The Mind and Life Institute should be the "Mind & Life Institute"; its website uses the ampersand (even though its URL does not; can URLs include ampersands?). Mind & Life Institute (mindandlife.org). At Mind and Life Institute, the title and the name above the picture on the right spell out "and," but the first sentence of the article uses the ampersand. I think that the title and the name above the picture on the right should be changed to an ampersand (it seems incongruous to have the first sentence conflict with the title), but I don't know how to edit those.

I have been editing Wikipedia articles for a few months now, and I wanted to try creating my own. I have read several of the guides Wikipedia has about writing an article, so I think I have a general sense as to what to do. I picked a subject off of the United States Wikiproject requested articles list, so I think the topic should be notable.
Can someone explain the best way to start making a draft? I know that you can use a sandbox, but I don't know how that works. I did make a draft (not in the sandbox), but I want to be able to save it without publishing it yet. I did read various Wikipedia pages about how to do it, but I was overwhelmed because there was so much information, so I'm still pretty confused. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I did try to figure it out myself but I couldn't. A. E. Katz ( talk) 16:53, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
I would like to edit this page with the following paragraph, but the system doesn't allow it:
Over the years, Van Gogh and his life have been a source of inspiration for various cultural expressions. The Flemish writer and visual artist Louis Paul Boon based his novel Abel Gholaerts (1944) on the life of Van Gogh, although he moved the action to Flanders. Various films have been made about the artist's life, including the 1956 film Lust for Life with Kirk Douglas as Vincent van Gogh. Vincent and Theo, a film by Robert Altman, was produced in 1996. In 2009, the IMAX film Van Gogh, een kleurrijk portret was released. Don McLean wrote the famous song Vincent (starry, starry night) about him, based on the painting The Starry Night. In 2009 the film Vincent van Gogh, een zaaier in Etten came into circulation, the director was Vincent Oudendijk. More than 100 painters collaborated on the animation film Loving Vincent (2017), who made a painting in the style of Van Gogh for each frame.
Smi953 ( talk) 08:32, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
the system doesn't allow it? There may be a case for adding something in the "Reputation and legacy" section of that article, or more likely within Cultural depictions of Vincent van Gogh, which could do with a lot of improvement. In any event, as Shantavira has indicated, whatever you add must be adequately cited. Mike Turnbull ( talk) 10:38, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

References
I cannot really understand your reasoning. Though the text is a translation from the Dutch Wikipedia, all hyperlinks in the text are from the English Wikipedia. These hyperlinks, which already exist many years, show that the text is truthfull as to its contents and are the references needed. I'll try to insert the texts in Cultural depictions of Vincent van Gogh, but shall also make a reference to this this page under 'external links', as this is missing.

I lived in Barcelona in 1969 and 1970. I knew a woman who was a broadcaster for Radio Reloj, a station that Wikipedia currently says had only been in Cuba and is Cuba-based. I am quite certain that there was one in Spain, maybe not broadcasting out of Barcelona. Perhaps Madrid. Any clarification anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

I'd be grateful for some advice please. The artist Dorothy Adamson, who I believe is notable as she was a member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours) has not got an article in the English Wikipedia, but there is one on the Welsh Wikipedia https://cy.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_Adamson. The latter is very minimal and has the wrong birth date. I would like there to be an improved article about this artist but don't speak Welsh - although I could work with a family member who does. Adamson was born in England and spent most of her life there so does not have a strong Welsh connection, although she died in Wales. Should I seek to improve the Welsh article or to get approval for one in English Wikipedia? Thanks for any advice. Buckland1072 ( talk) 12:37, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
Was browsing Wikipedia, and I came across this article: Dirty War - it seems to have a bad problem with its infobox formatting, leading to a messed-up display. I'm not any expert in editing or fixing complex infoboxes, but I was wondering if anybody knew how to fix this display.

embed the original artist infobox within it, being careful move parameters like |birth date=

; as
Template:Interlanguage_link#Link_to_one_foreign_language explains, this creates a link to the English page if it exists and otherwise makes it (somewhat) clear to the reader that the link will take them to a page from a different language. If I read an article about, say, Indian independence, and click on a blue link to learn more about an obscure figure, I would be surprised to land on a page in Hindi (a language I cannot read) without warning; that sort of thing is called an

Daisy Katz Per your example, Rambus has been an article since 2004, and has accrued more than 500 edits from dozens and dozens of editors. For a draft to be accepted, it does not need to be that long, nor have that many references, but the references need to be independent of the company, from reliable sources, and more than just a mention of the company by name. As noted earlier, refs do not need to be in English, but having no refs in English will likely increase the time between submitting an AfC and it being reviewed, as reviewers pick what they want to do next.

I was then informed by Wikipedia that my corrections are not verified. This is insulting and leaves one a lot of doubt about the quality of the information present on your web site.

Repeatedly we are told to take proposals and potential changes to talk pages so they can be discussed and others can agree that something is good for the article. What are you supposed to do when you make a post on the Talk Page, and flat out nobody responds? For example if I make a post on a talk page along the lines of "I don't think this paragraph should be on this page, it's not relevant to the article", perhaps I made this post because I tried to be BOLD but my removal of the paragraph was reverted, but then nobody answers. I'm still sitting here strongly believing that the paragraph should be removed, but nobody is providing me any argument for why it should stay. Yet I know that if I try to be BOLD again, I'll just be reverted again and possibly even be warned for "disruptive editing". So, what do you do when a Talk Page request is left completely unresolved? 2604:3D08:7481:AF00:1D22:1331:97B:AE3E ( talk) 02:48, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
Hello! Not sure if this is a Wikimedia or WIkipedia question specifically. I'm trying to suss out whether it's acceptable to upload and use still images from the AlertWildfire camera system for articles. Some already do, like Electra Fire (2022), and they're frequently used in news articles ( example). Many wildfires don't have very good images available through firefighting agencies (who have bigger priorities, I guess!) or or civilians/press, since they're often remote and inaccessible. Being able to use AlertWildfire stills would be a big help, but I'd rather not find out when someone more discerning has to delete my image.

Greetings,
I was
by coincidence made aware of two related, in my view very difficult list articles:
List of major crimes in Singapore (2000–present) &
List of major crimes in Singapore (before 2000).
They both seem to contain a significant amount of "regular" crimes, or crimes where the name of victims and/or perpetrators might reasonably not appear on Wikipedia. I'm not sure about our exact policy as I had yet had little to worry about
WP:BLP and similar, so I'd like the input of the expertise frequently to be found around here. I'm especially worried about phrases like "If found guilty
", which indicate that the accused (with names given!) are sometimes not yet even convicted.
I'd like to add that we don't have anything remotely similar for other countries, e.g. only listing terrorist incidents and serial killers with their own article for France. -- LordPeterII ( talk) 11:11, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

I used an in depth film review from Variety Magazine as a reliable source, which I've seen in many Wikipedia articles and would also be accepted at the academic level. The film is by a notable director, as well, with an extensive Wikipedia page. I've seen comparable pages, so I really don't understand why it's not enough. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Regarding this Talk Page Talk:Software Guard Extensions#Conflict of Interest Edit Request
The article about Intel Software Guard Extensions has a large number of inaccuracies and poor information but as an Intel employee, I cannot edit directly due to a conflict of interest. I submitted a list of edit requests back in April 2022 and it looks like no changes have been made by the editors. When I submitted in April, it said the backlog was 156 edits and now it is 210. Every week we have to dissuade customers about errors they read on Wikipedia about on Intel Software Guard Extension. I am trying to be respectful of the conflict of interest rules and understand Wikipedia is a volunteer effort, but is there any way to get editor attention on this page and get some of this misinformation fixed? Please advise. Thank you! MFJpdxOR ( talk) 20:42, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

A long while back, I made this RfC on the source Daily NK. In the discussion, we discussed how sources are generally unreliable when it comes to the topic of North Korea due to the country being so closed off, so much so that even reliable sources like New York Times often reports false information on the topic. Here is an excert of the closing admin's remarks:
The Daily NK has been shown to be wrong multiple times; however, it has noticeable WP:USEBYOTHERS by some of our most reliable sources, not to mention the South Korean government, which you'd think would be the most interested ... For the area of North Korea we should treat all sources with a great deal of skepticism ... Certainly we don't use Daily NK alone for information in Wikipedia's voice, but does that mean "don't use" or "use with attribution"? It has to depend on the specific instance. That's not going to be an easy rule to follow, but a) we don't really have the option to write nothing about a nation of 25 million people that regularly makes front page international news, yet b) to be absolutely safe we'd basically have to do that, because there are no good sources. DailyNK seems as good as any, which isn't very. (There are plenty of worse ones!) We are here to present the world's knowledge, and the world talks a lot about North Korea, but what it says is often wrong.
In the discussion, it was brought up that perhaps there should be an addition to policies or guidelines, such that it addresses these specific issues. In particular, if it is the case that there are no reliable sources on something that needs to be covered (in this instance, modern internal affairs of North Korea), generally unreliable sources may be used without attribution, albeit with great caution. Should there be a discussion on making additions to policies or guidelines in regards to this? Or perhaps a different set of actions should be taken? If action should be taken, how would I go about initiating it? TheGEICOgecko ( talk) 04:47, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi, please see this discussion at commons [8]. Someone at commons changed two images of Olivia Newton-John, blurring the background. The new blurred images are terrible. Note one of the images is in the infobox at Olivia Newton-John which is currently listed in RD on the main page. I tried to revert the changes but the images appear to be protected - it also seems the blurring affects previous versions of the images for some reason.

When is it necessary to put an inline interlanguage link in english Wikipedia? I've seen a lot of inline interlanguage links in english articles with a rather "local" subject (e.g. Indonesia's Next Top Model, Vietnam Idol, etc), especially links to a person's biography (mostly celebrities) that don't have their english article counterpart. These links don't include a language code either. Should they be unlinked (black)? I personally think the majority of english speaking public will not find a non-english page useful for them, and putting them under a blue link in an english article might lead them to think it leads to another english article when it's not. Your input would be much appreciated for my future edits. Thank you! 「HypeBoy」 TALK 14:10, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
Dear all,
I am in creating a contribution for the English Wikipedia. See: User:Alexander Peren. The subject of this article is for a recently installed museum in Germany (Place of Remembrance Badehaus), treating the special place Camp Föhrenwald from its beginning to its change towards a "regular" living quarter. It is mainly the translation of the same article of the German Wikipedia "Erinnerungsort Badehaus". However, I face some problems with typographic questions.
In my contribution appear names of associations/institutions and groups, so what is normally called "proper name". Addtionally, it appears names of books, films, exhibitions, which are as well "proper names", but s.th. completely different. And finally it appear some German expressions, for which no "official" counterpart exists in the english language.
I would like to distinguish these three typs of "proper names" (associations/institutions; titels; German expressions) with typographic medium.
My first idea was to put associations/institutions in italic, the titels in 'apostroph' and the German expressions in "quotation marks". You can see this version in looking older versions of my contributions
But then, with the help of Adakiko, my attention was attracted to /info/en/?search=MOS:FOREIGNITALIC. Inside this link I found (citation) When not to use italics Shortcut MOS:NOITALIC Italics are generally used only for titles of longer works. Titles of shorter works should be enclosed in double quotation marks ("text like this"). This particularly applies to works that exist as a smaller part of a larger work. These include but are not limited to: Articles, essays, papers, chapters, reference work entries, newspaper and magazine sections or departments, episodes of audio-visual series, segments or skits in longer programs, short poems, short stories, story lines and plot arcs; songs, album tracks and other short musical works; leaflets and circulars. (See WP:Manual of Style/Titles § Quotation marks for details.) (citation end) This means for me: titels belonging to a serie/sequence have to be written in quotation marks
In the same link it is written: (citation) Quotations Further information: MOS:QUOTE and MOS:WORDSASWORDS Shortcut MOS:NOITALQUOTE It is normally incorrect to put quotations in italics. They should only be used if the material would otherwise call for italics, such as for emphasis or to indicate use of non-English words. Quotation marks alone are sufficient and the correct way to denote quotations. Indicate whether italics were used in the original text or whether they were added later. For example: "Now cracks a noble heart. Good night sweet prince: And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!" (emphasis added). (citation end) means for me, that German expressions (like Hitlerbeton) also have to be put in quotation marks.
And italic, as far as I believe having read in this link, is exclusively for standing-alone titels of books etc.
Per consequence, I face now the situation for my contribution that mostly the quotation mark is used, rarely the italic and not at all the apostrophe.
Can someone of you help me with my difficulties to distinguish the three different "proper names" in my contribution by help of typography? Which way is acceptable not to viol against the Wikipedia rules? As I already wrote, my preferred solution would be apostrophe for titels, italic for associations/institutions and quotation marks for German expressions without official english counterpart.
Furthermore, my contribution is - with the exception of these typographic questions - more or less ready. Might it please be possible for someone of you to have a look to my article and to make suggestions for improvement, if necessary, or if the article is already good enough to move it towards the regular Wikipedia.
This would be great. I already thank you in advance so much for all your help and your proposals.
Best regards, take care and stay healthy

In light of how the media has acted during the crisis on the Oder river, I believe it would be prudent to mention Poland's poor standing in regards to freedom of the press on the intro section to their page.

Good afternoon, I work for Partnership to End Addiction. A few years ago The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University was subsumed by Partnership to End Addiction as the result of a merger with another similar nonprofit called (most recently) Partnership for Drug-Free Kids.
While the page for Partnership to End Addiction does make reference to Partnership for Drug-Free Kids becoming Partnership to End Addiction, that page makes no reference to the subsumption of The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University by Partnership to End Addiction.
Similarly, the page for The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University makes no reference to the fact that (a) Center on Addiction is defunct, and (b) has, along with all of its staff and platforms become part of Partnership to End Addiction.
I think that it would be considered not appropriate for me or someone else from my org to edit these pages, even just to add basic facts to them to make them more accurate, as this could be construed as self-promotion and this is the wrong space for that sort of thing.
That being said, I am right now trying to determine who, if anyone, might be compelled, if they learned about the need for these edits, to uphold them. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Hello, Tzahy. I have an editing suggestion for you. The lead section of Hadar Gad is way too short and the lead section of Noam Omer is way too long. The lead section should summarize the most important parts of the body of the article, but it should not include any information that is not covered in the body of the article.

An onerous last-minute racing schedule imposed upon the syndicates. That is the type of language used by sports journalists not encylopedia writers. In addition, many of the references are non-functional and lack basic bibliographic information like the title of the article. Your first reference, for example, is worthless for verification. The reference provided for his participation in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics does not verify his participation. References with "author" as the title make no sense and mostly do not work. In conclusion, this article needs a lot of work before the tag can be removed. Cullen328 ( talk) 16:02, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
The article was created in 2008, so it is not yours. The references you added are all crap. The title is never "author."

The " 150,000 spaces across more than 500 car parks" part isn't sourced anywhere so should probably be removed. Theroadislong ( talk) 19:30, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
Hello, SAPEDI. National Car Parks has been on Wikipedia since 2006, so any recent changes in Google search results are for a different reason. The article was started by an editor who is still somewhat active and edits on a wide variety of topics, mostly related to New Zealand, Australia and the UK. This is clearly not an editor here just to promote your competitor. I am an administrator and so I could read your deleted article. The most important part of an acceptable Wikipedia article is the list of references to reliable, independent sources that devote significant coverage to the topic. The article needs to summarize those reliable sources. Your article was unreferenced though it had two external links masquerading as references. Unreferenced articles are never acceptable. The NCP article, on the other hand, has 18 references, many of them to high quality sources like BBC News, the Financial Times and the Manchester Evening News. That is the fundamental difference between the two articles. Cullen328 ( talk) 01:27, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

My name is Phil Lloyd. Username: HTW0822
I am looking for a site where my posts, and others’ on the same topic can be viewed publicly.
I/we are below a non-profit (just Sharing), and try to operate with no money and solicit Funding from Philanthropists or Crowdfunding.
I posted some on Fandom (WETBOP) a year or so ago, and recently on WT.social under the subwiki NSV.
I attempted to contact Mr. Jimmy Wales, but finding WTS once again, I thought this would work. But the issues there are two-fold.
#1) They, at this point do not offer sub wiki nesting like NSV.Energy.Anaerobic Digester.Electricity where members could create a new NSV, lets call it NSV.NoCO2Here where they could design their own New Sharing Village (using the common rules like Max. 1,000 people, 100ha’s in the Tropics and up to 200 ha’s in Temperate (snow) zones).
Then, decide what their NSV will contribute to Village-to-Village Sharing, like Biogas Digesters, Mens’ Shirts, Metal-works, and Toothpaste, for example.
And #2) they are in the process of preparing and releasing Version 2 of WTS, and not sure if my current method will work in that new release.
My question....finally....
Could I and other members write Here on Wikipedia on this Idea of Reducing CO2 emissions, stopping Homelessness, Poverty, Unemployment and so on....by simply shifting people to Sharing Villages – NSVs, where they contribute to building their own Homes, Grow and Raise their own Food on Local Farms using Forest Farming, etc.?
Please understand a 90-100% Sharing community has different motivation, different goals than a for profit one. We want only the Best, the Highest Quality, not the Least cost, not the least Labour for a product that has a built-in obsolescence. Labour is last on the last of criteria, after considering the amount of raw material used. A NSV builds products using worldwide standard components, so Repairing becomes easy. No Brands, just the Most Durable, Long Lasting, Best Quality, always.

I drafted a Wikipedia on the Zefania XML Bible markup language ( /info/en/?search=Draft:Zefania_XML ). There is already a German-language article on this topic ( https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zefania_XML ). My initial submission was rejected due to it not having "significant coverage." I've subsequently added further sources referring to it. While it may not be referenced extensively on Wikipedia, there are hundreds of Bible translations and several applications that are in or that use this format (most are not in English and are intended for a German-language audience and/or for underrepresented groups that have limited Bible resources in their languages), which is no longer publicly documented (the associated domains have expired and I had to use Archive.org and study XML examples to learn the knowledge presented in this article). This article will help preserve this information and serve as a resource to consult for those who wish to learn more about this format which is actively used to distribute Bible translations globally. What else can I do to improve this article (if anything)?

- Hatter Hatter.glass ( talk) 12:17, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
@ Hatter.glass: I have to be blunt here. You need first and foremost to find sources to prove notability (in Wikipedia’s meaning of the term). Drop everything related to cleaning up the article, now - first, you find sources that satisfy WP:GNG, then only if they exist / are sufficient you write the article. Otherwise, it’s just a loss of your time. Very few persons, companies, concepts etc. meet that barrier - it does not mean those persons, companies, concepts are bad or useless or anything, it just means they should not have a Wikipedia page. That other pages exist despite insufficient sourcing is not a valid argument (maybe those pages ought to be deleted).
Notice it’s also a loss of our time. By my count, you have received tailored advice from almost ten different contributors (between the draft comments, your talk page and this thread). I think new paid editors should receive as much help as non-paid editors (even though some people think they should not be helped at all). However, you have had much more help than the average new editor, and I do not see a commensurate improvement in Wikipedia ability.
Onto the sources you provided:
notoriously difficult to get a mention from, but it’s still considered not a good source for notability on Wikipedia. (It might well be that Coindesk is the best of the "crypto" specialized press; but "best of a bad bunch" does not mean "good".)
So, again, if you don’t find much better sources, you would do well to just stop editing the article here and now. No need to ask people to explicitly point out parts of the articles that need rewriting, even if they help you, it’s pointless if the article ends up deleted anyway.

I don't always understand the right way to handle categories, so I'm asking this here instead of making changes to articles. (Sorry about the unlinked category names here - they disappear if I put them in braces). I'm looking at Nancy Reagan and see that it's in the category American film actresses. There's also a category called "Nancy Reagan", and some similar actress categories are sub-cats of American film actresses. Should the Nancy Reagan cat just be a sub-cat of American film actresses also? If we took this too far logically, her category would be a sub-cat of all the categories listed in her article, so I can see that this might lead to craziness. Also, looking at Ronald Reagan, the 20th-century presidents of the United States cat could be a sub-cat of 20th-century American politicians. - Special-T ( talk) 21:48, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Category:American film actresses. The articles in
Category:Nancy Reagan have low relevance to her actress work and she didn't get a category because she was an actress so it doesn't belong in
Category:American film actresses. See
Wikipedia:Categorization#Eponymous categories. All categories should have at least one parent category but it's already in better fits like
Category:First Ladies of the United States.
Category:20th-century presidents of the United States is already a subcategory of
Category:20th-century American politicians.
Ronald Reagan is in both because it is a

in all probability, someone who disagrees with me must be a paid goon" (which is essentially what you wrote) violates the guideline about not casting aspersions. Saying that a removal of content is
dishonest(which implies a deliberate choice to harm the encyclopedia rather than just someone being wrong) is not a great idea either; it might technically not be a breach of policy but it certainly will not help you to talk peacefully with the other editor.

reverted with ES in reply:

" Similar edits at
LGBT rights in Sudan, too.
In both cases, the removal of Reuters cites has justified returning outdated and inaccurate information. Because we have disagreed a lot, the editor will not take my word for it. Two great, experienced, non-involved editors, Mathglot and Firefangledfeathers have earlier tried to restore peace by getting us to concentrate on content, but I have little hope that the editor would respond to any explanation from me. Can anyone gently suggest to the editor, they have misread the WP discussion: It's not about Reuter, but uses a Reuter Foundation report cite to talk about a wholly different source organisation as potentially unreliable?

I was taking a look at Lipstick effect, and the following paragraph was inserted some time in 2012:
"In a 2012 study by four university researchers, the effect was attributed to evolutionary psychology: "This effect is driven by women's desire to attract mates with resources and depends on the perceived mate attraction function served by these products. In addition to showing how and why economic recessions influence women's desire for beauty products, this research provides novel insights into women's mating psychology, consumer behavior, and the relationship between the two. [...] Although the lipstick effect has garnered some anecdotal lore, the present research suggests that women's spending on beauty products may be the third indicator of economic recessions—an indicator that may be rooted in our ancestral psychology."<ref>See Hill, S. E., Rodeheffer, C. D., Griskevicius, V., Durante, K., & White, A. E. (2012, May 28). "Boosting Beauty in an Economic Decline: Mating, Spending, and the Lipstick Effect". ''Journal of Personality and Social Psychology,'' available at http://personal.tcu.edu/sehill/LipstickEffectMS20March2012.pdf</ref>"
Though I'm not too well-versed on psychology papers and journals, I have to admit it kinda sounds like pseudoscience a little.

I have been editing Wikipedia articles for a few months now, and I wanted to try creating my own. I have read several of the guides Wikipedia has about writing an article, so I think I have a general sense as to what to do. I picked a subject off of the United States Wikiproject requested articles list, so I think the topic should be notable.
Can someone explain the best way to start making a draft? I know that you can use a sandbox, but I don't know how that works. I did make a draft (not in the sandbox), but I want to be able to save it without publishing it yet. I did read various Wikipedia pages about how to do it, but I was overwhelmed because there was so much information, so I'm still pretty confused. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I did try to figure it out myself but I couldn't. A. E. Katz ( talk) 16:53, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
I would like to edit this page with the following paragraph, but the system doesn't allow it:
Over the years, Van Gogh and his life have been a source of inspiration for various cultural expressions. The Flemish writer and visual artist Louis Paul Boon based his novel Abel Gholaerts (1944) on the life of Van Gogh, although he moved the action to Flanders. Various films have been made about the artist's life, including the 1956 film Lust for Life with Kirk Douglas as Vincent van Gogh. Vincent and Theo, a film by Robert Altman, was produced in 1996. In 2009, the IMAX film Van Gogh, een kleurrijk portret was released. Don McLean wrote the famous song Vincent (starry, starry night) about him, based on the painting The Starry Night. In 2009 the film Vincent van Gogh, een zaaier in Etten came into circulation, the director was Vincent Oudendijk. More than 100 painters collaborated on the animation film Loving Vincent (2017), who made a painting in the style of Van Gogh for each frame.

the system doesn't allow it? There may be a case for adding something in the "Reputation and legacy" section of that article, or more likely within Cultural depictions of Vincent van Gogh, which could do with a lot of improvement. In any event, as Shantavira has indicated, whatever you add must be adequately cited. Mike Turnbull ( talk) 10:38, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

References
I cannot really understand your reasoning. Though the text is a translation from the Dutch Wikipedia, all hyperlinks in the text are from the English Wikipedia. These hyperlinks, which already exist many years, show that the text is truthfull as to its contents and are the references needed. I'll try to insert the texts in Cultural depictions of Vincent van Gogh, but shall also make a reference to this this page under 'external links', as this is missing.

I lived in Barcelona in 1969 and 1970. I knew a woman who was a broadcaster for Radio Reloj, a station that Wikipedia currently says had only been in Cuba and is Cuba-based. I am quite certain that there was one in Spain, maybe not broadcasting out of Barcelona. Perhaps Madrid. Any clarification anyone has would be greatly appreciated.

I'd be grateful for some advice please. The artist Dorothy Adamson, who I believe is notable as she was a member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours) has not got an article in the English Wikipedia, but there is one on the Welsh Wikipedia https://cy.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_Adamson. The latter is very minimal and has the wrong birth date. I would like there to be an improved article about this artist but don't speak Welsh - although I could work with a family member who does. Adamson was born in England and spent most of her life there so does not have a strong Welsh connection, although she died in Wales. Should I seek to improve the Welsh article or to get approval for one in English Wikipedia? Thanks for any advice. Buckland1072 ( talk) 12:37, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
Was browsing Wikipedia, and I came across this article: Dirty War - it seems to have a bad problem with its infobox formatting, leading to a messed-up display. I'm not any expert in editing or fixing complex infoboxes, but I was wondering if anybody knew how to fix this display. It's such an important article for political/historical reasons that it seems strange to have been left like this. PetSematary182 ( talk) 00:19, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

embed the original artist infobox within it, being careful move parameters like |birth date=

Template:Interlanguage_link#Link_to_one_foreign_language explains, this creates a link to the English page if it exists and otherwise makes it (somewhat) clear to the reader that the link will take them to a page from a different language. If I read an article about, say, Indian independence, and click on a blue link to learn more about an obscure figure, I would be surprised to land on a page in Hindi (a language I cannot read) without warning; that sort of thing is called an

Daisy Katz Per your example, Rambus has been an article since 2004, and has accrued more than 500 edits from dozens and dozens of editors. For a draft to be accepted, it does not need to be that long, nor have that many references, but the references need to be independent of the company, from reliable sources, and more than just a mention of the company by name. As noted earlier, refs do not need to be in English, but having no refs in English will likely increase the time between submitting an AfC and it being reviewed, as reviewers pick what they want to do next.

Repeatedly we are told to take proposals and potential changes to talk pages so they can be discussed and others can agree that something is good for the article. What are you supposed to do when you make a post on the Talk Page, and flat out nobody responds? For example if I make a post on a talk page along the lines of "I don't think this paragraph should be on this page, it's not relevant to the article", perhaps I made this post because I tried to be BOLD but my removal of the paragraph was reverted, but then nobody answers. I'm still sitting here strongly believing that the paragraph should be removed, but nobody is providing me any argument for why it should stay. Yet I know that if I try to be BOLD again, I'll just be reverted again and possibly even be warned for "disruptive editing". So, what do you do when a Talk Page request is left completely unresolved? 2604:3D08:7481:AF00:1D22:1331:97B:AE3E ( talk) 02:48, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
Hello! Not sure if this is a Wikimedia or WIkipedia question specifically. I'm trying to suss out whether it's acceptable to upload and use still images from the AlertWildfire camera system for articles. Some already do, like Electra Fire (2022), and they're frequently used in news articles ( example). Many wildfires don't have very good images available through firefighting agencies (who have bigger priorities, I guess!) or or civilians/press, since they're often remote and inaccessible. Being able to use AlertWildfire stills would be a big help, but I'd rather not find out when someone more discerning has to delete my image.

Greetings,
I was
by coincidence made aware of two related, in my view very difficult list articles:
List of major crimes in Singapore (2000–present) &
List of major crimes in Singapore (before 2000).
They both seem to contain a significant amount of "regular" crimes, or crimes where the name of victims and/or perpetrators might reasonably not appear on Wikipedia. I'm not sure about our exact policy as I had yet had little to worry about
WP:BLP and similar, so I'd like the input of the expertise frequently to be found around here. I'm especially worried about phrases like "If found guilty
", which indicate that the accused (with names given!) are sometimes not yet even convicted.

Regarding this Talk Page Talk:Software Guard Extensions#Conflict of Interest Edit Request
The article about Intel Software Guard Extensions has a large number of inaccuracies and poor information but as an Intel employee, I cannot edit directly due to a conflict of interest. I submitted a list of edit requests back in April 2022 and it looks like no changes have been made by the editors. When I submitted in April, it said the backlog was 156 edits and now it is 210. Every week we have to dissuade customers about errors they read on Wikipedia about on Intel Software Guard Extension. I am trying to be respectful of the conflict of interest rules and understand Wikipedia is a volunteer effort, but is there any way to get editor attention on this page and get some of this misinformation fixed? Please advise. Thank you! MFJpdxOR ( talk) 20:42, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

A long while back, I made this RfC on the source Daily NK. In the discussion, we discussed how sources are generally unreliable when it comes to the topic of North Korea due to the country being so closed off, so much so that even reliable sources like New York Times often reports false information on the topic. Here is an excert of the closing admin's remarks:
The Daily NK has been shown to be wrong multiple times; however, it has noticeable WP:USEBYOTHERS by some of our most reliable sources, not to mention the South Korean government, which you'd think would be the most interested ... For the area of North Korea we should treat all sources with a great deal of skepticism ... Certainly we don't use Daily NK alone for information in Wikipedia's voice, but does that mean "don't use" or "use with attribution"? It has to depend on the specific instance. That's not going to be an easy rule to follow, but a) we don't really have the option to write nothing about a nation of 25 million people that regularly makes front page international news, yet b) to be absolutely safe we'd basically have to do that, because there are no good sources. DailyNK seems as good as any, which isn't very. (There are plenty of worse ones!) We are here to present the world's knowledge, and the world talks a lot about North Korea, but what it says is often wrong.
In the discussion, it was brought up that perhaps there should be an addition to policies or guidelines, such that it addresses these specific issues. In particular, if it is the case that there are no reliable sources on something that needs to be covered (in this instance, modern internal affairs of North Korea), generally unreliable sources may be used without attribution, albeit with great caution. Should there be a discussion on making additions to policies or guidelines in regards to this? Or perhaps a different set of actions should be taken? If action should be taken, how would I go about initiating it? TheGEICOgecko ( talk) 04:47, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi, please see this discussion at commons [8]. Someone at commons changed two images of Olivia Newton-John, blurring the background. The new blurred images are terrible. Note one of the images is in the infobox at Olivia Newton-John which is currently listed in RD on the main page. I tried to revert the changes but the images appear to be protected - it also seems the blurring affects previous versions of the images for some reason.

When is it necessary to put an inline interlanguage link in english Wikipedia? I've seen a lot of inline interlanguage links in english articles with a rather "local" subject (e.g. Indonesia's Next Top Model, Vietnam Idol, etc), especially links to a person's biography (mostly celebrities) that don't have their english article counterpart. These links don't include a language code either. Should they be unlinked (black)? I personally think the majority of english speaking public will not find a non-english page useful for them, and putting them under a blue link in an english article might lead them to think it leads to another english article when it's not. Your input would be much appreciated for my future edits. Thank you! 「HypeBoy」 TALK 14:10, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
Dear all,
I am in creating a contribution for the English Wikipedia. See: User:Alexander Peren. The subject of this article is for a recently installed museum in Germany (Place of Remembrance Badehaus), treating the special place Camp Föhrenwald from its beginning to its change towards a "regular" living quarter. It is mainly the translation of the same article of the German Wikipedia "Erinnerungsort Badehaus". However, I face some problems with typographic questions.
In my contribution appear names of associations/institutions and groups, so what is normally called "proper name". Addtionally, it appears names of books, films, exhibitions, which are as well "proper names", but s.th. completely different. And finally it appear some German expressions, for which no "official" counterpart exists in the english language.
I would like to distinguish these three typs of "proper names" (associations/institutions; titels; German expressions) with typographic medium.
My first idea was to put associations/institutions in italic, the titels in 'apostroph' and the German expressions in "quotation marks". You can see this version in looking older versions of my contributions
But then, with the help of Adakiko, my attention was attracted to /info/en/?search=MOS:FOREIGNITALIC. Inside this link I found (citation) When not to use italics Shortcut MOS:NOITALIC Italics are generally used only for titles of longer works. Titles of shorter works should be enclosed in double quotation marks ("text like this"). This particularly applies to works that exist as a smaller part of a larger work. These include but are not limited to: Articles, essays, papers, chapters, reference work entries, newspaper and magazine sections or departments, episodes of audio-visual series, segments or skits in longer programs, short poems, short stories, story lines and plot arcs; songs, album tracks and other short musical works; leaflets and circulars. (See WP:Manual of Style/Titles § Quotation marks for details.) (citation end) This means for me: titels belonging to a serie/sequence have to be written in quotation marks
In the same link it is written: (citation) Quotations Further information: MOS:QUOTE and MOS:WORDSASWORDS Shortcut MOS:NOITALQUOTE It is normally incorrect to put quotations in italics. They should only be used if the material would otherwise call for italics, such as for emphasis or to indicate use of non-English words. Quotation marks alone are sufficient and the correct way to denote quotations. Indicate whether italics were used in the original text or whether they were added later. For example: "Now cracks a noble heart. Good night sweet prince: And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!" (emphasis added). (citation end) means for me, that German expressions (like Hitlerbeton) also have to be put in quotation marks.
And italic, as far as I believe having read in this link, is exclusively for standing-alone titels of books etc.
Per consequence, I face now the situation for my contribution that mostly the quotation mark is used, rarely the italic and not at all the apostrophe.
Can someone of you help me with my difficulties to distinguish the three different "proper names" in my contribution by help of typography? Which way is acceptable not to viol against the Wikipedia rules? As I already wrote, my preferred solution would be apostrophe for titels, italic for associations/institutions and quotation marks for German expressions without official english counterpart.
Furthermore, my contribution is - with the exception of these typographic questions - more or less ready. Might it please be possible for someone of you to have a look to my article and to make suggestions for improvement, if necessary, or if the article is already good enough to move it towards the regular Wikipedia.
This would be great. I already thank you in advance so much for all your help and your proposals.
Best regards, take care and stay healthy

In light of how the media has acted during the crisis on the Oder river, I believe it would be prudent to mention Poland's poor standing in regards to freedom of the press on the intro section to their page.

Good afternoon, I work for Partnership to End Addiction. A few years ago The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University was subsumed by Partnership to End Addiction as the result of a merger with another similar nonprofit called (most recently) Partnership for Drug-Free Kids.
While the page for Partnership to End Addiction does make reference to Partnership for Drug-Free Kids becoming Partnership to End Addiction, that page makes no reference to the subsumption of The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University by Partnership to End Addiction.
Similarly, the page for The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University makes no reference to the fact that (a) Center on Addiction is defunct, and (b) has, along with all of its staff and platforms become part of Partnership to End Addiction.
I think that it would be considered not appropriate for me or someone else from my org to edit these pages, even just to add basic facts to them to make them more accurate, as this could be construed as self-promotion and this is the wrong space for that sort of thing.
That being said, I am right now trying to determine who, if anyone, might be compelled, if they learned about the need for these edits, to uphold them. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

An onerous last-minute racing schedule imposed upon the syndicates. That is the type of language used by sports journalists not encylopedia writers. In addition, many of the references are non-functional and lack basic bibliographic information like the title of the article. Your first reference, for example, is worthless for verification. The reference provided for his participation in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics does not verify his participation. References with "author" as the title make no sense and mostly do not work. In conclusion, this article needs a lot of work before the tag can be removed. Cullen328 ( talk) 16:02, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
The article was created in 2008, so it is not yours. The references you added are all crap. The title is never "author."

The " 150,000 spaces across more than 500 car parks" part isn't sourced anywhere so should probably be removed. Theroadislong ( talk) 19:30, 18 August 2022 (UTC)
Hello, SAPEDI. National Car Parks has been on Wikipedia since 2006, so any recent changes in Google search results are for a different reason. The article was started by an editor who is still somewhat active and edits on a wide variety of topics, mostly related to New Zealand, Australia and the UK. This is clearly not an editor here just to promote your competitor. I am an administrator and so I could read your deleted article. The most important part of an acceptable Wikipedia article is the list of references to reliable, independent sources that devote significant coverage to the topic. The article needs to summarize those reliable sources. Your article was unreferenced though it had two external links masquerading as references. Unreferenced articles are never acceptable. The NCP article, on the other hand, has 18 references, many of them to high quality sources like BBC News, the Financial Times and the Manchester Evening News. That is the fundamental difference between the two articles. Cullen328 ( talk) 01:27, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

My name is Phil Lloyd. Username: HTW0822
I am looking for a site where my posts, and others’ on the same topic can be viewed publicly.
I/we are below a non-profit (just Sharing), and try to operate with no money and solicit Funding from Philanthropists or Crowdfunding.
I posted some on Fandom (WETBOP) a year or so ago, and recently on WT.social under the subwiki NSV.
I attempted to contact Mr. Jimmy Wales, but finding WTS once again, I thought this would work. But the issues there are two-fold.
#1) They, at this point do not offer sub wiki nesting like NSV.Energy.Anaerobic Digester.Electricity where members could create a new NSV, lets call it NSV.NoCO2Here where they could design their own New Sharing Village (using the common rules like Max. 1,000 people, 100ha’s in the Tropics and up to 200 ha’s in Temperate (snow) zones).
Then, decide what their NSV will contribute to Village-to-Village Sharing, like Biogas Digesters, Mens’ Shirts, Metal-works, and Toothpaste, for example.
And #2) they are in the process of preparing and releasing Version 2 of WTS, and not sure if my current method will work in that new release.
My question....finally....
Could I and other members write Here on Wikipedia on this Idea of Reducing CO2 emissions, stopping Homelessness, Poverty, Unemployment and so on....by simply shifting people to Sharing Villages – NSVs, where they contribute to building their own Homes, Grow and Raise their own Food on Local Farms using Forest Farming, etc.?
Please understand a 90-100% Sharing community has different motivation, different goals than a for profit one. We want only the Best, the Highest Quality, not the Least cost, not the least Labour for a product that has a built-in obsolescence. Labour is last on the last of criteria, after considering the amount of raw material used. A NSV builds products using worldwide standard components, so Repairing becomes easy. No Brands, just the Most Durable, Long Lasting, Best Quality, always.
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions HTW0822 ( talk) 04:28, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

I drafted a Wikipedia on the Zefania XML Bible markup language ( /info/en/?search=Draft:Zefania_XML ). There is already a German-language article on this topic ( https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zefania_XML ). My initial submission was rejected due to it not having "significant coverage." I've subsequently added further sources referring to it. While it may not be referenced extensively on Wikipedia, there are hundreds of Bible translations and several applications that are in or that use this format (most are not in English and are intended for a German-language audience and/or for underrepresented groups that have limited Bible resources in their languages), which is no longer publicly documented (the associated domains have expired and I had to use Archive.org and study XML examples to learn the knowledge presented in this article). This article will help preserve this information and serve as a resource to consult for those who wish to learn more about this format which is actively used to distribute Bible translations globally. What else can I do to improve this article (if anything)?

- Hatter Hatter.glass ( talk) 12:17, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
@ Hatter.glass: I have to be blunt here. You need first and foremost to find sources to prove notability (in Wikipedia’s meaning of the term). Drop everything related to cleaning up the article, now - first, you find sources that satisfy WP:GNG, then only if they exist / are sufficient you write the article. Otherwise, it’s just a loss of your time. Very few persons, companies, concepts etc. meet that barrier - it does not mean those persons, companies, concepts are bad or useless or anything, it just means they should not have a Wikipedia page. That other pages exist despite insufficient sourcing is not a valid argument (maybe those pages ought to be deleted).
Notice it’s also a loss of our time. By my count, you have received tailored advice from almost ten different contributors (between the draft comments, your talk page and this thread). I think new paid editors should receive as much help as non-paid editors (even though some people think they should not be helped at all). However, you have had much more help than the average new editor, and I do not see a commensurate improvement in Wikipedia ability.
Onto the sources you provided:
notoriously difficult to get a mention from, but it’s still considered not a good source for notability on Wikipedia. (It might well be that Coindesk is the best of the "crypto" specialized press; but "best of a bad bunch" does not mean "good".)
So, again, if you don’t find much better sources, you would do well to just stop editing the article here and now. No need to ask people to explicitly point out parts of the articles that need rewriting, even if they help you, it’s pointless if the article ends up deleted anyway.

I don't always understand the right way to handle categories, so I'm asking this here instead of making changes to articles. (Sorry about the unlinked category names here - they disappear if I put them in braces). I'm looking at Nancy Reagan and see that it's in the category American film actresses. There's also a category called "Nancy Reagan", and some similar actress categories are sub-cats of American film actresses. Should the Nancy Reagan cat just be a sub-cat of American film actresses also? If we took this too far logically, her category would be a sub-cat of all the categories listed in her article, so I can see that this might lead to craziness. Also, looking at Ronald Reagan, the 20th-century presidents of the United States cat could be a sub-cat of 20th-century American politicians. - Special-T ( talk) 21:48, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

produces
Category:American film actresses. The articles in
Category:Nancy Reagan have low relevance to her actress work and she didn't get a category because she was an actress so it doesn't belong in
Category:American film actresses. See
Wikipedia:Categorization#Eponymous categories. All categories should have at least one parent category but it's already in better fits like
Category:First Ladies of the United States.
Category:20th-century presidents of the United States is already a subcategory of
Category:20th-century American politicians.
Ronald Reagan is in both because it is a
non-diffusing subcategory.

Biographies of living persons ("BLPs") must be written conservatively and with regard for the subject's privacy.

in all probability, someone who disagrees with me must be a paid goon" (which is essentially what you wrote) violates the guideline about not casting aspersions. Saying that a removal of content is
dishonest(which implies a deliberate choice to harm the encyclopedia rather than just someone being wrong) is not a great idea either; it might technically not be a breach of policy but it certainly will not help you to talk peacefully with the other editor.

An editor I have been at cross purposes with, just removed material from
Capital punishment for homosexuality because the source supporting it was unreliable. Its citation was from

reverted with ES in reply:
[17] "[Reuters] bad source parroting from other articles and reuter did a poll discussed in another discussion that had poor sampling
" Similar edits at
LGBT rights in Sudan, too.
In both cases, the removal of Reuters cites has justified returning outdated and inaccurate information. Because we have disagreed a lot, the editor will not take my word for it. Two great, experienced, non-involved editors, Mathglot and Firefangledfeathers have earlier tried to restore peace by getting us to concentrate on content, but I have little hope that the editor would respond to any explanation from me. Can anyone gently suggest to the editor, they have misread the WP discussion: It's not about Reuter, but uses a Reuter Foundation report cite to talk about a wholly different source organisation as potentially unreliable?

I was taking a look at Lipstick effect, and the following paragraph was inserted some time in 2012:
"In a 2012 study by four university researchers, the effect was attributed to evolutionary psychology: "This effect is driven by women's desire to attract mates with resources and depends on the perceived mate attraction function served by these products. In addition to showing how and why economic recessions influence women's desire for beauty products, this research provides novel insights into women's mating psychology, consumer behavior, and the relationship between the two. [...] Although the lipstick effect has garnered some anecdotal lore, the present research suggests that women's spending on beauty products may be the third indicator of economic recessions—an indicator that may be rooted in our ancestral psychology."<ref>See Hill, S. E., Rodeheffer, C. D., Griskevicius, V., Durante, K., & White, A. E. (2012, May 28). "Boosting Beauty in an Economic Decline: Mating, Spending, and the Lipstick Effect". ''Journal of Personality and Social Psychology,'' available at http://personal.tcu.edu/sehill/LipstickEffectMS20March2012.pdf</ref>"
Though I'm not too well-versed on psychology papers and journals, I have to admit it kinda sounds like pseudoscience a little.
