I think I am a loyal supporter of Wikipedia, but I have recently become worried about you! I am concerned that the"simple english" version means less information, or selected information, or censored information,rather than just making the information easier to understand. For example, if I google Dustin Hoffman filmography wikipedia, I expect to be able to see a list of the films in which Dustin Hoffman starred, not a list of his key films, or most popular films, or excluding controversial films such as Straw Dogs. It's the principle of the thing. So that's why I am worried about you. Robinhowell ( talk) 16:20, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello Teahouse! Still learning about the Wikipedia process. It looks like there is a bit of a learning curve for me! Somehow I lost my edit of a bio I was working on in my sandbox. I never hit any kind of delete button. Last time I saw it, I had put it up in my tabs and then it got X'ed out. Would that delete my work? I am thinking that I should do my rough draft in my word processor. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks for your thoughts......

List of UEFA Champions League hat-tricks is an article I've been working on. The sorting part of the clubs is slightly mistake. it sorts alphabetically on the club's nationality and not the club's name itself.

Hi Teahouse peoples.
This is my first question so please forgive me. An article I worked on recently was up for AfD review and after the first 7 days it was relisted because there was no consensus, with some editors voting keep and some editors voting delete.
I tried to find what the protocol is for this Round Two. Do I revote Keep or do I just comment again why I voted to Keep and hope new editors pop by and contribute to the decision making process?
Question 2 - Is there a protocol for relisting? I thought that if there was not a consensus, the article would stay, and the recommendations for not delete-worthy fixes would be moved to banners. I will admit this page needs work but I hesitate to invest more time in it than I did last week until its in the clear and not subject to removal evaluation.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give. avignonesi ( talk) 10:42, 15 February 2024 (UTC)
Hi there, I would like to know if I could add an image to my user page. The image is of General Grievous from Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, specifically the one where he shows off his lightsaber collection to Anakin and Obiwan.

Hi
I have made a few edits to a couple of Wikipedia pages recently - in good faith, but sadly to no good end.
It is a huge disappointment to see that they have all been taken down, without any good reason as far as I can see.
It is a great shame, as I spent a long time researching and fact checking the information. I can imagine that this will strongly discourage further contributions.
I do not expect a response, but I think that it is rather dispiriting to have contributions dismissed in this fashion.
Best regards

Hi I'm not strictly new but I have a question which I think comes under etiquette but definitely under markup so I'd appreciate the Teahouse's wisdom.
I am a conflict of interest editor who has been making requests on behalf of an individual since late 2022. They are starting to clutter up the Talk page and as the conflict of interest request backlog is recently starting to creep up again (it's still under 100 requests but I remember how high it can get and I'm hoping to help keep it manageable from my side at least), I wondered if it would be cleaner and easier to read for the volunteers who kindly take on these requests if I were able to archive some of the older conversations. Is that something I would have "permission" to do? I was thinking of leaving just the two most recent conversations live (as the newest request has some relation to the one before it).
If this was appropriate, I have never archived a Talk page before so any advice or help would be great. The Talk page for the article I request on is Talk:Bulat Utemuratov. Podsought ( talk) 10:04, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi,
I am a new contributor to Wikipedia and after the usual edits, I contributed a page, Resilient Pakistan and where there is no problem on the notability or lack of sources, the problem lies with the tone. I have made improvements to change the promotional tone and give it a more factual, objective, neutral tone, but, it seems that I cannot get rid of the Promotion content ad box. even after taking care of the words that Wikipedia don't approve of.
Can anyone please head to the Page and advise me please on how to improve my content.
Much appreciated the help I would be receiving. Ayshaipath ( talk) 07:51, 16 February 2024 (UTC)
Your article being moved to draft status was done by an Asministrator to give you unlimited time to remedy shortfalls in the article. The alternative was to nominate it for deletion, which would have limited you to roughly 7-10 days to salvage the article. In addition to this draft, you created Haya Fatima Sehgal - about the author of the book - and that article is at AfD. Last, you have been asked on your Talk page to clear up whether either of these efforts are paid work. If so, that must be stated on your User page. David notMD ( talk) 14:23, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

I'm looking at this page for copyediting. The banner says it has promotional content/is written like an advertisement but I can't put my finger on what the problem is here. I've read through WP:ADMASQ, but the examples there are pretty exaggerated and I don't think they apply to what I'm looking at— I think the worst of it is a detailed description of what the company offers with citations. If anyone could give me a hand or lend some pointers for the future, I'd really appreciate it!

Hi everyone - I am new here with the goal of updating and contributing to the existing English wikipedia site of an artist, whose work I love. I understand that everyone who contributes to wikipedia can be overwritten by any other contributor and that consensus is achieved in this way. Being new, I'd like to avoid typical pitfalls of inexperiences contributors. For example, I heard that more than 4 edits per month from any contributor to the same page would raise a flag - is this true? Any help is much appreciated!

Can this be a good introduction or background if my research proposal is an investigation into the causes of accidents in road construction sites?
Extended content

---|
Road is the root that leads people from place to another place. Due to the availability of roots people can move easily by foot, by donkeys or horses’ cart, camels, bullock cart or ox cart, bicycles, motor bikes, personal car, buses, trucks, and trains to deliver their products to the market and enter businesses with the nearby neighbours. Many young entrepreneurs have gained some little wealth through roads quick delivery to the consumers and that is another way of boosting up the economy of the country. With that desire even the small communities or constituencies within Uganda would wish to prioritized on having good roads and that has successfully been echoed by both the local and the central government to construct the rural, district, trunk and regional roads to ease the enter trading and movability among the communities. As there are demands for road constructions in the country, it has also created another competition from the bidders in which some with a negligent of road construction site safety that can safeguard the workers at site. An accident is typically defined as an unforeseen event that results in harm, injury, damage, or loss. In the context of road construction sites, accidents can involve workers, equipment, vehicles, and bystanders. Understanding the causes of accidents in road construction sites is crucial for improving safety measures and preventing future incidents (Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) - Construction Safety and Health), World Health Organization (WHO) report on road traffic injuries in Uganda, Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) accident reports and safety guidelines, Journal articles on road construction safety and accident prevention, Government reports on road infrastructure development and safety measures in Uganda. Safety regulations in road construction sites refer to the guidelines and rules set by government agencies or industry organizations to ensure the safety of workers, equipment, and the public during construction activities. These regulations often cover areas such as traffic control, personal protective equipment, equipment operation, and hazard communication. Workers at site are exposed to severe incidents such as struck by moving vehicles or equipment, falls from heights, electrocution, burns from hot materials or equipment, struck by falling objects, and caught in between objects or equipment. This study will later address all aspects of preventive measures that will mitigate the road construction site accidents that leads to fatalities and permanent disability. Disabilities can be physical, cognitive, sensory, or mental health related, and can have a significant impact on a person's daily life and functioning. Some major issues and sub-problems that will be looked at by the studies are like lack of proper training and safety protocols for construction workers, inadequate supervision and monitoring of work activities, poor communication and coordination among workers and contractors, unsafe working conditions and equipment, insufficient traffic control measures, and failure to comply with regulations and standards. In this exploration of investigating the causes of accidents in road construction sites in Uganda, the key independent variables that are expecting will be factors like weather conditions, traffic volume, worker experience, and safety protocols. Whereas the dependent variable will be the events of accidents at the road construction site. The event this study will like to look at will be mostly the relationship between these independent variables and the frequency and acuteness of accidents at road construction sites. This study of investigating the causes of accidents in road construction sites in Uganda will later explore the hypothesis such as the poor communication among workers that leads to an escalation risk of accidents in road construction sites, inadequate safety training for workers contributes to a higher rate of accidents in road construction sites and insufficient supervision and oversight on construction sites results in more accidents occurring as it is mentioned above. The studies will later on visit the boundaries of specific aspects of accidents in road construction sites such as the types of accidents, the locations where they occur, the time periods being studied, the specific causes being investigated, and any other relevant parameters that will help narrow down the scope of the research. The key concepts of this study are as follows: Accidents, road construction site, safety regulations, risk factors, and other key concepts that will be relevant to research. Mahafis |

the other sumarised content from the main lead. There was no such content. The "Recognition" content being moved from the body to the lead does not cause anything to be summarized, obviously, and the current lead summarizes only some sections, but the summary needs to be much more complete.

I tried to publish an article about a company, almost identical to 1000s of other articles, and I feel as if my "review" was a little ... strange. First thing was I got three messages about conflict of interest. I replied twice, and the person was very rude and acted strange and terse. Then I realized the article had been reviewed six hours earlier, before I made about nine more edits. What´s really strange is that it didn´t say so on the page until I clicked the link in the notification list. There, it said "This is just advertising!", by a third user.
So.. I published an article a teeny weeny bit early, just cosmetic changes. One user is telling me I´m a "black hat", a user called pigsofwing says a review has been done, and a user who has made 40 pages about pots is telling me an article practically identical to 1000s of others is "just advertising exclamation mark".
I don´t know who to talk to, and i don´t know how, frankly, because I don´t think talking to these three people will make a lick of difference one way or the other, and we haven´t even said hello.

Could I trouble someone who's familiar with template terminology to take a look at Template:For-multi/doc § TemplateData?
Broadly, odd-numbered parameters are the "use" texts and even-numbered ones the "page" texts in the "For [use], see [page]. For [another use], see [another page]. [...]" output. Both types may be blank, with "other uses" and "[current page] (disambiguation)" as defaults. For both types, there's an additional complication in that a blank parameter is affected by and/or affects other parameters.
I just now added the second sentences to the "use"-type descriptions - "if unused or blank, defaults to [...] and ignores parameters [...]" - to try and cover that, based on experimentation. I also think the parameter numbers in the "page"-type descriptions are each off by one - parameter 4 refers to "parameter 4", itself, instead of "parameter 3", the corresponding "use"-type parameter, which I suspect was the intention.
As I don't have a full understanding of terms like "unused", "blank", "exists" in this context, the latter edit should be made by someone else, and the former edit may need rephrasing.
Cheers! :)

I recently made my first contribution to Wikipedia by publishing an article. As this is my initial foray into editing and contributing, I'm eager to understand the process that follows the publication of a new article. I've noticed that my article is live, but I'm unsure about how to interpret its current status and what steps I should expect next. Could someone kindly explain: How can I check if my article has been reviewed or needs further improvements? Are there specific signs or notifications I should look for that indicate its acceptance or if any issues have been identified? As a new contributor, are there common post-publication steps I should be aware of to ensure my article meets Wikipedia's standards? I'm committed to contributing positively to the Wikipedia community and would greatly appreciate any guidance or advice you can offer to a newcomer. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Hello! The Australian_Market_and_Social_Research_Society_Limited rebranded to "The Research Society" in 2020.
The (then) CEO wrote, "We will remain the Australian Market & Social Research Society in our constitution but our new trading name will be The Research Society." Does this mean the name of the page should be changed? Or should it be treated like X (which is still found at Twitter)?
The current article also has a "This article contains content that is written like an advertisement" flag.
I am a member of The Research Society (with membership fees paid for by my workplace). Does this disqualify me from making changes?

I have a draft that I need to edit before submitting it for review. The instructions to do this were as follows:
"You will need to edit the draft article..., and then you will need to save those edits into the draft (by hitting the blue Publish changes button. But that merely publishes those edits to the online Draft. It is not yet a published article...
Once you have completed all your edits, and saved them (i.e. publish changes), then you will still see the blue "Submit the draft for review" button again. Only when you click that will your submission be made."
When I edit the draft and hit on Publish changes, the submission button does not appear in the editing tab. If I go back to the reading tab after publishing the changes, I can see the submission button, but the draft only shows the old version and not the one I have edited. What am I not getting here?

I recently came across two Wikipedia articles which shows up as an unassessed article. When I went to the talk page I found that the assessment banner was not at the top of the page.

Hi, I made a new Wikipedia page on a Filipino film recently called " Pamilya Ordinaryo", since there hasn't been any page on that for nearly 8 years since it's release. I got my sources from websites and thought of making one since it appeared on Netflix, and it caught my interests. I was sad when I found out that there was no independent page on this movie, so I decided to create one today. I created the page through Wikipedia:How to create a page and I think it immediately got published, however I am not sure whether it needs to be reviewed and if it's published already. I'm still not sure whether the page is suitable enough as I think it needs to be reviewed first. If there is anything that may be concerning, please could I have some advice on it?

Dear Wikipedia community,
I trust this message finds you well. As a relatively new contributor to Wikipedia, I am reaching out to seek guidance on two key aspects of active participation within the community: article maintenance and profile development.
I am particularly interested in hearing from seasoned contributors like BOZ, a former administrator, about their experiences and any valuable tips they might have on these topics. Your guidance and advice will be immensely appreciated as I continue to navigate and contribute to the Wikipedia platform.
also, I just submitted a new article to the mainspace of an article that has been deleted several times for lack of reliability on sources, The article has been carefully revised, expanded, and verified with reliable sources to ensure accuracy and reliability. It provides a comprehensive overview of Doha Moustaquim's background, career, and contributions to the filmmaking industry, meeting Wikipedia's standards for notability and verifiability, please give me your opinion is matter to me.

Noone02, Maproom is giving you good advice on content. If you haven't seen Wikipedia:Notability (people), you should probably look at that. Regarding your second question about "profile development", I find the question a bit odd. In your use of the word profile, I understand you to mean not your user page (which some new users erroneously call their "profile page", or just "profile"), but the esteem or regard that others have for you here; is that correct? If so, it's important to note that we are an online encyclopedia, and while asking, say, how to help develop articles is in line with that goal, asking how to develop your own reputation here isn't really. That will come organically as a result of your contributions over time. If you are asking more about how to meet and collaborate with other editors, then looking into our WP:WikiProjects would be a good start. Hope this helps, Mathglot ( talk) 01:42, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello!
Quick recap --
ISSUE 1: Art Brut is a historically significant art term coined in the 1940s that is fundamentally centered on naive, primitive, child-like art. It currently re-directs to a page called Outsider Art (an English term coined in the 1970s) -- which is an umbrella term for any art created by untrained artists. The majority of the information in the Outsider Art page is based on Art Brut.
Question-- Can i split this page into two (keeping like information with like information) and keep the majority of the content without having to rewrite and recite everything?
ISSUE 2: The current page for Art Brut goes to a rock band.
Question-- Is there a way to fix the title so that is says Art Brut Band leaving the term Art Brut free to use for a page dedicated to the topic for which the term was originally coined?
Needless to say -- this feels like a complex endeavor so if you fee like jumping in and helping -- I would be much obliged.

Are "§"-formatted section links okay in dab page entries? MOS:DABPIPE and MOS:DABSECTION only clearly deal with "raw", "#"-formatted links.
More specifically, I'm trying to decide between redirects like Finally Famous: The Mixtape and their targets like Big Sean discography § Mixtapes. Personally, as a reader, I'd definitely prefer the latter in a case like that, because they give a way better idea of the amount and type of information I can expect to find there.
I suppose a piped link in the vein of (again from the MOS page)
splits the difference in a way, but I'm not really seeing the upside. Obviously, they're more prose-y, but "§"-links are fine in articles, as long as they're used judiciously, and purely stylistic considerations ought to apply less, not more, to dab pages than to articles proper, no?

I am commenting page /info/en/?search=Parity_of_zero
If zero would be even, then we would say the following.
1. snakes have zero legs, if zero would be even,
we would say: snakes have an even number of legs.
2. pigs have zero wings, if zero would be even,
we would say: pigs have an even number of wings.
Zero 0 objects divided in groups of b > 0 objects,
will count 0 complete groups of b objects and 0 objects leftover,
that means 0/b = (q, r) = (0, 0) for any b > 0.
Even numbers are named even, because divided in groups of 2,
will count at least one group of 2, but not less, having no leftover.
Considering "0 is even",
suggesting that 0 will count at least one group of 2,
that is false.
Generalization:
For a >= 0 and b >= 0, where a/b = (q, r) => b * q + r = a
a is incomplete aggregation, if q >= 0 and r > 0
a is complete aggregation, if q > 0 and r = 0
a = 0 is neutral aggregation, if q = 0 and r = 0

In many album discographies, contributors also often note the vinyl album was available in other formats such as cassette tapes, 8 track tapes, and CDs. I recently noticed someone awhile back deleted all my additions on one singer's album discography for pre-1980 cassettes and reel tapes and said in their comments that "reel tapes are a no no" or something like that. Is this true? I find it hard to believe a popular format in the 1960's (and to a lesser degree, early 1970's) should not be listed among the formats in which an album was released. Have no clue why they deleted 1968-1979 cassettes as they were certainly available in that era. Proof of the release of the recording in either format can often be found in photographs on Discogs and in Ebay auctions and likely as well in Scwhann catalogs of the era.

"A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" ( Wikipedia:Notability#General_notability_guideline). Evidently, independence requires a "third-party source...that is entirely independent of the subject being covered." If that is meant literally, there seem to be tons of published articles that fail this test, particularly those in specialized, technical topics.
I'm thinking in particular of articles in mathematics. I may feel that Solution_in_radicals is notable (I do), but I see nothing in that article that satisfies the requirement above. Its three references are not at all independent of the subject. Am I missing something?
I understand that there are some subject-specific guidelines, but there doesn't seem to be a set of guidelines for mathematics (at least Wikipedia:WikiProject_Mathematics doesn't have any). Where might I get more information about this? Johsebb ( talk) 18:48, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi there - am new on wikipedia and interested in intersections of US and German history/literature. There is an author with an existing page on German wikipedia, and none on English wikipedia. I read starting a new page from scratch can be daunting/take a long time, especially when a new contributor to wikipedia.

if someone were to create "The most innovative shooter I've played in years

Hi I am very much struggling to create a Wikipedia article. I tried submitting one then got helped from the Wikipedia chat and rewrote the article and found more sources. I haven't put that one fully together yet, because I realized this might be better for another person to write, so I was going to put in a request for someone else to create the article, but then I couldn't figure out how to submit a request. So how do I submit a request for someone else? When I originally was trying to submit it (I don't think I was doing it right), but it said that one of the links I was using was blacklisted for spam? I don't know if that's just because I was using the website link multiple times today because I was very lost or something else. AnnaRae803 ( talk) 21:32, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Everything I have discovered on Hart SA has explained in writing that it is located in the far high NORTH...and others tell me that it is located in the mid-high north of SA...However, clearly, when you see it on any map, not matter who puts it out there, it is just above Adelaide in the far SOUTH. Any further south and it would be in the ocean. I am a volunteer for FamilySearch.org and one of my jobs is to research and locate the exact location of places and find their latitude and longitude. My supervisors have said, "We come across things like that all the time but we can't change it". I said, "Well, that isn't good enough, I want to discover how we can get the correct information. We use Wikipedia most of the time because it is usually the most accurate and gives the best information, but not here. I was actually working in NT and came across Hart, so I went into our FamilySearch spreadsheet to look for Hart NT to find out if we had it listed and ended up in SA by accident. I really enjoy working on finding places and their correct information. When people are looking for their ancestors, it is good if the place is where we say it is. I am sure you get complaints when things are in the wrong place, but this is not a complaint, I am trying to help. Many people trust Wikipedia and rely on it for accuracy when travelling or planning a trip. It would be good if you could give me feed back on what changes you are going to make to your article as to the location of Hart, SA. It says I can do it myself, but I wouldn't do that unless you knew what my intentions are. I prefer to let you know about the situation first.

The article starts with "Hart is a locality in the Mid North region of South Australia." And as noted above, Mid North is south of Far North, also a region of South Australia. Your query mentioned that you were researching the state Northern Territory and came across a mention of Hart. It ain't there. David notMD ( talk) 11:58, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
@ 2001:8003:1471:DE00:A155:E74:EDB2:34E3: Hi Evelyn. As others have said, Hart is in the Mid North region of South Australia, which on a map, you are right there's a lot more space north and west of it. I'd say the Mid North article could do with some care and expansion at some stage. The Mid North is dominated by farming on arable land. the Far North is dryer and generally only suitable for large runs of pastoral grazing. Environmentally, they would be divided by Goyder's Line which was surveyed in the 1860s and remains surprisingly accurate, based on the change in native flora corresponding to the reduced rainfall available. South Australia is strongly Adelaide-centric. The Mid North is accessible in a day from Adelaide, the Far North is not. There is also a Hart, Northern Territory, ultimately deriving its name from the same person. If I've said anything here that isn't in the articles, please let me know. I'm happy to find references and add it. If you want a one-on-one conversation, I'm happy to do that too, or user:Donama I think grew up in the Mid North but I only visit it. I spend more of my time lately on WikiTree than Wikipedia, so you and I have similar interests in spatial accuracy of historic placenames. -- Scott Davis Talk 10:48, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello! I am working on my first article. It is a BLP and so has a high standard for citations, which I am working hard to meet. As a writer and researcher in other areas (mainly history), I'm used to adding footnotes that refer to a specific page or pages of a reference, often multiple different places in the same source, with different page numbers for each citation. Unless I'm missing something, I can't see the best way to do that for Wikipedia references. I can add a page number to a reference -- but if I want to reuse the reference, I'm reusing the page numbers as well. What I want is to do what I do in other writing and have multiple citations to the same source with different page numbers: Swecker2010 p. 44, Swecker2010 pages 78-80. Best way to do this?

Hello! As a new editor, what are some tips/guidelines to follow as I start editing? Pezfishy ( talk) 02:36, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
I am not sure if this is acceptable but I think there has to be a rule against it but just don't know what rule it breaks. But maybe I am wrong. One editor firstly removed a lot of people's edits on a chapter in Amnesty International. [12] Then they unilaterally removed the specific subtitle chapter of (2021 alteration of Alexei Navalny's status) and changed it into just (Russia). [13] Despite the topic isn't meant to be that broad but more focused on specifically Amnesty changing the status of the individual Navalyn. I see such an editorialising only serves to make an easier environment that would allow to shift attention away on what Navalyn did, and the issues pertaining to what Amnesty have said about Navalyn. And in doing so, justifies in deleting a lot of key details on Amnesty's statements towards their decision on Navalyn, after framing it as not centred on (Navalyn status change) but broadly on (Russia) instead.

I am trying something new and working on only suggested edits from the newcomer homepage. These are all tagged and need help. One page that came up in my feed was Space art. This page had numerous suggested edits, or maybe these were just AI generated examples of SIMILAR sounding edits? I am not sure, but it showed examples in the "Suggested edits" window on the middle right hand side of my screen that included very space-like and important grammatical or copy edit type edits to correct for. When I entered on my keyboard, control F the various specific "suggested edits", or even portions of them, they were nowhere to be found on the page. Were those just fake suggestions of lookalike type things to update? If so, they were all "on theme" space related to this space oriented page, so that was just either an amazing coincidence, or the tool itself is smart enough to make similar sounding suggestions. I was stumped. Iljhgtn ( talk) 20:10, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Apologies for the length of my question.
One of the issues I confront is "who should (and should not) be considered a Ziegfeld girl?" This is surprisingly a complicated subject. The Ziegfeld girl article states that: "Ziegfeld Girls were the actresses, singers, chorus girls, showgirls and other female performers appearing in Florenz Ziegfeld's theatrical Broadway revue spectaculars known as the Ziegfeld Follies (1907–1931, 1934, 1936, 1943, and 1957), produced in New York City. Ziegfeld girls also included female performers who participated in the Ziegfeld Midnight Frolic (1915-1921) and the Ziegfeld 9 O'Clock Revue (1919-1920)." Full disclosure: I contributed to the definition.
Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr. also produced other Broadway musical spectacular such as Rio Rita and Show Boat that relied on a host of female performers, at least some of whom did not participate in the "Ziegfeld"-branded shows. In addition, during the 1920s and 1930s there were many similar musical revues on Broadway for which Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr. had no involvement.
The bottom line is that I have found a number of instances in Wikipedia articles where specific performers are named as "a Ziegfeld girl" when, in fact, they do not meet the definition noted above. I make this judgement after a dig deep into sources such as the Internet Broadway Database and Playbill.com; I also troll through the Internet Archive text corpus, which contains a contemporary sources that have detailed information about show casting, such as "Variety" and "Billboard." Finally, I search for performer names on NewspaperArchives.com to see if they are linked to a "Follies" show.
I suspect that well-meaning editors use "Ziegfeld girl" rather broadly to describe performers who were on Broadway in the 1920s and 1930s. Also, since "Ziegfeld girl" was often considered flattering, especially in later years, the term tends to show up in friendly bios in places like IMDB.com.
Am I splitting hairs or is it valid to prefer a source conformation before naming someone as a Ziegfeld girl in Wikipedia articles? Conversely, if someone can't be confirmed via the method above, should the article be edited to reflect that?
Finally, if my nit-picking is indeed justified, should I publicize the issue? Via a user subpage? Another method?

I think I am a loyal supporter of Wikipedia, but I have recently become worried about you! I am concerned that the"simple english" version means less information, or selected information, or censored information,rather than just making the information easier to understand. For example, if I google Dustin Hoffman filmography wikipedia, I expect to be able to see a list of the films in which Dustin Hoffman starred, not a list of his key films, or most popular films, or excluding controversial films such as Straw Dogs. It's the principle of the thing. So that's why I am worried about you. Robinhowell ( talk) 16:20, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi Teahouse peoples.
This is my first question so please forgive me. An article I worked on recently was up for AfD review and after the first 7 days it was relisted because there was no consensus, with some editors voting keep and some editors voting delete.
I tried to find what the protocol is for this Round Two. Do I revote Keep or do I just comment again why I voted to Keep and hope new editors pop by and contribute to the decision making process?
Question 2 - Is there a protocol for relisting? I thought that if there was not a consensus, the article would stay, and the recommendations for not delete-worthy fixes would be moved to banners. I will admit this page needs work but I hesitate to invest more time in it than I did last week until its in the clear and not subject to removal evaluation.

Hi
I have made a few edits to a couple of Wikipedia pages recently - in good faith, but sadly to no good end.
It is a huge disappointment to see that they have all been taken down, without any good reason as far as I can see.
It is a great shame, as I spent a long time researching and fact checking the information. I can imagine that this will strongly discourage further contributions.
I do not expect a response, but I think that it is rather dispiriting to have contributions dismissed in this fashion.

Hi I'm not strictly new but I have a question which I think comes under etiquette but definitely under markup so I'd appreciate the Teahouse's wisdom.
I am a conflict of interest editor who has been making requests on behalf of an individual since late 2022. They are starting to clutter up the Talk page and as the conflict of interest request backlog is recently starting to creep up again (it's still under 100 requests but I remember how high it can get and I'm hoping to help keep it manageable from my side at least), I wondered if it would be cleaner and easier to read for the volunteers who kindly take on these requests if I were able to archive some of the older conversations. Is that something I would have "permission" to do? I was thinking of leaving just the two most recent conversations live (as the newest request has some relation to the one before it).
If this was appropriate, I have never archived a Talk page before so any advice or help would be great. The Talk page for the article I request on is Talk:Bulat Utemuratov. Podsought ( talk) 10:04, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Your article being moved to draft status was done by an Asministrator to give you unlimited time to remedy shortfalls in the article. The alternative was to nominate it for deletion, which would have limited you to roughly 7-10 days to salvage the article. In addition to this draft, you created Haya Fatima Sehgal - about the author of the book - and that article is at AfD.

However, it currently redirects to a page called "Outside Art" which is a similar movement. If I think Art Brut needs to have it's own page where do I bring this up?

I'm looking at this page for copyediting. The banner says it has promotional content/is written like an advertisement but I can't put my finger on what the problem is here. I've read through WP:ADMASQ, but the examples there are pretty exaggerated and I don't think they apply to what I'm looking at— I think the worst of it is a detailed description of what the company offers with citations. If anyone could give me a hand or lend some pointers for the future, I'd really appreciate it!

Hi everyone - I am new here with the goal of updating and contributing to the existing English wikipedia site of an artist, whose work I love. I understand that everyone who contributes to wikipedia can be overwritten by any other contributor and that consensus is achieved in this way. Being new, I'd like to avoid typical pitfalls of inexperiences contributors. For example, I heard that more than 4 edits per month from any contributor to the same page would raise a flag - is this true? Any help is much appreciated!

Can this be a good introduction or background if my research proposal is an investigation into the causes of accidents in road construction sites?
Extended content

---|
Road is the root that leads people from place to another place. Due to the availability of roots people can move easily by foot, by donkeys or horses’ cart, camels, bullock cart or ox cart, bicycles, motor bikes, personal car, buses, trucks, and trains to deliver their products to the market and enter businesses with the nearby neighbours. Many young entrepreneurs have gained some little wealth through roads quick delivery to the consumers and that is another way of boosting up the economy of the country. With that desire even the small communities or constituencies within Uganda would wish to prioritized on having good roads and that has successfully been echoed by both the local and the central government to construct the rural, district, trunk and regional roads to ease the enter trading and movability among the communities. As there are demands for road constructions in the country, it has also created another competition from the bidders in which some with a negligent of road construction site safety that can safeguard the workers at site. An accident is typically defined as an unforeseen event that results in harm, injury, damage, or loss. In the context of road construction sites, accidents can involve workers, equipment, vehicles, and bystanders. Understanding the causes of accidents in road construction sites is crucial for improving safety measures and preventing future incidents (Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) - Construction Safety and Health), World Health Organization (WHO) report on road traffic injuries in Uganda, Uganda National Roads Authority (UNRA) accident reports and safety guidelines, Journal articles on road construction safety and accident prevention, Government reports on road infrastructure development and safety measures in Uganda. Safety regulations in road construction sites refer to the guidelines and rules set by government agencies or industry organizations to ensure the safety of workers, equipment, and the public during construction activities. These regulations often cover areas such as traffic control, personal protective equipment, equipment operation, and hazard communication. Workers at site are exposed to severe incidents such as struck by moving vehicles or equipment, falls from heights, electrocution, burns from hot materials or equipment, struck by falling objects, and caught in between objects or equipment. This study will later address all aspects of preventive measures that will mitigate the road construction site accidents that leads to fatalities and permanent disability. Disabilities can be physical, cognitive, sensory, or mental health related, and can have a significant impact on a person's daily life and functioning. Some major issues and sub-problems that will be looked at by the studies are like lack of proper training and safety protocols for construction workers, inadequate supervision and monitoring of work activities, poor communication and coordination among workers and contractors, unsafe working conditions and equipment, insufficient traffic control measures, and failure to comply with regulations and standards. In this exploration of investigating the causes of accidents in road construction sites in Uganda, the key independent variables that are expecting will be factors like weather conditions, traffic volume, worker experience, and safety protocols. Whereas the dependent variable will be the events of accidents at the road construction site. The event this study will like to look at will be mostly the relationship between these independent variables and the frequency and acuteness of accidents at road construction sites. This study of investigating the causes of accidents in road construction sites in Uganda will later explore the hypothesis such as the poor communication among workers that leads to an escalation risk of accidents in road construction sites, inadequate safety training for workers contributes to a higher rate of accidents in road construction sites and insufficient supervision and oversight on construction sites results in more accidents occurring as it is mentioned above. The studies will later on visit the boundaries of specific aspects of accidents in road construction sites such as the types of accidents, the locations where they occur, the time periods being studied, the specific causes being investigated, and any other relevant parameters that will help narrow down the scope of the research. The key concepts of this study are as follows: Accidents, road construction site, safety regulations, risk factors, and other key concepts that will be relevant to research. Mahafis |

I tried to publish an article about a company, almost identical to 1000s of other articles, and I feel as if my "review" was a little ... strange. First thing was I got three messages about conflict of interest. I replied twice, and the person was very rude and acted strange and terse. Then I realized the article had been reviewed six hours earlier, before I made about nine more edits. What´s really strange is that it didn´t say so on the page until I clicked the link in the notification list. There, it said "This is just advertising!", by a third user.
So.. I published an article a teeny weeny bit early, just cosmetic changes. One user is telling me I´m a "black hat", a user called pigsofwing says a review has been done, and a user who has made 40 pages about pots is telling me an article practically identical to 1000s of others is "just advertising exclamation mark".
I don´t know who to talk to, and i don´t know how, frankly, because I don´t think talking to these three people will make a lick of difference one way or the other, and we haven´t even said hello.

Could I trouble someone who's familiar with template terminology to take a look at Template:For-multi/doc § TemplateData?
Broadly, odd-numbered parameters are the "use" texts and even-numbered ones the "page" texts in the "For [use], see [page]. For [another use], see [another page]. [...]" output. Both types may be blank, with "other uses" and "[current page] (disambiguation)" as defaults. For both types, there's an additional complication in that a blank parameter is affected by and/or affects other parameters.
I just now added the second sentences to the "use"-type descriptions - "if unused or blank, defaults to [...] and ignores parameters [...]" - to try and cover that, based on experimentation. I also think the parameter numbers in the "page"-type descriptions are each off by one - parameter 4 refers to "parameter 4", itself, instead of "parameter 3", the corresponding "use"-type parameter, which I suspect was the intention.
As I don't have a full understanding of terms like "unused", "blank", "exists" in this context, the latter edit should be made by someone else, and the former edit may need rephrasing.
Cheers! :)

I recently encountered a situation where one of the articles I created was moved from the mainspace to the draft, despite my efforts to recreate it. Although the article has faced deletion challenges in the past, I have successfully refreshed and reinstated it. However, it now resides in the draft section. I am seeking advice on how best to improve the article and potentially move it back to the mainspace. What steps can I take to enhance its quality and increase the likelihood of it being accepted in the mainspace? Noone02 ( talk) 19:22, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
(sorry if this is worded odd, as i dont really know how to put it.) If a film has a different name, but a similar name, would it still be normal to add dates to the end? I was looking a the Netflix Texas Chainsaw movie, and it has a unique name (lacking the in it's name), but still has the (2022) in it's name, as if there was a different movie also called "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", but checking wikipedia (here) shows nothing. so why is the (2022) on the title? If a movie has a different-but-similar name would we still put the date on the end? (sorry again for grammar and/or bizarre structure) Babysharkboss2!! Killer Queen 19:35, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedia community,
I trust this message finds you well. As a relatively new contributor to Wikipedia, I am reaching out to seek guidance on two key aspects of active participation within the community: article maintenance and profile development.
I am particularly interested in hearing from seasoned contributors like BOZ, a former administrator, about their experiences and any valuable tips they might have on these topics. Your guidance and advice will be immensely appreciated as I continue to navigate and contribute to the Wikipedia platform.
also, I just submitted a new article to the mainspace of an article that has been deleted several times for lack of reliability on sources, The article has been carefully revised, expanded, and verified with reliable sources to ensure accuracy and reliability. It provides a comprehensive overview of Doha Moustaquim's background, career, and contributions to the filmmaking industry, meeting Wikipedia's standards for notability and verifiability, please give me your opinion is matter to me.
Warm regards, Noone02 ( talk) 17:54, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
Noone02, Maproom is giving you good advice on content. If you haven't seen Wikipedia:Notability (people), you should probably look at that. Regarding your second question about "profile development", I find the question a bit odd. In your use of the word profile, I understand you to mean not your user page (which some new users erroneously call their "profile page", or just "profile"), but the esteem or regard that others have for you here; is that correct? If so, it's important to note that we are an online encyclopedia, and while asking, say, how to help develop articles is in line with that goal, asking how to develop your own reputation here isn't really. That will come organically as a result of your contributions over time. If you are asking more about how to meet and collaborate with other editors, then looking into our WP:WikiProjects would be a good start. Hope this helps, Mathglot ( talk) 01:42, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello. As time advances, sources get older and older. I've been skeptical about using sources from the 40s lately, tho you can often spot one. Are there any guidelines on this? Are pre-ww2 sources still usable? On some articles you might even see sources from the 1830s, 1820s, 1750s... Are these still considered reliable sources? On the other hand if you can't use that source from 1911, can you use Tacitus? Encyclopédisme ( talk) 13:20, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello!
Quick recap --
ISSUE 1: Art Brut is a historically significant art term coined in the 1940s that is fundamentally centered on naive, primitive, child-like art. It currently re-directs to a page called Outsider Art (an English term coined in the 1970s) -- which is an umbrella term for any art created by untrained artists. The majority of the information in the Outsider Art page is based on Art Brut.
Question-- Can i split this page into two (keeping like information with like information) and keep the majority of the content without having to rewrite and recite everything?
ISSUE 2: The current page for Art Brut goes to a rock band.
Question-- Is there a way to fix the title so that is says Art Brut Band leaving the term Art Brut free to use for a page dedicated to the topic for which the term was originally coined?
Needless to say -- this feels like a complex endeavor so if you fee like jumping in and helping -- I would be much obliged.

Are "§"-formatted section links okay in dab page entries? MOS:DABPIPE and MOS:DABSECTION only clearly deal with "raw", "#"-formatted links.
More specifically, I'm trying to decide between redirects like Finally Famous: The Mixtape and their targets like Big Sean discography § Mixtapes. Personally, as a reader, I'd definitely prefer the latter in a case like that, because they give a way better idea of the amount and type of information I can expect to find there.
I suppose a piped link in the vein of (again from the MOS page)
splits the difference in a way, but I'm not really seeing the upside. Obviously, they're more prose-y, but "§"-links are fine in articles, as long as they're used judiciously, and purely stylistic considerations ought to apply less, not more, to dab pages than to articles proper, no?

I am commenting page /info/en/?search=Parity_of_zero
If zero would be even, then we would say the following.
1. snakes have zero legs, if zero would be even,
we would say: snakes have an even number of legs.
2. pigs have zero wings, if zero would be even,
we would say: pigs have an even number of wings.
Zero 0 objects divided in groups of b > 0 objects,
will count 0 complete groups of b objects and 0 objects leftover,
that means 0/b = (q, r) = (0, 0) for any b > 0.
Even numbers are named even, because divided in groups of 2,
will count at least one group of 2, but not less, having no leftover.
Considering "0 is even",
suggesting that 0 will count at least one group of 2,
that is false.
Generalization:
For a >= 0 and b >= 0, where a/b = (q, r) => b * q + r = a
a is incomplete aggregation, if q >= 0 and r > 0
a is complete aggregation, if q > 0 and r = 0
a = 0 is neutral aggregation, if q = 0 and r = 0

In many album discographies, contributors also often note the vinyl album was available in other formats such as cassette tapes, 8 track tapes, and CDs. I recently noticed someone awhile back deleted all my additions on one singer's album discography for pre-1980 cassettes and reel tapes and said in their comments that "reel tapes are a no no" or something like that. Is this true? I find it hard to believe a popular format in the 1960's (and to a lesser degree, early 1970's) should not be listed among the formats in which an album was released. Have no clue why they deleted 1968-1979 cassettes as they were certainly available in that era. Proof of the release of the recording in either format can often be found in photographs on Discogs and in Ebay auctions and likely as well in Scwhann catalogs of the era.

"A topic is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list when it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" ( Wikipedia:Notability#General_notability_guideline). Evidently, independence requires a "third-party source...that is entirely independent of the subject being covered." If that is meant literally, there seem to be tons of published articles that fail this test, particularly those in specialized, technical topics.
I'm thinking in particular of articles in mathematics. I may feel that Solution_in_radicals is notable (I do), but I see nothing in that article that satisfies the requirement above. Its three references are not at all independent of the subject. Am I missing something?
I understand that there are some subject-specific guidelines, but there doesn't seem to be a set of guidelines for mathematics (at least Wikipedia:WikiProject_Mathematics doesn't have any). Where might I get more information about this? Johsebb ( talk) 18:48, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Everything I have discovered on Hart SA has explained in writing that it is located in the far high NORTH...and others tell me that it is located in the mid-high north of SA...However, clearly, when you see it on any map, not matter who puts it out there, it is just above Adelaide in the far SOUTH. Any further south and it would be in the ocean. I am a volunteer for FamilySearch.org and one of my jobs is to research and locate the exact location of places and find their latitude and longitude. My supervisors have said, "We come across things like that all the time but we can't change it". I said, "Well, that isn't good enough, I want to discover how we can get the correct information. We use Wikipedia most of the time because it is usually the most accurate and gives the best information, but not here. I was actually working in NT and came across Hart, so I went into our FamilySearch spreadsheet to look for Hart NT to find out if we had it listed and ended up in SA by accident. I really enjoy working on finding places and their correct information. When people are looking for their ancestors, it is good if the place is where we say it is. I am sure you get complaints when things are in the wrong place, but this is not a complaint, I am trying to help. Many people trust Wikipedia and rely on it for accuracy when travelling or planning a trip. It would be good if you could give me feed back on what changes you are going to make to your article as to the location of Hart, SA. It says I can do it myself, but I wouldn't do that unless you knew what my intentions are. I prefer to let you know about the situation first.

The article starts with "Hart is a locality in the Mid North region of South Australia." And as noted above, Mid North is south of Far North, also a region of South Australia. Your query mentioned that you were researching the state Northern Territory and came across a mention of Hart. It ain't there. David notMD ( talk) 11:58, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
@ 2001:8003:1471:DE00:A155:E74:EDB2:34E3: Hi Evelyn. As others have said, Hart is in the Mid North region of South Australia, which on a map, you are right there's a lot more space north and west of it. I'd say the Mid North article could do with some care and expansion at some stage. The Mid North is dominated by farming on arable land. the Far North is dryer and generally only suitable for large runs of pastoral grazing. Environmentally, they would be divided by Goyder's Line which was surveyed in the 1860s and remains surprisingly accurate, based on the change in native flora corresponding to the reduced rainfall available. South Australia is strongly Adelaide-centric. The Mid North is accessible in a day from Adelaide, the Far North is not. There is also a Hart, Northern Territory, ultimately deriving its name from the same person. If I've said anything here that isn't in the articles, please let me know. I'm happy to find references and add it. If you want a one-on-one conversation, I'm happy to do that too, or user:Donama I think grew up in the Mid North but I only visit it. I spend more of my time lately on WikiTree than Wikipedia, so you and I have similar interests in spatial accuracy of historic placenames. -- Scott Davis Talk 10:48, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello! I am working on my first article. It is a BLP and so has a high standard for citations, which I am working hard to meet. As a writer and researcher in other areas (mainly history), I'm used to adding footnotes that refer to a specific page or pages of a reference, often multiple different places in the same source, with different page numbers for each citation. Unless I'm missing something, I can't see the best way to do that for Wikipedia references. I can add a page number to a reference -- but if I want to reuse the reference, I'm reusing the page numbers as well. What I want is to do what I do in other writing and have multiple citations to the same source with different page numbers: Swecker2010 p. 44, Swecker2010 pages 78-80. Best way to do this? Any way to do this? Thanks! Slane00 ( talk) 01:23, 24 February 2024 (UTC)

Hello! As a new editor, what are some tips/guidelines to follow as I start editing? Pezfishy ( talk) 02:36, 23 February 2024 (UTC)
I am not sure if this is acceptable but I think there has to be a rule against it but just don't know what rule it breaks. But maybe I am wrong. One editor firstly removed a lot of people's edits on a chapter in Amnesty International. [12] Then they unilaterally removed the specific subtitle chapter of (2021 alteration of Alexei Navalny's status) and changed it into just (Russia). [13] Despite the topic isn't meant to be that broad but more focused on specifically Amnesty changing the status of the individual Navalyn. I see such an editorialising only serves to make an easier environment that would allow to shift attention away on what Navalyn did, and the issues pertaining to what Amnesty have said about Navalyn. And in doing so, justifies in deleting a lot of key details on Amnesty's statements towards their decision on Navalyn, after framing it as not centred on (Navalyn status change) but broadly on (Russia) instead.

I am trying something new and working on only suggested edits from the newcomer homepage. These are all tagged and need help. One page that came up in my feed was Space art. This page had numerous suggested edits, or maybe these were just AI generated examples of SIMILAR sounding edits? I am not sure, but it showed examples in the "Suggested edits" window on the middle right hand side of my screen that included very space-like and important grammatical or copy edit type edits to correct for. When I entered on my keyboard, control F the various specific "suggested edits", or even portions of them, they were nowhere to be found on the page. Were those just fake suggestions of lookalike type things to update? If so, they were all "on theme" space related to this space oriented page, so that was just either an amazing coincidence, or the tool itself is smart enough to make similar sounding suggestions. I was stumped. Iljhgtn ( talk) 20:10, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Apologies for the length of my question.
One of the issues I confront is "who should (and should not) be considered a Ziegfeld girl?" This is surprisingly a complicated subject. The Ziegfeld girl article states that: "Ziegfeld Girls were the actresses, singers, chorus girls, showgirls and other female performers appearing in Florenz Ziegfeld's theatrical Broadway revue spectaculars known as the Ziegfeld Follies (1907–1931, 1934, 1936, 1943, and 1957), produced in New York City. Ziegfeld girls also included female performers who participated in the Ziegfeld Midnight Frolic (1915-1921) and the Ziegfeld 9 O'Clock Revue (1919-1920)." Full disclosure: I contributed to the definition.
Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr. also produced other Broadway musical spectacular such as Rio Rita and Show Boat that relied on a host of female performers, at least some of whom did not participate in the "Ziegfeld"-branded shows. In addition, during the 1920s and 1930s there were many similar musical revues on Broadway for which Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr. had no involvement.
The bottom line is that I have found a number of instances in Wikipedia articles where specific performers are named as "a Ziegfeld girl" when, in fact, they do not meet the definition noted above. I make this judgement after a dig deep into sources such as the Internet Broadway Database and Playbill.com; I also troll through the Internet Archive text corpus, which contains a contemporary sources that have detailed information about show casting, such as "Variety" and "Billboard." Finally, I search for performer names on NewspaperArchives.com to see if they are linked to a "Follies" show.
I suspect that well-meaning editors use "Ziegfeld girl" rather broadly to describe performers who were on Broadway in the 1920s and 1930s. Also, since "Ziegfeld girl" was often considered flattering, especially in later years, the term tends to show up in friendly bios in places like IMDB.com.
Am I splitting hairs or is it valid to prefer a source conformation before naming someone as a Ziegfeld girl in Wikipedia articles? Conversely, if someone can't be confirmed via the method above, should the article be edited to reflect that?
Finally, if my nit-picking is indeed justified, should I publicize the issue? Via a user subpage? Another method?

I frequently see other editors’ comments on articles such as “citation needed” but I don’t know how to do that. If it’s done with a template, then I’d like to know not only how to use one but also how to write a more specific comment that may not have a template.
This has come up for me in the article on
baton twirling where many twirling tricks are listed but not described. I want to point out that descriptions would be very helpful, even if Wikipedia may not require clarification of jargon as such.

I was drafting a new version of my userpage in one of my user sandboxes, and now I want to replace the current userpage ( User:PenguinEncounter2) with it. However, the move button won't let me because the existing user page is still there.
Because I am the sole contributor to both pages, would it be okay to copy-and-paste the content from the sandbox to my userpage, then {{ db-u1}} the sandbox? WP:CUT says this isn't okay for copyright reasons... and I really don't want to have to get a history merge done
Or do I need to request a technical move?
