I am in a big dilemma. Please help me. Yesterday I wrote the following comment on the article [1] I've been working on so far, quote: "Regarding the two wordpress sources. These have been changed with reliable sources. Regarding the commercial source. This was suppressed, not being necessary anyway, since it is clearly shown that the book mentioned by Borbely was published in France, being an additional reason for notability to announce the future appearance of a book. What I can't understand is something else entirely. This time I ask for your help as a user because I am in a dilemma.Entered the URL address along with the name of the person who reviewed, but also the title of the publication and the page where the review is located, thinking that it is enough. I did this because I understood that it does not matter that the reviews are written in another language. I thought it was easy for anyone to put the review on google translate and find out what is written there. The sources I indicated represent the most important Romanian cultural publications. I don't understand why you put the label with: "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified", once that the sources posted by me are reliable and especially can be very easily verified. Can you show me one source out of many that would not be reliable? The fact that those who have to give a solution do not want to read the sources on the grounds that they are in another language does not mean that the sources are not reliable. Those who wrote the reviews to which there are URLs are the most important literary critics of Romania, recognized as such by Wikipedia. Their reviews are in the most important Romanian publications. What is written in them shows facts that support Cerin's work. Each review clearly and unequivocally shows the book it refers to and claims special things about it. You just had to download them on any google translate and you would have immediately had the review in English. Let me understand that if I entered the titles of the books that the reviews refer to and two or three words about what they say, wouldn't you have translated the reviews to see what was written in them and would you have made the decisions only after some words? If you had translated them, why don't you translate them now and you would have exactly the same result? How can you say that the sources that lead to the reviews are not reliable once you have not even translated to see what is written in those reviews that the sources lead you to? Sorin Cerin is currently the most appreciated writer by the most important literary critics. The reviews about Cerin are not just passing passages, they stretch over pages of literary criticism, showing that Cerin is one of the most important contemporary writers. I wrote all this because Wikipedia asks us to let the reviews about the writers speak for themselves, thus reinforcing the neutral point of view. Once the literary critics write about Cerin's work more than laudatory, how can I show all this? Isn't it better for the reader to access the respective review and make up his own mind?. The dilemma is all the greater as those who write about Cerin have praised him. Asking me to write what exactly these literary critics write about Cerin would mean praising Cerin, even in the two or three words, a fact that goes against Wikipedia and the neutral point of view. Please also give me your opinions on those written by me" end the quote.
Can someone explain to me how to write the few words from the existing reviews about this author, but especially how to place the books that the reviews are talking about? Should I write next to each review the books it refers to, and if several reviews also refer to the same book, should I repeat the title of the respective book? When I mean how to write the few words about the review, I want to know if they can be laudatory as well as the respective review or not? If no, it does not mean that it does not reflect what is written in the review, and if yes, it means that I am breaking Wikipedia's rules regarding the neutral point of view. Thank you for your help.

Hi there! In an attempt to draft an article I was working on in my Sandbox, I accidentally drafted my whole sandbox, including the history for the entire ~8 months I've been using it ( link). I tried putting it back, but somehow managed to make an entirely new Sandbox in the process and now I can't just move the original Sandbox back to where it should be. I read Wikipedia:Moving a page and Wikipedia:Requested moves, but I'm a little confused on where to put my request. Would someone be able to point me in the right direction?

I was going to report this at WP:ANI, but figured Teahouse might be a better place first (if I figured wrong and such cases belong to WP:ANI or elsewhere, please let me know).
I spotted by chance a user whose whole activity (I checked ca. 20 edits) is either changing correct grammar and punctuation to incorrect, or making unnecessary wikilinks (often self-referencing an article). My request to stop damaging WP seemed to have effect – there was no response, but this daily activity has stopped so far: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/VickyBenz
There are a couple of points I'd like to raise in this regard.
1. While many of his/her edits were reverted by now, many are still there – not because they are all good, but rather because noone noticed or doesn't care. I think all remaining edits must be reverted (I haven't seen a single good one, recent and first edits included).
2. Doesn't software which WP runs on include a utility which would analyze edits and report suspicious activity to draw attention to them, so a human admin can notice it immediately and cut it short, preventing massive damage as it happened with this user? Cases like spoiling grammar or bad wikilinking (at least self-referencing) are fairly easy to catch, after all, and a good tracker can cover much more than such trivial cases. 188.66.34.125 ( talk) 07:29, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
It occurred to me that the best option for such users would be getting a supervisor/mentor; not one merely answering questions, but one "watching" edits of a mentee so as to revert bad ones immediately and provide some guidance, and by doing so prevent massive content damage and teach newbies wanted and effective editing of Wikipedia in a shorter time span than in mentorless mode.
Can anyone here give VickyBenz pointers as to where and how to ask for a mentor, as I've personally never been involved in it and can't really advise on this topic?
Also left a note for Growth Team – I agree with Pelagic they'd better be aware of such cases and it's obvious we need more effective measures to prevent something like this from happening: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Growth_Team_features#Some_newcomers_need_a_lot_more_attention
And a question: I'm thinking of submitting formal proposals at Village Pump for introduction of edit analyzer and supervision for problematic newcomers; any pointers to what I should read first prior to posting there? 188.66.34.204 ( talk) 17:59, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Are categories which are sorted "by city" allowed to include towns and other non-city Districts of England?
Or should a new category be created for the towns and other non-city Districts of England?
I find that there's a lot of non-Wikipedia websites and videos which include British places like towns, villages and even neighbourhoods in "British city lists".
And now Wikipedia seems to be doing the same, by confusing already confused mainly non-Brit people, into thinking that those non-cities are actually cities, just like with the county and region of Greater London which is not a city, has never been a city, and never will be a city, contrary to what Wikipedia claims.
I've looked at the following category page before and never noticed that it includes towns, because they've either been recently added, or most likely because I wasn't paying attention
Category:Films set in England by city
Those towns are Blackpool, Hartlepool, Luton, Oldham, Whitby and Windsor.
There's also the town of Brighton category which I was going to rename to the city of Brighton and Hove category, however that wasn't an option, so I redirected it instead expecting all the entries to move too, but they haven't, so could someone fix it so that Category:Films set in Brighton gets merged into Category:Films set in Brighton and Hove?

I submitted an article " Draft:Adly Thoma" and got rejected (npov - Submission is not written in a formal, neutral encyclopedic tone). I got this comment from the reviewer (Purely promotional. See WP:COI.) I reviewed the tone and removed any promotional language, sticked only to sentences stating facts. yet the same rejection came for the second time with this comment (This is still promotional, and you have not responded to the COI query here and on your talk page.)
As far as I understand the COI comes if i have a relation with the person I'm talking about and I don't. I'm not sure what is the COI query mentioned or what is it that i'm supposed to do next.

Why do my editing changes get constantly undone! For example, the 'Location' of the Yousuf Karsh photograph of Winston Churchill should be where the image was originally photographed which was the Speaker's Chamber of the Speaker of the House of Commons in Ottawa, NOT in the Fairmont Chateau Laurier in the same city. There are two Wikipedia editors continuously undoing this fact. It seems widely assumed the 'original' of this photograph is located in that hotel. Wrong! The Roaring Lion topic is to discuss the historical facts of its creation. When 'peacock prose' notations are posted, the word or sentence is changed accordingly to the guidelines but for some reason is undone! Winone65 ( talk) 05:18, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

Hello Danial Bass. You may want to suggest to the editor that this should be addressed at Wikimedia Commons, which is where the photo was uploaded. Beside the photo caption is a little “box” to be clicked. Next click on the blue “More details” button. On the left of the page is a menu to choose from. “Contact us” will go to a page that has a “Problems” link. On the next page can be found “Copyright violations”, as well as “Images of yourself”, that has a request removal link. A message can be left at either of those pages. Perhaps the gentleman could be reminded that everyone he communicates with is a volunteer, who did not upload the photo in question. Being polite to those he wants help from may be to his advantage. Thanks for trying to resolve the difficulty. Karenthewriter ( talk) 22:33, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello to anyone who reads this 🙂 I have been editing on Wikipedia for a little more than six months now and have made just over 1,000 edits, but I have had a question ever since I joined which I would like a little clarification on, so I thought I would finally ask it.
I have created and worked on multiple 'year in country' articles, in this case 2022 in Vatican City, and there are some events that I would like to add to the article such as the nation being invited by Switzerland and Ukraine to attend a "Ukraine Recovery" conference in Lugano (citation here) but, not to sound dumb, can I include this event because it did not take place 'in' the Vatican? The event directly involves the nation in question, but not taking place inside of the Vatican's borders, can and should this be included in the article? I thought I would ask, thanks!

Hi. I'm trying to write "47", the route's number, in
Template:Infobox road's "route" parameter. What this is supposed to do is autogenerate the expressway's full Chinese name, which is "嫩江–丹东高速公路" (Nenjiang-Dandong Expressway). However, since this is a new highway, the template fails to register, and instead, I receive the error message [undefined] Error: {{Lang}}: no text
instead. The help page doesn't seem to be of much use, either, since that would entail having to modify the template itself, which I'm nowhere near experienced enough to do.

Hello. Can someone kindly advise on these questions? Thank you.
-Is there an official or unofficial limit on the length that an article may reach, and on the length of additions made by editors, if those additions are all documented and sourced with appropriate citations?
-Does the degree of notability of the subject come into this, e.g. - an Andy Warhol article can be very long while that of a lesser known artist should not be too long? What is the appropriate length, roughly speaking, if there is one? It seems that in some cases there is information that could be added on a subject that would in fact increase their level of notability to some meaningful degree. I realize this is somewhat subjective.
-If an editor is aware of good sources regarding a subject who was an artist many years ago, for example, can the editor significantly expand the size of an entry with appropriate, documented information?
-Similarly, is there an official or unofficial limit on the number of images that can be added if the subject of the article is an artist and it’s the artists’ work being added? Of course there is a standard of reasonableness and appropriateness that should be followed, but is there a specific guideline a new editor should be aware of?
-In terms of adding information on a subject, it feels somewhat more complex when the editor is or was in fact related to the subject directly. If the conflict of interest is disclosed with each edit and the added material is documented, is this sufficient to avoid violating any rules of editing on Wikipedia?

Hello, this is my draft that I processed tonight so I couldn't finish it, you say there are a lot of music sharing sites but since it's a musical artist... it's completely normal...
It is said that for an instrumentalist to be considered notable, the latter must make releases with a label, which is the case of ZephyrMusic (all his achievements are available on major recognized music platforms)
In addition, his YouTube channel is mentioned as OAC by YouTube and his Audiomack page mentions him as "Authenticated artist" therefore he is indeed a musical artist, who shares public content, he is recognized by major music platforms, otherwise it would not have the mentions described above, they are not distributed to anyone. It is affiliated with large distributors TuneCore and Amuse which are themselves recognized by the biggest music platforms.
If you look into his Instagram, you might get a lot of attention from notable accounts or artists. Knowing that his career started not even 2 months ago... it's a very good start
With all this I think he deserves his place on Wikipedia, of course we can't compare him to David Guetta or Ava Max but he is still an artist who has proven himself.
I worked a lot on the draft so that it was of the best possible quality (presentation, spelling, etc.), and I am aware of the eligibility criteria for an article, otherwise I would not have wasted my time. to recall this article. Elsasux ( talk) 08:42, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Hey Guys ! Im a new editor in wikipedia . I want ask is there a problem to add images for tables or not ,cause i didnt see any problem in any tables in wikipedia except for pages like Air force of countries which if you add any image its getting reverted by editor named Fox52 . He said that ,because of the formating issues ,but didnt explain . I want know what issues ? And why only there ?
Also there is problem with details section of tables sometimes . While there is no problem adding more details in some pages in others little bit information like even 1 sentence getting reverted by some editor and i dont see again to make any sense to me .

I think this appropriately falls within the scope of copy editors, but it seems to be confusing enough that quite a few copy editors may not recognize the misuse of these terms.
For background, note that there are the words "incident", "incidence", and "instance". Each of these exists in both singular and plural forms. Generally, "incident" and "incidence" are not interchangeable, but "incident" and "instance" may be.
The biggest confusion regards "incidence" being written in place of "incidents" (as these are homonyms) and then being converted to the plural form "incidences".
Anyway, I would like a suggestion as to how best to draw the attention of the copy editors to this issue. Thank you. Fabrickator ( talk) 20:27, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi! One of our candidates running for US Congress in NY's amended District 21, Matt Castelli, does not have a Wikipedia page. I think it would be hard for his campaign staff to write one, but I am unaffiliated with his campaign in any way, but think he should have a Wikipedia page. Where would I start? And, does having won a primary and running for a congressional seat qualify a person for the levels of notability required? If so, I'd like to get started, but notice there are standard formats -- where would I find guidance on how to get started with that? Thanks for your help!

I am trying to improve Wikipedia's entries on the history of naval architecture in Great Britain. I am coming up against a quandary relating to the School of Naval Architecture founded 1811 and disbanded in 1837 (it's important to know for background that the school was part of the Royal Naval College and the School for Naval Architecture from 1816).
My quandary is this: because of the school's history, there are essentially two possible pages where information on the school could be added and the search redirects readers to different pages depending on their search term: there is one redirect for searches for the 'School for Naval Architecture' to the 'Royal School of Naval Architecture' page and another redirect for searches for 'Royal Naval College and the School for Naval Architecture' to the 'Royal Naval Academy' page.
The redirects are making it confusing for editors to know which page to update (which could lead to unnecessary duplication of effort and information) and for readers to know where to find information. I believe there are two solutions: 1. the information on the 1811-1837 school of naval architecture should be shifted off the 'Royal School of Naval Architecture' page and onto the 'Royal Naval Academy' page and a redirect notice added to inform readers. 2. a new page for the school of naval architecture 1811-1837 should be created with redirects added to both the 'Royal School of Naval Architecture' page and the 'Royal School of Naval Architecture' page.
I am new to this and so would appreciate some learnèd advice from experienced editors on this specific case. And more broadly is there a policy on duplication? Is there a policy on redirects? what kind of advice is there on creating new pages for institutions/ individuals/ theories etc which are intertwined with information contained on other pages.

While working on several "Romania in year xxxx" articles I see some with many events per month. Today, just for fun, I made a simple sidebar template here.

{{

always adds {{

{{replace|{{BD ToC|events}}|clear:both|}}
. It works fine for me if there is room to the left of the right-floating content. If the screen is too narrow then it moves down. It stays nicely to the left if inline-block is also removed: {{replace|{{replace|{{BD ToC|events}}|clear:both|}}|display: inline-block|}}
. The {{
replace}} code is not for permanent use but just testing. Clear can also affect births and deaths.
1966#Deaths has huge whitespace before the heading. That's currently because somebody added {{clear}}
but they probably did because otherwise {{BDToC|deaths}}
would have made whitespace in a worse place. (The births section should have fewer or smaller images but that's another discussion). Our discussion could affect many year articles so I have posted a notification at

Hello,
So I have a draft article here - /info/en/?search=Draft:Duchess_International_Hospital - and approached the wikipedia help channel ( https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.libera.chat/wikipedia-en-help?nick=MagentaZebra90) for an initial review and this contributor +Jeske_Couriano, immediately marked it as an x11. If I wasnt sure, I would have said this person (I really think it was bot, as the conversation was quite aggresive) did this cos the article was 'Nigerian' - and I dont want to think so.
So I'm hoping someone else can provide help on how to go about this; it seems this contributor/admin is obviously just wielding their power. After I had provided feedback on how aggresive and unhelpful this person was in providing actual things to be done, I had gotten this threat - "Keep it up and I will stop this source search right now and leave you in the lurch."

Hi, I have been trying for 30 minutes to fix the diagrams.net article where it has Wikidata, which is for some reason inserting dozens and dozens of dates.

I tried to use the Adobe Photoshop article’s use of Wikidata as a baseline, but even when I copy-paste the correct Wikidata P’s from that article, there is still a syntax error.

was instructing it to grab all the release date (P577) properties, which it was doing. I tried adding |single
and that produced just one date, but it was the oldest, which is no use. I have tried |preferred
instead - it would make sense if the latest date were the preferred one, but I don't know how "preferred" is determined. It is now correctly producing no date - correctly, because the last three releases in
the Wikidata item have no dates stored. Perhaps you could add the date of the last release to the Wikidata item, and see if that gets reflected in the infobox.

I copyedited a little, my edit was reverted, which I understand, the user who reverted my edit copyedited more, and then removed the tag "needs copyedit." The article is better now, but it's still... not a good article? Specifically, there are way too many subheadings (this was a problem long before I saw the article). Given that I'm not an expert on the clearly sensitive topic, I'm hesitant to make these changes myself, so I'd like to tag it somehow so that others with more expertise in either the subject or Wikipedia editing can fix it. However, I don't understand the tag system (I've already attempted to research it, and found myself in hopelessly over my head, although if there's a beginner-friendly guide, I would love to know) so I don't know what tag to use. I don't want to get in an unnecessary disagreement with the other editor by just putting back the same "needs copyedit" tag. I don't even know if that would be the relevant tag anymore! Please advise.

I have been trying to improve the page Repressed memory which I believe, based on pretty extensive sourcing at this point, misrepresents the expert consensus on the issue, in part by conflating the concepts of repressed memories/ dissociative amnesia more generally with the specific issue of (likely false) memories recovered via recovered-memory therapy. In fact, I was kind of shocked to be told at one point that the page is actually supposed to be about only those memories recovered via fringe therapies. I pointed out that the page doesn't read that way to me, and furthermore that the sources cited, which I have at this point gone over pretty extensively, do not say that either. I also suggested that if that was indeed the intended meaning it might help to remove the content that seemed to be about repressed memories/dissociative amnesia more generally and merge the rest into recovered-memory therapy so as to make that meaning clearer.
A few things I want to point out: First, I'm a noob and I completely admit to making some faux pas. I posted a massive wall of text that my academe-poisoned brain thought would be helpful (abstracts! entire passages quoted!) and clearly had the opposite effect. It's not my best skill, but I am genuinely trying to be more concise. I also think I let my frustration get the best of me, particularly as I began to feel dismissed and condescended to, and at few points was probably... well to be honest a bit b*tchy. Also working on that too .
Finally, and I kind of hate to do this, I swear I'm not trying to pull some credentialism here, but... well, I do have expertise in this area. I am a graduate student in cultural anthropology with a focus on philosophy of science, psychiatry and specifically the analysis of disputes and controversies in psychiatry. I bring this up for two reasons: (1) I may be totally off here, but I've gotten the feeling that the editors active on the page are in the habit of assuming any and all criticism could only possibly be coming from quacks who support fringe therapies. Maybe that usually is the case, I don't know. But that is not my argument and I have relied heavily on peer-review secondary sources. (2) Neither am I trying to do original research. The extensive review of the research literature I've done for this over the past week has convinced me to incorporate it into my thesis. I don't mean this to pull credentialism but rather to say that I have a thesis to do my own original research and synthesis in and a committee of lovely advisors I get to subject to that research. I do not need and am not trying to use Wikipedia as a platform for that research. I am trying to bring it's coverage of these issues into line with expert consensus.
Ugh. I've gotten hit with WP:WALL enough recently that I'm terrified this is too long. I just don't know how else to go over the relevant context. Apologies if I've screwed it up again.

Hello, I am making edits on /info/en/?search=Germanwatch and the page has sections for the reports that they publish. Although CCPI report has a page on it’s own, it has a small section also on Germanwatch page. I was thinking to add similar sections to Henley and Partners page adding short information about each report with citations. I was thinking of dividing the Publication and Conferences section into three parts. Part 1 for Publications. In this section, I was thinking to add multiple subsections to expand on the reports and surveys similar to the Germanwatch page. Part 2 for Conferences. In this section, include the one conference that they conduct. Part 3 for CSR. In this section, to mention the awards that the company gives out. My question is 1. Is there a limit on how much we should elaborate about the reports? I was thinking of minimally one line about the reports along with their citations. 2. For the awards, is CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) the right name to the section? If I name the section as Awards, that would be misleading, so CSR seemed correct to me.

I cannot find anything regarding this except some small debate about this from 8.5 years ago where the main argument for deletion was probably lack of google search results but this is not the case anymore, and that debate did not cover creation protection. I am not particularly interested with topics covered/to be covered in those articles, just want to improve my understanding how Wikipedia works.

Hello! In this article, I have tried to simplify a wikilink using the pipe trick, but after I click "Publish changes", there is no trace of the edit and nothing appears in the history of edits nor in my list of contributions.
Things work correctly as usual in other articles/pages.
Do you have any idea what would prevent this article from being updated? Thanks! ► LowLevel73 (talk) 22:19, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
[[Milburn (band)|Milburn]]
to [[Milburn (band)|]]
then it expands back to [[Milburn (band)|Milburn]]
when you click "Publish changes". If this was your only change then the code would be identical before and after your edit. That means it would be a
null edit which leaves no trace in the page history or anywhere else. Is that what you did with this or another existing link in the article?

I wrote a new article on "Consumer Compliance" back in April and it was rejected. I rewrote it and resubmitted it last month and it was rejected again; there was not much feedback as to why it was rejected but an editor is looking into it and said they would provide some feedback soon. Consumer compliance and consumer protection content is important to include on Wikipedia since current coverage of these areas is limited on the site. Would it be possible to add my "Consumer Compliance" article content to the existing "Consumer Protection" page? They are distinct topics but are related enough that combining the two entries might be a reasonable solution. The "Consumer Protection" page warrants expansion and updates. I could start working on that as well. Thanks in advance for your advice. Carchias ( talk) 12:39, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.None of your references meet that standard. They all consists of variations on "According to FandomWire . . ." Cullen328 ( talk) 23:27, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
OpticalGMG, None of your sources meet all three standards: reliable and independent and devoting significant coverage to FandomWire. Cullen328 ( talk) 00:28, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
My reading, OpticalGMG, is that "Social Blade" seems to be reliable for the numerical information that it provides about some websites, but not for the same kind of information that it provides about others. And that if it provides information (however reliably) about a website, then this does not contribute to indicating that the website is notable. -- Hoary ( talk) 00:34, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

The wiki page "Wikipedia:Popular pages - Wikipedia"
Contains the following: "Joe Biden debuted on the list on November 12, 2020. Consolation for Donald Trump, he became the first human to reach 200 million views and overall second only after his country. More consolation for him, on January 20, 2021, he surpassed the United States for the all time lead among the ranked pages in what we know as the first change of the leading page. The 2021 storming of the United States Capitol gave him the decisive push. By notable contrast, his predecessor Barack Obama could not reach the US in two terms."
The paragraph is confusing, biased & poorly expressed. The word consolation is misused and the paragraph is written with a political bias. I would try to edit, but it's protected and I've never edited a wiki page before. Can someone help me fix this? Psychelabs ( talk) 20:38, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Nevertheless, those days Biden was not the most popular. He was outviewed by Kamala Harris. Having logged 3.5 million views on November 7 and 6.5 million the next day, she decisively entered the list (at the expense of Che Guevara) to become the second (after Alexander Hamilton) American on the list who is not President. The third became Martin Luther King in March 2022 (at the expense of Osama bin Laden).This watercooler humor is not visible to our readers, unless they search for it quite diligently, drilling quite deep. Transforming this type of "inside baseball" content into an actual encylopedia article would be almost impossible, because it would be necessary to reference it to coverage in independent reliable sources, not Wikipedia's own internal statistics.

Above is my wikipedia article on 'Udghosh' which is the annual sports festival of IIT Kanpur. The article has been rejected for the reasons shown below:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Udghosh. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.
I've added sufficient references for the information used in the article from renowned news companies such as 'Times of India'. I request your assistance in changing the references and the content in the article to get it accepted. Onkarsd ( talk) 12:18, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
I have discovered that KCTV (the state broadcaster in North Korea) airs 2 sports segments on their daily program, on the second and seventh broadcasting hour. Very often these are filled by international sports such as volleyball and tennis. (You can see for yourself
here, on KCNA watch video archive. Today tennis and the premier league aired) The issue I am having is both that I am uncertain that it is neccessary, and that an archive of raw video footage is not comprehensive enough of a source. I cannot say WHEN these broadcasts started, HOW North Korea broadcasts this (Although it is likely that they might have sub licensed from the Seoul Broadcasting System, as they did for the Olympics) and what if any effects it may be having. Research on the matter is naturally difficult given the nature of the beast. The only additional info I could find on the matter comes from a seedy article by
The Sun (KCNA watch is reputable though). This would suggest that this started around 2020, which would make sense as North Korea has taken covid very seriously and may have wanted to provide entertainment for their citizens that they could enjoy at home. But again, we just don't know
So what is the best course of action here? International sports penetrating North Korea, officially no less, is a huge deal and definetly a development that should be mentioned, especially since this has become regular programming on KCTV, and that Kim Jong Un pledged to make Korea a sporting superpower. To make our lives much easier this has already been covered on the KCTV wiki page in some detail regarding these broadcasts. However not one citation was given for their information on the international football broadcasts. I am aware that I may be making a lot out of nothing here but I consider this to be one aspect of an evolving phenomenon of foreign media penetration into the DPRK since the famine of the 90s. With 88% of defectors claiming to have consumed foreign media in North Korea, and 92% of North Koreans believed to be accesing it ( see this research paper) it is becoming clear that the North Korean goverment can read between the lines. I would not be surprised if more foreign media found its way onto KCTV, especially since the spread of foreign media is already spreading faster than the state can control it. But conjecture aside in the above mentioned context I think this is important. I just don't know where this information belongs. Spraymate ( talk) 17:51, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
a huge deal and definetly a development that should be mentioned, then that is your personal opinion, which is a form of original research that is not allowed in Wikipedia articles. The difficulties of covering North Korean topics on Wikipedia are obvious, but presumably there are reliable sources based in South Korea or elsewhere that cover North Korean mass media. Those are the type of sources that you need to find in order to say or imply that this is a huge deal in a Wikipedia article. Cullen328 ( talk) 19:24, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

I believe this article should be deleted (due to WP:N, WP:V, WP:OR, and WP:Technical). But the process has defeated me.
I have previously put {{subst:Proposed deletion|concern=...}} on the article. This was reverted, then un-reverted, then marked as contested. Fair enough.
So to get discussion, I tried following the procedure here. Following the instructions in the yellow bit, I added {{subst:afd1}} at the top of the article, and the edit summary AfD: Nominated for deletion...
Then I started on the orange bit, Create the article's deletion discussion page. I missed the link for Preloaded debate (whatever that is) and clicked on the deletion discussion page link. And now the instructions just get ridiculous. Really ridiculous. Something about adding an afd2 template, choosing categories, deletion sorting lists, delsort templates, deletion logs, log pages, afd3 templates, afd notice templates on Talk pages, etc.
Concluding that there must be an easier way, I spied the Does this look too complicated? box. (Why, yes, now that you mention it, it effing does.) I activated Twinkle and followed the instructions, but when I submitted the form, it told me I couldn't proceed (something about the page already being tagged for deletion?)
I conclude that the wiki concept of blank pages + text + links has been pushed beyond all reasonable limits, and maybe WP isn't for me. Any suggestions? -- Doktor Züm ( talk) 17:41, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

This same thing seems to have been done to other older Calendars. I am attempting to undo the radical damage. It seems I must do it in steps, starting with the last)", and The second, 7oto, says about the General Roman Calendar "Add a citation of Missale Romanum (ed. typ. tertia, reimpressio emendata) as the main source of the list of celebrations inscribed in the GRC. Change celebration names to names that are used in Roman Missal (English translation from 2011). Add citations of celebration additions and changes.

The article "Russians" shows Russian populations in black and red.
It is common knowledge amongst geographers and map-makers that red is a good way to denote a problem. Occurrences of disease, forest fires, or high-traffic areas are all appropriate places for colour "red" in mapping.

And making the comment that I should not be here because I don't like What is being said is proof that you edit this site to say exactly what YOU like to hear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1003:B856:4698:787B:FF07:6784:97A7 ( talk) 11:43, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
Again, it's hard to respond to you without knowing what your specific grievance is. If it is this edit, adding a link to an opinion piece by a newspaper publisher is not "verification". We are looking for independent reliable sources with a reputation of fact checking and editorial oversight, which an opinion piece does not usually have. No, I don't want to read what I want to hear, I want to read a summary of independent reliable sources. 331dot ( talk) 12:25, 8 September 2022 (UTC) Independent reliable sources have been included in many edits that people have made on Wikipedia. The problem seems to be that Wikipedia does not consider any source that has a conservative view reliable, and the liberal editors are always there to inforce their beliefs instead of respecting the freedom of speech that so many in this country have died for. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1003:B856:4698:787B:FF07:6784:97A7 ( talk) 13:01, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for wanting to help me, as I want to help you to, and I am happy to come halfway to collaborate as I hope you and others of your mindset are as well. Your comment of " You misunderstand freedom of speech, see WP:FREESPEECH. Free speech means that the government will not punish you for your speech, not that private entities cannot do so." Seems to be the problem that I was having....I made the mistake of believing that everyone has the right to post the truth on this site as long as it has reliable sources but as you stated this is a private entitie. I guess my only suggestion would be that perhaps the mission statement should be : About Wikipedia " Free speech means that the government will not punish you for your speech, not that private entities such as Wikipedia cannot do so." INSTEAD OF About Wikipedia " Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing." — Jimmy Wales Obviously the sum of all knowledge that you are giving is slanted to conform to fit your beliefs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1003:B856:4698:787B:FF07:6784:97A7 ( talk) 13:31, 8 September 2022 (UTC) To 2600.

Dear Editor,
In China, we celebrate Chongyang Festival (Double Ninth Festival) for thousands of years. It has always been dedicated to celebrating the elders, and grandparents in our history. In the 1980s, the festival was set official as Seniors Day by the Chinese government. as a school, we promote it to children for showing their love and appreciation to grandparents and the seniors in our community. it is the oldest Grandparents’ day in the world. It is on the ninth day of the ninth lunar calendar. This year it falls on the 4th of October. We hope society will celebrate the special time for the grandparents and elders just like how we celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day. Hope you can add China's Grandparents Day - Chongyang Festival (Double Ninth Festival) Seniors Day to the "Grandparents Day around the World page on Wikipedia. Much appreciated.
More information about the festival can be found here: https://wenlinchineseschool.org.uk/chongyang2022.htm
The URL for the page that I refer to is: /info/en/?search=Grandparents%27_Day
I look forward to hearing from you.

How do I place a biographical entry on Wiki, please? 88.111.236.134 ( talk) 15:40, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi - my turn again to ask a question. I have hundreds of articles on my watch list, and every now and then I come across a suspicious edit. Recently, it's been brand new editors who are doing rapid edits, and seem to have a decent understanding of syntax, policies and edit summaries. Of course they are socks, but there's no easily identifiable other known co-sock to bring to SPI. While sometimes disruptive, it's not necessarily clearly vandalism either, but ranges from editors doing multiple rapid Wiki-links (to get autoconfirmed obviously), using Twinkle to bring articles to AfD, or adding controversies in rapid succession, which hints at a more sinister motive, such as potentially trying to charge businesses to remove the controversies. Rather than just pinging editors I know that combat this type of editing, is there a place to report these accounts so they can be checkusered?

I am in a big dilemma. Please help me. Yesterday I wrote the following comment on the article [1] I've been working on so far, quote: "Regarding the two wordpress sources. These have been changed with reliable sources. Regarding the commercial source. This was suppressed, not being necessary anyway, since it is clearly shown that the book mentioned by Borbely was published in France, being an additional reason for notability to announce the future appearance of a book. What I can't understand is something else entirely. This time I ask for your help as a user because I am in a dilemma.Entered the URL address along with the name of the person who reviewed, but also the title of the publication and the page where the review is located, thinking that it is enough. I did this because I understood that it does not matter that the reviews are written in another language. I thought it was easy for anyone to put the review on google translate and find out what is written there. The sources I indicated represent the most important Romanian cultural publications. I don't understand why you put the label with: "This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified", once that the sources posted by me are reliable and especially can be very easily verified. Can you show me one source out of many that would not be reliable? The fact that those who have to give a solution do not want to read the sources on the grounds that they are in another language does not mean that the sources are not reliable. Those who wrote the reviews to which there are URLs are the most important literary critics of Romania, recognized as such by Wikipedia. Their reviews are in the most important Romanian publications. What is written in them shows facts that support Cerin's work. Each review clearly and unequivocally shows the book it refers to and claims special things about it. You just had to download them on any google translate and you would have immediately had the review in English. Let me understand that if I entered the titles of the books that the reviews refer to and two or three words about what they say, wouldn't you have translated the reviews to see what was written in them and would you have made the decisions only after some words? If you had translated them, why don't you translate them now and you would have exactly the same result? How can you say that the sources that lead to the reviews are not reliable once you have not even translated to see what is written in those reviews that the sources lead you to? Sorin Cerin is currently the most appreciated writer by the most important literary critics. The reviews about Cerin are not just passing passages, they stretch over pages of literary criticism, showing that Cerin is one of the most important contemporary writers. I wrote all this because Wikipedia asks us to let the reviews about the writers speak for themselves, thus reinforcing the neutral point of view. Once the literary critics write about Cerin's work more than laudatory, how can I show all this? Isn't it better for the reader to access the respective review and make up his own mind?. The dilemma is all the greater as those who write about Cerin have praised him. Asking me to write what exactly these literary critics write about Cerin would mean praising Cerin, even in the two or three words, a fact that goes against Wikipedia and the neutral point of view. Please also give me your opinions on those written by me" end the quote.
Can someone explain to me how to write the few words from the existing reviews about this author, but especially how to place the books that the reviews are talking about? Should I write next to each review the books it refers to, and if several reviews also refer to the same book, should I repeat the title of the respective book? When I mean how to write the few words about the review, I want to know if they can be laudatory as well as the respective review or not? If no, it does not mean that it does not reflect what is written in the review, and if yes, it means that I am breaking Wikipedia's rules regarding the neutral point of view. Thank you for your help.

Hi there! In an attempt to draft an article I was working on in my Sandbox, I accidentally drafted my whole sandbox, including the history for the entire ~8 months I've been using it ( link). I tried putting it back, but somehow managed to make an entirely new Sandbox in the process and now I can't just move the original Sandbox back to where it should be. I read Wikipedia:Moving a page and Wikipedia:Requested moves, but I'm a little confused on where to put my request. Would someone be able to point me in the right direction?

I was going to report this at WP:ANI, but figured Teahouse might be a better place first (if I figured wrong and such cases belong to WP:ANI or elsewhere, please let me know).
I spotted by chance a user whose whole activity (I checked ca. 20 edits) is either changing correct grammar and punctuation to incorrect, or making unnecessary wikilinks (often self-referencing an article). My request to stop damaging WP seemed to have effect – there was no response, but this daily activity has stopped so far: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/VickyBenz
There are a couple of points I'd like to raise in this regard.
1. While many of his/her edits were reverted by now, many are still there – not because they are all good, but rather because noone noticed or doesn't care. I think all remaining edits must be reverted (I haven't seen a single good one, recent and first edits included).
2. Doesn't software which WP runs on include a utility which would analyze edits and report suspicious activity to draw attention to them, so a human admin can notice it immediately and cut it short, preventing massive damage as it happened with this user? Cases like spoiling grammar or bad wikilinking (at least self-referencing) are fairly easy to catch, after all, and a good tracker can cover much more than such trivial cases. 188.66.34.125 ( talk) 07:29, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
It occurred to me that the best option for such users would be getting a supervisor/mentor; not one merely answering questions, but one "watching" edits of a mentee so as to revert bad ones immediately and provide some guidance, and by doing so prevent massive content damage and teach newbies wanted and effective editing of Wikipedia in a shorter time span than in mentorless mode.
Can anyone here give VickyBenz pointers as to where and how to ask for a mentor, as I've personally never been involved in it and can't really advise on this topic?
Also left a note for Growth Team – I agree with Pelagic they'd better be aware of such cases and it's obvious we need more effective measures to prevent something like this from happening: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Growth_Team_features#Some_newcomers_need_a_lot_more_attention
And a question: I'm thinking of submitting formal proposals at Village Pump for introduction of edit analyzer and supervision for problematic newcomers; any pointers to what I should read first prior to posting there? 188.66.34.204 ( talk) 17:59, 30 August 2022 (UTC)

Are categories which are sorted "by city" allowed to include towns and other non-city Districts of England?
Or should a new category be created for the towns and other non-city Districts of England?
I find that there's a lot of non-Wikipedia websites and videos which include British places like towns, villages and even neighbourhoods in "British city lists".
And now Wikipedia seems to be doing the same, by confusing already confused mainly non-Brit people, into thinking that those non-cities are actually cities, just like with the county and region of Greater London which is not a city, has never been a city, and never will be a city, contrary to what Wikipedia claims.
I've looked at the following category page before and never noticed that it includes towns, because they've either been recently added, or most likely because I wasn't paying attention
Category:Films set in England by city
Those towns are Blackpool, Hartlepool, Luton, Oldham, Whitby and Windsor.
There's also the town of Brighton category which I was going to rename to the city of Brighton and Hove category, however that wasn't an option, so I redirected it instead expecting all the entries to move too, but they haven't, so could someone fix it so that Category:Films set in Brighton gets merged into Category:Films set in Brighton and Hove?

I submitted an article " Draft:Adly Thoma" and got rejected (npov - Submission is not written in a formal, neutral encyclopedic tone). I got this comment from the reviewer (Purely promotional. See WP:COI.) I reviewed the tone and removed any promotional language, sticked only to sentences stating facts. yet the same rejection came for the second time with this comment (This is still promotional, and you have not responded to the COI query here and on your talk page.)
As far as I understand the COI comes if i have a relation with the person I'm talking about and I don't. I'm not sure what is the COI query mentioned or what is it that i'm supposed to do next.

Why do my editing changes get constantly undone! For example, the 'Location' of the Yousuf Karsh photograph of Winston Churchill should be where the image was originally photographed which was the Speaker's Chamber of the Speaker of the House of Commons in Ottawa, NOT in the Fairmont Chateau Laurier in the same city. There are two Wikipedia editors continuously undoing this fact. It seems widely assumed the 'original' of this photograph is located in that hotel. Wrong!

Hello Danial Bass. You may want to suggest to the editor that this should be addressed at Wikimedia Commons, which is where the photo was uploaded. Beside the photo caption is a little “box” to be clicked. Next click on the blue “More details” button. On the left of the page is a menu to choose from. “Contact us” will go to a page that has a “Problems” link. On the next page can be found “Copyright violations”, as well as “Images of yourself”, that has a request removal link. A message can be left at either of those pages. Perhaps the gentleman could be reminded that everyone he communicates with is a volunteer, who did not upload the photo in question. Being polite to those he wants help from may be to his advantage. Thanks for trying to resolve the difficulty. Karenthewriter ( talk) 22:33, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

However, something clearly went wrong, and I don't see the difference in formatting that's causing this.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. - Toast for Teddy ( talk) 23:51, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello to anyone who reads this 🙂 I have been editing on Wikipedia for a little more than six months now and have made just over 1,000 edits, but I have had a question ever since I joined which I would like a little clarification on, so I thought I would finally ask it.
I have created and worked on multiple 'year in country' articles, in this case 2022 in Vatican City, and there are some events that I would like to add to the article such as the nation being invited by Switzerland and Ukraine to attend a "Ukraine Recovery" conference in Lugano (citation here) but, not to sound dumb, can I include this event because it did not take place 'in' the Vatican? The event directly involves the nation in question, but not taking place inside of the Vatican's borders, can and should this be included in the article? I thought I would ask, thanks!

Hi. I'm trying to write "47", the route's number, in
Template:Infobox road's "route" parameter. What this is supposed to do is autogenerate the expressway's full Chinese name, which is "嫩江–丹东高速公路" (Nenjiang-Dandong Expressway). However, since this is a new highway, the template fails to register, and instead, I receive the error message [undefined] Error: {{Lang}}: no text
instead. The help page doesn't seem to be of much use, either, since that would entail having to modify the template itself, which I'm nowhere near experienced enough to do.

Hello. Can someone kindly advise on these questions? Thank you.
-Is there an official or unofficial limit on the length that an article may reach, and on the length of additions made by editors, if those additions are all documented and sourced with appropriate citations?
-Does the degree of notability of the subject come into this, e.g. - an Andy Warhol article can be very long while that of a lesser known artist should not be too long? What is the appropriate length, roughly speaking, if there is one? It seems that in some cases there is information that could be added on a subject that would in fact increase their level of notability to some meaningful degree. I realize this is somewhat subjective.
-If an editor is aware of good sources regarding a subject who was an artist many years ago, for example, can the editor significantly expand the size of an entry with appropriate, documented information?
-Similarly, is there an official or unofficial limit on the number of images that can be added if the subject of the article is an artist and it’s the artists’ work being added? Of course there is a standard of reasonableness and appropriateness that should be followed, but is there a specific guideline a new editor should be aware of?
-In terms of adding information on a subject, it feels somewhat more complex when the editor is or was in fact related to the subject directly. If the conflict of interest is disclosed with each edit and the added material is documented, is this sufficient to avoid violating any rules of editing on Wikipedia?

Hello, this is my draft that I processed tonight so I couldn't finish it, you say there are a lot of music sharing sites but since it's a musical artist... it's completely normal...
It is said that for an instrumentalist to be considered notable, the latter must make releases with a label, which is the case of ZephyrMusic (all his achievements are available on major recognized music platforms)
In addition, his YouTube channel is mentioned as OAC by YouTube and his Audiomack page mentions him as "Authenticated artist" therefore he is indeed a musical artist, who shares public content, he is recognized by major music platforms, otherwise it would not have the mentions described above, they are not distributed to anyone. It is affiliated with large distributors TuneCore and Amuse which are themselves recognized by the biggest music platforms.
If you look into his Instagram, you might get a lot of attention from notable accounts or artists. Knowing that his career started not even 2 months ago... it's a very good start
With all this I think he deserves his place on Wikipedia, of course we can't compare him to David Guetta or Ava Max but he is still an artist who has proven himself.
I worked a lot on the draft so that it was of the best possible quality (presentation, spelling, etc.), and I am aware of the eligibility criteria for an article, otherwise I would not have wasted my time. to recall this article. Elsasux ( talk) 08:42, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

I think this appropriately falls within the scope of copy editors, but it seems to be confusing enough that quite a few copy editors may not recognize the misuse of these terms.
For background, note that there are the words "incident", "incidence", and "instance". Each of these exists in both singular and plural forms. Generally, "incident" and "incidence" are not interchangeable, but "incident" and "instance" may be.
The biggest confusion regards "incidence" being written in place of "incidents" (as these are homonyms) and then being converted to the plural form "incidences".
Anyway, I would like a suggestion as to how best to draw the attention of the copy editors to this issue. Thank you. Fabrickator ( talk) 20:27, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

I am trying to improve Wikipedia's entries on the history of naval architecture in Great Britain. I am coming up against a quandary relating to the School of Naval Architecture founded 1811 and disbanded in 1837 (it's important to know for background that the school was part of the Royal Naval College and the School for Naval Architecture from 1816).
My quandary is this: because of the school's history, there are essentially two possible pages where information on the school could be added and the search redirects readers to different pages depending on their search term: there is one redirect for searches for the 'School for Naval Architecture' to the 'Royal School of Naval Architecture' page and another redirect for searches for 'Royal Naval College and the School for Naval Architecture' to the 'Royal Naval Academy' page.
The redirects are making it confusing for editors to know which page to update (which could lead to unnecessary duplication of effort and information) and for readers to know where to find information. I believe there are two solutions: 1. the information on the 1811-1837 school of naval architecture should be shifted off the 'Royal School of Naval Architecture' page and onto the 'Royal Naval Academy' page and a redirect notice added to inform readers. 2. a new page for the school of naval architecture 1811-1837 should be created with redirects added to both the 'Royal School of Naval Architecture' page and the 'Royal School of Naval Architecture' page.
I am new to this and so would appreciate some learnèd advice from experienced editors on this specific case. And more broadly is there a policy on duplication? Is there a policy on redirects? what kind of advice is there on creating new pages for institutions/ individuals/ theories etc which are intertwined with information contained on other pages.

{{

always adds {{

{{replace|{{BD ToC|events}}|clear:both|}}
. It works fine for me if there is room to the left of the right-floating content. If the screen is too narrow then it moves down. It stays nicely to the left if inline-block is also removed: {{replace|{{replace|{{BD ToC|events}}|clear:both|}}|display: inline-block|}}
. The {{
replace}} code is not for permanent use but just testing. Clear can also affect births and deaths.
1966#Deaths has huge whitespace before the heading. That's currently because somebody added {{clear}}
but they probably did because otherwise {{BDToC|deaths}}
would have made whitespace in a worse place. (The births section should have fewer or smaller images but that's another discussion). Our discussion could affect many year articles so I have posted a notification at

Hello,
So I have a draft article here - /info/en/?search=Draft:Duchess_International_Hospital - and approached the wikipedia help channel ( https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.libera.chat/wikipedia-en-help?nick=MagentaZebra90) for an initial review and this contributor +Jeske_Couriano, immediately marked it as an x11. If I wasnt sure, I would have said this person (I really think it was bot, as the conversation was quite aggresive) did this cos the article was 'Nigerian' - and I dont want to think so.
So I'm hoping someone else can provide help on how to go about this; it seems this contributor/admin is obviously just wielding their power. After I had provided feedback on how aggresive and unhelpful this person was in providing actual things to be done, I had gotten this threat - "Keep it up and I will stop this source search right now and leave you in the lurch."

and that produced just one date, but it was the oldest, which is no use. I have tried |preferred
instead - it would make sense if the latest date were the preferred one, but I don't know how "preferred" is determined. It is now correctly producing no date - correctly, because the last three releases in
the Wikidata item have no dates stored. Perhaps you could add the date of the last release to the Wikidata item, and see if that gets reflected in the infobox.

I copyedited a little, my edit was reverted, which I understand, the user who reverted my edit copyedited more, and then removed the tag "needs copyedit." The article is better now, but it's still... not a good article? Specifically, there are way too many subheadings (this was a problem long before I saw the article). Given that I'm not an expert on the clearly sensitive topic, I'm hesitant to make these changes myself, so I'd like to tag it somehow so that others with more expertise in either the subject or Wikipedia editing can fix it. However, I don't understand the tag system (I've already attempted to research it, and found myself in hopelessly over my head, although if there's a beginner-friendly guide, I would love to know) so I don't know what tag to use. I don't want to get in an unnecessary disagreement with the other editor by just putting back the same "needs copyedit" tag. I don't even know if that would be the relevant tag anymore! Please advise.

I have been trying to improve the page Repressed memory which I believe, based on pretty extensive sourcing at this point, misrepresents the expert consensus on the issue, in part by conflating the concepts of repressed memories/ dissociative amnesia more generally with the specific issue of (likely false) memories recovered via recovered-memory therapy. In fact, I was kind of shocked to be told at one point that the page is actually supposed to be about only those memories recovered via fringe therapies. I pointed out that the page doesn't read that way to me, and furthermore that the sources cited, which I have at this point gone over pretty extensively, do not say that either. I also suggested that if that was indeed the intended meaning it might help to remove the content that seemed to be about repressed memories/dissociative amnesia more generally and merge the rest into recovered-memory therapy so as to make that meaning clearer.
A few things I want to point out: First, I'm a noob and I completely admit to making some faux pas. I posted a massive wall of text that my academe-poisoned brain thought would be helpful (abstracts! entire passages quoted!) and clearly had the opposite effect. It's not my best skill, but I am genuinely trying to be more concise. I also think I let my frustration get the best of me, particularly as I began to feel dismissed and condescended to, and at few points was probably... well to be honest a bit b*tchy. Also working on that too .
Finally, and I kind of hate to do this, I swear I'm not trying to pull some credentialism here, but... well, I do have expertise in this area. I am a graduate student in cultural anthropology with a focus on philosophy of science, psychiatry and specifically the analysis of disputes and controversies in psychiatry. I bring this up for two reasons: (1) I may be totally off here, but I've gotten the feeling that the editors active on the page are in the habit of assuming any and all criticism could only possibly be coming from quacks who support fringe therapies. Maybe that usually is the case, I don't know. But that is not my argument and I have relied heavily on peer-review secondary sources. (2) Neither am I trying to do original research. The extensive review of the research literature I've done for this over the past week has convinced me to incorporate it into my thesis. I don't mean this to pull credentialism but rather to say that I have a thesis to do my own original research and synthesis in and a committee of lovely advisors I get to subject to that research. I do not need and am not trying to use Wikipedia as a platform for that research. I am trying to bring it's coverage of these issues into line with expert consensus.
Ugh. I've gotten hit with WP:WALL enough recently that I'm terrified this is too long. I just don't know how else to go over the relevant context. Apologies if I've screwed it up again.

Hello, I am making edits on /info/en/?search=Germanwatch and the page has sections for the reports that they publish. Although CCPI report has a page on it’s own, it has a small section also on Germanwatch page. I was thinking to add similar sections to Henley and Partners page adding short information about each report with citations. I was thinking of dividing the Publication and Conferences section into three parts. Part 1 for Publications. In this section, I was thinking to add multiple subsections to expand on the reports and surveys similar to the Germanwatch page. Part 2 for Conferences. In this section, include the one conference that they conduct. Part 3 for CSR. In this section, to mention the awards that the company gives out. My question is 1. Is there a limit on how much we should elaborate about the reports? I was thinking of minimally one line about the reports along with their citations. 2. For the awards, is CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) the right name to the section? If I name the section as Awards, that would be misleading, so CSR seemed correct to me.

I cannot find anything regarding this except some small debate about this from 8.5 years ago where the main argument for deletion was probably lack of google search results but this is not the case anymore, and that debate did not cover creation protection.

Katherine Hayles work, Electronic Literature, from the University of Notre Dam Press. But I have royally screwed it up so far. Can anyone help me undo my mess? How should I be citing the same work over and over again? Should I be citing a different page each time? I want to note where each description is found. Help? List of electronic literature authors, critics, and works. I tried the citation builder, but not sure it worked well? Thanks LoveElectronicLiterature ( talk) 23:32, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
{{cite book}}: Check |isbn= value: invalid character (help)errors. Removing the

At Perejil Island, I reverted an edit that was questionable but forgot to add a msg to the editor's talk page. Editor revised again. I reverted again and then added a message to the user talk page. They asked for more info, but before I could reply, they revised again, and that's where it stands in the article. I then wrote an extended reply at Talk:Perejil Island, with a peace offering of sorts?
I'm not sure if I'm doing any of this right. I was literally "island hopping" and admittedly made some mistakes when first reverting, not realizing that this island was so touchy, not leaving a msg, etc.
Thanks, Teahouse! Appreciate y'all. – LumonRedacts 01:39, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

I'm a newbie in Wikipedia, but I have read the basic guidelines and understand that promotion of private companies and persons is strictly regulated and prohibited. This user is called: Timtempleton. I nominated for deletion two of their articles ( Bev company and Ragy Thomas) and I got blamed for being hater, persecutor and a sock-puppet farm whatever it is. I thinks this user's behaviour is suspicious, as they try to blame me and spawn conspiracy theories instead of providing links or perfecting their pages. The feeling that this user is on Wikipedia not just for spreading of free knowledge, but for making money and pushing personal not neutral point of view cannot leave me so I'm here asking for some advice or investigation. 多少 战场场场 龙 ( talk) 07:16, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

then it expands back to [[Milburn (band)|Milburn]]

null edit which leaves no trace in the page history or anywhere else. Is that what you did with this or another existing link in the article?

I wrote a new article on "Consumer Compliance" back in April and it was rejected. I rewrote it and resubmitted it last month and it was rejected again; there was not much feedback as to why it was rejected but an editor is looking into it and said they would provide some feedback soon. Consumer compliance and consumer protection content is important to include on Wikipedia since current coverage of these areas is limited on the site. Would it be possible to add my "Consumer Compliance" article content to the existing "Consumer Protection" page? They are distinct topics but are related enough that combining the two entries might be a reasonable solution. The "Consumer Protection" page warrants expansion and updates. I could start working on that as well. Thanks in advance for your advice. Carchias ( talk) 12:39, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

"Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail, so that no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.None of your references meet that standard. They all consists of variations on "According to FandomWire . . ." Cullen328 ( talk) 23:27, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
OpticalGMG, None of your sources meet all three standards: reliable and independent and devoting significant coverage to FandomWire. Cullen328 ( talk) 00:28, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
My reading, OpticalGMG, is that "Social Blade" seems to be reliable for the numerical information that it provides about some websites, but not for the same kind of information that it provides about others. And that if it provides information (however reliably) about a website, then this does not contribute to indicating that the website is notable. -- Hoary ( talk) 00:34, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

The wiki page "Wikipedia:Popular pages - Wikipedia"
Contains the following: "Joe Biden debuted on the list on November 12, 2020. Consolation for Donald Trump, he became the first human to reach 200 million views and overall second only after his country. More consolation for him, on January 20, 2021, he surpassed the United States for the all time lead among the ranked pages in what we know as the first change of the leading page. The 2021 storming of the United States Capitol gave him the decisive push. By notable contrast, his predecessor Barack Obama could not reach the US in two terms."
The paragraph is confusing, biased & poorly expressed. The word consolation is misused and the paragraph is written with a political bias. I would try to edit, but it's protected and I've never edited a wiki page before. Can someone help me fix this? Psychelabs ( talk) 20:38, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
Psychelabs ( talk) 01:06, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
Nevertheless, those days Biden was not the most popular. He was outviewed by Kamala Harris. Having logged 3.5 million views on November 7 and 6.5 million the next day, she decisively entered the list (at the expense of Che Guevara) to become the second (after Alexander Hamilton) American on the list who is not President. The third became Martin Luther King in March 2022 (at the expense of Osama bin Laden).This watercooler humor is not visible to our readers, unless they search for it quite diligently, drilling quite deep. Transforming this type of "inside baseball" content into an actual encylopedia article would be almost impossible, because it would be necessary to reference it to coverage in independent reliable sources, not Wikipedia's own internal statistics.

Above is my wikipedia article on 'Udghosh' which is the annual sports festival of IIT Kanpur. The article has been rejected for the reasons shown below:
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Udghosh. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.
I've added sufficient references for the information used in the article from renowned news companies such as 'Times of India'. I request your assistance in changing the references and the content in the article to get it accepted. Onkarsd ( talk) 12:18, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
I have discovered that KCTV (the state broadcaster in North Korea) airs 2 sports segments on their daily program, on the second and seventh broadcasting hour. Very often these are filled by international sports such as volleyball and tennis. (You can see for yourself
here, on KCNA watch video archive. Today tennis and the premier league aired) The issue I am having is both that I am uncertain that it is neccessary, and that an archive of raw video footage is not comprehensive enough of a source. I cannot say WHEN these broadcasts started, HOW North Korea broadcasts this (Although it is likely that they might have sub licensed from the Seoul Broadcasting System, as they did for the Olympics) and what if any effects it may be having. Research on the matter is naturally difficult given the nature of the beast. The only additional info I could find on the matter comes from a seedy article by
The Sun (KCNA watch is reputable though). This would suggest that this started around 2020, which would make sense as North Korea has taken covid very seriously and may have wanted to provide entertainment for their citizens that they could enjoy at home. But again, we just don't know
So what is the best course of action here? International sports penetrating North Korea, officially no less, is a huge deal and definetly a development that should be mentioned, especially since this has become regular programming on KCTV, and that Kim Jong Un pledged to make Korea a sporting superpower. To make our lives much easier this has already been covered on the KCTV wiki page in some detail regarding these broadcasts. However not one citation was given for their information on the international football broadcasts. I am aware that I may be making a lot out of nothing here but I consider this to be one aspect of an evolving phenomenon of foreign media penetration into the DPRK since the famine of the 90s. With 88% of defectors claiming to have consumed foreign media in North Korea, and 92% of North Koreans believed to be accesing it ( see this research paper) it is becoming clear that the North Korean goverment can read between the lines. I would not be surprised if more foreign media found its way onto KCTV, especially since the spread of foreign media is already spreading faster than the state can control it. But conjecture aside in the above mentioned context I think this is important. I just don't know where this information belongs. Spraymate ( talk) 17:51, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
a huge deal and definetly a development that should be mentioned, then that is your personal opinion, which is a form of original research that is not allowed in Wikipedia articles. The difficulties of covering North Korean topics on Wikipedia are obvious, but presumably there are reliable sources based in South Korea or elsewhere that cover North Korean mass media. Those are the type of sources that you need to find in order to say or imply that this is a huge deal in a Wikipedia article. Cullen328 ( talk) 19:24, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

I believe this article should be deleted (due to WP:N, WP:V, WP:OR, and WP:Technical). But the process has defeated me.
I have previously put {{subst:Proposed deletion|concern=...}} on the article. This was reverted, then un-reverted, then marked as contested. Fair enough.
So to get discussion, I tried following the procedure here. Following the instructions in the yellow bit, I added {{subst:afd1}} at the top of the article, and the edit summary AfD: Nominated for deletion...
Then I started on the orange bit, Create the article's deletion discussion page. I missed the link for Preloaded debate (whatever that is) and clicked on the deletion discussion page link. And now the instructions just get ridiculous. Really ridiculous. Something about adding an afd2 template, choosing categories, deletion sorting lists, delsort templates, deletion logs, log pages, afd3 templates, afd notice templates on Talk pages, etc.
Concluding that there must be an easier way, I spied the Does this look too complicated? box. (Why, yes, now that you mention it, it effing does.) I activated Twinkle and followed the instructions, but when I submitted the form, it told me I couldn't proceed (something about the page already being tagged for deletion?)
I conclude that the wiki concept of blank pages + text + links has been pushed beyond all reasonable limits, and maybe WP isn't for me. Any suggestions? -- Doktor Züm ( talk) 17:41, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Change celebration names to names that are used in Roman Missal (English translation from 2011). Add citations of celebration additions and changes.

Hi, my name Steve Wall is linked to the Wiki page about my band The Walls. Since that page was created I have become successful as an actor. A friend recently pointed out to me that there is no Wiki entry for me and she couldn't create one, as my name is linked to The Walls page. Is there any way to unlink this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 101watts ( talk) 16:19, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
a musician who has been a reasonably prominent member of two or more independently notable ensemblesis likely to be eligible for a Wikipedia biography. Coverage in reliable sources about your acting in recent years would only add to your notability. If your friend wants to try drafting an article about you, be sure that she openly discloses the friendship. I would be happy to give her advice about the process.

Hi, just asking out of sheer curiosity and wanting to genuinely know. But considering that Britannica is a reliable source that's generally written by experts in the field. Is it wrong or not permitted to cite them in Wikipedia? (A rival encyclopaedia) - Maybe it's frowned upon but I really don't see what could be wrong about it. So wanted to ask the experts their take. Thank you. Simpleshooter99 ( talk) 05:46, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
Are there groups or guilds that work on updating pages to catalog when a person in the public eye starts spreading disinformation, anti-vaccine content, etc.? It may be a difficult task in some situations if the person is mostly posting to social media and there isn't much mainstream news coverage. Chucklehammer ( talk) 06:17, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
While trying to improve things, I came across this odd citation, and I don't know how to correct it. It was introduced at https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Garrett_Hardin&diff=prev&oldid=779132378. I would mark it citiaton needed, but it looks like there is something that could be cited, I've just no idea how. Hajile 00 ( talk) 04:08, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi! I need some help. I removed a reference in an article that pointed a blog that belongs to an editor that was already banned for promotional links.
Not only is that blog not at all credible, and not only was the edit only promotional in nature, but the very blog post cited is actually a patchwritten summary of the same Wikipedia page! This is a clear license violation and ultimately spam.
But my edits get reverted. Help? Esasura ( talk) 07:20, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
I want to create a fake Wikipedia page for the sake of alternate history worldbuilding and some people on DeviantArt recommended I use the Sandbox here on Wikipedia to do that. After making the fake page, I intend on saving it to my personal files and then deleting the fake page so as not to use up server space here.
The question I ask to all here is this: can I even save a page to my personal files? If not, is there someplace else I should go in order to do the intention I have described above? Yehiyorash ( talk) 21:02, 6 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi! How many resources 'significant coverage' exactly mean? It seems like even 4 are not enough. Dubitoergosum22 ( talk) 18:57, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material.Find sources with in-depth information about the topic, not sources that just mention it. StarryGrandma ( talk) 19:08, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
I've previously assigned "Far-right terrorism" and "Websites with far-right material" to Cloudflare's page in light of the KiwiFarms controversy. But it was removed by a user for "mischaracterizing." Can an admin look into it and hopefully reinstate the categories because I don't want to edit war with that user? Thanks! 80.198.195.72 ( talk) 15:12, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
The article "Russians" shows Russian populations in black and red.
It is common knowledge amongst geographers and map-makers that red is a good way to denote a problem. Occurrences of disease, forest fires, or high-traffic areas are all appropriate places for colour "red" in mapping. In GIS classes our professor gave an example of Floridan political groups denoting Latin populations in red as part of a racist campaign.
Where is the best place to point out this problem and advocate for an appropriate colour? Shoutsofvictory ( talk) 22:53, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Your response is exactly the type of thing that I am talking about..the fact is that Wikipedia is not about what is verified because you can include a link to verification and it is still removed. And making the comment that I should not be here because I don't like What is being said is proof that you edit this site to say exactly what YOU like to hear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1003:B856:4698:787B:FF07:6784:97A7 ( talk) 11:43, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
Again, it's hard to respond to you without knowing what your specific grievance is. If it is this edit, adding a link to an opinion piece by a newspaper publisher is not "verification". We are looking for independent reliable sources with a reputation of fact checking and editorial oversight, which an opinion piece does not usually have. No, I don't want to read what I want to hear, I want to read a summary of independent reliable sources. 331dot ( talk) 12:25, 8 September 2022 (UTC) Independent reliable sources have been included in many edits that people have made on Wikipedia. The problem seems to be that Wikipedia does not consider any source that has a conservative view reliable, and the liberal editors are always there to inforce their beliefs instead of respecting the freedom of speech that so many in this country have died for. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1003:B856:4698:787B:FF07:6784:97A7 ( talk) 13:01, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
Thank you for wanting to help me, as I want to help you to, and I am happy to come halfway to collaborate as I hope you and others of your mindset are as well. Your comment of " You misunderstand freedom of speech, see WP:FREESPEECH. Free speech means that the government will not punish you for your speech, not that private entities cannot do so." Seems to be the problem that I was having....I made the mistake of believing that everyone has the right to post the truth on this site as long as it has reliable sources but as you stated this is a private entitie. I guess my only suggestion would be that perhaps the mission statement should be : About Wikipedia " Free speech means that the government will not punish you for your speech, not that private entities such as Wikipedia cannot do so." INSTEAD OF About Wikipedia " Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing." — Jimmy Wales Obviously the sum of all knowledge that you are giving is slanted to conform to fit your beliefs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1003:B856:4698:787B:FF07:6784:97A7 ( talk) 13:31, 8 September 2022 (UTC) To 2600.

Dear Editor,
In China, we celebrate Chongyang Festival (Double Ninth Festival) for thousands of years. It has always been dedicated to celebrating the elders, and grandparents in our history. In the 1980s, the festival was set official as Seniors Day by the Chinese government. as a school, we promote it to children for showing their love and appreciation to grandparents and the seniors in our community. it is the oldest Grandparents’ day in the world. It is on the ninth day of the ninth lunar calendar. This year it falls on the 4th of October. We hope society will celebrate the special time for the grandparents and elders just like how we celebrate Mother's Day and Father's Day. Hope you can add China's Grandparents Day - Chongyang Festival (Double Ninth Festival) Seniors Day to the "Grandparents Day around the World page on Wikipedia. Much appreciated.
More information about the festival can be found here: https://wenlinchineseschool.org.uk/chongyang2022.htm
The URL for the page that I refer to is: /info/en/?search=Grandparents%27_Day
I look forward to hearing from you.

How do I place a biographical entry on Wiki, please? 88.111.236.134 ( talk) 15:40, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi - my turn again to ask a question. I have hundreds of articles on my watch list, and every now and then I come across a suspicious edit. Recently, it's been brand new editors who are doing rapid edits, and seem to have a decent understanding of syntax, policies and edit summaries. Of course they are socks, but there's no easily identifiable other known co-sock to bring to SPI. While sometimes disruptive, it's not necessarily clearly vandalism either, but ranges from editors doing multiple rapid Wiki-links (to get autoconfirmed obviously), using Twinkle to bring articles to AfD, or adding controversies in rapid succession, which hints at a more sinister motive, such as potentially trying to charge businesses to remove the controversies. Rather than just pinging editors I know that combat this type of editing, is there a place to report these accounts so they can be checkusered?

Hello,

Page link - Dan Theodorescu He is a co-editor of a major journal in his field (Bladder Cancer) as well as various academic accomplishments that should quality him for the Academic Notability designation. Could someone please let me what should be added to the current Wikipedia page?
Thank you very much!
