I have recently replaced earlier versions of these two entries. The new entry on Costello needs some tidying up. The new entry on Milner attracted a warning about a self-publishing house called iUniverse, from which I quoted a book by Peter Hruby (who is not me and whom I do not know). The book contains many references and sources and I am satisfied that it is genuine. That entry too could do with some tidying-up, which is beyond my limited skills. Even getting the new entries on was a minor miracle! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mertonabbbey ( talk • contribs) 16:33, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

This is about a wikipedia page on myself. While the contents are accurate, I think it is necessary to add a current photograph.. Reason is that Google gives photo of another person with the same name when you do a general search and this leads to many other websites also using the incorrect photo.

Hi!

talk) 20:44, 22 April 2019 (UTC)I was editing Chinese Red Army, and I removed irrelevant clutter and redundant information. (It was two tables listing Organization and the Many Armies of CRA. [ | See Here]
The 'copy editing' tag was removed (not by me) after I removed the tables and redid the paragraphs, and I was happy with my work.
Unfortunately, an IP address reverted my changes back to the previous edits with the redundant information. I was agitated by this, and undid his revisions. A few days later, a user " Kdl-sunday" reverted my changes again. I undid his reversions and looked up what I could do. I found the term "Edit Warring," and thought I might've been in the wrong.
However, when looking in the history, it appears that Kdl-Sunday was the one who created the Organization table and Many Armies table. He went back and redid my revisions, which I think means that he started the Edit War. What can I do, and am I in the wrong?

I was looking at the template Template:Infobox ski area when I found that the most recent edit was one that added a link to the corresponding template on the Slovene Wikipedia (and that template also includes a link to the English template). This confused me, as I'd never seen this done before, but checking the Wikidata item for the template, it doesn't list the Slovene version in the list of language versions. When I tried to add this Slovene version to it, it errored and said that the Slovene version is already linked to another, unrelated, Wikidata item. What should be done to fix this?

I have run across, from a link on another article, the article Elise Matthesen. It looks to me that this is a non-notable person, as there is no coverage of her in reliable sources. The references in the article are mostly her own work, plus a mention of her in someone else's obituary, a self-published blog-type source, and a source that doesn't appear to mention her at all. I think that deleting this article is the right thing to do, but I've never gone through a deletion process before (the page on nominating an article is a bit intimidating) and I didn't want to be 100% wrong on my first try. I would appreciate if someone could take a quick look and advise me. I also would not be against someone else deleting it, just so that I can follow the process and see how to do it right. Thank you!

Greetings community
I wanted to inquire about having an article for a profit organization, from the KYC and identity services industry. I have read many of the community guidelines, specially notability and many other crucial ones. Is the right way to draft an article myself or request an article at companies and economics page. In my short research, I found the company to be fairly new but expanded quite rapidly and developed decent services. The organization seems to be recognized for it's AI use and services. Can references, referring to such collaborations and services come under notability and an article be made for the time being, keeping in mind information present in these references? The article which can later be updated, as more referenceable information becomes available about the company.
thank you for considering and feedback much required! ( Grevision ( talk) 07:01, 23 April 2019 (UTC))
Thank you @ Gråbergs Gråa Sång: for the prompt response and valuable feedback. I have gone through the COI guidelines, in my case, it is more of an SME or Subject Matter Expert intention that I seek to implement from. Additional guidance if there is a combo of COI and SME existing would be much appreciated. I bare no inclination towards any one company and seek for the improvement of content concerning this industry and the inclusion of such companies under wikiproject: Companies to the benefit of the Wikipedia community at large voluntarily.
thank you for pointing out the user name, I shall update it accordingly. ( Grevision ( talk) 07:45, 23 April 2019 (UTC))
Hello everyone. I am having an issue understanding the notability in Wikipedia.
I am trying to submit a standalone article of a person who has around 700K followers on Instagram, 200K followers on Youtube, etc ... and is famous in a region for instance.

What I mean is, when entering a piece of media as a new article, should the synopsis actually outline the entire plot? Or should it be a more basic summary? Some movie articles on Wikipedia have the entire plot scene by scene, while others have just the little summary from the back of the dvd kind of thing. Is one better than the other? Should I avoid entering spoilers in an article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apathyash ( talk • contribs) 13:59, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
Good afternoon,
I signed up to Wikipedia today as I often see football players not being credited for certain awards they have achieved and would like to update these when possible. This morning I made an edit to the page of "Billy Sharp" to add his EFL League One Top Goalscorer awards to his page and this was removed. I understand that this may be due to the fact I couldn't figure out how to Hyperlink the specific seasons, player name, etc... Was this the only reason? What should I do to make updates that will not be removed? Was the source not adequate? The comment was removed rather than being fixed and his accolades are not on his page which I find strange. Any feedback, especially from the user who removed the comment, would be appreciated.

Gooday everyone - complete Wikipedia (editing) newbie here. This is a question that I'm sure gets asked rather frequently, so please, be gentle.
I have my own TV series on Amazon Prime, called Travels by Narrowboat. Originally the early seasons aired on YouTube but are now available exclusively on both the Pay Per View platform, Vimeo On Demand (VOD) and now also Amazon Prime (currently season one).
At the moment the series stands at 5 seasons and 34 episodes (on VOD), and it's popularity is expanding daily. The series has also just received it's own verified Google Knowledge Panel (which is a little garbled at the moment).
Simple question then, is this series suitable for inclusion on Wikipedia (like The Grand Tour for example) and if so, am I permitted to write this page myself please, (or how does one go about getting it created)?

Hello and thank you for replying. I'd never heard of Entourage but I have now, thank you. Looks very interesting - sounds rather like the 'journey' I've been on.

I just now noticed that Tim Templeton wrote in his previous reply to my question about "esp.": "If they [Julian Assange and Sarah Harrison, in the infobox of the article on Assange] aren't married, it shouldn't say esp." He may have edited that in after I first saw the reply, but in any case the question then becomes what should appear to indicate the beginning of a non-marriage partnership. Also, does this mean that both "m." and "esp." are used for the beginnings of marriages? I assume in any event that if "esp." is incorrect or inappropriate in the Assange article, it should be changed to something else. Thanks. Roy McCoy ( talk) 19:58, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
Thanks @ Nick Moyes:. Could you please explain "u" as opposed to ping or Reply to or Talkback. I'm confused about these options and wish there were fewer of them so I wouldn't have to be. – Roy McCoy ( talk) 02:32, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
Thanks @ Nick Moyes: and @ Timtempleton: ping seems to be most common, so I'll try sticking with that for the time being. As for Assange, I don't think anybody said he and Harrison were ever married, and as far as I can see my question about "esp." or "m." is still unanswered. My guess would be that "m." is far more established than "esp." and should thus be preferred and even strongly. Tim's "dated" seems an improvement to "esp.", but it raises the question of whether people who have only dated someone should be listed as a partner in an infobox rather than simply mentioned within an article's chief text. – Roy McCoy ( talk) 17:51, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

Why 18:00, 23 April 2019 (UTC)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.
When I read WP:RSSELF, about self-published sources, it seems clear to me that those can't be used as sources. This makes sense to me, as anyone can write something about any topic and put it on their blog and call it a source, and that would be disastrous. So I think I understand that policy. Nevertheless, when I removed content from John M. Ford that was sourced to exactly that, a self-published source by a non-notable, I have been reverted, more than once. So I thought I would ask here, as I've gotten help here before. Thank you. SteamboatPhilly ( talk) 17:36, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

talk) 06:15, 23 April 2019 (UTC)So.. I was trying to create a page for Club Penguin Rewritten, a Club Penguin Private Server created in favour of Club Penguin's closing, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Since it was a redirect to Club Penguin, I removed that and started to work on a page of its own.
So I was creating the page and everything was going smoothly, I put in an MMO stub so hopefully other people could contribute to my minute's worth of info. So then I wait for a few hours.
Hours passed, so I check in, go to my watchlist (the page was on it) and someone had edited it, I was thrilled, thinking that they contributed to the page. So I clicked on it, only to see, they removed everything and put back the redirect.
My question is, how do I edit a page, and make sure people don't re-direct it or delete it. It's a question I need answered. ;-;
Thanks. (^o^)

Just wanted to pop in to see if anyone can give me advice on my first draft article? I created the article for Draft:Dropout TV recently, for a new subscription media service. I tried to follow the same style as Netflix and Hulu, and put in information on the history of the service as well as original media. Could someone else take a look and let me know if this is appropriate? ChunyangD ( talk) 04:28, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

I have run across, from a link on another article, the article Elise Matthesen. It looks to me that this is a non-notable person, as there is no coverage of her in reliable sources. The references in the article are mostly her own work, plus a mention of her in someone else's obituary, a self-published blog-type source, and a source that doesn't appear to mention her at all. I think that deleting this article is the right thing to do, but I've never gone through a deletion process before (the page on nominating an article is a bit intimidating) and I didn't want to be 100% wrong on my first try. I would appreciate if someone could take a quick look and advise me. I also would not be against someone else deleting it, just so that I can follow the process and see how to do it right. Thank you!

Greetings community
I wanted to inquire about having an article for a profit organization, from the KYC and identity services industry. I have read many of the community guidelines, specially notability and many other crucial ones. Is the right way to draft an article myself or request an article at companies and economics page. In my short research, I found the company to be fairly new but expanded quite rapidly and developed decent services. The organization seems to be recognized for it's AI use and services. Can references, referring to such collaborations and services come under notability and an article be made for the time being, keeping in mind information present in these references? The article which can later be updated, as more referenceable information becomes available about the company.
thank you for considering and feedback much required! ( Grevision ( talk) 07:01, 23 April 2019 (UTC))
Thank you @ Gråbergs Gråa Sång: for the prompt response and valuable feedback. I have gone through the COI guidelines, in my case, it is more of an SME or Subject Matter Expert intention that I seek to implement from. Additional guidance if there is a combo of COI and SME existing would be much appreciated. I bare no inclination towards any one company and seek for the improvement of content concerning this industry and the inclusion of such companies under wikiproject: Companies to the benefit of the Wikipedia community at large voluntarily.
thank you for pointing out the user name, I shall update it accordingly. ( Grevision ( talk) 07:45, 23 April 2019 (UTC))
Hello everyone. I am having an issue understanding the notability in Wikipedia.
I am trying to submit a standalone article of a person who has around 700K followers on Instagram, 200K followers on Youtube, etc ... and is famous in a region for instance. How do I use this material to support the notability? Thanks Wissam — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wabdelbaki ( talk • contribs) 07:26, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
What I mean is, when entering a piece of media as a new article, should the synopsis actually outline the entire plot? Or should it be a more basic summary? Some movie articles on Wikipedia have the entire plot scene by scene, while others have just the little summary from the back of the dvd kind of thing. Is one better than the other? Should I avoid entering spoilers in an article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Apathyash ( talk • contribs) 13:59, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
Good afternoon,
I signed up to Wikipedia today as I often see football players not being credited for certain awards they have achieved and would like to update these when possible. This morning I made an edit to the page of "Billy Sharp" to add his EFL League One Top Goalscorer awards to his page and this was removed. I understand that this may be due to the fact I couldn't figure out how to Hyperlink the specific seasons, player name, etc... Was this the only reason? What should I do to make updates that will not be removed? Was the source not adequate? The comment was removed rather than being fixed and his accolades are not on his page which I find strange. Any feedback, especially from the user who removed the comment, would be appreciated.
Best, Ryan — Preceding unsigned comment added by RyanFrog11 ( talk • contribs) 13:30, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

I followed the same outline as that of the already published page of [2019 Dublin City Council election] so I assume it should be dealt with quickly as I would love to create all or at least some of the other pages related to the election but I wont be doing that if it turns out not to be published. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ElectionHack2019 ( talk • contribs) 22:11, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Gooday everyone - complete Wikipedia (editing) newbie here. This is a question that I'm sure gets asked rather frequently, so please, be gentle.
I have my own TV series on Amazon Prime, called Travels by Narrowboat. Originally the early seasons aired on YouTube but are now available exclusively on both the Pay Per View platform, Vimeo On Demand (VOD) and now also Amazon Prime (currently season one).
At the moment the series stands at 5 seasons and 34 episodes (on VOD), and it's popularity is expanding daily. The series has also just received it's own verified Google Knowledge Panel (which is a little garbled at the moment).
Simple question then, is this series suitable for inclusion on Wikipedia (like The Grand Tour for example) and if so, am I permitted to write this page myself please, (or how does one go about getting it created)?

Hello and thank you for replying. I'd never heard of Entourage but I have now, thank you. Looks very interesting - sounds rather like the 'journey' I've been on. Perhaps it'll be best to wait until all the hard work and seasons are completed, and then attempt a Wikipedia page 'after' I've done the same amount of work promoting it?

Can someone help me edit my draft so my page doesn't read like an advertisement. There are plenty of wiki pages about sports teams (pro through amateur) and I am just trying to add another. I have all the information and references to the club and such, but I still get reviewer notes that it reads like an advertisement.

I just now noticed that Tim Templeton wrote in his previous reply to my question about "esp.": "If they [Julian Assange and Sarah Harrison, in the infobox of the article on Assange] aren't married, it shouldn't say esp." He may have edited that in after I first saw the reply, but in any case the question then becomes what should appear to indicate the beginning of a non-marriage partnership. Also, does this mean that both "m." and "esp." are used for the beginnings of marriages? I assume in any event that if "esp." is incorrect or inappropriate in the Assange article, it should be changed to something else. Thanks. Roy McCoy ( talk) 19:58, 21 April 2019 (UTC)
Thanks @ Nick Moyes:. Could you please explain "u" as opposed to ping or Reply to or Talkback. I'm confused about these options and wish there were fewer of them so I wouldn't have to be. – Roy McCoy ( talk) 02:32, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
Thanks @ Nick Moyes: and @ Timtempleton: ping seems to be most common, so I'll try sticking with that for the time being. As for Assange, I don't think anybody said he and Harrison were ever married, and as far as I can see my question about "esp." or "m." is still unanswered. My guess would be that "m." is far more established than "esp." and should thus be preferred and even strongly. Tim's "dated" seems an improvement to "esp.", but it raises the question of whether people who have only dated someone should be listed as a partner in an infobox rather than simply mentioned within an article's chief text. – Roy McCoy ( talk) 17:51, 23 April 2019 (UTC)

When I read WP:RSSELF, about self-published sources, it seems clear to me that those can't be used as sources. This makes sense to me, as anyone can write something about any topic and put it on their blog and call it a source, and that would be disastrous. So I think I understand that policy. Nevertheless, when I removed content from John M. Ford that was sourced to exactly that, a self-published source by a non-notable, I have been reverted, more than once. So I thought I would ask here, as I've gotten help here before. Thank you. SteamboatPhilly ( talk) 17:36, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
Hello everyone,

Hi A lad insane, and thank you for your response. As you can see, I'm new in here and not sure how to respond on the same lead.
How do I modified the table then? Because at the moment, it has those tiles to flip the years over, but what I would like, is that straight away, when you're in the Wiki page without having to flip, you can see the latest tracks to the first one.

Thank you, Roger. Now I have a bigger problem. People is removing the whole content from the page. They're actually deleting facts: a list of songwriting credits and discography with verified sources. I don't know want to do.

If I copy an article into my sandbox to play with, does it matter if I also have the category labels? I see that makes my sandbox show up on the category pages, which isn't ideal. But will anyone mind? (Use case: copy article source to sandbox, do a series of edits that makes it worse and then better, check that the article hasn't been edited since, copy sandbox to article) Iamnotabunny ( talk) 06:01, 23 April 2019 (UTC)
<!--
before the categories in your sandbox, and add -->
after the categories. Alternatively disable the categories with a leading :, e.g., replace [[Category:FooBar]]
by [[:Category:FooBar]]
. User pages (incl. sandboxes) popping up in categories not designed for user pages are seriously disruptive, it's about the only reason when I'd edit user pages of other users to fix this. –
84.46.53.123 (
talk) 06:15, 23 April 2019 (UTC)So.. I was trying to create a page for Club Penguin Rewritten, a Club Penguin Private Server created in favour of Club Penguin's closing, yadda, yadda, yadda.
Since it was a redirect to Club Penguin, I removed that and started to work on a page of its own.
So I was creating the page and everything was going smoothly, I put in an MMO stub so hopefully other people could contribute to my minute's worth of info. So then I wait for a few hours.
Hours passed, so I check in, go to my watchlist (the page was on it) and someone had edited it, I was thrilled, thinking that they contributed to the page. So I clicked on it, only to see, they removed everything and put back the redirect.
My question is, how do I edit a page, and make sure people don't re-direct it or delete it. It's a question I need answered. ;-;
Thanks. (^o^)
