Hello! I'm not sure if there is a better place to ask, but I'm trying to figure out how I could add an image to the Draft:Willie Wiredhand article, about a corporate mascot. His rival Reddy Kilowatt appears to have a fair use image, but I think Reddy Kilowatt is no longer actively being used whereas Willie Wiredhand is. I think an image like the one here would add a lot to the article. Is there a fair use rationale I can use? Or, can I contact the copyright holder (the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association) and ask them to give some kind of relevant image permission? What should I ask them for? I'd appreciate any advice, or pointers to better places to ask! Thanks! ~ L 🌸 ( talk) 22:42, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
Why are references to the Kyla Titus/Chica Boswell Mannerly book, The Boswell Legacy, considered to be unreliable? That's the only biography that actually quotes from letters and diaries, and from first hand interviews from Vet Boswell while she was alive. The book was approved by the Vet Boswell Family Collection, LLC. I get that there is a prejudice against "vanity" publishing services; however, the content of this book has held up to scrutiny/review. I see this as a self-publishing effort rather than mere vanity.

Hello yes I know this is the 3rd question I've asked today but I need clarification on this one! So on all the articles on the Pokemon games, the short description is very general (for example, on Pokemon Sword and Shield the short description is 2019 video games) and I thought that short descriptions were supposed to be short but still accurately describe the article. Looking at WP:SHORTDESC doesn't help as it doesn't really say whether or not a slightly longer (a little over 40 characters but not too over) but accurate description is preferred over a short (≥40 characters) but very general short description. So I have to know, is a short description that is short but very general preferred over one that might be slightly longer than the recommended limit but isn't very general. ― Blaze The Wolf TalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:44, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
Blaze The Wolf, numerous editors have already put a great amount of effort into augmenting the articles about Pokemon. No doubt further augmentations and improvements are possible, but I suspect that those readers who are interested in the details are well served elsewhere (by fan sites and so on). Meanwhile, few articles about cities are informative, well-developed, up to date, and free of more or less subtle advertising. Now you know where to find stuff about urban history, why not leave Pokemon coverage for younger editors and get stuck into something that's more important? -- Hoary ( talk) 22:32, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'd like some input from more experienced editors. I came across an article talk page, where other people in the past posted a link to an external site (forum), which doesn't meet verifiability or reliable source criteria, but it was shared as an informative resource about what was discussed at the article talk page. The linked material is no longer accessible through the originally provided link, but a Google cache snapshot of it can be accessed through the Wayback Machine. I want to follow up on the talk page to provide a link to the archive, so that editors can see what has been discussed, and I want to make sure that doing so wouldn't be violating some policy or guidelines. Could I please get an independent insight on that? Thanks! 89.176.230.207 ( talk) 06:23, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

GoingBatty (
talk) 17:13, 13 October 2021 (UTC)I started in August and some type of robot gave a warm welcoming message. But that was the robot. The actual interactions I have had with established users have been less than welcoming, less than knowledgeable, and often uninformed on their part. In particular the article review process. I started an article on Museums of Florence, not knowing about the "underconstruction flag" because that is how it is done in the Italian Wikipedia. Articles are started and then gradually improved. After move to draft space, it soon became clear that the reviewers were just typing policy names, not knowing what the policies were. I had to explain what WP:WIKIVOICE, WP:NOTESSAY etc. are. I am not kidding, the reviewers did not object to my explanations that they were quoting incorrect policies. They just quoted other incorrect policies! The reality is that Wikipedia is under assault by people who want to build pages for themselves, their dog or their cousin. So the page review process is a boxing match, with reviewers who are fed up, tired and careless. So to be realistic, you people need to tone down the robot and instead warn people that English Wikipedia is a type of fight, with angry page reviewers who have had to fight about pages about pets, cousins and dogs. The tea house robot message was far from real, for all I have seen. Ode+Joy ( talk) 17:07, 12 October 2021 (UTC) Ode+Joy

ClaudineChionh (
talk) 07:08, 14 October 2021 (UTC)Two reviewers reviewed Draft:Christopher Desloge and declined it. I declined it both for questions of notability and for tone reasons, because it was written to praise its subject. User:Wikidesloge, who probably is the subject of the draft, has posted a lengthy statement on my talk page explaining why the article meets notability: /info/en/?search=User_talk:Robert_McClenon#Christopher_Desloge,_author,_historian_article
It is not entirely clear whether they are writing about a draft on a person or a draft about a book; but the draft is about the person. I would appreciate any comments from other experienced editors. In particular, if the subject is biographically notable, should a neutral editor rework this puff piece into something encyclopedic? I personally think that it is clear that the author needs to leave it alone. Either they are notable, but they can't write neutrally about themselves; or they are not notable. Thank you for any comments by other experienced editors. Robert McClenon ( talk) 20:05, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
User:David notMD writes: "Likely does not understand that you as a Declining reviewer are one-and-done with the draft." That is true, but I will observe that a significant percentage of new editors expect that a reviewer will work with them to walk a draft through the approval process. We nowhere say that a reviewer will work with an author to walk a draft through the approval process, but we nowhere say that a reviewer will not continue to work with the author of a draft. The idea that the reviewer will continue to work with the author on the draft is a common although not universal idea. Sometimes a reviewer does work with an editor, just not usually. This is just an observation of long standing. Robert McClenon ( talk) 23:25, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

|image=
parameter of the infobox, it should be automatically sized and centered. Now, I have some questions for you. Why did you replace the infobox image in
Frederick VI of Denmark? Was there something wrong with the file
File:Frederik6coronation.jpg that was being used? Perhaps the infobox image should be changed, but that might require establishing a consensus to do so at
Talk:Frederick VI of Denmark per
WP:CAUTIOUS. What's really not clear is why you uploaded
File:Frederick VI of Denmark.jpg when the same file already exists as
File:Christoph Wilhelm Wohlien - Portræt af Frederik VI.jpg and was being used in the article. If you wanted to replace the infobox image, then why not use the already existing file. Now, the same image is being used twice in the article which is not a good thing at all. --

In fact, I found many site who is the shop published a product page and put them in wikipedia. I have not seen any of you delete them. Here you mentioned that are you considered to be a recognized authority on zongzi and mooncakes? Here if I publish content on high authority site or news site, then the content can be cited on wikipedia not promotional. Here I are very curious that what kind of content I can be submitted on wikipedia. Even if I submit a content with unique view of point and have not done any promotional elements, wikipedia still reverts my references. Whether every piece of content published on wallstreetjournal.com or cnn.com have the qualification to submit references to wikipedia. Other news site does not have the authority.
Take this for example:
/info/en/?search=Batter_(cooking)
2, what'sthe Difference Between Batter and Dough?". thespruce.com.
Why this piece can be submitted on wikipedia? This is the recognized authority? However, this is a content site. Not wallstreetjournal or bbc.
And lululemon /info/en/?search=Lululemon_Athletica
"Women's Accessories". lululemon. "lululemon Partners with APL to Offer Athletic Shoes In-Store". lululemon Athletica. The two references are about their promotional site. People click the site and see the products directly. It is the commercial intention.
I don't ask you must approve my mooncake and zongzi article. I just confused why wikipedia forbids ppl to promote themselves. Why wikipedia always permits those commercial sites to promote themselves or add references for their own sites? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cherryblossomcici ( talk • contribs) 07:57, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

I recently submitted information on the high school football career of Elijah Mitchell was subsequently removed on October 11, 2021. The information that was shown on Elijah's high career is incorrect and reflect football stats from Elijah's junior football season NOT senior year. I am the Erath sports historian which can be verified by contacting school officials. While Elijah attended UL Lafayette, I attempted to correct this info and provide the correct info to the University's Athletic Department. University officials never responded to correction requests. I was hoping by editing the correct statistics on Wikipedia, I could provide the correct info. I am glad to cooperate in ay manner to right this wrong. If you were to contact Erath High School, sources at the school would verify my resources?
I hit "publish" accidentally while trying out my first article in sandbox. How to remove it until it's actually ready?

184.15.53.78 ( talk) 17:21, 14 October 2021 (UTC) Why was my Jenny Day page delted, here on Wikipedia, Teahouse?
Hi. The majority of the page “List of the oldest living people,” ie, the list itself, is full of displayed code, instead of that code being hidden and normally acting to format text. This follows the comment “<The template Row numbers is being considered for deletion.>”
I’ve not come across this before, so I doubt it’s any account setting of mine. I’ve been around for years, but mainly just make minor edits. Perhaps it’s some tiny code formatting error that makes a lot of difference, but I don’t know what to look for
When you see this, please fix the page & let me know, or share this with someone who can.

I would suggest that the rejection of this proposed article based on lack of notable support is not fully accurate. There are, in fact, notable examples of relevance, and I have attempted to provide a few of them as references within the article. There is ample online (and other) evidence of growing critical recognition and relevance in the form of non-trivial reviews, discographies, and articles, not only to do with four decades' involvement in the Biota (band) that already exists on Wikipedia, but the Sorry For Laughing project that includes artists who have existing Wikipedia pages, and which has its own "story" of interest for as long as Biota involvement. This is an opportunity to expand such discussion around new breakthroughs of audience recognition. The subject also meets the criteria (both with Sorry For Laughing and with Biota) of having two or more albums associated with independent labels with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable. 5.32.40.122 ( talk) 08:54, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

I'm very intrigued to know why every hamlet village town city district borough unitary authority county article on UK must include a look at ethnicity and religion.
When I read American Canadian Australian etc articles there is no mention of the ethnicity of each place in the lead but instead in a demographic article. But the UK articles seem to need to quote them twice in both the infobox and the demographic or ethnicity tabs of an article.
Why is this the case with UK? Looking at Manchester for example the infobox has the ethnicity but further down is a pie chart a table and a lot of paragraphs. So I'm curious why it can't be simplified to just a table and a brief mention then needing a lot of percentages and mentioning. Same really for Bradford Leeds York Derby Leicester Nottingham Sheffield etc...

Hello! I recently made a move request on the page Melbourne city centre. Since then, the discussion has elapsed its 7 day timeline, with two others leaving comments in support of the move. As a result, I think it's safe to say that consensus has been reached. However, after some researching of Wikipedia's rules, I'm not sure how to actually get the page to move. I know I'm not supposed to move it myself as I'm an involved editor, and I also know I'm not supposed to request an administrator to do it as that's reserved for contentious discussions. Is the only way to close the discussion to simply wait for someone to stumble along and do it themselves? RoadSmasher420 ( talk) 03:45, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
I think there is intimidation and abuse going on towards me on the Norwich and Talk:Norwich pages. All over a collage with two editors calling it "Depressing" and "Mediocre at most". Also one editor got my Username wrong and are picking issues over a bunch of photos which quite frankly in the previous collage were badly zoomed in and badly edited ratioed. But of course I'm in the wrong not them I guess. DragonofBatley ( talk) 20:58, 13 October 2021 (UTC) DragonofBatley ( talk) 20:58, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
Goldengnomee has commented in the edit summary "the old collage was so much better, i'm not even from norwich, but i was suprised to see it got and replaced by something so depressing". And an anon commented something similar. Not just that but also on the talk pages I have seen the following comments.
@ Menacinghat: commented
" I think the old photos used on the other language Wikipedia pages for Norwich are better and the new photos uploaded by Dragonofbaitley are grey and mediocre-looking. The old photos were bright and close-up which meant you didn't have to open the image, while the new ones are zoomed out and largely taken in poor weather.
Thoughts?
The collage made by Deu is far superior."
So they basically are saying Superior as in better and yours DragonofBaitley which they called me is crap.
So these editors and anon have issues whereas at least one editor on there is decent enough to disagree in a professional manor.
These two cannot it seems one can't even get my username right.

Hi, I'm still trying to get my head around what does and does not constitute canvassing, so I would like to put the question of the following example to more experienced users than myself: A user has commented on three separate AfD discussion pages here, here and here not to make a point, but simply to copy in another user. In each case, the premise for the AfD discussion is notability based on sourcing and general notability: in my opinion, it does not require specialist expertise, but this editor is not commenting themselves, but instead deferring to another user. It seems like quite atypical behaviour. Iskandar323 ( talk) 16:13, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi Tea Room, I’m Natalie, and I’m new to Wiki.
i’m seeking assistance because I contributed a CONTROVERSY section to the “Our Lady of Fatima” page and it was deleted under the tag “personal opinion.”
I have since reworked the controversy section to eliminate all opinions, and yet trying to post a new version will result in it being deleted under the tag “removed my edit.”
So if anyone can help moderate, that would be very helpful, because Fatima certainly warrants a controvery section. Ghost apparitions (religious or otherwise) are inherently controversial.
The absence of a controversy section altogether on the Fatima page after so many years is bizarre and almost suspicious—especially since this vision of Mary promoted violence towards children. This is a particularly questionable, potentially very dangeorus “miracle.”

I will be citing from two books. The first one, THE IMMACULATE HEART, was published by the reputable Farrar, Straus and Young. It was written by a Priest who interrogated the witnesses firsthand. The other book, FATIMA IN LUCIA’S OWN WORDS, was published by the Catholic Church (Imprimatur), which in normal circumstances would be considered a biased press; however in this case it should be admitted, because they are the memoirs of the Saint herself. Marian apparations are a bit like the Loch Ness Monster, in the sense that only a few handfuls of people have ever seen them, and so it’s hard to find “credible” citations. For instance it would be hard to cite The New York Times reporting on a Marian apparition, or a Loch Ness sighting. That said, what is more credible a source to a Marian apparition than the personal journals of the only living witness to it? (I would also like to mention that on the existing Fatima page, plenty of biased Catholic news outlets are referenced to substantiate the apparitions, and those sources were not deleted.) I intend to re-post my new and improved controversy section at some point today or tonight. If any Wiki moderators could oversee, so that it doesn’t get automatically deleted, I would appreciate your time so much. The Fatima page is incomplete without thoughtful opposition. Thank you guys. Natalie (Username Spyrazzle)
Controversy The Mary apparition falsely predicted the end of the war, with Lucia relaying what Mary had told her: "The war will end today (13 October 1917). You can expect the soldiers very shortly." 1 But World War 1 didn’t end for more than a year after Mary’s prediction that it had already ended. This alarmed even the interrogating Priest, Dr. Manuel Formigao, whose records of the children still exist: "But listen Lucia" he said on record, "The war is still going on. The papers give news of battles after the 13th. How can you explain that if our Lady said the war would end that day?" Lucia replied, "I don’t know; I only know that I heard her say that the war would end on that day…I said exactly what our Lady had said. 2 Jacinta, the youngest child, was interrogated separately and she said the same thing. “(Mary) said that we were to say the Rosary every day and that the war would end today.” 3 Although Mary correctly predicted the deaths of Francisco and Jacinta Marto, the children may have facilitated their own deaths, as both were documented as having starved and dehydrated themselves during the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic. Their biographer, John De Marchi, who was friends with Lucia, wrote: “In the scorching sun of the serra, when through the bright hours of the day the heat hangs like a hot stove everywhere, they abstained from taking any water through one spell of thirty days, and at another time for nine.” 4 For two full years leading up to their deaths, and even on their deathbeds, the children refused food and water, or drank dirty water from an animal and laundry pond from which their mother forbade them from drinking because it could cause illness 5, and even kept blood-stained cords tied tightly around their waists.6 The vision of Mary praised them for their self-harm rituals, saying to them, “God is pleased with your sacrifices, but He does not want you to sleep with the rope on; only wear it during the day.” 7 On multiple occasions Lucia voiced her concern that the Mary appearing to them was actually “the devil” all along. She wrote: “I began then to have doubts as to whether these manifestations might be from the devil…truly, ever since I had started seeing these things, our home was no longer the same, for joy and peace had fled. What anguish I felt!’ 8 The young girl also suffered a dream during this time period wherein “the devil was laughing at having deceived me.” 9 And Lucia once told her cousin, “If (Mary) asks for me, Jacinta, you tell her why I’m not there. Because I am afraid it is the Devil who sends her to us!” 10

After watching the squid game series on Netflix, I was excited to find the name of the song that commonly appears throughout the show. After finding it, listening too many different Renditions of it, and enjoying it very much, I decided to check to see if the showroom was already noted on Wikipedia to be a part of the show. After finding that it was not, I edited it in. After not doing so correctly with the proper citation, it was deleted, and then I re-added it in to be included at once again, with the proper citation, it was accepted. The individual user who had first identified it for deletion, and then saw that it had been reacted with the proper citation, decided to check out my profile of my individual user, and see what else I've been working on around the website. Finding that I was editing the page to help launch its initial publication on Wikipedia, cited it for removal and how to delete it. I clearly believe that had I not edited that song on the other page, and then proved it accurate with the source after having a deleted, this user would not have gone through my work 2 then filed a report thusly. I understand if it is a tremendous benefit of Wikipedia that all users carry the responsibility and access to grow and evolve our understanding of young every topic on the planet. I also just see it as trolling. I wanted to ask since username=Liz was supportive and really helpful and giving me advice and setting me to work to really do things properly and correctly, fully, though I am also interested in once other people are involved with my page if then I can remove my COI inclusion notification, though it does look pretty cool on my profile and I do like it's listing as such, I just did them never seen it used popularly or noticeably anywhere to a once I get anyone else involved, and they're making edits if then I can remove my listing, as they would be the professional?
My only real question now though was whether anybody would at least admit that it's plausible that this user was trolling me?

I do agree the later accusation of vandalism is unwarranted, but I believe it is due to the warning templates not differentiating between vandalism/disruptive editing.
Looking at all of your contributions, you have a very high revert rate, by at least seven different editors. Presuming you are editing in good faith, i.e., making changes you know or believe to be true, you are running afoul of Wikipedia rules about verification vi references. I suggest you pause, take a deep breath, and turn to the Talk pages of the articles to ask why what you believe to be valid improvements are being reverted.

Removing Incorrect COI Tag I got tagged for COI on an article where I am totally unequivocally NOT in a conflict of interest, and the article was moved to draft as a result, and is now dragging on several months, totally unnecessarily through the review process. I could not get the person to respond when I explained that I am not in a COI, so I just went along with the draft method, figuring no big deal, it will get approved that way, and why get into an argument. Well, I am not at the point where I want that COI removed, and realize I should have taken further action at the time - just wasn't sure how. The article is Draft:United_Way_East_Ottawa.

Thanks GoingBatty to be clear, when I first published the article, this is what happened as per /info/en/?search=User_talk:Iamthekanadian#United_Way_East_Ottawa_moved_to_draftspace "This was moved to draft so that it can go through AFC. It is plain that this is another article where you have a conflict of interest. PER WP:COI, please do not push articles to mainspace where you have a conflict of interest. Run them through AFC if you have a COI. I have submitted the article to AFC for you. --- Possibly ☎ 07:14, 18 July 2021 (UTC)." I am NOT in COI, there is nothing "plain" about it because it is totally false, I feel bullied and persecuted by this action, and There is nothing wrong with the article - it never should have been in draftspace and forced to go through AFC in the first place, which is my main reason for being here at this time - the annoyance that it has unnecessarily delayed the article for months is secondary to the arbitrary and rather punitive action and tone take to falsely label me COI, and I have been reluctant to continue writing anything because I feel that I am going to be stalked and labeled COI, so why bother? Somehow it seems every charitable organization in Canada must have me on their payroll. Who knew my jack of all trades job with a grassroots charity would be so disqualifying as a Wikipedia contributor? Iamthekanadian ( talk) 21:55, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
Possibly your persecutorial response simply proves my point. I never hid anything. As a newbie, I identified as COI and did not understand that just because I worked for the charity I was writing about, I should also identify as a "paid editor" as I am NOT "paid" to do anything here. But this is very old news and obviously you continue to dish out payback for your personal views about it, which is a clear violation of Wikipedia:Assume_good_faith. That was my first article, and yes, a lot of time was wasted on attacking me for those misunderstandings instead of focusing on the the writing. Now it is happening again. I do NOT have a COI for United Way East Ottawa. I do not work for them, have never worked for them, and currently have no formal relationship at all - I once volunteered for them, which as far as I know, is not a COI offense. Being "connected" to something we write about is NOT a COI. You seem to have a COI when it comes to me, as you are stalking my articles and tagging me COI without even having a discussion about it, and now referencing back to my first article - that was resolved. I learned and did everything I Was supposed to do. Your continued attacks and persecution is totally inappropriate but I appreciate you are not hiding that you have made this a personal vendetta, including persisting in a lie that I am COI with United Way East Ottawa. Would you like to be in on a joint email with me to them to prove it? That seems far beyond the scope of what should be required for me to contribute an article, but if it will put an end to your bullying, let's do it. I want to continue writing here, and if you are going to be stalking me and labelling me COI for every Ottawa-based organization for the rest of time, that's not going to work for me, as like most people, I would like to contribute about topics I actually know something about. That's not COI. As for the rejections "similar to an advertisement" is another of those annoyingly subjective pronouncements - I didn't copy any of the information from anywhere, and it is simple language accurately stating the work of the organization, with appropriate sources. But I should not have to be debating this as it should not have been falsely forced into draft because you have decided to punish me for your ongoing issues with my first article. You are clearly emotionally compromised and I kindly ask that your stalking and false claims about me end here. I am not ashamed of working for a charitable organization and writing about other charitable organizations, it is an area of Wikipedia that needs help - this is supposed to be an encouraging space, not a place for personal vendettas, especially when you not only state falsehoods, but use your power here to punish me. Not THAT is shameful. Iamthekanadian ( talk) 03:40, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
GoingBatty it's not civil to unilaterally declare another user as COI without even talking to them about it, and moving their article to draft, is it? I would say that is a clear abuse of power that does not respect Wikipedia:Assume_good_faith and so while you mayjudge my response to not be "civil" you don't seem very concerned about the abuse of power that elicited my response, and I guess the message is "too bad so sad" is that right? There's nothing I can do about being falsely accused? Telling me that the article has improved etc. is a distraction from the help I am seeking - I don't want to be persecuted in this way, not now, and not going forward. So my request for "give me a list of topics where you are going to label me COI" might seem uncivil, but I am serious - I don't want to waste me time writing articles that are going to get labeled COI every time because one editor has decided I am a plague to Wikipedia for trying to contribute an article about one of the biggest charities in Canada, which should certainly be on Wikipedia. I understand they apparently took the issues I experienced with my first article very personally and continue to seek revenge, but perhaps it might be appropriate to give them some advice as well? Like, maybe offer your "help" to users that you don't make your blood boil and where you are clearly incapable of objectivity? I am sorry if my civility wasn't top grade, but it's not like I went out seeking a dispute, I simply wrote an article, and then found myself dealing with this abuse of power and act of vengeance.

Usedtobecool Really, the resolution I am looking for (it's fine if my simple article takes a year to get published, I'm not actually a dark hat operator getting paid to write it, so it won't impact on my mortgage payments) is not to be harassed in future. It might have sounded sarcastic, but I really mean it - quite literally, what is the list of topics where I will be labelled COI? Then I just won't write about them. I am fine with that. Iamthekanadian ( talk) 04:26, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
Cullen328 Perhaps I wrote it in the wrong place, but I already explained, it is NOT a BRANCH (or chapter) - in fact, UWEO is an independent organization about 3x the size of United Way Canada, which is a much smaller organization - they don't have any control over UWEO whatsoever, in fact, it is more the other way around - United Way Canada exists because the independent United Way local or regional organizations contribute to have a national office to help with convening and national affairs. This is verifiable and has been sourced in the article. If United Way Canada closed tomorrow, it wouldn't change a thing about the other organizations (and yes, UWEO is one of the most significant, as explained in the article). I don't really understand your accusations - I see a lot of passion here - I mean, other users taking the time to label me COI over a past grievance is pretty passionate - it just isn't very productive in terms of Wikipedia. Maybe it's just not something people can understand that I am passionate about my areas of knowledge the same way that a knowledgeable soccer fan might be? That being edited by people who don't know the structures of the sector is just as annoying to me as someone who doesn't know the rules of soccer editing a soccer article? Anyway, you win - I don't care anymore. This clearly isn't a place to get help, it's a place for false accusations, such as evidence of a COI being based on the "vehemence of objections" to the false accusation. Good grief. Do what you want. After all, I Am sitting pretty, what with all my COI and paid editor work, I can hop on my private jet, and then take my helicopter to my yacht, even without getting my big payout for a United Way East Ontario article.

Cullen328 Oh good grief. Because we got $20,000 in emergency COVID-19 funding last year? And someone actually went and looked that up? I didn't even think of it. That's desperately silly. Have you seen the article? Is it not suitably bland and suitably sourced? Do what you want, I am done with the pettiness. I am very familiar with this type of nonsense, I am a certified governance trainer and this is exactly like when a board of directors has gone wrong and they are busy accusing each other and using rules of order as power plays to settle personal disputes. I have no interest in writing articles about topics that aren't actually interesting to me. And if I am going to be stalked by vengeful people who will be scouring the internet with every article I right hoping to slap on a COI label because I once bought a ticket to a gala, no thanks! Iamthekanadian ( talk) 05:01, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
Cullen328 Oh wow, now I am to be sanctioned. Will you be going after my offshore bank accounts, accumulated from all the charities that paid me off for writing articles?

Cullen328 You do realize you inserted yourself into this conversation, right? If the article I wrote is some sort of passion-filled subjective mess, why not apply all this energy to fixing it, instead of attacking me? If you don't think it's an interesting topic worthy of your efforts, fine, move along. Why are YOU so passionate about this to the point of threatening to pursue sanctions?

Hi,
i would like to know what else coverage or improvement would be needed in order to create this article ( /info/en/?search=Draft:MultiCube) as the topic has a huge coverage on youtube with videos with multiple millions of views and also outside coverage indexed by google.
Thanks for reviewing Lejib63111 ( talk) 11:51, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
a huge coverage on youtube with videos with multiple millions of views and also outside coverage indexed by googleis completely irrelevant to Wikipedia. Anybody can put anything they like on YouTube, and anybody can throw up a website and get it indexed by Google. A core policy of Wikipedia, verifiability, says that everything in a Wikipedia article must be backed up by a reliable published source, and mostly by sources unconnected with the subject of the article. YouTube does host some reliable sources - the official channels of major news publishers, for example - but the majority of material there is not reliably published, and may not be cited. On a quick look, the only one of your references which even might contribute to establishing notability is the Gearcraft one: I haven't investigated to see whether that looks like a reliable source. Wikipedia is not interested in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is only interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. You need to find several examples of that, or your draft has no hope of being accepted. -- ColinFine ( talk) 14:43, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

Note: See the subsection for List of Talking Tom & Friends (TV series) episodes at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Archive/2021/10#09 October 2021 for my declined RfPP request. I have made another request here.
List of Talking Tom & Friends (TV series) episodes was initially protected after this discussion because the IP range was too wide to block (see the page history. 2603:9000:6c01:79c:xxxxxxx is the culprit). I had requested page protection again at WP:RfPP after the same address-hopping editor returned to vandalise the templates when the protection expired, and the request was declined because there was "not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection". I am requesting page protection again since I disagree with the declining admin (and the IP editor returned yesterday), but I want to know if there is any clear essay or guideline explaining how much disruptive editing/vandalism (by either IP range hoppers or multiple editors) would warrant page protection.

Hi guys, how are you? I'm new here so I'm sorry if I ask silly questions, I've read a lot about the community but maybe I didn't understand everything well, when I was a kid (Not so long ago I'm 19 now) I used the site to do jobs from school under the influence of my sister and friends, so it became a dream for me to become an editor here, now that I entered college I decided to dedicate myself to writing here because my college is about music so I believe that one thing can influence the other. I decided to start by writing about bands that I like to listen to and admire, and that have people with interesting stories inserted as members, my band chosen to start was Master Dy because it is an immigrant who after she trying to commit suicide in Europe, she create the band that is winning a lot of notoriety, well I followed the band right after this year's release and saw them grow rapidly, the numbers, the quality of the music and many other things set them apart from the rest, yes they are still far from reaching stardom like Iron Maiden hahaha but the story of resilience and exponential growth makes it a remarkable subject, I've been researching the opinion of some people both in my circle of friends and people who listen to the band and I questioned if they thought it coherent for me to start writing about this band on wikipedia, there were few people to be exact 23, and 19 of them said it seemed fair to start with this topic, I know this number I interviewed is small it was a the personal research and it doesn't even compare with the wikipedia public, I would like to know what are the best steps for my content to be approved, which sites can I enter exactly and which would be considered valid? I can't understand this part, because there are exclusive Metal sites that weren't accepted in my article, can anyone help this silly Brazilian here?

Ctrlwiki, you seem to be fixated on rapidly removing unreferenced content. This is a problem because this is a project to build an encyclopedia, not to tear it down. This is not a massive video game. We value quality over quantity. Obviously, you need to remove highly implausible content. But do not remove plausible unreferenced content without doing some work. Does a reference elsewhere in the article verify the content? If so, use the WP:REFNAME function to re-use the reference for that assertion. Formulate a competent Google or Google Books or Google Scholar search to see if you can find a reliable source, and if you find it, add it to the article. If the content seems plausible but you are not able to easily find a source, add a Template: Citation needed tag. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:30, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

i wish to submit that the draft was modified by me to include, reliable independent secondary sources which have significant coverage of the subject. Here are the details of each of the references: Ref 1: This is from a reliable newspaper. This was already accepted by the previous reviewer as a reliable secondary source. Ref 2: This is from the daily newspaper Hindu which is reliable and secondary source and the article has significant coverage of the subject. Ref 3: This is an article by the website Network Rail, which a UK based company, and hence it is a secondary source and it has significant coverage of the subject. Ref 4: This is a USA based journal. Author is also from USA. Hence it is independent secondary source as far as Indian railways is concerned. It has significant coverage of the subject of railway signalling. Ref 5: This article is by an independent website "www.constructionworld.in". The magazine covers construction business from projects policies and people to topical concerns, trends and technology. This is an independent secondary source carrying this complete article on cab signalling on Indian railways. Ref 6: This article is by the global company Ericsson, well known in the field of ICT. Hence a secondary source. The whole article is about modernization of Indian railway signalling. Ref 7: This article is on the site IBEF, which is a knowledge centre for global interests, international policy makers and world media. It carries information about Indian railway industry in general and not about Indian railway signalling. It has been use as a source of general information about Indian railways, which was considered important in the context of the article. Ref 8: This ref is from the daily "Financial Express", which is a reliable secondary source and has significant coverage about the subject.

So, could you please bring me the link to the questions in the Chinese-language Wikipedia, or just discuss with the Chinese-language Wikipedia to unblock me by understanding that all of my experiences in the Chinese-language Wikipedia was totally different from other-language Wikipedia?

I found a red link to France Kralji in /info/en/?search=Videm,_Dobrepolje, but France has a Simple English Wikipedia page here.

Every now and then, I search up "ref name" and then go to advanced settings and fill the "Exactly this text" option with "ref name", I do this to fix occasional reference problems, and uncaught vandalism. On one of these searches, I noticed the article Pierre, South Dakota comes up as a result. However when I go to the article, I can't seem to find the reference problem, in the sample text it says "late spring and summer, and totals about 20 inches (508 mm) annually.,ref name=NCEI/> Extremes have ranged from −35 °F (−37 °C) on February 9, 1994 to" however when I go to the article, that sentence seems to be fine, showing inline citation to reference 14. When I first found this, I thought it was because the system needed time to register recent changes, but now it's been over a day, and the result is still there. How come it is like that?

and totals about {{convert|20|in|0}} annually.<ref name=NCEI/>
. I can confirm that using
this search, the page shows up with the OP’s problem (it shows up as if the "ref name" was in the text, and with a weird comma replacing the opening <
). I have of course no idea what is causing it.

I am trying to add young actress Hattie Gotobed to Wikipedia - she has been in many film and tv shows and mentioned on Wikipedia but not as a page - when doing the citations, as rejected once - how much info do you need - for example what do you put in name part at top? your name, Hattie's name? name of writer etc? then how much of the parts they have on there do you need to add info to - for example - if a news article - is th ename of the author, url of article published enough or? huge thanks Romeha3 ( talk) 17:45, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
I know I've frequented here a number of times but I've been reverted so many times on Rotherham Minster, Doncaster and Essington. Should I seriously start asking for concensus on every single edit I make because there was issues with my Norwich collage, then on my photos of Rotherham Minster and now on Doncaster on a collage with lovely photos of the town and it's prominent landmarks.
I'm trying to contribute positively here but nearly all edits I make get reverted and I'm accused and seen by many as a bad editor and a rude inconsiderate and unable to help editor. Really I'm getting beyond annoyed with silly picky things always making me look bad and nothing positive. I've been told I'm not a positive editor before and a rude inconsiderate uneducated individual by some.
What more can I do when I try to improve or contribute I'm always shot down for being apparently inconsiderate and a problem with the wiki when I try to edit positively but some editors rather see me and my edits as a bad thing then a good thing. I nearly quit wiki for good because of this ongoing crusade I'm feeling. But talked myself back round and take on board advice.
I've adhered to it and listened but I'm still not doing good enough and other editors can take swipes at my work. If I do it back at theirs. I'm see engaging in Edit Warring.
Do I really need to be having a concensus on adding images collages editing leads or making positive contributions?

A tag has been placed on Template:ChongBlia Yang requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Hi. Recently the article Stuart Scheller has been deleted. I believe the deletion was premature and the subject has attracted significant attention since the deletion (if you live in the US, you know who i am talking about) making him notable per WP:BIO. My idea was to reinstate the article (per WP:BOLD , please dont attack me for doing that) and then start another deletion discussion. The problem is, when I added the deletion tempalte per the guideline I found a problem in that the deletion discussion page already exists (from the previous discussion), so I cant start a new discussion where I could provide my arguments why the article should be reinstated. Could someone help me? What should be the corret procedure if I strongly feel the subject matter of the article is notable now, even if it was not when the article was deleted?

I'm confused about the complaint that some of the references in my Sidney Thompson biography are self-promotions, like Negro Fort. I am an author of historical fiction; so I'm thinking people would want to know where they can find books on the history of places like Negro Fort. That might arguably be self-promotional because the information is in my peer-evaluated books vetted by a university press, but the information is history--and history that is hard to find because most of the traditional records are whitewashed with few African-American references and contributions. Srthompson721 ( talk) 17:18, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
I realize I have excessive citations in the article, I will be fixing that now. I am more puzzled by why the references are not considered "in depth" for the subject, since the papers and articles that cite works from this subject clearly use this subject's expertise and works to build upon It would be odd to have an academic paper rely on and cite a work, and then start talking in depth about the author of that work, unless that would be directly relevant to a specific paper about such subjects. So I'm a bit stumped on this one, it seems like there are many external verifiable references to this subject's work.
OP: I'm having trouble with this draft article, which has reliable external references, which I believe adhere to Wikipedia's verifiability standards, but the review declined the draft from being published.

Hi. So, there was a crappy article about M3AAWG, which someone deleted because it was crappy. No argument there. But it's a big organization that nobody argued wasn't notable, and was referenced from a bunch of other places on Wikipedia, so I'd like to get a new article going about them. The issue is that their name is "M3AAWG", with embedded superscript. I keep trying to use
{{DISPLAYTITLE:Pagetitle}}
with no luck, and can't find any examples of article titles with embedded superscript to look at.
For reference, here's an archived copy of the old page, which had a correct-appearing title:
https://web.archive.org/web/20210813212657//info/en/?search=M³AAWG
...but whoever created that page cheated, and used the unicode ³ superscript-3 character in the article title, and put in redirects from "MAAWG" (which is actually a valid former name of the organization) and "M3AAWG" so people could get to it. But it seems pretty clear that you're not supposed to do that, but should instead create a page with the title "M3AAWG", and use {{DISPLAYTITLE:Pagetitle}}
to just display it as M3AAWG.
Except that doesn't seem to be working for me. What am I missing? Or should I just give up and do what they did?
Thanks! EVhotrodder ( talk) 14:30, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I have been working on an AfC ([ [7]] that has now been declined twice. The main, rather general and vague criticism seems to the lack of reliable/notable sources/references. I do however think that the collection of sources/references that includes major English/European/German news sources (The Independent, Spiegel, Zeit, El Pais) plus English- and German-language academic work is solid, particularly when compared to some existing articles. Further inquiry with both reviewers about what part exactly they consider problematic has only yielded "Sorry I don't have the time to check your sources" answers. To be honest, it's rather frustrating when the reviewers don't give concrete expamples of sentences or passages they deem problematic. It would be very helpful if someone said, "Source xyz isn't reliable or notable in my opinion because of this and this" or "This sentence sounds too much like an advertisement if you phrase it like you do", that's something I can work with to improve it. So any help in this matter is appreciated.

I recently created a wiki page, Forresters Manuscript, about a 17th century manuscript of Robin Hood ballads that had only recently been discovered in the late 20th century. I list all the ballads in them, they all have wiki pages, and so I linked them. Much to my consternation, several of the ballads won't link to their wiki pages. The pages do exist, I spelled them correctly, and marked them the right way with [[ ]], but they won't link. The one thing they all have in common is an ' within the title ( Robin Hood's Progress to Nottingham, Robin Hood's Chase, Robin Hood's Delight, etc. What's especially frustrating is that on the main Robin Hood pages, these ballad titles all link properly, but on the edit page, there doesn't seem to be anything different about how these links are marked up from what I'm doing.

I have an issue with Gatekeeping.
I am new to Wiki, and I am trying to post a CONTROVERSY section to the Our Lady of Fatima page. My first attempt was removed for expressing opinions.
I have since revised my controversy section to eliminate all opinions. But when I try to repost, a gatekeeper swiftly takes it down with the tag “undid my revision.”
So if anyone can help moderate, that would be very helpful, because Fatima certainly warrants a controvery section. Ghost apparitions (religious or otherwise) are inherently controversial.
The absence of a controversy section on the Fatima page after so many years is bizarre and almost suspicious—especially since this vision of Mary promoted violence towards children. This is a particularly questionable, potentially very dangeorus “miracle.”
It makes me think Catholic gatekeepers have been removing the controvery section for many years without discovery.
The gatekeeper in this case is using semantics to block the page. He says my use of the term “self-harm rituals” is not encyclopedic language. Fact: the Mary appartion instructed small children to wear ropes tied so tightly around their waists that the ropes became bloody. How is that not a self-harm ritual? The children died afterwards. I have cited the child’s own journals with Mary instructing them to do this rope ritual.
My first source is the book, THE IMMACULATE HEART, published by the reputable Farrar, Straus, and Young. It was written by a Priest who interrogated the witnesses firsthand.
The other book, FATIMA IN LUCIA’S OWN WORDS, was published by the Catholic Church (Imprimatur), which in normal circumstances would be considered a biased press; however in this case it should be admitted, because they are the memoirs of the Saint herself.
If any Wiki moderators could oversee, so that the controvery section doesn’t get automatically deleted, I would appreciate your time so much. The Fatima page is incomplete without thoughtful opposition. Thank you guys. Natalie. Spyrazzle ( talk) 00:18, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

Let's discuss it 17:44, 19 October 2021 (UTC) |
I will work on word choice to make it satisfactory to Wiki, but I am worried about a larger issue. The Fatima page on Wiki has existed for many years---this is a major event in Catholicism---and the fact that there is no existing controversy page after so many years is frankly suspicious. It makes me think that Catholic editors are slyly blocking this info from emerging. A Mary apparition encourages small children to not drink water for 30 days in a row and to tie cords so tightly around their waists that the cords become blood-stained, the Mary apparition is 3 feet tall and sometimes appears with no eyes and no hands, two of the children die with ropes tied around them right up until their final week on their deathbeds, this information is readily available in all libraries, there is a photograph of the dead little girl that you can easily find on Google, and no one has mentioned it on Wikipedia after so many years? I find that bizarre. Everyone keeps saying to reroute this conversation to the Our Lady of Fatima page, where surely only other Catholics and Catholic editors will read it. I thank everyone for their help, but fanatical religious gatekeeping is my concern. Spyrazzle ( talk) 18:28, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

For example, may I add three to five links to this section provide support for Ms. Sobell's work and influence? Please advise.

QUESTION ABOUT BOLDFACE, JAPANESE LANGUAGE LINKS, AND MOVING PAST "DRAFT" STATUS
Dear Wikipedians,
Thanks to your kind help, I was able to publish my first Wikipedia article at /info/en/?search=Hakone_Onsen One question: I wanted to have the paragraph-level names of the specific hotsprings in boldface type. It makes the article easier to read, but is it congruent with Wikipedia style?
Also, I have started on my second Wikipedia article at /info/en/?search=Draft:Aiseki_Shokudō QUESTION: Should I be linking to the Japanese Wikipedia articles about the two places in Japan (Inakadate-mura and Gotōrettō Island)? This draft article seems to have some other infelicities, but I am still a novice and am unsure what they are. Could anyone point them out? Many thanks in advance.

Now I have started to feel nervous this wasn't the right thing to do - it seemed perfectly reasonable at the time! - as my split was to return recently added material back to a draft article page, Draft:Munokalya Mukuni, here. That is not really covered in the WP:SPLIT guide. Maybe I should have told lots of people first, or advised the original editor? Sorry that these thoughts did not occur until I had already moved the material. Wish I had panicked before, rather than after, I did it. What do you think? Have I done the wrong thing? If so, can you advise how to rectify, please? AukusRuckus ( talk) 09:44, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello! I'm not sure if there is a better place to ask, but I'm trying to figure out how I could add an image to the Draft:Willie Wiredhand article, about a corporate mascot. His rival Reddy Kilowatt appears to have a fair use image, but I think Reddy Kilowatt is no longer actively being used whereas Willie Wiredhand is. I think an image like the one here would add a lot to the article. Is there a fair use rationale I can use? Or, can I contact the copyright holder (the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association) and ask them to give some kind of relevant image permission? What should I ask them for? I'd appreciate any advice, or pointers to better places to ask! Thanks! ~ L 🌸 ( talk) 22:42, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
Why are references to the Kyla Titus/Chica Boswell Mannerly book, The Boswell Legacy, considered to be unreliable? That's the only biography that actually quotes from letters and diaries, and from first hand interviews from Vet Boswell while she was alive. The book was approved by the Vet Boswell Family Collection, LLC. I get that there is a prejudice against "vanity" publishing services; however, the content of this book has held up to scrutiny/review. I see this as a self-publishing effort rather than mere vanity.

Hello yes I know this is the 3rd question I've asked today but I need clarification on this one! So on all the articles on the Pokemon games, the short description is very general (for example, on Pokemon Sword and Shield the short description is 2019 video games) and I thought that short descriptions were supposed to be short but still accurately describe the article. Looking at WP:SHORTDESC doesn't help as it doesn't really say whether or not a slightly longer (a little over 40 characters but not too over) but accurate description is preferred over a short (≥40 characters) but very general short description. So I have to know, is a short description that is short but very general preferred over one that might be slightly longer than the recommended limit but isn't very general. ― Blaze The Wolf TalkBlaze Wolf#6545 19:44, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
Blaze The Wolf, numerous editors have already put a great amount of effort into augmenting the articles about Pokemon. No doubt further augmentations and improvements are possible, but I suspect that those readers who are interested in the details are well served elsewhere (by fan sites and so on). Meanwhile, few articles about cities are informative, well-developed, up to date, and free of more or less subtle advertising. Now you know where to find stuff about urban history, why not leave Pokemon coverage for younger editors and get stuck into something that's more important? -- Hoary ( talk) 22:32, 11 October 2021 (UTC)

GoingBatty (
talk) 17:13, 13 October 2021 (UTC)I started in August and some type of robot gave a warm welcoming message. But that was the robot. The actual interactions I have had with established users have been less than welcoming, less than knowledgeable, and often uninformed on their part. In particular the article review process. I started an article on Museums of Florence, not knowing about the "underconstruction flag" because that is how it is done in the Italian Wikipedia. Articles are started and then gradually improved. After move to draft space, it soon became clear that the reviewers were just typing policy names, not knowing what the policies were. I had to explain what WP:WIKIVOICE, WP:NOTESSAY etc. are. I am not kidding, the reviewers did not object to my explanations that they were quoting incorrect policies. They just quoted other incorrect policies! The reality is that Wikipedia is under assault by people who want to build pages for themselves, their dog or their cousin. So the page review process is a boxing match, with reviewers who are fed up, tired and careless. So to be realistic, you people need to tone down the robot and instead warn people that English Wikipedia is a type of fight, with angry page reviewers who have had to fight about pages about pets, cousins and dogs. The tea house robot message was far from real, for all I have seen. Ode+Joy ( talk) 17:07, 12 October 2021 (UTC) Ode+Joy

I declined it both for questions of notability and for tone reasons, because it was written to praise its subject. User:Wikidesloge, who probably is the subject of the draft, has posted a lengthy statement on my talk page explaining why the article meets notability: /info/en/?search=User_talk:Robert_McClenon#Christopher_Desloge,_author,_historian_article
It is not entirely clear whether they are writing about a draft on a person or a draft about a book; but the draft is about the person. I would appreciate any comments from other experienced editors. In particular, if the subject is biographically notable, should a neutral editor rework this puff piece into something encyclopedic? I personally think that it is clear that the author needs to leave it alone. Either they are notable, but they can't write neutrally about themselves; or they are not notable.

User:David notMD writes: "Likely does not understand that you as a Declining reviewer are one-and-done with the draft." That is true, but I will observe that a significant percentage of new editors expect that a reviewer will work with them to walk a draft through the approval process. We nowhere say that a reviewer will work with an author to walk a draft through the approval process, but we nowhere say that a reviewer will not continue to work with the author of a draft. The idea that the reviewer will continue to work with the author on the draft is a common although not universal idea. Sometimes a reviewer does work with an editor, just not usually. This is just an observation of long standing. Robert McClenon ( talk) 23:25, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

File:Frederik6coronation.jpg that was being used? Perhaps the infobox image should be changed, but that might require establishing a consensus to do so at
Talk:Frederick VI of Denmark per
WP:CAUTIOUS. What's really not clear is why you uploaded
File:Frederick VI of Denmark.jpg when the same file already exists as
File:Christoph Wilhelm Wohlien - Portræt af Frederik VI.jpg and was being used in the article. If you wanted to replace the infobox image, then why not use the already existing file. Now, the same image is being used twice in the article which is not a good thing at all. --

In fact, I found many site who is the shop published a product page and put them in wikipedia. I have not seen any of you delete them. Here you mentioned that are you considered to be a recognized authority on zongzi and mooncakes? Here if I publish content on high authority site or news site, then the content can be cited on wikipedia not promotional. Here I are very curious that what kind of content I can be submitted on wikipedia. Even if I submit a content with unique view of point and have not done any promotional elements, wikipedia still reverts my references.

Take this for example:

Why this piece can be submitted on wikipedia? This is the recognized authority? However, this is a content site. Not wallstreetjournal or bbc.
And lululemon /info/en/?search=Lululemon_Athletica
"Women's Accessories". lululemon. "lululemon Partners with APL to Offer Athletic Shoes In-Store". lululemon Athletica. The two references are about their promotional site. People click the site and see the products directly. It is the commercial intention.

I recently submitted information on the high school football career of Elijah Mitchell was subsequently removed on October 11, 2021. The information that was shown on Elijah's high career is incorrect and reflect football stats from Elijah's junior football season NOT senior year. I am the Erath sports historian which can be verified by contacting school officials. While Elijah attended UL Lafayette, I attempted to correct this info and provide the correct info to the University's Athletic Department. University officials never responded to correction requests. I was hoping by editing the correct statistics on Wikipedia, I could provide the correct info. I am glad to cooperate in ay manner to right this wrong. If you were to contact Erath High School, sources at the school would verify my resources?

Hi. The majority of the page “List of the oldest living people,” ie, the list itself, is full of displayed code, instead of that code being hidden and normally acting to format text. This follows the comment “<The template Row numbers is being considered for deletion.>”
I’ve not come across this before, so I doubt it’s any account setting of mine. I’ve been around for years, but mainly just make minor edits. Perhaps it’s some tiny code formatting error that makes a lot of difference, but I don’t know what to look for

I would suggest that the rejection of this proposed article based on lack of notable support is not fully accurate. There are, in fact, notable examples of relevance, and I have attempted to provide a few of them as references within the article. There is ample online (and other) evidence of growing critical recognition and relevance in the form of non-trivial reviews, discographies, and articles, not only to do with four decades' involvement in the Biota (band) that already exists on Wikipedia, but the Sorry For Laughing project that includes artists who have existing Wikipedia pages, and which has its own "story" of interest for as long as Biota involvement. This is an opportunity to expand such discussion around new breakthroughs of audience recognition. The subject also meets the criteria (both with Sorry For Laughing and with Biota) of having two or more albums associated with independent labels with a history of more than a few years, and with a roster of performers, many of whom are independently notable. 5.32.40.122 ( talk) 08:54, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

I'm very intrigued to know why every hamlet village town city district borough unitary authority county article on UK must include a look at ethnicity and religion.
When I read American Canadian Australian etc articles there is no mention of the ethnicity of each place in the lead but instead in a demographic article. But the UK articles seem to need to quote them twice in both the infobox and the demographic or ethnicity tabs of an article.
Why is this the case with UK? Looking at Manchester for example the infobox has the ethnicity but further down is a pie chart a table and a lot of paragraphs. So I'm curious why it can't be simplified to just a table and a brief mention then needing a lot of percentages and mentioning. Same really for Bradford Leeds York Derby Leicester Nottingham Sheffield etc...

As a result, I think it's safe to say that consensus has been reached. However, after some researching of Wikipedia's rules, I'm not sure how to actually get the page to move. I know I'm not supposed to move it myself as I'm an involved editor, and I also know I'm not supposed to request an administrator to do it as that's reserved for contentious discussions.

I think there is intimidation and abuse going on towards me on the Norwich and Talk:Norwich pages. All over a collage with two editors calling it "Depressing" and "Mediocre at most".

Goldengnomee has commented in the edit summary "the old collage was so much better, i'm not even from norwich, but i was suprised to see it got and replaced by something so depressing". And an anon commented something similar. Not just that but also on the talk pages I have seen the following comments.
@ Menacinghat: commented
" I think the old photos used on the other language Wikipedia pages for Norwich are better and the new photos uploaded by Dragonofbaitley are grey and mediocre-looking. The old photos were bright and close-up which meant you didn't have to open the image, while the new ones are zoomed out and largely taken in poor weather.
Thoughts?
The collage made by Deu is far superior."
So they basically are saying Superior as in better and yours DragonofBaitley which they called me is crap.
So these editors and anon have issues whereas at least one editor on there is decent enough to disagree in a professional manor.

Hi, I'm still trying to get my head around what does and does not constitute canvassing, so I would like to put the question of the following example to more experienced users than myself: A user has commented on three separate AfD discussion pages here, here and here not to make a point, but simply to copy in another user. In each case, the premise for the AfD discussion is notability based on sourcing and general notability: in my opinion, it does not require specialist expertise, but this editor is not commenting themselves, but instead deferring to another user. It seems like quite atypical behaviour. Iskandar323 ( talk) 16:13, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi Tea Room, I’m Natalie, and I’m new to Wiki.
i’m seeking assistance because I contributed a CONTROVERSY section to the “Our Lady of Fatima” page and it was deleted under the tag “personal opinion.”
I have since reworked the controversy section to eliminate all opinions, and yet trying to post a new version will result in it being deleted under the tag “removed my edit.”
So if anyone can help moderate, that would be very helpful, because Fatima certainly warrants a controvery section. Ghost apparitions (religious or otherwise) are inherently controversial.
The absence of a controversy section altogether on the Fatima page after so many years is bizarre and almost suspicious—especially since this vision of Mary promoted violence towards children. This is a particularly questionable, potentially very dangeorus “miracle.”

I will be citing from two books. The first one, THE IMMACULATE HEART, was published by the reputable Farrar, Straus and Young. It was written by a Priest who interrogated the witnesses firsthand. The other book, FATIMA IN LUCIA’S OWN WORDS, was published by the Catholic Church (Imprimatur), which in normal circumstances would be considered a biased press; however in this case it should be admitted, because they are the memoirs of the Saint herself. Marian apparations are a bit like the Loch Ness Monster, in the sense that only a few handfuls of people have ever seen them, and so it’s hard to find “credible” citations. For instance it would be hard to cite The New York Times reporting on a Marian apparition, or a Loch Ness sighting. That said, what is more credible a source to a Marian apparition than the personal journals of the only living witness to it? (I would also like to mention that on the existing Fatima page, plenty of biased Catholic news outlets are referenced to substantiate the apparitions, and those sources were not deleted.) I intend to re-post my new and improved controversy section at some point today or tonight. If any Wiki moderators could oversee, so that it doesn’t get automatically deleted, I would appreciate your time so much. The Fatima page is incomplete without thoughtful opposition. Thank you guys. Natalie (Username Spyrazzle)
Controversy The Mary apparition falsely predicted the end of the war, with Lucia relaying what Mary had told her: "The war will end today (13 October 1917). You can expect the soldiers very shortly." 1 But World War 1 didn’t end for more than a year after Mary’s prediction that it had already ended. This alarmed even the interrogating Priest, Dr. Manuel Formigao, whose records of the children still exist: "But listen Lucia" he said on record, "The war is still going on. The papers give news of battles after the 13th. How can you explain that if our Lady said the war would end that day?" Lucia replied, "I don’t know; I only know that I heard her say that the war would end on that day…I said exactly what our Lady had said. 2 Jacinta, the youngest child, was interrogated separately and she said the same thing. “(Mary) said that we were to say the Rosary every day and that the war would end today.” 3 Although Mary correctly predicted the deaths of Francisco and Jacinta Marto, the children may have facilitated their own deaths, as both were documented as having starved and dehydrated themselves during the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic. Their biographer, John De Marchi, who was friends with Lucia, wrote: “In the scorching sun of the serra, when through the bright hours of the day the heat hangs like a hot stove everywhere, they abstained from taking any water through one spell of thirty days, and at another time for nine.” 4 For two full years leading up to their deaths, and even on their deathbeds, the children refused food and water, or drank dirty water from an animal and laundry pond from which their mother forbade them from drinking because it could cause illness 5, and even kept blood-stained cords tied tightly around their waists.6 The vision of Mary praised them for their self-harm rituals, saying to them, “God is pleased with your sacrifices, but He does not want you to sleep with the rope on; only wear it during the day.” 7 On multiple occasions Lucia voiced her concern that the Mary appearing to them was actually “the devil” all along. She wrote: “I began then to have doubts as to whether these manifestations might be from the devil…truly, ever since I had started seeing these things, our home was no longer the same, for joy and peace had fled. What anguish I felt!’ 8 The young girl also suffered a dream during this time period wherein “the devil was laughing at having deceived me.” 9 And Lucia once told her cousin, “If (Mary) asks for me, Jacinta, you tell her why I’m not there. Because I am afraid it is the Devil who sends her to us!” 10

After watching the squid game series on Netflix, I was excited to find the name of the song that commonly appears throughout the show. After finding it, listening too many different Renditions of it, and enjoying it very much, I decided to check to see if the showroom was already noted on Wikipedia to be a part of the show. After finding that it was not, I edited it in. After not doing so correctly with the proper citation, it was deleted, and then I re-added it in to be included at once again, with the proper citation, it was accepted. The individual user who had first identified it for deletion, and then saw that it had been reacted with the proper citation, decided to check out my profile of my individual user, and see what else I've been working on around the website. Finding that I was editing the page to help launch its initial publication on Wikipedia, cited it for removal and how to delete it. I clearly believe that had I not edited that song on the other page, and then proved it accurate with the source after having a deleted, this user would not have gone through my work 2 then filed a report thusly. I understand if it is a tremendous benefit of Wikipedia that all users carry the responsibility and access to grow and evolve our understanding of young every topic on the planet. I also just see it as trolling. I wanted to ask since username=Liz was supportive and really helpful and giving me advice and setting me to work to really do things properly and correctly, fully, though I am also interested in once other people are involved with my page if then I can remove my COI inclusion notification, though it does look pretty cool on my profile and I do like it's listing as such, I just did them never seen it used popularly or noticeably anywhere to a once I get anyone else involved, and they're making edits if then I can remove my listing, as they would be the professional?
My only real question now though was whether anybody would at least admit that it's plausible that this user was trolling me?

I do agree the later accusation of vandalism is unwarranted, but I believe it is due to the warning templates not differentiating between vandalism/disruptive editing.
Looking at all of your contributions, you have a very high revert rate, by at least seven different editors. Presuming you are editing in good faith, i.e., making changes you know or believe to be true, you are running afoul of Wikipedia rules about verification vi references. I suggest you pause, take a deep breath, and turn to the Talk pages of the articles to ask why what you believe to be valid improvements are being reverted.

Removing Incorrect COI Tag I got tagged for COI on an article where I am totally unequivocally NOT in a conflict of interest, and the article was moved to draft as a result, and is now dragging on several months, totally unnecessarily through the review process. I could not get the person to respond when I explained that I am not in a COI, so I just went along with the draft method, figuring no big deal, it will get approved that way, and why get into an argument. Well, I am not at the point where I want that COI removed, and realize I should have taken further action at the time - just wasn't sure how. The article is Draft:United_Way_East_Ottawa.

Thanks GoingBatty to be clear, when I first published the article, this is what happened as per /info/en/?search=User_talk:Iamthekanadian#United_Way_East_Ottawa_moved_to_draftspace "This was moved to draft so that it can go through AFC. It is plain that this is another article where you have a conflict of interest. PER WP:COI, please do not push articles to mainspace where you have a conflict of interest. Run them through AFC if you have a COI. I have submitted the article to AFC for you. --- Possibly ☎ 07:14, 18 July 2021 (UTC)." I am NOT in COI, there is nothing "plain" about it because it is totally false, I feel bullied and persecuted by this action, and There is nothing wrong with the article - it never should have been in draftspace and forced to go through AFC in the first place, which is my main reason for being here at this time - the annoyance that it has unnecessarily delayed the article for months is secondary to the arbitrary and rather punitive action and tone take to falsely label me COI, and I have been reluctant to continue writing anything because I feel that I am going to be stalked and labeled COI, so why bother? Somehow it seems every charitable organization in Canada must have me on their payroll. Who knew my jack of all trades job with a grassroots charity would be so disqualifying as a Wikipedia contributor? Iamthekanadian ( talk) 21:55, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
Possibly your persecutorial response simply proves my point. I never hid anything. As a newbie, I identified as COI and did not understand that just because I worked for the charity I was writing about, I should also identify as a "paid editor" as I am NOT "paid" to do anything here. But this is very old news and obviously you continue to dish out payback for your personal views about it, which is a clear violation of Wikipedia:Assume_good_faith. That was my first article, and yes, a lot of time was wasted on attacking me for those misunderstandings instead of focusing on the the writing. Now it is happening again. I do NOT have a COI for United Way East Ottawa. I do not work for them, have never worked for them, and currently have no formal relationship at all - I once volunteered for them, which as far as I know, is not a COI offense. Being "connected" to something we write about is NOT a COI. You seem to have a COI when it comes to me, as you are stalking my articles and tagging me COI without even having a discussion about it, and now referencing back to my first article - that was resolved. I learned and did everything I Was supposed to do. Your continued attacks and persecution is totally inappropriate but I appreciate you are not hiding that you have made this a personal vendetta, including persisting in a lie that I am COI with United Way East Ottawa. Would you like to be in on a joint email with me to them to prove it? That seems far beyond the scope of what should be required for me to contribute an article, but if it will put an end to your bullying, let's do it. I want to continue writing here, and if you are going to be stalking me and labelling me COI for every Ottawa-based organization for the rest of time, that's not going to work for me, as like most people, I would like to contribute about topics I actually know something about. That's not COI. As for the rejections "similar to an advertisement" is another of those annoyingly subjective pronouncements - I didn't copy any of the information from anywhere, and it is simple language accurately stating the work of the organization, with appropriate sources. But I should not have to be debating this as it should not have been falsely forced into draft because you have decided to punish me for your ongoing issues with my first article. You are clearly emotionally compromised and I kindly ask that your stalking and false claims about me end here. I am not ashamed of working for a charitable organization and writing about other charitable organizations, it is an area of Wikipedia that needs help - this is supposed to be an encouraging space, not a place for personal vendettas, especially when you not only state falsehoods, but use your power here to punish me. Not THAT is shameful. Iamthekanadian ( talk) 03:40, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
GoingBatty it's not civil to unilaterally declare another user as COI without even talking to them about it, and moving their article to draft, is it? I would say that is a clear abuse of power that does not respect Wikipedia:Assume_good_faith and so while you mayjudge my response to not be "civil" you don't seem very concerned about the abuse of power that elicited my response, and I guess the message is "too bad so sad" is that right? There's nothing I can do about being falsely accused? Telling me that the article has improved etc. is a distraction from the help I am seeking - I don't want to be persecuted in this way, not now, and not going forward. So my request for "give me a list of topics where you are going to label me COI" might seem uncivil, but I am serious - I don't want to waste me time writing articles that are going to get labeled COI every time because one editor has decided I am a plague to Wikipedia for trying to contribute an article about one of the biggest charities in Canada, which should certainly be on Wikipedia. I understand they apparently took the issues I experienced with my first article very personally and continue to seek revenge, but perhaps it might be appropriate to give them some advice as well? Like, maybe offer your "help" to users that you don't make your blood boil and where you are clearly incapable of objectivity? I am sorry if my civility wasn't top grade, but it's not like I went out seeking a dispute, I simply wrote an article, and then found myself dealing with this abuse of power and act of vengeance.

Usedtobecool Really, the resolution I am looking for (it's fine if my simple article takes a year to get published, I'm not actually a dark hat operator getting paid to write it, so it won't impact on my mortgage payments) is not to be harassed in future. It might have sounded sarcastic, but I really mean it - quite literally, what is the list of topics where I will be labelled COI? Then I just won't write about them. I am fine with that. Iamthekanadian ( talk) 04:26, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
Cullen328 Perhaps I wrote it in the wrong place, but I already explained, it is NOT a BRANCH (or chapter) - in fact, UWEO is an independent organization about 3x the size of United Way Canada, which is a much smaller organization - they don't have any control over UWEO whatsoever, in fact, it is more the other way around - United Way Canada exists because the independent United Way local or regional organizations contribute to have a national office to help with convening and national affairs. This is verifiable and has been sourced in the article. If United Way Canada closed tomorrow, it wouldn't change a thing about the other organizations (and yes, UWEO is one of the most significant, as explained in the article). I don't really understand your accusations - I see a lot of passion here - I mean, other users taking the time to label me COI over a past grievance is pretty passionate - it just isn't very productive in terms of Wikipedia. Maybe it's just not something people can understand that I am passionate about my areas of knowledge the same way that a knowledgeable soccer fan might be? That being edited by people who don't know the structures of the sector is just as annoying to me as someone who doesn't know the rules of soccer editing a soccer article? Anyway, you win - I don't care anymore. This clearly isn't a place to get help, it's a place for false accusations, such as evidence of a COI being based on the "vehemence of objections" to the false accusation. Good grief. Do what you want. After all, I Am sitting pretty, what with all my COI and paid editor work, I can hop on my private jet, and then take my helicopter to my yacht, even without getting my big payout for a United Way East Ontario article.

Cullen328 Oh good grief. Because we got $20,000 in emergency COVID-19 funding last year? And someone actually went and looked that up? I didn't even think of it. That's desperately silly. Have you seen the article? Is it not suitably bland and suitably sourced? Do what you want, I am done with the pettiness. I am very familiar with this type of nonsense, I am a certified governance trainer and this is exactly like when a board of directors has gone wrong and they are busy accusing each other and using rules of order as power plays to settle personal disputes. I have no interest in writing articles about topics that aren't actually interesting to me. And if I am going to be stalked by vengeful people who will be scouring the internet with every article I right hoping to slap on a COI label because I once bought a ticket to a gala, no thanks! Iamthekanadian ( talk) 05:01, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
Cullen328 Oh wow, now I am to be sanctioned. Will you be going after my offshore bank accounts, accumulated from all the charities that paid me off for writing articles? Thanks for completely ignoring the facts I provided and continuing the personal vendetta. I await the sanctions.

Cullen328 You do realize you inserted yourself into this conversation, right? If the article I wrote is some sort of passion-filled subjective mess, why not apply all this energy to fixing it, instead of attacking me? If you don't think it's an interesting topic worthy of your efforts, fine, move along. Why are YOU so passionate about this to the point of threatening to pursue sanctions? Please give that some thought and I hope you can find some peace with whatever it is that is motivating you to engage in this way. You are posting in MY request for help thread.

Hi,
i would like to know what else coverage or improvement would be needed in order to create this article ( /info/en/?search=Draft:MultiCube) as the topic has a huge coverage on youtube with videos with multiple millions of views and also outside coverage indexed by google.
Thanks for reviewing Lejib63111 ( talk) 11:51, 16 October 2021 (UTC)
a huge coverage on youtube with videos with multiple millions of views and also outside coverage indexed by googleis completely irrelevant to Wikipedia. Anybody can put anything they like on YouTube, and anybody can throw up a website and get it indexed by Google. A core policy of Wikipedia, verifiability, says that everything in a Wikipedia article must be backed up by a reliable published source, and mostly by sources unconnected with the subject of the article. YouTube does host some reliable sources - the official channels of major news publishers, for example - but the majority of material there is not reliably published, and may not be cited. On a quick look, the only one of your references which even might contribute to establishing notability is the Gearcraft one: I haven't investigated to see whether that looks like a reliable source. Wikipedia is not interested in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is only interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources. You need to find several examples of that, or your draft has no hope of being accepted. -- ColinFine ( talk) 14:43, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

Note: See the subsection for List of Talking Tom & Friends (TV series) episodes at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Archive/2021/10#09 October 2021 for my declined RfPP request. I have made another request here.
List of Talking Tom & Friends (TV series) episodes was initially protected after this discussion because the IP range was too wide to block (see the page history. 2603:9000:6c01:79c:xxxxxxx is the culprit). I had requested page protection again at WP:RfPP after the same address-hopping editor returned to vandalise the templates when the protection expired, and the request was declined because there was "not enough recent disruptive activity to justify protection". I am requesting page protection again since I disagree with the declining admin (and the IP editor returned yesterday), but I want to know if there is any clear essay or guideline explaining how much disruptive editing/vandalism (by either IP range hoppers or multiple editors) would warrant page protection.

Hi guys, how are you? I'm new here so I'm sorry if I ask silly questions, I've read a lot about the community but maybe I didn't understand everything well, when I was a kid (Not so long ago I'm 19 now) I used the site to do jobs from school under the influence of my sister and friends, so it became a dream for me to become an editor here, now that I entered college I decided to dedicate myself to writing here because my college is about music so I believe that one thing can influence the other. I decided to start by writing about bands that I like to listen to and admire, and that have people with interesting stories inserted as members, my band chosen to start was Master Dy because it is an immigrant who after she trying to commit suicide in Europe, she create the band that is winning a lot of notoriety, well I followed the band right after this year's release and saw them grow rapidly, the numbers, the quality of the music and many other things set them apart from the rest, yes they are still far from reaching stardom like Iron Maiden hahaha but the story of resilience and exponential growth makes it a remarkable subject, I've been researching the opinion of some people both in my circle of friends and people who listen to the band and I questioned if they thought it coherent for me to start writing about this band on wikipedia, there were few people to be exact 23, and 19 of them said it seemed fair to start with this topic, I know this number I interviewed is small it was a the personal research and it doesn't even compare with the wikipedia public, I would like to know what are the best steps for my content to be approved, which sites can I enter exactly and which would be considered valid?

Ctrlwiki, you seem to be fixated on rapidly removing unreferenced content. This is a problem because this is a project to build an encyclopedia, not to tear it down. This is not a massive video game. We value quality over quantity. Obviously, you need to remove highly implausible content. But do not remove plausible unreferenced content without doing some work. Does a reference elsewhere in the article verify the content? If so, use the WP:REFNAME function to re-use the reference for that assertion. Formulate a competent Google or Google Books or Google Scholar search to see if you can find a reliable source, and if you find it, add it to the article. If the content seems plausible but you are not able to easily find a source, add a Template: Citation needed tag. Cullen328 Let's discuss it 03:30, 17 October 2021 (UTC)

Here is what i replied to the blocked reviewer:
""Draft Indian Railways Signalling page Dear Krishnavilasom Bhageerathan Pilla,
i wish to submit that the draft was modified by me to include, reliable independent secondary sources which have significant coverage of the subject. Here are the details of each of the references: Ref 1: This is from a reliable newspaper. This was already accepted by the previous reviewer as a reliable secondary source. Ref 2: This is from the daily newspaper Hindu which is reliable and secondary source and the article has significant coverage of the subject. Ref 3: This is an article by the website Network Rail, which a UK based company, and hence it is a secondary source and it has significant coverage of the subject. Ref 4: This is a USA based journal. Author is also from USA. Hence it is independent secondary source as far as Indian railways is concerned. It has significant coverage of the subject of railway signalling. Ref 5: This article is by an independent website "www.constructionworld.in". The magazine covers construction business from projects policies and people to topical concerns, trends and technology. This is an independent secondary source carrying this complete article on cab signalling on Indian railways. Ref 6: This article is by the global company Ericsson, well known in the field of ICT. Hence a secondary source. The whole article is about modernization of Indian railway signalling. Ref 7: This article is on the site IBEF, which is a knowledge centre for global interests, international policy makers and world media. It carries information about Indian railway industry in general and not about Indian railway signalling.

Hello. I would like to ask you for making me much easier:
I just got blocked in the Chinese-language Wikipedia, but not the other, while my experience in the Chinese-language Wikipedia was indeed different and not the same as other-language Wikipedia. I'm too worried that I'm being blocked in the Chinese-language Wikipedia for a long time. So, could you please bring me the link to the questions in the Chinese-language Wikipedia, or just discuss with the Chinese-language Wikipedia to unblock me by understanding that all of my experiences in the Chinese-language Wikipedia was totally different from other-language Wikipedia? In fact, my experience in the Chinese-language Wikipedia was totally different with pages relating to upazila, etc. I'm indeed too scared.

We, the English Wikipedia community, get a lot of requests for help in other WMF projects, especially foreign Wikipedias, also Commons. I have started a suggestion at Idea Lab to have a Help Center that provides (unofficial) information about how to request help on other Wikipedias for those Wikipedias. This would simply provide a copy in English on the English Wikipedia of the official help on how to resolve problems, requests unblocks, whatever, on foreign Wikipedias. It's an Idea Lab idea.

Every now and then, I search up "ref name" and then go to advanced settings and fill the "Exactly this text" option with "ref name", I do this to fix occasional reference problems, and uncaught vandalism. On one of these searches, I noticed the article Pierre, South Dakota comes up as a result. However when I go to the article, I can't seem to find the reference problem, in the sample text it says "late spring and summer, and totals about 20 inches (508 mm) annually.,ref name=NCEI/> Extremes have ranged from −35 °F (−37 °C) on February 9, 1994 to" however when I go to the article, that sentence seems to be fine, showing inline citation to reference 14. When I first found this, I thought it was because the system needed time to register recent changes, but now it's been over a day, and the result is still there. How come it is like that?

I know I've frequented here a number of times but I've been reverted so many times on Rotherham Minster, Doncaster and Essington. Should I seriously start asking for concensus on every single edit I make because there was issues with my Norwich collage, then on my photos of Rotherham Minster and now on Doncaster on a collage with lovely photos of the town and it's prominent landmarks.
I'm trying to contribute positively here but nearly all edits I make get reverted and I'm accused and seen by many as a bad editor and a rude inconsiderate and unable to help editor. Really I'm getting beyond annoyed with silly picky things always making me look bad and nothing positive. I've been told I'm not a positive editor before and a rude inconsiderate uneducated individual by some.
What more can I do when I try to improve or contribute I'm always shot down for being apparently inconsiderate and a problem with the wiki when I try to edit positively but some editors rather see me and my edits as a bad thing then a good thing. I nearly quit wiki for good because of this ongoing crusade I'm feeling. But talked myself back round and take on board advice.
I've adhered to it and listened but I'm still not doing good enough and other editors can take swipes at my work. If I do it back at theirs. I'm see engaging in Edit Warring.
Do I really need to be having a concensus on adding images collages editing leads or making positive contributions?

A tag has been placed on Template:ChongBlia Yang requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Hi. Recently the article Stuart Scheller has been deleted. I believe the deletion was premature and the subject has attracted significant attention since the deletion (if you live in the US, you know who i am talking about) making him notable per WP:BIO. My idea was to reinstate the article (per WP:BOLD , please dont attack me for doing that) and then start another deletion discussion. The problem is, when I added the deletion tempalte per the guideline I found a problem in that the deletion discussion page already exists (from the previous discussion), so I cant start a new discussion where I could provide my arguments why the article should be reinstated. Could someone help me? What should be the corret procedure if I strongly feel the subject matter of the article is notable now, even if it was not when the article was deleted?

I'm confused about the complaint that some of the references in my Sidney Thompson biography are self-promotions, like Negro Fort. I am an author of historical fiction; so I'm thinking people would want to know where they can find books on the history of places like Negro Fort. That might arguably be self-promotional because the information is in my peer-evaluated books vetted by a university press, but the information is history--and history that is hard to find because most of the traditional records are whitewashed with few African-American references and contributions. Srthompson721 ( talk) 17:18, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
I realize I have excessive citations in the article, I will be fixing that now. I am more puzzled by why the references are not considered "in depth" for the subject, since the papers and articles that cite works from this subject clearly use this subject's expertise and works to build upon It would be odd to have an academic paper rely on and cite a work, and then start talking in depth about the author of that work, unless that would be directly relevant to a specific paper about such subjects. So I'm a bit stumped on this one, it seems like there are many external verifiable references to this subject's work.
OP: I'm having trouble with this draft article, which has reliable external references, which I believe adhere to Wikipedia's verifiability standards, but the review declined the draft from being published.

Hi. So, there was a crappy article about M3AAWG, which someone deleted because it was crappy. No argument there. But it's a big organization that nobody argued wasn't notable, and was referenced from a bunch of other places on Wikipedia, so I'd like to get a new article going about them. The issue is that their name is "M3AAWG", with embedded superscript. I keep trying to use
{{DISPLAYTITLE:Pagetitle}}
with no luck, and can't find any examples of article titles with embedded superscript to look at.
For reference, here's an archived copy of the old page, which had a correct-appearing title:
https://web.archive.org/web/20210813212657//info/en/?search=M³AAWG
...but whoever created that page cheated, and used the unicode ³ superscript-3 character in the article title, and put in redirects from "MAAWG" (which is actually a valid former name of the organization) and "M3AAWG" so people could get to it. But it seems pretty clear that you're not supposed to do that, but should instead create a page with the title "M3AAWG", and use {{DISPLAYTITLE:Pagetitle}}
to just display it as M3AAWG.
Except that doesn't seem to be working for me. What am I missing? Or should I just give up and do what they did?
Thanks! EVhotrodder ( talk) 14:30, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I have been working on an AfC ([ [7]] that has now been declined twice. The main, rather general and vague criticism seems to the lack of reliable/notable sources/references. I do however think that the collection of sources/references that includes major English/European/German news sources (The Independent, Spiegel, Zeit, El Pais) plus English- and German-language academic work is solid, particularly when compared to some existing articles. Further inquiry with both reviewers about what part exactly they consider problematic has only yielded "Sorry I don't have the time to check your sources" answers. To be honest, it's rather frustrating when the reviewers don't give concrete expamples of sentences or passages they deem problematic. It would be very helpful if someone said, "Source xyz isn't reliable or notable in my opinion because of this and this" or "This sentence sounds too much like an advertisement if you phrase it like you do", that's something I can work with to improve it. So any help in this matter is appreciated.

I recently created a wiki page, Forresters Manuscript, about a 17th century manuscript of Robin Hood ballads that had only recently been discovered in the late 20th century. I list all the ballads in them, they all have wiki pages, and so I linked them. Much to my consternation, several of the ballads won't link to their wiki pages. The pages do exist, I spelled them correctly, and marked them the right way with [[ ]], but they won't link. The one thing they all have in common is an ' within the title ( Robin Hood's Progress to Nottingham, Robin Hood's Chase, Robin Hood's Delight, etc. What's especially frustrating is that on the main Robin Hood pages, these ballad titles all link properly, but on the edit page, there doesn't seem to be anything different about how these links are marked up from what I'm doing.

I have an issue with Gatekeeping.
I am new to Wiki, and I am trying to post a CONTROVERSY section to the Our Lady of Fatima page. My first attempt was removed for expressing opinions.
I have since revised my controversy section to eliminate all opinions. But when I try to repost, a gatekeeper swiftly takes it down with the tag “undid my revision.”
So if anyone can help moderate, that would be very helpful, because Fatima certainly warrants a controvery section. Ghost apparitions (religious or otherwise) are inherently controversial.
The absence of a controversy section on the Fatima page after so many years is bizarre and almost suspicious—especially since this vision of Mary promoted violence towards children. This is a particularly questionable, potentially very dangeorus “miracle.”
It makes me think Catholic gatekeepers have been removing the controvery section for many years without discovery.
The gatekeeper in this case is using semantics to block the page. He says my use of the term “self-harm rituals” is not encyclopedic language. Fact: the Mary appartion instructed small children to wear ropes tied so tightly around their waists that the ropes became bloody. How is that not a self-harm ritual? The children died afterwards. I have cited the child’s own journals with Mary instructing them to do this rope ritual.
My first source is the book, THE IMMACULATE HEART, published by the reputable Farrar, Straus, and Young. It was written by a Priest who interrogated the witnesses firsthand.
The other book, FATIMA IN LUCIA’S OWN WORDS, was published by the Catholic Church (Imprimatur), which in normal circumstances would be considered a biased press; however in this case it should be admitted, because they are the memoirs of the Saint herself.
If any Wiki moderators could oversee, so that the controvery section doesn’t get automatically deleted, I would appreciate your time so much. The Fatima page is incomplete without thoughtful opposition. Thank you guys. Natalie. Spyrazzle ( talk) 00:18, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

Spyrazzle, our role as Wikipedia editors is to accurately summarize what reliable sources say, and it is contrary to policy to draw conclusions that do not appear in the sources. Please read
WP:SYNTHESIS which is part of a core content policy.

I will work on word choice to make it satisfactory to Wiki, but I am worried about a larger issue. The Fatima page on Wiki has existed for many years---this is a major event in Catholicism---and the fact that there is no existing controversy page after so many years is frankly suspicious. It makes me think that Catholic editors are slyly blocking this info from emerging. A Mary apparition encourages small children to not drink water for 30 days in a row and to tie cords so tightly around their waists that the cords become blood-stained, the Mary apparition is 3 feet tall and sometimes appears with no eyes and no hands, two of the children die with ropes tied around them right up until their final week on their deathbeds, this information is readily available in all libraries, there is a photograph of the dead little girl that you can easily find on Google, and no one has mentioned it on Wikipedia after so many years? I find that bizarre. Everyone keeps saying to reroute this conversation to the Our Lady of Fatima page, where surely only other Catholics and Catholic editors will read it. I thank everyone for their help, but fanatical religious gatekeeping is my concern. Spyrazzle ( talk) 18:28, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
I spent a few hours yesterday on research to add links to articles on the "External Links" section of a Wikipedia page. I followed all instructions. Today, they don't appear. Please advise, many thanks! Fellowfeline ( talk) 13:45, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
I spent hours researching additional links for the Wikipedia page of /info/en/?search=Nina_Sobell. I added them yesterday to the "External Links" section and they do not appear today.
Can you help? 13:49, 19 October 2021 (UTC) Fellowfeline ( talk) Fellowfeline ( talk) 13:49, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
Hi there, thanks for your explanation. However, can you or the editor who removed the links to Nina Sobell's page provide specific guidance on the number of links I may add to the "External Links" section? For example, may I add three to five links to this section provide support for Ms. Sobell's work and influence? Please advise.

QUESTION ABOUT BOLDFACE, JAPANESE LANGUAGE LINKS, AND MOVING PAST "DRAFT" STATUS
Dear Wikipedians,
Thanks to your kind help, I was able to publish my first Wikipedia article at /info/en/?search=Hakone_Onsen One question: I wanted to have the paragraph-level names of the specific hotsprings in boldface type. It makes the article easier to read, but is it congruent with Wikipedia style?
Also, I have started on my second Wikipedia article at /info/en/?search=Draft:Aiseki_Shokudō QUESTION: Should I be linking to the Japanese Wikipedia articles about the two places in Japan (Inakadate-mura and Gotōrettō Island)? This draft article seems to have some other infelicities, but I am still a novice and am unsure what they are. Could anyone point them out? Many thanks in advance.

|title=
parameter should have the Japanese title, the |trans-title=
parameter should have the English title, and the template should include |language=Japanese
. Hope this helps, and happy editing!

Now I have started to feel nervous this wasn't the right thing to do - it seemed perfectly reasonable at the time! - as my split was to return recently added material back to a draft article page, Draft:Munokalya Mukuni, here. That is not really covered in the WP:SPLIT guide. Maybe I should have told lots of people first, or advised the original editor? Sorry that these thoughts did not occur until I had already moved the material. Wish I had panicked before, rather than after, I did it. What do you think? Have I done the wrong thing? If so, can you advise how to rectify, please? AukusRuckus ( talk) 09:44, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
