While not new to Wikipedia (16-year editor), I am new to the situation I just stumbled upon while doing unrelated research. There is an article on a low traffic topic (so Talk page traffic is sparse) that is written from a strongly biased perspective. It's weakly sourced and laced with subtle untruths and false assertions. Most of the content probably falls into the category of original research, much of it found no where else on the Internet. I'm happy to take on repairing it (it's notable and should remain), but will require a vast remodeling to be appropriate. I'd estimate at least 75% of the content, including entire sections, needs to go. I question the inclusion of the nonprofit linked prominently to the article that should be focused on the historical nature of the subject matter instead of the nonprofit's agenda. My guess is they created the article. The original author is no longer a valid user. I'm an unbiased party and I understand the underlying motivation for the bias, but I need some guidance on how to proceed.
Can ya lend me some advice?

Dears,
My question is regarding Draft:Sherief Reda
I have read the guidelines on the use of Wikipedia:External_links and made the change that any external link resides in the references section, not in the body of the text.
I have also read the guidelines in WP:SCOIC regarding complying with COI disclosure. I was wondering how can I resolve this issue? I tried my best to comply with the neutrality point of view of Wikipedia and the Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons guidelines.
May I receive some help on how to address this issue?

Hello, I use Citation Hunt as a way of contributing to Wikipedia so following "citation needed" tags around is the main way I edit at the moment.
Sometimes, a citation needed tag appears at the end of a sentence, and that sentence also links to an article about the subject of the sentence. How much redundancy is helpful here? I've added lots of citations as well as removed a few "citation needed" tags that seemed unecessary. This comes up often enough that I wanted to ask if there was a broader policy to follow.
I've read through /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Citation_needed as well as the linked articles about Citation overkill and Citation underkill and I'm still not sure if there is a useful general policy or if it depends on the situation.
I can imagine that it is easier to deal with pages changing over time if the citations are everywhere -- ie, more redundancy is helpful, especially in cases where the original article might be subject to deletion, or the reference to it might be eliminated.
On the other hand, choosing just one citation to reference e.g. the existence of something that has its own Wikipedia page is somewhat challenging, as well as managing the ongoing relationship between a subject and references to it in other articles. So I can also imagine that it is easier to deal with pages changing over time if the references are only on the main subject page instead of needing to be changed and updated anywhere and everywhere the topic comes up.
Is it a judgment call, or is there general policy around this?
Thanks!

Is there a specified/recommended size limit for talk page archives? According to Help:Archiving a talk page, the talk page needs to reach 75 KB to be considered for archiving (or have multiple resolved/stale conversations). But what about the archives themselves? Is there a size limit before starting another archive?
As a specific and recent example, I created Archive 4 for Talk:Chupacabra due to an extensive backlog of resolved/stale conversations. Archive 1 is currently 69 KB, Archive 2 is currently 42 KB, Archive 3 is 57 KB, and Archive 4 is 14 KB. While I already created Archive 4, is there a recommended KB value that needs to be reached before starting the next archive folder? If so, is there any value in editing these archives to "fill up" the oldest to a certain size value (so take the oldest material from Archive 2 and add to Archive 1 until it reaches, say, 75 KB; and so on with each subsequent archive).
Does what I'm asking make any sense? Thanks in advance for any help and feedback. TNstingray ( talk) 14:10, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello,
I was trying to create an article about an academical NFT project with educational intention that is called TID hNFT Research Institute. There were various articles about the topic that I added as references.
Unfortunately Wikipedia consider that project non notable and my intention as an intention of promotion of a company or something. TID is not even a company. On the other hand I see that on Wikipedia you can find articles of many other NFT companies that could be considered promotional.
So I don´t understand how Wikipedia considers that something is an act of promotion and something it isn´t.
My experience with wikipedia until now is not good and I feel that the Wikipedia community is not hospitable to new users.

I just started editing and am a little confused about how to determine what makes sense when it comes to conciseness and citations for media, like a video game. I was editing the Wikipedia for the video game Flushed Away, and there is a large section devoted to plot with no citations. It all seems to be original work. But, the original writer also seemed to just recount the events of the game. Should this plot section be deleted? I found YouTube let's plays of the game, which seem to match up with the summary. Would those videos work as a citation? Pizzarush ( talk) 03:21, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
do not need to be sourced with in-line citations, as it is generally assumed that the work itself is the primary source for the plot summary, but if sourcing is available it is encouraged. Don't use YouTube videos as sources, as there are issues with copyrights, especially if they're not from the game developer's account. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 04:07, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

I know about the policy on self-published sources, but I cannot find anything that covers the policy on using autobiographies written by the subject in question that is obviously not me. All I could find was the policy on using autobiographies that you have produced yourself. Does anyone have any knowledge on this, because I have an article that I am planning on promoting to FA status, and a good chunk of the subject's early life and career is based on an autobiography that he co-wrote with someone else.

I've been using Wikipedia since it started, and it's clearly gone through major changes over the last couple of decades. One thing that I've noticed is the trend to give political articles from all sides a more emotional tone, often revealing the party to which the author is affiliated. My question is: Is Wikipedia meant to provide facts like actual encyclopedias, or is it meant to have more of an entertainment factor to it? The question might sound facetious, but that is not intended in any way. I just often notice parts of articles based on opinion alone. It's just good to know the take, because I prefer to read unbiased articles. Anything else should be relegated to opinion pages or tabloids. Thanks. Vox Merus ( talk) 15:45, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi IP editor. I concur with the comments above that there would be no reason to have a separate article on synthetic nicotine. However, I was surprised to find that our article on nicotine doesn't have a section on its chemical synthesis, only its biosynthesis. Per WP:Manual_of_Style/Chemistry/Chemicals#Preparation we usually have an account of the first synthesis of a compound. In this case, that might be for racemic and/or chiral samples. We would also describe the industrial synthesis if relevant. Do you happen to have citations for any/all of these, to save me time looking? If so, I will happily write something appropriate for the article. Mike Turnbull ( talk) 12:35, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi, my recent change to an article was reverted. Does Wikipedia not use ISO 31/XI typesetting in which operators are written in roman font? The "d" is an operator and therefore should not be italic. See this explanation under section 2.2, point 6.

Some months ago I noticed some information on exercise in the ADHD article which conflicts with the recent Federation of ADHD International Consensus Statement (which I believe is a tertiary or even, er, quarternary? source). As far as I can tell it should pretty much overrule any other sources that predate it.
I raised this on the ADHD talk page and was encouraged to make the necessary changes myself. However, I have been struggling to make time for it due to general life chaos (having ADHD myself), and as I've never edited a page before I feel like I'd need to take a lot of time over it, reading up on how to write things and cite things etc. so I don't get yelled at lol. And at the moment I barely have the headspace to think.
Is there someone who would be willing to take it on instead or, failing that, help me make sure I get it right and up to Wikipedia standards? It shouldn't actually be that big of a job - the Wiki article makes claims about how exercise helps ADHD but the consensus statement says that no evidence has been found supporting a significant effect of exercise on ADHD, once you correct for publication bias. Just not sure how to go about it. (Also I haven't checked if the sources used in the Wiki article are mentioned in the consensus statement.) RapturousRatling ( talk) 15:09, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

Pyrrho the Skipper, That was a very non-judgmental assessment. I got a better understanding of your ability to talk facts instead of opinion. And this is not an attack but merely pointing out that dishing opinion even if not about the people involved casts a bad light on your belief in a positive environment. I see it all the time in Craigslist, people hiring to have created an article for them. And it does not help to know from what i have read that WP allows administrators, senior system experience contributors, to do such work as long as they establish separating themselves from the areas that they edit. 2603:8000:D300:D0F:D5D:8295:289E:24F5 ( talk) 22:37, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello. Maybe someone can help me troubleshoot. I made a few edits to Bobby Shmurda, Rowdy Rebel, and 6ix9ine's biographies. Namely, that they are rappers who are also convicted felons in the lead of their Wikipedia pages. I saw Martin Shkreli's profile (that he was a hedge fund manager convicted of misappropriating the funds of his clients and, thus, a convicted felon) and decided to copy that style of writing. After a few days, these edits were reverted with two of the reversions coming from an account that justified the reversions by writing 'not an occupation' — in reference to their felony convictions.
It is true that being a felon is 'not an occupation'. But if that is true, shouldn't people like Andrew Fastow, Martin Shkreli, Elizabeth Holmes, have their respective crimes taken out of their leads? I didn't want to revert the edits made to my edits (and start an edit war) so I decided to come here, to the teahouse, to get an education on the relationship between a person, their crime, and how that crime is displayed on their Wikipedia page. Thanks for any help you can proffer.

But I want to know, concretely, why there is an incongruity between ...is "because that's how Wikipedia is". Even with core areas of policy, such as verifiability, there are thousands of articles which don't conform. For most questions such as yours that come up, there is no easy way to check if the question has been debated in general; and even if it has, and a consensus reached, there may be hundreds or thousands of editors working in the same area who are unaware of it. Obviously consistency is a laudable aim, and most editors will agree that it is desirable, but not many of us are willing to spend much effort on it. Probably the best place to discuss concerns such as yours are on the talk page of a relevant WikiProject, (maybe WT:BIOGRAPHY - in fact, if you look through its archives, you may find relevant discussions).

A verified social media account of an article subject saying about themselves something along the lines of "today is my 50th birthday" may fall under self-published sources for purposes of reporting a full date of birth. It may be usable if there is no reason to doubt it.

Hi! I'm a very new editor and I've run into an issue that I can't really find a consensus on. For an article, I'd like to find a citation for a major event in the history of the game. The problem is that I can only find one official source on the event, a Discord post from the game's lead community manager. The game was never very big, and this event occurred some time after development was stopped and the game was removed from Steam, so I am unable to find any news articles relating to the topic. I understand this is very much a edge case, but would it be better to add this as a citation or to leave the statement uncited?

Hello from german wikipedia! For the german wikipedia I wrote some script to identify dead interwiki links, now after 2 month almost all those "redlinks" are gone. So maybe the english wikipedia (or others) are interested in such a list. Currently I find 3,706,692 interwiki links to 401 wikis and there are 129,018 "redlinks" in 39,420 articles (I did not check namespace draft). So 3.5 % of those interwiki links are not working, in german wikipedia we had about 3 % such dead links, so there is no big difference. If you are interested, I can create it. -- Wurgl ( talk) 07:41, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

Re: Wiki list "Friends Seminary Notable Graduates." First let me say that I'm 84. and happy when my toaster works. This is whom I tried to add to the aforementioned list, my late daughter, Christiana Ley Parker, author, equestrian, humanitarian. [ https://www.christianaparker.org The website mentioned is my privately funded charitable entity in her memory. Additionally, I endowed her non-sectarian "Christiana Ley Parker '92 Humanitarian Award" at Friends Seminary; which, in perpetuity, has and will provide a yearly grant to that person, as chosen by the school, "Who went their own oft-times lonely way with goodness and grace" as she did. Chris was the co-author with me of "Camp Off The Wall" and "A Horse In New York" published by Avon, combining our initials as CaM Parker. It was our way of spending time together during school holidays or waiting for camp, when her ongoing efforts to save the world and every horse in it allowed. The listing is not all that important I suppose, to any save me, but it would be nice. Be and stay well. Mtnpkr821 ( talk) 22:28, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi. I would like to ask if it is possible for me to create and publish a wikipedia page for a past company called Oilphase (Oilphase Sampling Services Ltd., to be precise). It could link to the reference of "Oilphase" on this other company's page ( /info/en/?search=Schlumberger). I only ask as if Wikipedia has a policy of not publishing pages for past companies or anything like that, since if it does then I would rather not waste my time. Otherwise, I will try to compose something of value. Oilphase was/is notable in the oil & gas industry for revolutionizing bottom-hole sampling technology in the mid-90's in North Sea oilfields. It then soon grew and oil & gas companies around the world were using their tools in their wells. The technology, single-phase sampling, has since been adopted by several other service companies (Halliburton, Baker Hughes, etc).

the only UK based security association established to acknowledge, support and represent the front-line security workers- "acknowledge" means nothing, "support" is vague (and not detailed in the body of the article), and there is a word for associations that "represent" workers, it’s "union".
IPSA's membership consists of security individuals and companies that resonate with the association's values and beliefs- as opposed to other associations that gather aliens and plants that disagree with the association’s values and beliefs?
IPSA is a courageous body of professional, experienced, and influential members of the security industry that are working together- similarly: as opposed to cowardly, sloppy, unexperienced and obscure members of the industry? As opposed to sabotaging one another?

Hello!
I am a journalist who covers the music scene for a few of the larger publications. I decided to write an article about one of the bands I have covered in the past. It's not original research, just news reporting. I wasn't asked or paid to write the Wikipedia article, nor am I part of the band's management or PR team, I just wanted to write about the band. Some of the sources are my own writing, I am also listed as a source on others band's articles (not ones I wrote, just cited as a source) because the publications I work for are considered "reliable sources" since everything is vetted for accuracy by my editor. Like I said, I wasn't asked or paid by the band, I have just covered them. I don't have any kind of relationship with them. Is this a conflict of interest? And, if so, what is the appropriate way to declare it? CorinneWestbrook ( talk) 15:57, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

This is both a rant and a question about the Trams in Ostrava article.
A rollbacker and a page mover admin completely ignored my contribution on the article. Their argument on my talk page was that the article wouldn't pass WP:V. I read about WP:V and admittedly, there wasn't many references to the article, and as a beginner, I was 1. practising my articles whilst openly contributing 2. providing in depth translations and 3. working on references. But wouldn't millions of articles on Wikipedia currently not pass WP:V?
For example, the article now reads more succinctly (congratulations to the editor), but there's no information on steam trams that has been completely rubbed out. Surely not every sentence on Wikipedia has to have a corresponding reference? I find it unlikely that this would be possible.
I risk highlighting Trams in Košice article for the same reason; yet there are a few books available on it. While I can speak a bit of Czech, Slovak is a little different; I don't understand some words or context to be able to cite the book properly. Kmlbon ( talk) 07:21, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

We have lots 'WikiProjects' here, which are simply groups of editors who come together to work on specific topics. So, in my case I'd visit WikiProject Mountains of the Alps. They have a table of all relevant articles there (3,097 of them), and all listed by importance and by their quality (=completeness). To have the greatest impact, I might choose to look at all the 'High' Importance articles that are really short (we call them stubs). The table shows me there are currently 22 of them. By clicking the number in the cell, I get list of those articles, and can visit each in turn to see whether I have anything I could add to them from my reference books. I can't base what I write on my own personal experience of them, and must be able to cite published books or other reliable online sources to support everything I want to add. I suspect you don't have the same interests as me, so why not visit the full list of Projects. Most WikiPrtojects have similarly helpful Article Assessment Tables, and I hope you might find one that inspires you to edit. I hope this helps a bit.

"If multiple independent reliable sources state differing years or dates of birth in conflict, the consensus is to include all birth dates/years for which a reliable source exists, clearly noting discrepancies. In this situation, editors must not include only one date/year which they consider "most likely", or include merely a single date from one of two or more reliable sources. Original research must not be used to extrapolate the date of birth."HTH, -- DoubleGrazing ( talk) 13:41, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
I was reading about Jose Rizal and i wanted to make a section called Rizal Law. I searched for my books and found this one book my teacher gave me, and i found some information. The information reads "Rizal Law, Also known as RA 1425, mandates the study of Rizal's life and works. This Republic Act calls for an increased sense of nationalism from the Filipinos during a time of a dwindling Filipino identity.

Is there any Wikipedia guideline on advertising being discussed in articles that are not primarily about them? I searched a bit but all I really found was policies against articles that are written like advertisements. Although, it's a blurry line, so maybe those apply!
I just read the article Joker Stairs which mentions some fast food ad that was set there, listing the ad's slogan. It often happens with songs: What Have They Done to My Song Ma mentions three ads that used the song, listing the mangled lyrics in each case. I'm sure the creatives behind these throwaway ads are thrilled to have them immortalised on Wikipedia but I don't see how they can be considered notable. The ads didn't matter enough to get their own articles. If licensing a song for a while is enough for your otherwise unrelated slogan to become a notable fact about that song on Wikipedia forever, well, that's a great deal.

@Tenryuu I am sure I am not typing this response in the right part of this thread (edit? page?), but I think this is where I should have put this topic.
This question has to do with not knowing the real data that should go in the edit I would make.
Here I do not know where the actual data can be found.
Do I replace the data with something else like "??? ?"
The data is not the data in the source. There is nowhere to find the data online. I am waiting on an email back from the Division of Highways.
Before I go ask this in the other topic, since this is related but different would you like me copy paste this question there?

Oversimplified summary of HTTP/HTTPS technology and history
|
---|
Long ago, many internet pages used HTTP, a protocol to exchange data between a server (here, whoever controls geoview.info) and a client (your web browser). That data was sent "in clear", with no encryption, which allowed multiple nefarious actors to do bad stuff (for instance, if I control the internet traffic between the server and the client, I can change the page’s content, read whatever you send etc.; in some instances, internet service providers put in ads to the top of their customer’s web requests). A new protocol, HTTPS, was developed to solve that issue - the server would encrypt and sign the data it sends to the client, so that the client has some confidence that nobody has tampered with the content of the page. HTTPS was better than HTTP to use but it’s a bit harder to set up, there’s a significant technical and political problem of how the client knows to decrypt the result, and webmasters are lazy (reminder, this is a very simplified summary). Browsers decided to put increasingly dire warnings when displaying pages that are not fully-HTTPS; including pages that are "self-signed" (i.e. the page is HTTPS, but you are not sure who did the encryption - probably the server but you cannot be sure) or that include non-HTTPS elements (for instance, if my page includes maps from Google etc. I might elect to direct your browser to look up those on your own). In the case of that page, the root page itself is HTTPS, but it calls some resources (typically images from other websites) over HTTP. Hence your browser is complaining that all the risks associated with insecure HTTP are still present. The fact that your browser is screaming is more a choice from the browser vendor (to push those do-nothing webmasters to move on to full-HTTPS already) than a function of the real security risk. |
Hey there,
I'm attempting to create an article for the Southworth Library, in Dartmouth MA. There's already another article titled 'Southworth Library,' so I made sure to type 'Dartmouth Massachusetts,' in brackets next to the name Southworth. However, even though this article is currently a draft. I was wondering how to put a link to the other Southworth Library akin to what's occurring in the Kevin Malone article. Like whether its a simple copy and paste - or if it requires additional formatting.

Hi,
I have been working on this article for a long time already Draft:Renderforest. I have eliminated all the possible promotional parts, left purely informational text such as what products Renderforest offers and the history of their creation.
I once got rejected beacuse I inlcuded the pricing, regardless the fact that other companies such as Canva does that. (I don't know, should I feel hurt that others have the right to do that but not me : ( )
This time I got rejected because the article reminds the reviewer of a listicle, however I have been inspired by Picsart which literally states their history and the products they have.

Hi! New editor here. I have a question about the use of Twitter as a substantive citation for information on a subject. My first edit was on a writer's page, Claire Vaye Watkins. I wanted to add a section for her newest novel, similar to the sub-headings for her other books. There was a section on apparent abuse allegations that I thought was a little strange because it used a Tweet as its citation and seemed spurious. I removed this section, citing BLP standards, but it was re-added in another edit a few days later by the same editor who had initially added it. I'm not really sure what to do. I elided the allegation into the section on her most recent novel as it seemed most pertinent there, but I feel really strange about even keeping it at all. I'd really appreciate some help here as it seems like another editor might be acting in bad faith. Thank you! Somedays2you ( talk) 18:20, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

For months it has... bugged me how in Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor's article the "primary image"—the image that gets shown when you hover over the hyperlink, etc.—is his signature. Based on the Talk page there, that issue has been there for at least a year and a half by now. Thing is, I have compared Charles V's infobox with some other royals with not-so-linear primary images, and there seems to be no difference between them. Now I'm thinking maybe the issue is with his portrait, but figured that it's better to ask here first before I do anything drastic.

Over the years I've noticed that some British TV series which consist of 2 episodes, and occasionally 3 episodes, get added to IMDb and Wikipedia, as TV films when they aren't films, as the 2+ episodes, sometimes with episode titles too, and 2+ sets of credits suggest.
I've corrected quite a few 2 episode British productions on IMDB over the last few years (all of which I've forgotten, apart from the one I've nearly finished correcting on IMDB right now) by changing them from TV films to TV series along with moving all the credits to their respective episodes, and checking them along the way.
However I'm not sure if I should rename the articles about those British 2 episode TV series on Wikipedia too, from TV films to TV series which is what they actually are.
Should they be renamed from TV films to TV series, or are the guidelines about 2 episode TV series different on Wikipedia? Danstarr69 ( talk) 18:15, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
I've noticed this issue quite often, and think it could be a widespread bug on Wikipedia. Basically, at the time of writing, someone used a recently-published source to cite a claim, and in making the claim, said it was true "as of" then.
Fast forward a year or even a month (if the claim was made for that month), and now Wikipedia is possibly purveying false information! For example, if it said "As of August 2021", unless it's updated with a new source in September (which of course it never is), as soon as it is September, it's a claim that could be false, and definitely isn't verified. As soon as it is 2023, anything that said "As of 2022" and isn't updated, could be false, and isn't verified.
On the other hand, if editors were to say "By 2022" and "By August 2021", etc., all of this is avoided. It's true to eternity, or until updated. I'm posting this as a call to arms to editors to fix this pervasive issue, and also as a plea to stop propagating it. That is all. Noble Metalloid ( talk) 16:05, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

Morning everyone,
I work for an event management organisation who works closely with an NFP (ANZMHA, https://anzmh.asn.au). They're one of the main providers of professional development through conferences in Australia for mental health sector professionals. Their events host up to 400 professionals per event, providing them with 13-15 hours of CPD per person/event. Meaning they facilitate between 41,600 and 48,000 professional development hours to mental health professionals every year.
I'm wondering if that's notable enough? The problem is that the association behind it isn't really ever "in the spotlight", as the conferences themselves are what most people in the sector are aware of rather then the association (i.e. International Mental Health Conference, Stop Domestic Violence Conference, Indigenous Wellbeing Conference, etc.). Would it still be worthy of a Wikipedia article? If so, would I be able to create one (I work with them, and I realise you can't post articles about persons close to you).
Thanks for your help.

Hi! I'm trying to figure out how to keep images contained in subheadings, as the location of the images on the page I'm working on aren't corresponding to the section they belong to. I've looked at the Extended Image Syntax Page and the Help Images page in MediaWiki but it appears that vertical alignment commands only worked on frameless images? I was wondering if there was a way to make my images in thumbs float to the right, with the text being at the top and the next section not starting until after the image? One way I thought to do that was by just adding a lot of enters but I'm concerned that won't look the same across different devices? I did it for the first section just so you can get an idea of what I was trying for. Thank you so much! Stringbeans688 ( talk) 19:18, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
{{
clear}}
at the bottom of each section? That te,plate forces clear space before the next section and its related image displays. The amount of space is determined by the amount of overlap of the image above it. So you should get nice, neat alignment.

It all begins a month ago when I created my Wikipedia page. I don’t know much about Wikipedia at that time, even I think that only few users can edit Wikipedia articles. And then I searched for my town ( Kalakote) and seen that many points are missing in article. I edited it and try to add more information but I have a gut feeling that Wikipedia is going to reject it but it got accepted. Then I realised that anyone in Wikipedia can edit it. Than I did too many edits on that article, some got rejected whether some got accepted. User:Ohnoitsjamie helped a lot me to understand about Wikipedia editing. After that I edited some more articles. Then I try to create a Wikipedia page about Thermal Power Plant Kalakote. I really found it hard! Article also got rejected because of poor citations and copyright work. Now I decided to create a Wikipedia page with all references without copying. Then I created Casetoo. And real story began here! My article got accepted by Wikipedia, I was very happy that whole night, I literally told my all friends that I make an Wikipedia article, I also informed that person through Instagram story that you now have Wikipedia article, he also congrats me (you can find my Instagram account, it’s too easy!!, I have all proofs there). I then continue my contributions to Wikipedia and cross 2 million+ views in about 120 edits. Than a thought came to my mind whether I can create my own Wikipedia page. Without any research I rushed and make my own Wikipedia page. Now you all know what is going to happen, absolutely speedy deletion. My article got removed by User:Praxidicae. He didn’t just removed my article, but also drafted my old article about Casetoo by saying, more references needed. I added almost 15-17 more references and raise a request to not tondo anything with that article. I also apologise for my shameful act of self article, on that request. But after my request he got offended, and I agree as i did such act. But User:Praxidicae got offended in such a way that he removed all references from that page and put another speedy deletion strike with claim that I’m copying the content. When i asked reason about it, he put another speedy deletion strike by saying that I’m taking money or something like that.

Yeah, I did mistake but he should have warned me instead of deleting everything. It’ll lose new users interest on editing on Wikipedia! Now I have some questions
Q1) Does copyright in one article affect another?
Q2) Can Wikipedia senior editors can do wrong claims without any fear?
Q3) I read all notability guidelines of Wikipedia and Casetoo is here in every aspect, but now whenever I’m creating article about Casetoo it’s getting deleted by User:Praxidicae. What should I do now?
Q4) What should I have to do if someone is pointing wrong allegations on me about involvement in conflict?
Q5) Senior editors need to guide us or he can do anything with her choice?
Q6) Can a junior editor like User:Thegoravsharma can raise a complaint against rude behaviour and wrong intentions of senior editors like User:Praxidicae?

I recently submitted an article on a very old but recently revived religious viewpoint: Draft:Revelatory Theory of Atonement. It was promptly rejected because of NPOV problems. I can see that it was written with the point of view of someone wanting to support the view. However, I'm unclear as to how much I need to do to make the tone more neutral. I've done a superficial (I think) revision in which I replaced what were statements of fact with references to this being the theory's point of view on it. I'm not sure if that is sufficient or if it needs a rewrite almost as if it was an adversarial viewpoint, i.e. pointing out everywhere that alternate viewpoints disagree and why. That would seem to me to be taking the NPOV to the opposite ditch. But I'm uncertain where the middle of the road is. I've thought of just resubmitting it but that seems like it might be wasting some reviewer's time just to tell me "No, that's not it." I've also looked at other existing articles that have been flagged as having NPOV problems and I'm not sure I see it in them. I've read the available articles on what NPOV means and am still not sure if the article is still going to have a problem. Advice on how to better understand NPOV and what needs to be done to this article would be much appreciated. WikiMrBadger ( talk) 19:49, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello, please anyone I need reliable sources to make my own page for the first time. They ones I have tried creating in the past I end up submitting them for deletion to to the fact that information there is unsourced and not from reliable sources.

And yes I am writing about a specific topic and is not about myself it's about an actor who has received considerable coverable and appearances and also has played a role movie whereby thy real name is the title of the film...Anyways that all information I can give and please if you have reliable sources I would really appreciate thanks so much Uricdivine ( talk) 20:30, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Clear writing is not pedantry. You do not know me and you're packing a lot in there by inferring that I'm a comedian or acting in a superior fashion. I'm not an editor and don't intend to be one, but here's a simple solution: "Brian Annesley (or Anslowe), a wealthy Kentishman with three daughters, was an elderly former follower of Queen Elizabeth." Now if you think clear writing is pedantry, and that is a sentiment shared by other Wikipedia editors--well you can finish that sentence. I'm done; I won't respond anymore.

Some experts on reducing terrorism (mass shootings bombings etc) say the perps seek fame and one way to reduce their frequency is for society to not shout their name from every rooftop.

Gather thy greatness round, Arion! Stand in state,
As when the banqueting thrilled conscious—like a rose
Throughout its hundred leaves at that approach it knows
Of music in the bird—while Corinth grew one breast
A-throb for song and thee; nay, Periander pressed
The Methymnæan hand, and felt a king indeed, and guessed
How Phœbus' self might give that great mouth of the gods
Such a magnificence of song! The pillar nods,
Rocks roof, and trembles door, gigantic, post and jamb,
As harp and voice rend air—the shattering dithyramb!
So stand thou, and assume the robe that tingles yet
With triumph; strike the harp, whose every golden fret
Still smoulders with the flame, was late at fingers' end—
So, standing on the bench o' the ship, let voice expend
Thy soul; sing, unalloyed by meaner mode, thine own,
The Orthian lay; then leap from music's lofty throne;
Into the lowest surge make fearlessly thy launch!
Whatever storm may threat, some dolphin will be stanch!
Whatever roughness rage, some exquisite sea-thing
Will surely rise to save, will bear—palpitating—
One proud humility of love beneath its load—
Stem tide, part wave, till both roll on thy jewell'd road
Of triumph, and the grim o' the gulf grow wonder-white
I' the phosphorescent wake; and still the exquisite
Sea-thing stems on, saves still, palpitatingly thus,
Lands safe at length its load of love at Tænarus,
True woman-creature!

While not new to Wikipedia (16-year editor), I am new to the situation I just stumbled upon while doing unrelated research. There is an article on a low traffic topic (so Talk page traffic is sparse) that is written from a strongly biased perspective. It's weakly sourced and laced with subtle untruths and false assertions. Most of the content probably falls into the category of original research, much of it found no where else on the Internet. I'm happy to take on repairing it (it's notable and should remain), but will require a vast remodeling to be appropriate. I'd estimate at least 75% of the content, including entire sections, needs to go. I question the inclusion of the nonprofit linked prominently to the article that should be focused on the historical nature of the subject matter instead of the nonprofit's agenda. My guess is they created the article. The original author is no longer a valid user. I'm an unbiased party and I understand the underlying motivation for the bias, but I need some guidance on how to proceed.
Can ya lend me some advice?

Hello, I use Citation Hunt as a way of contributing to Wikipedia so following "citation needed" tags around is the main way I edit at the moment.
Sometimes, a citation needed tag appears at the end of a sentence, and that sentence also links to an article about the subject of the sentence. How much redundancy is helpful here? I've added lots of citations as well as removed a few "citation needed" tags that seemed unecessary. This comes up often enough that I wanted to ask if there was a broader policy to follow.
I've read through /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Citation_needed as well as the linked articles about Citation overkill and Citation underkill and I'm still not sure if there is a useful general policy or if it depends on the situation.
I can imagine that it is easier to deal with pages changing over time if the citations are everywhere -- ie, more redundancy is helpful, especially in cases where the original article might be subject to deletion, or the reference to it might be eliminated.
On the other hand, choosing just one citation to reference e.g. the existence of something that has its own Wikipedia page is somewhat challenging, as well as managing the ongoing relationship between a subject and references to it in other articles. So I can also imagine that it is easier to deal with pages changing over time if the references are only on the main subject page instead of needing to be changed and updated anywhere and everywhere the topic comes up.
Is it a judgment call, or is there general policy around this?
Thanks!

Is there a specified/recommended size limit for talk page archives? According to Help:Archiving a talk page, the talk page needs to reach 75 KB to be considered for archiving (or have multiple resolved/stale conversations). But what about the archives themselves? Is there a size limit before starting another archive?
As a specific and recent example, I created Archive 4 for Talk:Chupacabra due to an extensive backlog of resolved/stale conversations. Archive 1 is currently 69 KB, Archive 2 is currently 42 KB, Archive 3 is 57 KB, and Archive 4 is 14 KB. While I already created Archive 4, is there a recommended KB value that needs to be reached before starting the next archive folder? If so, is there any value in editing these archives to "fill up" the oldest to a certain size value (so take the oldest material from Archive 2 and add to Archive 1 until it reaches, say, 75 KB; and so on with each subsequent archive).
Does what I'm asking make any sense? Thanks in advance for any help and feedback. TNstingray ( talk) 14:10, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello,
I was trying to create an article about an academical NFT project with educational intention that is called TID hNFT Research Institute. There were various articles about the topic that I added as references.
Unfortunately Wikipedia consider that project non notable and my intention as an intention of promotion of a company or something. TID is not even a company. On the other hand I see that on Wikipedia you can find articles of many other NFT companies that could be considered promotional.
So I don´t understand how Wikipedia considers that something is an act of promotion and something it isn´t.
My experience with wikipedia until now is not good and I feel that the Wikipedia community is not hospitable to new users.

I just started editing and am a little confused about how to determine what makes sense when it comes to conciseness and citations for media, like a video game. I was editing the Wikipedia for the video game Flushed Away, and there is a large section devoted to plot with no citations. It all seems to be original work. But, the original writer also seemed to just recount the events of the game. Should this plot section be deleted? I found YouTube let's plays of the game, which seem to match up with the summary. Would those videos work as a citation? Pizzarush ( talk) 03:21, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
do not need to be sourced with in-line citations, as it is generally assumed that the work itself is the primary source for the plot summary, but if sourcing is available it is encouraged. Don't use YouTube videos as sources, as there are issues with copyrights, especially if they're not from the game developer's account. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 04:07, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

I've been using Wikipedia since it started, and it's clearly gone through major changes over the last couple of decades. One thing that I've noticed is the trend to give political articles from all sides a more emotional tone, often revealing the party to which the author is affiliated. My question is: Is Wikipedia meant to provide facts like actual encyclopedias, or is it meant to have more of an entertainment factor to it? The question might sound facetious, but that is not intended in any way. I just often notice parts of articles based on opinion alone. It's just good to know the take, because I prefer to read unbiased articles. Anything else should be relegated to opinion pages or tabloids. Thanks. Vox Merus ( talk) 15:45, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi IP editor. I concur with the comments above that there would be no reason to have a separate article on synthetic nicotine. However, I was surprised to find that our article on nicotine doesn't have a section on its chemical synthesis, only its biosynthesis. Per WP:Manual_of_Style/Chemistry/Chemicals#Preparation we usually have an account of the first synthesis of a compound. In this case, that might be for racemic and/or chiral samples. We would also describe the industrial synthesis if relevant. Do you happen to have citations for any/all of these, to save me time looking? If so, I will happily write something appropriate for the article. Mike Turnbull ( talk) 12:35, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

If you are editing on a browser and have an article open, then there should be a "Talk" button to take you to that article's talk page; if you are on the app, it seems to be under the "three dots" at the top.

For example there's Falling (Howard novel) which contains a small paragraph of the 2005 ITV Television film of the same name, which is based on the book.
When you add that article to film and TV related categories it shows up as Falling (Howard novel).

Hi, my recent change to an article was reverted. Does Wikipedia not use ISO 31/XI typesetting in which operators are written in roman font? The "d" is an operator and therefore should not be italic. See this explanation under section 2.2, point 6.
I have noticed some articles use roman font while others do not (like the article I corrected).

Some months ago I noticed some information on exercise in the ADHD article which conflicts with the recent Federation of ADHD International Consensus Statement (which I believe is a tertiary or even, er, quarternary? source). As far as I can tell it should pretty much overrule any other sources that predate it.
I raised this on the ADHD talk page and was encouraged to make the necessary changes myself. However, I have been struggling to make time for it due to general life chaos (having ADHD myself), and as I've never edited a page before I feel like I'd need to take a lot of time over it, reading up on how to write things and cite things etc. so I don't get yelled at lol. And at the moment I barely have the headspace to think.
Is there someone who would be willing to take it on instead or, failing that, help me make sure I get it right and up to Wikipedia standards? It shouldn't actually be that big of a job - the Wiki article makes claims about how exercise helps ADHD but the consensus statement says that no evidence has been found supporting a significant effect of exercise on ADHD, once you correct for publication bias. Just not sure how to go about it. (Also I haven't checked if the sources used in the Wiki article are mentioned in the consensus statement.) RapturousRatling ( talk) 15:09, 9 June 2022 (UTC)

Pyrrho the Skipper, That was a very non-judgmental assessment. I got a better understanding of your ability to talk facts instead of opinion. And this is not an attack but merely pointing out that dishing opinion even if not about the people involved casts a bad light on your belief in a positive environment. I see it all the time in Craigslist, people hiring to have created an article for them. And it does not help to know from what i have read that WP allows administrators, senior system experience contributors, to do such work as long as they establish separating themselves from the areas that they edit. 2603:8000:D300:D0F:D5D:8295:289E:24F5 ( talk) 22:37, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Hello. Maybe someone can help me troubleshoot. I made a few edits to Bobby Shmurda, Rowdy Rebel, and 6ix9ine's biographies. Namely, that they are rappers who are also convicted felons in the lead of their Wikipedia pages. I saw Martin Shkreli's profile (that he was a hedge fund manager convicted of misappropriating the funds of his clients and, thus, a convicted felon) and decided to copy that style of writing. After a few days, these edits were reverted with two of the reversions coming from an account that justified the reversions by writing 'not an occupation' — in reference to their felony convictions.
It is true that being a felon is 'not an occupation'. But if that is true, shouldn't people like Andrew Fastow, Martin Shkreli, Elizabeth Holmes, have their respective crimes taken out of their leads? I didn't want to revert the edits made to my edits (and start an edit war) so I decided to come here, to the teahouse, to get an education on the relationship between a person, their crime, and how that crime is displayed on their Wikipedia page. Thanks for any help you can proffer.

But I want to know, concretely, why there is an incongruity between ...is "because that's how Wikipedia is". Even with core areas of policy, such as verifiability, there are thousands of articles which don't conform. For most questions such as yours that come up, there is no easy way to check if the question has been debated in general; and even if it has, and a consensus reached, there may be hundreds or thousands of editors working in the same area who are unaware of it. Obviously consistency is a laudable aim, and most editors will agree that it is desirable, but not many of us are willing to spend much effort on it. Probably the best place to discuss concerns such as yours are on the talk page of a relevant WikiProject, (maybe WT:BIOGRAPHY - in fact, if you look through its archives, you may find relevant discussions).

A verified social media account of an article subject saying about themselves something along the lines of "today is my 50th birthday" may fall under self-published sources for purposes of reporting a full date of birth. It may be usable if there is no reason to doubt it.

Hi! I'm a very new editor and I've run into an issue that I can't really find a consensus on. For an article, I'd like to find a citation for a major event in the history of the game. The problem is that I can only find one official source on the event, a Discord post from the game's lead community manager. The game was never very big, and this event occurred some time after development was stopped and the game was removed from Steam, so I am unable to find any news articles relating to the topic. I understand this is very much a edge case, but would it be better to add this as a citation or to leave the statement uncited? If the former, would it be more proper to add a link to the message (requires the user to have a Discord account, and be in the game's Discord server) or to take a screencap of the message?
Sorry for such the strange case! Like I said earlier, I'm very new, so if there's any other information I can provide to help please let me know :)

Re: Wiki list "Friends Seminary Notable Graduates." First let me say that I'm 84. and happy when my toaster works. This is whom I tried to add to the aforementioned list, my late daughter, Christiana Ley Parker, author, equestrian, humanitarian. [ https://www.christianaparker.org The website mentioned is my privately funded charitable entity in her memory. Additionally, I endowed her non-sectarian "Christiana Ley Parker '92 Humanitarian Award" at Friends Seminary; which, in perpetuity, has and will provide a yearly grant to that person, as chosen by the school, "Who went their own oft-times lonely way with goodness and grace" as she did. Chris was the co-author with me of "Camp Off The Wall" and "A Horse In New York" published by Avon, combining our initials as CaM Parker. It was our way of spending time together during school holidays or waiting for camp, when her ongoing efforts to save the world and every horse in it allowed.

Hi. I would like to ask if it is possible for me to create and publish a wikipedia page for a past company called Oilphase (Oilphase Sampling Services Ltd., to be precise). It could link to the reference of "Oilphase" on this other company's page ( /info/en/?search=Schlumberger). I only ask as if Wikipedia has a policy of not publishing pages for past companies or anything like that, since if it does then I would rather not waste my time. Otherwise, I will try to compose something of value. Oilphase was/is notable in the oil & gas industry for revolutionizing bottom-hole sampling technology in the mid-90's in North Sea oilfields. It then soon grew and oil & gas companies around the world were using their tools in their wells. The technology, single-phase sampling, has since been adopted by several other service companies (Halliburton, Baker Hughes, etc).

the only UK based security association established to acknowledge, support and represent the front-line security workers- "acknowledge" means nothing, "support" is vague (and not detailed in the body of the article), and there is a word for associations that "represent" workers, it’s "union".
IPSA's membership consists of security individuals and companies that resonate with the association's values and beliefs- as opposed to other associations that gather aliens and plants that disagree with the association’s values and beliefs?
IPSA is a courageous body of professional, experienced, and influential members of the security industry that are working together- similarly: as opposed to cowardly, sloppy, unexperienced and obscure members of the industry? As opposed to sabotaging one another?

I am a journalist who covers the music scene for a few of the larger publications. I decided to write an article about one of the bands I have covered in the past.

Some of the sources are my own writing, I am also listed as a source on others band's articles (not ones I wrote, just cited as a source) because the publications I work for are considered "reliable sources" since everything is vetted for accuracy by my editor. Like I said, I wasn't asked or paid by the band, I have just covered them. I don't have any kind of relationship with them. Is this a conflict of interest?

This is both a rant and a question about the Trams in Ostrava article.
A rollbacker and a page mover admin completely ignored my contribution on the article. Their argument on my talk page was that the article wouldn't pass WP:V. I read about WP:V and admittedly, there wasn't many references to the article, and as a beginner, I was 1. practising my articles whilst openly contributing 2. providing in depth translations and 3. working on references. But wouldn't millions of articles on Wikipedia currently not pass WP:V?
For example, the article now reads more succinctly (congratulations to the editor), but there's no information on steam trams that has been completely rubbed out. Surely not every sentence on Wikipedia has to have a corresponding reference? I find it unlikely that this would be possible.
I risk highlighting Trams in Košice article for the same reason; yet there are a few books available on it. While I can speak a bit of Czech, Slovak is a little different; I don't understand some words or context to be able to cite the book properly. Kmlbon ( talk) 07:21, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

We have lots 'WikiProjects' here, which are simply groups of editors who come together to work on specific topics. So, in my case I'd visit WikiProject Mountains of the Alps. They have a table of all relevant articles there (3,097 of them), and all listed by importance and by their quality (=completeness). To have the greatest impact, I might choose to look at all the 'High' Importance articles that are really short (we call them stubs). The table shows me there are currently 22 of them. By clicking the number in the cell, I get list of those articles, and can visit each in turn to see whether I have anything I could add to them from my reference books. I can't base what I write on my own personal experience of them, and must be able to cite published books or other reliable online sources to support everything I want to add. I suspect you don't have the same interests as me, so why not visit the full list of Projects.

There is a user who reverts my main space article edits, and I have collected some evidence that they reverted my edits without reading the content. I left a comment on their Talk Page regarding this issue, but they also reverted the section I created on their Talk page. I looked at their Talk Page history, and they also reverted other editors' comments on their Talk Page about edit warring, etc.
1. Is it appropriate for me to revert their revert to restore my message on their Talk Page?
2. Is there any rule against editors deleting criticism from their Talk Page?

two paragraphs was too long, so that's why the whole thing was deletedbut it was really only 3 sentences, well, 3 sentences sounds pretty short. I can't find the actual revert at the moment to check.

"If multiple independent reliable sources state differing years or dates of birth in conflict, the consensus is to include all birth dates/years for which a reliable source exists, clearly noting discrepancies. In this situation, editors must not include only one date/year which they consider "most likely", or include merely a single date from one of two or more reliable sources. Original research must not be used to extrapolate the date of birth."HTH, -- DoubleGrazing ( talk) 13:41, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
I was reading about Jose Rizal and i wanted to make a section called Rizal Law. I searched for my books and found this one book my teacher gave me, and i found some information. The information reads "Rizal Law, Also known as RA 1425, mandates the study of Rizal's life and works. This Republic Act calls for an increased sense of nationalism from the Filipinos during a time of a dwindling Filipino identity. According to the judicial system, a republic ac is a law that has already been passed and implimented." I wanted to add that information to the new section i was talking about, though i can't cite a book from real life. I googled the ISBN of the book, that being 978-971-0161-53-9. But no results were found. I went ahead to https://isbnsearch.org which was my tool for searching ISBN numbers. No results still came up, (click here.) I just know this type of information needs a citation and the section might be removed because there is no citation for the information. The book is named "A Review in the Life and Works of the First Filipino.", I also searched on google books but still no luck. Leahnn Rey ( talk) 04:29, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Is there any Wikipedia guideline on advertising being discussed in articles that are not primarily about them? I searched a bit but all I really found was policies against articles that are written like advertisements. Although, it's a blurry line, so maybe those apply!
I just read the article Joker Stairs which mentions some fast food ad that was set there, listing the ad's slogan. It often happens with songs: What Have They Done to My Song Ma mentions three ads that used the song, listing the mangled lyrics in each case. I'm sure the creatives behind these throwaway ads are thrilled to have them immortalised on Wikipedia but I don't see how they can be considered notable. The ads didn't matter enough to get their own articles. If licensing a song for a while is enough for your otherwise unrelated slogan to become a notable fact about that song on Wikipedia forever, well, that's a great deal.

Oversimplified summary of HTTP/HTTPS technology and history
|
---|
Long ago, many internet pages used HTTP, a protocol to exchange data between a server (here, whoever controls geoview.info) and a client (your web browser). That data was sent "in clear", with no encryption, which allowed multiple nefarious actors to do bad stuff (for instance, if I control the internet traffic between the server and the client, I can change the page’s content, read whatever you send etc.; in some instances, internet service providers put in ads to the top of their customer’s web requests). A new protocol, HTTPS, was developed to solve that issue - the server would encrypt and sign the data it sends to the client, so that the client has some confidence that nobody has tampered with the content of the page. HTTPS was better than HTTP to use but it’s a bit harder to set up, there’s a significant technical and political problem of how the client knows to decrypt the result, and webmasters are lazy (reminder, this is a very simplified summary). Browsers decided to put increasingly dire warnings when displaying pages that are not fully-HTTPS; including pages that are "self-signed" (i.e. the page is HTTPS, but you are not sure who did the encryption - probably the server but you cannot be sure) or that include non-HTTPS elements (for instance, if my page includes maps from Google etc. I might elect to direct your browser to look up those on your own). In the case of that page, the root page itself is HTTPS, but it calls some resources (typically images from other websites) over HTTP. Hence your browser is complaining that all the risks associated with insecure HTTP are still present. The fact that your browser is screaming is more a choice from the browser vendor (to push those do-nothing webmasters to move on to full-HTTPS already) than a function of the real security risk. |

I have been working on this article for a long time already Draft:Renderforest. I have eliminated all the possible promotional parts, left purely informational text such as what products Renderforest offers and the history of their creation.
I once got rejected beacuse I inlcuded the pricing, regardless the fact that other companies such as Canva does that. (I don't know, should I feel hurt that others have the right to do that but not me : ( )
This time I got rejected because the article reminds the reviewer of a listicle, however I have been inspired by Picsart which literally states their history and the products they have.

Hi! New editor here. I have a question about the use of Twitter as a substantive citation for information on a subject. My first edit was on a writer's page, Claire Vaye Watkins. I wanted to add a section for her newest novel, similar to the sub-headings for her other books. There was a section on apparent abuse allegations that I thought was a little strange because it used a Tweet as its citation and seemed spurious. I removed this section, citing BLP standards, but it was re-added in another edit a few days later by the same editor who had initially added it. I'm not really sure what to do. I elided the allegation into the section on her most recent novel as it seemed most pertinent there, but I feel really strange about even keeping it at all. I'd really appreciate some help here as it seems like another editor might be acting in bad faith. Thank you! Somedays2you ( talk) 18:20, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

For months it has... bugged me how in Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor's article the "primary image"—the image that gets shown when you hover over the hyperlink, etc.—is his signature. Based on the Talk page there, that issue has been there for at least a year and a half by now. Thing is, I have compared Charles V's infobox with some other royals with not-so-linear primary images, and there seems to be no difference between them. Now I'm thinking maybe the issue is with his portrait, but figured that it's better to ask here first before I do anything drastic.

Over the years I've noticed that some British TV series which consist of 2 episodes, and occasionally 3 episodes, get added to IMDb and Wikipedia, as TV films when they aren't films, as the 2+ episodes, sometimes with episode titles too, and 2+ sets of credits suggest.
I've corrected quite a few 2 episode British productions on IMDB over the last few years (all of which I've forgotten, apart from the one I've nearly finished correcting on IMDB right now) by changing them from TV films to TV series along with moving all the credits to their respective episodes, and checking them along the way.
However I'm not sure if I should rename the articles about those British 2 episode TV series on Wikipedia too, from TV films to TV series which is what they actually are.
Should they be renamed from TV films to TV series, or are the guidelines about 2 episode TV series different on Wikipedia? Danstarr69 ( talk) 18:15, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
I've noticed this issue quite often, and think it could be a widespread bug on Wikipedia. Basically, at the time of writing, someone used a recently-published source to cite a claim, and in making the claim, said it was true "as of" then.
Fast forward a year or even a month (if the claim was made for that month), and now Wikipedia is possibly purveying false information! For example, if it said "As of August 2021", unless it's updated with a new source in September (which of course it never is), as soon as it is September, it's a claim that could be false, and definitely isn't verified. As soon as it is 2023, anything that said "As of 2022" and isn't updated, could be false, and isn't verified.
On the other hand, if editors were to say "By 2022" and "By August 2021", etc., all of this is avoided. It's true to eternity, or until updated. I'm posting this as a call to arms to editors to fix this pervasive issue, and also as a plea to stop propagating it. That is all. Noble Metalloid ( talk) 16:05, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

Morning everyone,
I work for an event management organisation who works closely with an NFP (ANZMHA, https://anzmh.asn.au). They're one of the main providers of professional development through conferences in Australia for mental health sector professionals. Their events host up to 400 professionals per event, providing them with 13-15 hours of CPD per person/event. Meaning they facilitate between 41,600 and 48,000 professional development hours to mental health professionals every year.
I'm wondering if that's notable enough? The problem is that the association behind it isn't really ever "in the spotlight", as the conferences themselves are what most people in the sector are aware of rather then the association (i.e. International Mental Health Conference, Stop Domestic Violence Conference, Indigenous Wellbeing Conference, etc.). Would it still be worthy of a Wikipedia article? If so, would I be able to create one (I work with them, and I realise you can't post articles about persons close to you).
Thanks for your help.

Hi! I'm trying to figure out how to keep images contained in subheadings, as the location of the images on the page I'm working on aren't corresponding to the section they belong to. I've looked at the Extended Image Syntax Page and the Help Images page in MediaWiki but it appears that vertical alignment commands only worked on frameless images? I was wondering if there was a way to make my images in thumbs float to the right, with the text being at the top and the next section not starting until after the image? One way I thought to do that was by just adding a lot of enters but I'm concerned that won't look the same across different devices? I did it for the first section just so you can get an idea of what I was trying for. Thank you so much! Stringbeans688 ( talk) 19:18, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
{{
clear}}
at the bottom of each section? That te,plate forces clear space before the next section and its related image displays. The amount of space is determined by the amount of overlap of the image above it. So you should get nice, neat alignment.

I can’t find a page for Marilyn Monroe’s gold-colored dress (the one she wore while singing Happy Birthday, Mr. President). If there is not a page for that dress, there really should be one. It was labeled as the most iconic dress of the 20th century, one if the most expensive dresses of all time, and it’s getting a lot of talk right now because of Kim Kardashian. It’s also more talked about and memorable than the white and pink dresses combined, which both have their own pages. Hope I just haven’t looked hard enough.

Hi, I'm currently updating the page for my town, South Kingstown, Rhode Island, and I was wondering if there's a limit to the amount of people I can put in the "notable people" section. I am considering just putting everyone from Category:People from South Kingstown, Rhode Island into the "notable people" section, but idk if that would be allowed or not, especially considering it's like 60 people and that's not even everyone from SK who has a wiki page about themself.

I am a newbie to Wikipedia I would like to start a page that evolves into a ready reckoner - or reference manual for fire sprinkler installation practices - specifically for New Zealand but it would be helpful for multi national contribution under different sections. I thought that users couple download a pdf copy for a small donation to Wikipedia, thereby financing the hosting
(incidentally i see there is a reasonably undeveloped "sprinkler fitters" page but that looks to address an explanation of what a sprinkler fitter is, as opposed to what decisions a sprinkler fitter is obliged to make in the process of installing a sprinkler system so i am proposing a new entry)

Pratik maintains a low profile and is known to avoid the media, you are basically saying "This draft is unacceptable and ought to be deleted". Wikipedia should not, in almost all cases, have biographies of people who actively shun public attention. A Wikipedia article is an invasion of their privacy.

Please see the references section of 1974 ARFU Asian Rugby Championship. There is a reference related to the entire document numbered as 11, and other inline references numbered from 1 to 11 (different 11 from the above). I would like to combine them into a nicely formatted single reference list numbered from 1 to 12. How can I implement this?

I'm sorry for the same question. But the previous answers are not what I wanted to know, though I appreciate their sincere help. What I want to know is just how to make such a combined reference list. That'is just a technical question, not about the specific article that I mentioned. That was just an exmple.

It all begins a month ago when I created my Wikipedia page. I don’t know much about Wikipedia at that time, even I think that only few users can edit Wikipedia articles. And then I searched for my town ( Kalakote) and seen that many points are missing in article. I edited it and try to add more information but I have a gut feeling that Wikipedia is going to reject it but it got accepted. Then I realised that anyone in Wikipedia can edit it. Than I did too many edits on that article, some got rejected whether some got accepted. User:Ohnoitsjamie helped a lot me to understand about Wikipedia editing. After that I edited some more articles. Then I try to create a Wikipedia page about Thermal Power Plant Kalakote. I really found it hard! Article also got rejected because of poor citations and copyright work. Now I decided to create a Wikipedia page with all references without copying. Then I created Casetoo. And real story began here! My article got accepted by Wikipedia, I was very happy that whole night, I literally told my all friends that I make an Wikipedia article, I also informed that person through Instagram story that you now have Wikipedia article, he also congrats me (you can find my Instagram account, it’s too easy!!, I have all proofs there). I then continue my contributions to Wikipedia and cross 2 million+ views in about 120 edits. Than a thought came to my mind whether I can create my own Wikipedia page. Without any research I rushed and make my own Wikipedia page. Now you all know what is going to happen, absolutely speedy deletion. My article got removed by User:Praxidicae. He didn’t just removed my article, but also drafted my old article about Casetoo by saying, more references needed. I added almost 15-17 more references and raise a request to not tondo anything with that article. I also apologise for my shameful act of self article, on that request. But after my request he got offended, and I agree as i did such act. But User:Praxidicae got offended in such a way that he removed all references from that page and put another speedy deletion strike with claim that I’m copying the content. When i asked reason about it, he put another speedy deletion strike by saying that I’m taking money or something like that. Now I asked some questions in his talk page that whether my account got affected by your claim but he didn’t replied. This is our conversation: user talk:Thegoravsharma
Yeah, I did mistake but he should have warned me instead of deleting everything. It’ll lose new users interest on editing on Wikipedia! Now I have some questions
Q1) Does copyright in one article affect another?
Q2) Can Wikipedia senior editors can do wrong claims without any fear?
Q3) I read all notability guidelines of Wikipedia and Casetoo is here in every aspect, but now whenever I’m creating article about Casetoo it’s getting deleted by User:Praxidicae. What should I do now?
Q4) What should I have to do if someone is pointing wrong allegations on me about involvement in conflict?
Q5) Senior editors need to guide us or he can do anything with her choice?
Q6) Can a junior editor like User:Thegoravsharma can raise a complaint against rude behaviour and wrong intentions of senior editors like User:Praxidicae?

I recently submitted an article on a very old but recently revived religious viewpoint: Draft:Revelatory Theory of Atonement. It was promptly rejected because of NPOV problems. I can see that it was written with the point of view of someone wanting to support the view. However, I'm unclear as to how much I need to do to make the tone more neutral. I've done a superficial (I think) revision in which I replaced what were statements of fact with references to this being the theory's point of view on it. I'm not sure if that is sufficient or if it needs a rewrite almost as if it was an adversarial viewpoint, i.e. pointing out everywhere that alternate viewpoints disagree and why. That would seem to me to be taking the NPOV to the opposite ditch. But I'm uncertain where the middle of the road is. I've thought of just resubmitting it but that seems like it might be wasting some reviewer's time just to tell me "No, that's not it." I've also looked at other existing articles that have been flagged as having NPOV problems and I'm not sure I see it in them. I've read the available articles on what NPOV means and am still not sure if the article is still going to have a problem. Advice on how to better understand NPOV and what needs to be done to this article would be much appreciated. WikiMrBadger ( talk) 19:49, 18 June 2022 (UTC)
Hello, please anyone I need reliable sources to make my own page for the first time.

And yes I am writing about a specific topic and is not about myself it's about an actor who has received considerable coverable and appearances and also has played a role movie whereby thy real name is the title of the film...Anyways that all information I can give and please if you have reliable sources I would really appreciate thanks so much Uricdivine ( talk) 20:30, 17 June 2022 (UTC)

Clear writing is not pedantry. You do not know me and you're packing a lot in there by inferring that I'm a comedian or acting in a superior fashion. I'm not an editor and don't intend to be one, but here's a simple solution: "Brian Annesley (or Anslowe), a wealthy Kentishman with three daughters, was an elderly former follower of Queen Elizabeth." Now if you think clear writing is pedantry, and that is a sentiment shared by other Wikipedia editors--well you can finish that sentence. I'm done; I won't respond anymore.

Some experts on reducing terrorism (mass shootings bombings etc) say the perps seek fame and one way to reduce their frequency is for society to not shout their name from every rooftop. Do we have a consensus whether we redact certain names and suppress certain biographies to support this prevention effort? Or do we just handle those troubled souls with our standard P&G?

Gather thy greatness round, Arion! Stand in state,
As when the banqueting thrilled conscious—like a rose
Throughout its hundred leaves at that approach it knows
Of music in the bird—while Corinth grew one breast
A-throb for song and thee; nay, Periander pressed
The Methymnæan hand, and felt a king indeed, and guessed
How Phœbus' self might give that great mouth of the gods
Such a magnificence of song! The pillar nods,
Rocks roof, and trembles door, gigantic, post and jamb,
As harp and voice rend air—the shattering dithyramb!
So stand thou, and assume the robe that tingles yet
With triumph; strike the harp, whose every golden fret
Still smoulders with the flame, was late at fingers' end—
So, standing on the bench o' the ship, let voice expend
Thy soul; sing, unalloyed by meaner mode, thine own,
The Orthian lay; then leap from music's lofty throne;
Into the lowest surge make fearlessly thy launch!
Whatever storm may threat, some dolphin will be stanch!
Whatever roughness rage, some exquisite sea-thing
Will surely rise to save, will bear—palpitating—
One proud humility of love beneath its load—
Stem tide, part wave, till both roll on thy jewell'd road
Of triumph, and the grim o' the gulf grow wonder-white
I' the phosphorescent wake; and still the exquisite
Sea-thing stems on, saves still, palpitatingly thus,
Lands safe at length its load of love at Tænarus,
True woman-creature!
