Draft:British Certificate of Travel
Hi all, this submission of a travel document was recently rejected because the editor stated that there is a page containing all documents issued by the British authority. I am not totally convinced by this reason since the same document issued by other countries are all hosted in their own article rather than being contained in a list, there is also a comment from another editor recognising the notability. Is there a test we can put this article through to win its right of a dedicated page? FHTA8817 ( talk) 15:59, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
I was blocked and I have never edited anything before, in fact I wasn't going to, I clicked by accident the pen and a red text below appear saying that one particular user had blocked me. Then I thought “what could I've possibly done to get this punishment?” I started reading the help section, and it happens that
1) the publisher of an article doesn't want anyone to edit it, so he/she blocks every single IP, or perhaps just bock a rage of IPS for some reason. So, don't worry.
2) you had a disgusting attitude in the past, and you have been blocked for a while.
So, try to edit another article to figure out what happened. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.60.51.183 ( talk) 13:57, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi,
I have been a wikipedia user for a long time now and I have contributed on and off over the years whenever I have had the time, because I do genuinely think it's a noble effort, and I do have specific areas of in depth knowledge that are niche due to my background -- though I would not call myself knowledgable on all the guidelines, and have most definitely made mistakes that needed to be fixed etc..., I am more than happy to learn and have always tended to try to ask for clarifications so I can improve. But as I have had a bit more time in to be around here the past month, I can't help but notice that one specific account has been watching my activity closely, which I wouldn't have minded but they tend to have a very curt -- almost aggressive -- tone of voice in all of their interactions with everyone, as evidenced by their talk page..,
Today, as soon as I uploaded something on a wikipedia sister page, I noticed they immediately flagged two other items I had uploaded almost 7 years ago for deletion -- again, I am not claiming to be perfect, and those things may indeed need to be deleted -- but the tone and laser focus of them following me around multiple wiki-sites by the same user..., just feels very unfriendly and almost, dare I say... "predatory"..., any advice?
My experience here has otherwise been largely positive, but this is making me feel insecure and demotivated to even try to contribute anything. SleepyWhippet ( talk) 22:49, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
@ SleepyWhippet: If you feel harrassed or disturbed by the behavior of one or more users, WP:ANI is the place to report it to see if administrator action is needed. However, it is commonplace for people patrolling Wikipedia, if they notice something odd or questionable that you did, to look at your other contributions. ~ Anachronist ( talk) 04:42, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello everyone,
First of all, I apologise for the inconvenience. I think I accidentally approved my own article for creation ( Marcelo Kohen) — and I am not sure I am allowed to do that. I have become an autoconfirmed and more experienced editor since I first created this draft. Since it became possible for me to simply move the draft into an article, I went ahead and did it, but now I am wondering whether this is allowed at all. Please let me know how to proceed — the least thing I want is to violate the rules.
Thank you! Pugliese23 ( talk) 02:46, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Hey guys, I just edited the "List of Most Expensive Cars Sold at Auction" article, but I need some help putting the finishing touches on it. While there is a hyperlink to the yahoo article I used as the source of the information, all we see in the references section is a hyperlink tab, but not the actual information. I need help editing the references section. Also, the graph displaying the number of vehicles each marque has on the list needs to be updated to add one for Mercedes-Benz to make their total 13. Additionally, the graph needs to be updated graphically as well to account for the new sale. Finally, the absolute record section needs to be updated showing the Uhlenhaut coupe on top of the list, highlighted in green. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as this sale took place two days ago, and we need this article to stay up to date. Thanks. SuperHyper74 ( talk) 22:51, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

An article I created for the women’s ice hockey team Kiekko-Espoo was recently moved over an existing redirect at Kiekko-Espoo Naiset by another editor. The title change is not overly controversial to me but the original article namespace, Kiekko-Espoo, has been reappropriated for use with the men’s team of the same name and all of the page links created for the women’s team continue to link to that namespace. The page history has also been broken. I tried to undo the move but a message stated the move had already been undone, which does not appear to be accurate. I’ve begun trying to fix all of the broken links but would like to know if there is any way to correctly move the page history and links to the new namespace.

But just to make it clear - supporting the Russian aggression against the Ukraine will get one blocked.because you were explaining their actions and your response on another wiki. It's the insinuation that followed that this editor has been a troll on places other than ru.wiki,
And not only on the Russian Wikipedia. We have had more than enough pro-Putin proxy-using-trolls so far., that I take issue with as they have not been proven to be such on en.wiki.

The Settlers High School commissioned a drone photograph offering a panoramic view of the buildings and fields. This is an authentic and up to date view of the school which we would like to adorn our Wikipedia Page. The text edits I was asked to place to make the site more up to date and relevant to changes that have taken place at the school in recent years have been posted and accepted, but the photograph gives me a message that this doesn't seem constructive. There is nothing offensive about the photograph at all and it is simply a view of the school taken from a drone.

I have recently been reading a number of books by biblical historians on the history of the ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judea. I have discovered that beginning in the 1980s a number of dramatic changes have taken place in the way biblical historians write about these ancient kingdoms and their history. Modern biblical historians no longer assume uncritically that the Deuteronomistic "histories" included in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament (HB/OT) are historically accurate. They see much of the so-called "history" writing in HB/OT as being motivated by the Judean writers' biases and their ideological and theological objectives in writing them. As a result, modern biblical historians look to extrabiblical texts, archaeological studies, and demographic studies to reach tentative conclusions about actions and events which took place in ancient Israel and Judea during biblical times. I have attempted to update a Wikipedia article titled "Assyrian Siege of Jerusalem" with modern historical accounts of this event, but someone is undoing/removing my additions to the traditional account provided in the Wikipedia article, an article which relies heavily on older scholarship and conservative evangelical accounts which assume the HB/OT account is historically accurate. Why are my brief additions to this article, additions which are taken from more recent scholarly accounts of the siege, being undone/removed? Rodger Kroell ( talk) 20:19, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi everyone. Today, I am here to know, how or if at all, I can move talk page sections around easily. This might seem unclear, so I am trying to be specific. This is my talk page archive. Due to certain problems, the archiving was messed up and the messages on the archive aren't in order, that is the messages aren't date wise, that is not in the order in which they arrived. I know that I can use the cut and paste function to arrange the sections, but that is really a tough job. My archive is also really big. And the whole archive can also get messed up. What I want to know is, is there any script of tool (or anything near to it), that will help me arrange the archive by letting me easily move the talk page section? Like for example, there can be a hand sort of thing with which I can drag the talk page sections and place it at the desired place I want it to be. Is such a thing possible? If not, then how do I assemble my talk page archive properly in the way, they were before archival. Will be happy if someone helps me in this. Best, Itcouldbepossible Talk 08:05, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Good afternoon. I am a citizen of Ukraine and I want to make adjustments to the definition of the Ukrainian Azov Battalion. Sorry, I can't edit this article, but please consider my corrections. First, the name is not correct, ie not the Azov Battalion, but the Azov Regiment. Secondly, the very definition of the Ozone Battalion is incorrect. Now it is said that The Special Operations Detachment "Azov" (Ukrainian: Окремий загін спеціального призначення «Азов», romanized: Okremyi zahin spetsialnoho pryznachennia "Azov"), also known as the Azov Regiment (Ukrainian: Полк «Азов», romanized: Polk "Azov") and the Azov Battalion (Ukrainian: батальйон «Азов», romanized: Bataliyon "Azov"), is a neo-Nazi[disputed – discuss] unit of the National Guard of Ukraine based in Mariupol in the coastal region of the Sea of Azov, from which it derives its name.
This is a wrong definition. I would like to change the definition to: A separate detachment of special purpose "Azov", also known as the regiment "Azov" (OZSP "Azov", unit 3057) - the formation of the National Guard of Ukraine (NMU), which is part of the 12th brigade of operational purpose of the Eastern Operational Territorial NMU. The formation was established in 2014 as the Azov Volunteer Battalion and until November 11, 2014 was a unit of the special police patrol service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. The detachment is based in Mariupol, Donetsk region (temporarily based in Berdyansk, Zaporizhia region).

Discussions on this page often lead to previous arguments being restated, especially about the use of neo-Nazi descriptor in the lede.(emphasis mine). The probability that you manage to change consensus on that point is pretty low even if you have a complete mastery of Wikipedia sourcing guidelines and access to a comprehensive database of newspapers; it is virtually zero without those.

WP:F7 B says the following: "Non-free images or media from a commercial source (e.g. Associated Press, Getty Images), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary, are considered an invalid claim of fair use and fail the strict requirements of Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria; and may be deleted immediately.".
Where does this rule come from? Is this based on US law? PhotographyEdits ( talk) 11:01, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
Pictures of deceased persons, in articles about that person, provided that ever obtaining a free close substitute is not reasonably likely., not every image from AP / Getty in general. To me, it seems that WP:ITN obituaries with photographs are already serious competitors to obituary headlines from online newspapers; using an AP / Getty image in that reeeally stretches the bounds of fair use. Furthermore, a "bare minimum" low-resolution on desktop can still appear flawless on mobile. Tigraan Click here for my talk page ("private" contact) 13:18, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi, following is a page of a right-wing politician in Israel, https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%90%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%AA_%D7%A1%D7%98%D7%A8%D7%95%D7%A7 The page editors have decided to write her (in the Hebrew page alone) as a Human-rights activist. If you follow Israeli politics you know that the dear MP Orit Strok is in favor of some radical right-wings ideas and her main concern is to care for the Israeli settlers in the (occupied) west-bank.

Some months back I placed an entry here for TaxiPoint. Nothing seems to have happened and was wondering whether I've actually included enough information or done it correctly.
Wikipedia:Requested articles/Arts and entertainment#Media networks and organizations
We've been quoted in several mainstream publications, we are the industry's most read news source in the world (over 1 million different annual users) and appear on all mainstream news aggregators. We've also got several references linking back to our news articles that already appear on Wikipedia.
Is there anything else I should be doing or can be doing?
Many thanks for your time!

We've been quoted in several mainstream publications→ notability is not inherited; a quote is always a passing mention, failing (3)
we are the industry's most read news source in the world (over 1 million different annual users)→ while it makes it more likely that someone else will have written about you, we need the actual source; a mere listing of news sources by readership would fail (3)
we [are cited in Wikipedia articles]→ it only means Wikipedia editors consider your articles to be reliable sources (at least some of them for some claims), but that is not correlated with notability - many local newspapers with low circulation are as reliable as journalism can be but not notable; on the other end of the scale, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a very notable historical document but absolutely unreliable
You may request an article below, but please keep in mind that Requested Articles is more like a list of ideas for interested editors to peruse, rather than an article writing service where we methodically try to write every article. Most requested articles will not be written.

For the notability of a draft about a film director that I am working on, it was suggested that I add the notability of the films directed. One of the films premiered at the most prestigious film awards in Russia and won multiple awards, however not all of the awards went to the director specifically (for example best cinematography would go to the cinematographer of the film, not the director). My question is how would I properly structure the "awards" section for the film director? many thanks.

I have never contributed to Wikipedia in any way for many reasons, one being time constraints. I will, though, have some more time available in the near future. I would like to translate many of Wikipedia's excellent pages (especially science related) from English to Afrikaans, where the Afrikaans page is non-existent or only a seed page. Two questions (1) Is this normally done, i.e. just translating from one language to another (because I notice that French and English Wiki pages often differ much in content). (2) If simple translation is allowed/encouraged, where do I start? 105.225.129.69 ( talk) 18:34, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi team,
I am new to Wikipedia, only created one article and did changes to a few others. I am having a hard time trying to understand what is wrong with this proposal for AQUIRIS game studio page draft:
I got the following observation by a mod: The draft is put together from passing mentions of the company. Many sources do not mention the company at all and the sources often do not fit the written text.
All the sources mention AQUIRIS, also I don't know what "the sources often do not fit the written text" means.
Could you assist /orient me on this please?

Hello,
I am a new comer to creating and editing Wikipedia pages. however i have spent maybe hours combing through the site for interesting information. In 2021 a family member of mine died. And he had a huge effect on Alaska, however he lacks a Wikipedia page to him. And i promised myself at his funeral that i would not let such an injustice stand. And so i stand here today asking with much respect that anyone who is interested help me make a Wikipedia page to the late Chief of Ruby. AlaskanBorn ( talk) 06:15, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
AlaskaBorn I am guessing that your intention is to create an article about First Traditional Chief Donald Honea, Sr. of Ruby, Alaska. As pointed out above, this would only be plausible if people have published articles in newspapers or on websites about Honea. Only if you are sure you have those items to use as references should you attempt this task. A Google search on "Donald Honea, Sr" did yield several obituaries, but this may not be enough to justify an article. As an alternative, consider adding content about the Native American presence to the History section of Ruby, Alaska. David notMD ( talk) 10:13, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi. I'm a Highschool senior. As a senior we were tasked with doing a extensive project that required a thirty minuet presentation. I decided to do my project on a family friend, who has gotten very famous, and has even got himself a exhibit in the Smithsonian Museum. The project went very well. I ended up interviewing him for a hour. Here's the question. I wanted to pay him back for all of the help he has given me. so when I looked at his article on Wikipedia I noticed that it was severely out of date. I would love to update his article to include his most recent achievements with his help, but I don't know if I'm qualified to do so.

My article has been rejected for being too commercial, and for not using independent sources. I did review several other Wikipedia articles on companies in the field of chemical instrumentation before I wrote this. I tried to use a neutral tone, introducing facts about the history of the company that might be of interest for notability, not for promotional purposes. I almost exclusively used used references from the scientific literature or from media outlets not associated with the company (mostly to support facts about business issues), with only one reference from a company annual report.

I found an egregious error in a French-language Wikipedia article, so I left a message on the talk page. It was made clear to me that I needed to communicate in French, so I translated the message and reposted it. It's been two weeks and I haven't heard anything back. The question is: is it kosher to edit a foreign-language wiki? Note this doesn't regard the language or a translation, it's a matter of fact. The info box for the article about a novel incorrectly lists the name the author used as a working title, not the title it was actually published under.
There's also an error in the body of the article. They use the French phrase "pepites d'dor" (gold nuggets) which definitely should be "mineral d'or" (gold ore). The novel was originally published in English, so the editor was basing their plot summary off a translated edition, so I figured that might be a problem, so I included that information in my original message, but intend to let it go at that. Is that correct behavior, or should I edit that too (if editing is appropriate at all)? -- Pete Best Beatles ( talk) 19:37, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
I'm new to Wikipedia, and am trying to understand the consensus on ranking people and works.
Every now and then I stumble across Wikipedia articles involving science and mathematics where it is said: "The work A is the greatest work of X" or "The work A is one of the top 3 greatest works of X". Here X can be a person (e.g. "John Doe") or X can be a domain (e.g. "biology").
I personally find rankings of "greatness" unhelpful as it is conveys no useful information to me. Great in what sense and to whom? It is subjective and vague to me.
If I change perspectives, and ask myself, why do people write such statements? Maybe what they mean is:
I'm aware of WP:NPOV and WP:WEASEL. However, it is not clear to me what the consensus on rankings are, when it is sourced. Can anybody be an authority on "greatness"? I have a very strong opinion on the unhelpfulness of "greatest" type of statements, but it unclear to me what the consensus is.

Hello everyone,
I spotted that there's been a recent vandalism problem at Goodfellas (presumably triggered by the news of Ray Liotta's death) that led to the page being semi-protected - while looking through the article's history, I noticed that some of the edits reverting the vandalism were from an IP user who included racial slurs in their edit summaries aimed at the vandals (e.g. this diff: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Goodfellas&oldid=1090062105). This is clearly unacceptable and in violation of Wikipedia's policies, but I'm not a regular editor and don't really know what, if anything, can be done about it. Is this something that can be removed? Is this something that community consensus says should be removed, even if doing so is technically possible, or should it be left up? (The IP in question seems to have already been banned for their racism, so hopefully the problem won't recur, at least). Any advice would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance!

Hello, I’m a COI editor for Fitness Blender, which was recently reviewed and accepted and moved into article space. Then nominated at AFD shortly after. I’ve read the WP:GNG guidelines thoroughly and I’m a bit perplexed that this article was nominated for deletion. Here’s WP:SIGCOV by independent reporters in this Wall Street Journal article about the company, this Seattle Times article about the company, a more than passing mention in the New York Times, this Insider article about the company, this KING5 article about the company, this Seattle Met article about the company, this Paste Magazine article about the company, among others. These are not press releases. I understand that people don’t like companies using Wikipedia for promotion, but I feel like these sources are being overlooked in this discussion. The nominator thinks because some of these have quotes from the founders, that they are interviews, and thus should not count. But these are not Q&As and nothing I can see in WP:INTERVIEW states that an article with quotes from the subject throughout cannot be used for WP:GNG. The article was kept thin to avoid being promotional, but I do think the company is notable given the sources linked above. Am I missing something about notability guidelines? Just looking for some help or guidance. Thanks. ButtercupBaleen ( talk) 16:31, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
I have been advised, when editing an existing article which consistently avoids the use of citation templates, that I should not change a citation I'm modifying to use a citation template without first oobtaining consensus. Is that really the case?
To be clear, I'm not offering to go through the article and change all the citations to templates, but it seems to me that using a template offers important advantages. I would likely avoid fixing citations if I couldn't use a template. FWIW, I do all my Wiki edits with the "traditional" editor rather than the visual editor.

to put it very concisely: UTC is "co-ordinated universal time". It does not belong to any country nor to any poles. Also, UTC does not have daylight saving mode, so it never changes and remains the same throughout the year. So, it can act neutrally (not belonging to any country) — nobody gets disappointed, and it is a good "fixed" point of reference for other countries/time zones (as UTC is same all the year). —usernamekiran (talk) 19:03, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello, our company name is NFTi Emporium and we recently put our page in wikipedia.
However after a short period of time it was found out that is was proposed for a deletion,
we were very confused why it was, later we found out if was by the person @Zippybonzo
We contacted with this user what the issues were, then the user stated that the issues were
the following
- There was a source that does not count as a source, which is a twitter link.
- There was no user declaration made that who wrote this wikipedia page is getting
paid by the company NFTi Emporium. /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Paid-contribution_disclosure
In response the twitter source has been deleted.
And the user who wrote that is Ekcs27 the disclosure has been made.
So everything has been sorted out accordingly.
We now ask can the deletion message on the page now been removed after appropriate actions have
been taken and things have been amended.

Hello! I have a friend who was involved in criminal case back in 2016 that was regionally notable (covered by about 20 media outlets).
To make more of a long story short, the State's version of events was inaccurate and there was significant police misconduct that directly influenced the conviction. This didn't come out until after (the DA withheld evidence), and he tried to appeal, and though he was told he had grounds to appeal, it would only have set him back to square one, not thrown the case out, as it should have. His family, at that point, had endured quite a bit already, so another two years of it seemed cruel and he elected not to. Sadly, our system is a business that's predicated on the irrational pursuit of convictions rather than the objective pursuit of the truth. This has harmed countless people and their families over the years.
Without getting into a ton of detail in this question, he has extensive evidence that the State's version was inaccurate, even a recent report from a private investigator. He also approached the news outlets who covered the case, and, to date, 15 have removed their content after seeing the evidence of what actually did and didn't occur, including a few larger ones. In fact, in response partly due to his case, a larger one recently debuted an initiative where they allow people the opportunity to have outdated articles removed to help them in moving on with their lives—so, some good is coming from his situation.
Why I'm reaching out on his behalf is there are a handful of news outlets remaining that are being stubborn and mean. He’s only ever reached out politely and respectfully, but they refuse to look at the evidence he has, which is an extreme breach of the journalistic code of ethics. And that's why it got me thinking about Wikipedia. His case was an historical event, and Wikipedia would be a great way to get the truth out there, especially since Wikipedia ranks high in search engines. It would be a way for him to counteract the fake news, and it would be a massive blessing and help to his family as the fake news has been highly damaging socially, economically, and personally.
The purpose of the Wikipedia page would simply be to display the truth and that the State's version is false and has always been false. So, if a potential employer, or, say, his child's parents were to stumble upon his name online, they would at least have some correct information to counteract the false stuff. Please let me know how to get started on this if It’s even possible. Thanks so much!

I somewhat frequently have a bit of an issue where I would like to have a wikitable with some notes in it. I can use Template:efn and Template:notelist, but notelist collects all notes that occur before it in the page, which is sometimes undesirable. It even seems to ignore reference groups. As an example
Lorem ipsum{{efn|dolor sit amit{{refn|{{harvcoltxt|Syed|1998|pages=19-20}}}}}} == Table == {| class = "wikitable" ! consectetur adipiscing elit{{efn|group="table"|sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua<ref>{{harvcoltxt|Syed|1998|pages=48-49}}</ref>}} |} {{notelist|group="table"}} == Notes == {{notelist}} == References == {{reflist}}
This above puts both notes in the first notelist, but I want only notes in the table
group to be put in that notelist.
The other thing I've tried is to use the references
html.
Lorem ipsum{{efn|dolor sit amit}} == Table == {| class = "wikitable" ! consectetur adipiscing elit<ref name="note2" group="table"/> |} <references group="table"> <ref name="note2" group="table">sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua{{refn|{{harvcoltxt|Syed|1998|pages=48-49}}}}</ref> |} </references> == Notes == {{notelist}} == References == {{reflist}}
This fixes the above problem, but introduces some new ones. The citation disappears and the group forces the note to be called "table 1", which I'd like for it to not be. I've tried a few more minor variations on the above two, but I've not been able to get the desired outcome.

@ AquitaneHungerForce The different styles of numbering are an intentional feature of the notes templates, so that they are visually distinct and easy to seperate from references which are denoted by numbers. If you want to have the notes use numbers like the references then you can use {{ Refn}} instead, which does accept arbitrary group names. Try the following:
Lorem ipsum{{refn|group=notes|dolor sit amit{{refn|{{harvcoltxt|Syed|1998|pages=19-20}}}}}} == Table == {| class = "wikitable" ! consectetur adipiscing elit{{refn|group=table|sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua<ref>{{harvcoltxt|Syed|1998|pages=48-49}}</ref>}} |} {{reflist|group=table}} == Notes == {{reflist|group=notes}} == References == {{reflist}}

I recently purchased Woven Jacquard Silk Portrait panel of George Washington at a charity auction. The panel has documented estate provenance. The panel was made in Lyon, France in 1856. From what I've learned on line, there is one in the Smithsonian and one at the MET. There are no articles in Wikipedia on this panel. I don't know how many were produced in France, or how it got to America (or when). It would be really cool to create a wikipedia arctic on this. What do you think?

A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.So, assemble a list of reliable sources that devote significant coverage to the weaving. If you can find three to five of those sources, then you can start writing an article draft. Without such coverage, it is not possible to write an acceptable article. In addition, there is the issue of your Conflict of interest as an owner of one of these weavings. If you manage to produce a compehensive article about this weaving, it could plausibly increase the value of your weaving. You need to openly disclose your conflict of interest (as you have commendably done here), and defer to experienced editors who do not have a COI. Cullen328 ( talk) 01:14, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello!
General editing question. A company has rebranded, and the Wikipedia document still references the previous brand name - whilst the document references the new, and in the infobox references the old brand name as "formerly". My assumption is that this document title (and reference URL) won't change, unless there is substantial need/cause for further disambiguation amongst other namesakes. Am I correct in this assumption? This is the article in question: Proton Technologies - I saw the question raised in the contrib notes and this got me thinking as I can't see any direct guidance on this.

The article Dichotomy is supposedly about dichotomy in logic, yet contains a slew of example from outside logic. I'd like to remove the lot of them, and if someone wishes to reuse those in a different article, then that's great. However, if the article is to be limited to logic, then perhaps it could be retitled something like Dichotomy in logic, or Dichotomy (Logic)? Also, one of the Categories to which it has been assigned is Greek words and phrases, but Dichotomy is not a Greek word, it is a word with Greek etymology. In fact, the entire Category suffers from this confusion, as it is a hodgepodge of Greek words, words that are same in both languages, English words with Greek roots, and English translations of Greek phrases. I'd like to delete at least all the English words, unless 'close enuf' is what to aim for. Knoitalno ( talk) 18:46, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

We all know about the ongoing defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. Search up Depp and everything that comes up is Depp v Heard. Same thing when searching up Heard. I just think for the time of the trial (until sentencing date and as long as the word "Depp" is associated most with Depp v Heard and the word "Heard" is also associated most with Depp v Heard) both Depp and Heard should redirect to Depp v Heard, as most searchers will be looking for the trial and scandal and not Johnny Depp's life and film career or the super basic word heard that everybody knows the definition of usually. -- Otis the Texan ( talk) 03:54, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

I look up celebrities on Wikipedia all the time. In the “early years” section, the celebrity’s parents are always listed. I just now looked up Alvin Ailey after watching a PBS documentary on his life, and was surprised to see that his mother’s name was not included in his early years description. Her presence was mentioned, but her name was omitted. She was a very important figure throughout his life and the absence of her actual name seems terribly disrespectful. I honestly can’t think of why, when among all the many celebrity entries I’ve read on Wikipedia the parents are named, this oversight of Alvin Ailey’s mother’s name has happened.
Can someone please look into it and correct the exclusion? They both deserve better.

I am confused by the double standard in creating new articles on Wikipedia.
I created Nano Energy based on hundreds of articles on Wikipedia for similar journals with the same set of references, but it was moved to draft. I raised the concern to the person who rejected it to restore it.
I re-submitted Draft:Exaly (I had no contribution to it) which already had several reliable and independent references (mostly from universities and academics), and it was rejected twice. I can give you tons of examples of similar articles on Wikipedia with much fewer independent references.
I understand that each reviewer/administrator interprets the requirements differently, but it is not justified to reject something when there are similar articles on Wikipedia. It is like the Common law in the justice system.
What is the strategy of Wikipedia for having a uniform encyclopedia?
I wanted to create the articles for missing journals, but I know I will encounter the same problem. MojoDiJi ( talk) 12:49, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

So, yeah. It isnt really that good of an idea to have a page for the Abyssinian Guinea pig itself, since Guinea pig breeds are quite similar to each other. The reasons to why are below.
The only main difference is really just the Guinea pig’s coat type. Each breed is the same size and body shape, all of them have a large variation of coat colors, and lastly, each one has the same personality, and really only varies by the individual Guinea Pig that you own.
In addition, the Abyssinian Guinea pig isn’t really a special breed itself, given that each breed of Guinea pig is diverse towards the type of coat they have. The only distinguishing feature they really have is spiky and frizzy hair that looks kind of messy.
That’s all I really have to say for why there shouldn’t be a page for Abyssinian Guinea pig. BoiBoi303 ( talk) 13:25, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

On March 21, 2022, after a decisive victory, (then) college basketball player, Bennedict Mathurin, was accused of groping a cheerleader from the opposing team. This was captured in a viral video and widely reported by a variety of news outlets including the Associated Press and ESPN ( https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/33579541/arizona-wildcats-bennedict-mathurin-says-reached-tcu-video-shows-possible-contact-horned-frogs-dancer).
I have been trying to work some kind of reference to these allegations into Mathurin’s page, but I have faced a great deal of resistance. I am not stuck on the actual words I used. I just feel like this information should be reported upon in some fashion. I feel like the administrator is misusing procedural recommendations to bury any reference to this incident.

I have been a wikipedia user for a long time now and I have contributed on and off over the years whenever I have had the time, because I do genuinely think it's a noble effort, and I do have specific areas of in depth knowledge that are niche due to my background -- though I would not call myself knowledgable on all the guidelines, and have most definitely made mistakes that needed to be fixed etc..., I am more than happy to learn and have always tended to try to ask for clarifications so I can improve. But as I have had a bit more time in to be around here the past month, I can't help but notice that one specific account has been watching my activity closely, which I wouldn't have minded but they tend to have a very curt -- almost aggressive -- tone of voice in all of their interactions with everyone, as evidenced by their talk page..,
Today, as soon as I uploaded something on a wikipedia sister page, I noticed they immediately flagged two other items I had uploaded almost 7 years ago for deletion -- again, I am not claiming to be perfect, and those things may indeed need to be deleted -- but the tone and laser focus of them following me around multiple wiki-sites by the same user..., just feels very unfriendly and almost, dare I say... "predatory"..., any advice?
My experience here has otherwise been largely positive, but this is making me feel insecure and demotivated to even try to contribute anything. SleepyWhippet ( talk) 22:49, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
@ SleepyWhippet: If you feel harrassed or disturbed by the behavior of one or more users, WP:ANI is the place to report it to see if administrator action is needed. However, it is commonplace for people patrolling Wikipedia, if they notice something odd or questionable that you did, to look at your other contributions. ~ Anachronist ( talk) 04:42, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

talk - 00:36, 22 May 2022 (UTC)Hello! I’m an intermediate Wikipedian, and I’m creating a page for the first time. I’ve made some info, but still researching. Does anyone know how to save an unfinished Wikipedia page? NonPopularPerson ( talk) 23:32, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
Hello everyone,
First of all, I apologise for the inconvenience. I think I accidentally approved my own article for creation ( Marcelo Kohen) — and I am not sure I am allowed to do that. I have become an autoconfirmed and more experienced editor since I first created this draft. Since it became possible for me to simply move the draft into an article, I went ahead and did it, but now I am wondering whether this is allowed at all. Please let me know how to proceed — the least thing I want is to violate the rules.
Thank you! Pugliese23 ( talk) 02:46, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

Hey guys, I just edited the "List of Most Expensive Cars Sold at Auction" article, but I need some help putting the finishing touches on it. While there is a hyperlink to the yahoo article I used as the source of the information, all we see in the references section is a hyperlink tab, but not the actual information. I need help editing the references section. Also, the graph displaying the number of vehicles each marque has on the list needs to be updated to add one for Mercedes-Benz to make their total 13. Additionally, the graph needs to be updated graphically as well to account for the new sale. Finally, the absolute record section needs to be updated showing the Uhlenhaut coupe on top of the list, highlighted in green. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as this sale took place two days ago, and we need this article to stay up to date. Thanks. SuperHyper74 ( talk) 22:51, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

An article I created for the women’s ice hockey team Kiekko-Espoo was recently moved over an existing redirect at Kiekko-Espoo Naiset by another editor. The title change is not overly controversial to me but the original article namespace, Kiekko-Espoo, has been reappropriated for use with the men’s team of the same name and all of the page links created for the women’s team continue to link to that namespace. The page history has also been broken. I tried to undo the move but a message stated the move had already been undone, which does not appear to be accurate. I’ve begun trying to fix all of the broken links but would like to know if there is any way to correctly move the page history and links to the new namespace.

The Settlers High School commissioned a drone photograph offering a panoramic view of the buildings and fields. This is an authentic and up to date view of the school which we would like to adorn our Wikipedia Page. The text edits I was asked to place to make the site more up to date and relevant to changes that have taken place at the school in recent years have been posted and accepted, but the photograph gives me a message that this doesn't seem constructive. There is nothing offensive about the photograph at all and it is simply a view of the school taken from a drone.

I have recently been reading a number of books by biblical historians on the history of the ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judea. I have discovered that beginning in the 1980s a number of dramatic changes have taken place in the way biblical historians write about these ancient kingdoms and their history. Modern biblical historians no longer assume uncritically that the Deuteronomistic "histories" included in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament (HB/OT) are historically accurate. They see much of the so-called "history" writing in HB/OT as being motivated by the Judean writers' biases and their ideological and theological objectives in writing them. As a result, modern biblical historians look to extrabiblical texts, archaeological studies, and demographic studies to reach tentative conclusions about actions and events which took place in ancient Israel and Judea during biblical times. I have attempted to update a Wikipedia article titled "Assyrian Siege of Jerusalem" with modern historical accounts of this event, but someone is undoing/removing my additions to the traditional account provided in the Wikipedia article, an article which relies heavily on older scholarship and conservative evangelical accounts which assume the HB/OT account is historically accurate. Why are my brief additions to this article, additions which are taken from more recent scholarly accounts of the siege, being undone/removed? Rodger Kroell ( talk) 20:19, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Finishing an additional entry within Net neutrality by country, I recognized a link within the "Languages" Section of the left side menu, reading "Deutsch" and pointing to https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_(Schweiz).

Hi everyone. Today, I am here to know, how or if at all, I can move talk page sections around easily. This might seem unclear, so I am trying to be specific. This is my talk page archive. Due to certain problems, the archiving was messed up and the messages on the archive aren't in order, that is the messages aren't date wise, that is not in the order in which they arrived. I know that I can use the cut and paste function to arrange the sections, but that is really a tough job. My archive is also really big. And the whole archive can also get messed up. What I want to know is, is there any script of tool (or anything near to it), that will help me arrange the archive by letting me easily move the talk page section? Like for example, there can be a hand sort of thing with which I can drag the talk page sections and place it at the desired place I want it to be. Is such a thing possible? If not, then how do I assemble my talk page archive properly in the way, they were before archival. Will be happy if someone helps me in this. Best, Itcouldbepossible Talk 08:05, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Good afternoon. I am a citizen of Ukraine and I want to make adjustments to the definition of the Ukrainian Azov Battalion. Sorry, I can't edit this article, but please consider my corrections. First, the name is not correct, ie not the Azov Battalion, but the Azov Regiment. Secondly, the very definition of the Ozone Battalion is incorrect. Now it is said that The Special Operations Detachment "Azov" (Ukrainian: Окремий загін спеціального призначення «Азов», romanized: Okremyi zahin spetsialnoho pryznachennia "Azov"), also known as the Azov Regiment (Ukrainian: Полк «Азов», romanized: Polk "Azov") and the Azov Battalion (Ukrainian: батальйон «Азов», romanized: Bataliyon "Azov"), is a neo-Nazi[disputed – discuss] unit of the National Guard of Ukraine based in Mariupol in the coastal region of the Sea of Azov, from which it derives its name.
This is a wrong definition. I would like to change the definition to: A separate detachment of special purpose "Azov", also known as the regiment "Azov" (OZSP "Azov", unit 3057) - the formation of the National Guard of Ukraine (NMU), which is part of the 12th brigade of operational purpose of the Eastern Operational Territorial NMU. The formation was established in 2014 as the Azov Volunteer Battalion and until November 11, 2014 was a unit of the special police patrol service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. The detachment is based in Mariupol, Donetsk region (temporarily based in Berdyansk, Zaporizhia region).

Discussions on this page often lead to previous arguments being restated, especially about the use of neo-Nazi descriptor in the lede.(emphasis mine). The probability that you manage to change consensus on that point is pretty low even if you have a complete mastery of Wikipedia sourcing guidelines and access to a comprehensive database of newspapers; it is virtually zero without those.

WP:F7 B says the following: "Non-free images or media from a commercial source (e.g. Associated Press, Getty Images), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary, are considered an invalid claim of fair use and fail the strict requirements of Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria; and may be deleted immediately.".

Pictures of deceased persons, in articles about that person, provided that ever obtaining a free close substitute is not reasonably likely., not every image from AP / Getty in general. To me, it seems that WP:ITN obituaries with photographs are already serious competitors to obituary headlines from online newspapers; using an AP / Getty image in that reeeally stretches the bounds of fair use.

We've been quoted in several mainstream publications→ notability is not inherited; a quote is always a passing mention, failing (3)
we are the industry's most read news source in the world (over 1 million different annual users)→ while it makes it more likely that someone else will have written about you, we need the actual source; a mere listing of news sources by readership would fail (3)
we [are cited in Wikipedia articles]→ it only means Wikipedia editors consider your articles to be reliable sources (at least some of them for some claims), but that is not correlated with notability - many local newspapers with low circulation are as reliable as journalism can be but not notable; on the other end of the scale, the Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a very notable historical document but absolutely unreliable

For the notability of a draft about a film director that I am working on, it was suggested that I add the notability of the films directed. One of the films premiered at the most prestigious film awards in Russia and won multiple awards, however not all of the awards went to the director specifically (for example best cinematography would go to the cinematographer of the film, not the director). My question is how would I properly structure the "awards" section for the film director? many thanks.

I have never contributed to Wikipedia in any way for many reasons, one being time constraints. I will, though, have some more time available in the near future. I would like to translate many of Wikipedia's excellent pages (especially science related) from English to Afrikaans, where the Afrikaans page is non-existent or only a seed page. Two questions (1) Is this normally done, i.e. just translating from one language to another (because I notice that French and English Wiki pages often differ much in content). (2) If simple translation is allowed/encouraged, where do I start? 105.225.129.69 ( talk) 18:34, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi team,
I am new to Wikipedia, only created one article and did changes to a few others. I am having a hard time trying to understand what is wrong with this proposal for AQUIRIS game studio page draft:
I got the following observation by a mod: The draft is put together from passing mentions of the company. Many sources do not mention the company at all and the sources often do not fit the written text.
All the sources mention AQUIRIS, also I don't know what "the sources often do not fit the written text" means.
Could you assist /orient me on this please?
Best,

Hello,
I am a new comer to creating and editing Wikipedia pages. however i have spent maybe hours combing through the site for interesting information. In 2021 a family member of mine died. And he had a huge effect on Alaska, however he lacks a Wikipedia page to him. And i promised myself at his funeral that i would not let such an injustice stand. And so i stand here today asking with much respect that anyone who is interested help me make a Wikipedia page to the late Chief of Ruby. AlaskanBorn ( talk) 06:15, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
AlaskaBorn I am guessing that your intention is to create an article about First Traditional Chief Donald Honea, Sr. of Ruby, Alaska. As pointed out above, this would only be plausible if people have published articles in newspapers or on websites about Honea. Only if you are sure you have those items to use as references should you attempt this task. A Google search on "Donald Honea, Sr" did yield several obituaries, but this may not be enough to justify an article. As an alternative, consider adding content about the Native American presence to the History section of Ruby, Alaska. David notMD ( talk) 10:13, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Hi. I'm a Highschool senior. As a senior we were tasked with doing a extensive project that required a thirty minuet presentation. I decided to do my project on a family friend, who has gotten very famous, and has even got himself a exhibit in the Smithsonian Museum. The project went very well. I ended up interviewing him for a hour. Here's the question. I wanted to pay him back for all of the help he has given me. so when I looked at his article on Wikipedia I noticed that it was severely out of date. I would love to update his article to include his most recent achievements with his help, but I don't know if I'm qualified to do so.

The website is the towns primary website and has been in existence since 1989 providing local tourism and business information, history, local news, what's on guide etc. Could someone advise the likely reason as to why the site is being removed as I see no difference between bridlington.net and other sites performing the same functionality listed within wikpedia for example wikipedia pages for Morecambe, Scarborough, Norfolk, Wales and I am sure many more.
Any help to understand why the editor for the Bridlington page is choosing to remove links to sites with content which seems acceptable on other pages would be most appreciated.

I almost exclusively used used references from the scientific literature or from media outlets not associated with the company (mostly to support facts about business issues), with only one reference from a company annual report.

I found an egregious error in a French-language Wikipedia article, so I left a message on the talk page. It was made clear to me that I needed to communicate in French, so I translated the message and reposted it. It's been two weeks and I haven't heard anything back. The question is: is it kosher to edit a foreign-language wiki? Note this doesn't regard the language or a translation, it's a matter of fact. The info box for the article about a novel incorrectly lists the name the author used as a working title, not the title it was actually published under.
There's also an error in the body of the article. They use the French phrase "pepites d'dor" (gold nuggets) which definitely should be "mineral d'or" (gold ore). The novel was originally published in English, so the editor was basing their plot summary off a translated edition, so I figured that might be a problem, so I included that information in my original message, but intend to let it go at that. Is that correct behavior, or should I edit that too (if editing is appropriate at all)? -- Pete Best Beatles ( talk) 19:37, 23 May 2022 (UTC)
I'm new to Wikipedia, and am trying to understand the consensus on ranking people and works.
Every now and then I stumble across Wikipedia articles involving science and mathematics where it is said: "The work A is the greatest work of X" or "The work A is one of the top 3 greatest works of X". Here X can be a person (e.g. "John Doe") or X can be a domain (e.g. "biology").
I personally find rankings of "greatness" unhelpful as it is conveys no useful information to me. Great in what sense and to whom? It is subjective and vague to me.
If I change perspectives, and ask myself, why do people write such statements? Maybe what they mean is:
I'm aware of WP:NPOV and WP:WEASEL. However, it is not clear to me what the consensus on rankings are, when it is sourced. Can anybody be an authority on "greatness"? I have a very strong opinion on the unhelpfulness of "greatest" type of statements, but it unclear to me what the consensus is.

Hello everyone,
I spotted that there's been a recent vandalism problem at Goodfellas (presumably triggered by the news of Ray Liotta's death) that led to the page being semi-protected - while looking through the article's history, I noticed that some of the edits reverting the vandalism were from an IP user who included racial slurs in their edit summaries aimed at the vandals (e.g. this diff: https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Goodfellas&oldid=1090062105). This is clearly unacceptable and in violation of Wikipedia's policies, but I'm not a regular editor and don't really know what, if anything, can be done about it. Is this something that can be removed? Is this something that community consensus says should be removed, even if doing so is technically possible, or should it be left up? (The IP in question seems to have already been banned for their racism, so hopefully the problem won't recur, at least). Any advice would be greatly appreciated - thanks in advance!

Hello, I’m a COI editor for Fitness Blender, which was recently reviewed and accepted and moved into article space. Then nominated at AFD shortly after. I’ve read the WP:GNG guidelines thoroughly and I’m a bit perplexed that this article was nominated for deletion. Here’s WP:SIGCOV by independent reporters in this Wall Street Journal article about the company, this Seattle Times article about the company, a more than passing mention in the New York Times, this Insider article about the company, this KING5 article about the company, this Seattle Met article about the company, this Paste Magazine article about the company, among others. These are not press releases. I understand that people don’t like companies using Wikipedia for promotion, but I feel like these sources are being overlooked in this discussion. The nominator thinks because some of these have quotes from the founders, that they are interviews, and thus should not count. But these are not Q&As and nothing I can see in WP:INTERVIEW states that an article with quotes from the subject throughout cannot be used for WP:GNG. The article was kept thin to avoid being promotional, but I do think the company is notable given the sources linked above. Am I missing something about notability guidelines? Just looking for some help or guidance. Thanks. ButtercupBaleen ( talk) 16:31, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
I have been advised, when editing an existing article which consistently avoids the use of citation templates, that I should not change a citation I'm modifying to use a citation template without first oobtaining consensus. Is that really the case?
To be clear, I'm not offering to go through the article and change all the citations to templates, but it seems to me that using a template offers important advantages. I would likely avoid fixing citations if I couldn't use a template. FWIW, I do all my Wiki edits with the "traditional" editor rather than the visual editor.

to put it very concisely: UTC is "co-ordinated universal time". It does not belong to any country nor to any poles. Also, UTC does not have daylight saving mode, so it never changes and remains the same throughout the year. So, it can act neutrally (not belonging to any country) — nobody gets disappointed, and it is a good "fixed" point of reference for other countries/time zones (as UTC is same all the year). —usernamekiran (talk) 19:03, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello, our company name is NFTi Emporium and we recently put our page in wikipedia.
However after a short period of time it was found out that is was proposed for a deletion,
we were very confused why it was, later we found out if was by the person @Zippybonzo
We contacted with this user what the issues were, then the user stated that the issues were
the following
- There was a source that does not count as a source, which is a twitter link.
- There was no user declaration made that who wrote this wikipedia page is getting
paid by the company NFTi Emporium. /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Paid-contribution_disclosure
In response the twitter source has been deleted.
And the user who wrote that is Ekcs27 the disclosure has been made.
So everything has been sorted out accordingly.
We now ask can the deletion message on the page now been removed after appropriate actions have
been taken and things have been amended.

Hello! I have a friend who was involved in criminal case back in 2016 that was regionally notable (covered by about 20 media outlets).
To make more of a long story short, the State's version of events was inaccurate and there was significant police misconduct that directly influenced the conviction. This didn't come out until after (the DA withheld evidence), and he tried to appeal, and though he was told he had grounds to appeal, it would only have set him back to square one, not thrown the case out, as it should have. His family, at that point, had endured quite a bit already, so another two years of it seemed cruel and he elected not to. Sadly, our system is a business that's predicated on the irrational pursuit of convictions rather than the objective pursuit of the truth. This has harmed countless people and their families over the years.
Without getting into a ton of detail in this question, he has extensive evidence that the State's version was inaccurate, even a recent report from a private investigator. He also approached the news outlets who covered the case, and, to date, 15 have removed their content after seeing the evidence of what actually did and didn't occur, including a few larger ones. In fact, in response partly due to his case, a larger one recently debuted an initiative where they allow people the opportunity to have outdated articles removed to help them in moving on with their lives—so, some good is coming from his situation.
Why I'm reaching out on his behalf is there are a handful of news outlets remaining that are being stubborn and mean. He’s only ever reached out politely and respectfully, but they refuse to look at the evidence he has, which is an extreme breach of the journalistic code of ethics. And that's why it got me thinking about Wikipedia. His case was an historical event, and Wikipedia would be a great way to get the truth out there, especially since Wikipedia ranks high in search engines. It would be a way for him to counteract the fake news, and it would be a massive blessing and help to his family as the fake news has been highly damaging socially, economically, and personally.
The purpose of the Wikipedia page would simply be to display the truth and that the State's version is false and has always been false. So, if a potential employer, or, say, his child's parents were to stumble upon his name online, they would at least have some correct information to counteract the false stuff. Please let me know how to get started on this if It’s even possible. Thanks so much!

I somewhat frequently have a bit of an issue where I would like to have a wikitable with some notes in it. I can use Template:efn and Template:notelist, but notelist collects all notes that occur before it in the page, which is sometimes undesirable. It even seems to ignore reference groups. As an example
Lorem ipsum{{efn|dolor sit amit{{refn|{{harvcoltxt|Syed|1998|pages=19-20}}}}}} == Table == {| class = "wikitable" ! consectetur adipiscing elit{{efn|group="table"|sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua<ref>{{harvcoltxt|Syed|1998|pages=48-49}}</ref>}} |} {{notelist|group="table"}} == Notes == {{notelist}} == References == {{reflist}}
This above puts both notes in the first notelist, but I want only notes in the table
group to be put in that notelist.
The other thing I've tried is to use the references
html.
Lorem ipsum{{efn|dolor sit amit}} == Table == {| class = "wikitable" ! consectetur adipiscing elit<ref name="note2" group="table"/> |} <references group="table"> <ref name="note2" group="table">sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua{{refn|{{harvcoltxt|Syed|1998|pages=48-49}}}}</ref> |} </references> == Notes == {{notelist}} == References == {{reflist}}
This fixes the above problem, but introduces some new ones. The citation disappears and the group forces the note to be called "table 1", which I'd like for it to not be. I've tried a few more minor variations on the above two, but I've not been able to get the desired outcome.

@ AquitaneHungerForce The different styles of numbering are an intentional feature of the notes templates, so that they are visually distinct and easy to seperate from references which are denoted by numbers. If you want to have the notes use numbers like the references then you can use {{ Refn}} instead, which does accept arbitrary group names. Try the following:

I recently purchased Woven Jacquard Silk Portrait panel of George Washington at a charity auction. The panel has documented estate provenance. The panel was made in Lyon, France in 1856. From what I've learned on line, there is one in the Smithsonian and one at the MET. There are no articles in Wikipedia on this panel. I don't know how many were produced in France, or how it got to America (or when). It would be really cool to create a wikipedia arctic on this. What do you think?

A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.So, assemble a list of reliable sources that devote significant coverage to the weaving. If you can find three to five of those sources, then you can start writing an article draft. Without such coverage, it is not possible to write an acceptable article. In addition, there is the issue of your Conflict of interest as an owner of one of these weavings. If you manage to produce a compehensive article about this weaving, it could plausibly increase the value of your weaving. You need to openly disclose your conflict of interest (as you have commendably done here), and defer to experienced editors who do not have a COI. Cullen328 ( talk) 01:14, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello!
General editing question. A company has rebranded, and the Wikipedia document still references the previous brand name - whilst the document references the new, and in the infobox references the old brand name as "formerly". My assumption is that this document title (and reference URL) won't change, unless there is substantial need/cause for further disambiguation amongst other namesakes. Am I correct in this assumption? This is the article in question: Proton Technologies - I saw the question raised in the contrib notes and this got me thinking as I can't see any direct guidance on this.

The article Dichotomy is supposedly about dichotomy in logic, yet contains a slew of example from outside logic. I'd like to remove the lot of them, and if someone wishes to reuse those in a different article, then that's great. However, if the article is to be limited to logic, then perhaps it could be retitled something like Dichotomy in logic, or Dichotomy (Logic)? Also, one of the Categories to which it has been assigned is Greek words and phrases, but Dichotomy is not a Greek word, it is a word with Greek etymology. In fact, the entire Category suffers from this confusion, as it is a hodgepodge of Greek words, words that are same in both languages, English words with Greek roots, and English translations of Greek phrases. I'd like to delete at least all the English words, unless 'close enuf' is what to aim for. Knoitalno ( talk) 18:46, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

We all know about the ongoing defamation trial between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. Search up Depp and everything that comes up is Depp v Heard. Same thing when searching up Heard. I just think for the time of the trial (until sentencing date and as long as the word "Depp" is associated most with Depp v Heard and the word "Heard" is also associated most with Depp v Heard) both Depp and Heard should redirect to Depp v Heard, as most searchers will be looking for the trial and scandal and not Johnny Depp's life and film career or the super basic word heard that everybody knows the definition of usually. -- Otis the Texan ( talk) 03:54, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

I look up celebrities on Wikipedia all the time. In the “early years” section, the celebrity’s parents are always listed. I just now looked up Alvin Ailey after watching a PBS documentary on his life, and was surprised to see that his mother’s name was not included in his early years description. Her presence was mentioned, but her name was omitted. She was a very important figure throughout his life and the absence of her actual name seems terribly disrespectful. I honestly can’t think of why, when among all the many celebrity entries I’ve read on Wikipedia the parents are named, this oversight of Alvin Ailey’s mother’s name has happened.
Can someone please look into it and correct the exclusion? They both deserve better.

I am confused by the double standard in creating new articles on Wikipedia.
I created Nano Energy based on hundreds of articles on Wikipedia for similar journals with the same set of references, but it was moved to draft. I raised the concern to the person who rejected it to restore it.
I re-submitted Draft:Exaly (I had no contribution to it) which already had several reliable and independent references (mostly from universities and academics), and it was rejected twice. I can give you tons of examples of similar articles on Wikipedia with much fewer independent references.
I understand that each reviewer/administrator interprets the requirements differently, but it is not justified to reject something when there are similar articles on Wikipedia. It is like the Common law in the justice system.
What is the strategy of Wikipedia for having a uniform encyclopedia?
I wanted to create the articles for missing journals, but I know I will encounter the same problem. MojoDiJi ( talk) 12:49, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

So, yeah. It isnt really that good of an idea to have a page for the Abyssinian Guinea pig itself, since Guinea pig breeds are quite similar to each other. The reasons to why are below.
The only main difference is really just the Guinea pig’s coat type. Each breed is the same size and body shape, all of them have a large variation of coat colors, and lastly, each one has the same personality, and really only varies by the individual Guinea Pig that you own.
In addition, the Abyssinian Guinea pig isn’t really a special breed itself, given that each breed of Guinea pig is diverse towards the type of coat they have. The only distinguishing feature they really have is spiky and frizzy hair that looks kind of messy.
That’s all I really have to say for why there shouldn’t be a page for Abyssinian Guinea pig. BoiBoi303 ( talk) 13:25, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

On March 21, 2022, after a decisive victory, (then) college basketball player, Bennedict Mathurin, was accused of groping a cheerleader from the opposing team. This was captured in a viral video and widely reported by a variety of news outlets including the Associated Press and ESPN ( https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/33579541/arizona-wildcats-bennedict-mathurin-says-reached-tcu-video-shows-possible-contact-horned-frogs-dancer).
I have been trying to work some kind of reference to these allegations into Mathurin’s page, but I have faced a great deal of resistance. I am not stuck on the actual words I used. I just feel like this information should be reported upon in some fashion. I feel like the administrator is misusing procedural recommendations to bury any reference to this incident.

Am I doing something wrong?
After some mild mannered and kindly "robot" suggested that I switch to some new "skin" -- (I do not even really understand what a "skin" is, ... in this context!) -- eventually I started noticing that, on all "Talk:" pages, the TOC ("Table of contents") was missing.
Then (today iirc) I started noticing that, ... the same thing was happening in "article" space. NO Tables of contents!
Just on a wild GUESS, I tried going back to my " Preferences", and changing my "SKIN", from "Vector (2022)" ... << (back) >> ... to "Vector legacy (2010)".
All of a sudden, my TOCs resumed working as they usually do! ... and as they have been working -- just fine! -- for years.
