation and still serve on the non-profit foundation board created by Catherine Ryan Hyde, author of the book on which the concept is based. The NetWeaving International website is now a totally free website with no cookies and no tracking. Anyone can go and download two of the three books I have written "The Heart and Art of NetWeaving" and "Raising Your R&R Factor". If you 'google' the word, NetWeaving, you can see how it has spread around the world.
I hope that Wikipedia would agree that this concept deserves to be in Wikipedia. Our world needs so much more of this. How would I go about doing this?
Incidentally, SAP NetWeaver came about the same time I trademarked "NETWEAVING" and "NETWEAVER". They had evidently purchased the company who had the original tradmark. I was allowed the trademark since my NetWeaving concept was totally outside their use. I noticed several years after I spelled NetWeaver with a capital W, they started capitalizing it too. Also, with my permission, a non-profit organization "CEO Netweavers" was granted permission by me to use the Netweaver name.

There is no conflict of interest in that SAP Netweaver, which is already in Wikipedia, is a software platform and has nothing to do with my concept of NetWeaving which is social skill and lifelong practice that not only helps others but enriches your own life. If there had been a conflict, I never would have gotten the I could easily write the article or I saw that if I wanted someone else to write it, they could do that instead. I'm going on the Board of our large Property Owner's Assn which is going to eat up a lot of time. I would be willing to pay someone to write the article unless it would be preferable for me to write. I have many sources in which the article has either been featured or mentioned and as I checked this morning, when I googled 'netweaving', it shows 285,000 hits. Here is what is shown on the US Patent Office website.

I was given a note with instructions on how to add a signature to the "talk" pages, but never to use one when editing an article. When I edited an article, it flipped to the "talk" tab at the top of the page, so I added my signature, however it published the signature details on the article page. So I went back in and removed the signature. Can someone please clarify the difference between "talk" pages and "articles," so that I know when I should be adding my 4 tildes in as a signature? If I am editing an article that's already posted on Wikipedia, do I need to put " Karenpace ( talk) 21:29, 8 July 2020 (UTC)" at the end of my addition or changes? The instructions said to "add them at the end of my comment." However it's not a comment so much as an addition to an article.

Hello,
I come in peace... and I fully admit that I am not very familiar with how Wikipedia operates, I seem to have come up against some politics in the last few hours and after some research, I hope the community can help answer some questions I have and in the process, I hope I do not cause any offence.
Today I signed up with a brand new account with the intention to create an article about my Father, a noteworthy explorer, mountaineer and author. In my naivety, I had not realised my conflict of interest and had failed to cite and reference what I had written before submitting my unfinished draft: /info/en/?search=Draft:Martin_Moran_(mountaineer) This was of course rejected which is fair now I have educated myself a little.
I wanted to create a page for my Dad, Martin Moran who died last year in an accident in the Indian Himalaya and his body was never recovered. He was a well-known mountaineer, British Mountain Guide, author of 4 books and holds many first accents and achievements to his name.
I had no other intention other than wanting to consolidate my Father's legacy and life work in an article on this respected platform. As his daughter, I have no monetary or business-driven motive apart from giving him the notoriety I feel he deserves.
I am however still a little perplexed, my draft was rejected and I believe I am no longer able to write an article on this subject due to my relationship with the person of note. I also understand it is frowned upon to ask someone else to publish this article on my behalf. So I wondered if the community here can help, is there a way to request that a notable person has a presence on Wikipedia or does this come down to whether volunteer editors believe it noteworthy enough to create a page?
I certainly do not want to breach the rules od Wikipedia or risk have my any future articles about my Father removed - I hope someone can help.
Thanks

So, would the Qur'an recitations of the famous Egyptian qurras ( El Minshawi, Al Hussary, Abdul Basit Abdus Samad, Mustafa Ismail) fall under public domain too, especially since most of them published their works well before 2002 regardless of whether anyone claims legal rights to the recitals (record companies or firms that acquired rights to the recordings post their deaths or secured rights in other countries)?

I also had a live chat with a rep and that they have admitted these accounts, but claim it is allowed. On their FAQ, they say that wp:iarpermits them to do so, except they actually don't. What should I do now? The creeper2007 Talk! Be well, stay safe 18:21, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
Please excuse me if I don't know the english customs of Wiki.en that well. I don't understand the remarks. I write mainly in German. The article on Ali Kaaf was written after an interview in the studio of the German Foreign Ministry on the occasion of his scholarship. There is no takeover from the website. The written article is original and was translated by a native speaker Mitch. All facts are correct, including the titles of the pictures and names (the only word repetitions on the artist's website). The article was a lot of work. Also my efforts to get in contact with curb safe charmer via talk on June 16th didn't help, as he hasn't answered until today. Please help me, what else needs to be done? Thank you. --best regards~~ Artemesia ( talk) 11:39, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Hey there, I've written quite a few articles for the english wikipedia so far. Usually I'm more familiar with the german WP. What happened to my article Lorenz Kienzle (translation of german article I also wrote, but quite a few years ago) now in a so-called "review" is something I honestly would consider as vandalism. Anybody here who'd help me out? The vandalist in question added like 100 "citation needed" blocks, marked a source I actually possess as a real book (containing the pics in question) with a "failed verification" note and furthermore added those "citation needed" blocks in a way that the html shows in the reading mode. I have not seen any article on a living (or dead) artist that verifies every single exhibition the person has made and had with an extra source. Of course I included the person's website where these solo shows easily can be traced (apart from the books and catalogues that were published and are listed as well in the "publications" section). I'm quite pissed, but don't want to start an edit war by just reverting the edits. Anybody here who would take a look? Thanks a lot in advance ... Grizma ( talk) 20:58, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
The "citation needed" has been inserted many times inside the brackets of the wikilinks, the excessive use of the "citation needed" makes the article unreadable. I think this is very bad style and it creates a lot of work for both of us, fixing the wikilinks etc. I have no problem with including more sources, I have a problem with the style here. Usually a note is left on the discussion page that you can deal with instead of this disruptive use of the citation stamp. I will get in touch with the user, but I wanted to hear more opinions before. Are you really telling me I should list every single catalogue and book which is already in the "publications" list again in the references? That's just blowing up the references without any meaningful content. Check out these article: Peter Keetman, Herlinde Koelbl, Toni Schneiders, Peter Thomann, Gottfried Jäger.

There are two different romanised variants of Δημόπουλος: Demopoulos and Dimopoulos. If I wanted to create a list of people with the surname Demopoulos, would I create a separate article or add them to Dimopoulos. Considering Athina redirects to Athena, wouldn't it make sense to have one article for both variants?
In addition, the feminine suffix for Greek surnames ending in -poulos is -poulou, would someone with the surname Papadopoulou be part of a list of people with the surname Papasthatopoulos?

He is an internationally recognized educator and thought leader on the microbiome as it relates to health, disease and food systems. Dr. Bush founded *Seraphic Group and the non-profit Farmer’s Footprint to develop root-cause solutions for human and ecological health. His passion for education reaches across many disciplines, including topics such as the role of soil and water ecosystems in human genomics, immunity, and gut/brain health. His education has highlighted the need for a radical departure from chemical farming and pharmacy, and his ongoing efforts are providing a path for consumers, farmers, and mega-industries to work together for a healthy future for people and planet.
Dr. Zach Bush obtained his undergraduate degree from the University of Colorado. In 2002, he received his medical degree from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. Dr. Bush is triple board certified in Internal Medicine and Endocrinology and Metabolism from the University of Virginia Health System, and in Hospice/Palliative Care. In 2012, Dr. Bush discovered a family of carbon-based redox molecules made by bacteria.

I'm working on this article - /info/en/?search=Dorothy_Perkins and there is a paragraph with a citation that simply says "Former employee from 1966 - 1970". May I remove it since it is undocumented and seems to be a minor issue? I can't find any reliable source (or anything other than fake copying websites) when I googled "Margret Geraghty dorothy perkins"
"One newspaper advertisement for management trainees asked: 'Will curls come in? Will maxis make it?' However, the stores never really got to grips with sixties boutique culture. Author Margret Geraghty who worked there for a while in the late sixties remembers that all the sales staff had to wear nylon uniforms: 'They were cerise with a zip up the front. Forget dolly birds. They looked more like canteen assistants.' There were also blue nylon ones with zips down the back and turtle neck with bow, which were exceptionally hard to zip up, and the assistants used to have to zip each other up. The exception was the store manager, who was permitted to wear her own clothes. citation needed Ihaveadreamagain 20:42, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello,
I have been patrolling the edit filter and doing vandalism reversion and user warnings, etc. An IP attempted to vandalize, but it got disallowed by the edit filter. I left a level 1 edit filter warning on their talk page, followed by a level 2 after they repeated their actions a couple minutes later. An hour ago, they undid my edit adding the second warning.
I know that you can remove things from your talk page, (and that it is frowned upon), but I was wondering if it would be acceptable to add the warning back in, so that in case they continue to vandalize, all of their warnings are actually there? Or should I just leave them alone?

Hi All,
I patrol the dead end pages category and came across this article [ List of American Academy of Arts and Sciences members (2006 - 2019) ], which seems to be just a listing of all AAAS members by year (seemingly lifted from the AAAS website cited as the source); there are a couple of other similar articles, accessible from this 'TOC page' of sorts: [ List of American Academy of Arts and Sciences members ]. I'm guessing that many of the names on the list could be linked to existing articles (which would obviously be a mammoth task if done manually!), but before I even think of tackling that, I wanted to ask for advice on this, as I've never come across a page like this.
Hence my questions:

I am campaigning to create a feature film to educate everyone in America and beyond about the expendability of black people currently in the USA. Change has to come and alot of potential supporters are confusing the Black Lives Matter movement to the Black Lives Matter website that contributes to ActBlue, a political organization.
My film will be a unbiased report on this issue and the movement surrounding Black Lives Matter. I recently made the front page of the paper, Tuesday June 23 this year in the Daily/Sunday Review serving NEPA and upstate NY.
My purpose for requesting your help is to hopefully appeal to your better Angels regarding the systemic racism keeping artists that work as hard as I am from being heard on the same level as anyone else that works as hard and for this long. I primarily would like to not be confused by potential donors with the ActBlue website while fundraising on Facebook and other sites. Wikipedia gives this film and our cause legitimacy.
Please consider my request for help. I tried to write an article myself but was told it was not valid and only people with news articles about them are included on Wikipedia. Now that I have made the news can your website please grant me the same public acceptance as IMDB.com, The Daily/Sunday Review and Kickstarter.com granted my films.

Hello. Is it appropriate to remove the "needs additional citations for verification" template after adding references from RS, while leaving individual "citation needed" tags within the article? Or phrased another way, can an editor add RS references to an article, remove the broad banner at the top, and leave the individual citation needed tags? I sometimes feel that an article, in general, is adequately sourced after I add more references, but that old "citation needed" tags remain, often from years ago, both legitimately, and in some cases, due to edit warring, petulance, etc. Thank you.

Hi everyone,
Not sure if a content warning is necessary but as a heads up the page in question relates to child abuse.
I've read the page about the deletion of Wikipedia pages, but I feel like I must be missing something since the page in question was deleted 13 years ago and obviously hasn't been restored. So, I'm seeking a bit of clarity here before bothering the person who deleted it (thank you in advance!).
I've been recently trying to address issues on pages where children have been victimized - my goal is to help ensure that these pages are accurate, well-written, and properly sourced to respect these children's stories. I have noticed that the "See also" sections of pages detailing child abuse often have a relatively long list of related cases (e.g., the page detailing Nubia Barahona's murder). I thought it might be more expedient/tidy to create a list of incidents of child abuse. I then discovered that a page did formerly exist but was deleted in 2007 November with the admin leaving the comment, "hell no, WP:BLP".
I am a bit confused as to how this violates the biographies of living persons rules as it would be a collection of articles that already exist and (in my inexperienced opinion) appear to be well-sourced. In addition, a category to this effect already exists.
Can someone please help me understand?
Thanks again! A — Preceding unsigned comment added by ApplePiePoliceState ( talk • contribs) 01:35, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

First of all, let me say that I love Wikipedia and happily kick you $100 annually. I'm a blogger about Japan and anime and often use it to beef up my research on topics I write about.
I was researching an idea for a blog post based on the history of "hentai" anime, reading the Cream Lemon Wikipedia page. Seeing this page reminded me of a long-standing limitation I have sensed with Wikipedia — not so much with this page specifically, as it's about 18+ anime, but with many topics, such as a more general anime, such as Gundam. That limitation is that there are often no images, or only the bare minimum of images, because (as I perceive) institutional shyness about not wanting to use any copyrighted image that isn't clearly in the public domain, despite it clearly being okay for an educational source such as Wikipedia to use any image of Amuro Ray (for example) that was from the show itself (e.g. not fanart).
One common use case for doing internet searches for me is google the characters of an anime so I don't make a mistake, referring to a character with the wrong name, which would embarrass me. If I needed to hit the List of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam characters page to check a character's visual image, well I'm not going to be rewarded as there are no images there. And so I have to google "Wikia mobile suit zeta gundam characters" to get actual visuals of the characters I need. Wikia type sites offer a lower quality than Wikipedia to my mind, but they are more useful as they're not "institutionally shy" about showing images.
I honestly don't expect much to change about Wikipedia. You are a big institution and have a certain way of thinking, and I've butted heads with your editors enough to know there would be resistance to making changes. I just wanted to point out what I consider to be the biggest limitation of Wikipedia, the general lack of useful visuals in many cases, which limits the kind of research I can do, and/or causes me to cross-reference research with other websites.

I know there's a noticeboard specifically for COI issues, but I'm really asking for the community's opinion rather than for some specific action to be taken. I observed the discussions leading up to Bnguyen1114 being banned from enwiki, on account of an arbitration committee opinion which the blocking admin explained as "Being part of someone's campaign team, paid or otherwise, does give rise to a COI." I found this surprising since taken at face value, this would prohibit me from editing articles about Sanders Bernie-san, Newman Marie-san and Bowman Jamaal-san simply because I did some GOTV, and since political opponents were mentioned in the above discussions I would also be unable to edit articles about anyone who ran for President in 2016 or 2020.

Regarding this article /info/en/?search=Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act , around last August I had stuck in a section called "Problems", specifically focusing on problems with how the ACA was working.
About a month later, there was a lot of back and forth between myself, and user:Newslinger over the content, resulting in an RFC, and several Teahouse visits. (As part of this, Newslinger had placed, at the initial stage, tags "biased", "original research", and "some unsound references", which have not been removed.)
In the end, no other editor sufficiently knowledgeable on the ACA structure was available to get involved or even made comments, so it was deadlocked between Newslinger and me, it was agreed between he/she and I that I would make removals, and remove less-reliable, redundant references, and also remove some numerical dollar-amount calculations, but the section would stay.
After making those changes, this was the section: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act&oldid=965614011#Problems
(pulled from archive).
The section stayed in since then, until I noticed it was removed July 2, 2020 by user:somedifferentstuff, (removal here: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act&type=revision&diff=965614396&oldid=965614011), with the reason note Problems: "Rmv mainly primary sourced section tagged for a year"
My assumption is this likely was sort of an accident by somedifferentstuff. The year old tags "biased", "original research", and "unreliable references" seemed to have caused the removal, without consideration as to the actual content. (In fact, "unreliable references" I should have removed myself, since I did remove those references as identified by Newslinger.) The other two I did not remove, nor did Newslinger. I did not remove them in order to truthfully leave visible to readers the view of one editor, Newslinger, that the content may have had those problems, even though he agreed to keep the section in.
In any case, those unremoved tags seem to have caused user:somedifferentstuff to delete the section. (As far as I can tell.)Though he/she may have had different reasons.
So, I'm trying to get the section restored, within Wikipedia democratic rules and procedures, of course.
I've started by placing a section in the ACA talk: /info/en/?search=Talk:Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act#Removal_of_ACA_Problems_Section_7%2F2%2F20--Questioning_That%2C_especially_pre-election
which, if I understand it, will "ping" user:somedifferentstuff for discussion. Also, other editors knowledgeable about the ACA may chime in.
However, if somedifferentstuff doesn't get back in a few days for discussion, can you tell me the next step? (I see there is an "undo" button on the changes, but I'm certainly not going to click on that without following authorized democratic Wikipedia procedures.

Hi,
I'm a "learner" stage editor, and just manually reverted several edits by someone who is using two IP addresses for ID. I'd only ever reverted vandalism and 1 instance of minor info in a lead, and I wasn't familiar with the 3RR rule and mistakenly edited 4 comments. I won't edit further, but need help dealing with that editor's edits, and s/he's repeatedly putting claims in the lead that aren't in the body / aren't sourced, some of which are also factually mistaken, and some of which I doubt belong in the lead at all. S/he has also reverted the reverts by me and another editor, considerably exceeding 3RR. The page where this is occurring: United_States_v._Flynn. I would have posted this to the WP:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring, but that says to let the other editor know, and I'm not sure how to do that when the person is using IP addresses for ID. This editor introduced a new section on the talk page about something else, and I decided to post a reply there – Talk:United_States_v._Flynn#We_need_to_describe_Turkish_firm_opinion – in an attempt to stop the edit warring and address the issue where there's sufficient space for discussion (s/he seems to want to discuss it in edit summaries). I haven't encountered this problem before and am not sure if I'm responding in the most productive way (e.g., to get the person's attention and shift it to discussion on the talk page), as I don't have a good handle on how people using IP addresses do/don't get alerts. I also don't know if I should have instead started a new section titled something like "edit warring." I'd appreciate some guidance. Thanks! -- FactOrOpinion ( talk) 15:48, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

I gave someone some comments on a photo which they posted in the 2020 United States House of Representatives elections and told them on their talk page to look at my comments on why I was removing it. I was very friendly about it, but the photo just didn’t fit in. Then, the person gave me a false quote saying that I only didn’t want it there because I disliked it. They also said to stop lecturing them. On top of that, they added the photo again. I tried explaining that I was not lecturing, but instead explaining my reasoning. Also I told them it was irrelevant (the photo) and that it was not just because I didn’t like it. I finally explained what edit warring was and how they should not add it again until a consensus has been reached. Then I got this message on my talk page, with the title ‘what is wrong with you’: “Are you somehow a bit out of your mind? I requested you to stop lecturing me, yet now you come back to my Talk page to lecture me again, while in the meanwhile somebody already removed the photograph and I, like I said, would and did not complain about it. What is wrong with you? Please stop your personal freak show and stop harassing me, or I will have measures taken against you. Who the hell do you think you are?” My question is if this person should be reported and if they broke any policy. Also, am I somehow in the wrong? I know that I didn’t do anything to get blocked, but maybe I didn’t follow procedure correctly. Personally I think this person is not editing in good faith and doesn’t want to work with other editors. Yes, the photo is gone, but this comment is too unnerving for me to just let it go. If anyone has any input, please let me know. Sorry for being so long, I wanted to make sure I told the entire story.

"What is wrong with you? Please stop your personal freak show and stop harassing me, or I will have measures taken against you. Who the hell do you think you are?". Because anyone can see that you and the other editor have had very little interaction, your immediate accusation of harassment and your threat to take 'measures' was extremely uncivil and unreasonable. Hence my observation that keeping thing WP:CIVIL is a policy requirement. I hope I have clarified things for you. Nick Moyes ( talk) 00:32, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
I had planned to create a new page from scratch for a recently-described genus of linyphiid spider, but I could not figure out how to properly code in a taxobox. I tried referencing the code from another page to see how the taxobox was structured and then implement it on the new page, but my efforts were for naught.
I might be missing the mark as far as troubleshooting goes, but it seemed that since the genus itself didn't have a linkable page yet, I couldn't get the taxobox for that same genus to work.

The second time the reason was that 'This draft has been resubmitted without any visible improvement, or with very little improvement.' I did however added footnotes and references as asked by the first rejection.

/info/en/?search=Dave_Carter Page has been altered and undone a few times in relation to Carter's pronouns. Current edit states that expressed gender overrides assigned gender. I would appreciate clarification as to what Wiki is calling "expressed gender."
I was partnered with Carter professionally from 1996 until his death by heart attack in 2002, and personally from 1997- early 2002. Carter had not come out at the time of his death. He intended to release one more album of what he called "Lonesome Dave" songs (as male), then send me out on a solo tour while he focused on the transition. When s/he was ready to introduce the new identity, we would shift our musical configuration to an all-girl psychedelic country band.
The transition process was not public knowledge at the time of his death. His immediate family was completely unaware of his intention to transition. Only select friends, his healers/therapists, and our management team were in the loop. He did not have a name chosen.
Carter's death at the start of the transition process puts him and his transgendered identity in an unusual position -- a bardo. It is impossible to say where s/he would've landed. Possibly she; possibly non-binary. None of us can know. Up to the date of his death, Dave did not ask us to refer to him as anything other than Dave.
The section on Transgendered Identity on Dave's page is critical for the incredible depth and light it sheds on the work. Still, if "expressed gender" refers to how a person introduces themselves to the world, then it seems inappropriate to "express" Dave Carter as "she" because Dave did not do that. Had Dave survived, that was still a couple years off, based on my knowledge of his professional and personal goals.
Thank you for addressing this question. I look forward to the discussion. -tg Tracygrammer ( talk) 14:48, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

I have a question regarding a review that was added to this article:
/info/en/?search=The_Call_of_the_Wild:_Dog_of_the_Yukon
The Call of the Wild: Dog of the Yukon
The TVGUIDE.Com review for this title was published on May 10th, 2020. The film was released in 1997. The reviewer did not even get the release date of the film correct (they said 1996, but it was actually 1997). The reviewer took a line from the original New York Post review and poked fun at the film and the NYP review - more than 23 years later. I don't see why a review of a film - made 23 years after its original release - should be included in this article. Film tastes and styles change over the years, as do audience tastes and styles. It has been my experience that Wikipedia includes pertinent reviews of a film made just prior to - or shortly after - the film's original release, not more than 23 years later. This seems irregular, unfair to the original filmmakers and mean-spirited. I tried to remove the additional reference, which was reversed by user Marchjuly. I'd sincerely like to know why. RandySWT1 ( talk) 06:00, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
Well Nick Moyes, you are entitled to your perception. I don't have to agree with it. So you don't even know when the TV Guide.com review was written... interesting. So your research into using this reference is actually incomplete. And I think your Shakespeare example is ridiculous. The performance of Shakespeare's plays has been adjusted over time... to keep them accessible to the masses. A film typically exists as a reflection of a moment in time. The performances cannot be adjusted. If I decided that the Mona Lisa was a worthless waste of paint and canvas and wrote a review about it tomorrow, no doubt you would include it as a reflection of how the world at large views it? One review from one reviewer is hardly that. And that does not make the article fair and balanced. RandySWT1 ( talk) 17:42, 12 July 2020 (UTC)
Also, could we please add THE back to The Call of the Wild: Dog of the Yukon? That is the title of the film:

Hi! I wish to know that do we follow different standards for Biography of similar subject from same field , Country , posts held? What makes me ask this is I am being asked to furnish citations, clarification for my draft and similar subject being published. My draft was based on Biography of /info/en/?search=Ranbir_Chander_Sobti who happens to be from the same field, posts held & details. Unfortunately from my study ( subject ) for AfC there are many points for which I cannot provide citation like subjects place of Birth, Schooling. Subjects details or how a point is of significance ( When for people related to subject it makes quite significant ). All my citations are from 3rd party reliable source but for someone's schooling decades back, I cant provide source. Yes my user name is same as 1 of the subject's son, but it's a very common Name in India so there's no point of conflict of Interest. I know both the subject's 1 published & the one I'm working on, as I am a Researcher from same field i.e. Zoology ( Fish ) ( Fish Parasite's ).I am also a member of Indian National Science Congress too. Though I have worked on most of the issue raised by deleting many Important & significant points, Still I feel It's Important for the subject.

Yesterday, I edited United States v. Flynn, copying content from two other articles in this edit: [21], but also further editing some of the content that I'd copied in order to integrate it with the existing text on the destination page. I noted in my edit summary which pages I'd copied the content from, but I'm wondering now whether I should have copied the content and then further edited that copied content in separate edits, or if it's OK to copy and further edit in the same edit. I'm going to be doing some additional CWW with further editing, and before I do that, I figured that it would be good to double-check. On the one hand, for WP's copyright purposes, my guess is that it's OK to edit the copied content in the same edit that brought the copied content over; on the other hand, if someone is actually trying to figure out the editor(s) who originally introduced the material on the source page, that might be more straightforward if the copying and further editing occur in different edits. This isn't addressed on the CWW page, and I searched the Teahouse archives to see whether it had been addressed, but didn't find anything (no guarantee that I used effective search terms, though).

Hi; I feel like I should know the answer to this having been around a little while, so I feel a bit silly posting at the WP:Help desk. Hope it's okay to post here even though I'm not that new any more.
I created an AfD that was admittedly borderline (deliberately not linking it), and all four !votes have been to keep, but also don't really reference policy (indeed, one is straight out of WP:ATA). I can see that there is a case to be made for keeping the article, and I'd like to hear it, but the comments on the nomination definitely aren't it.
Is it appropriate to post it on, say, a relevant WikiProject talk page to gain further opinions? (It's already on all the relevant delsort pages.) I don't want to fall foul of WP:CANVASS, but I think comments from a few more-experienced people might be handy. YorkshireLad ✿ (talk) 18:19, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
The audience must not be selected on the basis of their opinions—for example, if notices are sent to editors who previously supported deleting an article, then identical notices should be sent to those who supported keeping it. Do not send notices to too many users, and do not send messages to users who have asked not to receive them.I hope this information is helpful. Mz7 ( talk) 21:07, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello again. I am wondering when and if it is appropriate to be using the № on English Wikipedia? Per the article /info/en/?search=Numero_sign it is not used in standard English or most European countries. The reason I am asking is yesterday I did a cleanup of Asia (1799 ship) in which one of the edits was converting the symbol to No. as it is commonly used in English. Another editor reverted my edit (which also included other edits to fix broken links and such) and has not fixed the article. I just wanted to find out before I go back to the article if I should change that back to No. or leave the glyph in place? Bakertheacre Chat/ What I Baked 22:22, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
