Hello, i have been making contributions without an account. I just made an account finally and was wondering if there is anyway I can now link my contributions to this account. Zagerk ( talk) 06:07, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
/info/en/?search=March_of_Dimes While making year end donations, I tried to research the March of Dimes. After finding several online article about a sudden and controversial defunding of researchers 9n 2018, I came to Wikipedia to see additional information. The history of the organization ends before the time of the controversy. It's as if it is 2017. This made me wonder if someone deleted or blocked the later history. It just doesn't "smell" right. 2603:8001:C900:8A0C:A5FD:A5E3:59D1:B70C ( talk) 06:10, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
I saw an error in an article "Silicon" and I tried to log in. I could not remember my password so I logged in generically. Unfortunate I am at a tech college and the IP is shared by the college. Someone made a bad edit on an unrelated page and then my edit was flagged with a warning due to that bad edit from this IP, not by me. I since recalled my password and want to claim that edit. IS THIS POSSIBLE? IF SO HOW? I-mt ( talk) 00:03, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedia Stewards,
My name is Alia Walsh, I am an equestrian who is very involved in the Equestrian Industry and I have a lot of knowledge on the current international equestrians. I recently joined Wikipedia to be able to make some slight changes to some equestrian's pages - who I am related to.
Unfortunately, I did not know enough about Wikipedia to make successful edits. This lead to my 'indefinite block'. I would like to have the chance to explain myself, to redeem your trust and have a second chance in the wikipedia community, which I very much want to be a part of.
First all, I would like to express my appreciation to wikipedia stewards like yourselves, as well as my admiration to the work you and the large number of editors do. Without your dedication, wikipedia would never be as successful as it is today, it is incredible the amount of impact and help that wikipedia has provided to many people all across the world.
After doing some more research on the topic, I would like to explain my actions and how I am going to amend them in the future, to be able to be part of the community in a non-disruptive way. Bearing in mind I did not have knowledge on wikipedia and how it worked, I have now learned that it appears I can some what be related to a conflict of interest with the article I edited: Cian O'Connor. I now understand that my conflict of interest violates wikipedia's policies. To make this right, if I am allowed to, I would like to declare having a conflict of interest and work to fix the issues that this has generated to the pages I have contributed to. As a first step I would request deleting the paragraph found under Cian O'Connor named as 'Karlswood Stables'. I now understand that there is not a neutral point of view and does not adhere to the 'biographies of a living person policy' and therefore should not be on the page. I would like to amend that, and to state that from now on I will put forward edit requests so that the eligible editors can review and edit my content if deemed relevant.
The following topic relevant for me to explain myself, is the fact I was constantly trying to upload pictures. I believed that since they were of my own source. I have now learned that all images uploaded to wikipedia must have one of the accepted licensing such as cc-by or cc-by-sa. I will not make this mistake again and I am fully committed to following the guidelines now that I am aware of them. I have researched images that comply with the licensing and I can suggest those to be used instead.
One of the biggest mistakes I made was to create a second account after my first block. I now understand this is a very disrespectful thing to do. I would like to mention I created the second account using my same name, with my work email address. I was not trying to have another identity, but only have access to the page to be able to edit my mistakes which I had already identified. However, I know that is no excuse and I would like to apologise for that.
Another topic to address, is the fact that I deleted the tags given to my post. I believed these were tags shown only for my account, not in a public way. I deleted them constantly, thinking that those were my warnings. I apologise very much for doing so, I would like to express that my mistakes are completely innocent, I did not mean to be disrespectful or be disruptive. I had simply not done enough research.
Additionally, I did not check my notifications during the time I was editing. That lead me to not seeing or answering any of the complaints and warnings posted to my page. I would never intentionally ignore warnings, in any case. I unfortunately did not know to check them. I now check my inbox on a daily basis, and I have replied to all the warnings immediately, as soon as I had realised my mistake.
I have learned that what I've done is wrong. I have done research and I have learned how to make meaningful contributions abiding by the policies. I strongly believe I can be a useful contributor to wikipedia and it's community. I would love a second chance and to work together with other editors, to be able to provide truthful and interesting edits to the pages related to the equestrian industry.
I would really appreciate the consideration of being unblocked, as well as the chance to talk to you stewards, perhaps through email, so I can communicate with you and be sure that I do not make any mistakes again, if I am granted with a second chance to be a wikipedia editor.
Thank you very much for your time, please feel free to contact me at any time. 86.43.64.234 ( talk) 07:45, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
SITUATION: Account is User:Aliawalsh22. History of warnings, indefinite block, global block and failed appeals are at User talk:Aliawalsh22. The query above by IP 86.43.64.234 is considered a block evasion. The only recourse for the editor is to submit a better block appeal at the original account.

The thing is, I’m very good at history/geopolitics stuff, and I’ve edited some pages like that, but the Geography Section that is in some pages is a bit confusing. I have the information, but I do not know the format to write it. Currently, this page is the Dubrovnik page.

Hello. I recently created a page for the etymology of the Persian word "رای." I was trying to enter my citations but i got an error stating that I was spamming. The error also said that I could get my account banned, which i obviously do not want. Could somebody elaborate why this is? or possibly enter the citation for me? this is the citation I would like to enter:
Qaemmaqami, A. R., & Khatebey, A. (2013, July 9). رای و رأی ([New Persian] rāy and [arabic] ra'y). Academia.edu. Retrieved December 9, 2022, from https://www.academia.edu/3992194/%D8%B1%D8%A7%DB%8C_%D9%88_%D8%B1%D8%A3%DB%8C_New_Persian_r%C4%81y_and_Arabic_ra_y_
This is the link to the page:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D8%B1%D8%A7%DB%8C
There is also a Persian word "رای" of Arabic origin, however the words are distinct in their etymology and pronunciation. Maybe Wikitionary thought I was creating another page for a word that already has a page? I am very confused and would greatly appreciate some assistance.

How can I become an Administrator and become a good wikipedian — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheAutumns ( talk • contribs) 19:04, 9 December 2022 (UTC)
I'm working on a draft for an entry in my user space, and I'd like to save it since writing the entry is a multi-day process. The problem is that I don't see a "save" button (or anything else) in my user space, and I haven't been able to find the answer online. I wrote my previous article using my sandbox, so this didn't come up. I've just been leaving my window open, but this is making me nervous since I don't know how often or if Wikipedia autosaves.

He has wiped the internet of his real age and due to the fact that he works with children I think it is important to be added.

Hi! First-time Wikipedia editor here. I created an awards table in the Gabrielle Zevin article. In 2005 she was longlisted for the Otherwise Award, which was then called the James Tiptree Jr. Award. The name changed occured in 2019. I linked to the wiki article on the award, link reads as Jame Tiptree Jr. Award, which is also the name I put down as the award category. Is this correct? And what's the general protocol for name changes? Thanks! Snowflower2 ( talk) 18:29, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi, I’m a bit strapped for time, also have zero experience as a Wikipedia editor so apologies and TIA if anyone is willing to help.
I’ve just come across a page which was has already been flagged for NPOV but hasn’t been touched since 2009. imv it would be worth updating this page to reflect academic criticisms as WP is making efforts to get pages up about women this seems a great page to update but I’m so newb it would be great to get in touch with an experienced editor focussed on psychology just to ask a few preliminary questions about the research involved eg. I cannot find any responses from her re: lit review through scholar.g She’s also done considerable work since 2009 in the same area of research but slightly tangential so it might be that I’m looking in the wrong place to find any response. best regards TIA EthicalAugur ( talk) 09:03, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
EthicalAugur, I took a look at the article Sonja Lyubomirsky. I am not impressed. For example the lead tells us that she's the author of the bestseller The How of Happiness: A Scientific Approach to Getting the Life You Want, a book of strategies backed by scientific research that can be used to increase happiness. Well, booze, dope, exercise, "retail therapy" and more can be used with the aim of increasing happiness. This doesn't mean that they're efficacious. I suppose that what's meant by both Lyubomirsky and the cited source is that these "strategies" really are efficacious. And for all I know, they are. But what's the cited source? The institution of which Lyubomirsky is an employee. Not good! (It should be a disinterested source.) So feel free to improve the article. Start with minor and modest improvements (scrupulously referenced), and continue to rather more substantial improvements (also scrupulously referenced). Always click "Show preview" and check what you've done before clicking "Publish changes". You say that you think you may be "looking in the wrong place to find any response" relevant to Lyubomirsky's work. I'm not a psychologist and neither are most people looking at this talk page; a better place to ask would be Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Psychology. -- Hoary ( talk) 04:37, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

I have come across (or added) names of people, organisations, companies, and things that probably merit Wikipedia articles. Some are subjects of articles that already exist on other wikis, some are good candidates for WP:WiR, and a few just seem like obvious omissions that someone may wish to pursue. I will pick up what I can (time permitting), though it would take me years to contribute something about all of them. What are the best forums to bring these to the attention of others?

all elections in California are non-partisanis incorrect. Presidential primary elections in California remain fully partisan. Voters can still designate a party affiliation when they register to vote. In the last ten years, it is true that California law has allowed people to cross party lines in primary elections for Congress, the state legislature, governor and other top statewide offices, but candidates for those offices can and do declare their party affiliation on the ballot.

Hello Wikipedians!
What are the best tools to automate reference creation?
I have seen
Help:Citation_tools and tried a few (not all), but haven't found the
solution yet.
There is a plugin to Firefox which automatically creates references. Very smooth, but the format of those references could IMO be better.
Is there some other tool that you know of or could recommend?

hi there, wiki administration
First, I apologize for not understanding the copyright restrictions.
One of our company profiles should be posted on Wikipedia to assist our customers in finding information using Wikipedia's best detailed system.
So, I tried to include our firm profile and other information that is already on our website. I used several common words in both my online and wiki introductions. I saved it as a draft, but today I received information that a copyright issue had been transferred from our company's website to our wiki profile. However, we have not received any copyright notices or emails.
If you allow me to back up the work you've removed or construct a fresh one, it will be more beneficial to reproduce with the directions you've previously warned about.
Thank you to the wiki team for working on authentication and perfection. In the same way, guide us. We'll provide an excellent platform for the people.

or vice versa. This isn't the result of superior intelligence or proficiency. (I'm quite thick.) Instead, it's the result of syntax highlighting. If I got the inequality symbol wrong, the resulting colour in my edit window would be wrong. Very unfortunately, I enabled syntax highlighting so long ago that I've completely forgotten how I did so -- and even when I look for it, I can't find it. (Did I mention that I'm quite thick?)

Reason I am writing is that for the last thirty years I have worked as an executive coach/therapist in the UK and one of my initial trainings was in Family Therapy and how Family of Origin Dynamics plays out in the boardroom in both Government and the Corporate world.
However it now appears to me that most of that training has been overtaken by recent and emerging neurobiological research indicating how extended childhood trauma, or Complex PTSD, can lead to the Epigentic shutdown, via DNA Methylation, of the genetic capacity to produce Dopamine, Serotonin, etc ..
I've had a good look at the Family of Origin Dynamics of Putin, Trump, Johnson,( UK ),Bolsanaro, Mark Zuckerberg ,The Koch brothers and others , who all experienced extended child hood trauma. It appears to me that the Dopamine, Serotonin etc. shutdown findings to date correlate with and go a long way to explaining how and why these people behave in the toxic and dysfunctional ways they do. They evidently have large followings, as it also appears from emerging data, that approx 40% of the US adult population experienced extended traumatic child hoods making them very susceptible to strong aggressive leadership and easily triggered into a fight , flight or freeze response.
To me the implications of Dopamine shutdown as a result of Complex PTSD have huge mental health policy and strategic implications and there seems to be so little awareness of this emerging research.
Reason I am writing to you is that I am seeking further and current research findings that review and elucidate on the topic of DNA methylation and its affect on adult behaviour and psychology especially as I have a number of colleagues and journalists interested in the topic who wish to see more of the current research before going public with it.
Any current research papers or publications on the above topic you could refer me to would be greatly appreciated
I trust this email is received in the spirit of its intent
Many thanks

Hi, I'm trying to edit the page for Aplysina fistularis. The information under "Reproduction" is uncited, but I found that the Oceana site listed under "External links" contains this information as well as other information that could be used to expand the article.
Looking at WP:EXT confuses me, because I don't know where the line is drawn with specifically "information that could not be added to the article for reasons such as [...] amount of detail."
Would it be okay to move it from an external source to a proper reference? Thank you.

I've come across the article
Umbilicus erectus while editing on Wikipedia earlier today, and I found its heading unusual. In particular, this line:
Umbilicus erectus, the reniform Venus' navel (also sometimes nabelkraut or ombelico di Venere reniforme)
The alternate common names seem to be specific to German and Italian respectively, and I didn't find evidence of their use in English. Nonetheless, they are real common names.
This seems to be intuitive to be removed, since Wikipedia is not a dictionary and doesn't need to provide translations to other languages unless appropriate. Yet, when exactly would other languages' common names be appropriate to add?
Erasmia pulchella is a page for a moth species where the Chinese and Japanese common names are talked about in much more detail, with provided etymology and them being clearly marked as Chinese/Japanese. Is that appropriate? The Chinese/Japanese names and etymologies are sourced by references in the same language, rather than a different one. Does this count as primary sourcing rather than secondary sourcing – without establishing notability – or do different rules apply here? Randi Moth ( talk) 18:25, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
I'm working on Leeds 13, a conceptual art collective at University of Leeds in the late-1990s. L13 keep an archive of their publicity outputs, mostly newspaper clippings scanned as TIFs or JPGs, many of them marked UoL Press Office.
However, many of these articles no longer/never existed on their respective newspaper websites so I don't have a value for the url field. And without url I can't use archive-url to reach the scan in the L13 archive. I could use the URL of the L13 scan as url, but that doesn't feel quite right.
Any thoughts on how to handle this?

Could someone indicate where in WP is the style addressed for truncated links for national football team designations. I believe that the word for the nation involved should be based on what is the grammar of the name from the originating nation, not the imposed grammar by others particularly when in most instances the style used is the name of the nation, not the nationality. In fact the vast majority of instances in WP already show a preponderance for the name of the nation. Do a search on any nation's national football team title. Another instance is that the WP article titles by far cite nation name as that is what the article concerns, not the "Nationality football team". As a case in point: Mexico national football team. The foundation of the translation is the word from their title of the organization, Mexico, not Mexicano or Mexicana. Some nationals do not even require you are a citizen of the country. Another example of truncated nation titles is that only the name of the nation is included, not the nationality. Some clear guidance needs to be provided so that there is not confusion especially when people contribute and thinking that Mexican national football tea is officially accepted article title when it is not. Of course there will always be those that insist the only reference to a nation's name in a truncated link has to be "grammatically correct" but it is a title that you do not change out of respect for the title derived from the originating language. We do not say United Stateian or Englandian. 2603:8000:D300:D0F:A4A9:1E1:30A5:4340 ( talk) 2603:8000:D300:D0F:A4A9:1E1:30A5:4340 ( talk) 20:38, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

A couple days ago the page Malina (mythology) looked like this. No proper citations.
So I looked into it, and tracked down several versions that cite where they heard the story from:
What's not included in any of these cited versions is the name "Malina".
One more half-source is Frank Wilbert Stokes's painting in the Eskimo Hall of the American Museum of Natural History in 1909. It's the image that's the artwork for both the pages Malina (mythology) and Igaluk. In the pamphlet on it, the figures' names are spelled Ahn-ing-ah-neh and Sukh-eh-nukh -- clearly an early attempt to spell Aningaat and Siqiniq.
Plus, "Malina" doesn't even sound like an Inuit word. Initially I thought it was just an usual name. But with this as well, I now think it's an internet myth.
I've done a write-up of the cited versions here. Since the name Malina is wrong, and the page Igaluk is basically just a clone of it since its the same story, I think the best thing to do now would be to delete the pages and create a single new page called "Sun and Moon (Inuit myth)" or something. What's the protocol around such things? Eievie ( talk) 00:08, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
In the myth the sun is called Malina , no doubt a derivative of the verb maligpoq ' she is pursued ' , the name of the persecuted woman in the cult; the name of the moon is given as Aningat , which signifies "their elder brother". So, it is not an internet myth. Cullen328 ( talk) 01:43, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
On sait que les gens du Mackenzie et les Groenlandais orientaux nomment la fille - soleil Malina (Maligna) , contrairement aux autres groupes qui lui réservent le nom de Seqineq (Suqunuq)My French skills are crude at best but it seems that this verifies the usage as well.

Hello everyone,
I am writing a wikipedia page about a museum in Cyprus and was hoping for reassurance that my references were good. The museum has two buildings, one in Nicosia and one in Limassol. Both are run/founded by the same artist and serve the same purpose. The first museum building opened in 2008 and the second opened in 2019, they are notable for being the only museums dedicated to printmaking on the island and their founder Hambis Tsangaris is an important artist of printmaking and Cypriot folk art. I think anyone interested in the history of the museums and this artist's life story and art would benefit from a wiki page.
I have references from a wikipedia page, a book, a short YouTube documentary, online newspapers and magazines. Could I share a few of them here and ask if they are appropriate for the Wikipedia page I want to write.
My references for the museums include:
Platanisteia (the wiki page of the village where the museum is)
https://mycyprusinsider.com/top-5-museums-off-the-beaten-track/ a travel website which writes about the museum

FOR THE CURIOUS: "dead as a doornail" dates back to the 1300s. Iron nails were hammered into doors with the heads visible from the outside, either as a decorative pattern or else to bind boards together. Either way, the protruding point on the inside was hammered sideways so as to be flush with the inside of the door. Such a nail, bent, could not be straightened and used again because the bend section would be weak, hence 'dead'. Including ImDeadAsADoornail in this missive.

Hi friends. I recently added a stub for a new article on a French artist who seems interesting, and just unveiled a monumental work in my area. It was pretty quickly moved over to a new(ish?) namespace called "Draft".
OK, I can see how a Draft namespace could make sense, and I have no particular problem with it, so I played by the rules in the draft notification, fixed the article up enough I guess for initial publication, and then clicked the bit blue "Submit for Review" button.
This reveals that there's a waiting list of something like 4 months. This kind of thing seems sort of, well, un-wiki (wiki means quick). So I reckoned I would come back here and ask about it.
So, can I just publish the draft on my own? Is this not considered acceptable in 2022? I mean, I understand that pages created in good faith are constantly attacked by people acting in bad faith, so rules have their reasons, but still, it seems like the foundational idea here is to gather knowledge through quick creation and improvement of articles.
Anyway, I know the community has been through a lot, so I bow to your collective wisdom. Mark J ( talk) 19:28, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

I'm a new editor who would like to start improving the Worker Protection Standard page. Much of it is outdated and at least one link goes to a non-existent website. It also doesn't really fit with the mode of style for other laws and/or regulations. The biggest issue, however, is that the latter half of it is comprised of DoD (Department of Defense?) worker protection information which has nothing to do with protecting agricultural workers from pesticides. The information presented appears to be valuable so I don't want to just arbitrarily WP:Blank it. Should we use a disambiguation page and create separate pages for each (which I don't know how to do yet) or would it be better for me to just copy/paste the irrelevant parts to the Talk page so I can start working on it?

Can someone please help me with this: what are the best sources for the draft page at Tirrito Cars Italy? There are so many websites talking about the company’s 3-concept car series on the internet, but I can’t find any sources that talk about the company. The only one I could find was the one source on the Internet Archive. ThomasDuhTankEngine2843 ( talk) 20:54, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
ThomasDuhTankEngine2843, The Italian firm currently has only a series of concept cars [...] By "currently has", do you perhaps mean "years ago had"? (I infer from the draft's external links that the company's website is dead.) Production was planned to 50 units and each unit was priced around $500,000. They were never mass-produced. No surprise there, if only fifty were planned. Were any sold? The impression I get from the draft is that this (like rather a lot of companies advertising expensive cars) is merely a defunct advertiser of vaporware. If it has been taken seriously by writers who are worth taking seriously, it could be notable; but until persuaded otherwise, I'd start with the assumption that it isn't notable. -- Hoary ( talk) 02:22, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Was wondering why some very credible people are listed as "Conspiracy Theorist"? This was a term invented at the time of the Kennedy to demonize any with alternative theory to what now seem impossible. Every cop. military planner, investigator conspire to theorize. They truely are conspiracy theorist. But would it damage them to have that above they're name and picture on this site. I believe it would. When I see Experts in a field listed as conspiracy theorist on this site it seems this site is not interested in either the facts or engaged in demonization against the person. A demonization title to discredit? I don't understand why that would be a title over someones picture unless thats all they do or have done. If one feels the need such a bogus title that litterally means a theory of two or more planning were would it end? Why not let people decide. Who decides who is a conspiracy theorist? Also that would make anyone on this site working with a co-worker to cowrite, edit etc.. a conspirator and me a conspiracy theorist for mentioning it. I have a theory this site conspires in subjectivity therefor im a conspiracy theorist by definition. So it's basically just name calling, demonization, arbitraty and capricious. Is this of fact? It's very subjective simply because we all are conspirators, all have conspiracy theory so is it just that certain people are to be demonized? Does that now mean that title goes above the ablum I've written, produced etc... the work in the oil industry, the electrical fabrication, plans, installs etc.. No I believe. It's just a part of me not a title. I'm sorry it just comes across as demonization in arbitrary capricious manner. Is they're work examined for validity or fact? Who decides lifetimes of expert factual work get stuck under a heading of conspiracy theorist? I believe this is more product of cancel culture. I also believe that some may warrant mention but not title. Not of relevence is the sense due to conspiracy theory has been misued and breaks further our langauge. Would it not be more prudent to simply list the claims as unproven or open/unfounded theory and allow people to conclude? Just the facts or is it just more propaganda? 69.169.10.167 ( talk) 22:14, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi,
I have to admit to finding the Q&A environment confusing. When I post something it seems to get archived very quickly so when I see a reply it goes to a ‘content has been moved or deleted pop-up 9x out of ten.
My questions are: 1) how often is this archiving? 2) is it automatic or manual (ie can I rely on it being after a precise amount of time so I know I should check back within x days)? 3) if someone does reply and I can’t find their reply because it’s archived somewhere is that considered fine or is it poor etiquette? 4) when I can find a record of the edit that was there answer I can see an option ‘thank’. my reflex is to use that but then I wondered does it just jam up another editor’s inbox and so better saved for when someone has done some serious work in a collaborative context or as advocacy in a dispute over editing?

Hi,
I was wondering whether or not using different reference templates in the same article is against Wikipedia's guidelines? I created an article awhile back ( this one) and I decided, for stylistic reasons, to use different templates: the shortened footnotes as well as the typical <ref></ref> template. However, I've read that an article must have a consistent citation style and was wondering if this applies to reference templates. I have seen other articles do a similar thing, but I'm unsure if they are properly adhering to Wikipedia's guidelines.

I thoroughly enjoyed the article on Lydia (Rose) Weld, who was aunt to the person who raised me. When "Great Aunt Rose" heard in 1959 that my sister and I were to be sent to Baldwin School, a boarding school in Bryn Mawr, PA, she fired off a letter to my Aunt Dotty, Lydia's niece, in which she described her experience at Miss Baldwin's school, which she (and her twin sister Violet) attended in the late 1800's. It is a wonderful description, in her own words, of the school and of her world at the time. It's no question that she was a remarkable woman. Though only related to her by marriage, I am grateful to have heard the description of her experiences at Baldwin.
My Aunt Dotty died in 1986, and I always assumed that her Aunt Rose's letter was part of papers that she had saved. I spoke of the letter to other family members, and one of them located it, and sent it to me. I am elated to at last have it in my possession!
The question that now occurs to me is, can it be included in her Wikipedia page? If so, how? I have scanned the material, some of which is descriptive and not by her, but nevertheless interesting. The remaining pages were undoubtedly by her. I have a few family stories shared by those who knew her personally, but I don't know if they would add anything meaningful. The existing article, as far as it goes, seems accurate to me. Can the letter she sent to her niece be included in the page? Please let me know. I have scanned the pages, and can send them to you.
Sincerely yours,

I drafted the article about a company that does significant work supporting a specific JDK and JRE: /info/en/?search=Draft:BellSoft. This support is essential for the software developers' community because it allows them to have a choice. Sometimes a new company decides which environment to use in their devices or software bundles to rely on Java (or a language also compiled to Java bytecode). If the company has a choice, it's better for everybody. Thus, it's important to share the knowledge about the choice.
If someone unfamiliar with software development in Java reads my drafted article, it may not look clear enough. It needs improvement.
Therefore, I'd suggest first improving the Java Runtime Environment article, which a reader of my article may first look at, if they are not familiar with the topic enough. To be precise, Java Runtime Environment needs to be created because now it redirects to /info/en/?search=Java_(software_platform)#Java_Runtime_Environment. It is much harder to read and understand than, for example, https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/cloud-native-apps/what-is-a-Java-runtime-environment.

Hello, I'm a relatively new user who has been working on translating a few articles from Japanese Wikipedia to English. I've just hit autoconfirmed status today, which as far as I know allows me to create new articles, including articles that are primarily translations of articles from other Wikis. I've been using the Content Translation tool to work because it's 1000x more convenient to use than plain text editing and it's just sort of where Wikipedia first pushed me when I first started. However, publishing anything directly through this tool seems to be a privilege reserved exclusively by extended confirmed users (which I am a long ways away from); but I am allowed to "save the article as a draft", which results in the article just being published to my user page. My question is, how would I go about changing this draft to a "real" article without losing all the fancy Wikipedia formatting stuff? I'm aware there's also some tagging stuff relating to attribution I have to do as well since it's a translation of another Wiki's article, and I'm not ready to actually publish it just yet, I just want to know how I'll have to go about doing that when the time comes.

It has recently surpassed US$25 milliionas if that is an impressive figure. It isn't and you misspelled "million". You describe "funding rounds" as if that makes this company notable although every startup goes through funding rounds, and the dollar figures are not impressive, but you try to inflate the importance by making the unreferenced assertion that the investors are

Hi,
I recently uploaded some images on commons while editing this page. One of the images which is a page 2 of a series of images was marked for deletion. It is a screenshot of participants of an event...I facilitated the event, took the images with a software, and uploaded it. I have also uploaded quite a number of screenshot in the past without an issue. I'm wondering if there's a rule about screenshot I'm not aware of, please share link if any.

"misuse of Wikipedia as a web host". keep in mind the purpose of Wikipedia is not to promote people or anything in any way, but to be a factual, neutral encyclopedia with equally factual, neutral articles (which means you cannot promote your subject at all - you have to describe them objectively as if you are a detached researcher, not working for pay, writing about what you have read elsewhere)
I appreciate your advice on how to improve my article on Draft:Yaoi hole, which was declined on the grounds of notability.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Dear Wikipedia Stewards,
My name is Alia Walsh, I am an equestrian who is very involved in the Equestrian Industry and I have a lot of knowledge on the current international equestrians. I recently joined Wikipedia to be able to make some slight changes to some equestrian's pages - who I am related to.
Unfortunately, I did not know enough about Wikipedia to make successful edits. This lead to my 'indefinite block'. I would like to have the chance to explain myself, to redeem your trust and have a second chance in the wikipedia community, which I very much want to be a part of.
First all, I would like to express my appreciation to wikipedia stewards like yourselves, as well as my admiration to the work you and the large number of editors do. Without your dedication, wikipedia would never be as successful as it is today, it is incredible the amount of impact and help that wikipedia has provided to many people all across the world.
After doing some more research on the topic, I would like to explain my actions and how I am going to amend them in the future, to be able to be part of the community in a non-disruptive way. Bearing in mind I did not have knowledge on wikipedia and how it worked, I have now learned that it appears I can some what be related to a conflict of interest with the article I edited: Cian O'Connor. I now understand that my conflict of interest violates wikipedia's policies. To make this right, if I am allowed to, I would like to declare having a conflict of interest and work to fix the issues that this has generated to the pages I have contributed to. As a first step I would request deleting the paragraph found under Cian O'Connor named as 'Karlswood Stables'. I now understand that there is not a neutral point of view and does not adhere to the 'biographies of a living person policy' and therefore should not be on the page. I would like to amend that, and to state that from now on I will put forward edit requests so that the eligible editors can review and edit my content if deemed relevant.
The following topic relevant for me to explain myself, is the fact I was constantly trying to upload pictures. I believed that since they were of my own source. I have now learned that all images uploaded to wikipedia must have one of the accepted licensing such as cc-by or cc-by-sa. I will not make this mistake again and I am fully committed to following the guidelines now that I am aware of them. I have researched images that comply with the licensing and I can suggest those to be used instead.
One of the biggest mistakes I made was to create a second account after my first block. I now understand this is a very disrespectful thing to do. I would like to mention I created the second account using my same name, with my work email address. I was not trying to have another identity, but only have access to the page to be able to edit my mistakes which I had already identified. However, I know that is no excuse and I would like to apologise for that.
Another topic to address, is the fact that I deleted the tags given to my post. I believed these were tags shown only for my account, not in a public way. I deleted them constantly, thinking that those were my warnings. I apologise very much for doing so, I would like to express that my mistakes are completely innocent, I did not mean to be disrespectful or be disruptive. I had simply not done enough research.
Additionally, I did not check my notifications during the time I was editing. That lead me to not seeing or answering any of the complaints and warnings posted to my page. I would never intentionally ignore warnings, in any case. I unfortunately did not know to check them. I now check my inbox on a daily basis, and I have replied to all the warnings immediately, as soon as I had realised my mistake.
I have learned that what I've done is wrong. I have done research and I have learned how to make meaningful contributions abiding by the policies. I strongly believe I can be a useful contributor to wikipedia and it's community. I would love a second chance and to work together with other editors, to be able to provide truthful and interesting edits to the pages related to the equestrian industry.
I would really appreciate the consideration of being unblocked, as well as the chance to talk to you stewards, perhaps through email, so I can communicate with you and be sure that I do not make any mistakes again, if I am granted with a second chance to be a wikipedia editor.
Thank you very much for your time, please feel free to contact me at any time. 86.43.64.234 ( talk) 07:45, 9 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello. I recently created a page for the etymology of the Persian word "رای." I was trying to enter my citations but i got an error stating that I was spamming. The error also said that I could get my account banned, which i obviously do not want. Could somebody elaborate why this is? or possibly enter the citation for me? this is the citation I would like to enter:
Qaemmaqami, A. R., & Khatebey, A. (2013, July 9). رای و رأی ([New Persian] rāy and [arabic] ra'y). Academia.edu. Retrieved December 9, 2022, from https://www.academia.edu/3992194/%D8%B1%D8%A7%DB%8C_%D9%88_%D8%B1%D8%A3%DB%8C_New_Persian_r%C4%81y_and_Arabic_ra_y_
This is the link to the page:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D8%B1%D8%A7%DB%8C
There is also a Persian word "رای" of Arabic origin, however the words are distinct in their etymology and pronunciation. Maybe Wikitionary thought I was creating another page for a word that already has a page? I am very confused and would greatly appreciate some assistance.

Hi, I’m a bit strapped for time, also have zero experience as a Wikipedia editor so apologies and TIA if anyone is willing to help.
I’ve just come across a page which was has already been flagged for NPOV but hasn’t been touched since 2009. imv it would be worth updating this page to reflect academic criticisms as WP is making efforts to get pages up about women this seems a great page to update but I’m so newb it would be great to get in touch with an experienced editor focussed on psychology just to ask a few preliminary questions about the research involved eg. I cannot find any responses from her re: lit review through scholar.g She’s also done considerable work since 2009 in the same area of research but slightly tangential so it might be that I’m looking in the wrong place to find any response. best regards TIA EthicalAugur ( talk) 09:03, 8 December 2022 (UTC)
EthicalAugur, I took a look at the article Sonja Lyubomirsky. I am not impressed. For example the lead tells us that she's the author of the bestseller The How of Happiness: A Scientific Approach to Getting the Life You Want, a book of strategies backed by scientific research that can be used to increase happiness. Well, booze, dope, exercise, "retail therapy" and more can be used with the aim of increasing happiness. This doesn't mean that they're efficacious. I suppose that what's meant by both Lyubomirsky and the cited source is that these "strategies" really are efficacious. And for all I know, they are. But what's the cited source? The institution of which Lyubomirsky is an employee. Not good! (It should be a disinterested source.) So feel free to improve the article. Start with minor and modest improvements (scrupulously referenced), and continue to rather more substantial improvements (also scrupulously referenced). Always click "Show preview" and check what you've done before clicking "Publish changes". You say that you think you may be "looking in the wrong place to find any response" relevant to Lyubomirsky's work. I'm not a psychologist and neither are most people looking at this talk page; a better place to ask would be Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Psychology. -- Hoary ( talk) 04:37, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

all elections in California are non-partisanis incorrect. Presidential primary elections in California remain fully partisan. Voters can still designate a party affiliation when they register to vote. In the last ten years, it is true that California law has allowed people to cross party lines in primary elections for Congress, the state legislature, governor and other top statewide offices, but candidates for those offices can and do declare their party affiliation on the ballot.

Hello Wikipedians!
What are the best tools to automate reference creation?
I have seen
Help:Citation_tools and tried a few (not all), but haven't found the
solution yet.
There is a plugin to Firefox which automatically creates references. Very smooth, but the format of those references could IMO be better.
Is there some other tool that you know of or could recommend?

hi there, wiki administration
First, I apologize for not understanding the copyright restrictions.
One of our company profiles should be posted on Wikipedia to assist our customers in finding information using Wikipedia's best detailed system.
So, I tried to include our firm profile and other information that is already on our website. I used several common words in both my online and wiki introductions. I saved it as a draft, but today I received information that a copyright issue had been transferred from our company's website to our wiki profile. However, we have not received any copyright notices or emails.
If you allow me to back up the work you've removed or construct a fresh one, it will be more beneficial to reproduce with the directions you've previously warned about.
Thank you to the wiki team for working on authentication and perfection. In the same way, guide us. We'll provide an excellent platform for the people.

If I got the inequality symbol wrong, the resulting colour in my edit window would be wrong. Very unfortunately, I enabled syntax highlighting so long ago that I've completely forgotten how I did so -- and even when I look for it, I can't find it. (Did I mention that I'm quite thick?)

My recent contribution to the Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention noticeboard (and a few preceding entries) are delted with a double strike-through. I've seen WP:REVDEL before with a single strike, but the article doesn't explain what double strike means!

I lived in Riverhead N.Y. and know the Riverhead Raceway advertises and lists their track as one quarter mile in length, Wikipedia presently incorrectly states it is .20, 1/5 of a mile. I do not want to register or edit w/ my ip address exposed. Can this be updated by someone for accuracy purposes? To the lay person one fifth or 1/4 is little difference but to a race fan it's a glaring mistake. Thank you K.Blasko 47.17.0.239 ( talk) 16:52, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Reason I am writing is that for the last thirty years I have worked as an executive coach/therapist in the UK and one of my initial trainings was in Family Therapy and how Family of Origin Dynamics plays out in the boardroom in both Government and the Corporate world.
However it now appears to me that most of that training has been overtaken by recent and emerging neurobiological research indicating how extended childhood trauma, or Complex PTSD, can lead to the Epigentic shutdown, via DNA Methylation, of the genetic capacity to produce Dopamine, Serotonin, etc ..
I've had a good look at the Family of Origin Dynamics of Putin, Trump, Johnson,( UK ),Bolsanaro, Mark Zuckerberg ,The Koch brothers and others , who all experienced extended child hood trauma. It appears to me that the Dopamine, Serotonin etc. shutdown findings to date correlate with and go a long way to explaining how and why these people behave in the toxic and dysfunctional ways they do. They evidently have large followings, as it also appears from emerging data, that approx 40% of the US adult population experienced extended traumatic child hoods making them very susceptible to strong aggressive leadership and easily triggered into a fight , flight or freeze response.
To me the implications of Dopamine shutdown as a result of Complex PTSD have huge mental health policy and strategic implications and there seems to be so little awareness of this emerging research.
Reason I am writing to you is that I am seeking further and current research findings that review and elucidate on the topic of DNA methylation and its affect on adult behaviour and psychology especially as I have a number of colleagues and journalists interested in the topic who wish to see more of the current research before going public with it.
Any current research papers or publications on the above topic you could refer me to would be greatly appreciated
I trust this email is received in the spirit of its intent

I've come across the article
Umbilicus erectus while editing on Wikipedia earlier today, and I found its heading unusual. In particular, this line:
Umbilicus erectus, the reniform Venus' navel (also sometimes nabelkraut or ombelico di Venere reniforme)
The alternate common names seem to be specific to German and Italian respectively, and I didn't find evidence of their use in English. Nonetheless, they are real common names.
This seems to be intuitive to be removed, since Wikipedia is not a dictionary and doesn't need to provide translations to other languages unless appropriate. Yet, when exactly would other languages' common names be appropriate to add?
Erasmia pulchella is a page for a moth species where the Chinese and Japanese common names are talked about in much more detail, with provided etymology and them being clearly marked as Chinese/Japanese. Is that appropriate? The Chinese/Japanese names and etymologies are sourced by references in the same language, rather than a different one. Does this count as primary sourcing rather than secondary sourcing – without establishing notability – or do different rules apply here? Randi Moth ( talk) 18:25, 13 December 2022 (UTC)
I'm working on Leeds 13, a conceptual art collective at University of Leeds in the late-1990s. L13 keep an archive of their publicity outputs, mostly newspaper clippings scanned as TIFs or JPGs, many of them marked UoL Press Office.
However, many of these articles no longer/never existed on their respective newspaper websites so I don't have a value for the url field. And without url I can't use archive-url to reach the scan in the L13 archive. I could use the URL of the L13 scan as url, but that doesn't feel quite right.
Any thoughts on how to handle this?

Could someone indicate where in WP is the style addressed for truncated links for national football team designations. I believe that the word for the nation involved should be based on what is the grammar of the name from the originating nation, not the imposed grammar by others particularly when in most instances the style used is the name of the nation, not the nationality. In fact the vast majority of instances in WP already show a preponderance for the name of the nation. Do a search on any nation's national football team title. Another instance is that the WP article titles by far cite nation name as that is what the article concerns, not the "Nationality football team". As a case in point: Mexico national football team. The foundation of the translation is the word from their title of the organization, Mexico, not Mexicano or Mexicana. Some nationals do not even require you are a citizen of the country. Another example of truncated nation titles is that only the name of the nation is included, not the nationality. Some clear guidance needs to be provided so that there is not confusion especially when people contribute and thinking that Mexican national football tea is officially accepted article title when it is not. Of course there will always be those that insist the only reference to a nation's name in a truncated link has to be "grammatically correct" but it is a title that you do not change out of respect for the title derived from the originating language. We do not say United Stateian or Englandian. 2603:8000:D300:D0F:A4A9:1E1:30A5:4340 ( talk) 2603:8000:D300:D0F:A4A9:1E1:30A5:4340 ( talk) 20:38, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

A couple days ago the page Malina (mythology) looked like this. No proper citations.
So I looked into it, and tracked down several versions that cite where they heard the story from:
What's not included in any of these cited versions is the name "Malina".
One more half-source is Frank Wilbert Stokes's painting in the Eskimo Hall of the American Museum of Natural History in 1909. It's the image that's the artwork for both the pages Malina (mythology) and Igaluk. In the pamphlet on it, the figures' names are spelled Ahn-ing-ah-neh and Sukh-eh-nukh -- clearly an early attempt to spell Aningaat and Siqiniq.
Plus, "Malina" doesn't even sound like an Inuit word. Initially I thought it was just an usual name. But with this as well, I now think it's an internet myth.
I've done a write-up of the cited versions here. Since the name Malina is wrong, and the page Igaluk is basically just a clone of it since its the same story, I think the best thing to do now would be to delete the pages and create a single new page called "Sun and Moon (Inuit myth)" or something. What's the protocol around such things? Eievie ( talk) 00:08, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
In the myth the sun is called Malina , no doubt a derivative of the verb maligpoq ' she is pursued ' , the name of the persecuted woman in the cult; the name of the moon is given as Aningat , which signifies "their elder brother". So, it is not an internet myth. Cullen328 ( talk) 01:43, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
On sait que les gens du Mackenzie et les Groenlandais orientaux nomment la fille - soleil Malina (Maligna) , contrairement aux autres groupes qui lui réservent le nom de Seqineq (Suqunuq)My French skills are crude at best but it seems that this verifies the usage as well.

Hello everyone,
I am writing a wikipedia page about a museum in Cyprus and was hoping for reassurance that my references were good. The museum has two buildings, one in Nicosia and one in Limassol. Both are run/founded by the same artist and serve the same purpose. The first museum building opened in 2008 and the second opened in 2019, they are notable for being the only museums dedicated to printmaking on the island and their founder Hambis Tsangaris is an important artist of printmaking and Cypriot folk art. I think anyone interested in the history of the museums and this artist's life story and art would benefit from a wiki page.
I have references from a wikipedia page, a book, a short YouTube documentary, online newspapers and magazines. Could I share a few of them here and ask if they are appropriate for the Wikipedia page I want to write.
My references for the museums include:
Platanisteia (the wiki page of the village where the museum is)
https://mycyprusinsider.com/top-5-museums-off-the-beaten-track/ a travel website which writes about the museum

FOR THE CURIOUS: "dead as a doornail" dates back to the 1300s. Iron nails were hammered into doors with the heads visible from the outside, either as a decorative pattern or else to bind boards together. Either way, the protruding point on the inside was hammered sideways so as to be flush with the inside of the door. Such a nail, bent, could not be straightened and used again because the bend section would be weak, hence 'dead'. Including ImDeadAsADoornail in this missive.

Hi friends. I recently added a stub for a new article on a French artist who seems interesting, and just unveiled a monumental work in my area. It was pretty quickly moved over to a new(ish?) namespace called "Draft".
OK, I can see how a Draft namespace could make sense, and I have no particular problem with it, so I played by the rules in the draft notification, fixed the article up enough I guess for initial publication, and then clicked the bit blue "Submit for Review" button.
This reveals that there's a waiting list of something like 4 months. This kind of thing seems sort of, well, un-wiki (wiki means quick). So I reckoned I would come back here and ask about it.
So, can I just publish the draft on my own? Is this not considered acceptable in 2022? I mean, I understand that pages created in good faith are constantly attacked by people acting in bad faith, so rules have their reasons, but still, it seems like the foundational idea here is to gather knowledge through quick creation and improvement of articles.
Anyway, I know the community has been through a lot, so I bow to your collective wisdom. Mark J ( talk) 19:28, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

I'm a new editor who would like to start improving the Worker Protection Standard page. Much of it is outdated and at least one link goes to a non-existent website. It also doesn't really fit with the mode of style for other laws and/or regulations. The biggest issue, however, is that the latter half of it is comprised of DoD (Department of Defense?) worker protection information which has nothing to do with protecting agricultural workers from pesticides. The information presented appears to be valuable so I don't want to just arbitrarily WP:Blank it. Should we use a disambiguation page and create separate pages for each (which I don't know how to do yet) or would it be better for me to just copy/paste the irrelevant parts to the Talk page so I can start working on it?

Can someone please help me with this: what are the best sources for the draft page at Tirrito Cars Italy? There are so many websites talking about the company’s 3-concept car series on the internet, but I can’t find any sources that talk about the company. The only one I could find was the one source on the Internet Archive. ThomasDuhTankEngine2843 ( talk) 20:54, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
ThomasDuhTankEngine2843, The Italian firm currently has only a series of concept cars [...] By "currently has", do you perhaps mean "years ago had"? (I infer from the draft's external links that the company's website is dead.) Production was planned to 50 units and each unit was priced around $500,000. They were never mass-produced. No surprise there, if only fifty were planned. Were any sold? The impression I get from the draft is that this (like rather a lot of companies advertising expensive cars) is merely a defunct advertiser of vaporware. If it has been taken seriously by writers who are worth taking seriously, it could be notable; but until persuaded otherwise, I'd start with the assumption that it isn't notable. -- Hoary ( talk) 02:22, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

Was wondering why some very credible people are listed as "Conspiracy Theorist"? This was a term invented at the time of the Kennedy to demonize any with alternative theory to what now seem impossible. Every cop. military planner, investigator conspire to theorize. They truely are conspiracy theorist. But would it damage them to have that above they're name and picture on this site. I believe it would. When I see Experts in a field listed as conspiracy theorist on this site it seems this site is not interested in either the facts or engaged in demonization against the person. A demonization title to discredit? I don't understand why that would be a title over someones picture unless thats all they do or have done. If one feels the need such a bogus title that litterally means a theory of two or more planning were would it end? Why not let people decide. Who decides who is a conspiracy theorist? Also that would make anyone on this site working with a co-worker to cowrite, edit etc.. a conspirator and me a conspiracy theorist for mentioning it. I have a theory this site conspires in subjectivity therefor im a conspiracy theorist by definition. So it's basically just name calling, demonization, arbitraty and capricious. Is this of fact? It's very subjective simply because we all are conspirators, all have conspiracy theory so is it just that certain people are to be demonized? Does that now mean that title goes above the ablum I've written, produced etc... the work in the oil industry, the electrical fabrication, plans, installs etc.. No I believe. It's just a part of me not a title. I'm sorry it just comes across as demonization in arbitrary capricious manner. Is they're work examined for validity or fact? Who decides lifetimes of expert factual work get stuck under a heading of conspiracy theorist? I believe this is more product of cancel culture. I also believe that some may warrant mention but not title. Not of relevence is the sense due to conspiracy theory has been misued and breaks further our langauge. Would it not be more prudent to simply list the claims as unproven or open/unfounded theory and allow people to conclude? Just the facts or is it just more propaganda? 69.169.10.167 ( talk) 22:14, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi,
I have to admit to finding the Q&A environment confusing. When I post something it seems to get archived very quickly so when I see a reply it goes to a ‘content has been moved or deleted pop-up 9x out of ten.
My questions are: 1) how often is this archiving? 2) is it automatic or manual (ie can I rely on it being after a precise amount of time so I know I should check back within x days)? 3) if someone does reply and I can’t find their reply because it’s archived somewhere is that considered fine or is it poor etiquette? 4) when I can find a record of the edit that was there answer I can see an option ‘thank’. my reflex is to use that but then I wondered does it just jam up another editor’s inbox and so better saved for when someone has done some serious work in a collaborative context or as advocacy in a dispute over editing?

Hi,
I was wondering whether or not using different reference templates in the same article is against Wikipedia's guidelines? I created an article awhile back ( this one) and I decided, for stylistic reasons, to use different templates: the shortened footnotes as well as the typical <ref></ref> template. However, I've read that an article must have a consistent citation style and was wondering if this applies to reference templates. I have seen other articles do a similar thing, but I'm unsure if they are properly adhering to Wikipedia's guidelines.

I thoroughly enjoyed the article on Lydia (Rose) Weld, who was aunt to the person who raised me. When "Great Aunt Rose" heard in 1959 that my sister and I were to be sent to Baldwin School, a boarding school in Bryn Mawr, PA, she fired off a letter to my Aunt Dotty, Lydia's niece, in which she described her experience at Miss Baldwin's school, which she (and her twin sister Violet) attended in the late 1800's. It is a wonderful description, in her own words, of the school and of her world at the time. It's no question that she was a remarkable woman. Though only related to her by marriage, I am grateful to have heard the description of her experiences at Baldwin.
My Aunt Dotty died in 1986, and I always assumed that her Aunt Rose's letter was part of papers that she had saved. I spoke of the letter to other family members, and one of them located it, and sent it to me. I am elated to at last have it in my possession!
The question that now occurs to me is, can it be included in her Wikipedia page? If so, how? I have scanned the material, some of which is descriptive and not by her, but nevertheless interesting. The remaining pages were undoubtedly by her. I have a few family stories shared by those who knew her personally, but I don't know if they would add anything meaningful. The existing article, as far as it goes, seems accurate to me. Can the letter she sent to her niece be included in the page? Please let me know. I have scanned the pages, and can send them to you.
Sincerely yours,

I drafted the article about a company that does significant work supporting a specific JDK and JRE: /info/en/?search=Draft:BellSoft. This support is essential for the software developers' community because it allows them to have a choice. Sometimes a new company decides which environment to use in their devices or software bundles to rely on Java (or a language also compiled to Java bytecode). If the company has a choice, it's better for everybody. Thus, it's important to share the knowledge about the choice.
If someone unfamiliar with software development in Java reads my drafted article, it may not look clear enough. It needs improvement.
Therefore, I'd suggest first improving the Java Runtime Environment article, which a reader of my article may first look at, if they are not familiar with the topic enough. To be precise, Java Runtime Environment needs to be created because now it redirects to /info/en/?search=Java_(software_platform)#Java_Runtime_Environment. It is much harder to read and understand than, for example, https://www.redhat.com/en/topics/cloud-native-apps/what-is-a-Java-runtime-environment.

Hello, I'm a relatively new user who has been working on translating a few articles from Japanese Wikipedia to English. I've just hit autoconfirmed status today, which as far as I know allows me to create new articles, including articles that are primarily translations of articles from other Wikis. I've been using the Content Translation tool to work because it's 1000x more convenient to use than plain text editing and it's just sort of where Wikipedia first pushed me when I first started. However, publishing anything directly through this tool seems to be a privilege reserved exclusively by extended confirmed users (which I am a long ways away from); but I am allowed to "save the article as a draft", which results in the article just being published to my user page. My question is, how would I go about changing this draft to a "real" article without losing all the fancy Wikipedia formatting stuff? I'm aware there's also some tagging stuff relating to attribution I have to do as well since it's a translation of another Wiki's article, and I'm not ready to actually publish it just yet, I just want to know how I'll have to go about doing that when the time comes.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have been notified today (18th Decmber 2022) that the Wikipedia page "Federation of International Sports Table Football (FISTF)" with all its content (100% deletion) is therefore no more readable. I was not able to find the page anymore. Why is the page gone? Reason? Who deleted all the content? Justification? We have had in the past a person troubeling the FISTF content with wrong information and 'teasing' to annoy!
Kind request to Wikipedia: "Please be so kind as to restore 'FISTF' content. I thank everyone in advance for the welcoming help and support. It will be appriciated if we can then install a lock to FISTF so that damage can be avoided.

It is also exploring IP licensing for its audio-series with leading production houses and video OTTs.is an attempt to predict the future and what the heck does OTTs mean? I have never heard that jargon acronym before and the Wikilink leads to a disambiguation page, which is really bad practice. You describe the company's revenue as
It has recently surpassed US$25 milliionas if that is an impressive figure. It isn't and you misspelled "million". You describe "funding rounds" as if that makes this company notable although every startup goes through funding rounds, and the dollar figures are not impressive, but you try to inflate the importance by making the unreferenced assertion that the investors are
marquee investors, which is blatant puffery and marketing language. After reading your draft, I am left wondering "why is this company distinctive or interesting?" and ending up not knowing. Cullen328 ( talk) 09:22, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

Hi,
My classmates and I have created a Draft Draft:Dylan O'Donnell for an Educational project. We are now waiting for its submission and trying to improve it thanks to the help of other editors.
At the top of the article, there is a comment written by an editor saying that there is a redirect from the title of this Draft and suggests asking about redirects and hatnotes here.
Any advice or help is accepted. Thanks.

Hi,
I recently uploaded some images on commons while editing this page. One of the images which is a page 2 of a series of images was marked for deletion. It is a screenshot of participants of an event...I facilitated the event, took the images with a software, and uploaded it. I have also uploaded quite a number of screenshot in the past without an issue. I'm wondering if there's a rule about screenshot I'm not aware of, please share link if any.

Hi. I am really struggling on writing an article about a person because there are not much third party sources about him. Please help how I can get that person's biography published still. Madona Jace ( talk) 00:46, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
"misuse of Wikipedia as a web host". keep in mind the purpose of Wikipedia is not to promote people or anything in any way, but to be a factual, neutral encyclopedia with equally factual, neutral articles (which means you cannot promote your subject at all - you have to describe them objectively as if you are a detached researcher, not working for pay, writing about what you have read elsewhere)
I appreciate your advice on how to improve my article on Draft:Yaoi hole, which was declined on the grounds of notability.

This isn't in reference to anything I've done lately. Just wondering if it is appropriate to comment on other people's AFD's votes on an AFD nomination I started, or if that would be too argumentative. Dawkin Verbier ( talk) 11:32, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
Hi,
I have resubmitted these( Draft:ESPNcricinfo Awards and Draft:ESPN World Fame 100) 2 articles. But, I have doubts for its notability. May I know, does these articles contain enough independent sources to establish notability.? if not, then please guide me. What should I do then.. Thank You. Perfectodefecto ( talk) 14:10, 19 December 2022 (UTC)
@ casualdejekyll Thank You so much.
But, still I have one more doubt.. suppose, I have selected those 3 best independent sources which establish notability. then, where should I put these on the article body and how should I mention them so that, these will be highlighted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Perfectodefecto ( talk • contribs)
Slywriter Thank You so much. I got it.. it should be AFC Comment on the top of the article. right? now, I can add those best sources to the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Perfectodefecto ( talk • contribs)
