Im Gonna sign this arcticle as afd because it would be better if it was just a section in the nWo arctile. TzarN64 ( talk) 18:50, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
The article is Nawab Mir Khudrath Nawaz Jung Bahadur. I noticed this article in the Recent changes when someone added a lot of subjective prose. I reverted this and added some cleanup templates. But I don't think that this will realistically lead to improvement. How would an experienced editor with an interest in this area work on this article to make it significantly better? twsabin 18:48, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
Well, @ Twsabin: you have done the right thing with adding those templates, but if you want to take it a step further you can do things like replace citation needed templates with reliable sources. Also you can start expanding the article by adding to new sections and maybe even creating a new section. You can also fix any grammar problems you see. ― Kaleeb18 TalkCaleb 18:54, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
I wish to change a number of categories to different names because they were mistranslated. Specifically /info/en/?search=Category:Gion_faith /info/en/?search=Category:Hachiman_faith /info/en/?search=Category:Inari_faith /info/en/?search=Category:Kumano_faith and /info/en/?search=Category:Suwa_faith should all have the word "faith" replaced with cult, because they relate to cults of specific deities. Faith is the suggested term by google translate and deepl but it does not accurately describe them, and other European languages translate these titles as "cult" MaitreyaVaruna ( talk) 19:05, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
I was just looking at recent changes, and noticed something weird going on at Kingdom_of_Bonny. An IP editor has added an enormous amount of information written in a very wordy and unencyclopaedic fashion. It's hugely complicated and probably too much detail, but the unusual feature is that they've actually referenced sources. But the referencing is written long-hand in the text, and they've quoted extensively from it, but not in a way that makes it clear what's a direct quotation and what isn't. I don't quite know whether this sort of edit is normally just reverted - but that seems unfair as they seem to be adding genuine information. But it can't stand as it is, and I can't understand it well enough to rewrite it - nor can I sort out the quotes as the sources are books that I do not have. I think the article could do with attention from someone more experienced than me! Or should it just be reverted?

In an article on a prominent media personality, details about her parentage are included, and referenced by a frivolous reference in a weekend magazine. This reference has been used in more than one location, and has distorted more than one Wikipedia entry. There is no printed reference that I know of that contradicts this weekend magazine reference, but the personalities concerned, three of them, are all alive and well.

Creating a possibly removable article
I was searching through the list of wanted wikipedia articles that have not yet been created, when I discovered one missing on Heinrich II of Reuss-Lobenstein. It is linked as a non-existent article almost 50 times, yet little information exists on him.

So why doesn't Wikipedia put a big header at the top of each Wikipedia article warning readers that they may be reading erroneous information from the sources people are citing, such as modern magazine articles, where the writer made numerous errors even though the magazine itself is considered reliable? I have seem such cases and the editor I questioned robotically replied that we must use the secondary source even if it is incorrect rather than the primary source which is an official document? They say reporting truth even if the secondary source is wrong is the antithesis of Wikipedia since Wikipedia values verifiability over truth. They don't have to use it if it seems to have wrong information but they do anyway, apparently because they want to, which kind of seems like administrator approved trolling.
Wikipedia claims to be an encyclopedia, yet it admits it is not a reliable source: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_a_reliable_source . When people think of normal encyclopedias like Britannica or World Book, they assume it is an authoritative source that has been vetted for errors, not something with an 80/20 or 50/50 chance of being right. I have been in situations where I quoted the Oxford Dictionary of the English Language to someone to support an argument and they quoted Wikipedia having a different answer and thought it was better. Again, why isn't there a big warning on the Wikipedia article pages? I was an editor on Wikipedia for a year and a half before I figure out how much misinformation an article written by experienced editors and vetted by an experienced administrator because someone complained to an administrator and they sent a gang of "experienced editors" over to demonstrate the proper way to present misinformation as an encyclopedia. It seems very intellectually dishonest to keep that page I linked above burrowed away and something of a bait and switch to most people. Daltonsatom ( talk) 03:43, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

I suspect if I was exposed to the behind-the-scenes machinations and argy-bargy of a traditional newsroom or publishing house, then I would be similarly shocked and disillusioned. When I pick up a tabloid newspaper, I don't need a warning banner (the screaming headlines do that well enough): I already know there are going to be some proportion of poor-quality articles in there. Blatantly poor writing and research aren't that hard for a reader to spot, but I suspect the only ways to detect subtle bias is to (a) be a part of the production process, (b) be attuned to the dog whistles, or (c) read a variety of sources and compare coverage. That applies to Wikipedia articles just as much as other media. lectorem cave ⁓

I just created my first original content (other than plot summaries), a new section to Born to Kill (1947 film): "Multifaceted Femme Fatale." I thought I did the reference correctly, but the doi# showed up in the reference (# 15), unlike all the others. I entered the number into the template because it made me.

I'm thinking of moving most of the information in the "Translations and imitations" section of this article to a new article called List of translations and imitations from the Greek Anthology, as the section is becoming unwieldy. I would add a

Regarding these articles about the Bahamas: Progressive Liberal Party /info/en/?search=Progressive_Liberal_Party, Free National Movement /info/en/?search=Free_National_Movement, and Philip Davis (Bahamian politician) /info/en/?search=Philip_Davis_(Bahamian_politician)#Prime_Minister. All three of these have a paragraph that begins, "In September 2021, Progressive Liberal Party won..." or something very similar. In fact, the entire paragraph is almost identical in all three. (There may be more articles with the same paragraph, but those are the ones I've spotted so far.) This feels to me like it's less than best practice, but I can't think of an actual reason for feeling that way. Is there a policy or recommendation about this?

The page: User:Josijojow
I was watching recent changes and saw this page be created. I somehow didn't see that it's a user page, and thought that user Josijojow created an article titled "Josijojow" that is exclusively promotional and I applied the template. After realizing what I did, I reverted myself, but now I am not sure if such a page should actually still be deleted, and if this method of deletion still applies to user pages? Should I not have reverted myself perhaps? It looks like the new user wanted to create a promotional page for themselves, regardless of whether it's an article or a user page. Thanks for advice. twsabin 18:57, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Jéské Couriano 00:08, 27 January 2022 (UTC)I am a new Wikipedia member and my experience trying to make edits on Wikipedia has been very disappointing. My edits are being flagged for frivolous infractions. I have read articles published in America for example, they don't have any references nor do they cite any source yet they are allowed to stay on live space for years despite that. My question is, do they have a lower standard for articles published in the West and high standards for Africa? .Could that be the reason why there are so few Wikipedia editors in Africa? Kiambu1 ( talk) 21:53, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
How do I reply to comments/criticism of previous versions of this article? Here is what I would like to say ... 1.) “Puffery”, in this instance/subject, is a historical fact. Assuming that the observation is not intended to disallow the sources already cited for these opinions, I have tried to bring forward their documentation, perhaps, clarifying its basis without confusing the narrative (?) For example, the comment of the publication’s “perfection” is in fact quoted from the reports of 2 governmental juries (this is now referenced). My use of the term “brilliance” is a conventional characterization of the information conveyed by a traditional successful engraving (etchings, which employ irregular lines, are not usually described this way). The tone of superlative accomplishment is an important feature of this subject – e.g. why else would Napoleon recognize the publication with an act of state (see note 2)? -- this event alone would seem to establish the subject’s historical interest. Btw, I suppose all of my references to journalism of the period can be verified in Retronews. 2.) The comment that the article lacks authoritative references has been addressed by adding references ... I hope, without confusing the reader. Please advise if there need to be further private exchanges on this subject. While there’s obviously not sufficient interest to publish a complete bibliography in Wikipedia, I’ve added a reference to the very thorough one compiled by Peter Fuhring. In any case, the references previously provided carry historical authority. The journal Les Nouvelles de l’estampe (note 2) is an official outlet for scholarship of the National Library of France – and the principal French outlet for scholarship in the field of print history; the cited article deals with the publication and its official reception in detail. The journal Gazette des Beaux-Arts was, in its day, the leading international journal for art historical scholarship of French art. There’s also Weissert’s book, which is quite scholarly, and the extensive discussion of the subject in Sgarbi’s publication. Why have reviewers disregarded the standing of these sources, in their preoccupation with the inclusion of an exceptional masters thesis? 2 of the additional references are in English and subsequent to Fuhring’s bibliography. 3.) And why is McKee's masters thesis so different from others? To begin with, it is the only cited reference for further information in the library cataloguing of the Musée français at the Royal Academy in London, as noted in the article, and also in the catalogue of the National Library of France: < https://catalogue.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb40282999b>; likewise, it is noted at the head of all other references in the art historical resource begun by Fritz Lugt in the 1920’s and continued today by the Fondation Custodia, Les Marques de collections de dessins et d’estampes < http://www.marquesdecollections.fr/detail.cfm/marque/12536>. If good enough for these institutions, why would Wikipedia have problems with it? Evidently, the thesis is regarded as important for understanding and consulting the publication. The thesis’ circulation in recent scholarship is more difficult to trace – two important recent examples in English: Sarah Betzer, “Ingres Shadows,” Art Bulletin, 95 (2013): 78-101 (“instrumental to my discussion”); and Susanne Anderson-Riedel, “A French Raphael ...” Art in print, 6 (May-June 2016), pp. 17-30. Also, it is referenced, of course, in McKee’s additional publications on the subject in the Revue de l’art (no. 98) (the officially sponsored successor to the Gazette de Beaux-Arts for authoritative discussion of French Art History) and the Revue du Louvre (déc. 1995) (the official scholarly outlet of the National Museums of France).

Hi there, Our company would like to create a Wikipedia page about our current CEO who is a reasonably well-known figure in the entertainment industry within South Africa. He is an actor, film and theatre director and producer who has worked on numerous local and international projects over the last 10 years and is also the Founder and CEO of an International Performing Arts Academy in South Africa - which is a top performing arts school within South Africa (one of the 4 best in the country) and he is still very young - regardless of these amazing accomplishments.
We'd like to get him listed on Wikipedia as we feel that he has a great reputation and creditable career to be listed - plus this could benefit him, as well as our company, tremendously if approved and granted.
We don't know how this works, how to create a page, or request for it to be created. Assistance but mostly advice will be highly appreciated.

I am trying to understand how
WP:REDDEAL and
MOS:DABRED interact (and am sufficiently confused that I just spent an hour two? + hours composing the following, on an iPad, in raw wikitext, because I clearly hate sleep 😉).
Background example:
e.g.
“A live broadcast of the Queen’s 75th birthday celebration was available to all citizens to view on their Skylink receivers.”
Possible scenarios:
* Skylink (TV platform), the Czech–Slovak satellite platform
* Skylink (TV platform), the Czech–Slovak satellite platform operated by M7 Group
* Skylink (TV platform), the Czech–Slovak satellite platform

Hello! I have had this question bouncing around my head for a while, troubling me with analysis paralysis. Today a professor pulled me out of it by suggesting I just ask you all.
There is a page for a
Guarani chieftain named Lambaré who, in the 16th century, fought against the Spanish conquest of Paraguay. The page exists only in Guarani. I came upon it because I am from Paraguay, and interested in Native histories. I have many times noted that the language that an article is in determines the information presented therein, and upon realizing that there was a Guarani Wikipedia I wanted to seek articles in that language out—specifically those that would be inaccessible from Spanish/French/English Wikipedias. I found a few, and started a project with someone else to translate them. However, with COVID and Life Circumstances, things fell through. Nonetheless, we did manage to translate one article, which I wanted to put on the English site and make accessible to others.
However, and here comes the problem, the article is not written in a "neutral point of view," as per
this page. The point will be easier to illustrate with an excerpt; these are the first lines:
I think it's pretty clear that this is not neutral, and within Wikipedia's styleguide. However, I must stress that this is unique. This, and probably other articles on Guarani Wikipedia and other lesser-known languages, have such biases. But their value is in the perspective they provide, the autochtonous record of events we usually only have access to from the colonizer's perspective.
I've been hesitant to bring this issue up for so long because my deepest fear is that the Guarani page, which is beautiful and has worth in its own rights, will be taken down—be made inaccessible to the public—and something great will be lost. I was concerned that translating it into English would highlight this deficiency and lead it to the deleted, but that was leading me to not do anything with the translation. Instead of doing that, and not having room to explain anything, I think it is/was best that I post here and lay out my thoughts.
What should I do with my English translation is one question. Another is: what should be done about the Guarani article? I hope that the answer is nothing for the latter... My question really is about whether or not I can post an article from a 1st person singular/2nd person plural perspective on English Wikipedia. However, the underlying question is whether such articles are even allowed on Wikipedia period, regardless of language.
This is my first post here, so my apologies if this is not the proper place to post this or to go about it. Please help me if you can! Is there some authority who can make an ad hoc ruling, or is this adressed in a FAQ, or in a guideline/styleguide?
Thank you

Hi! I was editing the page of a football club. It already has a logo added to its infobox under what I believe is fair use.

Contextual significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding.

I received a message that our submission was not accepted because "they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject."
Adam Epstein is a former Broadway producer who won 12 Tony Awards, including for the original production of the hit musical "Hairspray", and is now the host of the acclaimed podcast, "Dirty Moderate with Adam Epstein". The youngest Tony Winner for Best Musical since 1955 (at the time) and his Broadway credits seem to be both "notable" and "remarkable" as according to the Wikipedia Notability requirements.

after the part of the url that says sandbox (So it would turn out as ...User:Frb12/sandbox&redirect=no
. An easier way would be to go to your sandbox, let it redirect you, and when it takes you to the new page, there'll be a small bit of text that says "(Redirect from User:Frb12/sandbox)". You just click on your link to the sandbox and it'll take you back to the sandbox without redirecting you. Then you can simply just edit source and blank the page. ―

just needed to publish it. So, at first glance, you have at least an WP:APPARENTCOI. FWIW, this doesn't mean that an article cannot be created but it will be easier for others to help you if you're completely transparent about any connection you have with Draft:Queer Screen. Many Wikipedia editors tend to be more willing to help out when they feel the person asking for assistance isn't trying to pull a fast one.Have you read through Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) or Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not here to tell the world about your noble cause. The former explains what generally needs to be established for a company or organization to have an article about it added to Wikipedia; in particular, close attention needs to be paid to this. The latter is what Wikipedia refers to as an WP:ESSAY, but it also contains information that you might find helpful.Finally, you might want to ask the members of Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies for assistance with this draft since they are most likely as familiar as anyone with assessing the subject's Wikipedia:Notability and how to best write such articles. You can also try Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia too. Posting a message on the talk page of either of those two WikiProjects should get a response. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 01:16, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

Good evening, Hosts. I have just published my first Wikipedia article, but prior to doing so I used my Sandbox to draft the article, make edits, and so on. Now that I no longer have use for the draft article, is there a specific process/procedure I should utilize for clearing out my Sandbox?
My first inclination was simply to delete all of the text I had built in the Sandbox and then hit "Publish", but that seemed illogical since I would be telling Wiki's writing application to publish an entirely blank page.
Thank you in advance for your input and guidance.

Hello, my fellow Wikipedians, I am new to Wikipedia but I am here to stay. I have a few quick questions and I want to learn them before editing or publishing pages. I have added the pages I want to edit, translate or create to my user page under the title of PIWC.
1 - ) On my first day, I have created a draft about an e-sports organization and send it for review. Today I realize that can add a few more sources (while the sources I have used are valid). I haven't heard about it yet (it's been 3 days), I wonder if I can make changes and send it for review again if it is not approved.
2 - ) There is a specific plant that grows where I live, however, most of the sources I have found are in another language. Since it's an endemic plant, it is hard to find sources in English, is it okay to use foreign sources?
3 - ) There is a service I actively use and I can find various sources about it but they are mostly blogs ("the bla bla softwares/services you should use in 2022" kind). I also find its description on other sites, and its profile on review platforms like G2 or Capterra. (I am not sure if it is okay to add business profiles on Crunchbase or LinkedIn, so I am not planning to include them). Are these sources enough for notability?
4 - ) I like to translate two articles in my native language (magazines), can I transfer their sources (not English) to the pages I create? In addition, I worked in one of these magazines as an intern before, can I still write an article about it?
5 - ) There is a local plateau where I live, I know almost every inch of it and its conditions, but I can not find sources about it. Would giving map coordinates and official data I have found be enough or should I not create the page at all.
I know I kind of dumped all my questions here, and I appreciate any support I get. Thank you all! TheWirelessMonkey ( talk) 23:18, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

Hey, it is me again. So someone said that http://www.garboforever.com/ is not a reliable source, so please let me know? By the way I am new at editing Wikipedia, which is why I am inexperienced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahyanmovielover ( talk • contribs) 18:58, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
please do not use unreliable sources such as ... publications with a poor reputation for ... expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist. It is a template message that provides examples of some kinds of sources that are not allowed on Wikipedia; it is not insinuating that you have extremist views or that you used sources that do. This message, and the one before it, was simply asking you to make sure that your edits are backed up by reliable sources. Please read the page I just linked for information on what a reliable source is; it should become clear to you why garboforever.com is not a reliable source.

Hello there. I want to add my third book, about the London Musicians Collective, to the references at the bottom of the Wiki Free Improvisation page. How do I do this? Nathan Barre ( talk) 13:53, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
The Professional career section on Paul Dekker's article seems largely copy-pasted. I outlined my reasoning in the article's talk page and added the Copypaste template to the section.
My question is: what else should/can I do about this? I've been fine making smaller edits to pages, but this seems like it requires a more thorough rewrite, which I honestly don't want to commit to doing. As such, is there a group/committee I can bring this up with? I'm new to editing Wikipedia, and thus don't know a lot about protocol.

and the references of the article was completely the website of that particular groupis part of the problem: 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.

) and raise the issue on the article talk page. If you delete it and someone returns it (and it wasn't being used to support some other nearby statement) you can remove it a second time (with a clear edit summary) as to why and a
citation needed in its place, whilst again ensuring you raise your concerns on the article's talk page. Don't remove it a third time or you'll start getting in to an edit war, which just disrupts an article. Often, it's simply best to leave things where they were so people can see the problem links and simply discuss it by raising your concerns on the talk page. Does that make sense?

Thank you, TheTechnician27 - I appreciate your insights a great deal. You are correct in that my question was referring to Ms. Malinowska, but my question also relates to a new article that I am about to craft for the musical artist, Suzanne Santo. I do not have a financial affiliation with Ms. Malinowska or Mr. Hendrie. My only relationship with them (and Ms. Santo) is as being a fan of their work. I have purchased two of Ms. Malinowska's books and then subsequently realized she had not yet had a Wikipedia article. In the case of Mr. Hendrie, I am a subscriber of his website and recognized that his legacy Wikipedia article contained inaccuracies. In addition, his article had a warning at the top indicating "This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Appears written by his PR. Needs links to Wikipedia articles, remove press release tone.", which I directly addressed with each of my edits. You are also correct that I uploaded headshots of both Mr. Hendrie and Ms. Malinowska (and will be doing so for Ms. Santo's page), but to be honest I'm not at all confident that in doing so I followed the correct procedure. If I did not or if I misappropriated the related license for them, please let me know and I'll be happy to make those adjustments. Lastly I have to confess that I don't understand the point that you made about Ms. Malinowska's article lacking "even a single non-primary source". I attempted to cite all of the appropriate references and have added instances of three Wikipedia articles that now point back to Ms. Malinowska's article ( 1) Notable Professors from The University of Silesia, 2) Notable Alumni of the Fulbright Program, and 3) Notable people in Wolin (town)), but if there is something more that you're suggesting, I would love to learn of it. Thank you again, TheTechnician27. Although I have been a fan and supporter of Wikipedia for many years, I only began volunteering as an Editor within the past few weeks and sincerely appreciate your guidance.

Hello, I apologize for asking another question here (as some may have seen my previous question regarding the Wikipedia Library), however I may soon start a draft on the British composer and pianist Oliver King, full name Oliver Arthur King, but there is an article with the same name (and is totally unrelated, and note King Oliver is also a different person), so should I name the article as "Oliver King (composer)" or as Oliver Arthur King, both names seem popular, IMSLP gives his works as Oliver King, but also does mention the "Arthur" middle name, however some biographical dictionaries/books refer him as his complete name Oliver Arthur King or Oliver A. King.
Based on journals by The Musical Times, the name Oliver King might be more popular, but besides common name, what other factors are used to decide the name of Wikipedia articles, and what should the name be for this one?

Can anyone help with this? If examples from wiki pages were included that would be very helpful. Thanks! Trillkat ( talk) 15:35, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
The colored employees of the Hotel Ponce de Leon will play a game today at the fort grounds with a picked nine from the Alcazar. As both teams possess some of the best colored baseball talent in the United States [,] being largely composed of the famous Cuban Giants, the game is likely to be an interesting one. [2]

So if I understand the rule correctly, we're not allowed to summarise a primary source because this is synthesis or original research. But what about for a wiki article on a book? Are we not allowed to summarise the plot if we can't find it summarised in a secondary source? This argument has been made in an AfD discussion (imo mainly because the editors don't like the contents of the book). You'll notice that the entire "plot" section of this (1) page is also unreferenced, but I don't see anyone arguing we should remove the section, because no one has an agenda against the page.

If I’m quoting a police record in which someone curses and it is important enough for me to add. How should I format it? Put in the first letter and than put astrics or hashtags for the rest of the letters (_*** or _###)? Or should I not censor it whatsoever?

Hi! I'd asked this question once before at the help desk, but now I have the information I need to change an article. To recap, I left the project a few years ago as an administrator in good stead. Unfortunately, I was stalked by vandals across multiple sites and finally had to enlist the aid of law enforcement and the Wikimedia Foundation. Here's my present issue. I work for a company which just purchased two local radio stations and while the main article on the flagship station has been updated, the information is incorrect. I've been asked to update the information and I can cite references such as print articles. I'm more than happy to create an account, but I don't wish to be suspected of spamming the site with ads. Believe me, I know the ropes and the last thing I'd want to do is to have any work reverted and/or have a new account blocked. If I were to establish an account, I will gladly link to it here at the Teahouse to prevent any misunderstandings. Thanks and I'm looking forward to contributing once again...but no more vandal hunting! 2603:8000:8501:59B3:7852:6140:57F8:572E ( talk) 02:19, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
Sorry about that! I should have introduced myself. I started as "Lucky 6.9" and eventually started a second and final account as "PMDrive1061." I blocked access to both before I was "de-sysopped" so that I wouldn't be tempted to return. I mentioned to the owner of the station that paid editing is a no-no, that I would make the changes on my own and eventually transition back to regular editing. If, however, you'd be more comfortable if I were to state I were paid, I have no problem with that. I simply didn't want to run afoul of the COI issue and cause any misunderstandings. I'll definitely leave word on the article talk page. The article itself is KWXY. 2603:8000:8501:59B3:7852:6140:57F8:572E ( talk) 03:57, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

The article is Nawab Mir Khudrath Nawaz Jung Bahadur. I noticed this article in the Recent changes when someone added a lot of subjective prose. I reverted this and added some cleanup templates. But I don't think that this will realistically lead to improvement. How would an experienced editor with an interest in this area work on this article to make it significantly better? twsabin 18:48, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
Well, @ Twsabin: you have done the right thing with adding those templates, but if you want to take it a step further you can do things like replace citation needed templates with reliable sources. Also you can start expanding the article by adding to new sections and maybe even creating a new section. You can also fix any grammar problems you see. ― Kaleeb18 TalkCaleb 18:54, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
I wish to change a number of categories to different names because they were mistranslated.

I was just looking at recent changes, and noticed something weird going on at Kingdom_of_Bonny. An IP editor has added an enormous amount of information written in a very wordy and unencyclopaedic fashion. It's hugely complicated and probably too much detail, but the unusual feature is that they've actually referenced sources. But the referencing is written long-hand in the text, and they've quoted extensively from it, but not in a way that makes it clear what's a direct quotation and what isn't. I don't quite know whether this sort of edit is normally just reverted - but that seems unfair as they seem to be adding genuine information. But it can't stand as it is, and I can't understand it well enough to rewrite it - nor can I sort out the quotes as the sources are books that I do not have. I think the article could do with attention from someone more experienced than me! Or should it just be reverted?

In an article on a prominent media personality, details about her parentage are included, and referenced by a frivolous reference in a weekend magazine. This reference has been used in more than one location, and has distorted more than one Wikipedia entry.

So why doesn't Wikipedia put a big header at the top of each Wikipedia article warning readers that they may be reading erroneous information from the sources people are citing, such as modern magazine articles, where the writer made numerous errors even though the magazine itself is considered reliable? I have seem such cases and the editor I questioned robotically replied that we must use the secondary source even if it is incorrect rather than the primary source which is an official document? They say reporting truth even if the secondary source is wrong is the antithesis of Wikipedia since Wikipedia values verifiability over truth. They don't have to use it if it seems to have wrong information but they do anyway, apparently because they want to, which kind of seems like administrator approved trolling.
Wikipedia claims to be an encyclopedia, yet it admits it is not a reliable source: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Wikipedia_is_not_a_reliable_source . When people think of normal encyclopedias like Britannica or World Book, they assume it is an authoritative source that has been vetted for errors, not something with an 80/20 or 50/50 chance of being right. I have been in situations where I quoted the Oxford Dictionary of the English Language to someone to support an argument and they quoted Wikipedia having a different answer and thought it was better. Again, why isn't there a big warning on the Wikipedia article pages? I was an editor on Wikipedia for a year and a half before I figure out how much misinformation an article written by experienced editors and vetted by an experienced administrator because someone complained to an administrator and they sent a gang of "experienced editors" over to demonstrate the proper way to present misinformation as an encyclopedia. It seems very intellectually dishonest to keep that page I linked above burrowed away and something of a bait and switch to most people. Daltonsatom ( talk) 03:43, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

I suspect if I was exposed to the behind-the-scenes machinations and argy-bargy of a traditional newsroom or publishing house, then I would be similarly shocked and disillusioned. When I pick up a tabloid newspaper, I don't need a warning banner (the screaming headlines do that well enough): I already know there are going to be some proportion of poor-quality articles in there. Blatantly poor writing and research aren't that hard for a reader to spot, but I suspect the only ways to detect subtle bias is to (a) be a part of the production process, (b) be attuned to the dog whistles, or (c) read a variety of sources and compare coverage. That applies to Wikipedia articles just as much as other media. lectorem cave ⁓

The page: User:Josijojow
I was watching recent changes and saw this page be created. I somehow didn't see that it's a user page, and thought that user Josijojow created an article titled "Josijojow" that is exclusively promotional and I applied the template. After realizing what I did, I reverted myself, but now I am not sure if such a page should actually still be deleted, and if this method of deletion still applies to user pages? Should I not have reverted myself perhaps? It looks like the new user wanted to create a promotional page for themselves, regardless of whether it's an article or a user page.

Jéské Couriano 00:08, 27 January 2022 (UTC)I am a new Wikipedia member and my experience trying to make edits on Wikipedia has been very disappointing. My edits are being flagged for frivolous infractions. I have read articles published in America for example, they don't have any references nor do they cite any source yet they are allowed to stay on live space for years despite that. My question is, do they have a lower standard for articles published in the West and high standards for Africa? .Could that be the reason why there are so few Wikipedia editors in Africa? Kiambu1 ( talk) 21:53, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
How do I reply to comments/criticism of previous versions of this article? Here is what I would like to say ... 1.) “Puffery”, in this instance/subject, is a historical fact. Assuming that the observation is not intended to disallow the sources already cited for these opinions, I have tried to bring forward their documentation, perhaps, clarifying its basis without confusing the narrative (?) For example, the comment of the publication’s “perfection” is in fact quoted from the reports of 2 governmental juries (this is now referenced). My use of the term “brilliance” is a conventional characterization of the information conveyed by a traditional successful engraving (etchings, which employ irregular lines, are not usually described this way). The tone of superlative accomplishment is an important feature of this subject – e.g. why else would Napoleon recognize the publication with an act of state (see note 2)? -- this event alone would seem to establish the subject’s historical interest. Btw, I suppose all of my references to journalism of the period can be verified in Retronews. 2.) The comment that the article lacks authoritative references has been addressed by adding references ... I hope, without confusing the reader. Please advise if there need to be further private exchanges on this subject. While there’s obviously not sufficient interest to publish a complete bibliography in Wikipedia, I’ve added a reference to the very thorough one compiled by Peter Fuhring. In any case, the references previously provided carry historical authority. The journal Les Nouvelles de l’estampe (note 2) is an official outlet for scholarship of the National Library of France – and the principal French outlet for scholarship in the field of print history; the cited article deals with the publication and its official reception in detail. The journal Gazette des Beaux-Arts was, in its day, the leading international journal for art historical scholarship of French art. There’s also Weissert’s book, which is quite scholarly, and the extensive discussion of the subject in Sgarbi’s publication. Why have reviewers disregarded the standing of these sources, in their preoccupation with the inclusion of an exceptional masters thesis? 2 of the additional references are in English and subsequent to Fuhring’s bibliography. 3.) And why is McKee's masters thesis so different from others? To begin with, it is the only cited reference for further information in the library cataloguing of the Musée français at the Royal Academy in London, as noted in the article, and also in the catalogue of the National Library of France: < https://catalogue.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/cb40282999b>; likewise, it is noted at the head of all other references in the art historical resource begun by Fritz Lugt in the 1920’s and continued today by the Fondation Custodia, Les Marques de collections de dessins et d’estampes < http://www.marquesdecollections.fr/detail.cfm/marque/12536>. If good enough for these institutions, why would Wikipedia have problems with it? Evidently, the thesis is regarded as important for understanding and consulting the publication. The thesis’ circulation in recent scholarship is more difficult to trace – two important recent examples in English: Sarah Betzer, “Ingres Shadows,” Art Bulletin, 95 (2013): 78-101 (“instrumental to my discussion”); and Susanne Anderson-Riedel, “A French Raphael ...” Art in print, 6 (May-June 2016), pp. 17-30. Also, it is referenced, of course, in McKee’s additional publications on the subject in the Revue de l’art (no. 98) (the officially sponsored successor to the Gazette de Beaux-Arts for authoritative discussion of French Art History) and the Revue du Louvre (déc. 1995) (the official scholarly outlet of the National Museums of France).

Hi there, Our company would like to create a Wikipedia page about our current CEO who is a reasonably well-known figure in the entertainment industry within South Africa. He is an actor, film and theatre director and producer who has worked on numerous local and international projects over the last 10 years and is also the Founder and CEO of an International Performing Arts Academy in South Africa - which is a top performing arts school within South Africa (one of the 4 best in the country) and he is still very young - regardless of these amazing accomplishments.
We'd like to get him listed on Wikipedia as we feel that he has a great reputation and creditable career to be listed - plus this could benefit him, as well as our company, tremendously if approved and granted.
We don't know how this works, how to create a page, or request for it to be created. Assistance but mostly advice will be highly appreciated.

Hello! I have had this question bouncing around my head for a while, troubling me with analysis paralysis. Today a professor pulled me out of it by suggesting I just ask you all.
There is a page for a
Guarani chieftain named Lambaré who, in the 16th century, fought against the Spanish conquest of Paraguay. The page exists only in Guarani. I came upon it because I am from Paraguay, and interested in Native histories. I have many times noted that the language that an article is in determines the information presented therein, and upon realizing that there was a Guarani Wikipedia I wanted to seek articles in that language out—specifically those that would be inaccessible from Spanish/French/English Wikipedias. I found a few, and started a project with someone else to translate them. However, with COVID and Life Circumstances, things fell through. Nonetheless, we did manage to translate one article, which I wanted to put on the English site and make accessible to others.
However, and here comes the problem, the article is not written in a "neutral point of view," as per
this page. The point will be easier to illustrate with an excerpt; these are the first lines:
I think it's pretty clear that this is not neutral, and within Wikipedia's styleguide. However, I must stress that this is unique. This, and probably other articles on Guarani Wikipedia and other lesser-known languages, have such biases. But their value is in the perspective they provide, the autochtonous record of events we usually only have access to from the colonizer's perspective.
I've been hesitant to bring this issue up for so long because my deepest fear is that the Guarani page, which is beautiful and has worth in its own rights, will be taken down—be made inaccessible to the public—and something great will be lost. I was concerned that translating it into English would highlight this deficiency and lead it to the deleted, but that was leading me to not do anything with the translation. Instead of doing that, and not having room to explain anything, I think it is/was best that I post here and lay out my thoughts.
What should I do with my English translation is one question. Another is: what should be done about the Guarani article? I hope that the answer is nothing for the latter... My question really is about whether or not I can post an article from a 1st person singular/2nd person plural perspective on English Wikipedia. However, the underlying question is whether such articles are even allowed on Wikipedia period, regardless of language.
This is my first post here, so my apologies if this is not the proper place to post this or to go about it. Please help me if you can! Is there some authority who can make an ad hoc ruling, or is this adressed in a FAQ, or in a guideline/styleguide?
Thank you

Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding.

Adam Epstein is a former Broadway producer who won 12 Tony Awards, including for the original production of the hit musical "Hairspray", and is now the host of the acclaimed podcast, "Dirty Moderate with Adam Epstein". The youngest Tony Winner for Best Musical since 1955 (at the time) and his Broadway credits seem to be both "notable" and "remarkable" as according to the Wikipedia Notability requirements.

You just click on your link to the sandbox and it'll take you back to the sandbox without redirecting you. Then you can simply just edit source and blank the page. ―

just needed to publish it. So, at first glance, you have at least an WP:APPARENTCOI. FWIW, this doesn't mean that an article cannot be created but it will be easier for others to help you if you're completely transparent about any connection you have with Draft:Queer Screen. Many Wikipedia editors tend to be more willing to help out when they feel the person asking for assistance isn't trying to pull a fast one.Have you read through Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) or Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not here to tell the world about your noble cause. The former explains what generally needs to be established for a company or organization to have an article about it added to Wikipedia; in particular, close attention needs to be paid to this. The latter is what Wikipedia refers to as an WP:ESSAY, but it also contains information that you might find helpful.Finally, you might want to ask the members of Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBT studies for assistance with this draft since they are most likely as familiar as anyone with assessing the subject's Wikipedia:Notability and how to best write such articles. You can also try Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia too. Posting a message on the talk page of either of those two WikiProjects should get a response. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 01:16, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello, my fellow Wikipedians, I am new to Wikipedia but I am here to stay. I have a few quick questions and I want to learn them before editing or publishing pages. I have added the pages I want to edit, translate or create to my user page under the title of PIWC.
1 - ) On my first day, I have created a draft about an e-sports organization and send it for review. Today I realize that can add a few more sources (while the sources I have used are valid). I haven't heard about it yet (it's been 3 days), I wonder if I can make changes and send it for review again if it is not approved.
2 - ) There is a specific plant that grows where I live, however, most of the sources I have found are in another language. Since it's an endemic plant, it is hard to find sources in English, is it okay to use foreign sources?
3 - ) There is a service I actively use and I can find various sources about it but they are mostly blogs ("the bla bla softwares/services you should use in 2022" kind). I also find its description on other sites, and its profile on review platforms like G2 or Capterra. (I am not sure if it is okay to add business profiles on Crunchbase or LinkedIn, so I am not planning to include them). Are these sources enough for notability?
4 - ) I like to translate two articles in my native language (magazines), can I transfer their sources (not English) to the pages I create? In addition, I worked in one of these magazines as an intern before, can I still write an article about it?
5 - ) There is a local plateau where I live, I know almost every inch of it and its conditions, but I can not find sources about it. Would giving map coordinates and official data I have found be enough or should I not create the page at all.
I know I kind of dumped all my questions here, and I appreciate any support I get. Thank you all! TheWirelessMonkey ( talk) 23:18, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

please do not use unreliable sources such as ... publications with a poor reputation for ... expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist. It is a template message that provides examples of some kinds of sources that are not allowed on Wikipedia; it is not insinuating that you have extremist views or that you used sources that do. This message, and the one before it, was simply asking you to make sure that your edits are backed up by reliable sources.

and the references of the article was completely the website of that particular groupis part of the problem: 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.

) and raise the issue on the article talk page. If you delete it and someone returns it (and it wasn't being used to support some other nearby statement) you can remove it a second time (with a clear edit summary) as to why and a
citation needed in its place, whilst again ensuring you raise your concerns on the article's talk page. Don't remove it a third time or you'll start getting in to an edit war, which just disrupts an article. Often, it's simply best to leave things where they were so people can see the problem links and simply discuss it by raising your concerns on the talk page. Does that make sense?

Thank you, TheTechnician27 - I appreciate your insights a great deal. You are correct in that my question was referring to Ms. Malinowska, but my question also relates to a new article that I am about to craft for the musical artist, Suzanne Santo. I do not have a financial affiliation with Ms. Malinowska or Mr. Hendrie. My only relationship with them (and Ms. Santo) is as being a fan of their work. I have purchased two of Ms. Malinowska's books and then subsequently realized she had not yet had a Wikipedia article. In the case of Mr. Hendrie, I am a subscriber of his website and recognized that his legacy Wikipedia article contained inaccuracies. In addition, his article had a warning at the top indicating "This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Appears written by his PR. Needs links to Wikipedia articles, remove press release tone.", which I directly addressed with each of my edits. You are also correct that I uploaded headshots of both Mr. Hendrie and Ms. Malinowska (and will be doing so for Ms. Santo's page), but to be honest I'm not at all confident that in doing so I followed the correct procedure. If I did not or if I misappropriated the related license for them, please let me know and I'll be happy to make those adjustments. Lastly I have to confess that I don't understand the point that you made about Ms. Malinowska's article lacking "even a single non-primary source". I attempted to cite all of the appropriate references and have added instances of three Wikipedia articles that now point back to Ms. Malinowska's article ( 1) Notable Professors from The University of Silesia, 2) Notable Alumni of the Fulbright Program, and 3) Notable people in Wolin (town)), but if there is something more that you're suggesting, I would love to learn of it. Thank you again, TheTechnician27.

obstructed your access to ordinary text that lay below it, and which you wanted to edit. That template works as a pair - one to turn the family tree on, and another at the end to turn the family tree off. I have moved the opening template to the right place in
'Family' section. That problem wouldn't have been noticeable to many users like myself who much prefer to use
WP:Source editor for the majority of tasks here. It's a tool that uses really simple 'markup' for things like links, bold, italic, headers and so forth. It's a much more powerful editor than VE, but is not WISYWYG. Should you ever encounter a similar issue again (which is extremely rare in my experience) simply switch to Source Editor to trace the problem. In desktop view, just click the dark slanting pencil icon on the right side of the editing toolbar to switch between editing modes.

Hello, I apologize for asking another question here (as some may have seen my previous question regarding the Wikipedia Library), however I may soon start a draft on the British composer and pianist Oliver King, full name Oliver Arthur King, but there is an article with the same name (and is totally unrelated, and note King Oliver is also a different person), so should I name the article as "Oliver King (composer)" or as Oliver Arthur King, both names seem popular, IMSLP gives his works as Oliver King, but also does mention the "Arthur" middle name, however some biographical dictionaries/books refer him as his complete name Oliver Arthur King or Oliver A. King.
Based on journals by The Musical Times, the name Oliver King might be more popular, but besides common name, what other factors are used to decide the name of Wikipedia articles, and what should the name be for this one?

Is there a way to add a link sending to the relevant talk page topic on a dead link tag? Shine Couture ( talk) 17:31, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
I'm reasking this question because I'm now logged in to my page and can keep trace of the answer. Can you help me figure out what exactly must be removed on a page I'm trying to edit so that the neutrality notice can be removed? I'm editing the page for Hollywood producer "Michael Rotenberg", so I'm not sure what information on the page is in question because everything seems to be fact. The URL for the page is below:
/info/en/?search=Michael_Rotenberg

Hey Guys,
My one article, BerriBlue, is up for deletion and I'm not sure whether I'm going about it in the right way. I added some comments to the deletion page. I'd prefer to know what changes need to be made so I can keep this one.
They also mention that I only created that one article so they thought it was suspicious. Fair enough! I made it ages ago, intending to do some more, but never got around to it. It's a good reminder and a kick to do the other ones I had drafts of, but I'm worried whether that will help or not, or will they all just get deleted?
Any advice is really appreciated. Wil57 ( talk) 11:16, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
I asked a question here in the teahouse earlier, and I linked to an article in Hebrew. It didn't show up.
I typed [[he:מיקמק|Mikmak]], and it shows up as "" Quick Quokka [talk] 22:18, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
Sorry for posting this again, again. Last time I forgot to put in the content of the question, and the time before that I forgot to add the subject of the question.
For some reason Mikmak is linked in the "Languages" section of the sidebar for the Teahouse.
On Wikidata, it doesn't show Mikmak linked here.
On the Mikmak page in Hebrew, it doesn't show the Teahouse linked there. Quick Quokka [talk] 12:24, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
I have multiple reliable secondary sources for the notability of the article I submitted. Some of them were published profiles (in newspapers and a mainstream magazine) of the subject in question. I don't think the reviewer understood the sources. I don't see a way to contest the decline and I wonder if I can get a second opinion or message the reviewer to retract the decline.

The colored employees of the Hotel Ponce de Leon will play a game today at the fort grounds with a picked nine from the Alcazar. As both teams possess some of the best colored baseball talent in the United States [,] being largely composed of the famous Cuban Giants, the game is likely to be an interesting one. [2]

So if I understand the rule correctly, we're not allowed to summarise a primary source because this is synthesis or original research. But what about for a wiki article on a book? Are we not allowed to summarise the plot if we can't find it summarised in a secondary source? This argument has been made in an AfD discussion (imo mainly because the editors don't like the contents of the book). You'll notice that the entire "plot" section of this (1) page is also unreferenced, but I don't see anyone arguing we should remove the section, because no one has an agenda against the page. Can anyone clarify? Ficaia ( talk) 19:04, 30 January 2022 (UTC) Ficaia ( talk) 19:04, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

If I’m quoting a police record in which someone curses and it is important enough for me to add. How should I format it? Put in the first letter and than put astrics or hashtags for the rest of the letters (_*** or _###)? Or should I not censor it whatsoever? Just to make it clear, it is the quote from the man is alleged albeit taken from a “police source”.

Russ Whitney Hello, I was trying to find a webpage about Russ Whitney but nothing has come up. I've heard controversial statements about him, apparently a successful entrepreneur who used a lot of get rich quick schemes. Is there any reason that no wiki page or almost any page can be found about him other than a NY Time article?

Hi! I'd asked this question once before at the help desk, but now I have the information I need to change an article. To recap, I left the project a few years ago as an administrator in good stead. Unfortunately, I was stalked by vandals across multiple sites and finally had to enlist the aid of law enforcement and the Wikimedia Foundation. Here's my present issue. I work for a company which just purchased two local radio stations and while the main article on the flagship station has been updated, the information is incorrect. I've been asked to update the information and I can cite references such as print articles. I'm more than happy to create an account, but I don't wish to be suspected of spamming the site with ads. Believe me, I know the ropes and the last thing I'd want to do is to have any work reverted and/or have a new account blocked. If I were to establish an account, I will gladly link to it here at the Teahouse to prevent any misunderstandings. Thanks and I'm looking forward to contributing once again...but no more vandal hunting! 2603:8000:8501:59B3:7852:6140:57F8:572E ( talk) 02:19, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
Sorry about that! I should have introduced myself. I started as "Lucky 6.9" and eventually started a second and final account as "PMDrive1061." I blocked access to both before I was "de-sysopped" so that I wouldn't be tempted to return. I mentioned to the owner of the station that paid editing is a no-no, that I would make the changes on my own and eventually transition back to regular editing. If, however, you'd be more comfortable if I were to state I were paid, I have no problem with that. I simply didn't want to run afoul of the COI issue and cause any misunderstandings. I'll definitely leave word on the article talk page. The article itself is KWXY. 2603:8000:8501:59B3:7852:6140:57F8:572E ( talk) 03:57, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
