Good Day, I came across this Large Blanking and I believe the deleted sections though unnecessarily large, don't deserve to be deleted, rather truncated. and cited. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Story_of_an_Hour&action=history, thank you. STC1 (talk) 02:05, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed - I have reverted the blanking and instead added Template:Overly detailed. -Elmer Clark (talk) 05:26, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Elmer Clark: thank you. STC1 (talk) 07:13, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

STC1 you could have reverted this yourself see Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. The IP editor has drawn attention to an issue with the article, so you could also remove some of the excess detail. TSventon (talk) 11:27, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@TSventon: I wasn't sure, hence the Help Desk. STC1 (talk) 12:58, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@SierraTangoCharlie1: I understood you wanted advice so I wanted to give you some more background if you see something similar in future. TSventon (talk) 13:05, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@TSventon: Yes, I now Know. Thank you. :) STC1 (talk) 13:23, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Let's say if a company says on their own web page "We were founded in 1920", are we allowed to cite that? Or is that source a COI? Thank you! --Abillionradios (talk) 02:26, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Abillionradios. For the sake of discussion, let's assume that the company is notable and has a good reputation, based on significant coverage in reliable sources, and those sources go back decades. Then, the company itself is is an acceptable source for its founding date. On the other hand, let's assume that the company is described in reliable sources as a "start-up" and has a reputation for not telling the truth to customers and investors. In that case, an independent, reliable source would be required. It is a matter of editorial judgment. Good judgment. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 05:44, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Citing a primary source is ok but it does not improve an article's notability.

I have a feeling that user ({date=May 2021}) might need to be blocked for his intransigence here, considering his initial reaction to criticism was to blank it. This should be escalated to

WP:ANI, I think. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^{Jéské Couriano} 12:57, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply

@Jéské Couriano: I was surprised too, at the blatant lack of any procedure followed. I shall do the needful and escalate this. Appreciate the guidance. STC1 (talk) 13:02, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@SierraTangoCharlie1, Jéské Couriano, and Shaquille.oatmeal3333: I think we should at least try to get a response from the editor in question first - it doesn't look like there has been any attempt at communication beyond edit summaries. He should have been pinged by now, so I would wait for further action before going to ANI (but I won't prevent you from doing so). LittlePuppers (talk) 13:07, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

See the diff I linked above, LittlePuppers. A user brought up the article's issues and called him by name, and he reverted it off. That's not a good-faith misunderstanding. —A little blue Bori v^_^v ^{Jéské Couriano} 13:32, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SierraTangoCharlie1, somehow I missed the talk page blank when I looked through the user's edits. Consider my concerns resolved. LittlePuppers (talk) 13:54, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm noticing that Shaquille.oatmeal3333 is a one-day-only SPA, which suggests they were hired to "work on" the article, and not to answer questions from WP.--Quisqualis (talk)

But,

significant coverage of her. Remember that Wikipedia is basically not interested in anything that the subject says or wants to say about herself, or what her associates say about her: it is only interested in what people who have no connection with her, and have not been prompted or fed information on her behalf, have chosen to publish about her in reliable places. --ColinFine (talk) 14:55, 19 May 2021 (UTC)--ColinFine (talk) 14:55, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply

I added an article about my father 'Raymond Ray-Jones' to Wikipedia some years ago and now want to add another 'SfB: the first special classification for the building industry' which is already typed using MS Word. I am the author.Alan (talk) 14:19, 19 May 2021 (UTC)--Alan (talk) 14:19, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Of course it will need to be modified in accordance with Wikipedia conventions and I'm sure it is not perfect, but having read a lot of Wikipedia 'How-to' pages, I am still not sure how best to go ahead. Can I upload it to editorial main-space and then work on it, or get permission to edit and use an editing wizard, or should I upload it for far more experienced editors to have a look at it first?

Thank you for your help with this query. Alan Ray-Jones, former Architect & RIBA member, UK Alan (talk) 14:19, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Your First Article? Does your draft have references? presumably they won't be in Wikipedia format. You could put the Word article into your sandbox, User:RJalan/sandbox, then ask for more advice if you need it. TSventon (talk) 15:26, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply

Alan there is some guidance on translating en Wikipedia articles at Wikipedia:Translate us. There is a tool to translate articles, which I haven't tried, but a volunteer, possibly your friend, would be needed to check the machine translation. TSventon (talk) 16:14, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

In the User creation log special page, how can I filter the results to only those users who have contributed something, i.e., their contribs is not a redlink. Jay (talk) 18:20, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Jay: I don't think there's a built-in tool for this, but I asked about this some time ago at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests, and DannyS712 helped put together a short user script for me that does exactly this (I installed it at User:DanCherek/UserLogPatrol.js). It adds a "More" tab at the top right part of the user creation log page, and if you click "Hide" in the dropdown menu then only users with contributions are shown. DanCherek (talk) 18:27, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I have imported it and it works! Will it be added to Wikipedia:User scripts/List? Looks like I am the only other user using it. Jay (talk) 18:46, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I'll put it on my to-do list after writing a short doc page and figuring out where it should be placed on that script list. DanCherek (talk) 20:24, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Folks!! Once again a copyright question, regarding this image: [2] This was taken by a German soldier at the end of 1944 or early 1945 (I've only just started the article). It was taken in the Netherlands, as that was where the radio team was base. There are hardly any images of this type. I've been looking for about three years and seen never anything like it, or even one of them, hence the reason for the question. Is it possible it is in some kind of public domain as it was taken by a member of the German army? I have no idea, really. Thanks. scope_creep^Talk 21:27, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
