We would like to create an article with correct text about our company and our product - Vostok Europe watches. Where and how we could do it here? Igorzubovskij ( talk) 10:38, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
ourhere, you have a big conflict of interest and would almost certainly not be able to write neutrally about the subject. Secondly, Wikipedia is generally uninterested in what article subjects have to say about themselves; we care about what reliable sources say and put that in a neutral tone — nothing else. If your company is truly notable enough for inclusion in the encyclopedia, someone uninvolved will likely start an article about it. However, if you still decide to create this article, you should do it as a draft at Articles for Creation, and you absolutely must follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Hello,
I just made some additions and corrections to an article which are verifiable in the sense that it has been in print and also confirmed by someone who was part of the subject (Sparks). Someone removed my additions claiming it's not verifiable but I would like to get in touch with this person since his information is incorrect. How do I do that? The article concerned is about the band Sparks and the person who removed my corrections is Binksternet.

Hello I was wondering if you guys could assist me recently I have trying to upload certain logos I know that these items are trademarked or copyrighted(for example: UFC or Rizin) but other articles that are equivalent companies or groups are allowed to have their logo displayed regardless of copyright or trademark but whenever I try to do it it never comes out the proper way and ends up getting deleted. Now I have uploaded some most of which have now been deleted and there are new ones that I would like to add the most important is the PFC Logo(MMA promotion), UFC refers to the Ultimate Fighting Championship, LFA is also a promotion.(what I'm trying to say is the logos for these are displayed on the site even though the images are copyrighted/trademarked, if I can figure out how to upload these images with the proper format then I should be able to upload this PFC image just like the LFA or another MMA promotion: https://www.google.com/search?q=Prospect+fighting+Championships+logo&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwj9h4vh6KP2AhXqqXIEHTN2BZ4Q2-cCegQIABAC&oq=Prospect+fighting+Championships+logo&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQAzoECAAQAzoHCAAQsQMQQzoFCAAQgAQ6BAgAEEM6BggAEAcQHjoECAAQDToECB4QClCyClj_jQFgnpoBaAZwAHgAgAGFAogB4SqSAQYzLjMwLjOYAQCgAQHAAQE&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img&ei=in4dYv2aNurTytMPs-yV8Ak&bih=747&biw=412&client=ms-android-rogers-ca-revc&prmd=insv#imgrc=flfeYYupLn0E4M ) for instance the PFC emblem fits the exact same criteria as this promotions logo so I should be able to add it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:RizinFF_logo.png#mw-jump-to-license , I also added photos for the Motorcycle Clubs Original Red Devils Motorcycle Club, Kings Crew Motorcycle Club, Iron Order Motorcycle Club and Gate Keepers Motorcycle Club(personal picture but was deleted anyway). Theses are all emblems of influential Motorcycle Clubs, other large clubs like the Hells Angels, Outlaws Motorcycle Club and Bandidos Motorcycle Club, Loners Motorcycle Club. Several of the club's photos I posted are now defunct but examples identical to mine can be found on other articles for other defunct Canadian Motorcycle Clubs like the Rebels Motorcycle Club (Canada) and Grim Reapers Motorcycle Club (Canada). I could post links to photos of these emblems but they are all exactly similar to the examples on the pages(hells angels, Outlaws est.) that I linked above just slightly different in design and letters. W Either way I was hoping to figure out so I can upload the photos for the club's that were removed and add new ones for Bacchus Motorcycle Club(recently tried to upload using all the information that I had to the best of my abilities but was deleted because it was not properly formatted apparently) and the Vendettas Motorcycle Club. For instance all of the photos I have adhere to these rule sets I should be able to add the photos I have listed if this one is on the site for these reasons https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Loners_MC_logo.png#mw-jump-to-license these exact rules apply to the items that I am trying to upload but for some reason I cannot get the pictures to State the same information in the same format, sorry for the paragraph there is no rush also sorry if this all seems a bit congumbled I had to take the information from previous discussions I was having a guy was helping me but he became busy with stuff outside of Wikipedia and could not help so recommended I asked the tea House , I really appreciate it CanadianHistorian(MMA & History) ( talk) 07:37, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
I appreciate your reply but the photos that I have listed are valid and once I find someone who is actually willing to help me, you will see as they will be uploaded. And if they cannot be uploaded then I will make sure that other emblems like that of the Hell's Angels and the UFC are removed from the site as they also violate copyright just as these do. I have no problem cracking down in areas once I figure out what's legitimate and what's not. These images are the exact same as the ones allowed on the site and also have similar copyright clauses. If the ones that I have tried to upload are not allowed then neither are the ones that are already on Wikipedia CanadianHistorian(MMA & History) ( talk) 22:52, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
Thank you GoingBatty I have been looking for that answer for quite a while now and I appreciate you taking the time to give that information to me.

I created an article last night for the Ronnie McNutt death video case, but on reflection, that title doesn't seem right or precise enough for the subject matter. The case was very similar to the Nikki Catsouras photographs controversy. In cases like these where the incident is not necessarily criminal or legal in nature, what is the most appropriate article title form? The Ronnie McNutt suicide is a highly contentious case and I also don't want to draw any further mockery towards this case than has already occurred in the past, so I'd like to be as respectful as possible with this article.

Hi, I want to confirm that the 'reliable souces' issue in my article means that I have too many references to the IT Guild news web pages and their Social-channels news references as a confirmation of my statements? if yes, can I use them in cases when I want to describe a point of view of IT-Guild or its official reaction to some events in the past?

I could've sworn there was a guideline or policy allowing the use of an external link in both the infobox and the external links section.

Semi-protected pages cannot be edited by unregistered users ( IP addresses), as well as accounts that are not autoconfirmed (accounts that are at least four days old and have made at least ten edits to Wikipedia) or confirmed.There are pages where only admins and WMF staff/employees can edit them, they are called "fully protected" pages. The main page is one example.

I spend a lot of time hunting down little things and fixing them, I suppose that is what makes me a "gnome." However, I am sure there MUST be a better way that how I do it manually and laboriously. In particular right now, I am searching for any time that there is a hyphen between a range of dates, and there SHOULD be an en dash (–) vs (-). This is a tiny little fix, and I have corrected for it thousands of times, but I was curious if there was a way that I could SEARCH for ALL instances of a format like the following, YYYY (4 digit year) with a hyphen in between (-) followed by another YYYY (4 digit year).
Another thing I regularly fix is when "circa" is spelled out, I change it to "c." which is the approved/preferred way to say "circa" on the encyclopedia per the MOS. If I could search out all instances of the word "circa", then I could parse through them and correct all where appropriate. That might be easier? ♥ Th78blue ( talk)♥ 18:39, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

I am an administrator and could therefore read the deleted article. It contained unacceptable non-neutral language like a taste of his first success
and received a flurry of attention from DJs and radio stations across Canada and was on heavy rotation
and yielding the immediate attention of several record companies
and also garnered national acclaim in Poland
and was released internationally across several territories worldwide and aired heavily on Armenian national radio
. None of those assertions were referenced to coverage in independent, reliable sources and none of them were neutral in any way. None of this garbage belongs in a neutral, well referenced encyclopedia.

I notice that Wikipedia uses both American and British spellings, depending, no doubt, on who is editing it. That's fine with me, but it seems a bit extreme for an editor to change another editor's work from one to the other. The most recent edit of Titian changed "favoring" to "favouring" and "center" to "centre." Does Wikipedia have a policy about this? Maurice Magnus ( talk) 08:39, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
I see a difficulty with the policy that "an article should be written in the local flavour of English based on where its subject originates." I am an American with an interest in British history. I know some of the spelling differences, such as "flavour" for "flavor" in the phrase I just quoted. But I am likely to be unaware of others, and, in any case, I'm likely to type in the language I know. To adhere to the policy, therefore, after I post my edit, a person from England would have to change my spelling. As a practical matter, I think that we'll have to live with inconsistencies.

Whomever wrote the David Duke page seriously had some glaring errors in the elections. There's also a subtle bias there painting Duke as more flattering but wrong. For instance, the U.S. Senate (1990) states he's the only Republican and three Democrats. Then it contradicts and says Ben Bagert was nominated. Then it tries to infer Bagert was pushed out by the party. In the Governor 1991, it implies Roemer was squeezed only by Duke and ignores the effect of Clyde Holloway, who was the official endorsed GOP candidate. I think the whole page deserves and auditing and realism given to it. Acpritt ( talk) 14:43, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Dear all, I am an editor at the Catalan Wikipedia. We have been talking about a problem in the visual editor, but we haven't found any solution for the moment. The case is that when I press the grave accent key ( ` ) in a Spanish keyboard, a <code> is generated, which implies that the text I write next happens to be a line of code. This usually happens when the key is pressed twice, but a few users have it when they press only once, which becomes a problem while writing since Catalan has many words with a grave accent. This is how it looks like:

I must be doing something wrong! I want to look for second-person POV in articles so I can edit them to third-person neutral. I ran across one article about BMX racing that had several sections written this way and I really enjoyed fixing them. This was the section: /info/en/?search=BMX_racing#International_sanctioning_bodies
I created a special search for you/your/yourself, but all that gave me are TONS of pages about TV shows, plays, games, and song titles with you/your/yourself in them. I changed that to you have/you had/you must/you can, and that's still not right.
1. The phrase "you have" is split in many of the search results. Can I put quotes around it so it won't break? 2. Is there any way to focus the search on the article text, not the title? (I still get TV/plays/game/song titles in the first 500 entries.) 3. Does anybody have a better way of doing this? Or can't it be done?

Hi there, I have been reading up on policies such as WP:VANDAL and WP:RS. However, I am wondering the best way to handle when someone changes a significant fact on an article without sourcing it. For example, someone changes the spouse or birthdate on a biography. In these cases, is it appropriate to undo the edit and ask for a citation, or is there a better way to handle it? dizzyflamingo ( talk) 17:43, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

I have a question. I don't know if this is a new thing or not.
So, I wrote a Wikipedia article. I did my research, I gathered my references, and I wrote the article. Now I want to submit the article. The editing tools on Wikipedia are, to put it mildly, primitive. They are one step above editing HTML source. So, I want to contract someone to submit the article for me. I don't want to spend more than a couple hundred bucks. As soon as I posted my article, which was rejected (which is OK), I was solicited by a company called "Wikipedia Submissions". How these guys are affiliated with Wikipedia is not known. I assume they are not, so their name is misleading. It turns out there are dozens of "Wikipedia Submissions" companies out there, all trolling Wikipedia looking for rookie submissions like mine.
Can anyone refer a trusted Wikipedia freelancer who will submit my article for a reasonable price? Arthur6Morgan ( talk) 17:47, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

Adequate and nuanced overview for even non– Muslim audience is expected out of the articles Muslims and Muslim world. Whether the articles are achieving that purpose adequately? Requesting and expecting proactive participation in providing inputs from non–Muslim audience too along with Muslim users.
Since the article Muslim world is tagged various improvements it can not be submitted to formal review process still I feel the article deserves more inputs for content improvement.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
I have recently noticed one thing, this reviewer Robert McClenon seems to be way too interested in "me" and stalking me and my works. He/She is literally "stalking" me around. I kindly request him/her to do "their" business in a proper way as this is Wikipedia not their private house or street. I am not the only editor whom they have to bother about, there are several editors who are working here. He/She is always behind me wherever I place my views or requests. Honestly, it is stalking and very annoying!!! Aren't the experienced editors supposed to help the new ones? But here he/she is just constantly trying to put some "allegation" by constantly bothering me with their comments. I'm trying my max to give "cold shoulder" but he/she doesn't seem to stop!!! Are they the only "responsible" editor/reviewer in Wikipedia or what? Please someone ask them to stop unnecessarily irritate!!! Commonedits ( talk) 05:59, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
It's you. When several highly experienced editors, reviewers and administrators try to advise you, and you get combative, it's you. And there are several contradictory facts about your comments. At one place "I'm sorry but Wikipedia seems to be a very strange platform with very stupid rules and very weirdest administration!!" whereas at another "I'm editing in Wikipedia since the past 5 years..." On a separate note, you posted on an editor's talk page "My friend asked me to approach you for reviewing my drafts Draft:Chahat Pandey, Draft:Zaan Khan and Draft:Bhavika Sharma." The Khan draft was created in February by User:Jha09. Is that also you? I added a comment to your AfC for Bhavika Sharma because there is long history of attempts to create an article about her, the most recent deleted and salted in January 2022. David notMD ( talk) 11:38, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
. That appears to be partly about Bhavika Sharma and partly about Chahat Pandey, so that it appears that Commonedits jumbled the information about the two actresses in writing the drafts. I see very little reason for reviewers to try to verify information in drafts that have been sloppily composed. (The Sharma draft has now been tagged for G7, user-requested deletion.)

Recently on the page White-blue-white flag there has been a removal/reversion/removal sequence involving a section illustrating 'similar' flags. A claim is made that 'similar' flags are never illustrated on flag pages; this however is contradicted in, for example, the Rainbow flag where there is a section 'Other rainbow flags'. The Free Speech Flag carries a picture of an example embodiment of the FSF. So that's about a 50:50 split between examples for and against within the few cases I have checked in the Category:Activism flags; is there a description of accepted custom and practice in this matter, ideally a MOS for Flag pages?

I brought concerns of WP:STONEWALLING and WP:BADFAITHNEG to the WP:ANI and some editors suggested I write an WP:RFC instead to get more input. However, there has been extensive criticism of the rfc and requests to close it without discussion. I am not trying to make a biased or leading rfc so I am asking for help in tweaking the rfc. I have tried asking users to elaborate with little success.
The topic of debate is Confederate symbolism in the state flag and whether or not that information should be included in the MOS:LEAD.
I attempted to make an unbiased rfc with multiple options. This is what I came up with:
"Should we include information that the flag of Alabama is based on the Confederate battle flag in the MOS:LEAD?
A: Yes, there is sufficient evidence that the state flag of Alabama is based on the Confederate battle flag and should be included in the lead.
B: No, there is disagreement over the origins of the state flag among reliable sources and no mention of confederate symbolism should be included in the lead.
C: No, the state flag is based on the Spanish colonial flag and that should be included in the lead instead.
D: No, there is disagreement over the origins of the state flag among reliable sources and that should be mentioned in the lead.
What sources are considered reliable for this issue?"
How do I fix this so that discussion can continue? I also had an editor accuse me of WP:CANVASSING because I made an rfc. I don't think rfcs are canvassing, if they are please let me know. Desertambition ( talk) 23:05, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Basically reading psychopathology articles I've noticed that lots of them have huge amounts of information that comes from the DSM-IV. It would be a great source, if it hadn't been superseded...in 2012. While the DSM-5 is not without controversy, every new edition of the DSM will necessarily have some controversy around it, and given that the DSM is extensively peer-reviewed and prepared over a long period of time, as well as it being the closest thing there is to an official source of information in all of psychiatry (well, jointly with the mental disorders section of the ICD-11 - speaking of which, the same problem applies where I'm seeing lots of references to the ICD-10) it seems sensible to me to have a certain level of deference to the experts and trust that the most up-to-date information is the most accurate in absence of a specific reason to the contrary. My opinion is that in the vast majority of cases updating to the DSM-5 would be best, but I'm relatively new to editing Wikipedia so I thought I'd ask about it here first.

Hi all. I've been on Wikipedia for some time now, but I hope I can still ask questions here as I am still fairly new to editing in Wikipedia. I'm wondering if, to edit an article, you need to possess a specific level of literacy in English, or be in a specific age range? I suppose the only requirement is to speak English well, as I've seen many articles with broken English be refined over time. So, out of sheer curiosity, do I need to have a minimum level of knowledge in the English language or are edits still acceptable regardless, as long as I do my research properly?

Hi! I'm new on Wikipedia, (about a week old?) I made an account because artists I am interested in often do not have wikipedia articles. I have submitted four drafts – some of which I will return to and without being accepted or denied, there will be edits added and suggestions made, but with no username attached or any way to follow up. Is this something these editors will see if I follow up on their comments? Are there some (social?) implications I am missing when someone edits and comments in the code of an Article without approving or denying it?
(example above – I said that Tsujimura worked at "the Ningyōza puppet theatre" I came back to the draft and saw a footnote that said "vague," when I went to edit the page it said "vague | which Ningyōza?" I edited the sentence to be more general, but I don't know who left this comment, and made some more helpful/general edits on my draft)

Hello!

I think this is inaccurate. There was an earlier ship named Minnesota during the US Civil War that fought at the Battle of Hampton Roads in 1862. More information here: USS Minnesota (1855).

Is Fandom.com basically "encyclopedias within an encyclopedia" in which, as I've noticed, even TV shows have their own separate "wikis" on the website and heavily detailed articles that would otherwise not be considered notable enough to have their own articles on Wikipedia?

Hi everyone!
I recently picked up the article Möbius strip for a GA review. As soon as I looked at the article, I felt pretty confident that it did not meet the GA criteria, but I thought that I would try to work through the issues with the nominator ( David Eppstein) to see if it could be sufficiently improved. From the beginning, however, David Eppstein responded badly to my suggestions and refused to make many proposed edits. Eventually, I was frustrated and decided that I couldn't do the serious overhaul that the article needed if Eppstein wasn't going to cooperate, so I decided to just fail the article instead. This triggered a string of angry messages, which I responded to as best as I could, but culminated in David Eppstein threatening to report me to an admin.
At the moment, David Eppstein has immediately renominated his article - which is frustrating for me, because I feel like it invalidates my perspective as a reviewer and I truly believe that the article does not meet the GA criteria at the moment. He also posted a notice spreading the news of my "bad behavior" to other editors. Although I have been editing Wikipedia for several years, I have never been involved in such a serious conflict, and I'm not quite sure how to respond and defend myself. Does anyone know where I should go from here?

At the moment, David Eppstein has immediately renominated his article - which is frustrating for me, because I feel like it invalidates my perspective as a reviewer and I truly believe that the article does not meet the GA criteria at the moment.I can understand how this could be frustrating, but it's basically how the process works. See the second-last question at Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations/FAQ. In my experience, there's a lot of variance in how different reviewers (and nominators) interpret the GA criteria. I think the "understandable to an appropriately broad audience" part of WP:GACR's 1a is very important, and you provided some good feedback in that area, but I do think you're interpreting the criterion more strictly than an average reviewer would. My overall suggestion would be to put this review behind you and move on. Colin M ( talk) 18:13, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
Hi there! I submitted a biography about a notable person for review and it was rejected due to the content feeling like it was "written by a fan".
I understand completely where the feedback is coming from and why it was rejected. The wording used in the draft came from a government written biography (as a part of the award the notable person received) and thus I am assuming they did their research, my questions is... how can I use the government bio as a source? or do I need to reference the sources that they used in their biography?

Okay, okay, this is going to be incredibly pedantic. I was just looking at
University of Bristol and noticed in the alumni section that the picture of
Paul Dirac is a mirror image of that used on the article about Dirac. The two are exactly identical, the picture having been mirror-imaged, which is acknowledged in the picture's name at Commons, but not in Bristol University where it's used. The Dirac article is the correct way round.
Should we be using mirror images like this? It is, ultimately, a manipulation with no justification. The risks are small but real: some people do not have perfect facial symmetry; many people part their hair asymmetrically. Musicians adopt asymmetric postures to play their instruments, and the question of whether someone was using their right hand or left to sign a historic treaty might matter. I feel we should not be reversing the photo because it is no longer an unbiased view of Paul Dirac. In the case of Dirac, he's a fairly symmetrical bloke, neither hand is visible and he's not doing anything except smiling at something to the right (or left!) of the photographer. But if we do it with him, at what point do we declare that Enid Smith's left ear is bigger than her right ear, so we can't flip her picture? Better to avoid the whole flipping problem by not doing it.
I'm raising it here rather than Commons because it's the usage that is the problem. If someone wants to write about the relationship between theoretical physicists and their mirror images, they're most welcome to put the illustrations in Commons. But I don't think we should be showing people the wrong way round unless it's required by the context, and made clear.

Elmisnter!, I wonder if a history merge is something that you'd really want. Only administrators can merge histories, and this explanation of the process is intended for administrators. However, if you read it, you may change your mind. Since it was you who asked for the history merge, I think you're free to remove the request for this. (Just be sure to give your reason for doing so.) Now, should the one title be merely a link to the other, or should the former be reverted to an article? One thing is clear: Wikipedia doesn't permit "content forks", so a moderately detailed account of one event, or one series of events, shouldn't appear in more than one article. If the one article again became two, the person who'd proposed this should be willing to do a lot of the deletion of duplicate material very soon after the separation. If you think that there should again be two articles, I think it would be best to propose this on Talk:No-confidence motion against Imran Khan, and to advertise this on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Pakistan, inviting readers to go to the talk page article and discuss the matter there. (You could also put individual invitations on the talk pages of all users who've been major contributors to either article; however, if you do this, be very careful to avoid any selection that could possibly be interpreted as "canvassing" those users who are likely to agree with you. All in all I'd suggest that you do not inform any individual users.) -- Hoary ( talk) 05:31, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi there, my name is Robert and I am a medical doctor, but almost more importantly ;) I am working with an ontologist to define a medical domain specific ontology and this is forcing me to nitpick and spend a lot of time in getting down in the gory details of concepts and related terminology that are used in current life in often confusing ways.
Avid passive user I think I might help a little bit more actively but am completely new to this so please forgive my naivety.
Just as an example today I stumbled on a (medical) Signs and Symptoms page and edited in on a couple of lines where I feel there's not much debate in changing things, but as I read along I found a section called Syndromes which is described against all of the knowledge and evidence I have gathered in the last months. Specifically to explain myself most of the consensus I have gathered is that a syndrome is charachterized by a cluster of often co-occurrent signs/symptoms and that when the cause (etiology) is then discovered, the same cluster can be then called a disease. The current writing not only gives a different interpretation but gives questionable examples.
What is the way to discuss my opinions (and show the supporting evidence I have gathered) and discuss with good people with different opinions and settle for an agreed course of action ?

At Signs and symptoms the Syndrome section has no references, but there is a link to the article Syndrome. If there is better content - with references - there, you could develop a summary from what is there, with references and replace what you dislike in the S&S article. If you choose to do this, your Edit summary (at bottom of where you have edited, above Publish changes), should state where you took content and references from.

I just undid a destructive IP edit that was in the article for months, the vandalism edit is: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Judges_of_the_International_Criminal_Court&type=revision&diff=1061781489&oldid=1060871478 . Does en Wikipedia have any policy/process to avoid such destructive edits from remaining in the articles? I am a native of de (German), we have an elaborate/detailed process for this, see: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Gesichtete_Versionen . This de Wikipedia Project page links to Wikipedia:Reviewing pending changes, but it is not the same, since in de Wikipedia all articles are incuded in this process. As an Wikipedia author who contributed to the article Judges of the International Criminal Court earlier, was i supposed/expected to do this revert earlier? In fact, i do not feel able to maintain en Wikipedia articles in future i contributed to in the past. And i do not regularly look at my watchlist.

Hello there,
I submitted a post to AFC in accordance with your policies. The submission was promptly denied by a novice editor.
I disputed the reasons for the rejection on the reviewer’s page, and the reviewer simply cited new ‘reasons’-- one of which was contradictory to their previous request. The other reason was listed without providing the appropriate policy link. The reviewer then directed me to this Teahouse page.
The post in question is this: /info/en/?search=Draft:Hacker_Noon
The discussion and appeal is here, number 33. /info/en/?search=User_talk:RPSkokie#Re:_AFC:_Hacker_Noon
Please review all pieces of information. I understand the rejection reason, and it is simply not applicable. If there are changes to be made, they seemingly should fall well within the scope of what an editor may be willing to tweak. It's a tastefully sized post.
I was directed here, however I’m under the impression that there is a different area for appeals.
Happy to proceed with the appeals process as instructed in your response, as per cited policies.
Thanks so much!

Hey! I'm pretty new to Wikipedia. I submitted a page to be reviewed and it got declined because it was said to read like an advertisement.
Draft:Center for Central European Architecture
I'm not trying to make it sound like an advertisement, I just can't think how to change the wording without straying far from the source that I got the information from. I looked at the Wiki Neutrality page, but I feel like I've changed it enough to read normally. Can anyone help to look at the page and give me more pointers? Or ways that I can ask other editors to help me read through my page to help? I've seen pages accepted with much less and almost no sources, so I'm a little confused how this couldn't have been accepted.

Hi I'm planning to create a page for Lincoln Center Theater which currently redirects to Vivian Beaumont Theater . A large portion (around half) of the information on that page would make more sense to have on this page since it is not really about the Vivian Beaumont but about Lincoln Center Theater (of which Vivian Beaumont is a small part). I know that one shouldn't copy information from other wikipedia pages in general but I'm assuming since this is essentially proposing subdividing the current page and removing it there that it would be okay to copy this information over to the other page?

parameter of one of the citations you added to the article. I believe I fixed it and you can check the page's history to see what I did. Instead of linking to [[CPRE]]
, you should
WP:PIPE the link as [[CPRE, The Countryside Charity|CPRE]]
instead; so that the link goes to the intended article and not the disambiguation page. However, in this case though the link is basically
WP:SELFRED in that it links back to the same page where the citation is; so, the link won't actually go anywhere and is not really needed. --

ourhere, you have a big conflict of interest and would almost certainly not be able to write neutrally about the subject. Secondly, Wikipedia is generally uninterested in what article subjects have to say about themselves; we care about what reliable sources say and put that in a neutral tone — nothing else. If your company is truly notable enough for inclusion in the encyclopedia, someone uninvolved will likely start an article about it. However, if you still decide to create this article, you should do it as a draft at Articles for Creation, and you absolutely must follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Hello I was wondering if you guys could assist me recently I have trying to upload certain logos I know that these items are trademarked or copyrighted(for example: UFC or Rizin) but other articles that are equivalent companies or groups are allowed to have their logo displayed regardless of copyright or trademark but whenever I try to do it it never comes out the proper way and ends up getting deleted. Now I have uploaded some most of which have now been deleted and there are new ones that I would like to add the most important is the PFC Logo(MMA promotion), UFC refers to the Ultimate Fighting Championship, LFA is also a promotion.(what I'm trying to say is the logos for these are displayed on the site even though the images are copyrighted/trademarked, if I can figure out how to upload these images with the proper format then I should be able to upload this PFC image just like the LFA or another MMA promotion: https://www.google.com/search?q=Prospect+fighting+Championships+logo&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwj9h4vh6KP2AhXqqXIEHTN2BZ4Q2-cCegQIABAC&oq=Prospect+fighting+Championships+logo&gs_lcp=ChJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWcQAzoECAAQAzoHCAAQsQMQQzoFCAAQgAQ6BAgAEEM6BggAEAcQHjoECAAQDToECB4QClCyClj_jQFgnpoBaAZwAHgAgAGFAogB4SqSAQYzLjMwLjOYAQCgAQHAAQE&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img&ei=in4dYv2aNurTytMPs-yV8Ak&bih=747&biw=412&client=ms-android-rogers-ca-revc&prmd=insv#imgrc=flfeYYupLn0E4M ) for instance the PFC emblem fits the exact same criteria as this promotions logo so I should be able to add it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:RizinFF_logo.png#mw-jump-to-license , I also added photos for the Motorcycle Clubs Original Red Devils Motorcycle Club, Kings Crew Motorcycle Club, Iron Order Motorcycle Club and Gate Keepers Motorcycle Club(personal picture but was deleted anyway). Theses are all emblems of influential Motorcycle Clubs, other large clubs like the Hells Angels, Outlaws Motorcycle Club and Bandidos Motorcycle Club, Loners Motorcycle Club. Several of the club's photos I posted are now defunct but examples identical to mine can be found on other articles for other defunct Canadian Motorcycle Clubs like the Rebels Motorcycle Club (Canada) and Grim Reapers Motorcycle Club (Canada). I could post links to photos of these emblems but they are all exactly similar to the examples on the pages(hells angels, Outlaws est.) that I linked above just slightly different in design and letters. W Either way I was hoping to figure out so I can upload the photos for the club's that were removed and add new ones for Bacchus Motorcycle Club(recently tried to upload using all the information that I had to the best of my abilities but was deleted because it was not properly formatted apparently) and the Vendettas Motorcycle Club. For instance all of the photos I have adhere to these rule sets I should be able to add the photos I have listed if this one is on the site for these reasons https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Loners_MC_logo.png#mw-jump-to-license these exact rules apply to the items that I am trying to upload but for some reason I cannot get the pictures to State the same information in the same format, sorry for the paragraph there is no rush also sorry if this all seems a bit congumbled I had to take the information from previous discussions I was having a guy was helping me but he became busy with stuff outside of Wikipedia and could not help so recommended I asked the tea House , I really appreciate it CanadianHistorian(MMA & History) ( talk) 07:37, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
I appreciate your reply but the photos that I have listed are valid and once I find someone who is actually willing to help me, you will see as they will be uploaded. And if they cannot be uploaded then I will make sure that other emblems like that of the Hell's Angels and the UFC are removed from the site as they also violate copyright just as these do. I have no problem cracking down in areas once I figure out what's legitimate and what's not. These images are the exact same as the ones allowed on the site and also have similar copyright clauses.

I spend a lot of time hunting down little things and fixing them, I suppose that is what makes me a "gnome." However, I am sure there MUST be a better way that how I do it manually and laboriously. In particular right now, I am searching for any time that there is a hyphen between a range of dates, and there SHOULD be an en dash (–) vs (-). This is a tiny little fix, and I have corrected for it thousands of times, but I was curious if there was a way that I could SEARCH for ALL instances of a format like the following, YYYY (4 digit year) with a hyphen in between (-) followed by another YYYY (4 digit year).
Another thing I regularly fix is when "circa" is spelled out, I change it to "c." which is the approved/preferred way to say "circa" on the encyclopedia per the MOS. If I could search out all instances of the word "circa", then I could parse through them and correct all where appropriate. That might be easier? ♥ Th78blue ( talk)♥ 18:39, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

I am an administrator and could therefore read the deleted article. It contained unacceptable non-neutral language like a taste of his first success
and received a flurry of attention from DJs and radio stations across Canada and was on heavy rotation
and yielding the immediate attention of several record companies
and also garnered national acclaim in Poland
and was released internationally across several territories worldwide and aired heavily on Armenian national radio
. None of those assertions were referenced to coverage in independent, reliable sources and none of them were neutral in any way. None of this garbage belongs in a neutral, well referenced encyclopedia.

I notice that Wikipedia uses both American and British spellings, depending, no doubt, on who is editing it. That's fine with me, but it seems a bit extreme for an editor to change another editor's work from one to the other. The most recent edit of Titian changed "favoring" to "favouring" and "center" to "centre." Does Wikipedia have a policy about this? Maurice Magnus ( talk) 08:39, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
I see a difficulty with the policy that "an article should be written in the local flavour of English based on where its subject originates." I am an American with an interest in British history. I know some of the spelling differences, such as "flavour" for "flavor" in the phrase I just quoted. But I am likely to be unaware of others, and, in any case, I'm likely to type in the language I know. To adhere to the policy, therefore, after I post my edit, a person from England would have to change my spelling. As a practical matter, I think that we'll have to live with inconsistencies.

Whomever wrote the David Duke page seriously had some glaring errors in the elections. There's also a subtle bias there painting Duke as more flattering but wrong. For instance, the U.S. Senate (1990) states he's the only Republican and three Democrats. Then it contradicts and says Ben Bagert was nominated. Then it tries to infer Bagert was pushed out by the party. In the Governor 1991, it implies Roemer was squeezed only by Duke and ignores the effect of Clyde Holloway, who was the official endorsed GOP candidate. I think the whole page deserves and auditing and realism given to it. Acpritt ( talk) 14:43, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Dear all, I am an editor at the Catalan Wikipedia. We have been talking about a problem in the visual editor, but we haven't found any solution for the moment. The case is that when I press the grave accent key ( ` ) in a Spanish keyboard, a <code> is generated, which implies that the text I write next happens to be a line of code. This usually happens when the key is pressed twice, but a few users have it when they press only once, which becomes a problem while writing since Catalan has many words with a grave accent. This is how it looks like:

I must be doing something wrong! I want to look for second-person POV in articles so I can edit them to third-person neutral. I ran across one article about BMX racing that had several sections written this way and I really enjoyed fixing them. This was the section: /info/en/?search=BMX_racing#International_sanctioning_bodies
I created a special search for you/your/yourself, but all that gave me are TONS of pages about TV shows, plays, games, and song titles with you/your/yourself in them. I changed that to you have/you had/you must/you can, and that's still not right.
1. The phrase "you have" is split in many of the search results. Can I put quotes around it so it won't break? 2. Is there any way to focus the search on the article text, not the title? (I still get TV/plays/game/song titles in the first 500 entries.) 3. Does anybody have a better way of doing this? Or can't it be done?

I have a question. I don't know if this is a new thing or not.
So, I wrote a Wikipedia article. I did my research, I gathered my references, and I wrote the article. Now I want to submit the article. The editing tools on Wikipedia are, to put it mildly, primitive. They are one step above editing HTML source. So, I want to contract someone to submit the article for me. I don't want to spend more than a couple hundred bucks. As soon as I posted my article, which was rejected (which is OK), I was solicited by a company called "Wikipedia Submissions". How these guys are affiliated with Wikipedia is not known. I assume they are not, so their name is misleading. It turns out there are dozens of "Wikipedia Submissions" companies out there, all trolling Wikipedia looking for rookie submissions like mine.
Can anyone refer a trusted Wikipedia freelancer who will submit my article for a reasonable price? Arthur6Morgan ( talk) 17:47, 23 March 2022 (UTC)

I have recently noticed one thing, this reviewer Robert McClenon seems to be way too interested in "me" and stalking me and my works. He/She is literally "stalking" me around. I kindly request him/her to do "their" business in a proper way as this is Wikipedia not their private house or street. I am not the only editor whom they have to bother about, there are several editors who are working here. He/She is always behind me wherever I place my views or requests. Honestly, it is stalking and very annoying!!! Aren't the experienced editors supposed to help the new ones? But here he/she is just constantly trying to put some "allegation" by constantly bothering me with their comments. I'm trying my max to give "cold shoulder" but he/she doesn't seem to stop!!!

It's you. When several highly experienced editors, reviewers and administrators try to advise you, and you get combative, it's you. And there are several contradictory facts about your comments. At one place "I'm sorry but Wikipedia seems to be a very strange platform with very stupid rules and very weirdest administration!!" whereas at another "I'm editing in Wikipedia since the past 5 years..." On a separate note, you posted on an editor's talk page "My friend asked me to approach you for reviewing my drafts Draft:Chahat Pandey, Draft:Zaan Khan and Draft:Bhavika Sharma." The Khan draft was created in February by User:Jha09. Is that also you?

Recently on the page White-blue-white flag there has been a removal/reversion/removal sequence involving a section illustrating 'similar' flags. A claim is made that 'similar' flags are never illustrated on flag pages; this however is contradicted in, for example, the Rainbow flag where there is a section 'Other rainbow flags'. The Free Speech Flag carries a picture of an example embodiment of the FSF. So that's about a 50:50 split between examples for and against within the few cases I have checked in the Category:Activism flags; is there a description of accepted custom and practice in this matter, ideally a MOS for Flag pages?

I brought concerns of WP:STONEWALLING and WP:BADFAITHNEG to the WP:ANI and some editors suggested I write an WP:RFC instead to get more input. However, there has been extensive criticism of the rfc and requests to close it without discussion. I am not trying to make a biased or leading rfc so I am asking for help in tweaking the rfc. I have tried asking users to elaborate with little success.
The topic of debate is Confederate symbolism in the state flag and whether or not that information should be included in the MOS:LEAD.
I attempted to make an unbiased rfc with multiple options. This is what I came up with:
"Should we include information that the flag of Alabama is based on the Confederate battle flag in the MOS:LEAD?
A: Yes, there is sufficient evidence that the state flag of Alabama is based on the Confederate battle flag and should be included in the lead.
B: No, there is disagreement over the origins of the state flag among reliable sources and no mention of confederate symbolism should be included in the lead.
C: No, the state flag is based on the Spanish colonial flag and that should be included in the lead instead.
D: No, there is disagreement over the origins of the state flag among reliable sources and that should be mentioned in the lead.
What sources are considered reliable for this issue?"
How do I fix this so that discussion can continue? I also had an editor accuse me of WP:CANVASSING because I made an rfc. I don't think rfcs are canvassing, if they are please let me know. Desertambition ( talk) 23:05, 28 March 2022 (UTC)

Basically reading psychopathology articles I've noticed that lots of them have huge amounts of information that comes from the DSM-IV. It would be a great source, if it hadn't been superseded...in 2012. While the DSM-5 is not without controversy, every new edition of the DSM will necessarily have some controversy around it, and given that the DSM is extensively peer-reviewed and prepared over a long period of time, as well as it being the closest thing there is to an official source of information in all of psychiatry (well, jointly with the mental disorders section of the ICD-11 - speaking of which, the same problem applies where I'm seeing lots of references to the ICD-10) it seems sensible to me to have a certain level of deference to the experts and trust that the most up-to-date information is the most accurate in absence of a specific reason to the contrary. My opinion is that in the vast majority of cases updating to the DSM-5 would be best, but I'm relatively new to editing Wikipedia so I thought I'd ask about it here first.

Hi all. I've been on Wikipedia for some time now, but I hope I can still ask questions here as I am still fairly new to editing in Wikipedia. I'm wondering if, to edit an article, you need to possess a specific level of literacy in English, or be in a specific age range? I suppose the only requirement is to speak English well, as I've seen many articles with broken English be refined over time. So, out of sheer curiosity, do I need to have a minimum level of knowledge in the English language or are edits still acceptable regardless, as long as I do my research properly? Any help is appreciated. - KoolKidz112 hit me up 16:20, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi! I'm new on Wikipedia, (about a week old?) I made an account because artists I am interested in often do not have wikipedia articles. I have submitted four drafts – some of which I will return to and without being accepted or denied, there will be edits added and suggestions made, but with no username attached or any way to follow up. Is this something these editors will see if I follow up on their comments? Are there some (social?) implications I am missing when someone edits and comments in the code of an Article without approving or denying it?
(example above – I said that Tsujimura worked at "the Ningyōza puppet theatre" I came back to the draft and saw a footnote that said "vague," when I went to edit the page it said "vague | which Ningyōza?"

Hi everyone!
I recently picked up the article Möbius strip for a GA review. As soon as I looked at the article, I felt pretty confident that it did not meet the GA criteria, but I thought that I would try to work through the issues with the nominator ( David Eppstein) to see if it could be sufficiently improved. From the beginning, however, David Eppstein responded badly to my suggestions and refused to make many proposed edits. Eventually, I was frustrated and decided that I couldn't do the serious overhaul that the article needed if Eppstein wasn't going to cooperate, so I decided to just fail the article instead. This triggered a string of angry messages, which I responded to as best as I could, but culminated in David Eppstein threatening to report me to an admin.
At the moment, David Eppstein has immediately renominated his article - which is frustrating for me, because I feel like it invalidates my perspective as a reviewer and I truly believe that the article does not meet the GA criteria at the moment. He also posted a notice spreading the news of my "bad behavior" to other editors. Although I have been editing Wikipedia for several years, I have never been involved in such a serious conflict, and I'm not quite sure how to respond and defend myself. Does anyone know where I should go from here?

At the moment, David Eppstein has immediately renominated his article - which is frustrating for me, because I feel like it invalidates my perspective as a reviewer and I truly believe that the article does not meet the GA criteria at the moment.I can understand how this could be frustrating, but it's basically how the process works. See the second-last question at Wikipedia talk:Good article nominations/FAQ. In my experience, there's a lot of variance in how different reviewers (and nominators) interpret the GA criteria. I think the "understandable to an appropriately broad audience" part of WP:GACR's 1a is very important, and you provided some good feedback in that area, but I do think you're interpreting the criterion more strictly than an average reviewer would. My overall suggestion would be to put this review behind you and move on. Colin M ( talk) 18:13, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
Hi there! I submitted a biography about a notable person for review and it was rejected due to the content feeling like it was "written by a fan".
I understand completely where the feedback is coming from and why it was rejected. The wording used in the draft came from a government written biography (as a part of the award the notable person received) and thus I am assuming they did their research, my questions is... how can I use the government bio as a source? or do I need to reference the sources that they used in their biography?

Okay, okay, this is going to be incredibly pedantic. I was just looking at
University of Bristol and noticed in the alumni section that the picture of
Paul Dirac is a mirror image of that used on the article about Dirac. The two are exactly identical, the picture having been mirror-imaged, which is acknowledged in the picture's name at Commons, but not in Bristol University where it's used. The Dirac article is the correct way round.
Should we be using mirror images like this? It is, ultimately, a manipulation with no justification. The risks are small but real: some people do not have perfect facial symmetry; many people part their hair asymmetrically. Musicians adopt asymmetric postures to play their instruments, and the question of whether someone was using their right hand or left to sign a historic treaty might matter. I feel we should not be reversing the photo because it is no longer an unbiased view of Paul Dirac. In the case of Dirac, he's a fairly symmetrical bloke, neither hand is visible and he's not doing anything except smiling at something to the right (or left!) of the photographer. But if we do it with him, at what point do we declare that Enid Smith's left ear is bigger than her right ear, so we can't flip her picture? Better to avoid the whole flipping problem by not doing it.
I'm raising it here rather than Commons because it's the usage that is the problem. If someone wants to write about the relationship between theoretical physicists and their mirror images, they're most welcome to put the illustrations in Commons. But I don't think we should be showing people the wrong way round unless it's required by the context, and made clear.

The data in question is from Introduction to Time Series and Forecasting by Brockwell & Davis and, as far as I know, the data itself does not have a DOI link. In this case, should I cite the textbook itself or something different? Moon motif ( talk) 12:33, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

I mangled the name of a file I uploaded. Can I change the name? Or can I delete the file then add it again with a good name? So long as I've transcribed the mangled name right, the file is:

The name should be:
Michael O'Connell, textile artist - photo of his hanging 'Variety of British farming' in situ in the 1951 Festival of Britain.jpg
Can I update the info I provided for the file? In this case I can add a note about the copyright status of the artwork in the photo.

Hello, I am looking for opinion and help, I have asked a few editors on their talk pages as well. I wrote this article about 2022 Pakistani political crises, first it was renamed, then redirected and then merged, lastly an editor copied all the test from my article to another article. The larger article was merged into a smaller article, is there a way to rectify this? also the page was removed from my page creation stats and my work on the article is no longer referenced to me because another editor copied and pasted everything to the new article. Now this editor is the top contributor the article, even though he just copied the text from a previously existing article. Elmisnter! ( talk) 09:25, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
Elmisnter!, I wonder if a history merge is something that you'd really want. Only administrators can merge histories, and this explanation of the process is intended for administrators. However, if you read it, you may change your mind. Since it was you who asked for the history merge, I think you're free to remove the request for this. (Just be sure to give your reason for doing so.) Now, should the one title be merely a link to the other, or should the former be reverted to an article? One thing is clear: Wikipedia doesn't permit "content forks", so a moderately detailed account of one event, or one series of events, shouldn't appear in more than one article. If the one article again became two, the person who'd proposed this should be willing to do a lot of the deletion of duplicate material very soon after the separation. If you think that there should again be two articles, I think it would be best to propose this on Talk:No-confidence motion against Imran Khan, and to advertise this on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Pakistan, inviting readers to go to the talk page article and discuss the matter there. (You could also put individual invitations on the talk pages of all users who've been major contributors to either article; however, if you do this, be very careful to avoid any selection that could possibly be interpreted as "canvassing" those users who are likely to agree with you. All in all I'd suggest that you do not inform any individual users.) -- Hoary ( talk) 05:31, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi there, my name is Robert and I am a medical doctor, but almost more importantly ;) I am working with an ontologist to define a medical domain specific ontology and this is forcing me to nitpick and spend a lot of time in getting down in the gory details of concepts and related terminology that are used in current life in often confusing ways.
Avid passive user I think I might help a little bit more actively but am completely new to this so please forgive my naivety.
Just as an example today I stumbled on a (medical) Signs and Symptoms page and edited in on a couple of lines where I feel there's not much debate in changing things, but as I read along I found a section called Syndromes which is described against all of the knowledge and evidence I have gathered in the last months. Specifically to explain myself most of the consensus I have gathered is that a syndrome is charachterized by a cluster of often co-occurrent signs/symptoms and that when the cause (etiology) is then discovered, the same cluster can be then called a disease. The current writing not only gives a different interpretation but gives questionable examples.
What is the way to discuss my opinions (and show the supporting evidence I have gathered) and discuss with good people with different opinions and settle for an agreed course of action ?
Thanks for your guidance (and forgive any oddities in my writing as I'm not an English mother tongue) Rjalexander ( talk) 18:52, 31 March 2022 (UTC)
At Signs and symptoms the Syndrome section has no references, but there is a link to the article Syndrome. If there is better content - with references - there, you could develop a summary from what is there, with references and replace what you dislike in the S&S article. If you choose to do this, your Edit summary (at bottom of where you have edited, above Publish changes), should state where you took content and references from. Copy/paste from one Wikipedia article to another is allowed if attributed. David notMD ( talk) 19:31, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello there,
I submitted a post to AFC in accordance with your policies. The submission was promptly denied by a novice editor.
I disputed the reasons for the rejection on the reviewer’s page, and the reviewer simply cited new ‘reasons’-- one of which was contradictory to their previous request. The other reason was listed without providing the appropriate policy link. The reviewer then directed me to this Teahouse page.
The post in question is this: /info/en/?search=Draft:Hacker_Noon
The discussion and appeal is here, number 33. /info/en/?search=User_talk:RPSkokie#Re:_AFC:_Hacker_Noon
Please review all pieces of information. I understand the rejection reason, and it is simply not applicable. If there are changes to be made, they seemingly should fall well within the scope of what an editor may be willing to tweak. It's a tastefully sized post.
I was directed here, however I’m under the impression that there is a different area for appeals.
Happy to proceed with the appeals process as instructed in your response, as per cited policies.
Thanks so much!

Hey! I'm pretty new to Wikipedia. I submitted a page to be reviewed and it got declined because it was said to read like an advertisement.
Draft:Center for Central European Architecture
I'm not trying to make it sound like an advertisement, I just can't think how to change the wording without straying far from the source that I got the information from. I looked at the Wiki Neutrality page, but I feel like I've changed it enough to read normally. Can anyone help to look at the page and give me more pointers? Or ways that I can ask other editors to help me read through my page to help? I've seen pages accepted with much less and almost no sources, so I'm a little confused how this couldn't have been accepted.

Hi I'm planning to create a page for Lincoln Center Theater which currently redirects to Vivian Beaumont Theater . A large portion (around half) of the information on that page would make more sense to have on this page since it is not really about the Vivian Beaumont but about Lincoln Center Theater (of which Vivian Beaumont is a small part). I know that one shouldn't copy information from other wikipedia pages in general but I'm assuming since this is essentially proposing subdividing the current page and removing it there that it would be okay to copy this information over to the other page?

WP:PIPE the link as [[CPRE, The Countryside Charity|CPRE]]
