If a film and TV director's filmography is split into 2 tables ("film" and "television") which of those should a TV movie be placed in? I am unsure because it is on TV, and made for TV, yet still a film. Thank you, I'm just starting out as a wikipedia editor! Editor m 666 (talk) 21:03, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Editor m 666, and welcome to the Teahouse. That is an editorial judgment, to be settled on the talk page of the article involved. In general i would favor the television table, but there might be reason in a particular case for another result. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 21:10, 18 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to arrange what I believed would be an easy love affair between eclipsians and wikipedians: https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1085970/ (Is there such a thing as a Wikipedia local editor/compiler?), but after 18k views and not a single reply since May 4th, I would say I wasn't successful. Now, I may succeed if I provide at least a SAX HTMLContentHandler to that project, for which I would need the official html <-> wacky wiki map. I can't quite understand why wikipedia uses its own markup for editing, but all cultures come with their own quirks. Albretch Mueller (talk) 02:25, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the Teahouse,

It is virtually impossible to tell if you are being humorous or if you are just confused. I am not talking about the article on eclipses, but the java editor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclipse_%28software%29). I would like for an HTML component which "save as" wiki wacky source to be implemented Albretch Mueller (talk) 08:15, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think Cullen can be forgiven for not having the slightest idea what you were talking about, Albretch Mueller, when you gave hardly a hint what you were talking about, used jargon known to very few, and peppered your question with meaningless and rather disparaging jingles like wacky wiki. I get that you don't want to sully your hands with learning how to write Wiki markup and want to autogenerate it from some other markup. I don't know whether or not this is technically possible, but I agree with Cullen that VPT is the place to ask. --ColinFine (talk) 10:03, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I included in my initial post a link to exactly what I was talking about and why. Had you read that post, you may had had a better idea about your "sullying my hands" insinuation and done a better mind reading job. Albretch Mueller (talk) 13:08, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, Albretch Mueller, I did look at the link you provided and the logo at Eclipse.org depicts a stylized solar eclipse and the heading is "Eclipse community" so I went by the ordinary meaning of the word "eclipse" and answered accordingly, directing you to the proper place to ask technical questions. So I was being helpful rather than humorous or confused. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 19:32, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I also read the link and it doesn't say what eclipse is. It's written lowercase in both the logo and the post here so it's a natural assumption that it refers to the common word and not a proper name. People at "Eclipse Community Forums" of course know what eclipse means in their context but Wikipedia editors should not be assumed to know it. And I'm still trying to figure out whether "wacky wiki" is the name of something (many Google hits but no common meaning) or an expression made up by the poster for Wikipedia's markup language. I guess it's the latter but when you ask for help it would be a good idea to say what you are asking about without using made up names, or common words with unexplained uncommon meanings. Eclipse (disambiguation) lists numerous meanings including many in computing. PrimeHunter (talk) 19:56, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think the topic at hand is getting eclipsed by off-topic remarks. If you take Cullen's advice and post at VPT, you might have more success, instead of trying to walk around in the dark. - NsTaGaTr ^(Talk) 19:50, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Now the second name Sunil Bohra was not a producer (It was a legal issue of manipulations of him getting listed as Producer). For reference a news in leading Print Newspaper: http://www.hindustantimes.com/bollywood/sahib-biwi-aur-gangster-co-produced-by-karanveer/story-YNo1VyngnWRh8Qp3bTJoCM.html Ashu Gaur &#124; Business & Technology Consultant &#124; (talk) 02:49, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So the Producer was only Rahlu Mittra (Other name needs to be deleted) Ashu Gaur &#124; Business & Technology Consultant &#124; (talk) 02:49, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Ashu Gaur. If Bohra as producer is not stated in a reliable source, then you are welcome to remove it: unsourced material may always be removed. (I started looking at the references to see if it was, but gave up after I found several of them to be dead links). If Bohra as a producer is mentioned in a reliable source, then you are welcome to add that this has been disputed, citing the article you link to above; but it is not Wikipedia's job to resolve disagreements between sources, only to report them.

If you are not happy editing the article directly, then the article's tak page Talk:Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster is the place to suggest and discuss changes.

On another subject, Ashu Gaur, your question above was hard to understand, because you have got your signature wrong: you need to make sure the "Treat the above as wiki markup" button is checked when setting your signature. My personal opinion is that your current signature is inappropriately promotional anyway, but others may not agree with me. --ColinFine (talk) 11:25, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article is Draft:Innova Market Insights. It would have been useful if you had told us that, so we don't have to go and search your contributions.

I'm looking for feedback and more detailed comments on my article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:One_swallow_makes_the_summer

I dont realy know what to change:

- the title?
- more references?
- the wording?

If you can spot some parts which are god enough for this criteria (or parts which aren't) I'd be more than happy! Hgazsi (talk) 10:17, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Hgazsi. The feedback says "Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research." The thing to realise is that Wikipedia has no interest in what you (or I!) think or know; and in an article about van de Rijt's research it has almost no interest in what van de Rijt thinks or says. It is only interested in what people who have no connection with him have published about his research, and the article should be based almost 100% on that. I've looked at the first two references you give, and while they are certainly reliable sources, neither of them appears to me to be independent: the first seems to be based on an interview, and the second on a press release. You need to find some sources independent of him, and base the article on what they say.

There is also an issue of tone: you are telling a story, not giving a neutral summary of independent accounts. You also draw conclusions, ask further questions, and draw a moral: none of these is remotely appropriate to an encyclopaedia article. --ColinFine (talk) 11:57, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Mjolsen. I think you are a bit confused. Wikimedia commons is a repository for freely licensed materials to be used in other Wikimedia projects, such as Wikipedia. Most of its content is images, and some other visual and auditory media. It is unusual for PDFs to be uploaded to Commons, as doing usually serves no useful purpose - I rather expect that commons:DHARMA_RAP.pdf will get deleted soon as inappropriate to that project (though I am not an expert on Commons).

Hello, I am a new Wiki user. I wrote an article (Salma Okonkwo) in my Sandbox over the past week and moved it to Mainspace on yesterday. First, did I follow proper procedure? I am now reading that I should have submitted the article for review. Secondly, when will the page be accessible by searching the internet? Currently, it can only be accessed in the Wikipedia Search box.

SHerron 197.148.231.207 (talk) 19:16, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There is no rule that forbids moving an article to mainspace without review. But doing so runs the risk that the article will be deleted, as not meeting Wikipedia's standards. In this case (indeed in many such cases), the article provides no evidence that its subject is

notable, and it is likely to be deleted for that reason. Maproom (talk) 19:50, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply

I haven't myself proposed Salma Okonkwo for deletion, because I think it possible that evidence of notability may be found, for instance https://buzzghana.com/unraveled-checkout-over-30-big-nigerian-businessmen-holding-the-pillars-of-ghanas-economy/ .

Hi Calgarytech. References aren't the same as external links. The former are used to note sources that directly support something that's written in the article.

I have clearly blundered twice. I am looking for an image (of the front page of Chess Today) for the article Chess Today. I found an image of the front page of Chess Today online, uploaded it to wikimedia commons, and linked/embedded it. It showed up fine and looked right. However, it was quickly pointed out that I'd got that wrong in terms of copyright and all that (big red boxes and things), so I requested it be deleted and it was. Then I took a low-res screen-capture of the front page of chess today myself and uploaded that. That's been deleted too. Fair enough, I'm clearly out of my depth here. Lots of Wikipedia articles about newspapers have images of their front pages above or in the info boxes of those articles. How can I put a 'Chess Today' front page in the article without making a complete mess of it again and it getting deleted? When I tried to mimic the way it had been done in other articles I had clearly got it wrong, and I'm not sure how to get it right. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

Hello, SunnyBoi. I have added the AfC tremplate, so you can submit just by clicking the blue button near the top. I have also fixed yjr infobox in the draft, and many usages of the |website= parameter in {{cite web}} calls. This should be the name of the website, preferably as shown on screen, not the domain and particularly not the full url. the site name should not be included at the end of the |title= parameter, as some automated tools incorrectly do. If the site name is redundant with the |publisher= parameter, leave publisher out. For example if the site is |website=The New York Times it adds nothing to state |publisher=The New York Times Company. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 12:17, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Are these two distinct pages? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bortseb (talk • contribs) 14:08, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bortseb, they are indeed two distinct pages. The one at User:Emphrase/Human is in fact a copy of the mainspece article, however the copy was not properly attributed so it is in fact a violation of the copyright of all the editors who have contributed to the article throughout its history, thus I have tagged it to be deleted. The category situation is that the "extra" categories that appear in the userspace copy are actually all parent categories of Category:Humans thus they are redundant. However yet another complication is that article categories must only be used on articles in mainspace, drafts and (legitimate) copies of articles in other namespaces must not include "live" article categories.

Hi, Want to know if an existing profile page can be disabled/deleted and a new one created. The profile of the person I'm referring to has her surname, but she would like it to show the name people call her by. Or is it possible that the name be edited please? Also, am unable to change her photo displayed on the current page, didn't understand the rule mentioned about it.

i have been warned that my article will be deleted due to the following reasons, 1. i am making a promotional rather than encyclopaedia article. 2. copyright infringement of a blog. so please i have included the blod as the reference what else should i do to salvage the situationFabregado (talk) 18:52, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey

copyright violation

, then it has to be deleted, and there's nothing we can really do about it. We're legally compelled to make a good faith effort to remove such content.

As to the promotional tone, maybe

Hi

neutrally-written, encyclopedia article. To provide one example, this said that he "leaves bold and indelible footprints on the sand of time". That is evaluative, flowery, grandiose, non-neutral, promotional language. It's not "wrong" per se, but has no place in an encyclopedia.

Editing Carlos Núñez Muñoz just now, I noticed that while his latest album, Inter-Celtic, was listed with the date 2014, there was no citation for it. (Or the other albums, but this is the one that interested me.) I found evidence on his official website, on the page http://www.carlos-nunez.com/carlos/, where the top has a thumbnail of the cover and the text

NEW ALBUM

Inter-Celtic 2014

and the page text says, much further down,

All of that can be heard to great effect on his new CD, Inter-Celtic, released by Sony Music on February 10.

I thought the publisher info was worth adding as well as the citation, but two duplicate refs to the same page, differing only in the quote parameter, would be absurd. I could have just ref'ed the whole line

• Inter-Celtic - 2014, Sony

without any quotation, but including the quotes from a long page seemed preferable.

There seems to be no way to include multiple quotes in a single citation. quote1, quote2, etc. seem like reasonable ways to do it. I wound up joining the quotations in their order on the page, with "..." to mark the (very long) ellipsis between them. Is there something I'm missing here?

Please

Hello, Thnidu, and welcome to the Teahouse. Not all facts supported by a citation need to have a |quote= to support them. Indeed a quote= is never required. It helps people who cannot readily see the source understand how exactly the source supports a statement. This is particularly useful for offline sources and sources that require payment for access. A quote also helps locate the place in the source where support is given. There is significant resistance to overusing the quote= facility, lest a copyright issue arise, so i doubt that a quote1=, quote2= set of parameters will be added, alhtough uyou could propose it. In this case I think the sentence All of that can be heard to great effect on his new CD, Inter-Celtic, released by Sony Music on February 10. provides prtty neatrly all the information, and would be sufficient to include in the quote= parameter. But what you did is in no way wrong. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 13:30, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So, how do I go and make it show/direct ms:Okazaki, Aishi instead of ms:Aishi for ms language. Hayate891 (talk) 06:24, 21 June 2017 (UTC) Sorry, I forgot to mention. This is for english wiki Okazaki, Aichi, just in case. Hayate891 (talk) 06:26, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hayate891. None of the pages ms:Okazaki, Aishi and ms:Aishi exist. I assume you wanted to show ms:Okazaki, Aichi instead of ms:Aichi. I have removed [[ms:Aichi]] from the English article.[4] This means it will use ms:Okazaki, Aichi which you added to the Wikidata item Okazaki (Q242783). A local interlanguage link overrides a link in Wikidata. PrimeHunter (talk) 08:44, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks PrimeHunter :). Yeah sorry, I meant Okazaki, Aichi and Aichi. So, I look at the diff, and now I know why Aichi is there. Thanks a lot. Hayate891 (talk) 09:03, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please,I saved my article while I was still typing to avoid loosing the entire write up. It happened that I have not included my reference. Now I have done it I want the article to be retained, please if there are other things I did wrong inform me to make amends. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fabregado (talk • contribs) 10:24, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fabregado I´ll give you my opinion. The article is not perfect, but you have found what seems to be (at least partly) sources that discuss the subject in depth, which is essential, so I don´t think the article is in danger of speedy deletion. Next, you should look at Help:Referencing for beginners and add inline citations to the rest of the article. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:40, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, sometimes things happen very quickly: Godwin Ezeemo. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:43, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fabregado, Gråbergs Gråa Sång, I take it this is about Godwin Ezeemo (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), is that correct? I don't think that article is in danger of speedy deletion either. Expansion would be good, and there are some minor technical issues with the citation formats, but all that is just a matter of normal editing.

Hi, I am having some issues, I am seeking help but the editors who are placing tags on my contributions are not helping me and not explaining why they are doing that and I think they don't even verify anything and just place tags/banners blindly. As an example, this page

Hi

assume good faith, however I have not examined your whole contribution history so there may be some other factors involved. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 12:21, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply

There are other factors involved. In this case, the tag was placed on the grounds that with two editors hired to edit the article in recent weeks, it is very likely that the article has long-term COI problems. However, I'm not overly worried as to whether or not it remains tagged. If you feel that the article is neutral, that's ok with me. - Bilby (talk) 12:26, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

HeatherMPinchbeck: you have made numerous changes, most but not all of them improvements, to Ivan Olita. Since then several other editors have tried to make further improvements to the article. That's how Wikipedia gets improved: people deal with things they think are wrong, sometimes reversing what previous editors have done. Doing something which someone else thinks needs correcting is not "a crime". (Incidentally, I see that you wrote no edit summaries, while those other editors all did. Edit summaries aren't compulsory, but they do help with communicating with other editors.) Maproom (talk) 12:36, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply
