Hi I am looking for some help on my first wikipedia page. Its about one of the companies i started and i have a few sources that have written articles about us and i wanted some help.

Wikipedia's concept of notability calls for people not associated in any way with the topic to have published stuff. Interviews don't contribute to notability. See WP:TOOSOON. David notMD ( talk) 11:27, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
Good morning All, a couple of months ago I tried to edit my husband's Wikipedia. Unfortunately, much of the data is incorrect, and upon changing it I was "told off" by admin.

How to see the age of My Account?-- DeepGlow2009 ( talk • contribs)
I'm asking for my own learning purposes rather than to point any fingers, but this will make more sense if I do point to the draft in question, so here goes: please see Draft:Teenagers and sex. What would be the most appropriate way of handling this? If it were a user page, I'd request U5 speedy; if a published article, maybe A11. But presumably neither of those applies to drafts, and PROD isn't an option, either, so what should one do (other than just leaving it and moving on, that is)? Thanks.

what would you expect me to achieveThere are a lot of things someone your age can do to make the world a better place. Be a mentor for younger kids for one, either in person or online. When COVID clears up work at a summer camp or coach youth sports. People your age are much better able to "relate" to younger kids than most people who started school in the 20th century. Yes, I just said people your age are on average better at relating to younger kids than people my age are because of your age.

How do you properly format an article to work with Google's snippets? When I search for Wadsworth E. Pohl's birth date, it says the correct date, but below says he's 112 years old.

Some questions regarding article Sara Radstone, written by RSLLX. 1. Why has the ‘publications’ section been removed- ie all the books and monographs that feature her work? References were given ( page numbers were not given, although I have them.) 2. How does one create a dedicated section eg ‘Exhibitions’.?. this has also been removed. 3. Why is ‘conflict of interest mentioned? I have not bought any of her work and have no connections with galleries. 4. The importance of Verification beyond the ceramic world is mentioned by some wiki editors. Anyone who has awareness of ceramics knows how difficult a fine art definition for ceramics is, to quote Sarah Kent, ex Time Out Art Editor, ‘ it is clay, it is not art’. 5.

Hello - I think I just noticed a problem with a link in an article. The page is for "Dennis L. Montgomery" and if one scrolls down to the section entitled "eTreppid Technologies, LLC" then hovers over the link to "Warren G. Trepp", instead of getting the page for said "former chief junk bond trader", one gets this page:
/info/en/?search=William_G._Hundley#Legal_career
Hundley's Wiki page says he was a "criminal defense attorney" and mentions nothing about "junk bonds" so I assume it's safe to say that the link is wrong. But I don't know anything about these people, so I wouldn't feel comfortable just making a change myself even if I were an editor. Thank you. NoviceWikiUser ( talk) 19:02, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

On the odd occasion I will go to a Wikipedia page to be greeted by a nastily worded admonition that my changes have been reverted and flagged as vandalism and that I have been blocked for 2 days. Or something similar.
Given that I haven't changed a wikipedia entry in YEARS this is rather offputting.
I have in the past advised these over eager users not to rely on IP addresses to send these messages. In Australia where I live most internet users have dynamic addressing and unless the message is sent pretty much immediately after any changes have been made, your message will arrive on the screen of any one of 20 million random different people.
I have also advised these over eager users that if they do feel the need to send messages, and the why of this makes no sense to me at all, to at least assume good faith and to keep the message respectful and polite.
I stopped donating to Wikipedia because of this, despite it being one of my go to websites for information. I simply cannot financially support an organisation that allows users to send unwarranted and abusive messages to visitors to the site.
Wikipedia either needs to fix this at a structural level or registered users and moderators need to adopt a culture that considers this every bit as bad as the vandalism it seeks to prevent. 220.253.71.58 ( talk) 23:50, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi! I've never written an article for Wikipedia before, but I would like to write one. I'm not sure if the content I have in mind is notable, so I'm looking for some guidance.
I would like to write about my grandfather, Artur Müller. He was a Polish composer who emigrated to Brazil after the Second World War. He left an extensive musical output, some of which was published by independent editors and performed in theatres and concert halls, both in Brazil and in Poland (including a small opera). Much of his work explores and combines Polish and Brazilian themes and rhythms. I have in my possession a lot of material about him and his life, including newspaper and magazine articles and most of his scores. My goal is to give his life and work more visibility.
Thank you for any input!

Hi I created a new page - but it is still not showing in Wikipedia. How long does it take to get approved and for it to go public? Wardaraza7 ( talk) 12:01, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
I have just finished adding about 35 references on the Karen Earle Lile Article. This is the article where I am learning the best approach with references and writing, before creating any other articles. There are several references to interviews that were done by Karen Lile and Rick Tittle of sailing celebrities listed in the article, but I have only added one reference citation per interview, the one that has a dedicated page on Sail Sport Talk.
But, because these interviews are broadcast on multiple completely independent platforms and the archives are held by those platforms (iheart radio, tune in, etc), I could add additional references for each interview. But, it would mean adding about 30 more references. I was just trying to touch on a representative sample and the easiest way to find the recordings is through Sail Sport Talk, because it embeds some of the archives from iheart radio and vimeo inside a dedicated page that has the title of the person being interviewed. In contrast, iheart radio only preserves the date of the broadcast under "Sail Sport Talk with Karen Lile", and not all the guests interviewed are mentioned in the written text. So someone reading the wiki article would need to listen to the interview to confirm it is a reference. By listing the SailSportTalk.com page for the person being interviewed, all the interviews are embedded and listed by the names of the people being interviewed, so it is quickly apparent that the reference is connected to the claim in the wikipedia article, without the reader having to go to a lot of work to confirm it.
Do you think this is necessary and recommended to add several references to each item on the page, just for showing the many platforms that archive the syndicated show and the breadth of its reach on the web? I am thinking it might be more references than needed for this article (and a lot of work). I was just trying to touch on a representative sample. I would be willing to do it, but only if you think it is necessary.
I would welcome your guidance. My intention in listing these references and interviews is to show the historical context of Karen Lile's work, n in the broadcast history for Sail Sport by mentioning just a few highlights. Other's could add to the article if they think something important was left out. User:PattiWindSpirit PattiWindSpirit ( talk) 01:57, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
Courtesy: Draft:Karen Earle Lile has been Declined, more references added, Resubmitted. For references, quality over quantity. Listing people she interviewed does not belong in the article. Ditto listing where the show broadcast. Accomplishments of family members do not belong in the article. "In name only" references (content only briefly mentions her by name) do not contribute to Wikipedia's definition of notability. She may be notable, but there is too much clutter. Less is more. Also, section titles should be short and in sentence case, i.e., only first word capitalized. David notMD ( talk) 07:30, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

There are missing titles and there are books that are listed twice, these books have more than one story in them but it is the same book. The problem is that I have no idea when the books were released. I own the whole series of 58 books, so I do know what I am talking about.
So my question is it okay to list the books by author, get rid of all of the release date info, add the missing books, remove the incorrect listing of one book and remove the duplication of some of the books???

Hello, I would like to advocate forthe unblocking of the user 'Clockback'. How would I start this? J.Turner99 ( talk) 20:10, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
Clockback is therefor now “community blocked” meaning that only a future community discussion can result in their complete unblocking. They may still use UTRS to appeal the revocation of talk page access unless and until UTRS admins find their appeals disruptive. User:Beeblebrox ( talk) 19:22, 7 August 2018 (UTC). That is, have HIM - not you - start with UTRS to have talk page access restored, then HE can use that to talk to Beeblebrox or use {{ admin help}} to figure out what the next step is. At this point, the ball is in his court, not yours or mine. Oh, and one if the issues I noticed in the deletion review is WP:CANVASSING. He should take particular care to avoid anything that even resembles whatever it was that got him into trouble in the past.
It is something of an unofficial rule that after three bad/clueless/etc unblock requests, talk page access is revoked. Clockback, in between massive walls of text, had five requests rejected. Regarding the UTRS requests, I'm only seeing one, it was filed while the community discussion was still underway, and closed as rejected the day after that discussion was closed. It had to be rejected as he had just been community-blocked and a single admin at UTRS cannot overturn a community block. There are substantial notes from myself and two other admins, none of whom were involved in the original block, when deciding what to do with it. (I can't speak for everyone but I'm pretty sure my mind was not being controlled by the blocking admin, although of course if he was really good at mind control I'd be sure it was all my own idea. I guess we'll never know.) He could still ask via UTRS for talk page access back but without a community discussion this block isn't going to be lifted.

Photo to upload: I have an autographed photo of George Arthur Hunt that I'd like to put in his article. /info/en/?search=George_Hunt_(American_football) It is a professional photo of him in his UT uniform in the kick position. There are no copyright stamps or emblems on either side of the photo. George sent the photo to my mom back in 1970. She passed away in 2014. When I tried to upload the photo, I got a message that said I was not verified or confirmed yet. I set up my account a week or so ago: definitely more than the requisite four days indicated.

Is there a logical reason why there is not, and hasn't been an article on SuperMarioLogan? He's an extremely popular YouTuber who has been written about by trusted, popular sources such as Good Morning America, The Washington Post and Yahoo News! and is notable for many things including his bizarre medical history, controversy in mainstream media, and winning of an $800,000 auction for Tom Brady dinner. I tried creating an article about it which can be found here, and it was rejected for citing articles that apparently "did not focus on the subject enough." I am fully aware that my editing skills aren't always up to par, but it's kind of ridiculous Logan doesn't have a page after all that he's been involved in, and I am not a hardcore fan of his by any means. I know the answer definitely isn't "he isn't popular enough." He has twice as many subscribers as Corpse Husband. I just need some help and ideology on this issue.

So, I have just joined and asked a question on a talk page. I am currently in a debate with an admin and I think I may be operating under some false assumptions on how Wikipedia works. The edit that I am discussing is whether someone can be described as being a former member of a group when there is no available reference to say they have left said group. This is in regards to a terrorist organisation so I appreciate that it’s a topic which is sensitive. What proof would be required to definitively state that a person is still a member, or not, of a particular group? In this particular case, the person in question is described as a former member. To me that means the person must have left at some point. If there is no reference to them ever having left, should we describe them as a former member? The admin in question is stating that the group no longer exists which means de facto no one can be a member. However I have cited a government report that states the group does exist. The group itself states it does not exist, despite the government stating otherwise. Genuinely would like to understand where I am going wrong in my logic. Thank you in advance.

Yesterday I raised 5 questions raised by editors regarding my contribution art5icle 'Sara Radstone'. Today 'Vexations', kindly responded to one question, namely potential conflict of interest, due to the photographs contained within the article. These photographs were taken by me whilst there was an exhibition and Radstone's work was on show at York Art Gallery. There were no copyright issues involved and it was with the agreement of York gallery that photographs could be taken. I also used the wiki article 'Julian Stair' another modern ceramacist as a kind of template. This article similarly has a photograph of work near the beginning. RSLLX RSLLX ( talk) 16:30, 24 November 2020 (UTC) RSLLX ( talk) 16:30, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
'Cullen 328' has removed the photographic images from from my article 'Sara Radstone'. Without them the article is diminished almost to the point of being meaningless, because her work is so individual and certainly is far removed from most people's assumptions about clay, pottery, ceramics. This is compounded by the fact that the paragraph which is descriptive of her work and its content has also been removed.....I have no idea why. What matters to you, and to me, is the important issue of copyright. Please believe and understand that copyright agreement has been reached with Radstone. If I knew how to scan things in, which I requested previously on Teahouse talk page, I would do this. Agreement was reached with Radstone, and also discussed with her representing gallery, as well as York Art Gallery where the photos were taken. My frustration regarding the images and the removal of writing is increased when I remember that I referred to the Wikipedia pages of some of Radstone's ceramic colleagues, indeed peers and I believe friends, namely Julian Stair and Edmund de Waal. They quite rightly include images and detailed descriptions of their work; indeed, de Waal's page contains a photograph of the artist himself. Cullen 328 mentions the fact that images could be taken and reproduced on mugs, t-shirts etc. I imagine, when giving copyright permission, she would have thought about these issues and decided she would welcome such potential exposure, not least because it would raise her profile along with the value of her work.

You have mentioned Ayurveda as a pseudo science.Need you to correct the statement. Ayurveda ia ancient science.we have references of surgeries and mentions of multiple diseases which were recently discovered.Also, it emphasis more on prevention than cure philosophy.Need you to thoroughly review and edit articles before publishing it. 103.130.108.189 ( talk) 08:37, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
You can believe it's not pseudoscience all you want, and try to make the world reflect that agenda elsewhere, but Wikipedia articles reflect what a dialectic survey of reliable sources hold when it comes to the state of empirical scientific and medical reality, which, here, is that Ayurveda is indeed a pseudoscience.
The only way that could ever properly change is if you were to demonstrate Ayurveda's underpinnings as a science, and prove its efficacy using rigorous application of the scientific method, in a manner such that the wider world of mainstream, reliable scientific- and medical-based sources took note and changed their view of it – and not only that, but did so in such proportion, that calling it a pseudoscience would no longer reflect the mainstream view.
I do believe that that is an impossible task, because the empirical reality is otherwise, but in any event, that is the only way the article can be changed in the manner you desire. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 16:09, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
Article rejected but not explained why. I am very confused as to where I am supposed to write my paid disclosure. Told to put on talk or user page. I put it on my talk page along with the article I hoped to post. The message back was that it was not put in the right place. A further read of instructions point to posting the disclosure only after having edited an article. However, a previous message said that I should not bother with the 10 edits, which I had also asked about. So now I am even more confused. Am I dealing with a robot or a human being here?
I also referred to my "article" as a "profile" which also seems to be prohibited. It is no different than any other encyclopedic entry anywhere else. I sent the article along with the paid disclosure. Can someone explain to me what is wrong with it and the proper procedure? What are notable people supposed to do to be mentioned in the encyclodpedia? It is not advertising anything, it is strictly factual and neutral as per your specifications.

Morning everyone, I posted this on the chat earlier but it was disconnected so I don't know if anyone saw. I was wondering if any of you could properly check through an article I submitted yesterday. I had created it for my client (disclosed) and it was originally declined as sounding too much like PR. That's fair, so lots of editors then assisted in making it sound objective, which I appreciate, and suggestions on how it could be improved, which I followed. However, because I then made quite a few of the suggested changes, the person who originally declined it flagged it as COI, and one of their notes was that further external editors need to check through the article before removing the COI tag (and presumably, accepting the article). Can someone help here? /info/en/?search=Draft:Tim_Grayson_(poet)
Oh, and for full disclosure we also had a trust/impartiality issue with the editor who declined it yesterday, as they had tracked down my client on Twitter and called them a 'parasite' for me creating this, but I believe has been raised as a complaint with Wikipedia already.

Thanks for your help everyone. Just trying to prove notability to take it over the line now. In addition to the wayback machine link to the city council website, detailing his position as Cultural Ambassador for Poetry & Creative Writing, I believe I've now provided enough links to prove 'he is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors' (according to WP:Author anyway) - the references I've provided are from Dr Corinne Fowler, Dr Jessica Gossling, and Kathleen Rooney. He is also known for founding the Brothellian movement, which doesn't have a Wikipedia page in itself (yet) but its main show 'the Poetry Brothel' can be found all over the internet. As for details of the movement itself (with a direct link to Grayson), it has been referenced in a national newspaper (the Independent), the University of Leicester and Goldsmiths University, London. Would that also be included in originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique, too? The original tag was WP:Author but it looks like that was removed by another editor. If not, do you think it would be more preferable to resubmit using the entertainer tag, as he 'has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment'. I want to provide as much detail as possible so it doesn't get rejected again! Blackjackm1990 ( talk) 13:03, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Can a section title of an article's talk page modified if it may give a false impression to non-involved editors? For instance, a section title "Unnecessary Tagging" suggests that baseless tags were placed in the article. Especially, this is the case, if edits fixing the problems (that the tags indicated) are followed by edit summaries like "tag removed" and questions relating the tags are summarized in the edit summary (after the title "Unneccessary Tagging") as "another". I specifically write of cases, when the tags (or more than 90% of the tags) refer to actual problems. Thank you for your thoughts.

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. |
Before my edit: In Heroes in Another Dimension (takes place after the main story), Hyness and the Three Mage Sisters are corrupted and went to another dimension. So Kirby and his heroic Dream Friends have to travel four dimensions in order to unlock the final dimension and battle a corrupted form of Hyness and the other corrupted mages. If the player collects all 100 or more hearts, they can make Francisca, Flamberge and Zan Partizanne friends and send Kirby and his friends back to Dream Land. After my edit: In Heroes in Another Dimension, a challenge mode taking place after the main story, Hyness and the Three Mage Sisters become corrupted and are transported to another dimension. Kirby and his allies have to travel four dimensions in order to unlock the final dimension and battle a corrupted form of Hyness and the other corrupted mages. If the player collects 100 or more friend hearts (collectable versions of the hearts that Kirby throws), they unlock Francisca, Flamberge and Zan Partizanne as Dream Friends. |

I need to help understanding exactly what I'm missing in this article. Is it the subject, reference, or the person of interest? DECLINED this reason -This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

One more thing is the presentation. While it's true that presenting a general reference at the end of the draft to a naked URL – but one that is a reliable, secondary, and independent source that treats a topic in detail – is better than formatting a beautiful looking citation, but to to an unreliable, primary, connected source that only mentions a topic in passing, nevertheless, the naked URLs, only used in the form of general reference, are not helping either.
The ideal is the use of citations in the form of footnotes, associated directly in the text of the article with specific statements, so that a person can see which references cited are being use to support what statements, and that those references are presented with better attribution than is imparted by a naked link. For help with that, please visit: Help:Introduction to referencing with Wiki Markup/1.
Lastly, as an example, I'm going to end my signoff after this sentence with a footnote that will display below using a well formatted citation, and then a second footnote to the same source using its naked URL, so that you can compare for yourself.

I have just started reading the Wikipedia policies on adding reliable sources, biographies of living people, and editing, but as of today, I am still nervous about editing with additional information for figure skaters because even if there are no sources, multiple programs are missing and I don't want to get into trouble again just like I did a couple of weeks ago, which caused me to worry about editing more and more. If a figure skater has a blank short, free, or exhibition program, should I leave it blank and ask for help on those pages getting more information? There are some YouTube pages that feature music that we all have never added on those pages, but I just want to make sure that if some of those pages don't have reliable sources for the programs I should just leave them alone or receive permission to edit that page. I am very sincerely sorry about my activity lately, but I just felt that some of those pages needed more information and I was only trying to help.

The article contains unsourced statements—not just obviously, where a paragraph is stated with no citations—but a spot check immediately revealed paragraphs where citations appeared, but they each verified the preceding sentence only, and not other sentences interspersed (I also just removed from it an unsourced statement that sounded dubious and may very well be unreverted vandalism). I would expect before nominating, under basic due diligence, that you would take on a careful review that the current sourcing verifies the current content – which is no small task given the size (and if the deficiency in that area, upon my quick look, is at all representative).
Also, have you read its GA reassessment, where it was removed as a former good article, and multiple subsequent failed good articles nominations? (see the drop down list on the talk page template in the section with the symbol ). Certainly you should carefully read those and address anything left unaddressed.

There is a substantial table at Messier_object#Messier_objects, and I am struggling to understand how it works. According to Help:Introduction_to_tables_with_Wiki_Markup/2, a table starts a new row when there is an entry starting "|-". Yet the second row of this table, final column (Declination) is coded as "|−00° 49′ 23.7″". So my question is: how come that codes as a cell, and does not start a new row? Every time I try to code a cell with a negative value like this, it starts a new row instead. Gronk Oz ( talk) 11:22, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

I had posted a help request in a talk page weeks ago but there was no help, neither was a reply. I want to push or urge editors to help with the templates for American Idol results table and performances table, changing from a monochrome to the colorful one; this is because of consistencies and good clarity, and it has even been used on one other article. The last time the edit was on August and no progress was done ever since, and I was busy on real-life matters as well. This has to be done for other Idol seasons as well to further improve the article. I had asked the editors as well but neither action was taken because of other commitments.

Please help :-) I am a novice at Wikipedia and when I attempted to edit an incorrect website, Materialscientist removed the section that I had edited. I have written to him, but no response so far. How should I edit something like this correctly and how can we restore the section back to how it was?
Here is my email to Materialscientist ( /info/en/?search=User:Materialscientist)
"Hi Materialscientist
I am writing on behalf of Diamond Way Buddhism Cape Town and Diamond Way Buddhism South Africa.
I am new to editing Wikipedia and I noticed that the hyperlink on the Buddhism South Africa page [13] for "Diamond Way Buddhist Centre Cape Town" was incorrect. It was listed as http://www.buddhism-southafrica.org/en/ (incorrect) and it should be http://www.buddhism-southafrica.org (correct link). I simply tried to correct the website address.
It seems however, that when I made this change, you have reverted/deleted the entire section which listed all the Buddhist Centres in South Africa (not just ours).
You say that I must add a source, but I'm not sure exactly what you need, as I am new to this. What do I need to do in order for this section to be returned and for our correct webpage to be displayed?

Hello Fuhghettaboutit, both the films Coolie No. 1 (1995 film) and Coolie No. 1 (2020 film) are the remake of 1991 Telugu film Coolie No. 1 (1991 film). I made this edit in the Coolie No. 1 (2020 film) article. I have also added a reference to that. It is not a Tamil film. I reviewed the plots of the three films i.e, Telugu, Hindi and Tamil and found that Telugu and Hindi versions are similar. So, then I found that the Tamil film was remade only in Telugu with the name Chinna Alludu. So, as the article is semi-protected, please consider my edits or you may edit it. Looking Forward for positive result Tarunq ( talk) 10:50, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Regarding the topic of your post, before studying the issue in any detail, I can advise that when you wish to make an edit and others have reverted you, the usual best thing to do first is to open with discussion (see also WP:BRD), usually best initiated at the talk page of the article at issue – here, seemingly, Talk:Coolie No. 1 (2020 film). By the way, you mentioned that the article is semi-protected. That's true, but just means one needs to be autoconfirmed in order to edit – and you are.
At such a discussion, you can always "ping" targeted users to your post, such as those who have reverted you, by linking their usernames – just as you will have received a notification to this post because I started it with a template that provides such a link – i.e., "Hi {{U|Tarunq}}". (Make sure you sign correctly (~~~~) in the same edit that you link the username(s) and "publish changes", or the notification won't work.)
Turning to the specifics, I'm sorry but I'm not clear on the issues involved. The 2020 article, for example, already says that both are remakes, though it provides the nuance that the last is a remake of the 1995, which is itself a remake. There also appears to be an issue regarding the languages involved (Hindi, Kannada and so forth). In order to offer my opinion on a content issue or wade in – to support one side or the other; to take any action and to even know what action is proper, if at all – I really need to understand it well. For me to do that here would require a more time than I am willing to devote. I will say though (though I think you already know this), that often such content issues resolve on demonstrating that reliable sources support any desired change.

Hi all! This is such a blessing. I'd love to start contributing in cleaning up some of the space-related articles as I have some limited experience in proofreading and copy-editing. To this end, I was poking around some rocket launch pages and identified something that felt "off" to me as I read, so I checked the source and after doing some googling and digging (on the source's background; not sure how much of this is allowed. I don't think it's OR, just verification), it turned out the source had presented as an "independent fan site" but was run by a prestigious academic in rocket science at the premiere university in an authoritarian single-party country. It would seem to me NPOV is being violated here but I've only just started poking around at what the rules are and how to get someone with a little more experience to come along and take a look. But it looks like this is the real world and ain't nobody gonna help unless you start trying to swim first (invitation to The Teahouse notwithstanding ;]), so I'm reaching out here. Should hard assertions (around things like death count, hard science, etc) be left to the purview of a shaky source like that?

I see how you guys are of course correct in how things do work around here. It sure does seem that this is a method which invites the biases of the more entrenched editors. When there are dueling points of view both should be presented, not one over the other.

RNAIII inhibiting peptide (RIP), a global inhibitor of Staphylococcus aureus pathogenesis: structure and function analysis. Gov Y, Bitler A, Dell'Acqua G, Torres JV, Balaban N. Peptides. 2001 Oct;22(10):1609-20. doi: 10.1016/s0196-9781(01)00496-x. PMID: 11587789. In this paper it is reported that a heptapeptide, YSPWTNF, is an inhibitor of RNAIII synthesis. The following story negates this claim, as follows: Most staphylococcal species contain a global regulatory locus known as agr, discovered in parallel by Staffan Arvidson (Karolinska) and myself (see my recent wiki article "accessory gene regulator"), which acts by a quorum-sensing two-component signal transduction module that is induced by a peptide whose synthesis is also encoded within the agr locus. Variant homologs of this peptide are produced by all strains that contain an agr homolog. In general, the AIPs are cross-inhibitory in heterologous combinations. In our strain collection was one strain, RN833, whose peptide was a very strong inhibitor of all S. aureus strains tested and was therefore worthy of investigation. This inhibitory activity was readily demonstrated with culture supernatants, and was purified in the late 90's and sequenced by Edman degradation. The sequence came out YSPXTNF, where X could be either cysteine or tryptophan. By cloning and DNA sequencing, the agr AIP of R833 was found to be YSPCTNF and its activity highly alkali sensitive. suggesting a thiolactone ring. This was confirmed by in vitro synthesis by Tom Muir, then at Rockefeller. This structure is conserved in all but one staph species (The S.intermedius AIP has a serine, forming a lactone rather than a thiolactone ring). In the Gov, et al paper, YSPWTNF was synthesized and purportedly shown to inhibit RNAIII synthesis; however, a careful reading reveals that in the key experiment, demonstrating inhibition of RNAIII synthesis by Southern blotting, they used the native peptide (obtained from a strain RN833 supernatant) rather than their synthetic peptide - which can ONLY mean that the synthetic peptide did not work (incidentally, linear peptides generally do not inhibit RNAIII synthesis). Going forward, they have insisted that their peptide was not, in fact, an agr-coded AIP but was encoded by an unlinked gene. However, there is no coding sequence for YSPWTNF in any staphylococcal sequence in GenBank and we actually sequenced the RN833 chromosome and found the coding sequence for YSPCTNF in the agr locus but not the W variant; and RN833 produces a typical agr AIP. (incidentally, RN833 is actually a strain of S.warnerii, rather than S.aureus, though it had been sent to us as S. aureus) . On the basis of this dishonest experiment, these authors and their colleagues have developed a spurious and wide-ranging enterprise based on "RIP, the RNBAIII-inhibiting peptide". There is much more to this story, but I think this should suffice for the moment. In any case, I am always deeply concerned when I see references to these papers (although some of the findings may be legitimate, the intellectual basis - RNAIII-inhibiting peptide - is not). Three papers debunking part of this enterprise were published a few years ago, but this has not inhibited continued referencing. I will shortly add these to my comment.

I created the draft back in October so I could have people edit it.

Good day,
My page was today deleted by user Maile66, it was also reviewed by other user before.
There was no explanation besides that : Wiki does not support. Wiki is MAIN sourse of free knowledge. And that information does not exist. The post was well documented and it does exist as documentation. They mention that wiki is not a place to Host information, and that it is 'my responsibility.'

Cullen328 took out images of Sara Radstone’s work, them having been on for a couple of weeks and seen by a number of editors, on the grounds of image copyright release from the artist, namely Sara Radstone. I have been informed that she has sent a personal email to that effect, including such issues as OTRS and releasing such copyright under the standard CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence, therefore I presume the two images and captions can now be restored to the article. Also I noticed that at present there is no ‘google’ link to Wikipedia when one googled Sara Radstone, how long does it take for this to occur? Thanks!

Hi! I'm stuck. I want to cite one source more than once but don't know how. I read the page and don't understand it. I don't know how to put in a ref name, and I'm using cite web. Please help! Dswitz10734 ( talk) 16:02, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Check the article ARIA Music Awards, specifically the section Most Awards/Nominations. This table shows the highest awarded artists (provided they have won at least six). The References column contains 41 cluster refs with some artists (e.g. Paul Kelly) requiring some 30 sub refs. These same sub refs are used repeatedly in the table thereby causing the article to become far too big. I get the idea that this was done so that the each artist's articles could use the relevant cluster ref to support claims of their wins/noms.

I am trying to correct the naming of Bill_Hopkins_(composer)
He was born George William Hopkins. Was known to friends as Bill Hopkins and published his compositions (his most important work) under that name. He wrote professionally as a newspaper critic and used there the name "G. W. Hopkins", whom he said 'never wrote a note in his life'. So definitely a professional pseudonym.
'G.W. "Bill" Hopkins (5 June 1943 – 10 March 1981) was a British composer and music critic.' doesn't seem at all right.

Hi there,
I noticed that the official NFL Podcast network does not have any Wikipedia articles and after searching around the internet for a while, think that they really belong on here. Would these be considered "notable" enough to add?
The Flagship, "Around the NFL" typically rates highly on Apple Podcast charts, as do "Move the Sticks" and "NFL Fantasy Football Podcast". I'd love to work on these articles, but don't want to if they're likely to be removed. Any thoughts on whether these are worthwhile?

I just created a new article, Deerfield Society of Arts and Crafts, and it struck me when I was considering categories that it might be appropriate to have an Arts and Crafts Movement category, just as there is a Colonial Revival Movement category. But before I rush in and add this, I thought it best to ask if there might be a reason there isn't such a category (such as it being too broad)? If it is a feasible addition (I can think of other articles where it would be appropriate), would some corresponding page listing the articles so ctegorized be needed? Does something like this have a go through review by members of a project? I appreciate any guidance I can get, so I can learn for the next time! Thank you.

Hi! I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question (please let me know if its not!) I'm hoping to write a more substantial page on the US Government's 1837 treaty with the Ojibwe people in what is now Minnesota and Wisconsin. This treaty is currently referenced in a page about a few treaties that share their most formal name, Treaty of St Peters. I would like create a new page and move the existing text about this treaty to that new page where I'll refer to it by its distinct, more informal, but widely recognized title "The White Pine Treaty." I know that in moving entire pages you're not supposed to copy and paste the content so that the editing history is preserved. In this case, however, where I only want to move some sections of an existing page to a new one I'm curious what the procedure is. Additionally, is the sort of thing that other Wikipedians with more experience could help me sort out so I don't lose any content in my learning? Eharris33 ( talk) 17:18, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

It's quite easy to find stubs to work on, but is there a guideline for de-stubbing? Is it only the jurisdiction of affiliated Wiki-projects? Is it poor taste for the person who added refs/material to 'rank up' an article themselves? Or is removing stub notices considered a low-priority task?
Best, Estheim ( talk) 09:14, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
@ Estheim: See WP:DESTUB and WP:RATER for advice and a useful tool, respectively. Don't forget to remove any stub template from the bottom of any article as well as the stub rating on the talk page (I so often forget about the article templates!) The fantastic things about improving and simultaneously removing stub templates is that not only enhances the encyclopaedia in a fast and effective way, but it also helps other people who like to work on groups of articles in WikiProjects. One good tip is to work through all the most important articles within any given WikiProject that interests you is to check that they genuinely still are Stub-rated. They might well have been improved but never upgraded. See this guidance which I wrote on using the Quality Assessment Table to help you find the most worthwhile stub articles to work on.

After receiving the comments, I realised that there is a different way to how to write things. I changed it and rewrote the whole thing according to Wikipedia guidelines in the best way I could. Now, my question is; The subject I’m writing about is a modality created by my teacher. I’m not writing about my teacher. I’m writing about a psychotherapeutic process which is in use in the world, created by her. I was just wondering if it’s still considered writing about a close person, although it’s not written about a person? Although it’s not the main modality I use,( or you can call it like an intervention technique, with it’s own rules, like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Hypnotherapy etc) it’s partially what I do in my profession. My main job is Clinical Hypnotherapy. So, with this in light, Which option I should pick. Article is not about me, this article is about me or somebody close to me?

Good morning All, a couple of months ago I tried to edit my husband's Wikipedia. Unfortunately, much of the data is incorrect, and upon changing it I was "told off" by admin.

How to see the age of My Account?-- DeepGlow2009 ( talk • contribs)
I'm asking for my own learning purposes rather than to point any fingers, but this will make more sense if I do point to the draft in question, so here goes: please see Draft:Teenagers and sex. What would be the most appropriate way of handling this? If it were a user page, I'd request U5 speedy; if a published article, maybe A11. But presumably neither of those applies to drafts, and PROD isn't an option, either, so what should one do (other than just leaving it and moving on, that is)? Thanks.

When COVID clears up work at a summer camp or coach youth sports. People your age are much better able to "relate" to younger kids than most people who started school in the 20th century.

Some questions regarding article Sara Radstone, written by RSLLX. 1. Why has the ‘publications’ section been removed- ie all the books and monographs that feature her work?

Hello - I think I just noticed a problem with a link in an article. The page is for "Dennis L. Montgomery" and if one scrolls down to the section entitled "eTreppid Technologies, LLC" then hovers over the link to "Warren G. Trepp", instead of getting the page for said "former chief junk bond trader", one gets this page:
/info/en/?search=William_G._Hundley#Legal_career
Hundley's Wiki page says he was a "criminal defense attorney" and mentions nothing about "junk bonds" so I assume it's safe to say that the link is wrong. But I don't know anything about these people, so I wouldn't feel comfortable just making a change myself even if I were an editor. Thank you. NoviceWikiUser ( talk) 19:02, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

On the odd occasion I will go to a Wikipedia page to be greeted by a nastily worded admonition that my changes have been reverted and flagged as vandalism and that I have been blocked for 2 days. Or something similar.
Given that I haven't changed a wikipedia entry in YEARS this is rather offputting.
I have in the past advised these over eager users not to rely on IP addresses to send these messages. In Australia where I live most internet users have dynamic addressing and unless the message is sent pretty much immediately after any changes have been made, your message will arrive on the screen of any one of 20 million random different people.
I have also advised these over eager users that if they do feel the need to send messages, and the why of this makes no sense to me at all, to at least assume good faith and to keep the message respectful and polite.
I stopped donating to Wikipedia because of this, despite it being one of my go to websites for information. I simply cannot financially support an organisation that allows users to send unwarranted and abusive messages to visitors to the site.
Wikipedia either needs to fix this at a structural level or registered users and moderators need to adopt a culture that considers this every bit as bad as the vandalism it seeks to prevent. 220.253.71.58 ( talk) 23:50, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi! I've never written an article for Wikipedia before, but I would like to write one. I'm not sure if the content I have in mind is notable, so I'm looking for some guidance.
I would like to write about my grandfather, Artur Müller. He was a Polish composer who emigrated to Brazil after the Second World War. He left an extensive musical output, some of which was published by independent editors and performed in theatres and concert halls, both in Brazil and in Poland (including a small opera). Much of his work explores and combines Polish and Brazilian themes and rhythms. I have in my possession a lot of material about him and his life, including newspaper and magazine articles and most of his scores. My goal is to give his life and work more visibility.
Thank you for any input!

Hi I created a new page - but it is still not showing in Wikipedia. How long does it take to get approved and for it to go public? Wardaraza7 ( talk) 12:01, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
I have just finished adding about 35 references on the Karen Earle Lile Article. This is the article where I am learning the best approach with references and writing, before creating any other articles. There are several references to interviews that were done by Karen Lile and Rick Tittle of sailing celebrities listed in the article, but I have only added one reference citation per interview, the one that has a dedicated page on Sail Sport Talk.
But, because these interviews are broadcast on multiple completely independent platforms and the archives are held by those platforms (iheart radio, tune in, etc), I could add additional references for each interview. But, it would mean adding about 30 more references. I was just trying to touch on a representative sample and the easiest way to find the recordings is through Sail Sport Talk, because it embeds some of the archives from iheart radio and vimeo inside a dedicated page that has the title of the person being interviewed. In contrast, iheart radio only preserves the date of the broadcast under "Sail Sport Talk with Karen Lile", and not all the guests interviewed are mentioned in the written text. So someone reading the wiki article would need to listen to the interview to confirm it is a reference. By listing the SailSportTalk.com page for the person being interviewed, all the interviews are embedded and listed by the names of the people being interviewed, so it is quickly apparent that the reference is connected to the claim in the wikipedia article, without the reader having to go to a lot of work to confirm it.
Do you think this is necessary and recommended to add several references to each item on the page, just for showing the many platforms that archive the syndicated show and the breadth of its reach on the web? I am thinking it might be more references than needed for this article (and a lot of work). I was just trying to touch on a representative sample. I would be willing to do it, but only if you think it is necessary.
I would welcome your guidance. My intention in listing these references and interviews is to show the historical context of Karen Lile's work, n in the broadcast history for Sail Sport by mentioning just a few highlights. Other's could add to the article if they think something important was left out. User:PattiWindSpirit PattiWindSpirit ( talk) 01:57, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
Courtesy: Draft:Karen Earle Lile has been Declined, more references added, Resubmitted. For references, quality over quantity. Listing people she interviewed does not belong in the article. Ditto listing where the show broadcast. Accomplishments of family members do not belong in the article. "In name only" references (content only briefly mentions her by name) do not contribute to Wikipedia's definition of notability. She may be notable, but there is too much clutter. Less is more. Also, section titles should be short and in sentence case, i.e., only first word capitalized. David notMD ( talk) 07:30, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Clockback is therefor now “community blocked” meaning that only a future community discussion can result in their complete unblocking. They may still use UTRS to appeal the revocation of talk page access unless and until UTRS admins find their appeals disruptive. User:Beeblebrox ( talk) 19:22, 7 August 2018 (UTC). That is, have HIM - not you - start with UTRS to have talk page access restored, then HE can use that to talk to Beeblebrox or use {{ admin help}} to figure out what the next step is. At this point, the ball is in his court, not yours or mine. Oh, and one if the issues I noticed in the deletion review is WP:CANVASSING. He should take particular care to avoid anything that even resembles whatever it was that got him into trouble in the past.
It is something of an unofficial rule that after three bad/clueless/etc unblock requests, talk page access is revoked. Clockback, in between massive walls of text, had five requests rejected. Regarding the UTRS requests, I'm only seeing one, it was filed while the community discussion was still underway, and closed as rejected the day after that discussion was closed. It had to be rejected as he had just been community-blocked and a single admin at UTRS cannot overturn a community block. There are substantial notes from myself and two other admins, none of whom were involved in the original block, when deciding what to do with it. (I can't speak for everyone but I'm pretty sure my mind was not being controlled by the blocking admin, although of course if he was really good at mind control I'd be sure it was all my own idea. I guess we'll never know.) He could still ask via UTRS for talk page access back but without a community discussion this block isn't going to be lifted.

Photo to upload: I have an autographed photo of George Arthur Hunt that I'd like to put in his article. /info/en/?search=George_Hunt_(American_football) It is a professional photo of him in his UT uniform in the kick position. There are no copyright stamps or emblems on either side of the photo. George sent the photo to my mom back in 1970. She passed away in 2014. When I tried to upload the photo, I got a message that said I was not verified or confirmed yet. I set up my account a week or so ago: definitely more than the requisite four days indicated.

Is there a logical reason why there is not, and hasn't been an article on SuperMarioLogan? He's an extremely popular YouTuber who has been written about by trusted, popular sources such as Good Morning America, The Washington Post and Yahoo News! and is notable for many things including his bizarre medical history, controversy in mainstream media, and winning of an $800,000 auction for Tom Brady dinner. I tried creating an article about it which can be found here, and it was rejected for citing articles that apparently "did not focus on the subject enough." I am fully aware that my editing skills aren't always up to par, but it's kind of ridiculous Logan doesn't have a page after all that he's been involved in, and I am not a hardcore fan of his by any means. I know the answer definitely isn't "he isn't popular enough." He has twice as many subscribers as Corpse Husband. I just need some help and ideology on this issue.

So, I have just joined and asked a question on a talk page. I am currently in a debate with an admin and I think I may be operating under some false assumptions on how Wikipedia works. The edit that I am discussing is whether someone can be described as being a former member of a group when there is no available reference to say they have left said group. This is in regards to a terrorist organisation so I appreciate that it’s a topic which is sensitive. What proof would be required to definitively state that a person is still a member, or not, of a particular group? In this particular case, the person in question is described as a former member. To me that means the person must have left at some point. If there is no reference to them ever having left, should we describe them as a former member? The admin in question is stating that the group no longer exists which means de facto no one can be a member. However I have cited a government report that states the group does exist. The group itself states it does not exist, despite the government stating otherwise. Genuinely would like to understand where I am going wrong in my logic. Thank you in advance.

Some person named Jacob Gotts messaged me to roll back my changes to the Spectacle Theater wikipedia page. Specifically, the old version claims the theater is BYOB and cites a link that makes no mention of any BYOB policy.

Yesterday I raised 5 questions raised by editors regarding my contribution art5icle 'Sara Radstone'. Today 'Vexations', kindly responded to one question, namely potential conflict of interest, due to the photographs contained within the article. These photographs were taken by me whilst there was an exhibition and Radstone's work was on show at York Art Gallery. There were no copyright issues involved and it was with the agreement of York gallery that photographs could be taken. I also used the wiki article 'Julian Stair' another modern ceramacist as a kind of template. This article similarly has a photograph of work near the beginning. RSLLX RSLLX ( talk) 16:30, 24 November 2020 (UTC) RSLLX ( talk) 16:30, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
'Cullen 328' has removed the photographic images from from my article 'Sara Radstone'. Without them the article is diminished almost to the point of being meaningless, because her work is so individual and certainly is far removed from most people's assumptions about clay, pottery, ceramics. This is compounded by the fact that the paragraph which is descriptive of her work and its content has also been removed.....I have no idea why. What matters to you, and to me, is the important issue of copyright. Please believe and understand that copyright agreement has been reached with Radstone. If I knew how to scan things in, which I requested previously on Teahouse talk page, I would do this. Agreement was reached with Radstone, and also discussed with her representing gallery, as well as York Art Gallery where the photos were taken. My frustration regarding the images and the removal of writing is increased when I remember that I referred to the Wikipedia pages of some of Radstone's ceramic colleagues, indeed peers and I believe friends, namely Julian Stair and Edmund de Waal. They quite rightly include images and detailed descriptions of their work; indeed, de Waal's page contains a photograph of the artist himself. Cullen 328 mentions the fact that images could be taken and reproduced on mugs, t-shirts etc. I imagine, when giving copyright permission, she would have thought about these issues and decided she would welcome such potential exposure, not least because it would raise her profile along with the value of her work.

You have mentioned Ayurveda as a pseudo science.Need you to correct the statement. Ayurveda ia ancient science.we have references of surgeries and mentions of multiple diseases which were recently discovered.Also, it emphasis more on prevention than cure philosophy.Need you to thoroughly review and edit articles before publishing it. 103.130.108.189 ( talk) 08:37, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
You can believe it's not pseudoscience all you want, and try to make the world reflect that agenda elsewhere, but Wikipedia articles reflect what a dialectic survey of reliable sources hold when it comes to the state of empirical scientific and medical reality, which, here, is that Ayurveda is indeed a pseudoscience.
The only way that could ever properly change is if you were to demonstrate Ayurveda's underpinnings as a science, and prove its efficacy using rigorous application of the scientific method, in a manner such that the wider world of mainstream, reliable scientific- and medical-based sources took note and changed their view of it – and not only that, but did so in such proportion, that calling it a pseudoscience would no longer reflect the mainstream view.
I do believe that that is an impossible task, because the empirical reality is otherwise, but in any event, that is the only way the article can be changed in the manner you desire. Best regards-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 16:09, 26 November 2020 (UTC)
Article rejected but not explained why. I am very confused as to where I am supposed to write my paid disclosure. Told to put on talk or user page. I put it on my talk page along with the article I hoped to post. The message back was that it was not put in the right place. A further read of instructions point to posting the disclosure only after having edited an article. However, a previous message said that I should not bother with the 10 edits, which I had also asked about. So now I am even more confused. Am I dealing with a robot or a human being here?
I also referred to my "article" as a "profile" which also seems to be prohibited. It is no different than any other encyclopedic entry anywhere else. I sent the article along with the paid disclosure. Can someone explain to me what is wrong with it and the proper procedure? What are notable people supposed to do to be mentioned in the encyclodpedia? It is not advertising anything, it is strictly factual and neutral as per your specifications.

Morning everyone, I posted this on the chat earlier but it was disconnected so I don't know if anyone saw. I was wondering if any of you could properly check through an article I submitted yesterday. I had created it for my client (disclosed) and it was originally declined as sounding too much like PR. That's fair, so lots of editors then assisted in making it sound objective, which I appreciate, and suggestions on how it could be improved, which I followed. However, because I then made quite a few of the suggested changes, the person who originally declined it flagged it as COI, and one of their notes was that further external editors need to check through the article before removing the COI tag (and presumably, accepting the article). Can someone help here? /info/en/?search=Draft:Tim_Grayson_(poet)
Oh, and for full disclosure we also had a trust/impartiality issue with the editor who declined it yesterday, as they had tracked down my client on Twitter and called them a 'parasite' for me creating this, but I believe has been raised as a complaint with Wikipedia already.

Thanks for your help everyone. Just trying to prove notability to take it over the line now. In addition to the wayback machine link to the city council website, detailing his position as Cultural Ambassador for Poetry & Creative Writing, I believe I've now provided enough links to prove 'he is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors' (according to WP:Author anyway) - the references I've provided are from Dr Corinne Fowler, Dr Jessica Gossling, and Kathleen Rooney. He is also known for founding the Brothellian movement, which doesn't have a Wikipedia page in itself (yet) but its main show 'the Poetry Brothel' can be found all over the internet. As for details of the movement itself (with a direct link to Grayson), it has been referenced in a national newspaper (the Independent), the University of Leicester and Goldsmiths University, London. Would that also be included in originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique, too? The original tag was WP:Author but it looks like that was removed by another editor. If not, do you think it would be more preferable to resubmit using the entertainer tag, as he 'has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment'. I want to provide as much detail as possible so it doesn't get rejected again! Blackjackm1990 ( talk) 13:03, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

Can a section title of an article's talk page modified if it may give a false impression to non-involved editors? For instance, a section title "Unnecessary Tagging" suggests that baseless tags were placed in the article. Especially, this is the case, if edits fixing the problems (that the tags indicated) are followed by edit summaries like "tag removed" and questions relating the tags are summarized in the edit summary (after the title "Unneccessary Tagging") as "another". I specifically write of cases, when the tags (or more than 90% of the tags) refer to actual problems. Thank you for your thoughts.

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. |
Before my edit: In Heroes in Another Dimension (takes place after the main story), Hyness and the Three Mage Sisters are corrupted and went to another dimension. So Kirby and his heroic Dream Friends have to travel four dimensions in order to unlock the final dimension and battle a corrupted form of Hyness and the other corrupted mages. If the player collects all 100 or more hearts, they can make Francisca, Flamberge and Zan Partizanne friends and send Kirby and his friends back to Dream Land. After my edit: In Heroes in Another Dimension, a challenge mode taking place after the main story, Hyness and the Three Mage Sisters become corrupted and are transported to another dimension. Kirby and his allies have to travel four dimensions in order to unlock the final dimension and battle a corrupted form of Hyness and the other corrupted mages. If the player collects 100 or more friend hearts (collectable versions of the hearts that Kirby throws), they unlock Francisca, Flamberge and Zan Partizanne as Dream Friends. |

I need to help understanding exactly what I'm missing in this article. Is it the subject, reference, or the person of interest? DECLINED this reason -This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
Roundtable2 ( talk) 13:04, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
One more thing is the presentation. While it's true that presenting a general reference at the end of the draft to a naked URL – but one that is a reliable, secondary, and independent source that treats a topic in detail – is better than formatting a beautiful looking citation, but to to an unreliable, primary, connected source that only mentions a topic in passing, nevertheless, the naked URLs, only used in the form of general reference, are not helping either.
The ideal is the use of citations in the form of footnotes, associated directly in the text of the article with specific statements, so that a person can see which references cited are being use to support what statements, and that those references are presented with better attribution than is imparted by a naked link. For help with that, please visit: Help:Introduction to referencing with Wiki Markup/1.
Lastly, as an example, I'm going to end my signoff after this sentence with a footnote that will display below using a well formatted citation, and then a second footnote to the same source using its naked URL, so that you can compare for yourself.

I have just started reading the Wikipedia policies on adding reliable sources, biographies of living people, and editing, but as of today, I am still nervous about editing with additional information for figure skaters because even if there are no sources, multiple programs are missing and I don't want to get into trouble again just like I did a couple of weeks ago, which caused me to worry about editing more and more. If a figure skater has a blank short, free, or exhibition program, should I leave it blank and ask for help on those pages getting more information? There are some YouTube pages that feature music that we all have never added on those pages, but I just want to make sure that if some of those pages don't have reliable sources for the programs I should just leave them alone or receive permission to edit that page. I am very sincerely sorry about my activity lately, but I just felt that some of those pages needed more information and I was only trying to help.

The article contains unsourced statements—not just obviously, where a paragraph is stated with no citations—but a spot check immediately revealed paragraphs where citations appeared, but they each verified the preceding sentence only, and not other sentences interspersed (I also just removed from it an unsourced statement that sounded dubious and may very well be unreverted vandalism). I would expect before nominating, under basic due diligence, that you would take on a careful review that the current sourcing verifies the current content – which is no small task given the size (and if the deficiency in that area, upon my quick look, is at all representative).
Also, have you read its GA reassessment, where it was removed as a former good article, and multiple subsequent failed good articles nominations? (see the drop down list on the talk page template in the section with the symbol ). Certainly you should carefully read those and address anything left unaddressed.

There is a substantial table at Messier_object#Messier_objects, and I am struggling to understand how it works. According to Help:Introduction_to_tables_with_Wiki_Markup/2, a table starts a new row when there is an entry starting "|-". Yet the second row of this table, final column (Declination) is coded as "|−00° 49′ 23.7″". So my question is: how come that codes as a cell, and does not start a new row? Every time I try to code a cell with a negative value like this, it starts a new row instead. Gronk Oz ( talk) 11:22, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi there, Is there a template that basically says "This is a shared IP address"? I'd like to put it at the top of the talk page that my IP address uses,so that people know that all the vandalism reversion notices aren't for me, they are for other people who are using the IP address.

I had posted a help request in a talk page weeks ago but there was no help, neither was a reply. I want to push or urge editors to help with the templates for American Idol results table and performances table, changing from a monochrome to the colorful one; this is because of consistencies and good clarity, and it has even been used on one other article. The last time the edit was on August and no progress was done ever since, and I was busy on real-life matters as well. This has to be done for other Idol seasons as well to further improve the article. I had asked the editors as well but neither action was taken because of other commitments.

Please help :-) I am a novice at Wikipedia and when I attempted to edit an incorrect website, Materialscientist removed the section that I had edited. I have written to him, but no response so far. How should I edit something like this correctly and how can we restore the section back to how it was?
Here is my email to Materialscientist ( /info/en/?search=User:Materialscientist)
"Hi Materialscientist
I am writing on behalf of Diamond Way Buddhism Cape Town and Diamond Way Buddhism South Africa.
I am new to editing Wikipedia and I noticed that the hyperlink on the Buddhism South Africa page [13] for "Diamond Way Buddhist Centre Cape Town" was incorrect. It was listed as http://www.buddhism-southafrica.org/en/ (incorrect) and it should be http://www.buddhism-southafrica.org (correct link). I simply tried to correct the website address.
It seems however, that when I made this change, you have reverted/deleted the entire section which listed all the Buddhist Centres in South Africa (not just ours).
You say that I must add a source, but I'm not sure exactly what you need, as I am new to this. What do I need to do in order for this section to be returned and for our correct webpage to be displayed?

Hello Fuhghettaboutit, both the films Coolie No. 1 (1995 film) and Coolie No. 1 (2020 film) are the remake of 1991 Telugu film Coolie No. 1 (1991 film). I made this edit in the Coolie No. 1 (2020 film) article. I have also added a reference to that. It is not a Tamil film. I reviewed the plots of the three films i.e, Telugu, Hindi and Tamil and found that Telugu and Hindi versions are similar. So, then I found that the Tamil film was remade only in Telugu with the name Chinna Alludu. So, as the article is semi-protected, please consider my edits or you may edit it. Looking Forward for positive result Tarunq ( talk) 10:50, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
Regarding the topic of your post, before studying the issue in any detail, I can advise that when you wish to make an edit and others have reverted you, the usual best thing to do first is to open with discussion (see also WP:BRD), usually best initiated at the talk page of the article at issue – here, seemingly, Talk:Coolie No. 1 (2020 film). By the way, you mentioned that the article is semi-protected. That's true, but just means one needs to be autoconfirmed in order to edit – and you are.
At such a discussion, you can always "ping" targeted users to your post, such as those who have reverted you, by linking their usernames – just as you will have received a notification to this post because I started it with a template that provides such a link – i.e., "Hi {{U|Tarunq}}". (Make sure you sign correctly (~~~~) in the same edit that you link the username(s) and "publish changes", or the notification won't work.)
Turning to the specifics, I'm sorry but I'm not clear on the issues involved. The 2020 article, for example, already says that both are remakes, though it provides the nuance that the last is a remake of the 1995, which is itself a remake. There also appears to be an issue regarding the languages involved (Hindi, Kannada and so forth). In order to offer my opinion on a content issue or wade in – to support one side or the other; to take any action and to even know what action is proper, if at all – I really need to understand it well. For me to do that here would require a more time than I am willing to devote. I will say though (though I think you already know this), that often such content issues resolve on demonstrating that reliable sources support any desired change.

Hi all! This is such a blessing. I'd love to start contributing in cleaning up some of the space-related articles as I have some limited experience in proofreading and copy-editing. To this end, I was poking around some rocket launch pages and identified something that felt "off" to me as I read, so I checked the source and after doing some googling and digging (on the source's background; not sure how much of this is allowed. I don't think it's OR, just verification), it turned out the source had presented as an "independent fan site" but was run by a prestigious academic in rocket science at the premiere university in an authoritarian single-party country. It would seem to me NPOV is being violated here but I've only just started poking around at what the rules are and how to get someone with a little more experience to come along and take a look. But it looks like this is the real world and ain't nobody gonna help unless you start trying to swim first (invitation to The Teahouse notwithstanding ;]), so I'm reaching out here. Should hard assertions (around things like death count, hard science, etc) be left to the purview of a shaky source like that? Is it better to compare the authoritarian govt's official report to a UN/US/UK or other govt report?

I see how you guys are of course correct in how things do work around here. It sure does seem that this is a method which invites the biases of the more entrenched editors. When there are dueling points of view both should be presented, not one over the other. For them to do otherwise turns the editors of wikipedia into the arbiter over what is correct over the cited 'experts' who study the material professionally.

RNAIII inhibiting peptide (RIP), a global inhibitor of Staphylococcus aureus pathogenesis: structure and function analysis. Gov Y, Bitler A, Dell'Acqua G, Torres JV, Balaban N. Peptides. 2001 Oct;22(10):1609-20. doi: 10.1016/s0196-9781(01)00496-x. PMID: 11587789. In this paper it is reported that a heptapeptide, YSPWTNF, is an inhibitor of RNAIII synthesis. The following story negates this claim, as follows: Most staphylococcal species contain a global regulatory locus known as agr, discovered in parallel by Staffan Arvidson (Karolinska) and myself (see my recent wiki article "accessory gene regulator"), which acts by a quorum-sensing two-component signal transduction module that is induced by a peptide whose synthesis is also encoded within the agr locus. Variant homologs of this peptide are produced by all strains that contain an agr homolog. In general, the AIPs are cross-inhibitory in heterologous combinations. In our strain collection was one strain, RN833, whose peptide was a very strong inhibitor of all S. aureus strains tested and was therefore worthy of investigation. This inhibitory activity was readily demonstrated with culture supernatants, and was purified in the late 90's and sequenced by Edman degradation. The sequence came out YSPXTNF, where X could be either cysteine or tryptophan. By cloning and DNA sequencing, the agr AIP of R833 was found to be YSPCTNF and its activity highly alkali sensitive. suggesting a thiolactone ring. This was confirmed by in vitro synthesis by Tom Muir, then at Rockefeller. This structure is conserved in all but one staph species (The S.intermedius AIP has a serine, forming a lactone rather than a thiolactone ring). In the Gov, et al paper, YSPWTNF was synthesized and purportedly shown to inhibit RNAIII synthesis; however, a careful reading reveals that in the key experiment, demonstrating inhibition of RNAIII synthesis by Southern blotting, they used the native peptide (obtained from a strain RN833 supernatant) rather than their synthetic peptide - which can ONLY mean that the synthetic peptide did not work (incidentally, linear peptides generally do not inhibit RNAIII synthesis). Going forward, they have insisted that their peptide was not, in fact, an agr-coded AIP but was encoded by an unlinked gene. However, there is no coding sequence for YSPWTNF in any staphylococcal sequence in GenBank and we actually sequenced the RN833 chromosome and found the coding sequence for YSPCTNF in the agr locus but not the W variant; and RN833 produces a typical agr AIP. (incidentally, RN833 is actually a strain of S.warnerii, rather than S.aureus, though it had been sent to us as S. aureus) . On the basis of this dishonest experiment, these authors and their colleagues have developed a spurious and wide-ranging enterprise based on "RIP, the RNBAIII-inhibiting peptide". There is much more to this story, but I think this should suffice for the moment. In any case, I am always deeply concerned when I see references to these papers (although some of the findings may be legitimate, the intellectual basis - RNAIII-inhibiting peptide - is not). Three papers debunking part of this enterprise were published a few years ago, but this has not inhibited continued referencing. I will shortly add these to my comment.

I created the draft back in October so I could have people edit it. I left it for a little bit but today I saw that the draft had been heavily edited by someone else (as it should) and subsequently rejected three times in a row with lots of errors and little to no improvement back in November 26 and earlier in November 24. I don't want the draft to be deleted, I really want the chance to show that this is the article page that I created.
So I have three questions—what do I do to further improve the draft, how do I prove that the subject is notable, and how do I persuade the other editor to hold on before it gets submitted if they can't see what need to be improved? — beetricks ~ talk · email 21:14, 28 November 2020 (UTC)

Good day,
My page was today deleted by user Maile66, it was also reviewed by other user before.
There was no explanation besides that : Wiki does not support. Wiki is MAIN sourse of free knowledge. And that information does not exist. The post was well documented and it does exist as documentation. They mention that wiki is not a place to Host information, and that it is 'my responsibility.'

Cullen328 took out images of Sara Radstone’s work, them having been on for a couple of weeks and seen by a number of editors, on the grounds of image copyright release from the artist, namely Sara Radstone. I have been informed that she has sent a personal email to that effect, including such issues as OTRS and releasing such copyright under the standard CC-BY-SA-4.0 licence, therefore I presume the two images and captions can now be restored to the article. Also I noticed that at present there is no ‘google’ link to Wikipedia when one googled Sara Radstone, how long does it take for this to occur? Thanks!

Hi! I'm stuck. I want to cite one source more than once but don't know how. I read the page and don't understand it. I don't know how to put in a ref name, and I'm using cite web. Please help! Dswitz10734 ( talk) 16:02, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
Check the article ARIA Music Awards, specifically the section Most Awards/Nominations. This table shows the highest awarded artists (provided they have won at least six). The References column contains 41 cluster refs with some artists (e.g. Paul Kelly) requiring some 30 sub refs. These same sub refs are used repeatedly in the table thereby causing the article to become far too big. I get the idea that this was done so that the each artist's articles could use the relevant cluster ref to support claims of their wins/noms.

I am trying to correct the naming of Bill_Hopkins_(composer)
He was born George William Hopkins. Was known to friends as Bill Hopkins and published his compositions (his most important work) under that name. He wrote professionally as a newspaper critic and used there the name "G. W. Hopkins", whom he said 'never wrote a note in his life'. So definitely a professional pseudonym.
'G.W. "Bill" Hopkins (5 June 1943 – 10 March 1981) was a British composer and music critic.' doesn't seem at all right.

Hi there,
I noticed that the official NFL Podcast network does not have any Wikipedia articles and after searching around the internet for a while, think that they really belong on here. Would these be considered "notable" enough to add?
The Flagship, "Around the NFL" typically rates highly on Apple Podcast charts, as do "Move the Sticks" and "NFL Fantasy Football Podcast". I'd love to work on these articles, but don't want to if they're likely to be removed. Any thoughts on whether these are worthwhile?

I just created a new article, Deerfield Society of Arts and Crafts, and it struck me when I was considering categories that it might be appropriate to have an Arts and Crafts Movement category, just as there is a Colonial Revival Movement category. But before I rush in and add this, I thought it best to ask if there might be a reason there isn't such a category (such as it being too broad)? If it is a feasible addition (I can think of other articles where it would be appropriate), would some corresponding page listing the articles so ctegorized be needed? Does something like this have a go through review by members of a project? I appreciate any guidance I can get, so I can learn for the next time! Thank you.

Hi! I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question (please let me know if its not!) I'm hoping to write a more substantial page on the US Government's 1837 treaty with the Ojibwe people in what is now Minnesota and Wisconsin. This treaty is currently referenced in a page about a few treaties that share their most formal name, Treaty of St Peters. I would like create a new page and move the existing text about this treaty to that new page where I'll refer to it by its distinct, more informal, but widely recognized title "The White Pine Treaty." I know that in moving entire pages you're not supposed to copy and paste the content so that the editing history is preserved. In this case, however, where I only want to move some sections of an existing page to a new one I'm curious what the procedure is. Additionally, is the sort of thing that other Wikipedians with more experience could help me sort out so I don't lose any content in my learning? Eharris33 ( talk) 17:18, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

It's quite easy to find stubs to work on, but is there a guideline for de-stubbing? Is it only the jurisdiction of affiliated Wiki-projects? Is it poor taste for the person who added refs/material to 'rank up' an article themselves? Or is removing stub notices considered a low-priority task?
Best, Estheim ( talk) 09:14, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
@ Estheim: See WP:DESTUB and WP:RATER for advice and a useful tool, respectively. Don't forget to remove any stub template from the bottom of any article as well as the stub rating on the talk page (I so often forget about the article templates!) The fantastic things about improving and simultaneously removing stub templates is that not only enhances the encyclopaedia in a fast and effective way, but it also helps other people who like to work on groups of articles in WikiProjects. One good tip is to work through all the most important articles within any given WikiProject that interests you is to check that they genuinely still are Stub-rated. They might well have been improved but never upgraded. See this guidance which I wrote on using the Quality Assessment Table to help you find the most worthwhile stub articles to work on.

After receiving the comments, I realised that there is a different way to how to write things. I changed it and rewrote the whole thing according to Wikipedia guidelines in the best way I could. Now, my question is; The subject I’m writing about is a modality created by my teacher. I’m not writing about my teacher. I’m writing about a psychotherapeutic process which is in use in the world, created by her. I was just wondering if it’s still considered writing about a close person, although it’s not written about a person? Although it’s not the main modality I use,( or you can call it like an intervention technique, with it’s own rules, like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Hypnotherapy etc) it’s partially what I do in my profession. My main job is Clinical Hypnotherapy. So, with this in light, Which option I should pick. Article is not about me, this article is about me or somebody close to me?
