im having issues finding my draft article

I tried to write an article "College Hockey Bluebloods" and it was pushed back to me to make further edits but I can't find it yet. Can someone help me find it? Jackmar1 (talk) 02:17, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Help with transcluding a section to a new article

I recently have been editing the List of campus radio stations, which covers multiple countries. The United States section has grown to dominate the listing by at least a 4:1 ratio and could possibly grow another 50 percent. For this and other reasons, I believe the section warrants its own page, as is the case with the List of campus radio stations in Canada (a much smaller listing). Using the Talk page, I have alerted the most active editors to the possibility and only one has responded, expressing their support. Hence, I would like to proceed with WP:Splitting. Originally, I thought this would entail a simple procedure, but after reading through the main topics and help pages on the subject, I'm stymied. Is there admin or other assistance available for doing this? BTW, I also would like to use a slightly different name for the new page: List of college radio stations in the United States. Allreet (talk) 02:53, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Follow the instructions in WP:PROPERSPLIT (steps 1-5 should suffice in this case). Just transfer the US list to List of college radio stations in the United States, noting in the edit comment that this comes from the main list for attribution purposes. Then do a bit of cleanup and add a hatnote in List of campus radio stations like others already there. Clarityfiend (talk) 07:15, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Wonderful! I read this procedure before, and because some concepts are relatively new to me in terms of hands-on, the "headspinning" got in the way. With your assurance, I believe I can get over that. I'll follow the step-by-step as necessary and do the best I can. If I have any doubts about the end result, I'll ping you here. Many thanks.

Pointer needed to guideline regarding adhering to established terminology and characterisation

Hello, after spending some time browsing and searching, I figured I'd better ask an expert who can point me to the editing guideline, or MoS article, which states that text of WP articles should adhere to established or universally adopted terminology and characterisation and avoid deviating from it or inventing something new.

Many thanks for helping out with this. 188.66.32.240 (talk) 10:40, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Attribution after splitting problem

Hi, following the WP:SPLIT procedure I added diffs and version IDs to Talk:Concorde histories and aircraft on display using Template:Copied. In both templates 'this version' is linking to the current pages and not the versions that were used. Hopefully an easy fix, thanks. Nimbus (Cumulus nimbus floats by) 13:22, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

@Gnu779 Please read the whole of the box at the top of your Draft:Pelles C very carefully, including reading all the linked pages.

Uploading SVG replacement

I'm learning how to use Inkscape, so I figured I would practice on some WP images that have been flagged for vectorization. Vectorification? Anyway, this file seemed like an easy enough one to start with. I've created the SVG and am ready to upload. The instructions strongly imply that I should "improve" the file here first, then move to Commons. But when I go to "upload a new version of this file", I am stymied because it won't let me change the file type (or even the file name, which is also not great). So... what exactly am I supposed to do? And, thinking about this further, the current image looks like crap because it was shrunk as a non-free image. Well, that's great but my SVG could be expanded to the size of a billboard. So, which is it? Is it a non-free image that should be kept tiny and used under fair use - or should it be converted to a vector so it can be scaled up infinitely? Matt Deres (talk) 14:34, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

@Matt Deres If you now have a good .svg for that file, I'd be inclined to upload it to Commons via the Wizard, giving it a suitable name with file extension .svg. The existing file is a .gif and can't be renamed as an .svg. Once you have placed your new file into Cincinnati Celts, that old .gif can be marked for deletion on en:Wikipedia, as we don't need it any more. Mike Turnbull (talk) 15:59, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

I'd be inclined to do that as well, but I stupidly did the work before realizing that the file had been flagged as being fair use - Commons doesn't accept fair use images. I made the new file myself, but if the image is copyrighted, I don't have the authority to release it. Like, this is also an SVG file, but it's flagged as being copyrighted and so is not suitable for Commons. Don't get me wrong; I doubt anyone is going to come hunting down WP for infringement of a logo for a sports team that was defunct a century ago, but I want to do the right thing as well. Matt Deres (talk) 21:17, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

But the Image page uses {{PD-textlogo}}, which says that for reasons of simplicity, it cannot be copyright, and so is in the public domain. This means that you can upload it into Commons with the same justification. ColinFine (talk) 22:12, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

question

how to create a page on wikipedia David.trajchevski4 (talk) 17:18, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

It is the advice of myself and many other editors not to create a page on Wikipedia until you are well-versed with such concepts as the Manual of Style, notability guidelines, and sourcing guidelines. Consider joining a WP:WikiProject, or otherwise doing suggested newcomer tasks to gain more experience. However, the bare minimum requirements to create a page are to have at least 10 edits, and an account age of 4 days; failing this, you can use the wizard at Wikipedia:Articles for creation to create a draft, which will be reviewed by more experienced editors before being published.

Wiki Article cleanup help

This article from si.wikipedia.org si:උණවටුන මහා විද්‍යාලය, a school, looks more like a school website page rather than a wiki article. If this page was to be in the english wikipeia, what would be the changes done to this article? As in what will be removed based on what criteria and such. No guidlines regarding these exist on the si.wikipedia, so im trying to bring it upto en.wikipedia standards. Pls help VihirLak007^hmu!/_duh. 20:49, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

I'm having trouble getting the page translated, but the list of subjects, the school song, and the vision/mission would all likely be removed from EN.wiki. The alumni would all need either a valid wiki-link or a reference to support notability. Matt Deres (talk) 21:27, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

I need help to move 3 redirections i created and delete the 4th.

Move these 3 redirections from Kosovar to Kosovan (missspelled):

Category:Kosovar brands to Category:Kosovan brands

Category:Kosovar drinks to Category:Kosovan drinks

Category:Kosovar alcoholic drinks to Category:Kosovan alcoholic drinks

and

Delete this redirection , (NATO didn't bomb the whole balkans, lol) - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nato_bombing_of_the_balkans&redirect=no

If you can help, thank you. Leutrim.P (talk) 22:22, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Leutrim.P Hi, the first three are categories, you can use Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Speedy, criterion C2E: Author request, possible requesting redirect rather than deletion of the old pages.

For the fourth you can use Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G7. Author requests deletion. TSventon (talk) 22:44, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Sice you dont want to help, thanks for the response and references you made. Leave it like that i dont have time to deal with a redirection for years. Leutrim.P (talk) 23:15, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

After looking at your talk page I noticed that you appear to have a great interest in anything Kosovo. And while it is great that you like your country, you need to remember that Wikipedia is only interested in information that can be found in reliable sources.

The three categories that you are talking about have been recommended for speed deletion. So I don't think that it would be wise to rename categories as they are being deleted. I would first deal with the speedy deletion before thinking about the renaming.

And as far as the NATO related request, just be cause they did not bomb all of balkans does not mean that they bombed it. It would be like saying Nazi Germany did not get bombed, cause not every inch of the land had a bomb land there. Do you see?

User Page Talk Contributions Sheriff U3 22:46, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Correction, For the fourth you could use Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion, but other editors might disagree. TSventon (talk) 22:50, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Also, there is another redirect NATO bombing of Republika Srpska, so perhaps Nato bombing of the balkans should be a disambiguation page, with Balkans capitalised. TSventon (talk) 23:09, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Actualy im totaly blind, where is the topic about reliability , i cant see it? can you?

If no one wats to help fix them, its totaly fine, i understand it.

Your vision is totaly unbased in this case, that redirection leads to the bombing of RF Yugoslavia (serbia and montenegro) which it doesnt have the whole big territory it had before 1990, so in this case you dont have a point, its a fraction of balkans only one country, so you cant pretend it bombed Europe if it bombed, Belgrade. You could say "Nato bombings in europe" not bombing of europe. It should be first lingualy correct, so it can be politically correct later.

I am an administrator in Albanian Wiki and contributions in there were related in similar topics in here, thats why. I have a big list of things to do and didnt have enough time to make good articles here, which i might do in the future. I dont think there is anything wrong in writing about Kosovo, Abkhazia or even Australia. Everyone can find a place in their best field where are better prepared for. Ex. Im not so good in physics.. Leutrim.P (talk) 23:29, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Leutrim.P I am trying to help by letting you know how you can get your issues dealt with. I am not an admin, so I can't delete pages myself. TSventon (talk) 23:40, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

You maybe an admin on a different wiki, but when you are on the English Wikipedia you need to follow the rules here.

Looking at some of your previous replies you appear to not be willing to follow the correct process. If you are unwilling to follow the correct channels you will not get very far without issues. And the editor that responded is trying to help, by telling you the correct way to do it. The Nazi Germany bombing was an example. You also have to remember that we don't have the same background of the topic as you may have. There is nothing wrong with you writing articles that you want as long as they are:

1. Written from a unbiased view
2. Are properly sourced
3. Are notable

User Page Talk Contributions Sheriff U3 23:52, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

Sheriff U3, we often handle requests for querants at this venue, and using arcane processes has very little to do with follow[ing] the rules (for example, misplaced or malformed requests are often corrected by editors experienced in the relevant process). We usually only straight up refuse to help people directly if: it's something we don't want to do / think is a bad idea; or, it's Srbernadette asking for someone to fix trivial citation template parameter errors for the umpteenth time.

If fielding requests at the Help Desk, I'd encourage you to aspire to increased helpfulness. I feel your comment above comes off as condescending.

In this case, it looks like the OP has created the respelled categories, and emptied the misspelt ones into them. The misspelt ones are already tagged C1 so this should see resolution in a week's time. Folly Mox (talk) 12:07, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

November 4

Odd question.

Do we have to use the words used in sources to describe places and things, or do we use the most accurate words? For example, if a source calls calls a quarry a cave, despite it not being a cave, do have to abide by the words used? My specific example for this would be the previous revision of this.

Thanks!

Kingsmasher678 (talk) 00:11, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

@Kingsmasher678, this is a tough question to handle in general. We're not obligated to say things that are wrong when we know they're wrong, but we are also supposed to avoid original research. Can you find no sources that call it a quarry? -- asilvering (talk) 01:15, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

It's not about that particular case as there are some sources that do list the site as a quarry. My real question is the semantical differences between "quarry" or "tunnel", and "cave", and if it would be appropriate to change from one to the other, depending on what the site actually falls under, based on the sources description. A very common issue with cave related articles is the mistagging of rock shelters, quarries, and mines as caves. For example, the page for Mega Caverns used to describe the structure as a cave, though it is a mine/quarry. TLDR: Is it acceptable to use a more accurate term for a formation/location even if that term is not used in a source, as long as the source provides evidence that it falls under that term?

AI-generated response in consensus building

I believe I've encountered a new account using a large-language model in a consensus building context. It's clear to me, anyway, but I don't quite know how to deal with this. Is there an equivalent to (Personal attack removed) I can use for LLM-generated content, as now there is non-trivial discussion underneath? Departure– (talk) 00:34, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

@Departure–, not that I'm aware of. You might want to hat the comment with Template:cop and Template:cob? I don't know that I'd do anything about it, myself, aside from perhaps making a reply asking the editor not to do that. -- asilvering (talk) 01:13, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Departure–, we have Template:AI-generated inline, which renders as: It is designed for articlespace, but usage in a discussion should be ok. (As with other templates in this vein, usage of the |certain= flag will remove the question mark at the end of the superscript link). The template accepts a |date= parameter as well; I'm not sure if User:AnomieBOT is scoped to add these outside mainspace if one is not included.

We don't quite have a policy on LLM usage yet, but what we do have is at WP:LLM. Since using a chatbot in a discussion is pointless and lazy, collapsing the entire contribution as suggested just above by asilvering is probably the better option. We don't have user warning templates for AI generated text outside mainspace, but a custom message on the editor's talkpage would be appropriate if you haven't done that already.

Article history...

Hello again!

I come back to the Help Desk regarding the article I'm working on, Glaiza de Castro. I recently checked the article history and discovered that the user who created the article, User:Mervin 110694, is a suspected sockpuppet.

If I will make a WP:GAC or WP:FAC nomination for the article in the future, will this fact affect the nomination process?

Looking forward to your reply. Thank you! Ramkarlo82 (talk) 02:46, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Category:Caves

I am trying to go through Category:Caves and remove/move things that don't qualify. Is there a way that I could search for precedent or consensus about this category and what should be included? My general feeling is that all of the manmade caves should be moved into categories that clearly delineate them as such, leaving the natural caves as the default, as a natural void is the primary definition of the word cave. However, if there is a previous precedent I would like find it before I start a big project.

Thanks in advance,

Kingsmasher678 (talk) 04:17, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Kingsmasher678, does Category:Artificial caves (6) work for your project? Recategorising constructed caves into this category should be non-contentious (it's already a subcat of Category:Caves, but not diffused by location).

To answer the general case, the associated Category talk: page is a good thing to check, but this namespace sees very little activity. The next step in a search for category discussion or precedent is the WP:CFD archives, like this one. Folly Mox (talk) 11:49, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Cool, thank you! I am going to make some subcategories for Category:Artificial caves, likely specifying which group/religion created them. Other than that, I am going to completely exclude quarries and mines from the category, only adding religious or culturally important places to that category, and since there is no precedent that I can find, the seems like a "be bold" situation.

Kingsmasher678 (talk) 14:44, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Being bold is often the best option ☺️ Be sure to be aware of WP:NARROWCAT in your subcategory creation. Folly Mox (talk) 17:13, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Autobiographies by Indian Authors

Hello Good evening. Is it possible for you to edit the page to include my book titled, " The Autobiography of a Little Known Indian 100 Countries 100 Wonders"just published by Amazon? Thanks. 2409:4060:395:76A6:B131:22E7:B0FF:A619 (talk) 09:08, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

No, self published books do not merit inclusion in Wikipedia in any form, sorry. List articles are not meant to document every possible member of the list that might exist, only those that merit Wikipedia articles, and to do that, your book would need to meet the definition of a notable book, which is unlikely for self published books(which anyone can do). 331dot (talk) 09:16, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

If people unconnected to you were to write books or academic journal articles about you (making you notable), your book could be mentioned in a Wikipedia article about you. If those same people wrote books or articles about your book, it could be notable too, and warrant a Wikipedia article. Both of those situations are quite unusual, and you absolutely must not write an article about yourself or your book, nor ask your friends to write those articles.

Copy edit

Hi, I have copy edited this article and its my first copy edit specifically on an article other than what i create or edit usually. Can anyone tell whether i did it right ?

Article:- List of urban local bodies in Andhra Pradesh. Rahim231 (talk) 13:59, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for copyediting the article and asking for feedback. There are a few things that I don't understand (I am unfamiliar with the topic):

• Why capitalize nagar in nagar panchayat? I think it's a foreign term but not a proper noun, so I would leave it uncapitalized but italicize it, and maybe add "(town council)" as a translation for its first use.
• Does a source say that the Guntur district "stands out"? If not, we should just state the fact that it has two corporations while the others have one each.
• The article says that every district has a municipal corporation, with one having two corporations. With a total of 17 corporations, this would imply that there are 16 districts, but it says there are 26. Moving this to the article's talk page since it's not really a problem with your copyedit.
• What is meant by "special status"?

Perception312 (talk) 19:51, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

1- Actually i didn't realize that while copy editing that nagar should be written in small letter since it meaning is a town or city, edited it.

2- I checked on the source it does not mention that so edited it as what you suggested

3- Removed it since the source does not mention it

Thanks. Rahim231 (talk) 13:01, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Married name

Helene Spilling and Martin Ødegaard are now married, according to VG. [1] It shows that on the Norwegian National Register of Citizens and has been widely reported. Helene has changed her name to Helene Spilling Ødegaard, so in her Wikipedia article, would every mention of Spilling need to change into Spilling Ødegaard? I'm not familiar with these name changes. Usernameisoccupiedtoo (talk) 14:16, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

@Usernameisoccupiedtoo Given that the marriage was very recent, almost all of the sources for the article will use her maiden name and per WP:COMMONNAME that will still be the article title. MOS:NEE says that the married name should be in the lead of the article (as it now is) but I don't see any need to repeat that surname everywhere. Mike Turnbull (talk) 15:38, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

Funny search results

I just ran a search for "South East Melbourne" after finding that it doesn't exist. Nearly all the early results (no surprise) are related to the South East Melbourne Phoenix or South East Melbourne Magic, two basketball clubs, but result #51 is South-East Melbourne, a redirect to geography of Melbourne.

Why isn't South-East Melbourne one of the top results? If I didn't know otherwise, I would expect it be the leading search (before the Phoenix and the Magic), since it's identical to the search term, except for a single punctuation character. Nyttend (talk) 02:12, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

I'm not able to duplicate: when I type search string "South East Melbourne", four articles appear in order: South East Melbourne Phoenix, South East Melbourne Phoenix all-time roster, South East Melbourne Magic, and Geography of Melbourne. However, as soon as I tap "enter" to execute the search, I'm redirected to Geography of Melbourne with no search result page displayed.

Outside of regular expressions, the search extension treats punctuation as "greyspace characters", equivalent to each other and to whitespace, so the hyphen does not matter.

Nyttend, which namespaces are included in your search and which search ordering are you using? Those might be affecting your results. Folly Mox (talk) 13:27, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I went to Special:Search (not the search bar on all pages) and typed there, with all default settings, including "Content Pages"; I don't know how to modify the search ordering. I'm familiar with Boolean, so I included the quotation marks to exclude references to South Melbourne that just happened to mention "east" somewhere else. If I remove the quotation marks, I see results comparable to yours (Phoenix, Magic, East Melbourne, geography, and South Melbourne), but with the quotation marks, it's again in the 50s.

•  Courtesy link: WP:HD § Permanently Banned on Hebrew Wikipedia
• Moved to archives:  Courtesy link: Wikipedia:Help_desk/Archives/2024 November 1 § Permanently Banned on Hebrew Wikipedia

Hi everyone, sorry to open a new question here out of nowhere again. I have an important question to ask you all now.

Well, you see... it seems part of the reason I was banned on the Hebrew Wikipedia was because I talked to them by mistake about drugs, alcohol, and getting laid(sex). I understand these topics are very personal and intimate, and might be considered inappropriate sometimes. Or, as I see things now, maybe its not just "sometimes", but "always". Is that true? Its not allowed to talk to other people on Wikipedia, about drugs, alcohol, and sex? if so, why are these topics so wrong and rude? We have articles on these things and there are full details including explicit photos about these things, so why its okay to leave these articles with the explicit content. But, when I try to talk to other people on Wikipedia about alcohol, drugs or sex, they appear very nervous, worried, angry, disappointed... and I can understand these things arent to be discussed publicly or between people who dont know each other at all, or good enough. But as you all probably know, we have articles about these things including explicit photos. And deep inside, we all watch porn sometimes, we all drink and become drunk sometimes, and we all take medications. And we all get laid. I'm sorry if I sound rude or maybe even crossing the line as they say. But, I must receive a clarification about these things before I explode out of confusion and numbness. With all that being said, if its not allowed to talk about alcohol, drugs and sex on Wikipdia with anybody, then I'll do what you say and will stop talking about it with anybody else on Wikipedia. We're all here to make Wikipedia a better place, and I'm part of this amazing community and all that. I dont "think" the community here is amazing, I KNOW. So if you're so amazing, I hope you can please give me a reply about what I'm asking now, despite how intimate, personal, and controversial alcohol, drugs and sex can be. Of course, What happened on Hebrew Wikipedia that got me banned wont happen here ever again. You can be sure about that. I just need a detailed answer about what I asked now. Thats all I need, and I'll continue editing like I always do because I love Wikipedia so much. Noam Atadgy (talk) 02:17, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia is an encylopedia, not social media, so unless your disclosures have some bearing on article content, it isn't appropriate. There are plenty of other sites where you can do that sort of thing. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:08, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Remember that the Hebrew Wikipedia is a separate project. We have no influence over their policies or who they choose to ban. 331dot (talk) 08:51, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

so nobody here cares about the ban on hebrew wikipedia? Noam Atadgy (talk) 01:25, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Noam Atadgy, I doubt it was the "intimate" content of your chat that got you banned. I suspect it would have been the same if you'd persisted in chatting about stamp collecting. We, and the editors at he:WP, are here to build encyclopedias, not to chat. Maproom (talk) 09:12, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Well, to help you understand the situation better, I need to explain to you what I talked about in private emails with one of the admins of Hebrew Wikipedia.

Well, you see... the idiot argued with me about a few useless things. He was very rude and disrespectful in emails, and I was relatively polite considering the "go fuck yourself" I've heard from him/her a few times in emails when I've been in touch with him. To tell someone to "go fuck yourself" is disrespectful no matter how or what way you use to look at things, and I was rude back, because I couldnt help being offended, feeling insulted and uncomfortable with someone else telling me to "go fuck" myself. That's extremely disrespectful. Beyond the disrespect of Hebrew Wikipedia Admins, I've encountered alot of disrespectful Wikipedians as well, you know, the community itself who edit the wikipedia to help improve it? They're there to improve it, including myself, but at the same time... they are there to be rude, to insult other people, to make other people feel bad and ashamed of themselves. Thats insane. I couldn't believe my eyes for a few moments, but afterwards, I realized the Hebrew Wikipedia tries to turn me into the monster, and not the other way around. I have too many screenshots and evidence of what I'm explaining to you right now, and thats why, I am not afraid to explain it to you now. I hope you understand.

If you still believe I'm the idiot who shouldnt take part in the Hebrew Wikipedia again, you've got a serious mental problem and you need help.

What do you have to say about the disrespectful admin who talked to me in emails, the admin from the hebrew wikipedia, and the overall rude nature of the Hebrew Wikipedia community?

I can only tell you one thing to conclude things up: I'm the one who wanted to help improve Hebrew Wikipedia, and I still want to do so, but you're not letting me do so with your strange, unfair and stupid bans and blocks which came to me as a big surprise out of nowhere, without me violating any rules, other than simply sharing private matters and perhaps being a little rude. But being "a little rude" is nothing compared to the "go fuck yourself" your admin told me in emails. Noam Atadgy (talk) 11:10, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

@Noam Atadgy: In case you do not get the hint, there is nothing that the English Wikipedia community may do to help with your situation on Hebrew Wikipedia. And it appears that no one here thus far wants to take up your cause. Directions have been provided to you on how to resolve the issue by yourself. Please proceed to Meta wiki instead of continuing here.

If you wish to press on your issue with Hebrew Wikipedia and/or its admin(s) further and not focusing on improving the content on English Wikipedia here, don't be surprised if someone requests that you are to be blocked on English Wikipedia for not being here to build an encyclopedia, or an admin here doing so without further notice. – robertsky (talk) 11:29, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Okay, cya then. Noam Atadgy (talk) 01:03, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Yes, Im here to help building wikipedia, but I stopped editing recently, not because I'm banned and cant edit, but because Im angry about Hebrew Wikipedia admins. I need somebody here, to tell me how to take care of them, without having to contact them directly, but maybe there's other admin from here or other place I can talk to, to help me take care of them. They are very rude and disrespectful, and they ban for no valid reason, you understand? Not because I'm some bored idiot who isnt here to help improve wikipedia, and so on.

And yes, meta wiki, how do I contact someone there to help me take care of hebrew wikipedia?

When I contact hebrew wikipedia by email, I already explained above, how rude they are in emails and refuse to help or listen to what I have to say. Now, they ignore me and dont answer any emails I send anymore. I have no one to talk to about this. I visited the link you sent of Meta wiki, but no one to talk to on there. Noam Atadgy (talk) 01:12, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Sorry mate, if you can explain? It says on there:

Create a subpage with a suitable name, for example Requests for comment/Reforming the RFC process and content:

{{rfc subpage

|status =

|comment =

|date = 20241106011523

}}

Below this describe your issue and submit the edit. Don't forget to sign your initial statement. The link to your page will automatically appear here, thus do not try to add it manually, but you may have to use the "Purge" link above, otherwise it may take some days until it happens.

Please ensure that you meet the requirements for opening a RFC, and that you notify the required parties or wikis, as per Requests for comment/Policy.

How do I do that? It doesnt let me edit the page and add a subpage. Noam Atadgy (talk) 01:15, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

i dont know what a subpage is or how to create it unfortunately. Noam Atadgy (talk) 01:27, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

maybe i was banned because one of your hebrew wikipedia admins was bored and found an easy target. Noam Atadgy (talk) 01:27, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

You keep saying “your Hebrew admins” but as people have said, the different language Wikipedias function independently - like different subreddits or Facebook groups. It does not make sense to ask people in a random one to help with you being banned or having grievances in a different one. -- NotCharizard ^🗨 06:28, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Urgent request to sustain the credibility of two pages.

I’m hoping someone can advise on how to get an administrator to review an issue, or even if it is an administrator that I next need to involve. I’ve seen the templates available for this, but I’m not sure where to place them. There’s an ongoing issue, now spanning over two article’s, where an (highly experienced) editor is repeatedly removing valid edits on one person’s article. They’re also questioning the relevance the subject’s daughter’s article. Both of these women are BBC TV personalities, with one recently deceased - making the deletions especially impactful for new readers. On my talk page, this editor is stating that my edits aren’t constructive and suggesting that I read up on Wikipedia guidelines before continuing to edit. I replied to him on my talk page, when he didn’t respond I responded to him on his talk page. I am now addressing him on both article pages. One only a few minutes ago, but another last night when he was clearly active. Apologies for the lengthy message, but I’m unsure where else to turn, aside from the “Help” section here, where responses tend to be quick. Elinoria (talk) 09:57, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

I forgot to mention that an anonymous editor came back and replaced my edits, but the initial editor keeps deleting them, and they are in an edit war. I am not the anonymous editor. Elinoria (talk) 10:01, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia works by discussion, achieving consensus, not by some "authority" (admins or anybody else) wading in and ruling.

The steps to follow are laid out in dispute resolution.

If you believe that an editor or editors are behaving contrary to Wikipedia's policies, then you can take it to ANI - but note that 1) this is for behavioural issues: ANI will not get involved in content disputes; and 2) your behaviour will be considered as well as theirs. Please read the material at the top of WP:ANI before deciding to post there. ColinFine (talk) 10:34, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Edit filter triggered

Why i am getting this error.

Your edit has triggered an automated filter and has been disallowed. It looks like you're trying to add an email address to this page. Doing that, especially with a personal email address, is usually a bad idea as it can attract large amounts of spam. Though there are a few legitimate reasons to include an email address, in most cases Wikipedia will remove email addresses that are added to articles or discussion pages.

How judicious should we be when we choose which articles to write for Wikipedia?

Hi all. I joined Wikipedia recently because I was interested in writing articles about arthropods in Asia. I've written a few already, including ones on Matrona cyanoptera, Cosmodela batesi, and Forcipomyia taiwana. I was telling my brother about how I'd added articles for these species, and he warned me that I shouldn't write about things Wikipedia labels as "low importance," as these articles needlessly take up space and cost Wikipedia money.

I've been reluctant to write any new articles since then. I want to ask, is he right that I should avoid writing "low importance" articles? If so, is there a way of knowing which topics are more important? Nephila121 (talk) 11:58, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

There's no rule against writing articles of "low importance" on Wikipedia, as long as they can pass notability guidelines. Your contributions are still appreciated regardless of the importance of the articles. Tutwakhamoe (talk) 12:08, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you very much, both for your kind words and the linked notability guidelines! Those are very helpful. Nephila121 (talk) 12:14, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

@Nephila121 Welcome to Wikipedia! Well, Wikipedia:WikiProject Arthropods welcomes like-minded editors like you. Your brother is right about one thing, articles take up space and cost money, but nothing has stop other editors thus far to write 14,731 (and counting) low-importance articles about arthropods, neither should you be dissuaded.

If you like to focus on more important articles, there are a number of existing arthropods-related articles that may require further improvements which you can click through at Wikipedia:WikiProject Arthropods#Assessment statistics. Focus your attention on the articles that are of stub-, start-, C-class quality and of mid- and high-importance. – robertsky (talk) 12:11, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Awesome, thank you! I'll definitely take a gander to see if I can contribute to any of the mid to high importance articles (though I'm also happy to keep writing low-importance articles so long as they're welcome here)! Nephila121 (talk) 12:19, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Mobile version

Hello,

On the pages Fort de Brégançon and United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, when seen on the mobile version, the infobox comes up above the first introduction paragraph. Could someone take a look? Many thanks!

86.247.154.109 (talk) 13:27, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Both of these articles used Template:Coord, with |display=title. According to Template:Coord/doc, When this template is used with display=title, the template is not displayed on mobile. So what was happening is that the mobile frontend was reading the first displayed information in the articles (the coordinates), then choosing not to display it. I've moved the coordinates to the infoboxes in both articles, and the first paragraph of the lead section now appears at the top on mobile. Folly Mox (talk) 13:45, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

For clarity / accountability / yall's information, when I changed the transclusion of {{coord}} to |display=inline (my first attempt), the articles displayed as: bare coordinates, infobox, first paragraph. Hence the decision to move the template inside the infobox. Folly Mox (talk) 13:59, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Multnomah tribe/people

It was NOT malaria that killed off the native peoples in the Great NW. It was most likely measles, smallpox or syphilis. The Multnomah area is above the 45 parallel North. Malaria is a disease of tropical and temperate countries between the latitudinal limits of 64° North and 57° South (Gill, 1921) with prevalence increasing towards the equator.

I'm busy

Someone please fix this. Keepupthe (talk) 14:23, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Direct this to Talk:Multnomah people. Departure– (talk) 14:44, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Note that the claim of Malaria is cited to source which I would have thought counted as reliable - though it doesn't cite its own sources, so possibly not. In order to challenge it you will need a source at least as reliable that says something different - and your argument above amounts to synthesis, which is not acceptable in a Wikipedia article. But please do bring this up on the talk page as Departure suggests, and you may find other editors who will work with you on the matter. ColinFine (talk) 16:00, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Wildly wrong fact, no idea whether to remove or what

On War_reserve_constable there's a statement that three War Reserve Constables (WRCs) were killed in the line of duty, and then the three are listed. But just for the Metropolitan Police alone by my count there's about 44 'deaths from enemy action' (they also list a few others, and the page doesn't just have WRCs) - although not always clear if they were on or off duty at the time (the one I was looking up when I spotted researching this issue Arthur William Gurr Thorburn was on duty guarding a bomb site). For certain I don't have the time to list all even from just this one force ... really uncertain how such a wildly wrong fact should be handled, doesn't seem fair to take down names from the article of the three listed ... also noting the Metropolitan Police WRC listed is NOT one of the 'deaths from enemy action' but most definitely was on duty (stabbed by a suspect). Rhillman (talk) 15:26, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

@Rhillman That section of the article doesn't cite any sources, so you could tag it with {{Unreferenced section}} in the hope someone will improve it. Meanwhile you should certainly express your concern on the article's Talk Page at Talk:War reserve constable. Mike Turnbull (talk) 15:43, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Blocking of my addition at Quit India Movement page by user Dympies

On "Talk" Page, you can read in detail. I have 4 historical citations for the same stuff which I tried to add in page "Quit India Movement" - It has NOTHING TO DO WITH SO CALLED HINDUTVA - this was my first contribution at Wikipedia and was blocked by Dympies who seems to be a very partisan person. People have advised me to take Wikipedia to a court in US (I am a US citizen). Dympies blocked it by saying citation should be from a book which is a non-sense. Several of Dympies' contributions fail his own test - for example on J.P. Nadda Wikipedia page, he has only one citation 18 (please see the weblink below - a political magazine India Today) claiming serious corruption charges against a very senior BJP minister in the PM Modi government in India - It is well known that "India Today" is anti-BJP (please Google words - "India Today anti BJP") - His sentence about corruption charge against Mr. Nadda and then also mentioning CBI report in the same sentence show that some how Mr. Nadda's name is there in the CBI report which is completely false (https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/jp-nadda-clean-chit-in-aiims-rs-7000-crore-scam-983691-2017-06-20) - his contribution on J.P. Nadda page should be deleted as it is from an anti-BJP political magazine based on he said she said type story. Significant number of his contributions need to be deleted at Wikipedia because all of them fall in this category - I do not have time otherwise I would have gone after each and every one by blocking citing same criteria which he used for mine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=J._P._Nadda&diff=prev&oldid=1242596783#mw-diffpage-visualdiff-cite_note-18

Significant number of Dympies' contributions are pro-Muslims and anti-BJP (in India) - his blocking of my stuff has nothing to do with lack of citations (of Hindutva) but instead he does not want world to know the stuff about MK Gandhi [why Gandhi opted for 1942 Quit India Movement) which I have written.

Please read here what Dympies wrote to me

Congress party is not known for fiddling with the history. It is the modus operandi of Hindutva activists to impose false history. Dympies (talk) 17:49, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your statements after statements about baseless Hindutva propaganda as well as your Wikipedia contributions (of mostly Muslim stuff) clearly show me you HATE anything which can be remotely related to so-called Hindutva. It is useless to argue with a pro-Muslim person!!!!! Sxk125125 (talk) 18:09, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Sxk125125. Please be aware that ethno-nationalist and religious personal attacks on your fellow editors are forbidden on Wikipedia. Please stop. Cullen328 (talk) 02:05, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

I would not have written it if Dympies would not have attacked me by writing "It is the modus operandi of Hindutva activists to impose false history." Do you know what is "Hindutva"???? This was my first contribution in Wikipedia - Dympies does not even know me - then how he known that I am Hindutva activist??? For his information, I have a PhD from US university and I was in Indian Administrative Service (please see Wikipedia page for it and also Google it) in India. My addition in "Quit India Movement" Wikipedia page has nothing to do with Hindutva at all. After he used this sentence, I went through the history of Dympies constributions and found that he himself had contributed sentences, based on just one citation based on he said she said type stories, in several Wikipedia pages but he blocked my addition because most probably he hates anything which is critical of Mahatma Gandhi!!!!!!!!!! He should not be an editor at Wikipedia at all. You need to warn him not to brand me a "Hindutva activist" because my contribution on Quit India Movement has nothing to do with "Hindutva activist" as he does not know me at all - my addition at "Quit India Movement" had 4 historical citations - .All my citations are from reliable sources from 1942 like British Government declassified files from British government archive websites. Apart from this, other citations are from August 5 1942 New York Times (anyone can access it) and Google Newspapers archive. He needs to stop being Gandhi lover on Wikipedia. It is truly said that victors write the history. Sixty years of Nehru-Gandhi dynasty rule in India has Completely corrupted the freedom struggle history in India and there are people who do want the world to know the truth!!!

Here are links of 3 archives as my citation (4th was August 5, 1942 New York Times - Why do you require a book citation to block???

As I wrote, it was Dympies who wrote FIRST following

Congress party is not known for fiddling with the history. It is the modus operandi of Hindutva activists to impose false history. Dympies (talk) 17:49, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

and then only I wrote following:

Your statements after statements about baseless Hindutva propaganda as well as your Wikipedia contributions (of mostly Muslim stuff) clearly show me you HATE anything which can be remotely related to so-called Hindutva. It is useless to argue with a pro-Muslim person!!!!! Sxk125125 (talk) 18:09, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

"Hindutva activists" means who propagate "Hinduism" - Do not you think that it was Dympies who wrote started ethno-nationalist and religious personal attacks on fellow editors????

You must warn Dympies for personal attack and also he should not edit any page related to India's freedom struggle because of his bias as he does not believe in historical facts at all and he would continue to harass people like me by blocking contributions by citing bogus Wikipedia rules. Sxk125125 (talk) 02:47, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Sxk125125, of course I know what Hindutva means. You seem to misunderstand the purpose of the Teahouse. We do not decide content disputes here. Instead, we give advice on editing Wikipedia, and its policies and guidelines, including its behavioral norms. And it does not matter at all if another editor misbehaves because that does not justify you misbehaving. That editor may end up getting blocked for all I know. I am not talking to that other editor. I am talking to you right now, and so I will repeat what I said to you above, as a formal warning: ethno-nationalist and religious personal attacks on your fellow editors are forbidden on Wikipedia and you must stop.

my edit was reverted because “ it did not appear constructive”?

Hello, I have just recently joined wikipedia (well today actually) and i started off by editing a page of a school where i studied, Potisarn Pittayakorn School. But it has been reverted back because my edits didnt appear to be constructive? Is it because my account is too new to edit these type of pages, or is it because I have to put sources and references to what i have edited? How should I solve this issue? apiwitch :3 (talk) 02:28, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

I suspect it was just an error. Removing the space from the name of the school makes it look to an English speaker kind of like a string of random letters, so the person who reviewed the edit probably thought it was someone vandalizing the page.

Having said that, can you explain why you removed the space from the name of the school? Does the proper name not actually have a space? If so then the article should be moved so the title matches.

@Fuzheado: Courtesy ping since we're discussing your revert here. --Chris | Crazycomputers (talk) 02:33, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Yes, the proper school name doesnt have a space, as it would appear in the official page and also the school’s facebook page (https://th-th.facebook.com/potisarnschool/). If there was a space there it would be “โพธิสาร พิทยากร“, which would somewhat look a bit grammatically incorrect to anyone that knows thai. But at the same time if it had been compounded together i think it would look werid, so I think — would “Potisarn-pittayakorn” make less confusion than my edits? (or should i put both iterations of them?) And also, yes, I had forgotten to move the title of the article, so I would like to apologize for that, I mean I forgot to do so, so its kinds my fault i got reverted, i think? Overall, I understand why Fuzheado would revert my edits, and I dont want to have him get into trouble for this. So how should I proceed next? apiwitch :3 (talk) 02:47, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

First, just to set your mind at ease, nobody is getting in any trouble here, and neither did you do anything wrong. We assume good faith here; your edit was fine and Fuzheado probably just misjudged it. As someone who also does RC patrol, it's very easy to make mistakes now and then when reviewing large numbers of edits.

There also isn't really an order you need to follow in terms of editing the name in the article versus moving the article to a different title itself. You have nothing to apologize for there!

As far as the article goes, I can't really say whether the title should be all one word or be hyphenated. If you are a native Thai speaker, I'd actually say that you're in a better position to make that call. What do you think would make the most sense? --Chris | Crazycomputers (talk) 02:51, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

well, I think I could go back and make the same edits again, but with changing the article, or the title name of the page so that it wouldnt be mistaken as vandalism and also adding some sources for my edits. Is there a way to change the name of the title of the page? I know this is probably some kind of a newbie question that could be searched on the internet ( well i kinda got confused by it) but how would one do it exactly? im sorry if my question was a bit confusing. And also, thank you for helping me with solving this issue, sir. apiwitch :3 (talk) 03:15, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

No problem. I will undo the revert to your changes so that you don't have to make them by hand again. If you would like to take care of moving the page yourself, you should be able to. If not, I'd be happy to assist. --Chris | Crazycomputers (talk) 03:21, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Well, right now, my account hasnt been autoconfirmed yet. and as ive looked on in the internet so far; it requires that status in order to move pages. So, if it doesnt bother you, could you assist me in moving the page Potisarn Pittayakorn School to the correct name of Potisarnpittayakorn School? Again, thank you for your help apiwitch :3 (talk) 03:39, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Ah, right. I just moved the page. Thanks for your patience and for approaching this matter with grace and civility. --Chris | Crazycomputers (talk) 03:42, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
