provide good info for people that want to hear about the interesting things, but that's not how Wikipedia has been set up to work.

Hello Wikipedia and TeaHouse, I have recently created a forum on Theistic Satanism, and I am thinking of making SN Network a brand name. So I wanted to get the Website and Brand documented on Wikipedia.
I know that you're not supposed to upload personal topics with conflict of interest, and I have to clearly state it, so I stated the COI on my Profile Page and in the Summary of the Wiki.
What I am wondering is, will it be approved? How long will it take to be approved? Will Wikipedia delete it rather than post it?

Hi There Does anyone know if an article on an ancient bridge achieves a notability or not? Knowing that it was destroyed by floods and was rebuilt more than once, many Persian sources mention that the Sassanids, who lived in the period between (226-651) AD, built the bridge 1600 years ago, i.e. in the third century AD.

Hello Teahouse. I need help with an article I made. Draft:Jeff Ruby I felt that I was finished with it and submitted it for review. I waited for weeks for a review but realized I can submit it myself in what is called the article space? But I guess that is not the correct way to do it. I'm also unsure if I have a conflict of interest. I have met him a few times so I suppose I do have one? I don't know how to go about this. I made a Wikipedia account to edit the Cincinnati Reds page and decided to make a page for Jeff on a whim. I thought I did a good job with it. RickstarG ( talk) 13:48, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello there, and thank you so much for your help in advance!
I got this review before: I don't see anything there that would make this person inherently notable (if I've missed something, please point out), therefore notability must be established via WP:GNG which requires significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable, secondary sources. Arguably none of the sources cited meets these criteria.
I do think the person is notable enough as she is writing books for children to be prepared for natural hazards, climate change, etc. She has been working with different organizations such as UNDRR, UNICEF, World Vision, the World Meteorological Organization, among others. All these organizations add input to the books.
There are a few articles about her because she does not focus on her image, but on her work. Here is the article I'm working on: /info/en/?search=Draft:Martha_Keswick
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Many Thanks!!

Hello. I made a very interesting observation on one page. For the first time, I saw this kind of sentence on a Wikipedia page of /info/en/?search=Sustainable_Development_Policy_Institute
Under the Goals section, it says "These goals reflect the main axes of our work; the means through which we effect change."
Under the approach section, it says "We welcome your views and any inquiries you may have on our ([1]) website and/or organization as a whole."
This clearly shows that someone from the institute has written this page. This is ridiculously surprising. The page does have a Close connection notice on top. But, should such a page even exist?
Can someone please suggest if it is better to clean up this page or what should be done? I was going to clean it up, but then I saw that line. So, I wanted to get opinion. Thank you. ANLgrad ( talk) 15:27, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Also, @ Political Jazz: see the policy WP:NPOL. Generally low-level local politicians don't merit Wikipedia articles. If there are reliable sources having national or at least regional coverage (not local sources) of Pacific Northwest politics, then that subject might merit an article, but individual political figures likely would not. ~ Anachronist ( talk) 20:55, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello everybody, I recently submitted an article on Peter Cameron that has been declined 4 times, notwithstanding I tried to follow the suggestions in the comments, improving the draft and citing secondary sources (among which articles from the NYT and the LA Times).
We're talking about a well known author, who published short stories in a prominent magazine and novels translated into various languages, and who currently is present in wikis in other languages.
One of the reasons for the rejection seems to be that I might have a conflict if interest, but I clarified to one of the reviewers that I don't have any relation of whasoever kind with the author, nor with the sources I cited.
I should be really grateful if anyone would explain in clear terms why the article is judged not worthy of publication. Thanks for your help -- Lucretius ( talk) 21:47, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
I grew up reading Peter Cameron; he made me want to write.The influences section is definitely POV-ey, but someone else can synthesize the themes from the various reviews. It's not disqualifying to be a fan, but everything needs to be independently sourced. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 23:15, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
Thanks everybody for the comments, and thanks to TimTempleton for the help in improving sourcing! I agree that some of the sources I used are not independent and/or not reliable, and have to be discarded. To me the key aspect is that the author, as also Tim noted, has so far produced an ensemble of written works (some of which adapted into films) that to my eyes justifies an article in Wikipedia. Yes, I red Cameron's novels, and I can consider myself one of his fans. I tried to keep my personal opinions out of the article, but if the last paragraph sounds WP:POV, as Asparagusus says, it's fine with me to review it and make it more neutral. Please let me know if any of you has any other advice or recommendation. Thanks -- Lucretius ( talk) 08:15, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Why do foreign Admins usually abuse and frustrate our efforts? Its as if Admins from other parts of the world don't value or appreciate the context in which we in Africa write our articles.

Good Morning, I am curious about the process or rules that come with putting a political ideology in the first sentence of a Wikipedia article. I notice that a lot of Republican candidates have "far-right" in the first sentence of this article. Doing a quote search for "is an American far-right" in the wikipedia search bar, I'm seeing that this trend mostly applies to candidates in the 2022 elections, such as Darren Bailey, John Gibbs (government official), Dan Cox, and Doug Mastriano. I'm also seeing that this same sentence starter applies to Alex Jones, the American Nazi Party, and other people or groups that could actually hold this classification. Doing a quote search for "is an American far-left" gives you only one result for a person, Cathlyn Platt Wilkerson. I'm wondering what the Wikipedia rules are regarding this phenomenon, and why this trend seems to only pop up among candidates for office this cycle. I'm sure none of these people self-identify as "far-right", and putting these candidates on the same level as Alex Jones or Nazis seems harmful to our already polarized political environment and how people feel about using Wikipedia for political information. What are the rules on this sort of thing, and could this be changed? Thank you so much for your help. Putnam89 ( talk) 13:25, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi there! I have been working very hard on this page and it has been declined: Draft:Space Perspective. I understand that the language may be promotional and am happy to change - if anyone has any suggestions on how to improve it I would be very appreciative. Both CEO's have wikipedia pages, are referenced on other notable wikipedia pages, as well as Space Perspective being mentioned on other pages...
However, part of the message on why it was declined is that my references need to be notable. This area I am very lost on and have no idea what is wrong with my references specifically - I focused on on sourcing notable references, filling out their info, from a variety of independent sources, but still seem to not be hitting the mark - could someone help guide me on what is wrong with my references so I can correct?

Space Perspective is propelling ambitious, ground-breaking work in both the research and creative sectors and promoting dialogue and learning between the two., not to mention the entire section labeled "Mission". This sort of stuff should certainly be rewritten. As for references, they do not need to be notable - they need to be reliable.

If I start making an edit and have the edit window open for a long time (while looking for sources/formatting templates/irl distractions, etc.), and then someone else publishes an edit to the same page before I finish mine, what happens when I publish my edit?

at the top of the article before you start work, but it's usually simpler to make lots of small edits and publish them one at a time, or work on one section at a time offline or in your sandbox.

Hi, budding editor learning the ropes here. I'm comfortable making edits to the text of an article but am totally green regarding the use of images. I want to add an image to the infobox of Jason Benetti but am unsure exactly how to proceed. I found an image [2] of him (left) on Wikimedia Commons which I think is freely licensed based on my reading of Wikipedia:Image use policy (it's CC BY-SA 3.0) but I'm not 100% sure how to add it to the article, especially since the photo has 2 people in it and needs to be cropped to show only him.

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 (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies).Their additional comment was simply an additional comment. The sources are the problem.

Hi, I added a couple sources to the Salt (Cryptography) page, I'm wondering if "The Joy of Cryptography" and "A Graduate Course in Applied Cryptography" are reliable sources, both are self published / available for free online. Joy of Cryptography is self published by Associate Prof. Mike Rosulek from Oregon State Uni, and is used in courses at other colleges, info available on this page. Graduate Course in Applied Cryptography is also self published by two profs from Stanford, both previous sources are pulled from this UIUC course page. Course in Applied Cryptography is also a textbook for this course at UCSD. I'm also wondering whether its appropriate to remove the two cleanup tags at this point? Thanks!

Hi Teahouse, I’m working on a draft of an article that’s turning out to be date-heavy. I’m reading Wikipedia:Proseline#What should be done? which suggests that I’ll need to make a decision on whether it's a Wikipedia:Timeline or prose. Is there a set of tips or guidelines about how to make this decision? The Proseline essay doesn’t say too much, other than to try it both ways. Alternatively, if anyone knows of an article that accomplishes this (accommodating the needs for both prose and timeline) especially well, I will model this draft after it. Thank you for any tips.

"If requested in good faith and provided that the only substantial content of the page was added by its author."
What if the author are alternate accounts that you made and then abandoned? Do you still count as the author and can use the {{ Db-g7}} template, or must it be the alternate account that started the page who gets to delete it? I know it does say "If the sole author blanks a page other than a userspace page, a category page, or any type of talk page, this can be taken as a deletion request.", but then again the question still applies.

Hello, I am not a new editor and have created four categories before now, but I have a question on this one and I wanted to ask to make sure that this one would be correct to make before publishing. I was trying to find examples of artwork that has its own Wikipedia article that depicts the Rosary in it (such as this, this, and this), while trying to improve the page for the Rosary. I had a hard time finding these articles though and it made me think, would a category make this easier? As far as I am aware, categories starting with "Paintings depicting..." do not exist, which is why I wanted to ask here first as to not have the category be nominated for deletion if created. Categories such as "Paintings of..." do exist, but I am hesitant to name the category that, as these paintings do not have the Rosary as the primary focus in them, but they do "depict" them.

I've read about COI and getting listed as a Paid Contributor and such, but I'm struggling to understand the process and what to do to request the article be written about our film company. I'm not interested in the article being used as a marketing ploy or anything of that nature, we'd like it to be as neutral as possible actually. Our company has been mentioned in several industry newspapers as well as other Wikipedia articles of colleagues or other film companies that have contributed to producing films with us, not to mention the films that we have helped produce.

I'm a frequent contributor here, but now I have a question of my own.
I'm trying to figure out how WP:SURNAME should be applied consistently in articles about Pakistani officials.
For example, consider Ziauddin Butt. The subject is referred to as "Ziauddin" or "General Ziauddin" throughout the article. The very same article also refers to Nawaz Sharif in the lead as "Sharif" but in the article about him, he is referred to as "Nawaz". And yet the same lead paragraph also refers to General Pervez Musharraf as "Musharraf" and the article about him also refers to him as "Musharraf" not "Pervez".
If we were to be consistent with WP:SURNAME, how should those three articles refer to their subjects? There is no consistency between them now. ~ Anachronist ( talk) 20:48, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I was just wondering if there is a way to use the search function on Wikipedia to search for specific phrases used throughout Wikipedia. For example, is it possible for me to look up to see where a specific source is used throughout Wikipedia by somehow entering the URL, which would be reflected in the code for citations? Does that make sense? Thanks in advance, and I am happy to clarify if needed. TNstingray ( talk) 15:28, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

The infobox at the article for Chilean water crisis is very big, and I think it would be better to downsize it. However, it seems to be using some template magic with unintuitive parameter names, and I'm confused what to modify to scale the image down to something like 50% of it's original size.

A Nicopress swaged sleeve is a connector that gets crimped using a hand tool and die ( swaged). This type of compressed sleeve is commonly used to make mechanical or conductive connections. These sleeves join or terminate: wire rope, aircraft cable, synthetic cable, fibrous rope, or electrical conductor/cable

Obviously things like WP:V, WP:NPOV and WP:DUE take precedence over what a subject wishes their article to be about, and I've read WP:COI, but there are still gray areas.

Hello Wikipedia and TeaHouse, I have recently created a forum on Theistic Satanism, and I am thinking of making SN Network a brand name. So I wanted to get the Website and Brand documented on Wikipedia.
I know that you're not supposed to upload personal topics with conflict of interest, and I have to clearly state it, so I stated the COI on my Profile Page and in the Summary of the Wiki.
What I am wondering is, will it be approved? How long will it take to be approved? Will Wikipedia delete it rather than post it?

Hi There Does anyone know if an article on an ancient bridge achieves a notability or not? Knowing that it was destroyed by floods and was rebuilt more than once, many Persian sources mention that the Sassanids, who lived in the period between (226-651) AD, built the bridge 1600 years ago, i.e. in the third century AD.

Hello there, and thank you so much for your help in advance!
I got this review before: I don't see anything there that would make this person inherently notable (if I've missed something, please point out), therefore notability must be established via WP:GNG which requires significant coverage in multiple independent, reliable, secondary sources. Arguably none of the sources cited meets these criteria.
I do think the person is notable enough as she is writing books for children to be prepared for natural hazards, climate change, etc. She has been working with different organizations such as UNDRR, UNICEF, World Vision, the World Meteorological Organization, among others. All these organizations add input to the books.
There are a few articles about her because she does not focus on her image, but on her work. Here is the article I'm working on: /info/en/?search=Draft:Martha_Keswick
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Many Thanks!!

Hello. I made a very interesting observation on one page. For the first time, I saw this kind of sentence on a Wikipedia page of /info/en/?search=Sustainable_Development_Policy_Institute
Under the Goals section, it says "These goals reflect the main axes of our work; the means through which we effect change."
Under the approach section, it says "We welcome your views and any inquiries you may have on our ([1]) website and/or organization as a whole."
This clearly shows that someone from the institute has written this page. This is ridiculously surprising. The page does have a Close connection notice on top. But, should such a page even exist?
Can someone please suggest if it is better to clean up this page or what should be done? I was going to clean it up, but then I saw that line. So, I wanted to get opinion. Thank you. ANLgrad ( talk) 15:27, 7 October 2022 (UTC)

Also, @ Political Jazz: see the policy WP:NPOL. Generally low-level local politicians don't merit Wikipedia articles.

Hello everybody, I recently submitted an article on Peter Cameron that has been declined 4 times, notwithstanding I tried to follow the suggestions in the comments, improving the draft and citing secondary sources (among which articles from the NYT and the LA Times).
We're talking about a well known author, who published short stories in a prominent magazine and novels translated into various languages, and who currently is present in wikis in other languages.
One of the reasons for the rejection seems to be that I might have a conflict if interest, but I clarified to one of the reviewers that I don't have any relation of whasoever kind with the author, nor with the sources I cited.
I should be really grateful if anyone would explain in clear terms why the article is judged not worthy of publication. Thanks for your help -- Lucretius ( talk) 21:47, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
I grew up reading Peter Cameron; he made me want to write.The influences section is definitely POV-ey, but someone else can synthesize the themes from the various reviews.

Thanks everybody for the comments, and thanks to TimTempleton for the help in improving sourcing! I agree that some of the sources I used are not independent and/or not reliable, and have to be discarded. To me the key aspect is that the author, as also Tim noted, has so far produced an ensemble of written works (some of which adapted into films) that to my eyes justifies an article in Wikipedia. Yes, I red Cameron's novels, and I can consider myself one of his fans. I tried to keep my personal opinions out of the article, but if the last paragraph sounds WP:POV, as Asparagusus says, it's fine with me to review it and make it more neutral. Please let me know if any of you has any other advice or recommendation. Thanks -- Lucretius ( talk) 08:15, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Good Morning, I am curious about the process or rules that come with putting a political ideology in the first sentence of a Wikipedia article. I notice that a lot of Republican candidates have "far-right" in the first sentence of this article. Doing a quote search for "is an American far-right" in the wikipedia search bar, I'm seeing that this trend mostly applies to candidates in the 2022 elections, such as Darren Bailey, John Gibbs (government official), Dan Cox, and Doug Mastriano. I'm also seeing that this same sentence starter applies to Alex Jones, the American Nazi Party, and other people or groups that could actually hold this classification. Doing a quote search for "is an American far-left" gives you only one result for a person, Cathlyn Platt Wilkerson. I'm wondering what the Wikipedia rules are regarding this phenomenon, and why this trend seems to only pop up among candidates for office this cycle. I'm sure none of these people self-identify as "far-right", and putting these candidates on the same level as Alex Jones or Nazis seems harmful to our already polarized political environment and how people feel about using Wikipedia for political information. What are the rules on this sort of thing, and could this be changed? Thank you so much for your help. Putnam89 ( talk) 13:25, 11 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi there! I have been working very hard on this page and it has been declined: Draft:Space Perspective. I understand that the language may be promotional and am happy to change - if anyone has any suggestions on how to improve it I would be very appreciative. Both CEO's have wikipedia pages, are referenced on other notable wikipedia pages, as well as Space Perspective being mentioned on other pages...
However, part of the message on why it was declined is that my references need to be notable. This area I am very lost on and have no idea what is wrong with my references specifically - I focused on on sourcing notable references, filling out their info, from a variety of independent sources, but still seem to not be hitting the mark - could someone help guide me on what is wrong with my references so I can correct?

How to figure out the person notability? 2. What news articles are acceptable and how to figure that out if good to go ? 3. How many new articles need to be attached as a reference? 4. Is YouTube or social media videos are acceptable as a reference? 5. How to upload pictures of that person on the Wikipedia? And how to get it approved from it ? Should we pick directly from online and copyright ©️ it ? please help me out and guide me properly with these questions to write articles. ThomasAnthony23 ( talk) 07:29, 12 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello all and thank you in advance for any help. I am trying to get a page published that had previously been declined before I became involved. I have spent a lot of time reviewing guidelines to try and make it meet all Wikipedia guidelines. Would anyone please take a moment and offer suggestions. It is a relatively short page. Draft:FSD Pharma Also, I heard before that Wikipedia offers services to help ensure a page is proper, meeting all guidelines and requirements. Is this correct? If so, could someone provide me guidance as to where to purchase these services? We don't have any issue spending a few dollars to work directly with Wikipedia. Thanks again!

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 (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies).Their additional comment was simply an additional comment. The sources are the problem.

Hi, I added a couple sources to the Salt (Cryptography) page, I'm wondering if "The Joy of Cryptography" and "A Graduate Course in Applied Cryptography" are reliable sources, both are self published / available for free online. Joy of Cryptography is self published by Associate Prof. Mike Rosulek from Oregon State Uni, and is used in courses at other colleges, info available on this page. Graduate Course in Applied Cryptography is also self published by two profs from Stanford, both previous sources are pulled from this UIUC course page. Course in Applied Cryptography is also a textbook for this course at UCSD. I'm also wondering whether its appropriate to remove the two cleanup tags at this point? Thanks!

Hi Teahouse, I’m working on a draft of an article that’s turning out to be date-heavy. I’m reading Wikipedia:Proseline#What should be done? which suggests that I’ll need to make a decision on whether it's a Wikipedia:Timeline or prose. Is there a set of tips or guidelines about how to make this decision? The Proseline essay doesn’t say too much, other than to try it both ways. Alternatively, if anyone knows of an article that accomplishes this (accommodating the needs for both prose and timeline) especially well, I will model this draft after it. Thank you for any tips.

"If requested in good faith and provided that the only substantial content of the page was added by its author."
What if the author are alternate accounts that you made and then abandoned? Do you still count as the author and can use the {{ Db-g7}} template, or must it be the alternate account that started the page who gets to delete it? I know it does say "If the sole author blanks a page other than a userspace page, a category page, or any type of talk page, this can be taken as a deletion request.", but then again the question still applies.

Hello, I am not a new editor and have created four categories before now, but I have a question on this one and I wanted to ask to make sure that this one would be correct to make before publishing. I was trying to find examples of artwork that has its own Wikipedia article that depicts the Rosary in it (such as this, this, and this), while trying to improve the page for the Rosary. I had a hard time finding these articles though and it made me think, would a category make this easier? As far as I am aware, categories starting with "Paintings depicting..." do not exist, which is why I wanted to ask here first as to not have the category be nominated for deletion if created. Categories such as "Paintings of..." do exist, but I am hesitant to name the category that, as these paintings do not have the Rosary as the primary focus in them, but they do "depict" them. Any feedback is very much appreciated, thanks! Johnson524 ( Talk!) 02:18, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

I work for a film production company that's been involved in several films that have been released world wide. I've read about COI and getting listed as a Paid Contributor and such, but I'm struggling to understand the process and what to do to request the article be written about our film company. I'm not interested in the article being used as a marketing ploy or anything of that nature, we'd like it to be as neutral as possible actually. Our company has been mentioned in several industry newspapers as well as other Wikipedia articles of colleagues or other film companies that have contributed to producing films with us, not to mention the films that we have helped produce.

I'm a frequent contributor here, but now I have a question of my own.
I'm trying to figure out how WP:SURNAME should be applied consistently in articles about Pakistani officials.
For example, consider Ziauddin Butt. The subject is referred to as "Ziauddin" or "General Ziauddin" throughout the article. The very same article also refers to Nawaz Sharif in the lead as "Sharif" but in the article about him, he is referred to as "Nawaz". And yet the same lead paragraph also refers to General Pervez Musharraf as "Musharraf" and the article about him also refers to him as "Musharraf" not "Pervez".
If we were to be consistent with WP:SURNAME, how should those three articles refer to their subjects? There is no consistency between them now. ~ Anachronist ( talk) 20:48, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

I stumbled across Exocentric environment, which had no references. But upon Googling, it seemed almost every result used the definition copied from the wikipedia page or about another term with "exocentric" in the term's name. What do I do here? I don't think it can be deleted easily since it's now depended upon by a lot of outside sources. RPI2026F1 ( talk) 22:19, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
My grandfather was the skip of the Manitoba curling team in the 1933 MacDonald Brier and his name features in the article. His teammates have personal information but he does not. I am a newbie and to be honest not likely to become a regular author.

I went from this;
A Nicopress swaged sleeve is a mechanically swaged connector commonly used to make a mechanical or electro-mechanical connection. These sleeves join or terminate: wire rope, aircraft cable, synthetic cable, fibrous rope, or electrical conductor/cable
To this;
A Nicopress swaged sleeve is a connector that gets crimped using a hand tool and die ( swaged). This type of compressed sleeve is commonly used to make mechanical or conductive connections. These sleeves join or terminate: wire rope, aircraft cable, synthetic cable, fibrous rope, or electrical conductor/cable
What did I do wrong? I use these kinds of crimp connectors all the time, and I tried to make it readable and simple.
Nicopress is just a brand; with many listed brands on Amazon

If you read every item it is crimped.. which is more understandable IMHO.

I'm editing some articles about a couple of ship classes and their individual vessels. The thing about their infoboxes is that they should contain much of the same information across multiple articles. The ship class article uses "Infobox ship characteristics", but it doesn't seem ideal to me to duplicate all of the information across multiple articles. Can I create a new infobox template for each class that already includes this information? Is there a command I can include in the articles to import this information from WikiData?

I know of at least one bit of policy that allows us to omit information based on a subject's wishes - WP:DOB states that a birthday can be eschewed for a birth year in the case that the subject feels it's a violation of privacy. Is there a more general policy about this? Obviously things like WP:V, WP:NPOV and WP:DUE take precedence over what a subject wishes their article to be about, and I've read WP:COI, but there are still gray areas. More specifically, is there policy on a subject disliking their photo and suggesting it be replaced? If the new photo is freely licensed and generally representative, is it proper to do so?

A compromise would be to add a class, to allow that to be annulled by users in their custom CSS.
