Dear Team
Please how to remove fake article because one of fake person created my company page 103.211.38.189 ( talk) 08:06, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
The article in question was created by an editor who has been active for ten years, and has edited and created other articles about companies in the publication business. If this about Herald Scholarly Open Access, there have been (reverted) attempts by IPs 223.230.83.118 and 203.109.95.146 to "whitewash" well-referenced criticism of the company.

Hello, I’d like to discuss how to proceed.
At the beginning of September 2022, @ Veverve began to remove lists of celebrations inscribed into various revision of the General Roman Calendar:
Now, there are some users who want to keep the celebrations lists within the articles. The celebrations lists are the core part of the article to these users (including myself). Additional information can be found in the talk pages:
There were some edit wars too because of this.
Now, I understand that Wikipedia is not a list nor a directory, however, is there no other Wikipedia policy/rule that would allow such long (but finite) lists of celebrations to be included in a Wikipedia article?
Later, as I couldn’t see a way to include the celebrations lists within the articles, I started to move the celebrations lists to my GitLab repository. @ Veverve seemed to be okay with adding a link to External links within General Roman Calendar of 1969, however, @ Elizium23 soon removed it on WP:ELNO basis. See also this discussion on this topic.
Now, please advice, how can we proceed? I simply want to have the lists of celebrations within the articles, either directly or indirectly. Is that possible? 7otto ( talk) 19:23, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

They've got a pretty big fanbase, but their work (and even whole genre) are still what you could call 'underground.' They're pretty important as a 'niche' artist and very influential in the industrial/noise scene, but the fact they never really went fully mainstream means that there aren't a lot of other big time sources referencing them; should I attempt article creation, or does this seem likely to be rejected?

Dear community,
I am reaching out for your expert advice to help solve an issue my client has landed into. Points listed below give an account of events in chronological order:
-An employee at my client's edited his company page with information to reflect new development in terms of revenue, geographical presence, etc., edited language at places to make it more suitable, added current citations for both old and new edits, organized the page with tabular layouts for sections like Board of Directors, Board members, etc.
-These edits were accepted without any issue.
-He then went on to edit the page of his company's Co-founder and chairman, and again made edits to reflect new information. The new information/edits included - information pertaining to early life and career, awards & recognition and Social work.
-These edits also got accepted without any issue.
-After two or three weeks, he developed content for another co-founder of the company, and created a page for him on Wikipedia. This time however, the page got nominated for deletion, and his profile is said to be indefinitely blocked.
-The administrator who nominated the co-founder's page for deletion also banned this editor's profile and discarded all his recent edits made on the company and company's chairman's page.
-This employee of my client's has reached out to me for help, so I am writing here to get your expert thoughts on how can I best handle this.
From my understanding and knowledge of how Wikipedia works and the policy and guidelines to edits content or to create new page, I can say that the edits made on company page and those on the co-founder page do not seem to violate any guidelines, the one concern I have though is that this employee who made the edits did not disclose his conflict of interest, which he should have done to begin with.
There is a big issue with the new page creation, because their earlier attempt I am told was rejected I think a year or two back. They tried creating the page again by changing the content to make it plain and non-promotional. Added proper reference links too. Their point is that the other co-founder (whose page got deleted) is also a prominent figure (no less than the co-founder who has the page up) and is well covered by the media; journalists and people also look for him, and there is need and a solid case to have a separate Wikipedia page for him.
I am thinking to follow the below steps to help. And please I request you all to guide me here to make the best, ethical decision:
1. Ask the client's employee to go through Wikipedia guidelines and policies thoroughly, especially the ones which led to this situation. 2. Ask the client's employee to appeal for getting his account unblocked. And in this appeal he should disclose that he had conflict of interest. And such mistakes will not be repeated. 3. Appeal to the administrator to have a closer look at the edits made on the company page and co-founder page (which all she/he rejected) and instead of rejecting everything, advise on making them better suited for Wikipedia if she/he finds there are specific issue with certain edit(s). 4. To create a page for the other co-founder, I can advice the client to first analyze if there is a solid case to have a separate page for this person, and if there is a good case, they can start by creating a page at Special:Mypage/co-founder which can allow other editors to contribute while the page gets developed, instead of controlling the content themselves.
Your advice is much appreciated. Looking forward to hear back. Thank you!
Yours faithfully,
- Fahad
PS. My apologies, I can not yet disclose the pages and editor's profile referred to here, but if you feel it is mandatory and will help resolve the issue in any way, I can put it here. Fahadmonibsiddiqui ( talk) 11:12, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello, full disclosure I am an employee of Agility Robotics, so I don't feel like I can be an objective/unbiased editor. Is there anyone who has a passion/interest in robotics who might want to evaluate if there is enough 3rd party validation to justify a page? I've laid out a sample of 3rd party coverage as the basis of my hypothesis (that it's notable enough). You can view that on my user talk page, I'd be happy to provide that background here as well if that's preferred. Another user seemed to think there was enough credible source material, and that starting a conversation in the Teahouse would be a way to possibly find objective editors who have an interest in robotics.

I came across a page ( Cedrus atlantica) written in Igbo. It turns out the user @ Winniejovita has been translating pages into Igbo. They have only started recently and only changed two pages so far. I reverted their edit to the cedar article, and the other one was already reverted.
However, I think there is a high chance that this isn't a case of purposeful vandalism, considering the effort put in to make the edits and the user's page. Therefore, I have put a notice on their talk page telling them to instead create the articles on the Igbo Wikipedia
[4]. I think they might be valuable editor for the development of that language's Wikipedia, bearing in mind that it only has around 1500 pages according to Wikidata. I'm a relatively new editor myself so if anyone more experienced has any ideas or wants to help then that would be great. I think it would be of much benefit to the Igbo Wikipedia if someone walked them through how to translate pages between different language Wikipedias so they could contribute properly.

On the List of Wikipedias page, do Wikipedia language editions with a higher number of active users regardless of the actual total size of the editions size (total article number wise), mean that the average articles themselves would on average be of higher quality in terms of information detail, etc?

I've read Help:Edit summary, WP:Edit summary legend, and WP: Editing policy. I've also read through the editing histories of a couple pages now. Tons of edits have no edit description. Is that acceptable?
There also seem to be edits where the summaries of the edits are disproportionately long for the content of the edit. What are the minimum acceptable edit summaries for ce? Is there a way to automate/semi-automate ce?
Also, is there a guide for editing practices? I have seen both instances of editors who make lots of changes in one edit, and editors who make one change per edit. The latter seems like the way to maximize # of edits. Is this just seen as editor preference? Are there arguments for one way or the other?

Dear TeaHouse:
I am still trying to figure out the approval process for a new article. Draft:Anna Frajlich. Two different editors declined my draft and provided their feedback, and then I also received another feedback from yet another, third editor. I followed all the advice and am trying to engage them in a conversation about how else I can improve the draft or have it approved. So far, no luck. Should I just resubmit it for the third time for a review? How many times can a draft be declined? Or is it until you find a sympathetic editor? In my opinion, this article has been substantiated with many valid, often peer-reviewed articles. It also contains a painstakingly collected references to emigre media which is hard to come by, unless you are a specialist in the field. One editor remarked that Frajlich's credentials as an educator are non substantial, but her notability is anchored in her being one of the most important living poets which has been substantiated above and beyond. I would really appreciate a friendly hand-holding here. Thank you!

Genealogy connects Leifur Eiricksson (note 1 Modern Icelandic spelling) and Iceland’s modern day Captain Gunnar Marel Eggertsson, the ‘Iceland Knarr’ project’s visionary. Gunnar showed me his handcrafted model of a Viking Knarr ship, 29 May 2015 at ‘Vikingaheimer’ in Iceland. Gunnar believed Leifur sailed a Knarr ship, in search of land due west. Gunnar Marel stated his mother’s direct 33rd generation ancestor was Þjóðhildur Jörundardóttir, Eric the Red’s wife, mother of ‘Leifur Eiriksson,’ the fact discovered by an Icelandic Genealogist. (72 Gunnar Marel Eggertsson, 73 Scandinavian Review, Gunnar Marel Eggertsson, Modern Day Viking, Jennifer Marin, American Scandinavian Foundation Winter 2001) Gunnar Marel and Leifur Eiriksson were schooled in Icelandic Sagas. “The Grœnlendinga” saga states, when blown off course fisherman Bjarni Herjulfsson’s sighted land due west.(74 Vikings, The North American Saga, Edited by William W. Fitzhugh and Elisabeth I Ward, 2000 Smithsonian Institute,Gisli Sigurdsson, pgs 219 - 220 ) Leif Erickson adventurous set sail discovering land due west circa 1,000, now identified as L’Anse Aux Meadows, New Foundland North American. (75 The Vikings, Lord of the Seas, Yves Cohat, 1992 Abrahms Discoveries pg 158-159) Norwegian Archeologists Helge Ingstad and his wife explored L’Anse Aux meadows in the 1960’s. They discovered, then excavated Viking Longhouses during the 1960’s and 70’s. They found archeological objects believed from Leifur Eiriksson and his Viking ship crewmen. (76 Vikings, The North American Saga, Edited by William W. Fitzhugh and Elisabeth I Ward, 2000 Smithsonian Institute,Birgitta Linderoth Wallace, pgs 219 - 220) (L'Anse Aux Meadows is a National Heritage Site and UNESCO) Growing up in Iceland surrounded by open sea, Gunnar became an adventurous Sea Captain like his ancestor Leif Eiriksson. Gunnar shared he was raised by a few generations of Shipwrights from his father's lineage. He used his extensive knowledge of Viking Ship history and their construction in 1996, hand-building a replica of the 9th century Gokstad, a preserved Viking Ship discovered in Gokstad near Sandefjord, Norway, now housed in a Norwegian Museum. (77 https://www.khm.uio.no › english › visit-us › viking-ship-museum › exhibitions › gokstad) Gunnar Marel used traditional Norse methods building his replica of the Gokstad Viking ship, naming it, Íslendingur (The Icelander). Probably the same historical Norse methods used building Leifur Eiriksson’s Viking ship. Approved seaworthy, Captain Gunnar Marel Eggertson sailed Íslendingur year 2,000 along the understood route, ventured by his ancestor Leifur Eiriksson, departing Iceland past Greenland to L’Anse Aux Meadows in New Foundland. Gunnar further sailed down the North America Coast, stopping at various ports, ending in NYC harbor sailing past the Twin Towers. Gunnar’s journey sailing his Viking ship Íslendingur, commemorated ‘Leifur Eiriksson's’ 1,000th anniversary of his historical journey discovering North America. (78 https://www.iamreykjavik.com › islendingur-viking-ship ) Íslendingur is permanently exhibited in Vikingaheimer (Viking World) Museum in Iceland. Íslendingur’s bow looks out the windowed wall, toward a statue of Leifur Eirikison set upon a jetty. [79 https://www.vikingworld.is/ https://www.vikingworld.is]. Iceland Officials bestowed Captain Gunnar Marel Eggertson with the "Order of Falcon," for his many accomplishments as Captain, adventurer, and builder of Viking ships; “the highest, most revered Honor, Iceland confers.” (80 https://www.forseti.is/en/the-order-of-the-falcon/history-of-the-order/ ) A strong connection to Leifur Eirickson’s sailed exploration to North American is the Norse merchant Knarr ship. Historically, Knarr ships were the largest cargo merchant Viking ships, believed used in Leifur’s finding and colonizing of L’Anse Aux Meadows, New Foundland. (81 https://about-history.com › knar-the-oldest-norse-merchant-ship) Knarr's were exceptionally sea-worthy, capable of traveling 75 miles (121 km) per day. Iceland's history reveals Leifur Eiriksson would have sailed a Viking merchant Knarr Ship to North America, as Knarr merchant ships are deeper and wider than other Viking ships. Knarr's were able to carry a crew of 10-30 people, livestock, food, water and personal goods. Iceland's history notes Norse Knarr ships transported about 15,000 Norse settlers to Iceland during 874-930, the 'Icelandic Age of Settlement. (82 The Vikings, Lord of the Seas, Yves Cohat, 1992 Abrahms Discoveries pg 83(, (84 History of the Vikings, Gwyn Jones, pgs 269-282) ‘Iceland Knarr’, is Captain Gunnar Marel Eggertsson’s current Viking ship project, honoring his adventurous ancestor Leifur Eiriksson. Gunnar will build a full-scale replica of the 'Hedeby 3 Knarr' Viking merchant ship. It is the largest intact Knarr discovered in Hedeby Harbor(Haithabu), Schleswig-Holstein, Germany,1980. Gunnar’s 'Iceland Knarr' shall be hand built with the same Norse type materials, using the Scandinavian clinker tradition (lapstrake). Lapstake is the same ancient Norse manner the 'Hedeby 3 Knarr' Viking merchant ship was constructed, as would a Knarr ship Leifur Eiriksson sailed. True to Viking ships seaworthiness, Gunnar will build the ‘Iceland Knarr’ without any modern navigation instruments, as he built, then sailed Íslendingur. Hedeby (83 https://www.historyhit.com › locations › hedeby-viking-museum) was an historic Norse settlement and trading area on the southern Jutland peninsula, were Knarr ships were hand built. Norse Hedeby had access via Schiel to the Baltic and North Sea. Hedeby, now Schleswig-Holstein area of Germany is where Gunnar Marel plans to build “Iceland Knarr’. When Captain Gunnar's 'Iceland Knarr’ ship is completed, he will sail the historic journey from Hedeby to Iceland, as many Norse settlers sailed during ‘Iceland’s historic Settlement’ period. The Norse trading area Hedeby was ruled by both Danish, then Swedish Kings during this period. Gunnar will prove the Viking Knarr's ship excellent sailing capabilities in difficult seas. Gunnar’s planned modern re-enactment of Knarr’s seaworthiness, will enforce how a Knarr ship allowed his ancestor Leifur Eiriksson’s exploratory sail from Iceland, past Greenland to Newfoundland. Leifur Eiriksson and his modern day decendant Gunnar Marel Eggertsson are both commendable. Both Leifur and Gunnar influenced by their historical Icelandic Sagas, became adventurers, explorers, and courageous Captains of the high seas. https://www.icelandknarr.com |

Hello everyone,
I have been working on the article Yuzuru Hanyu Olympic seasons, which is currently undergoing a review for FAC. For that page, I photographed two monuments and a handprint memorial, which were installed in Hanyu's hometown of Sendai, Japan, in memory of his Olympic victories. However, I did not consider that the "Freedom of Panorama" (FoP) doesn't apply to 2D artworks by Japanese copyright law. So the files probably need to get removed from Commons (see discussion on respective deletion request page).

Wikipedia seems biased to humans in favour of other organisms, I think. Someone has probably mentioned that before. I suppose because humans are the ones using it, that implies the information is meant for them in particular, or only, but for instance the Sexual intercourse page has only a small section on other animals at the end, compared to humans. Hence, Wikipedia is destined to always favour humans over other species? It seems logical but not technically neutral in a sense. ButterCashier ( talk) 15:10, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello @ User:Cullen328
Actually it was intended for the Roman Catholic Church. ( Draft:Roman_Catholic_Church_Accompanist)
As you can see in this external link of Berklee ( Church Musician (also called Accompanist/Organist): https://www.berklee.edu/careers/roles/church-musician
you can find the description and image of the cross with Jesus Christ on it (a clear symbol of the Catholic Church with Jesus on the cross). It's intended for describing what a church accompanist/musician is.
I think it can be used as an independent reference for this draft. At other non-catholic churches, you cannot find Jesus on the cross.
Please double check the reference link Church Musician above. Your help would be much appreciated.

one of the most notable Accompanists of the Roman Catholic Church throughout the history of church music, but that assertion is referenced to a Spotify playlist of Mozart works. First of all, a composer need not be a performer, even if we accept for the sake of the argument that a Spotify playlist was a source for the fact that Mozart composed sacred music. Second, while it is well attested that Mozart did play the piano very well, I am not aware that he played the piano in the context of accompanying sacred music performances. Third, even if you had a source showing that he performed in such a context, that would not be enough for the assertion he is noted as an accompanist of RC church music - such an assertion would probably need sourcing from prominent music historians.
[Mozart is] one of the most notable Accompanists of the Roman Catholic Church throughout the history of church music, which is what your draft says. (If it does, please point to the exact sentence that says this. Being employed as an organist is not the same as being one of the most notable accompanists throughout history.)
As we all know that the universal church can be any churches.As our article universal church (a disambiguation page) shows, that term has many meanings. Even so, I didn’t know the meaning of "any Christian church", despite having grown in a Catholic environment.

He thinks WP:COMMONNAME is the core policy, but shouldn't WP:OFFICIAL be more applicable to the Community Party of China, which has long announced and used its official name? What is your opinion on this?

Hello,
Modern Methuselah. Let's talk about
Fenton M. Slaughter. According to
WP:STUB, A stub is an article deemed too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of a subject.
That article is not a stub and so I upgraded it to start grade. The article has nine sentences of prose describing this man's life. He was an elected member of the
California State Assembly, and there is strong consensus that state and provincial legislators are presumed to be notable. In addition, a property he owned is on the
National Register of Historic Places, and I know from experience that the paperwork associated with such a listing will almost certainly have extensive biographical information that can be used to expand the article, which is available for download as a PDF from the NRHP website. Calling him "absolutely a no-one in history" is not a good attitude for an encyclopedia editor. If nominated for AfD, I am certain that the article would be kept, and this is not an edge case.

Hello, Teahouse. I would please request your permission to edit the main "Climate Change" article. I have background in meteorology and graduate level climatology. My focus is on "Droughts in California" which I have begun to edit due to incorrect or inapplicable information about the climate of California and causes of drought. I need to direct this page to the main pages on "Climate of California" and "Climate Change" for background that is not specific to California, possibly to other relevant pages. I will need to delete much of the content of the Climate Change section of the "Droughts in California" page since the content does not relate to California and comes across biased for that reason. I have just edited the disambiguation for global warming to clarify that global warming is one type of climate change (the terms are not interchangeable) and would like to add this detail to the "Climate Change" article; and further specify two types of climate change as natural and anthropogenic (man-made) since climate change occurred before greenhouse gasses were released by human industry. I will provide examples of natural climate change. I have also seen there is a call for climate experts, and I do see by my perusal the need on Wikipedia to improve the content surrounding climate. I am beginning my endeavors with the "Droughts in California" page. I may possibly be able to involve other academics in Wikipedia articles once I have entered material on level for review.

Hi!
I don't know that I would describe myself as a Wikipedia newbie, but I'm also no expert — that's why I'm here at the Teahouse.
Anyhow, I was reading an article and noticed that the tone sounded a bit off, so I used WikiBlame to search one of the more suspect phrases. When I found the editor who was responsible for the insertion, I noticed that they had edited a lot of articles on the topic, and that they were (at least in my opinion) of poor quality — either violating WP:CRYSTAL or WP:WORDS, flattening nuance, as well as just straight up removing information with no explanation, even at the repeated objection of various other editors.
I would reach out to this editor to have a one-on-one discussion on their talk page, but I've read their talk page activity elsewhere, and have found that (a) a lot of these issues have been discussed at length, more than once, with said editor, and (b) they don't seem to be receptive to feedback, if not being a bit acidic.
I would love some guidance as to the best way to proceed. I care about these articles (like we all do) and the scale of this editor's contributions is really wide — I don't feel confident in addressing them just by myself.

I was a professional musician back in the 1970's and 80's - My stage name was Catfish Roy Mann. I performed at Gerdes Folk City in NYC. I was trying to add my name to the list of performers at Gerdes. I added my name but when I tried to create a profile page here on Wikipedia, they suggested not using my real name. So instead I created a profile page as "Catfish Roy". But when I click on my name on Gerdes List no page is referenced. How can I fix this? Catfish Roy ( talk) 15:00, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
The only clarification needed to the second sentence that might be appropriate is to state that the areas are stated to the closest one unit of area. 110.0000... square miles turn out to be 284.8987 square kilometers. Verifying that the area of Cat Ba is actually between 109.50000... and 110.4999999... square kilometers is a different issue to which I cannot contribute. The second sentence and the first one, however are in contradiction: it is impossible for the largest island of an archipelago (at 285 km2) to be larger than the 387 islands that comprise it (said to be 260 km2). The [clarification needed] is placed in a position that is confusing. You might consider giving the sources of the areas of the archipelago and of Cat Ba and pointing out the contradiction.

Giorgia Meloni was victorious in Italy’s elections and promised to govern for all citizens, after exit polls gave her coalition a clear majority, putting her on course to create the country’s most rightwing government since the end of the second world war. 2601:4C1:C880:AD10:697D:C411:4099:A6A6 ( talk) 02:40, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

The IPAc-en phonetic pronunciation of Carnegie is listed in Scottish first and then also in US English but this is stated as the English pronunciation, however this is incorrect as it is pronounced the same in English as Scottish, with the US English specific pronunciation the one which is spelt out phonetically. I looked at the IPAc-en template but I couldn't see how best to set the diaphonemic to all or a specific variety, but I would not be able to edit for the Andrew Carnegie wiki page anyway as it is semi-proteced. I realise that the article is written in US English with that spelling convention, but I believe that the pronunciation should be the correct one used by the individual first and foremost, especially as the individual is also prominent in UK history - see Carnegie United Kingdom Trust. Shouldn't this be amended to include the variation between US English and British English, be amended to the UK version, or be made clearer that this is specific to US language speakers?

Why 10:11, 27 September 2022 (UTC)Hello. May I ask for some insight regarding WP:BLP?
I have been involved in a dispute with other editors and I have been repeatedly warned, (in fact twice, by 2 admins) to not describe a far-right official/politician/author as "extremist" for the fact that they (per WP:RS) have expressed controversial statements in public, both in their service as a government official, their career as politician of the far right spectrum, and more recently as an author on history matters, and whose reliability is heavily disputed by the international scholarship, with the 2 admins warning that this constitutes a violation of WP:BLP. I am not here to question the Admins's views that the BLP is indeed violated. In fact, I am worried that 2 warnings cannot be a misunderstanding and that I indeed have violated BLP but the problem is: still I do not understand how exactly I did violate that policy. Therefore, I would appreciate some help in understanding what part of the policy is being violated when reflecting on international third party sources about the far-right politician and author in describing them as "extremist", actually do constitute a violation of WP:BLP.
In simple words: if can someone more familiar about WP:BLP can help me understand exactly me which part of the BLP policy about describing a politician as extremist per third party reliable sources, constitutes a violation of this policy, that will be really appreciated, as understanding it better will definitely help avoiding its violation in the future. In the
WP:BLP policy's page, it states: Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—must be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion. Users who persistently or egregiously violate this policy may be blocked from editing.
. Is it a matter of the international academic community not being reliable in its criticism against the politician/author the reason I shouldn't be using these terms for the person? Also, one more question: If using the term "extremist" to describe the person does indeed constitute a violation of WP:BLP, is the same also true for using the term "far-right" and the principle here is that no descriptions may be used ever about living persons, even if this is verified by third-party independent WP:RS? -

Questionable sources are those with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight. Such sources include websites and publications expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, that are promotional in nature, or that rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions.and since Xhufi is widely acknowledged as such, I assumed it is safe to use the wording described in this Wikipedia policy regarding such unreliable sources. But evidently, judging from the 2 Admin warnings I received, which are telling me to not describe that scholar as extremist unless RSN has concluded that they are indeed extremist, then I must be wrong in borrowing the wording from WP:UNRELIABLE and I am violating WP:BLP, which is what I am trying to understand here. --- ❖ SilentResident ❖ ( talk ✉ | contribs ✎) 10:24, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Is there a reason why most sports people, especially less-famous sports people, only have sports related information in their articles?
They rarely have information about things like:
Etc, like it does on articles about other famous non-sports people.
Famous sports people nearly always seem to have famous relatives in sport or elsewhere, as I've found out countless times over the years, yet they're rarely mentioned in their Wikipedia articles.
Recently I've been updating IMDB pages (with birth details, bios, external links, missing productions etc) for a screenwriter/producer and former actress, who is married to a playwright/screenwriter, who have a former actress/screenwriter and musician daughter (I'm not sure what she's doing now), who has 2 former Premier League footballers as half-uncles who are the half-brothers of her mum. The least famous of them (the daughter) has a Wikipedia article, with no references other than her own personal website (which went dead in 2016, just like her parents' websites, and is hard to find out what she's been doing since 2011), and 2 IMDB links to 2 films released before she were born for someone else with the same name.
And now I've just updated a short film written by and starring a small time actor whose nephew played a few games in the Premier League, but mainly played in the National League (division) and National League North.
The 3 footballers all have Wikipedia articles obviously, but as usual none of them mention their screenwriter/producer/playwright/actor relatives, not even the former child actress with a Wikipedia article (which needs references adding). Danstarr69 ( talk) 03:35, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

Oopsemoops, the purpose of blocks like this is to prevent disruption of the encyclopedia.

Regarding the article title "Climate Change" and its definition, I was able to tag the article for a citation error, however the tag was immediately removed. I was able to begin a discussion, but the conversation quickly became controlled by few editors in an antagonistic fashion, with problematic misinterpretations and misrepresentations. I did visit past history and a comfortable number of editors had voted for the correct representation. The controlling editors are claiming the NASA sources assert entirely the opposite of what they do state, plain as day. This is clearly a bias, right at the beginning of the article, beginning with the title. It is even possible the bias could be politically motivated. I created an example draft which I recognize is not clearly cited, but I wanted to present an example of the format that would meet Wikipedia:Five pillars (primarily, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia). The draft can be seen here: Draft:Climate Change (scientific). (Due to comments I received this approach is "scientific"; the term "definitions" would be fine also, or just "Climate Change" with Global Warming to be a major part of the article.) The NASA sources and references in dispute are here: [NASA Global Warming vs Climate Change] https://climate.nasa.gov/global-warming-vs-climate-change/ and here (currently reference 20): [NASA Climate by any Other Name] https://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/climate_by_any_other_name.html Clearly these sources state that while the terms (Climate Change / Global Warming) are commonly used interchangeably, they do not mean the same thins; the terms have distinct meanings. Global Warming is a subset of Climate Change. It may make sense to use the term Climate Change when speaking about Global Warming, such as when an exterminator talks about rodents to mean rats, but this terminology does not suffice for encyclopedic purposes since it leaves out other types of climate change - it fails to classify beavers and marmots within the class of rodents. Other definitions become muddled by the terminology split that conveys Climate Change to mean only and entirely Global Warming (versus Climate Variability); discussion of the types of change being natural or anthropogenic, for instance, do not flow into place in the chosen splits. The NASA citation is not adequate to arrive at the chosen split since it does not support this assignment of terms, but rather states the very opposite than has been (mis)interpreted. I am open to changes to the draft example I presented, as long as an encyclopedic approach is favored that makes proper sense of the referenced source documents. I did not enter the Climate Change discussion purposely, I had only sought to link to Climate Change and found an article that did not meet my needs for accuracy.

Likewise, I know that current move discussions are listed in WP:RM#C and that there is Wikipedia:Proposed article mergers, but from what I gather discussions that use the requested move template are listed automatically in WP:RM#C, while I'm not aware of a similar case with mergers. NoonIcarus ( talk) 21:25, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
Step 1: Create a place for discussion. Go to the Talk Page (also known as the discussion page) of the target article (the one you want to merge to) and create a section (eg: "Merger proposal") to discuss the merger. If there's already a discussion on the talk page regarding the merger, you can omit this step. Whether the discussion is new or old, make sure the discussion section names all articles involved and links to them. The section name can be anything that includes the word merge (for example
==Merger discussion==
).
Step 2: Put one of the merger tags at the top of the articles you wish to be merged. The templates {{ Merge from}} and {{ Merge to}}, or {{ merge}} are the most common ones. Remember to make sure that the Discuss link in each tag points to the section you've created in step 1 (this is to prevent having two separate discussions on different talk pages).
Hi, everyone! I recently edited the List of Most Expensive Cars Sold at Auction page, by adding the third line about the 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO which was sold at a private auction in 2018 for a price of $70 million. But the car needs to be added to the Absolute Record table, and the interactive graph needs to be updated as well with the proper numbers for the total number of cars that each brand has listed on the page.

My question is: I have made several article edits, some of which consist of adding content to an article. These now appear on my Watch List (permanent).

If it was installed by a government agency, museum or recognized historical society, it is probably reliable.

Hello, I’d like to discuss how to proceed.
At the beginning of September 2022, @ Veverve began to remove lists of celebrations inscribed into various revision of the General Roman Calendar:
Now, there are some users who want to keep the celebrations lists within the articles. The celebrations lists are the core part of the article to these users (including myself). Additional information can be found in the talk pages:
There were some edit wars too because of this.
Now, I understand that Wikipedia is not a list nor a directory, however, is there no other Wikipedia policy/rule that would allow such long (but finite) lists of celebrations to be included in a Wikipedia article?
Later, as I couldn’t see a way to include the celebrations lists within the articles, I started to move the celebrations lists to my GitLab repository. @ Veverve seemed to be okay with adding a link to External links within General Roman Calendar of 1969, however, @ Elizium23 soon removed it on WP:ELNO basis. See also this discussion on this topic.
Now, please advice, how can we proceed? I simply want to have the lists of celebrations within the articles, either directly or indirectly. Is that possible? 7otto ( talk) 19:23, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

They've got a pretty big fanbase, but their work (and even whole genre) are still what you could call 'underground.' They're pretty important as a 'niche' artist and very influential in the industrial/noise scene, but the fact they never really went fully mainstream means that there aren't a lot of other big time sources referencing them; should I attempt article creation, or does this seem likely to be rejected?

Dear community,
I am reaching out for your expert advice to help solve an issue my client has landed into. Points listed below give an account of events in chronological order:
-An employee at my client's edited his company page with information to reflect new development in terms of revenue, geographical presence, etc., edited language at places to make it more suitable, added current citations for both old and new edits, organized the page with tabular layouts for sections like Board of Directors, Board members, etc.
-These edits were accepted without any issue.
-He then went on to edit the page of his company's Co-founder and chairman, and again made edits to reflect new information. The new information/edits included - information pertaining to early life and career, awards & recognition and Social work.
-These edits also got accepted without any issue.
-After two or three weeks, he developed content for another co-founder of the company, and created a page for him on Wikipedia. This time however, the page got nominated for deletion, and his profile is said to be indefinitely blocked.
-The administrator who nominated the co-founder's page for deletion also banned this editor's profile and discarded all his recent edits made on the company and company's chairman's page.
-This employee of my client's has reached out to me for help, so I am writing here to get your expert thoughts on how can I best handle this.
From my understanding and knowledge of how Wikipedia works and the policy and guidelines to edits content or to create new page, I can say that the edits made on company page and those on the co-founder page do not seem to violate any guidelines, the one concern I have though is that this employee who made the edits did not disclose his conflict of interest, which he should have done to begin with.
There is a big issue with the new page creation, because their earlier attempt I am told was rejected I think a year or two back. They tried creating the page again by changing the content to make it plain and non-promotional. Added proper reference links too. Their point is that the other co-founder (whose page got deleted) is also a prominent figure (no less than the co-founder who has the page up) and is well covered by the media; journalists and people also look for him, and there is need and a solid case to have a separate Wikipedia page for him.
I am thinking to follow the below steps to help. And please I request you all to guide me here to make the best, ethical decision:
1. Ask the client's employee to go through Wikipedia guidelines and policies thoroughly, especially the ones which led to this situation. 2. Ask the client's employee to appeal for getting his account unblocked. And in this appeal he should disclose that he had conflict of interest. And such mistakes will not be repeated. 3. Appeal to the administrator to have a closer look at the edits made on the company page and co-founder page (which all she/he rejected) and instead of rejecting everything, advise on making them better suited for Wikipedia if she/he finds there are specific issue with certain edit(s). 4. To create a page for the other co-founder, I can advice the client to first analyze if there is a solid case to have a separate page for this person, and if there is a good case, they can start by creating a page at Special:Mypage/co-founder which can allow other editors to contribute while the page gets developed, instead of controlling the content themselves.
Your advice is much appreciated. Looking forward to hear back. Thank you!
Yours faithfully,
- Fahad
PS. My apologies, I can not yet disclose the pages and editor's profile referred to here, but if you feel it is mandatory and will help resolve the issue in any way, I can put it here. Fahadmonibsiddiqui ( talk) 11:12, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello, full disclosure I am an employee of Agility Robotics, so I don't feel like I can be an objective/unbiased editor. Is there anyone who has a passion/interest in robotics who might want to evaluate if there is enough 3rd party validation to justify a page?

You can view that on my user talk page, I'd be happy to provide that background here as well if that's preferred.

I came across a page ( Cedrus atlantica) written in Igbo. It turns out the user @ Winniejovita has been translating pages into Igbo. They have only started recently and only changed two pages so far. I reverted their edit to the cedar article, and the other one was already reverted.
However, I think there is a high chance that this isn't a case of purposeful vandalism, considering the effort put in to make the edits and the user's page. Therefore, I have put a notice on their talk page telling them to instead create the articles on the Igbo Wikipedia
[4]. I think they might be valuable editor for the development of that language's Wikipedia, bearing in mind that it only has around 1500 pages according to Wikidata. I'm a relatively new editor myself so if anyone more experienced has any ideas or wants to help then that would be great. I think it would be of much benefit to the Igbo Wikipedia if someone walked them through how to translate pages between different language Wikipedias so they could contribute properly.

There also seem to be edits where the summaries of the edits are disproportionately long for the content of the edit. What are the minimum acceptable edit summaries for ce? Is there a way to automate/semi-automate ce?
Also, is there a guide for editing practices? I have seen both instances of editors who make lots of changes in one edit, and editors who make one change per edit. The latter seems like the way to maximize # of edits. Is this just seen as editor preference? Are there arguments for one way or the other?

Dear TeaHouse:
I am still trying to figure out the approval process for a new article. Draft:Anna Frajlich. Two different editors declined my draft and provided their feedback, and then I also received another feedback from yet another, third editor. I followed all the advice and am trying to engage them in a conversation about how else I can improve the draft or have it approved. So far, no luck. Should I just resubmit it for the third time for a review? How many times can a draft be declined? Or is it until you find a sympathetic editor? In my opinion, this article has been substantiated with many valid, often peer-reviewed articles. It also contains a painstakingly collected references to emigre media which is hard to come by, unless you are a specialist in the field. One editor remarked that Frajlich's credentials as an educator are non substantial, but her notability is anchored in her being one of the most important living poets which has been substantiated above and beyond. I would really appreciate a friendly hand-holding here. Thank you!

I improved this article by removing Inappropriate content and providing WP:RS. I couldn't move the draft to Caylee Cowan, because it needs administrator access. I moved to Caylee Cowan(actress). Another user, nominated the article for deletion and after 8 days they decided to Keep it. The user who closed the deletion discussion, noted that it should be a request to admins to fix the title of article by moving it to Caylee Cowan. Therefore I commented here to fixing the issue.

Hello, I'd like to ask a question regarding my article about Codete IT company.

Genealogy connects Leifur Eiricksson (note 1 Modern Icelandic spelling) and Iceland’s modern day Captain Gunnar Marel Eggertsson, the ‘Iceland Knarr’ project’s visionary. Gunnar showed me his handcrafted model of a Viking Knarr ship, 29 May 2015 at ‘Vikingaheimer’ in Iceland. Gunnar believed Leifur sailed a Knarr ship, in search of land due west. Gunnar Marel stated his mother’s direct 33rd generation ancestor was Þjóðhildur Jörundardóttir, Eric the Red’s wife, mother of ‘Leifur Eiriksson,’ the fact discovered by an Icelandic Genealogist. (72 Gunnar Marel Eggertsson, 73 Scandinavian Review, Gunnar Marel Eggertsson, Modern Day Viking, Jennifer Marin, American Scandinavian Foundation Winter 2001) Gunnar Marel and Leifur Eiriksson were schooled in Icelandic Sagas. “The Grœnlendinga” saga states, when blown off course fisherman Bjarni Herjulfsson’s sighted land due west.(74 Vikings, The North American Saga, Edited by William W. Fitzhugh and Elisabeth I Ward, 2000 Smithsonian Institute,Gisli Sigurdsson, pgs 219 - 220 ) Leif Erickson adventurous set sail discovering land due west circa 1,000, now identified as L’Anse Aux Meadows, New Foundland North American. (75 The Vikings, Lord of the Seas, Yves Cohat, 1992 Abrahms Discoveries pg 158-159) Norwegian Archeologists Helge Ingstad and his wife explored L’Anse Aux meadows in the 1960’s. They discovered, then excavated Viking Longhouses during the 1960’s and 70’s. They found archeological objects believed from Leifur Eiriksson and his Viking ship crewmen. (76 Vikings, The North American Saga, Edited by William W. Fitzhugh and Elisabeth I Ward, 2000 Smithsonian Institute,Birgitta Linderoth Wallace, pgs 219 - 220) (L'Anse Aux Meadows is a National Heritage Site and UNESCO) Growing up in Iceland surrounded by open sea, Gunnar became an adventurous Sea Captain like his ancestor Leif Eiriksson. Gunnar shared he was raised by a few generations of Shipwrights from his father's lineage. He used his extensive knowledge of Viking Ship history and their construction in 1996, hand-building a replica of the 9th century Gokstad, a preserved Viking Ship discovered in Gokstad near Sandefjord, Norway, now housed in a Norwegian Museum. (77 https://www.khm.uio.no › english › visit-us › viking-ship-museum › exhibitions › gokstad) Gunnar Marel used traditional Norse methods building his replica of the Gokstad Viking ship, naming it, Íslendingur (The Icelander). Probably the same historical Norse methods used building Leifur Eiriksson’s Viking ship. Approved seaworthy, Captain Gunnar Marel Eggertson sailed Íslendingur year 2,000 along the understood route, ventured by his ancestor Leifur Eiriksson, departing Iceland past Greenland to L’Anse Aux Meadows in New Foundland. Gunnar further sailed down the North America Coast, stopping at various ports, ending in NYC harbor sailing past the Twin Towers. Gunnar’s journey sailing his Viking ship Íslendingur, commemorated ‘Leifur Eiriksson's’ 1,000th anniversary of his historical journey discovering North America. (78 https://www.iamreykjavik.com › islendingur-viking-ship ) Íslendingur is permanently exhibited in Vikingaheimer (Viking World) Museum in Iceland. Íslendingur’s bow looks out the windowed wall, toward a statue of Leifur Eirikison set upon a jetty. [79 https://www.vikingworld.is/ https://www.vikingworld.is]. Iceland Officials bestowed Captain Gunnar Marel Eggertson with the "Order of Falcon," for his many accomplishments as Captain, adventurer, and builder of Viking ships; “the highest, most revered Honor, Iceland confers.” (80 https://www.forseti.is/en/the-order-of-the-falcon/history-of-the-order/ ) A strong connection to Leifur Eirickson’s sailed exploration to North American is the Norse merchant Knarr ship. Historically, Knarr ships were the largest cargo merchant Viking ships, believed used in Leifur’s finding and colonizing of L’Anse Aux Meadows, New Foundland. (81 https://about-history.com › knar-the-oldest-norse-merchant-ship) Knarr's were exceptionally sea-worthy, capable of traveling 75 miles (121 km) per day. Iceland's history reveals Leifur Eiriksson would have sailed a Viking merchant Knarr Ship to North America, as Knarr merchant ships are deeper and wider than other Viking ships. Knarr's were able to carry a crew of 10-30 people, livestock, food, water and personal goods. Iceland's history notes Norse Knarr ships transported about 15,000 Norse settlers to Iceland during 874-930, the 'Icelandic Age of Settlement. (82 The Vikings, Lord of the Seas, Yves Cohat, 1992 Abrahms Discoveries pg 83(, (84 History of the Vikings, Gwyn Jones, pgs 269-282) ‘Iceland Knarr’, is Captain Gunnar Marel Eggertsson’s current Viking ship project, honoring his adventurous ancestor Leifur Eiriksson. Gunnar will build a full-scale replica of the 'Hedeby 3 Knarr' Viking merchant ship. It is the largest intact Knarr discovered in Hedeby Harbor(Haithabu), Schleswig-Holstein, Germany,1980. Gunnar’s 'Iceland Knarr' shall be hand built with the same Norse type materials, using the Scandinavian clinker tradition (lapstrake). Lapstake is the same ancient Norse manner the 'Hedeby 3 Knarr' Viking merchant ship was constructed, as would a Knarr ship Leifur Eiriksson sailed. True to Viking ships seaworthiness, Gunnar will build the ‘Iceland Knarr’ without any modern navigation instruments, as he built, then sailed Íslendingur. Hedeby (83 https://www.historyhit.com › locations › hedeby-viking-museum) was an historic Norse settlement and trading area on the southern Jutland peninsula, were Knarr ships were hand built. Norse Hedeby had access via Schiel to the Baltic and North Sea. Hedeby, now Schleswig-Holstein area of Germany is where Gunnar Marel plans to build “Iceland Knarr’. When Captain Gunnar's 'Iceland Knarr’ ship is completed, he will sail the historic journey from Hedeby to Iceland, as many Norse settlers sailed during ‘Iceland’s historic Settlement’ period. The Norse trading area Hedeby was ruled by both Danish, then Swedish Kings during this period. Gunnar will prove the Viking Knarr's ship excellent sailing capabilities in difficult seas. Gunnar’s planned modern re-enactment of Knarr’s seaworthiness, will enforce how a Knarr ship allowed his ancestor Leifur Eiriksson’s exploratory sail from Iceland, past Greenland to Newfoundland. Leifur Eiriksson and his modern day decendant Gunnar Marel Eggertsson are both commendable. Both Leifur and Gunnar influenced by their historical Icelandic Sagas, became adventurers, explorers, and courageous Captains of the high seas. https://www.icelandknarr.com |

Hello everyone,
I have been working on the article Yuzuru Hanyu Olympic seasons, which is currently undergoing a review for FAC. For that page, I photographed two monuments and a handprint memorial, which were installed in Hanyu's hometown of Sendai, Japan, in memory of his Olympic victories. However, I did not consider that the "Freedom of Panorama" (FoP) doesn't apply to 2D artworks by Japanese copyright law. So the files probably need to get removed from Commons (see discussion on respective deletion request page).
I was informed by user HyperGaruda that under special conditions it is possible to upload the files here to en-Wikipedia, following the rules of non-free use rationale, but I am not familiar with this procedure at all and would be very grateful for some guidance by an experienced user. Thank you very much in advance. Henni147 ( talk) 07:59, 22 September 2022 (UTC)
Wikipedia seems biased to humans in favour of other organisms, I think. Someone has probably mentioned that before. I suppose because humans are the ones using it, that implies the information is meant for them in particular, or only, but for instance the Sexual intercourse page has only a small section on other animals at the end, compared to humans. Hence, Wikipedia is destined to always favour humans over other species? It seems logical but not technically neutral in a sense. ButterCashier ( talk) 15:10, 21 September 2022 (UTC)

Hello @ User:Cullen328
Actually it was intended for the Roman Catholic Church. ( Draft:Roman_Catholic_Church_Accompanist)
As you can see in this external link of Berklee ( Church Musician (also called Accompanist/Organist): https://www.berklee.edu/careers/roles/church-musician
you can find the description and image of the cross with Jesus Christ on it (a clear symbol of the Catholic Church with Jesus on the cross). It's intended for describing what a church accompanist/musician is.
I think it can be used as an independent reference for this draft. At other non-catholic churches, you cannot find Jesus on the cross.

one of the most notable Accompanists of the Roman Catholic Church throughout the history of church music, but that assertion is referenced to a Spotify playlist of Mozart works. First of all, a composer need not be a performer, even if we accept for the sake of the argument that a Spotify playlist was a source for the fact that Mozart composed sacred music. Second, while it is well attested that Mozart did play the piano very well, I am not aware that he played the piano in the context of accompanying sacred music performances. Third, even if you had a source showing that he performed in such a context, that would not be enough for the assertion he is noted as an accompanist of RC church music - such an assertion would probably need sourcing from prominent music historians.
[Mozart is] one of the most notable Accompanists of the Roman Catholic Church throughout the history of church music, which is what your draft says. (If it does, please point to the exact sentence that says this. Being employed as an organist is not the same as being one of the most notable accompanists throughout history.)
As we all know that the universal church can be any churches.As our article universal church (a disambiguation page) shows, that term has many meanings. Even so, I didn’t know the meaning of "any Christian church", despite having grown in a Catholic environment.

Hi everyone, I noticed that Amigao has largely replaced the Communist Party of China (CPC) with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the English wikipedia and wikidata pages.
I have checked his talk page and found that a lot of people have put forward different opinions on his long-term mass replacement behavior, but he doesn't seem to agree with or care about these views, and continues to carry out this mass replacement behavior.
He thinks WP:COMMONNAME is the core policy, but shouldn't WP:OFFICIAL be more applicable to the Community Party of China, which has long announced and used its official name? What is your opinion on this?

Hello,

Fenton M. Slaughter. According to
WP:STUB, A stub is an article deemed too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of a subject.
That article is not a stub and so I upgraded it to start grade. The article has nine sentences of prose describing this man's life. He was an elected member of the
California State Assembly, and there is strong consensus that state and provincial legislators are presumed to be notable. In addition, a property he owned is on the
National Register of Historic Places, and I know from experience that the paperwork associated with such a listing will almost certainly have extensive biographical information that can be used to expand the article, which is available for download as a PDF from the NRHP website. Calling him "absolutely a no-one in history" is not a good attitude for an encyclopedia editor. If nominated for AfD, I am certain that the article would be kept, and this is not an edge case.

Hello, Teahouse. I would please request your permission to edit the main "Climate Change" article. I have background in meteorology and graduate level climatology. My focus is on "Droughts in California" which I have begun to edit due to incorrect or inapplicable information about the climate of California and causes of drought. I need to direct this page to the main pages on "Climate of California" and "Climate Change" for background that is not specific to California, possibly to other relevant pages. I will need to delete much of the content of the Climate Change section of the "Droughts in California" page since the content does not relate to California and comes across biased for that reason. I have just edited the disambiguation for global warming to clarify that global warming is one type of climate change (the terms are not interchangeable) and would like to add this detail to the "Climate Change" article; and further specify two types of climate change as natural and anthropogenic (man-made) since climate change occurred before greenhouse gasses were released by human industry. I will provide examples of natural climate change. I have also seen there is a call for climate experts, and I do see by my perusal the need on Wikipedia to improve the content surrounding climate. I am beginning my endeavors with the "Droughts in California" page. I may possibly be able to involve other academics in Wikipedia articles once I have entered material on level for review.

I added Cluebot III to my talk page to archive discussions, but I did something wrong and it's archived discussions into a " January 2022" subpage (which includes May 2021 to Jan 2022 messages) and a " 1" subpage. It's been like this for a while now and I haven't got round to asking about it. Is anyone able to tell me what I've done wrong, and if I can retrospectively fix (re-name) sub-pages? Or am I doomed to forever have a slightly annoyingly-incoherent archive list? Many thanks! Unexpectedlydian♯4 talk‽ 14:38, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
Hi, could I have some help assessing if mentioning a relationship is notable enough to include?

I've just discovered this page and been amazed at all the data Wikipedia collects on us editors. One thing I don't understand, however: are we being graded on our contributions? Some of the pages I've edited are marked "Starting," others have the letter B, and still others have the letter C.
I wish there'd been an explanation of what this means, perhaps just as a link taking us somewhere for a fuller explanation.

I just came across a banner for the Wikimedia Foundation which read "We usually invite the world to create the sum of all human knowledge. Now we're inviting the world to create the sound of all human knowledge" while I was reading a Wikipedia article on Zager and Evans, and it provided a link for translation contributions. I guess this is for the recent "Sound of All Human Knowledge" contest. I am fluent in Dutch and am willing to contribute (I have already translated the above quote into Dutch) but was not sure how to contribute. When I clicked on the 'help to translate' link, the page it took me to wouldn't actually allow me to submit my translation.

Hi!
I don't know that I would describe myself as a Wikipedia newbie, but I'm also no expert — that's why I'm here at the Teahouse.
Anyhow, I was reading an article and noticed that the tone sounded a bit off, so I used WikiBlame to search one of the more suspect phrases. When I found the editor who was responsible for the insertion, I noticed that they had edited a lot of articles on the topic, and that they were (at least in my opinion) of poor quality — either violating WP:CRYSTAL or WP:WORDS, flattening nuance, as well as just straight up removing information with no explanation, even at the repeated objection of various other editors.
I would reach out to this editor to have a one-on-one discussion on their talk page, but I've read their talk page activity elsewhere, and have found that (a) a lot of these issues have been discussed at length, more than once, with said editor, and (b) they don't seem to be receptive to feedback, if not being a bit acidic.
I would love some guidance as to the best way to proceed. I care about these articles (like we all do) and the scale of this editor's contributions is really wide — I don't feel confident in addressing them just by myself.
If any further information is needed on this page, just holler. LocalWonk ( talk) 16:18, 25 September 2022 (UTC)

The only clarification needed to the second sentence that might be appropriate is to state that the areas are stated to the closest one unit of area. 110.0000... square miles turn out to be 284.8987 square kilometers. Verifying that the area of Cat Ba is actually between 109.50000... and 110.4999999... square kilometers is a different issue to which I cannot contribute. The second sentence and the first one, however are in contradiction: it is impossible for the largest island of an archipelago (at 285 km2) to be larger than the 387 islands that comprise it (said to be 260 km2). The [clarification needed] is placed in a position that is confusing. You might consider giving the sources of the areas of the archipelago and of Cat Ba and pointing out the contradiction.

The IPAc-en phonetic pronunciation of Carnegie is listed in Scottish first and then also in US English but this is stated as the English pronunciation, however this is incorrect as it is pronounced the same in English as Scottish, with the US English specific pronunciation the one which is spelt out phonetically. I looked at the IPAc-en template but I couldn't see how best to set the diaphonemic to all or a specific variety, but I would not be able to edit for the Andrew Carnegie wiki page anyway as it is semi-proteced. I realise that the article is written in US English with that spelling convention, but I believe that the pronunciation should be the correct one used by the individual first and foremost, especially as the individual is also prominent in UK history - see Carnegie United Kingdom Trust. Shouldn't this be amended to include the variation between US English and British English, be amended to the UK version, or be made clearer that this is specific to US language speakers?

Why 10:11, 27 September 2022 (UTC)Hello. May I ask for some insight regarding WP:BLP?
I have been involved in a dispute with other editors and I have been repeatedly warned, (in fact twice, by 2 admins) to not describe a far-right official/politician/author as "extremist" for the fact that they (per WP:RS) have expressed controversial statements in public, both in their service as a government official, their career as politician of the far right spectrum, and more recently as an author on history matters, and whose reliability is heavily disputed by the international scholarship, with the 2 admins warning that this constitutes a violation of WP:BLP. I am not here to question the Admins's views that the BLP is indeed violated. In fact, I am worried that 2 warnings cannot be a misunderstanding and that I indeed have violated BLP but the problem is: still I do not understand how exactly I did violate that policy. Therefore, I would appreciate some help in understanding what part of the policy is being violated when reflecting on international third party sources about the far-right politician and author in describing them as "extremist", actually do constitute a violation of WP:BLP.
In simple words: if can someone more familiar about WP:BLP can help me understand exactly me which part of the BLP policy about describing a politician as extremist per third party reliable sources, constitutes a violation of this policy, that will be really appreciated, as understanding it better will definitely help avoiding its violation in the future. In the
WP:BLP policy's page, it states: Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—must be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion. Users who persistently or egregiously violate this policy may be blocked from editing.
. Is it a matter of the international academic community not being reliable in its criticism against the politician/author the reason I shouldn't be using these terms for the person? Also, one more question: If using the term "extremist" to describe the person does indeed constitute a violation of WP:BLP, is the same also true for using the term "far-right" and the principle here is that no descriptions may be used ever about living persons, even if this is verified by third-party independent WP:RS? -

Questionable sources are those with a poor reputation for checking the facts or with no editorial oversight. Such sources include websites and publications expressing views that are widely acknowledged as extremist, that are promotional in nature, or that rely heavily on rumors and personal opinions.and since Xhufi is widely acknowledged as such, I assumed it is safe to use the wording described in this Wikipedia policy regarding such unreliable sources. But evidently, judging from the 2 Admin warnings I received, which are telling me to not describe that scholar as extremist unless RSN has concluded that they are indeed extremist, then I must be wrong in borrowing the wording from WP:UNRELIABLE and I am violating WP:BLP, which is what I am trying to understand here. --- ❖ SilentResident ❖ ( talk ✉ | contribs ✎) 10:24, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

Is there a reason why most sports people, especially less-famous sports people, only have sports related information in their articles?
They rarely have information about things like:
Etc, like it does on articles about other famous non-sports people.
Famous sports people nearly always seem to have famous relatives in sport or elsewhere, as I've found out countless times over the years, yet they're rarely mentioned in their Wikipedia articles.
Recently I've been updating IMDB pages (with birth details, bios, external links, missing productions etc) for a screenwriter/producer and former actress, who is married to a playwright/screenwriter, who have a former actress/screenwriter and musician daughter (I'm not sure what she's doing now), who has 2 former Premier League footballers as half-uncles who are the half-brothers of her mum. The least famous of them (the daughter) has a Wikipedia article, with no references other than her own personal website (which went dead in 2016, just like her parents' websites, and is hard to find out what she's been doing since 2011), and 2 IMDB links to 2 films released before she were born for someone else with the same name.
And now I've just updated a short film written by and starring a small time actor whose nephew played a few games in the Premier League, but mainly played in the National League (division) and National League North.
The 3 footballers all have Wikipedia articles obviously, but as usual none of them mention their screenwriter/producer/playwright/actor relatives, not even the former child actress with a Wikipedia article (which needs references adding). Danstarr69 ( talk) 03:35, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

I earlier asked for help today at AfC Help Desk; this is the request I made:
When Onel5969 reviewed Welcome Homes and moved it to Draft:Welcome Homes, citing WP:DRAFTIFY in the edit summary, with WP:UPE and WP:COI on my talk page, a disclosure was already done and declared in edit summary and talk page of the article, with WP:PAID also complied with on my user page, and since I could not find any other reasons for the move to draft, I simply submitted it for review. Greenman declined my submission also citing WP:COI, but with WP:ADV in the edit summary and WP:ARTSPAM on my talk page, so I have tried to address these concerns and resubmitted for review about a month ago. Please, I am here to seek help on what else needs to be done.
Upon this request, the draft was declined by Theroadislong also citing WP:ADV and stating "you have not correctly disclosed your paid editing status as required". The draft was also tagged with {{ Undisclosed paid}}, but when I pointed out the error, it was changed to {{ Paid contributions}}, with a comment "Not sure how being one of 28 "Hottest PropTech Startups" confers any notability?".
Please I need suggestions, with examples from the contents of the draft, on how to make the draft not to read like an advert. Thank you. Rotidiap ( talk) 22:34, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

I hate feeling like a "rat" or "snitch" doing this... but there is an editor that I just came across on the recent changes page whose username is "Sukmebals"... that seems like it must be a violation of sorts... but I do not know the correct protocol for what to do there. :)

Oopsemoops, the purpose of blocks like this is to prevent disruption of the encyclopedia. Two plus decades of experience shows that the vast majority of people who register usernames like this are here to troll and vandalize and harass people. The small minority of those who really want to improve the encyclopedia are free to file an unblock request on their user talk page. They cannot edit any other page, after all. Here are two statistics for you. I have blocked 6863 accounts in my five years as an administrator, and only 30 of them have been unblocked. Cullen328 ( talk) 04:42, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
This may not be the correct place to ask about this, but I have been waiting to hear back on a username change over here [18] for some time now. Anyway that I can poke or prod the people responsible for granting such a change in order to just get an update on the status of that request? If it can't be done, fine, or if it can, great! I just would love to start going by Moops and only Moops already. :) — Moops ⋠ T⋡ 15:12, 27 September 2022 (UTC)

In the article on the architect George Washington Browne, I have added a section to list Browne's publications. When I preview my edits, I see this error message: "Script warning: One or more cite journal templates have errors; messages may be hidden (help)" I have narrowed this down to the first item in the Publications section (the one from the Scottish Art Review), but I can't for the life of me see what is wrong with it. I know that the error message won't be visible to people reading the article, but it bothers me that the error is present.
As a separate point, is it appropriate to include the author's name in this type of list, given that the author is the subject of the article? Thanks in advance for your help. Mike Marchmont ( talk) 17:10, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Regarding the article title "Climate Change" and its definition, I was able to tag the article for a citation error, however the tag was immediately removed. I was able to begin a discussion, but the conversation quickly became controlled by few editors in an antagonistic fashion, with problematic misinterpretations and misrepresentations. I did visit past history and a comfortable number of editors had voted for the correct representation. The controlling editors are claiming the NASA sources assert entirely the opposite of what they do state, plain as day. This is clearly a bias, right at the beginning of the article, beginning with the title. It is even possible the bias could be politically motivated. I created an example draft which I recognize is not clearly cited, but I wanted to present an example of the format that would meet Wikipedia:Five pillars (primarily, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia). The draft can be seen here: Draft:Climate Change (scientific). (Due to comments I received this approach is "scientific"; the term "definitions" would be fine also, or just "Climate Change" with Global Warming to be a major part of the article.) The NASA sources and references in dispute are here: [NASA Global Warming vs Climate Change] https://climate.nasa.gov/global-warming-vs-climate-change/ and here (currently reference 20): [NASA Climate by any Other Name] https://www.nasa.gov/topics/earth/features/climate_by_any_other_name.html Clearly these sources state that while the terms (Climate Change / Global Warming) are commonly used interchangeably, they do not mean the same thins; the terms have distinct meanings. Global Warming is a subset of Climate Change. It may make sense to use the term Climate Change when speaking about Global Warming, such as when an exterminator talks about rodents to mean rats, but this terminology does not suffice for encyclopedic purposes since it leaves out other types of climate change - it fails to classify beavers and marmots within the class of rodents. Other definitions become muddled by the terminology split that conveys Climate Change to mean only and entirely Global Warming (versus Climate Variability); discussion of the types of change being natural or anthropogenic, for instance, do not flow into place in the chosen splits. The NASA citation is not adequate to arrive at the chosen split since it does not support this assignment of terms, but rather states the very opposite than has been (mis)interpreted. I am open to changes to the draft example I presented, as long as an encyclopedic approach is favored that makes proper sense of the referenced source documents. I did not enter the Climate Change discussion purposely, I had only sought to link to Climate Change and found an article that did not meet my needs for accuracy.

Hi! I'm not sure if this is the most specific or fitting forum, but I was wondering if merge discussions have an automated and centralized discussion like moves do.
I know Template:Requested move exists, but I don't remember if there is an equivalent for merges. Likewise, I know that current move discussions are listed in WP:RM#C and that there is Wikipedia:Proposed article mergers, but from what I gather discussions that use the requested move template are listed automatically in WP:RM#C, while I'm not aware of a similar case with mergers. NoonIcarus ( talk) 21:25, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
Step 1: Create a place for discussion. Go to the Talk Page (also known as the discussion page) of the target article (the one you want to merge to) and create a section (eg: "Merger proposal") to discuss the merger. If there's already a discussion on the talk page regarding the merger, you can omit this step. Whether the discussion is new or old, make sure the discussion section names all articles involved and links to them. The section name can be anything that includes the word merge (for example
==Merger discussion==
).
Step 2: Put one of the merger tags at the top of the articles you wish to be merged. The templates {{ Merge from}} and {{ Merge to}}, or {{ merge}} are the most common ones. Remember to make sure that the Discuss link in each tag points to the section you've created in step 1 (this is to prevent having two separate discussions on different talk pages).
Hi, everyone! I recently edited the List of Most Expensive Cars Sold at Auction page, by adding the third line about the 1963 Ferrari 250 GTO which was sold at a private auction in 2018 for a price of $70 million.

Hi - First, I am new at this! Learning as much as I can so I improve my wikipedia editing skills. My question is: I have made several article edits, some of which consist of adding content to an article. These now appear on my Watch List (permanent). At this point, do I need to do another step or are these edits waiting to be reviewed prior to being accepted? If and when they are accepted, will they disappear from my Watch List? How does an editor know when the edits have been accepted? Thanks in advance! Letudo ( talk) 21:39, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi,
I am affiliated with the University of Richmond, and I know there are protocols around making edits for an organization with which you are affiliated. However, my institution just formally changed the name of its law school, and I would like the entry to correctly reflect that.
Specifically, on /info/en/?search=University_of_Richmond_School_of_Law, "T.C. Williams School of Law" needs to be changed to "University of Richmond School of Law" in two instances at the top. Here is an independent source for validation: https://www.nbc12.com/2022/09/23/uofr-changes-law-school-name-university-richmond-school-law/.

is used to create citations for signs, plaques, gravestones, and other non-video visuals.You do need to consider the reliability of the plaque. If it was installed by a government agency, museum or recognized historical society, it is probably reliable.
