I'm not sure [1] was a good idea. You should use the actual deletion-process. It may not work out in your favor, but you should start with that. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 19:23, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ref number 21 is all wrong - please leave in quote and repair if you have the time. Thank you 114.76.38.200 (talk) 02:22, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Since the error message states Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= you know that the problem is |publisher= field. One solution would be to replace the |publisher= field with |newspaper=The Tatler |location=London and not bother with "England". Happy editing!

Just musing. Many "notable" things on Wikipedia are quite famous. Even the ones that aren't household names at least have some fame? Greg Dahlen (talk) 08:41, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia-style notability is described in Wikipedia:Notability. Yes, it's closer to fame (as I usually understand the word) than it is to notability (as ditto). But such comparisons aren't likely to be helpful. Better just to take notability (as used hereabouts) to mean what Wikipedia:Notability (together with its various offshoots) says it means. -- Hoary (talk) 08:48, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It can be, but not always. There are famous people that are not notable enough for an article, and people notable enough for an article who are not famous. 331dot (talk) 08:49, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Greg Dahlen: as with many other communities, the Wikipedia community borrows words from the English language and redefines than to have specific technical meanings that are not precisely congruent with the common English meaning. Within our community "notability" has the specific meaning of Wikipedia:Notability. You are basically asking how this translates into common English. -Arch dude (talk) 15:27, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tripurari had been a redirect to Tripurari Swami until yesterday, when an editor replaced it with an article which appears to be autobiographical and about a non-notable poet. How should I tackle this? Revert? Prod? AfD? Something else? Confusingly, the talk page still redirects to the Tripurari Swami talk page. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 09:04, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Either revert, CSD per
  WP:A7
  , or AfD seem good options to me for the poet page. Looking at the author’s userpage, the article had been draftified earlier in March, presumably for the same reasons.

I also wonder if

MOS:HON which says (summarized) that honorifics are not usually included but can be if the person is known predominantly under a name that includes the honorific. If you are familiar with the subject matter (I am not) you might have an idea of whether a move to Tripurari (once the poet is kicked out) is warranted.

I first saw this a few minutes after posting this morning, and thoughtthat within a few moments, somebody would return it to a redirect. Now, a few hours later, nothing has changed, so I'm going to do it. -Roxy the sceptical dog. wooF 15:31, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Based on the Turkish WP-article [2], do you really want an article about him on en-WP too? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 13:49, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey all, so this person removed a source and added his own info on Copa América records and statistics. I corrected his edits 7 times. Already reported it on the vandalism page, but apparently it's not the right place. So where do I go next? Thanks in advance. Aquatic Ambiance (talk) 10:31, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am Hyapatia Lee. I am trying to correct errors to my page and update missing information. I am sick. I have panhypopituitarism, a life-threatening and rare condition. It is difficult for me to devote time to learning how to code and all that is necessary to make the changes myself. Much of this information, I feel, is derogatory and it is important for me to remove it. As someone who has been in the public eye and currently has a TV show seen in 38 market areas across the US, I feel it is important to get the correct information out there. However, with my condition and my work, I don't have time or health to devote to correcting errors that constantly get reverted back simply because I don't understand HTML and don't have time to learn. Can you PLEASE HELP ME? This is extremely distressing to me. Thank you for your time.— Preceding unsigned comment added by HyapatiaLee (talk • contribs)

I have no idea how to add my books to my page. I have no idea how to add 7 of my courses on 3 platforms, or my TV show seen in 38 cities, or my Filmmaker award for the show, or my life-threatening health condition. Every time I try, you send it back!!!! I don't have the health for this! My condition is life-threatening and your page doesn't give me any credit for all the work I did for the last 20 years of my life! This is affecting my health in a dangerous way! I can't figure out HTML just to correct your errors! I'm 60 and sick! No wonder I have such a bad taste in my mouth over Wikipedia. I seem to remember this happening to me years before.

I am sure it is frustrating; could you ask a friend to create their own account and work on your behalf? 331dot (talk) 17:14, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

declare your COI on your user page and post requests on Talk:Hyapatia Lee - or use the Wikipedia:Edit Request Wizard. If you recruit a friend as 331dot suggested, they will have to declare their COI. Hope this helps! GoingBatty (talk) 17:42, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply

I am a musician, song writer and activist from a pretty prominent Zimbabwean musical family. I have created verbiage for my wikipedia page. How do I get it uploaded under my name?

Why does de:Benutzer:Schnark/js/journal^[1] not appear? (See the wixitext.) ― Qwerfjkltalk 20:29, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Because you forgot to precede the de prefix with a colon (which I've now added). If you go back to your version you'll see that the effect was that in the language links in the left-hand toolbar the link was to de:Benutzer:Schnark/js/journal instead of to the German equivalent of the help desk. --David Biddulph (talk) 20:37, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm speaking with people on the NPOV noticeboard about a paper, that seems like it is partisan advocacy and should not be considered a reliable source.

Is there any way to do a search and find out if any other pages that use the same source?

@Bob drobbs: You can use the "insource:" search function to locate pages that contain a link to that paper: Special:Search/insource:"researchportal.bath.ac.uk/en/publications/the-israel-lobby-and-the-european-union", there's also Special:LinkSearch That can be used to do the same thing. 192.76.8.74 (talk) 23:10, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I want to add a tracker for WP:WikiProject Psychology that tracks the number of articles whose quality has been assessed within the last 10 years, and ideally another for articles assessed in the last 5 years. There isn't an existing category to pull from for this, and we have way too many articles to count them manually. The WP1.0 bot does record the date of the version that was assessed, so I know that information is at least technically available. Any advice would be appreciated! --Xurizuri (talk) 23:43, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
