I am a historian and I took many photos during my tenure as a police officer in the City of Huron, California. I am also a writer and appear in many of Richard Street's books about Huron. My name appears in 'red' as the owner of a number of photographs on the Huron California Wikipedia Page. How can I create a profile for myself as the author within the scope of Wiki policies??? 24.205.122.93 ( talk) 15:11, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
Hello,
I am new to my organization and was curious about a notice on the Museum’s Wikipedia page that says, “A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject. It may require cleanup to comply with Wikipedia’s content policies, particularly neutral point of view. Please discuss further on the talk page.”
From looking at the history of the page, it appears someone with an organization-related name made several updates to the exhibits, special events, and history of the Museum in 2014, which might be the cause of the notice. I don’t have records or account information for that account and I’m not sure if the editor was a former employee or not.
We do have an account, which I changed the name to comply with Wikipedia’s username policy. I will only be using the account to update the accuracy of the page, usually with current information on which exhibits are on display and which are part of our core collection. I’ll, of course, add media articles and links to the Museum’s website as sources for the updates.
My question is how can we get the notice removed from the top of the page and are there steps to avoid having it come back?
Thanks! Sarah at SDMOM ( talk) 15:08, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

Dear All,
I have received a notice from Domdeparis telling me, my article about the author Caroline Gaudriault has not enough secondary sources. /info/en/?search=Caroline_Gaudriault I have red the definition and informations about secondary sources but I do not really understand what he means. Every information in my article has a source and a proof. If I am writing that Caroline wrote an article for Paris-Match and I am attaching this article , I think it shows proof. Can you please tell me why this does not count ?
Thank you very much , I appreciate any help,

I recently posted some education credentials and foreign languages on the Mykel Hawke Wiki. An editor (Rivertorch) removed them, citing verification. What is needed to verify? Mykel Hawke is a commissioned Army officer, and a 4-year degree from an accredited university is required to become an Army Officer. The degrees are a BS in Biology from UNY and an MS in Family Counseling from UCA. He is rated in 7 foreign languages, again through the military and their language schools, which is in his author's biography of his bestselling language book, already linked/referenced on the Wiki page. What is needed to put these credentials back on? KMartin529 ( talk) 18:45, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello, three days ago, user Bilby placed a COI template in one of my articles - Erika Lemay -. When I asked him why, he said that, based on my previous editions, he supposed that I had been paid for that article. I told him that is not true, I explained that anyone can do that article since she is a recognized artist, but he insists - our conversation is in his talk page -. Now, casually - or not so - another editor directly marked as AfD other article, Nancy Ruth (singer) - which is a translation of an article I originally made in Spanish Wikipedia -; this page had just been reviewed 8 days before, without any observation. I can feel that there is a connection between these two events, but I will assume good faith. Can anyone review both articles and tell me if it's okay what those editors have done? I must clarify that many years ago I made some declared paid editions, but my experience was absolutely negative in several respects - not only for the articles themselves, but for the treatment I had from other editors -. I would like to know if I should stop editing or uploading articles, because there will be publishers who will always presume that my editions are paid for.-- Ane wiki ( talk) 18:36, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

|work=
parameter, or its aliases |website=
or |newspaper=
should be used for the actual name of the publication being cited. The |publisher=
parameter can be used also, but leave it out if it is redundant with the work's name. For example, when you specify work=
The New York Times
it adds nothing to also specify publisher=New York Times Company
, even though it is technically accurate. In any case, never use a web domain for work or website, unless a website has no other name. I hope this helps.

Dear Wikipedians,
I would like to resolve an issue between another user and I. A user by the name of @ Joobo: reverted a contribution of mine three times in a row, for no apparent reason. This happened on the Carbonara article. My contribution was adding a photograph that I believe to be helpful ( the second image), as it showcased the main ingredients of the dish, for readers to see in a glance.
The user did not give any reason for removing my photograph, other than linking to WP:NOTCOOKBOOK. And nowhere does WP:NOTCOOKBOOK forbid including supportive images on food-related articles. Furthermore, if he wants to justify his reverts, linking to a WP guide is not a substitute for an actual argument, in my opinion.
The user says that I should "Get consensus for inclusion of the image first". But to me, I think it makes more sense for him to get consensus on excluding the photograph. I believe my contribution is helpful to readers, and complies with the rules. What is the next step here? Who should get consensus, and why? Thank you. Amin (Talk) 16:07, 27 June 2017 (UTC)

It is to seek help. 2-3 editors are harassing me for none, despite making them clear I am unable to understand them. In Francesco Clemente I did what he said but he reverted again. I think they are connected and against me. They are harassing WP:HARASS me at every edit and doing this repeatedly maybe due to mutual connection and taking revenge of my discussion in the Teahouse previously. I have no concerns whether they keep articles or delete. Please see my COI going on. It was a huge mistake that I joined Wikipedia and thought to edit it contribute. they don't want anyone to update Wikipedia and outdated info, they have self-grudges and due to small issues which already exists in millions of articles they like chasing a few people and articles. I am done with it. They are just placing tags wildly and I wish them good luck to ruin Wikipedia at their best. I don't know why they don't respect Good faith terms and all others like policy against harassment, WP:ASPERSIONS. I am really fedup, I have to visit a Dr for the torture they are giving me again and again by accusing the same thing again and again I am exhausted. Please help me out or simply tell me how to close this account or to talk someone sensible. They are also involved in WP:HOUNDING While there are discussions already they are doing the same thing again and again, by reverting changes and loading my page with warnings WP:HUSH. I already said and swear that I'll disclose my COI in the future edits if any I don't know what to do.

I've read that after a new Wikipedia article has been created, it is indexed by Google or other search engines in as quickly as 15 minutes and not taking more than a day. An article I recently created and was accepted, Dave Min, can't be found by using a search engine to search for it. I looked at the page information and it said that it had no Wikidata Item ID while almost every other Wikipedia article seems to have one. Is there anything I can do?

Does Wikipedia pays for contributions
Regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drswaseem ( talk • contribs) 05:51, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
Although I have done edits before, mostly corrections (per my screen name), I have often come across the following problem when reading pages, albeit not to the degree of the one I am now writing about. I'd like advice on how to resolve this.
First, some background: I came across a mention of a man named Franz Stangl, who sounded familiar, but I couldn't place him. So I consulted Wikipedia, as I often do, for the relevant facts. Upon reading the entry, I very clearly got the sense that whoever had either written or recently edited this page was whitewashing this convicted Nazi murder's responsibility for his crimes. There's nothing blatantly unfactual; it's more in the style and choice of phrasing and the quotes chosen to represent his "character".
I know Wikipedia isn't a forum for political or social bias, but there ARE certain issues that do come down to the simplest black and white. Nazi murderers who slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Jews and the disabled during the Holocaust should be chief among them.
While I know I could contact the last editor listed, I don't really think that would be very productive, nor would it address the larger problem. Any ideas?
(I'm not interested in engaging in debates about Holocaust-revisionist fantasies, so please only respond with useful suggestions.)

I'm new on editing Wikipedia and I'm getting flustered. Could you kindly go through the first page I created and kindly let me know what I'm doing wrong. In the mean time I am reading up on the suggestions given.
Thank you.

I've read that after a new Wikipedia article has been created, it is indexed by Google or other search engines in as quickly as 15 minutes and not taking more than a day. An article I recently created and was accepted, Dave Min, can't be found by using a search engine to search for it. I looked at the page information and it said that it had no Wikidata Item ID while almost every other Wikipedia article seems to have one. Is there anything I can do?

Hi! Is there a guideline, policy, etc. that says that discussions should stay in one place (i.e. that responses to a comment should appear under the comment, not elsewhere, like on the commenter's talk page)? I assumed that such a guideline exists, but I cannot find such a guideline. Please let me know if there is one, and, if so, what it is. Thanks! Noah Kastin ( talk) ( 🖋) 17:38, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

How do I post a picture on a wiki page? Having trouble figuring it out. PAButcher2012 ( talk) 22:05, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
[[File:File name.jpg|thumb|Caption text]]
to the area of the article where you want the image to appear – replacing File name.jpg
with the actual file name of the image, and Caption text
with a short description of the image. See our
picture tutorial for more information. I hope this helps.--

Is there some Javascript or Gadget available to do this? -- Hirsutism ( talk) 00:21, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
Found that multiple accounts or IP made the same editors. One of the accounts was confirmed to be socks puppets. And this account has a lot of socks puppets. Can I think that those IP or accounts that are not recognized as socks puppets are socks puppets?

Does Wikipedia pays for contributions

Although I have done edits before, mostly corrections (per my screen name), I have often come across the following problem when reading pages, albeit not to the degree of the one I am now writing about. I'd like advice on how to resolve this.
First, some background: I came across a mention of a man named Franz Stangl, who sounded familiar, but I couldn't place him. So I consulted Wikipedia, as I often do, for the relevant facts. Upon reading the entry, I very clearly got the sense that whoever had either written or recently edited this page was whitewashing this convicted Nazi murder's responsibility for his crimes. There's nothing blatantly unfactual; it's more in the style and choice of phrasing and the quotes chosen to represent his "character".
I know Wikipedia isn't a forum for political or social bias, but there ARE certain issues that do come down to the simplest black and white. Nazi murderers who slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Jews and the disabled during the Holocaust should be chief among them.
While I know I could contact the last editor listed, I don't really think that would be very productive, nor would it address the larger problem. Any ideas?
(I'm not interested in engaging in debates about Holocaust-revisionist fantasies, so please only respond with useful suggestions.)

Hello, I was looking at recent changes I found an IP address 76.189.202.139 which is involved in multiple edits. Most of edits has been done in external section. Does it right to revert his all changes?
Thanks in Advance :-) Harsh Pinjani 12:35, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
While this does not have to do with editing, are there any editors who are the highest level there? (Vanguard Editor/Lord Gom, the Highest Togneme of the Encyclopedia, 132,000 edits at least and 16 years on Wikipedia. I have looked through the archives a little but usually they are no longer contributing or are inactive except for their talk pages, etc. I know there are many editors that have (sometimes far) more than 132,000 edits, but are there any ones who have both criteria? I would like to reward them, even though technically they are self-awarded things. Thank you! SuperTurboChampionshipEdition ( talk) 19:55, 28 June 2017 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for your welcome in the Teahouse. I am wondering why the wikipedia link of Grand Prix of Literary Associations does not still appear in the research platforms; the article was created since april; is there anything wrong. Thanks for getting me informed. -- Morgoko ( talk) 15:25, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
