My contributions are undone with double standards at /info/en/?search=Milan and the talk page reads controversial thus I am not there, do you think I should game over or go by its fate? Ontheteapot ( talk) 04:18, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
The Visconti of Milan uses the same image and states "child." The Biscione article and Talk page surprisingly do not clarify child vs. man, but it does raise the concept that the snake is disgorging the human, not swallowing. Alfa Romeo uses the biscione image in its logo. David notMD ( talk) 12:01, 15 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I have a question regarding this page ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Ken_Fulk ) that is in drafts. I have some minor edits to make. Should I make these changes, click publish and after sufficient changes are made, I should "Resubmit" the page? Or should I make a list of all the changes (separately), make all of them in one go, publish them, and hit "Resubmit"? Thanks in advance. Angelica Angeli ( talk) 06:20, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

Posting here because I couldn't find a specific discussion board on notability. I feel that the Wedding of Grover Cleveland and Frances Folsom might meet the requirements for notability given its historic significance and coverage, but when looking for precedent, I couldn't find a single wedding article on Wikipedia outside of Category:Royal weddings. I figured I'd ask for a second opinion before I created such an article. Thebiguglyalien ( talk) 19:15, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi, if someone adds a photo to an article that has a free licence but its linked to a website such as a travel agents or a car importer then is it ok to leave it in place? Or is it advertising? To clarify, there is nothing about the the website in the article, just a link when you click on the photo. Sorry if this isn't clear! Knitsey ( talk) 17:03, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
Knitsey, if a product is notable and the manufacturer publishes a high quality photo on their website under an acceptable Creative Commons license, then it is perfectly acceptable to upload that photo to Wikimedia Commons, to add the source URL and to use that photo in a Wikipedia article about that product. Of course, that general principle can be abused, so each edge case needs to be evaluated on its own merits. Cullen328 ( talk) 18:06, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

Would like some advice about this one. I reverted this edit to Pilpeled a few days ago and templated the user with guidance re possible CoI, as edit was unsourced and read promotional, and the editor's name is the same as that of the article subject. Pilpeled ( talk · contribs) has responded saying they had contacted the artist as part of their own studies and want to update the article. My sense is that this is not a CoI but a fan, and that the editor is therefore ok to update the article directly - but I'm wondering whether the editor should change their name, as others are likely to spot that the article title and username are the same and assume CoI. I have pointed the editor to referencing for beginners and to the neutrality policy. What do people think? Thanks. Tacyarg ( talk) 17:32, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
I'm working through a backlog of requested assessments for the Christianity Wikiproject, and came across the article on the theology of relational care. I'd like to propose that the article be deleted and redirected to Practical theology, but I see that there was already a nomination for deletion back in 2013 that ended without consensus. What's the procedure for reopening discussion on a possible deletion? Can I just add to the existing discussion page, even though that's generally discouraged? I'd just start a new discussion on the article's Talk page, but since the article has seen almost no edits in the last decade I doubt it'll draw much notice. Thanks for the help!

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022 video game) me and another editor had an argument about reliable sources such as Forbes. I was told that " CharlieINTEL posted a clip on Twitter explaining why reload canceling no longer works in Modern Warfare 2.'The saved state for a magazine is when it is removed, meaning you cannot cancel the reload after that point. It will force you to finish it regardless.'” was not a valid statement on how reloading works. and despite talking about it on the talk page I'm still very confused on why it was considered unreliable despite having a quote from a dev?

Hi there,
I've tried to create a page for Isabelle Boemeke, but the page keeps getting declined. However, I strongly believe she fits the criteria for a living biography page, having given a TED Talk, featured in Time Magazine, LA Times, Vice, Highsnobiety, CYBR Magazine and more. I'm not a skilled Wikipedia expert, so perhaps I struggled writing the page. Is there somewhere I can request a Wikipedia expert to create the page instead? I have disclosed that I am a paid client, so if a non-COI person can write the page, that would be helpful. See page here: Draft:Isabelle Boemeke

Noting that another ISO Technical Committee (ISO/TC 176 Quality Management) provided information about its work on Wikipedia, the ISO Technical Committee with which I work, ISO/TC 260 Human Resource Management decided it would be important to present information in Wikipedia and developed information-only article about the work and benefit to stakeholders all over the world. It was not a web hosting or marketing piece. However, I may have misunderstood the words "private sandbox". As I was entering information, before I could even finish initial entering of the text (no opportunity to even proofread), a popup "speedy deletion" occurred. Then, I clicked to contest the speedy deletion and explain. I wrote one sentence and another popup said everything I wrote was deleted because it was of no use. Here is the link to ISO/TC 260 HRM which is the main webhost https://www.iso.org/committee/628737.html (same, by the way for ISO/TC 176, which Wikipedia allows to publish and the factual information we were trying to post is completely congruent with the type of information that ISO/TC 176 posted). So, I'm confused. Doesn't Wikipedia want encyclopedia type information about what is happening in the world to benefit others? The reason ISO/TC 260 HR Management decided to post on Wikipedia is because the organization develops international standards and we noted some confusion about this in the market place. Our goal was to help ameliorate those gaps by providing factual information (with links to same). Instead, we were deemed for speedy deletion. Sadly, I posted on the Talk Page to try to get help and my request for help --similar to the above--was immediately deleted as inappropriate. Inappropriate in what way? I am completely confused. Any suggestions? Hope to hear from someone. Kind regards, Lorelei Carobolante Lcarobo ( talk) 22:52, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello Lcarobo I have pinged the responsible admin, and wrote an explanation why the sandbox should be "refunded" or undeleted. The page "private sandbox" was possibly what misled them. Please do not get discouraged. Your draft box should be a reasonable place to make good faith test/prep edits, without worrying about speedy deletion. On Wikipedia articles themselves, others have given you good advice about WP:TECHNICAL. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 01:17, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
Lcarobo, you do not need a clean start. and doing that would be a mistake because it would forbid you from ever writing about ISO standards ever again. What you need to do is study the General notability guideline and Your first article. Read and study and click on the links. A Wikipedia article about an ISO standard should not be based on what ISO or its people say about the standard. Instead, it should summarize what reliable published sources entirely independent of the ISO say about the standard. Cullen328 ( talk) 01:21, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

A non-technologically adept friend of mine has written his own version of an already existing wiki. The page is actually on him so he figures he's the best person to update it.
He made some initial changes to the page, which were reverted, and eventually got locked out because he didn't realize that he had to put references in. He's since given me the updated copy (with references included) and has asked me to update the page. Would it be fine if I essentially copied his words wholesale and replaced the already existing text? Thanks! CuriousConservator ( talk) 03:37, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
he figures he's the best person to update it, that is exactly the opposite of how Wikipedia operates.

For some weeks now I have left a "Proposed Text Revision" with 21 additional new “Notes” on en.Wikipedia's "No. 25 Squadron RAAF" Talk page.
The proposed revision has not attracted any adverse comment so in the near future I would like to "Publish" the revised text with its additional new "Notes" numbered 1 to 21; please note these additional new "Notes" are intended to supplement the webpage's existing Notes 1 to 10, not replace them.
However, I am genuinely worried that if I do "Publish" my revised text with its numbered additional new "Notes" 1-21 onto the "No. 25 Squadron RAAF" page that doing so will somehow erase completely, or 'alter' the existing references and their number order. I request any advice or help as to how I can prevent adversely affecting the existing "Notes" 1 to 10 in any way.
I hope my use of bold text does not offend in any way; it is purely to clarify my concern. Shellac41 ( talk) 11:17, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
Squadron aircraft participated in the protection of convoys ... off WA’s mid-west coast. (1)in the "history" section. Make an edit that only adds this text and reference, and have a look at the final result - does the reference appear correctly? Is the text well-formatted? etc. Don’t worry if you don’t get it right on the first edit - you can do further edits to correct possible mistakes.
As best I can comprehend, on the talk page you have copied the entire article, then added new content - underlined - and below that, your proposed references. To answer your last question, yes, when refs are inserted into the text properly bracketed by ref and /ref inside of < >, the software automatically puts superscripted numbers into the text and the refs listed under References. What you add will also automatically renumber the existing refs. A few suggestions: 1) Use your Sandbox to practice properly creating references. Once the ref works, you then copy it into the article. 2) As advised above, do work piecemeal rather than all at once. 3) For each edit, remember to concisely describe what you did in the Edit summary.

Hi! I wrote an article on radical empathy yesterday and it was declined because of no wish for neologisms. However, when deciding to write the article, I found another article on radical compassion, and thought an article on radical empathy would therefore also be suitable. Furthermore, the article is not just a term or definition, it is also an overview of different understandings of the term. I am wondering why the article on radical empathy is not considered suitable while the article on radical compassion is. Thank you for your help:)

Radical empathy is a term coined by several people... There is no clear consensus on the meaning of the term.This alone signals its failure to meet Wikipedia's standards.

The style requirements for the pages I am working on necessitate the use of – to produce an en dash. Methods such as inserting an en dash from the menu at the top which displays those most frequently used pieces of punctuation, or use of the alt code alt + 0150 produce the "–" symbol itself in Visual editing. This is not the desired outcome, and I have had to resort to copying an en dash from another entry in Visual editing in order to get the desired result when viewed in Source editing.
My question is simple. How, if indeed it is possible, do I type or produce an en dash in Visual editing that displays as – in Source editing without either copying it from an existing entry or using Source editing?

Ok, so I made a draft about a failed musical written by Stephen Sondheim, Square One. The draft was quickly reviewed and declined. One specific thing was said, “it probably isn’t notable if it hasn’t made it’s debut.” They also said I needed citations of substance, which given the context of the subject material, there is truly only so much a source can give. I feel as though the citations give context for what it is, who wrote it, specific important dates and timeframes. The reviewer obviously thought otherwise. Despite that I’m too stubborn to give up.

Using this example can you advise me how fill out Wiki's Trove template correctly so the Reference links properly and directly to the article on Trove?

Wikipedia uses historical present when describing events in a fictional narrative. However, there are fictional narratives that many people believe are literal history because of religion (examples: the stories of Job from the Bible and Abinadi or Moroni from the Book of Mormon). How should we describe the details of these stories?
Assume that the topic matters primarily for some reason other than its disputed historicity. For example, we would probably describe a false conspiracy theory as a series of claims by real people rather than as a narrative. But the story of Job is not just a disputed claim of fact; it matters mostly for other reasons. Rscragun ( talk) 20:42, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Greetings,
I have tried to post an article on Wikipedia, and it was rejected for the reasons below.
The reasons seem a bit unclear to me. Can I ask for advice? K.jawiei ( talk) 11:49, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello! I am trying to improve Busch Gardens Tampa Bay (BGT) to the best as I can, accurately. I am moving onto a section where the physical diameters of the park are to be addressed, with all sources reliable or not pointing to the figure 335-acre (136 ha) ( Example 1, Example 2 Example 3). As much as I could slap that statistic on the article and call it a day, historical reporting's point to a different number which amount to around the same acreage the park currently exists upon ( The Tampa Tribune). I found that via a county's property appraisal website a way to look up the park's parent company, SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, property. Individually, the total acreage owned by the company amounts to be ~ 353.58 acres (143.09 ha), the BGT park itself being a healthy 249.53 acres (100.98 ha) (minus parking lots or additional property belonging to sister water park Adventure Island).
The problem: no reliable sources support BGT being anywhere near its approximate acreage, and relate the total properties of SeaWorld's Tampa properties to the park's size. Is there a way I can cite the appraisal's website supporting its recorded 249.53 acres (100.98 ha)? If possible, how could I go about citing the total property that Busch Gardens lays upon with its sister park and additional lots owned by the parent company? Since the calculated amount, 353.58 acres (143.09 ha), differs from decades of coverage citing 335-acre (136 ha). Am I just plain wrong and need a trout? Any and all help would be appreciated!

hello, my account was blocked, and I don't understand why 88.12.3.152 ( talk) 11:12, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
I submitted a draft for this page. It was very simple, with a infobox and a couple paragraphs of body text. As a newbie, my plan was to make a minimal, non-controversial submission, and once any bugs were worked out and my understandings expanded, I'd add more. As I recall, the page included a link to the subject's blog page, to a list of his publications, and one other link.
To my surprise, the entire submission was deleted within hours of submission by Jimbleak, for reasons that I do not find satisfactory, but, based upon a very low level of experience, I tentatively assume his criticisms are indeed valid. I'd like to explore the criticisms compared to the submitted draft, but cannot find the draft anywhere. I'd like to recover the draft, understand and correct the errors, and resubmit it. How can I recover it?

Hello Teahouse. Relatively new editor (~200 edits in last month). First time editing Teahouse, hopefully I get this right (no visual editor available?)
I operate mostly in visual editor.
I find myself editing Wikipedia in the following fashion: 1. Find a reliable source like a newspaper, journal, or book. 2. Read through the source, follow the subjects in Wikipedia, edit the Wikipedia pages to add information from the source that may be missing from the articles.
So I find myself wanting to cite the same source but across multiple articles. I see how to re-use a citation from within the same article. Is there a way to re-use my "recently-used" citations? Is there a way to re-use a citation from another article? If not, any recommendations how I can request this feature from WMF? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vipavipa ( talk • contribs) 22:35, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello sir/madam, recently I have translated a another language Wikipedia page into
English using
Wikipedia:Content translation tool (reason: the page was not available in English) and the page was reviewed and it was successful and the page got published in the mainstream. I have also added relevant English citations to the translated content rather than the other original language citations.
My doubt here is:
1. Does it lead to copyright violation for not giving credits to the person of the original language creator?
2. Am I supposed to reward credits to the original creator?
3. Am I actually required to take permission from the original creator before translating?
4. If I am supposed to give credits since I violated the rule, what is the remedy available for me now?
I am really worried since it was my first Translation. Please guide me, Thank you 456legend( talk) 08:51, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I've been wondering what the rule is for pages of songs which were obscure upon their original release but had a much more popular cover version. I noticed that some of these are written as if they were only about the cover (with the lead infobox being about the cover), even though the opening sentence suggests otherwise. For example, Nothing Compares 2 U was originally written by Prince for The Family, but the article reads as if it were by Sinead O'Connor. Clearly, the version on which the article is centered isn't just the most popular version, as Respect is centered on the Otis Redding version, with the Aretha Franklin version as a subsection further down even though it's easily more popular. WP:NMG says that "[n]otable covers can have a standalone article provided it can be a reasonably-detailed article based on facts independent of the original", but these pages clearly aren't exclusively about the specific covers (using Nothing Compares 2 U as an example again, Prince's posthumously released solo demo version is included as a subsection), so what determines this?

This article is not well-sourced, reads like original research and doesn't make it clear why, or if, this house and garden is notable. There is a close version of the text at Lancashire Gardens Trust, which has some responsibility for the garden, but that text is dated 2019 whilst the Wiki article was created, essentially with the current text, in 2011. The text itself suggests it may originally have been written in 2007 as the history only goes as far as 2007 and there is a reference to "this very wet summer".
I haven't been able to find much online which could be added to the article, except the record of the Grade II listing and a mention in another biography of Leonora Carrington.

Knitsey, if a product is notable and the manufacturer publishes a high quality photo on their website under an acceptable Creative Commons license, then it is perfectly acceptable to upload that photo to Wikimedia Commons, to add the source URL and to use that photo in a Wikipedia article about that product. Of course, that general principle can be abused, so each edge case needs to be evaluated on its own merits. Cullen328 ( talk) 18:06, 17 October 2022 (UTC)

I reverted this edit to Pilpeled a few days ago and templated the user with guidance re possible CoI, as edit was unsourced and read promotional, and the editor's name is the same as that of the article subject. Pilpeled ( talk · contribs) has responded saying they had contacted the artist as part of their own studies and want to update the article. My sense is that this is not a CoI but a fan, and that the editor is therefore ok to update the article directly - but I'm wondering whether the editor should change their name, as others are likely to spot that the article title and username are the same and assume CoI. I have pointed the editor to referencing for beginners and to the neutrality policy. What do people think? Thanks. Tacyarg ( talk) 17:32, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
I'm working through a backlog of requested assessments for the Christianity Wikiproject, and came across the article on the theology of relational care. I'd like to propose that the article be deleted and redirected to Practical theology, but I see that there was already a nomination for deletion back in 2013 that ended without consensus. What's the procedure for reopening discussion on a possible deletion? Can I just add to the existing discussion page, even though that's generally discouraged? I'd just start a new discussion on the article's Talk page, but since the article has seen almost no edits in the last decade I doubt it'll draw much notice. Thanks for the help!

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022 video game) me and another editor had an argument about reliable sources such as Forbes. I was told that " CharlieINTEL posted a clip on Twitter explaining why reload canceling no longer works in Modern Warfare 2.'The saved state for a magazine is when it is removed, meaning you cannot cancel the reload after that point. It will force you to finish it regardless.'” was not a valid statement on how reloading works. and despite talking about it on the talk page I'm still very confused on why it was considered unreliable despite having a quote from a dev?

Hi there,
I've tried to create a page for Isabelle Boemeke, but the page keeps getting declined. However, I strongly believe she fits the criteria for a living biography page, having given a TED Talk, featured in Time Magazine, LA Times, Vice, Highsnobiety, CYBR Magazine and more. I'm not a skilled Wikipedia expert, so perhaps I struggled writing the page. Is there somewhere I can request a Wikipedia expert to create the page instead? I have disclosed that I am a paid client, so if a non-COI person can write the page, that would be helpful. See page here: Draft:Isabelle Boemeke

Noting that another ISO Technical Committee (ISO/TC 176 Quality Management) provided information about its work on Wikipedia, the ISO Technical Committee with which I work, ISO/TC 260 Human Resource Management decided it would be important to present information in Wikipedia and developed information-only article about the work and benefit to stakeholders all over the world. It was not a web hosting or marketing piece. However, I may have misunderstood the words "private sandbox". As I was entering information, before I could even finish initial entering of the text (no opportunity to even proofread), a popup "speedy deletion" occurred. Then, I clicked to contest the speedy deletion and explain. I wrote one sentence and another popup said everything I wrote was deleted because it was of no use. Here is the link to ISO/TC 260 HRM which is the main webhost https://www.iso.org/committee/628737.html (same, by the way for ISO/TC 176, which Wikipedia allows to publish and the factual information we were trying to post is completely congruent with the type of information that ISO/TC 176 posted). So, I'm confused. Doesn't Wikipedia want encyclopedia type information about what is happening in the world to benefit others? The reason ISO/TC 260 HR Management decided to post on Wikipedia is because the organization develops international standards and we noted some confusion about this in the market place. Our goal was to help ameliorate those gaps by providing factual information (with links to same). Instead, we were deemed for speedy deletion. Sadly, I posted on the Talk Page to try to get help and my request for help --similar to the above--was immediately deleted as inappropriate. Inappropriate in what way? I am completely confused. Any suggestions? Hope to hear from someone. Kind regards, Lorelei Carobolante Lcarobo ( talk) 22:52, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
Hello Lcarobo I have pinged the responsible admin, and wrote an explanation why the sandbox should be "refunded" or undeleted. The page "private sandbox" was possibly what misled them. Please do not get discouraged. Your draft box should be a reasonable place to make good faith test/prep edits, without worrying about speedy deletion. On Wikipedia articles themselves, others have given you good advice about WP:TECHNICAL. ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 01:17, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
Lcarobo, you do not need a clean start. and doing that would be a mistake because it would forbid you from ever writing about ISO standards ever again. What you need to do is study the General notability guideline and Your first article. Read and study and click on the links. A Wikipedia article about an ISO standard should not be based on what ISO or its people say about the standard. Instead, it should summarize what reliable published sources entirely independent of the ISO say about the standard. Cullen328 ( talk) 01:21, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

For some weeks now I have left a "Proposed Text Revision" with 21 additional new “Notes” on en.Wikipedia's "No. 25 Squadron RAAF" Talk page.
The proposed revision has not attracted any adverse comment so in the near future I would like to "Publish" the revised text with its additional new "Notes" numbered 1 to 21; please note these additional new "Notes" are intended to supplement the webpage's existing Notes 1 to 10, not replace them.
However, I am genuinely worried that if I do "Publish" my revised text with its numbered additional new "Notes" 1-21 onto the "No. 25 Squadron RAAF" page that doing so will somehow erase completely, or 'alter' the existing references and their number order. I request any advice or help as to how I can prevent adversely affecting the existing "Notes" 1 to 10 in any way.

Squadron aircraft participated in the protection of convoys ... off WA’s mid-west coast. (1)in the "history" section. Make an edit that only adds this text and reference, and have a look at the final result - does the reference appear correctly? Is the text well-formatted? etc. Don’t worry if you don’t get it right on the first edit - you can do further edits to correct possible mistakes.
As best I can comprehend, on the talk page you have copied the entire article, then added new content - underlined - and below that, your proposed references. To answer your last question, yes, when refs are inserted into the text properly bracketed by ref and /ref inside of < >, the software automatically puts superscripted numbers into the text and the refs listed under References. What you add will also automatically renumber the existing refs. A few suggestions: 1) Use your Sandbox to practice properly creating references. Once the ref works, you then copy it into the article. 2) As advised above, do work piecemeal rather than all at once. 3) For each edit, remember to concisely describe what you did in the Edit summary.

talk) 18:08, 21 October 2022 (UTC)There is an article, but I forget what its called so I'd have no idea where to begin, where there is a term for the phenomenon where some news story starts off being born almost of wikipedia genesis or creation, and then news reporters trust WP enough apparently, that they go to WP and then cite that, and then it becomes real. Because now a reliable source has stated it, which is then citable on WP. That seems to me to be a potential for systemic problems. Is there anyone who has proposed a method to fix that, and does anyone know what it is that I am talking about and what it is called again? TY. — Moops ⋠ T⋡ 20:55, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
I'm trying to get some help in making this article i made days ago to an official page on Wikipedia. If you want to read it, here's the link: Draft:Slap Battles
Apparently my draft got rejected because it lacks in-depth, reliable, secondary, or independent sources. May one of you find out what sources related to the topic meet this criteria?

Hi, I just submitted a draft for review for the first time. I composed the draft in my sandbox, then submitted it, and it suggested I move it to draft space, which I did. The page showed a message reminding me to clean up after the move, but I'm afraid I don't understand what steps need to be done to do so, even after reading the links. I fear I broke something. As I understand it, my sandbox is currently a redirect page and I have to do something to free up my sandbox to compose another article for submission. Is this right? Thank you kindly for your time.

Asking that an Admin give an opinion on United States Polo Association. Recently, a single-purpose editor User:MadelynBlum has been adding a lot of content, either verbatim from the USPA website (reverted and warned about copyright infringement), or else in my opinion closely paraphrased from same site. My concerns are two: 1) Is much of the current content promotional to a degree that article should be Speedy deleted? 2) Given the majority (all?) of references are to USPA sources, should the article be AfD'd? I strongly believe that the Association is article-worthy given its long history, but am troubled by its current state. David notMD ( talk) 19:24, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi. I searched about film director Raj Mehta but his Wikipedia page is redirected 1 to movie Good Newwz. I think he is now notable enough to have his own Wikipedia page. He has directed hit movies like Good Newwz, Jugjugg Jeeyo and Ajeeb Daastaans. He also wrote the dialogues of Good Newwz. Previously he assisted in movies like Badrinath Ki Dulhania and Kapoor & Sons. He was also nominated by Filmfare Awards for Best Debut Director. My question is how do we remove the redirect? Thanks.

Hello! My article was recently declined a second time, although I edited it after receiving the first feedback. I thought I addressed raised points, but apparently, there's still something I'm missing. Would it be possible to receive more detailed feedback so I can ensure that the article won't be rejected again?
Here's the article in question: Draft:SUBTLE – The Subtitlers' Association. I tried to use articles of similar associations as a template/inspiration, e.g. Institute of Translation & Interpreting, European Association for Studies in Screen Translation, Translators Association.
To be honest, I fail to see how my article "read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia" compared to them. Is it more about the phrasing of specific paragraphs or insufficient notability of the subject?

I'm sure this is plainly addressed somewhere, but I can't find a guideline or MOS page that cleanly spells it out. I know that citation templates are generally a matter of personal preference, but are there circumstances where I should prioritize one over the others or that one might be better suited (for example, using Template:Sfn over Template:Harvnb and Template:Rp)? And more specifically, how does this apply to citing specific chapters in a book?

The style requirements for the pages I am working on necessitate the use of – to produce an en dash. Methods such as inserting an en dash from the menu at the top which displays those most frequently used pieces of punctuation, or use of the alt code alt + 0150 produce the "–" symbol itself in Visual editing. This is not the desired outcome, and I have had to resort to copying an en dash from another entry in Visual editing in order to get the desired result when viewed in Source editing.
My question is simple. How, if indeed it is possible, do I type or produce an en dash in Visual editing that displays as – in Source editing without either copying it from an existing entry or using Source editing?

Ok, so I made a draft about a failed musical written by Stephen Sondheim, Square One. The draft was quickly reviewed and declined. One specific thing was said, “it probably isn’t notable if it hasn’t made it’s debut.” They also said I needed citations of substance, which given the context of the subject material, there is truly only so much a source can give. I feel as though the citations give context for what it is, who wrote it, specific important dates and timeframes. The reviewer obviously thought otherwise. Despite that I’m too stubborn to give up. So if I wanted to get it published, what is my next step? Morgo0915 ( talk) 02:37, 23 October 2022 (UTC)

Under the articles "References" heading it shows, as a link, as follows:
"CITY OF PERTH: Deeds of R.A.A.F. Squadron: The West Australian, Perth, WA; page 4, 25 August 1945". Trove. National Library of Australia. Retrieved 15 September 2022.
However, when I double-click on this reference I just get an error message "Title 51765008 could not be found." but if I if you copy the articles title "CITY OF PERTH: Deeds of R.A.A.F. Squadron" to https://trove.nla.gov.au/search/advanced/category/newspapers the newspaper article comes up right away.
Using this example can you advise me how fill out Wiki's Trove template correctly so the Reference links properly and directly to the article on Trove?

You need to learn how to incorporate your list of references into the text. When you do that properly, the software automatically inserts a ref number in the text and puts the numbered references under References. See Help:Referencing for beginners.

Wikipedia uses historical present when describing events in a fictional narrative. However, there are fictional narratives that many people believe are literal history because of religion (examples: the stories of Job from the Bible and Abinadi or Moroni from the Book of Mormon). How should we describe the details of these stories?
Assume that the topic matters primarily for some reason other than its disputed historicity. For example, we would probably describe a false conspiracy theory as a series of claims by real people rather than as a narrative. But the story of Job is not just a disputed claim of fact; it matters mostly for other reasons. Rscragun ( talk) 20:42, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello! I am trying to improve Busch Gardens Tampa Bay (BGT) to the best as I can, accurately. I am moving onto a section where the physical diameters of the park are to be addressed, with all sources reliable or not pointing to the figure 335-acre (136 ha) ( Example 1, Example 2 Example 3). As much as I could slap that statistic on the article and call it a day, historical reporting's point to a different number which amount to around the same acreage the park currently exists upon ( The Tampa Tribune). I found that via a county's property appraisal website a way to look up the park's parent company, SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment, property. Individually, the total acreage owned by the company amounts to be ~ 353.58 acres (143.09 ha), the BGT park itself being a healthy 249.53 acres (100.98 ha) (minus parking lots or additional property belonging to sister water park Adventure Island).
The problem: no reliable sources support BGT being anywhere near its approximate acreage, and relate the total properties of SeaWorld's Tampa properties to the park's size. Is there a way I can cite the appraisal's website supporting its recorded 249.53 acres (100.98 ha)? If possible, how could I go about citing the total property that Busch Gardens lays upon with its sister park and additional lots owned by the parent company? Since the calculated amount, 353.58 acres (143.09 ha), differs from decades of coverage citing 335-acre (136 ha). Am I just plain wrong and need a trout? Any and all help would be appreciated!

I submitted a draft for this page. It was very simple, with a infobox and a couple paragraphs of body text. As a newbie, my plan was to make a minimal, non-controversial submission, and once any bugs were worked out and my understandings expanded, I'd add more. As I recall, the page included a link to the subject's blog page, to a list of his publications, and one other link.
To my surprise, the entire submission was deleted within hours of submission by Jimbleak, for reasons that I do not find satisfactory, but, based upon a very low level of experience, I tentatively assume his criticisms are indeed valid. I'd like to explore the criticisms compared to the submitted draft, but cannot find the draft anywhere. I'd like to recover the draft, understand and correct the errors, and resubmit it.

This page is informative, but it seems to be lacking key features like a table of contents among others. Usually I see those template message things at the top of those pages, but I don't see one. I also don't know much about the topic, and I don't know the proper way to help the page out by sending it to the proper group, putting the template message, etc. Thanks so much!

Hi, to whoever can help me get through this. My name is DJ Demmerneck. I am a music artist with lots of music on very different platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok, Instagram, etc.. I was wondering on how I can get my own wikipedia page for my artist name? If anyone can help me, please let me know.
Hope we can work together on someone showing me how to do it properly or if someone can make one for me.

Hello. On the wiki article about October 25, i added the birth to Roy fox, because he wasn't there on the list. The edit i made was removed afterwards because I didn't "include any sources".

I am a communications professional working with a non-profit organization, Arthritis Foundation which exists as a resource to the one in four American adults who have been diagnosed with a form of arthritis, and 300,000 children with Juvenile Arthritis. Some of the information on the existing page is outdated or incomplete. I understand there are rules about who can update information. May someone from inside the organization do it? May I do it as an agent and communications professional? Or do we need to locate someone unrelated to Arthritis Foundation to do it. If the latter, where do I find an authorized writer? Thank you.

Hello Teahouse. Relatively new editor (~200 edits in last month). First time editing Teahouse, hopefully I get this right (no visual editor available?)
I operate mostly in visual editor.
I find myself editing Wikipedia in the following fashion: 1. Find a reliable source like a newspaper, journal, or book. 2. Read through the source, follow the subjects in Wikipedia, edit the Wikipedia pages to add information from the source that may be missing from the articles.
So I find myself wanting to cite the same source but across multiple articles. I see how to re-use a citation from within the same article. Is there a way to re-use my "recently-used" citations? Is there a way to re-use a citation from another article? If not, any recommendations how I can request this feature from WMF? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vipavipa ( talk • contribs) 22:35, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

I found an article that is solely and entirely about the failed project. It had a wide variety of useful information to help shape the project to look more useful and finished.

Godson Umeh (born 11 September 1995) is a British-Nigerian jewelry designer based in London, Who is known for his handcrafted custom jewellery, He is a founder of Godson Jewelry. That is an atrocious run-on sentence with terrible capitalization that has no place in an encyclopedia. The reference that you propose to support that sentence is to a website that is obviously regurgitating press releases or public relations activities by the subject of your draft. This is exactly the wrong way to try to write an encyclopedia article. Your draft fails to make a convincing case that this person is notable. Cullen328 ( talk) 05:50, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello sir/madam, recently I have translated a another language Wikipedia page into
English using
Wikipedia:Content translation tool (reason: the page was not available in English) and the page was reviewed and it was successful and the page got published in the mainstream. I have also added relevant English citations to the translated content rather than the other original language citations.
My doubt here is:
1. Does it lead to copyright violation for not giving credits to the person of the original language creator?
2. Am I supposed to reward credits to the original creator?
3. Am I actually required to take permission from the original creator before translating?
4. If I am supposed to give credits since I violated the rule, what is the remedy available for me now?
I am really worried since it was my first Translation. Please guide me, Thank you 456legend( talk) 08:51, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Dear Teahouse reader,
I have submitted the article 'Radiosands' for review 6 months ago, and have been waiting 6 months for approval but there has not yet been a review. The same article has already been published in the German language here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiosands I would be happy to link the English translation of the German page to the already existing German page. You can find the draft page of the English version here: Draft:Radiosands
It would be very helpful if the English page could be reviewed soon.

Would appreciate some takes on this. I reverted the addition of some unsourced family and community history to Shelley, British Columbia, but am concerned that the article as it stands contains a lot of sourced content (local newspaper) about named and non-notable people of the recent past. Looks like WP:OR. I'm having difficulty sorting the actually notable events and people from the run of the mill content. Article has been tagged for possibly too much detail for two years. Any views on what could or should be cut would be helpful. Thanks. Tacyarg ( talk) 19:26, 24 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I've been wondering what the rule is for pages of songs which were obscure upon their original release but had a much more popular cover version. I noticed that some of these are written as if they were only about the cover (with the lead infobox being about the cover), even though the opening sentence suggests otherwise. For example, Nothing Compares 2 U was originally written by Prince for The Family, but the article reads as if it were by Sinead O'Connor. Clearly, the version on which the article is centered isn't just the most popular version, as Respect is centered on the Otis Redding version, with the Aretha Franklin version as a subsection further down even though it's easily more popular. WP:NMG says that "[n]otable covers can have a standalone article provided it can be a reasonably-detailed article based on facts independent of the original", but these pages clearly aren't exclusively about the specific covers (using Nothing Compares 2 U as an example again, Prince's posthumously released solo demo version is included as a subsection), so what determines this?

Hi WIkipedians,
I'm working on improving the article for The Mac Weekly student newspaper. It was deleted in 2018 because it was very short and deemed not notable enough.
My rewrite was just re-deleted because it didn't contain enough secondary sources. I've since added some, could someone review it and give me feedback before I try publishing again? It's in my sandbox, I'm not sure if/how drafts work: User:Sockwell162/sandbox.
Also, there are a lot of sources for the notable alumni section, most of which are from the paper's archives. Is this ok? If not, what should I change?

This article is not well-sourced, reads like original research and doesn't make it clear why, or if, this house and garden is notable. There is a close version of the text at Lancashire Gardens Trust, which has some responsibility for the garden, but that text is dated 2019 whilst the Wiki article was created, essentially with the current text, in 2011. The text itself suggests it may originally have been written in 2007 as the history only goes as far as 2007 and there is a reference to "this very wet summer".
I haven't been able to find much online which could be added to the article, except the record of the Grade II listing and a mention in another biography of Leonora Carrington.
Where would you go with this one? Severe pruning feels like the best option to me, but I wanted to check I wasn't underplaying the possible copyvio issue. Tacyarg ( talk) 01:06, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
