Hi, I have recently created an article on a Russian politician that a user moved that page to a draft, which they might have a justified reason for the article to be moved in to a draft. I have added additional sources to that article to clear that submission into the main space. However, I am unable to submit it, because either a user did not add a submission button or there seemed to be a glitch. Can you find a way to fix that problem? Thanks.

I would like to add two sources to Myles Moylan's Wiki page to support the fact that he was born in Tuam, Co Galway.
"The Moylans of Tuam". JOTS (18): 42–55. Retrieved 17 November 2021.
which traces the life and career of two Tuam men Myles Moylan and his nephew Bro Michael Titus Moylan (Superior General of the Christian Brothers (1900 - 1905) was published in the Journal of the Old Tuam Society (#18) last week. I would like to use this secondary source to support the fact that Myles was born in Tuam rather than Amesbury.
I would also like to attach Myles Moylan's Findagrave page as a reference to his Tuam birth - "Myles Molan". Findgrave. Retrieved 21 November 2021.
His Findagrave reference was cited before but was later deleted. For anybody who is researching Myles, it contains some primary records (which I know Wiki frowns upon) and also connections to his parents, some of his siblings and his nephew.
Is there somebody out there who can oblige me and add those sources for me, please?

Hello, Teahouse hosts…
Many pages on Wikipedia cannot use VisualEditor… or so I thought. Apparently, you can edit any page using VisualEditor by entering “/info/en/?search=insert_your_title_here?veaction=edit”, and VisualEditor will load… have you ever tried this, or do you already know this? Like, as I speak here, I edited this page partially using VisualEditor. I’m kind of puzzled… — 3PPYB6 — TALK — CONTRIBS — SANDBOXES — LOGS — 18:22, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
Dear Wikipedia Teahouse. I am new to Wiki writing, and stumbling around a little on how best to proceed with an article. I have looked online for a related topic on this subject, but found that there is no pages that relate to listing and informing about the Aviation companies that were commissioned to design and produce Aircraft during WWII for the UK. There are lists of planes, but no article that discusses the companies or their factories, history, bombing during the war with images in one location. I would be very interested in doing this and having a map showing the location of the factories in the UK. It would be my first article and would be interested in doing a collaborative page if anyone is interested. Advice on how to proceed with a page, with recommendations would be appreciated.
I am also interested in making a page on known locations of downed aircraft around the UK's waters. This one might be tricky, as I no of no sources so far that discuses this and may need a lot of research in newspapers.

Hi Teahouse, I was just cleaning up Public Service Commission (Kenya), the biggest part of which is material copy-pasted from a webpage. The material is relevant, and I don't think it's a copyright violation to copy this if the source is cited. (But maybe it is - I admit that I'm not super familiar with how laws, etc are handled in this context. In that case I suppose someone could throw the whole thing into a block quote.) It's possible to condense this material (and omit parts), but not to paraphrase it.
My questions are: does this need to go in a block quote on wikipedia (to avoid copyvio)? And, does this kind of information belong on wikipedia in this form in the first place? Or should it be significantly condensed to only its most important parts anyway? asilvering ( talk) 18:55, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

In this edit I intentionally changed a redirect from targeting an article to targeting a disambiguation page. To my surprise, the "adding disambiguation links" tag was added. In a way, it makes sense (I added a link to a disambiguation page), but on the other hand, the tag is probably meant for when someone adds a link in an article without knowing it's a disambiguation page, like if I added a link to Georgia or Mercury in an article. Can something be changed so that this tagging isn't activated when the end result of the edit is a redirect? I reported this at WP:EF/FP but was sent here for a reason I don't understand: the responding editor said both that the tag isn't activated and that it's working properly. 72.77.45.188 ( talk) 17:15, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

There is some repetition in how you describe the paintings were returned to and were influential for the people throughout many thousands of years, perhaps check if someone of it can be consolidated or made less similar.

I'm writing my first ever article from scratch, albeit I've written essays for practically empty existing articles many times before, so I know what I'm doing.
One thing I'm never sure about however, is when to use bold, italics and "quotations."
Although I know that "quotations" are used on songs.
I'm at one of those situations now, while writing about some early appearances of a former footballer turned rapper.
I'm mentioning and referencing a few of the Youtube channel's he appeared on, but as they don't have Wikipedia articles like SB.TV, Mixtape Madness, Link Up TV and GRM Daily do, I'm wondering whether I should put the channel names in bold, italics or "quotations"?

My interest in CAlifornia health systems drew me to Prime Healthcare, where I was struck by the difference in how Wiki editors handle the material. Whereas large systems such as Sutter and Kaiser are given the opportunity to list history, background, hospital names, etc, Prime's editing history is aggressive and heavy handed. The result is a page listing controversy and nothing else. Prime owns 45 hospitals nationwide, employs 50000 people, but you wouldn't know it by Wiki. BTW I am in no way affiliated or compensated by Prime; my research is for a graduate program. I'm just amazed at the discrepancy and poor treatment. I haven't researched it enough to determine whether sources should be improved on deleted materials, but that is different than what edit history shows. Any attempts to improve the page are immediately deleted wholesale, in apparent violation of Wiki editing rules. (I attempted to undo some edits myself) Can anyone explain this?

2402:3A80:1A4C:A17E:9C61:AA1F:59E2:32A2 came and added welcomed me. Till date, I could not understand anything, why an ipv6 was coming an leaving me messages on my talk page. Today again an ipv6 2402:3A80:1A4C:6E8:43C:D3FB:1E1F:28CA came and gave me a vandalism warning on an edit that I made two articles namely,
Piet van der Sluijs and
Dré Saris, where I had only added a more reference needted tag using twinkle. It was my mistake or not is a far matter, but then he leaves me another link to learn wikipedia in under an hour link. He also answers one of my questions in the teahouse. The thing is all these ipv6 start with 2402:3A80, and blablubbs has stated previously that it is block evasion of sock amkgp. Now what is to be done? Should I raise a sockpuppet investigation request?? Would it be possible to block just huge range ipv6s? Please give me suggestion in this matter.

Hi, I am trying to publish an article about a triceratops skull nicknamed 'Dragon King' which was sold last year which is the biggest skull ever found, but the article was rejected due to a lack of sources. The sale was private so there wasn't a lot of press generated, but what there was is referenced. The skull is definitely the biggest in the world. How would I go about validating that? Would an image of the skull with dimensions count? What could I use to validate it.
Any suggestions would be very welcome. I should make clear that I have no financial stake in this at all, it is simply a fact that the skull is the biggest found and I think should be public information. Maudjohnson90 ( talk) 16:27, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I see my equation has been rejected AGAIN for inclusion into the Wikipedia Hubble chart (for reference and comparison purposes ONLY),
due to the fact there are no write ups about it in the posh "closed shop" journals. That is quite true, and I definitely agree with that.
HOWEVER, if you look closely at the sources of the vast majority of the measured Hubble Constant values entered, you will quickly conclude
that the reference for each individual (or small research group) for each of the measured entries are simply the input of each independent
single observer (or small research team) working independently, and very VERY few of these are mentioned in any of those posh journals.
So, how are they (with no posh references) allowed, and not me?????????? It seems as different rules apply to "favourites"
-not exactly fair play??
All I am asking for is a "level playing field", without discrimination !!!!!!!
Is it because I dare to show Hubble's "elusive" Constant can now be easily "fixed" with a simple equation. Not "elusive" any more!!

Is it possible to to use the following equation as a Hubble Constant value for reference purposes only on the Hubble Chart page?
It is unique in the fact no measuring processes are involved, so accuracy of Hubble's Constant is as good as the inputted speed of light :-
2 X a Megaparsec X C, divided by Pi to the power of 21 = 71 Kilometres / Second / Megaparsec
For this equation, a Parsec is the standard 3.26 light years. C is light speed in Kilometres / Second, and Pi is 3.142.......
This equation "fixes" Hubble's Constant directly and precisely to light speed (C) and Pi.
As this equation is original, there are no references, but it has been tested, and has successfully withstood many challenges since 2008.
I am quite happy if it were used anonymously, due to the fact there are no references.
The lack of external references was (rightly) the reason it was rejected as a stand alone article / submission.
No copyrights are involved, as it is purely lifted from my work (Astrogeometry), and is not the work of anyone else
I feel its anonymous inclusion on the Hubble Chart page would stimulate new interest in what has now become a "Hubble Constant stalemate".

Hello, again Teahouse hosts,
Sorry if I am being a bit slow here, I've tried reading the relevant links but I'm finding everything a bit opaque. I have had two "Standard ArbCom sanctions notice" dropped on my talk page by a particular administrator with whom I had a disagreement about a fairly subjective topic. No edits were involved, the discourse on the talk page remained civil throughout, and after making my case as best I could, I left the page. I'm not sharing this in an effort to get someone to overturn anything or tell me I was in the right, but I'm having a little trouble understanding what these notices mean in practical terms.
Generally speaking, I have no intention of ever making an edit on a contentious matter without approval from the talk page, but if my butting heads with one administrator over an issue that they have strong interests in means I will not be able to edit any biographies going forward, it's something I'd like to look at appealing. If it just means administrators are going to be looking a little more closely at my edits, I'm fine with that.

but I would never have actually made edits that were likely to ruffle feathers—It's not so much the edits as the subject area that is concerned; even making minor, entirely uncontroversial edits to an article under discretionary sanctions is likely to see you given a notification of those sanctions; it's simply that editing an article in that remit at all will signal that you're paying attention to them and therefore should be given a fair heads-up about it. It doesn't reflect on the substance of anything you have done or may yet do. ᵹʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ꭗ 23:07, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi all! What do I do if an image I edited to replace a previous one is too similar and is rejected by Wiki as a duplicate?
I'm working on the article of the Battle of Gosselies, and I created some battle maps using Google Earth and historical maps. However I'm still improving and refining my research, and I got one location slightly off and edited my image to reflect the correct location. Essentially all I did was move one white dot on the map. This was not detected by Wiki and it flagged it as a duplicate, which it isn't. So I can't update the map, and I can't delete the original file I uploaded either. As a battle map and as a location that was part of the combat, that location matters. How do I replace that image and get the updated image accepted? Talamioros ( talk) 15:39, 26 November 2021 (UTC)
I would like to edit an article of a singer/actress. Her filmography section currently lists dozens of appearances on variety/noontime/game shows in the Television section. Is it proper to include these appearances or should they be deleted? I should note that her career right now is basically as a film actress and singer. So I just find it somewhat weird to include all these random appearances in her filmography. Her participation in these shows is a guest or performer, not as a host. What's the policy on this?

Hello, I am having trouble publishing an article about an actor I like. He is in two series on Netflix, and a few different sites containing biographical information.

Netflix is not considered an independent sourcedoesn't really make sense without context. Netflix is not an independent source for information about any Netflix show, or the people involved in one. It could in principle be an independent source about something else (though I don't know in what circumstances Netflix might publish information about something else). -- ColinFine ( talk) 17:46, 27 November 2021 (UTC)
@ ColinFine: Thank you for the clarification. Yes, I assumed that Netflix would not be a credible source if I were writing about Netflix, but I thought it would be credible for citing the actor's achievements. @ Karenthewriter:No need to sign in as I was not signed in either. There are the three main actors listed at the top of the site, but if you scroll down until after the episode list, there is a more extensive list with Mr Kalimulin's name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sirspensir ( talk • contribs) 07:44, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello, my name is Chloe Bailey & I've been asked to create a Wikipedia page for a good friend of mine who plays basketball overseas. Unfortunately, I do not know what I'm doing and my sandbox and edits keep getting flagged. I can provide all the information and images & references
A page was once created for the basketball player by a wiki admin. Everything was accurate except the admin listed him as deceased in which he contacted wiki and explained to them he was not dead and he wanted that information removed. Instead of just removing that bit of information, they removed the entire page. What do I need to do to have the page reinstated or does it need to go to another editor?
I copied and pasted the information he sent to me. He's very relevant and notable. He played for the Minnesota Timberwolves until suffering a career-ending injury.

Jermaine Barnes https://ubanow.com https://wubanow.com https://www.theunitedcup.com/ Jermaine Barnes (born October 7, 1982) is an American former professional basketball player who also served as General Manager and Head Coach for the Rheinland Lions (Germany). Barnes played college basketball with the Abraham Baldwin Stallions for two years, before transferring to Point University for his senior season. He then started his professional career in Japan signing with the Saitama Broncos of the BJ League, a minor league basketball organization owned and run by the JBL.

Hi, I guess a quick question with quick answer here: I just worked on my second article for the english wiki and I am a bit confused as to why the process seems different. Last time I wrote something like a draft and then - when I felt it was ready - I actively had to submit it to be reviewed by someone before it got published. I assumed that this would be the standard work process. However, now in my second article I don´t find this button to send it to review. Is it already public now? I actually would have liked to keep it in draft mode for today and look over it again tomorrow before submitting.
I probably did something different this time, but I am not sure what it was. Would love to have the draft option next time again if possible, as people last time suggested I should not use my sandbox to draft an article :-)

Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels. This also applies to people who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them.
Major local political figures who have received significant press coverageare notable. So, ultimately, it depends. As most things do on Wikipedia XD –– FormalDude talk 23:53, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi folks, I’ve been really interested to learn about how Wikipedia managed to morph from an open source information repository plagued with vandalism and poorly referenced articles to something infinitely better than the encyclopaedias I grew up with. For now though I’m concerned about disinformation and the effect it has on functioning democracies so I’m motivated to help in some way. I’d like help understanding 2 things.
1) When I’ve found a search is unsuccessful so have clicked ‘request this page’ but backed out before following through I’ve always wondered if there is a bot which collects those search terms and perhaps analyses for frequent topics. Is this the case?
2) I’ve got a lot to learn and I really don’t want to step on anyone’s toes so any etiquette tips regarding how to approach disinformation would be much appreciated. I’ve picked a complicated example deliberately so that I can get some nuanced responses. I’m hoping seasoned editors can share a bit about the way they apply logic when ensuring that a media outlet is accurately described on Wikipedia.
eg. “Because the academic and social progress of my students was at stake, I followed the COVID-19 data closely from the beginning. And I found that school closures were irrational and counterproductive. According to the most comprehensive studies to date, COVID’s survival rate among children and adolescents appears to be around 99.995%.” I then looked at the reference link provided (WSJ) and then wiki/The_Wall_Street_Journal
“(The Journal's) editorial board has promoted views that are at odds with the scientific consensus on climate change, acid rain, and ozone depletion, as well as on the health dangers of passive smoking, pesticides, and asbestos.[13]” https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/school-closures-covid-alex-gutentag [13] https://www.wsj.com/articles/in-children-risk-of-covid-19-death-or-serious-illness-remain-extremely-low-new-studies-find-11625785260
There is an 11yo page for ‘tabletmag’ but I don’t feel it accurately reflects that content. I can see that submissions are accepted so it’s clear an editorial decision was made to publish these 4 articles. Even with very little training in formal logic I can spot a ‘call to authority’ at 50 paces but I am a complete novice about process and context so how hosts relate their own editorial practice in relation to disinformation will help me work out whether there is anything useful I can contribute here. Ideally I’d like a cue sheet of ‘if/then’ actions I can take when the Tsunami of disinformation falls upon us as it undoubtedly will when an election is called.
Thanks for any and all insight or messages related to this post. Please be kind. It has been a rough few years for everyone. EthicalAugur ( talk) 15:52, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
Thank you all very much for taking the time to respond. I’ll take some time to do the reading and get back to you if I get stuck. I’m clueless regarding tagging and response conventions so will see how the bots parse this before even attempting. NB my comments about submissions and editorial process relate only to the media site ‘tabletmag’ and definitely not to Wikipedia itself. I would like this to be clear from the outset. Can anyone fast track me regarding best practice guidelines for adding an NB: or EDIT: to my original post? EthicalAugur ( talk) 01:41, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

I recently started an article for a living musician that is well-known and well-respected in the folk scene in my state but whose career has primarily been more national - having collaborated or performed with many musicians (who have their own wikipedia articles) in multiple genres (folk, classical, one pop group). She's been a featured guest performer for ensembles, etc, and performs with her own musical group or solo. So I don't think the problem is that she isn't notable enough for wikipedia given the criteria I see at WP:singers, the problem is me. Apparently I don't have enough experience to write an acceptable article (I had assumed more experienced editors would contribute, but first I have to establish notability so the page isn't deleted). I did a bunch of basic wikipedia tutorials and read all the beginner and basic documentation awhile back so I know a lot of the basics for articles that aren't about people. Before starting this article I reviewed WP biographies of living persons to understand what is and isn't allowed. So I followed wikipedia's motto "be bold" (i.e. don't wait to make something perfect / complete) with the assumption that other editors would help build it or at least put the tags for citation needed, etc. However, the article itself was immediately tagged for deletion because that reviewer thought it was promo material for a non-notable musician. So I'm trying to improve the article with more cited sources but every time I try to add content to substantiate notability, the reviewer tells me I'm violating wikipedias soapbox/promo policy. I read WP policy that coverage in a newspaper can't be primarily a concert announcement, but has to be more substantial, so I found a long interview from a major newspaper that substantiated basic facts but I'm told interviews can't be used. Part of the problem I'm finding is that articles and venue websites or concert programs I find for sources often include the same factual / performance info that artists share on their own websites, making it hard to find independent sources to substantiate those facts. I look at other musicians articles on wikipedia of similar stature (or less) and it seems like they are using the same kinds of sources I'm turning to and citing. Since my searches of newspaper databases are yielding the most content, I'd love some more advice on what a good cite-worthy newspaper source should include. Or if you can refer me to acceptable WP articles on specific folk or classical musicians (notable but not celebrity status) that I can look at for models, that would help me a lot. My goal is to have a good enough article that it won't be deleted. From there the world can take over. Sorry this question is so long! thanks Colliedog ( talk) 02:31, 30 November 2021 (UTC) Colliedog ( talk) 02:31, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Recently, the NOlympics LA article has been created. So I added more info. Unfortinately, my edits were biased. As a result, I ceased making biased edits after an admin told me about this. However, another user just warned me just because I corrected the grammar in this article despite the fact I ceased making biased edits after I read that warning from another admin and despite the fact that it has a lot of edit errors. Is there is any advice? I tried to be neutral as I can. SpinnerLaserzthe2nd ( talk) 04:43, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello Sir, I am excited to be part of the wikipedia family of editors. I have just started editing. I wish to know if there is a page of a film which is not released or completed yet can there be a page on it? There are no proper citations which show its notability or success. What should one do ? I noticed about a page which has not much significance. Whom should I point it out to ?or let it be for expert editors to work on it.

Thanks for your reply. I am aware that wikipedia is very strict in its rules hence asked a question. I am not in anyway associated with the film. But noticed there are many such pages floated on films which have not been released or don't really fit the criteria of notability but still are on wikipedia. one such example is page Tauba Tera Jalwa. Thus was curious to know what happens to such pages. Jumboweb ( talk) 18:54, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

I have an anecdote someone told me, over fifty years ago. I know of no backup source in which it is documented, and I'm wondering whether the anecdote will, in effect, die with me. I doubt that it's acceptable in the Wikipedia article that it pertains to, but is there some other, general repository for recording anecdotes?
Realizing that if I simply added it to the article, it would be deleted, I wrote instead on the talk page. But it was removed from there. The reviewer kindly recommended the Teahouse, hence this post.
And to give you an idea about what kind of anecdote this is: here's what I put on the Talk page:
Garsdale station is a mile or two away from the village of Garsdale proper. Folklore has it that someone asked why it was so far. The answer as I remember it, in northern dialect, "Happen they built it near the railway." I don't know if the wording is exact, and have no source, but if someone can verify it, perhaps this anecdote can be included. 2603:6010:4E42:500:30CF:D92B:C7CE:93E2 ( talk) 00:44, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
Hello i want to create a music section in a article for very notable Ethiopian/Amharic musicians. I found more than enough pictures of male performers of different genre's/era's, but not enough of female performers pictures are uploaded even though there's probably just as many of articles.
Can i request the wiki community here/somewhere for the upload of pictures?
Pictures of oldies and deceased Asnaketch Worku and Bizunesh Bekele. Old and alive Emahoy Tsegué-Maryam Guèbrou.
Less old Gigi (singer), Abby Lakew and Tsedenia Gebremarkos. Some newer ones Betty G and Munit Mesfin.
For the two deceased it's (almost) impossible to figure out who owns the copyright and/or if there is any, based on google searches. Does someone has a better way?
I just need one of the 3 oldies, and one of the newer/less old. Dawit S Gondaria ( talk) 08:41, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi all. I'm writing an article on an individual who was born in a Cossack family. Generally Cossacks are interpreted to be of Ukrainian or Russian descent, however this individual was not Slavic but of Buryat(Mongolian) descent. There is an article on Buryat Cossacks on the Russian language wiki(this does not exist on the English wikipedia) but this would create a red link and I am trying to keep red links to a minimum. On the other hand I could add the English language wikilink on Cossacks but this could create confusion about things such as his nationality. What is the ideal thing to do here? Many thanks.

Cullen and Tigraan thank you so much for your responses - I am trying to learn about Wiki - I know absolutely nothing about how it works - for example - why do I even have a wiki page? who wrote it? why? lol - and I reread the LAT article which I had only read once 9 years ago and laughed as I was reminded of that piece and a few others that ran - all of which had shades of truth to them - but being a bit overwhelmed with the picking through my personal life that was going on I just kept moving - never stopping to point out inaccuracies or bends on truths - Tigraan, I really appreciate you saying to err on the side of privacy with regards to a date not specifically stated in the article - and as it is my personal life and I have no desire or agency by which I could put an update to any facts or relationships to organizations cited from the article - I'm not sure what there is to do - If you asked me what I'd prefer - it is privacy - I have no twitter or facebook - I don't have social media profiles - my personal opinion about any news outlet like the LAT associating anyone with AA is that it is dangerous both for that individual and AA itself - the second A being Anonymous - any association I might have or have had with AA is irrelevant and unprovable as I don't think those meetings take minutes or roll call - I know that my opinions don't matter and I appreciate wiki editors trying to base articles on fact - I see that wiki graded that LAT article a C - which makes it a somewhat shaky reference - I truly appreciate you both responding to my questions - and I really appreciate the nod towards privacy - and any further nods in that direction would be greatly appreciated - I'd love the personal life section to go away - I also didn't really grow up near saratoga racetrack - it was 3 hours from my house - I went a few times in my life - I will reread the wiki page and see if there is anything I can add to improve the facts - sorry to go long here - cheers - have a great day, gents ----
Lalalabusyx46 To answer one of your questions, the article was created by User:Bobamnertiopsis back in 2013, and edited by many people since then. History of edits seen by clicking on View history, top menu. Given that it is about you (accepting that you are who you say you are), your path for changes is to create a New section on the Talk page of the article, and there post the specific changes you want, as in delete _____ and add _____, including references for the latter. All content must be verified by refs. Wikipedia does respect personal privacy, so you can also post requests that certain information by removed, especially if not germane to whatever makes you notable.

Dear Wikipedia Teahouse. I am new to Wiki writing, and stumbling around a little on how best to proceed with an article. I have looked online for a related topic on this subject, but found that there is no pages that relate to listing and informing about the Aviation companies that were commissioned to design and produce Aircraft during WWII for the UK. There are lists of planes, but no article that discusses the companies or their factories, history, bombing during the war with images in one location. I would be very interested in doing this and having a map showing the location of the factories in the UK. It would be my first article and would be interested in doing a collaborative page if anyone is interested. Advice on how to proceed with a page, with recommendations would be appreciated.
I am also interested in making a page on known locations of downed aircraft around the UK's waters. This one might be tricky, as I no of no sources so far that discuses this and may need a lot of research in newspapers.

Hi Teahouse, I was just cleaning up Public Service Commission (Kenya), the biggest part of which is material copy-pasted from a webpage. The material is relevant, and I don't think it's a copyright violation to copy this if the source is cited. (But maybe it is - I admit that I'm not super familiar with how laws, etc are handled in this context. In that case I suppose someone could throw the whole thing into a block quote.) It's possible to condense this material (and omit parts), but not to paraphrase it.
My questions are: does this need to go in a block quote on wikipedia (to avoid copyvio)? And, does this kind of information belong on wikipedia in this form in the first place? Or should it be significantly condensed to only its most important parts anyway? asilvering ( talk) 18:55, 21 November 2021 (UTC)

In this edit I intentionally changed a redirect from targeting an article to targeting a disambiguation page. To my surprise, the "adding disambiguation links" tag was added. In a way, it makes sense (I added a link to a disambiguation page), but on the other hand, the tag is probably meant for when someone adds a link in an article without knowing it's a disambiguation page, like if I added a link to Georgia or Mercury in an article. Can something be changed so that this tagging isn't activated when the end result of the edit is a redirect? I reported this at WP:EF/FP but was sent here for a reason I don't understand: the responding editor said both that the tag isn't activated and that it's working properly. 72.77.45.188 ( talk) 17:15, 23 November 2021 (UTC)

I'm trying to revise the section in accordance with the following advice of FunkMonk in the talk page:
There is some repetition in how you describe the paintings were returned to and were influential for the people throughout many thousands of years, perhaps check if someone of it can be consolidated or made less similar.

I'm writing my first ever article from scratch, albeit I've written essays for practically empty existing articles many times before, so I know what I'm doing.
One thing I'm never sure about however, is when to use bold, italics and "quotations."
Although I know that "quotations" are used on songs.
I'm at one of those situations now, while writing about some early appearances of a former footballer turned rapper.
I'm mentioning and referencing a few of the Youtube channel's he appeared on, but as they don't have Wikipedia articles like SB.TV, Mixtape Madness, Link Up TV and GRM Daily do, I'm wondering whether I should put the channel names in bold, italics or "quotations"?

My interest in CAlifornia health systems drew me to Prime Healthcare, where I was struck by the difference in how Wiki editors handle the material. Whereas large systems such as Sutter and Kaiser are given the opportunity to list history, background, hospital names, etc, Prime's editing history is aggressive and heavy handed. The result is a page listing controversy and nothing else. Prime owns 45 hospitals nationwide, employs 50000 people, but you wouldn't know it by Wiki. BTW I am in no way affiliated or compensated by Prime; my research is for a graduate program. I'm just amazed at the discrepancy and poor treatment. I haven't researched it enough to determine whether sources should be improved on deleted materials, but that is different than what edit history shows. Any attempts to improve the page are immediately deleted wholesale, in apparent violation of Wiki editing rules. (I attempted to undo some edits myself) Can anyone explain this?

Hi, first I was blocked on the ground of thinking to be a sockpuppet, and the sockpuppet investigation was raised by an ipv6 ip
2402:3A80:6E1:9A2E:A110:65A0:5AD7:4F15. The sock investigation page is
here. In the Clerk, CheckUser, and/or patrolling admin comments section Blablubbs commented and said The filer is obviously
Amkgp loutsocking. I blocked them for a bit.
Then after the block expired then again another comment was added by ipv6 user
2402:3A80:1A4E:9197:C5B8:CED1:C0FD:9A1D, and then blablubbs blocked the ipv6 again. When it was proved that I am not a sockpuppet, this ipv6
2402:3A80:1A4C:A17E:9C61:AA1F:59E2:32A2 came and added welcomed me. Till date, I could not understand anything, why an ipv6 was coming an leaving me messages on my talk page. Today again an ipv6 2402:3A80:1A4C:6E8:43C:D3FB:1E1F:28CA came and gave me a vandalism warning on an edit that I made two articles namely,
Piet van der Sluijs and
Dré Saris, where I had only added a more reference needted tag using twinkle. It was my mistake or not is a far matter, but then he leaves me another link to learn wikipedia in under an hour link. He also answers one of my questions in the teahouse. The thing is all these ipv6 start with 2402:3A80, and blablubbs has stated previously that it is block evasion of sock amkgp. Now what is to be done? Should I raise a sockpuppet investigation request?? Would it be possible to block just huge range ipv6s? Please give me suggestion in this matter.

Hi, I am trying to publish an article about a triceratops skull nicknamed 'Dragon King' which was sold last year which is the biggest skull ever found, but the article was rejected due to a lack of sources. The sale was private so there wasn't a lot of press generated, but what there was is referenced. The skull is definitely the biggest in the world. How would I go about validating that? Would an image of the skull with dimensions count? What could I use to validate it.
Any suggestions would be very welcome. I should make clear that I have no financial stake in this at all, it is simply a fact that the skull is the biggest found and I think should be public information. Maudjohnson90 ( talk) 16:27, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I see my equation has been rejected AGAIN for inclusion into the Wikipedia Hubble chart (for reference and comparison purposes ONLY),
due to the fact there are no write ups about it in the posh "closed shop" journals. That is quite true, and I definitely agree with that.
HOWEVER, if you look closely at the sources of the vast majority of the measured Hubble Constant values entered, you will quickly conclude
that the reference for each individual (or small research group) for each of the measured entries are simply the input of each independent
single observer (or small research team) working independently, and very VERY few of these are mentioned in any of those posh journals.
So, how are they (with no posh references) allowed, and not me?????????? It seems as different rules apply to "favourites"
-not exactly fair play??
All I am asking for is a "level playing field", without discrimination !!!!!!!

I write to inform you that I have been trying to edit a page on Wikipedia with the link: Homeopathy , as I quite disagree with the present content. But every time I attempt it, the page comes with a warning as highlighted below:
You are subject to discretionary sanctions if you edit this article. The use of discretionary sanctions has been authorized by the Arbitration Committee for pages related to pseudoscience and fringe science, including this page. Please consult the awareness criteria and edit carefully. Does that mean my edits on this page will not be accepted? If not, then what does it really imply?

Hello. One of the reasons I became an editor was an interest in filling some of the gaps in bibliographies I am familiar with. What I'm unsure about is if an author has a large bibliography with Wiki articles already created for most of their books (for example; Stephen Baxter bibliography), am I safe in assuming I can create pages for those novels which do not have an article, or might the lack of an article be for a reason?
Thanks in advance. John Bullock ( talk) 20:01, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Is it possible to to use the following equation as a Hubble Constant value for reference purposes only on the Hubble Chart page?
It is unique in the fact no measuring processes are involved, so accuracy of Hubble's Constant is as good as the inputted speed of light :-
2 X a Megaparsec X C, divided by Pi to the power of 21 = 71 Kilometres / Second / Megaparsec
For this equation, a Parsec is the standard 3.26 light years. C is light speed in Kilometres / Second, and Pi is 3.142.......
This equation "fixes" Hubble's Constant directly and precisely to light speed (C) and Pi.
As this equation is original, there are no references, but it has been tested, and has successfully withstood many challenges since 2008.
I am quite happy if it were used anonymously, due to the fact there are no references.
The lack of external references was (rightly) the reason it was rejected as a stand alone article / submission.
No copyrights are involved, as it is purely lifted from my work (Astrogeometry), and is not the work of anyone else
I feel its anonymous inclusion on the Hubble Chart page would stimulate new interest in what has now become a "Hubble Constant stalemate".

Hello, again Teahouse hosts,
Sorry if I am being a bit slow here, I've tried reading the relevant links but I'm finding everything a bit opaque. I have had two "Standard ArbCom sanctions notice" dropped on my talk page by a particular administrator with whom I had a disagreement about a fairly subjective topic. No edits were involved, the discourse on the talk page remained civil throughout, and after making my case as best I could, I left the page. I'm not sharing this in an effort to get someone to overturn anything or tell me I was in the right, but I'm having a little trouble understanding what these notices mean in practical terms.
Generally speaking, I have no intention of ever making an edit on a contentious matter without approval from the talk page, but if my butting heads with one administrator over an issue that they have strong interests in means I will not be able to edit any biographies going forward, it's something I'd like to look at appealing. If it just means administrators are going to be looking a little more closely at my edits, I'm fine with that.

but I would never have actually made edits that were likely to ruffle feathers—It's not so much the edits as the subject area that is concerned; even making minor, entirely uncontroversial edits to an article under discretionary sanctions is likely to see you given a notification of those sanctions; it's simply that editing an article in that remit at all will signal that you're paying attention to them and therefore should be given a fair heads-up about it. It doesn't reflect on the substance of anything you have done or may yet do. ᵹʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ꭗ 23:07, 26 November 2021 (UTC)

Hello, my name is Chloe Bailey & I've been asked to create a Wikipedia page for a good friend of mine who plays basketball overseas. Unfortunately, I do not know what I'm doing and my sandbox and edits keep getting flagged. I can provide all the information and images & references
A page was once created for the basketball player by a wiki admin. Everything was accurate except the admin listed him as deceased in which he contacted wiki and explained to them he was not dead and he wanted that information removed. Instead of just removing that bit of information, they removed the entire page. What do I need to do to have the page reinstated or does it need to go to another editor?
I copied and pasted the information he sent to me. He's very relevant and notable. He played for the Minnesota Timberwolves until suffering a career-ending injury.

Jermaine Barnes https://ubanow.com https://wubanow.com https://www.theunitedcup.com/ Jermaine Barnes (born October 7, 1982) is an American former professional basketball player who also served as General Manager and Head Coach for the Rheinland Lions (Germany). Barnes played college basketball with the Abraham Baldwin Stallions for two years, before transferring to Point University for his senior season. He then started his professional career in Japan signing with the Saitama Broncos of the BJ League, a minor league basketball organization owned and run by the JBL. Barnes played for the USA National Team in 2012 (FIBA Jones Cup). He would sign a non-guaranteed contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has also played professionally in Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Taiwan, Dominican Republic, Costa Rico, Uruguay, Spain, Lebanon, and Germany. At 6'4, Barnes can play any position around the perimeter and has a respectable post-game. His recorded accolades include multiple MVP awards, championships, first-team mentions, and an incredible 63-point performance while hooping professionally in Japan in 2008 (All-Japan Tournament). Barnes is a well-known force in the basketball world. Early life Jermaine Barnes was born in Atlanta, Georgia at Crawford Long Hospital. He grew up in Morrow, GA. Barnes attended and played basketball with Morrow High School. He started varsity as a freshman and sophomore was named All-Region. Barnes was offered several scholarships from Auburn, Tennessee, Georgia State, and Morris Brown University. He would lose all offers after losing academic eligibility as a junior. In his senior season, he led Morrow to the GHSA Regional and State playoffs while averaging 18 points and 11 rebounds per game. He graduated as the school's 3rd all-time leading scorer and rebounder. Morrow High School retired his number 15 after he graduated. Barnes opted to attend Abraham Baldwin, a community college near the city of Tifton. He starred and averaged 15.3 points and 8.7 rebounds after two full seasons. Barnes helped the Stallions to the best record in school history and a national ranking of 18th. However, after two years, he returned home to Atlanta and transferred to Point University. He reportedly did not qualify for NCAA Division I offers after not graduating from ABAC. He started his college career with Georgia Southwestern University in 2004, after sitting out the 2004–05 season while establishing academic eligibility. Barnes would not return to GSW after a season-ending injury to his ankle. While recovering from the ankle injury, combined with his conflict with coach Leeder, Barnes transferred schools to Point University who now plays in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). By transferring from an NCAA school to an NAIA school, Barnes did not have to sit out another season. He also switched his major from psychology/sociology to a business major. He concluded his college career thereby averaging 26.0 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game as a senior. He led the Point University Skyhawks to the ACC Championship and was named the SSAC Player of the Year. He then played in the 2006 National Basketball Tournament, leading the Skyhawks to the Sweet Sixteen, where they were defeated by the Southeastern. Despite failing to win the championship, Barnes was named as National Player of the Year by Usbasket.com and as co-Player of the Year the NCCAA. He would also be named USB First Team All-American. Professional Career Proline Tokyo Kings (2006–07) Barnes was automatically eligible for the 2006 NBA Draft after finishing his four-year college eligibility. However, he went undrafted. He then attended the NBA summer pro league, formerly known as the Southern California Summer Pro League, held in Long Beach, California. After receiving any interest Barnes signed a contract to play in the Japan Basketball Association (JBA) and join the lower-ranked Proline Tokyo Kings. On March 11, 2008, after playing 24 games while averaging 39.5 points and 10.9 rebounds with the Kings, Barnes was selected to play in the All-Japan Emperor's Cup. In 8 games Barnes would shock the country averaging an event best 48.9 points per game and setting the single-game scoring record with 63 points.

When I first created my draft article
Draft:Lucia Nifontova, it had an AfC submission
template. After a lengthy editing period, I pressed the submission button and it seems to have added another AfC submission
template without removing the first one (
diff). Was it supposed to? My draft doesn't have the banner I typically see on other draft articles.

Hi, I guess a quick question with quick answer here: I just worked on my second article for the english wiki and I am a bit confused as to why the process seems different. Last time I wrote something like a draft and then - when I felt it was ready - I actively had to submit it to be reviewed by someone before it got published. I assumed that this would be the standard work process. However, now in my second article I don´t find this button to send it to review. Is it already public now? I actually would have liked to keep it in draft mode for today and look over it again tomorrow before submitting.
I probably did something different this time, but I am not sure what it was. Would love to have the draft option next time again if possible, as people last time suggested I should not use my sandbox to draft an article :-)

My conclusion is that, as far as I am aware, Prof. Krauth's curriculum vitae incorporates/fulfils the following criteria:

The latter is also what he went by professionally on his LinkedIn, for example, and is what most articles refer to him as.

Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels. This also applies to people who have been elected to such offices but have not yet assumed them.
Major local political figures who have received significant press coverageare notable. So, ultimately, it depends. As most things do on Wikipedia XD –– FormalDude talk 23:53, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi folks, I’ve been really interested to learn about how Wikipedia managed to morph from an open source information repository plagued with vandalism and poorly referenced articles to something infinitely better than the encyclopaedias I grew up with. For now though I’m concerned about disinformation and the effect it has on functioning democracies so I’m motivated to help in some way. I’d like help understanding 2 things.
1) When I’ve found a search is unsuccessful so have clicked ‘request this page’ but backed out before following through I’ve always wondered if there is a bot which collects those search terms and perhaps analyses for frequent topics. Is this the case?
2) I’ve got a lot to learn and I really don’t want to step on anyone’s toes so any etiquette tips regarding how to approach disinformation would be much appreciated. I’ve picked a complicated example deliberately so that I can get some nuanced responses. I’m hoping seasoned editors can share a bit about the way they apply logic when ensuring that a media outlet is accurately described on Wikipedia.
eg. “Because the academic and social progress of my students was at stake, I followed the COVID-19 data closely from the beginning. And I found that school closures were irrational and counterproductive. According to the most comprehensive studies to date, COVID’s survival rate among children and adolescents appears to be around 99.995%.” I then looked at the reference link provided (WSJ) and then wiki/The_Wall_Street_Journal
“(The Journal's) editorial board has promoted views that are at odds with the scientific consensus on climate change, acid rain, and ozone depletion, as well as on the health dangers of passive smoking, pesticides, and asbestos.[13]” https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/school-closures-covid-alex-gutentag [13] https://www.wsj.com/articles/in-children-risk-of-covid-19-death-or-serious-illness-remain-extremely-low-new-studies-find-11625785260
There is an 11yo page for ‘tabletmag’ but I don’t feel it accurately reflects that content. I can see that submissions are accepted so it’s clear an editorial decision was made to publish these 4 articles. Even with very little training in formal logic I can spot a ‘call to authority’ at 50 paces but I am a complete novice about process and context so how hosts relate their own editorial practice in relation to disinformation will help me work out whether there is anything useful I can contribute here. Ideally I’d like a cue sheet of ‘if/then’ actions I can take when the Tsunami of disinformation falls upon us as it undoubtedly will when an election is called.
Thanks for any and all insight or messages related to this post. Please be kind. It has been a rough few years for everyone. EthicalAugur ( talk) 15:52, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
Thank you all very much for taking the time to respond. I’ll take some time to do the reading and get back to you if I get stuck. I’m clueless regarding tagging and response conventions so will see how the bots parse this before even attempting. NB my comments about submissions and editorial process relate only to the media site ‘tabletmag’ and definitely not to Wikipedia itself. I would like this to be clear from the outset. Can anyone fast track me regarding best practice guidelines for adding an NB: or EDIT: to my original post? EthicalAugur ( talk) 01:41, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi, I've found helpful explanations on this forum relating to article deletion but I'm seeking more guidance. I recently started an article for a living musician that is well-known and well-respected in the folk scene in my state but whose career has primarily been more national - having collaborated or performed with many musicians (who have their own wikipedia articles) in multiple genres (folk, classical, one pop group). She's been a featured guest performer for ensembles, etc, and performs with her own musical group or solo. So I don't think the problem is that she isn't notable enough for wikipedia given the criteria I see at WP:singers, the problem is me. Apparently I don't have enough experience to write an acceptable article (I had assumed more experienced editors would contribute, but first I have to establish notability so the page isn't deleted). I did a bunch of basic wikipedia tutorials and read all the beginner and basic documentation awhile back so I know a lot of the basics for articles that aren't about people. Before starting this article I reviewed WP biographies of living persons to understand what is and isn't allowed. So I followed wikipedia's motto "be bold" (i.e. don't wait to make something perfect / complete) with the assumption that other editors would help build it or at least put the tags for citation needed, etc. However, the article itself was immediately tagged for deletion because that reviewer thought it was promo material for a non-notable musician. So I'm trying to improve the article with more cited sources but every time I try to add content to substantiate notability, the reviewer tells me I'm violating wikipedias soapbox/promo policy. I read WP policy that coverage in a newspaper can't be primarily a concert announcement, but has to be more substantial, so I found a long interview from a major newspaper that substantiated basic facts but I'm told interviews can't be used. Part of the problem I'm finding is that articles and venue websites or concert programs I find for sources often include the same factual / performance info that artists share on their own websites, making it hard to find independent sources to substantiate those facts. I look at other musicians articles on wikipedia of similar stature (or less) and it seems like they are using the same kinds of sources I'm turning to and citing. Since my searches of newspaper databases are yielding the most content, I'd love some more advice on what a good cite-worthy newspaper source should include. Or if you can refer me to acceptable WP articles on specific folk or classical musicians (notable but not celebrity status) that I can look at for models, that would help me a lot. My goal is to have a good enough article that it won't be deleted. From there the world can take over.

I have an anecdote someone told me, over fifty years ago. I know of no backup source in which it is documented, and I'm wondering whether the anecdote will, in effect, die with me. I doubt that it's acceptable in the Wikipedia article that it pertains to, but is there some other, general repository for recording anecdotes?
Realizing that if I simply added it to the article, it would be deleted, I wrote instead on the talk page. But it was removed from there. The reviewer kindly recommended the Teahouse, hence this post.
And to give you an idea about what kind of anecdote this is: here's what I put on the Talk page:
Garsdale station is a mile or two away from the village of Garsdale proper. Folklore has it that someone asked why it was so far. The answer as I remember it, in northern dialect, "Happen they built it near the railway." I don't know if the wording is exact, and have no source, but if someone can verify it, perhaps this anecdote can be included. 2603:6010:4E42:500:30CF:D92B:C7CE:93E2 ( talk) 00:44, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Cullen and Tigraan thank you so much for your responses - I am trying to learn about Wiki - I know absolutely nothing about how it works - for example - why do I even have a wiki page? who wrote it? why? lol - and I reread the LAT article which I had only read once 9 years ago and laughed as I was reminded of that piece and a few others that ran - all of which had shades of truth to them - but being a bit overwhelmed with the picking through my personal life that was going on I just kept moving - never stopping to point out inaccuracies or bends on truths - Tigraan, I really appreciate you saying to err on the side of privacy with regards to a date not specifically stated in the article - and as it is my personal life and I have no desire or agency by which I could put an update to any facts or relationships to organizations cited from the article - I'm not sure what there is to do - If you asked me what I'd prefer - it is privacy - I have no twitter or facebook - I don't have social media profiles - my personal opinion about any news outlet like the LAT associating anyone with AA is that it is dangerous both for that individual and AA itself - the second A being Anonymous - any association I might have or have had with AA is irrelevant and unprovable as I don't think those meetings take minutes or roll call - I know that my opinions don't matter and I appreciate wiki editors trying to base articles on fact - I see that wiki graded that LAT article a C - which makes it a somewhat shaky reference - I truly appreciate you both responding to my questions - and I really appreciate the nod towards privacy - and any further nods in that direction would be greatly appreciated - I'd love the personal life section to go away - I also didn't really grow up near saratoga racetrack - it was 3 hours from my house - I went a few times in my life - I will reread the wiki page and see if there is anything I can add to improve the facts - sorry to go long here - cheers - have a great day, gents ----
Lalalabusyx46 To answer one of your questions, the article was created by User:Bobamnertiopsis back in 2013, and edited by many people since then. History of edits seen by clicking on View history, top menu. Given that it is about you (accepting that you are who you say you are), your path for changes is to create a New section on the Talk page of the article, and there post the specific changes you want, as in delete _____ and add _____, including references for the latter. All content must be verified by refs. Wikipedia does respect personal privacy, so you can also post requests that certain information by removed, especially if not germane to whatever makes you notable.

Hello! I attempted to add the template {{ Infobox Wikipedia user}} to my userpage but I appear to have done something wrong as it's not displaying correctly. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? ― Blaze The Wolf TalkBlaze Wolf#6545 15:42, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
To add next to a statement so that it can be explained? I don't know what it's called (weasel words?). I've only seen [By whom?] or [When?], but never seen [How?]. Lupine453 ( talk) 20:11, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
Does an image/artwork from 1585 contained in a book which is published under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 belong to public domain? Can it be uploaded to wikimedia commons? I am talking about this image which I have uploaded to English Wikipedia under fair use clause but now I discover that the entire book that contains this artwork is published under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Can I transfer this to commons? If yes, with what rationale? Thanks in advance. Mosesheron II ( talk) 20:22, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
I've forgotten how to submit a new article and can't fathom for some reason. It seems to be in a sandbox /info/en/?search=Frank_E._Taylor Am feeling a bit dim, apologies. Likeybikey ( talk) 17:34, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
Wikignome Wintergreen Thanks so much! Trying to fix, if you have time to advise, this link is good https://www.pulitzer.org/winners/karl-shapiro so where have I gone wrong?

I wanted to add this source ( https://www.reddit.com/r/MeansTV/comments/dmgmki/no_olympics_in_la_no_olympics_in_tokyo_no/) to the NOlympics LA article. I am not sure if its okay or not.
Also, in terms of biased edits, do you think the current revision is better than this edit or do you think it needs editing?

Hi, my username is Rzzor and I'm a new user. Can someone tell me some shortcuts like using the two apostrophes to italicize? Thanks. (Also, what's a tilde?) Edit: Thank you Blaze and Rose for helping me. I'll probably use this information later writing articles. Rzzor ( talk) 18:53, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
Hi, I recently changed an image for a search entry on the Wiki page but now it's not showing up in the Google search box. It's just text in the Google search box for this entry. Any help would be appreciated! 69.131.216.32 ( talk) 19:53, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
Thanks very much!

Why does "Alexandria Times" on wiki not include the name of its Founding Editor and Publisher, John Arundel? I sold the paper to Denise Dunbar in 2009 but there is no mention as to who founded the paper. I live in Alexandria, VA. with my children, and this is my legacy. This is deeply hurtful to me. Please change. Thank you, John Arundel

I am writing an article but it has been declined for publication about three times. I do think the subject is qualified as there are books and other publications that write about his inventions so I am wondering if the way the article is written, is the problem.. I have since the last decline, changed some things, so I think it might be better but appreciate any help. All advice is welcome. Thanks! Vedlagt ( talk) 20:14, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
I have an anecdote someone told me, over fifty years ago. I know of no backup source in which it is documented, and I'm wondering whether the anecdote will, in effect, die with me. I doubt that it's acceptable in the Wikipedia article that it pertains to, but is there some other, general repository for recording anecdotes?
Realizing that if I simply added it to the article, it would be deleted, I wrote instead on the talk page. But it was removed from there. The reviewer kindly recommended the Teahouse, hence this post.
And to give you an idea about what kind of anecdote this is: here's what I put on the Talk page:
Garsdale station is a mile or two away from the village of Garsdale proper. Folklore has it that someone asked why it was so far. The answer as I remember it, in northern dialect, "Happen they built it near the railway." I don't know if the wording is exact, and have no source, but if someone can verify it, perhaps this anecdote can be included. 2603:6010:4E42:500:3869:D33C:BCBC:A7CA ( talk) 16:44, 30 November 2021 (UTC) 2603:6010:4E42:500:3869:D33C:BCBC:A7CA ( talk) 16:44, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Do I have to have 500 edits or more to become a new pages reviewer? I only have about 210, but want to become a new pages reviewer to help with Wikipedia. HelixxUnderscore ( talk) 18:57, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
