Hi can you help me with adding some rows in the source code of this page Tanuku. I need to add info regarding the constituency and jurisdiction etc.  Thanks prime hunter Viswasri7 (talk) 16:52, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

There isn't a table in Tanuku. If there are edits which you wish to suggest, you can make proposals at Talk:Tanuku, but you would need to suuport the proposals by reference to published reliable sources. --David Biddulph (talk) 16:57, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi Viswasri7, welcome to the Teahouse. If you refer to the box at the top right then we call it in an infobox with fields. The possible fields are limited to those with parameters at Template:Infobox settlement. PrimeHunter (talk) 19:02, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi! I don't want to edit "controversial" articles and get in fights, but want to contribute to the site, so I was thinking if there's something like a bot generated list of articles with bad grammar or ones in need of simple source verification, or anything similar to that. Like cleanup work? Or small things looking for consensus by regular editors? Or anything casual really that any new user can participate in without drama. Julia Domna Ba'al (talk) 05:16, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Julia Domna Ba'al.That is an excellent question. Please take a close look at Wikipedia:Community portal which is a place that exists to direct you to articles (mostly uncontroversial) that need the kind of attention that you are describing. Happy editing! Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 05:23, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

Wow, thanks. Julia Domna Ba'al (talk) 05:30, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

It sounds like you want to be a

Wikignome, Julia Domna Ba'al. Welcome to the club. There are lots of things you can do to help in totally uncontroversial ways. Many broad groups of articles will contain common statistics that need periodic updates (besides the obvious sports articles, settlement articles need population demographic updates, school articles need enrollment updates, countries need GNP updated, etc etc etc. The nice thing about that kind of gnome work is that you can familiarize yourself with the workings of one source and from it, update thousands of articles. Everyone wants to write articles. But we've got most of the articles we need already. Gnoming is very important, and it's great to hear from someone that likes to do it. Welcome!

My draft is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:St._Mary%27s_Seminary/Senior_High_School,_Lolobi#Notable_Alumni EssyDon100 (talk) 18:21, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

@EssyDon100: I made some changes to the article to improve it. There are too many unnecessary sources, many related to the list of alumni who I'm not sure meet Wikipedia's definition of notability. You are also missing sources for the awards, many of them are also not notable enough to include, and which will get the article flagged for being advertorial. I think you would have been better off writing a smaller more concise article and then adding info that can be properly sourced. Nonetheless, I think if you resubmit it, it has a better chance of being accepted. TimTempleton ^{(talk) (cont)} 19:50, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

reliable sources state about a subject, not what the subject wants to say about itself. Your draft, to be frank, would be extremely unlikely to be accepted as a replacement, as it is very promotional in nature("Nue Agency is a Creative Music Agency located in New York City. Nue sits at the center of music, brands and technology, transforming the music business through its approach to talent development, deal-making, and brand building" being one example). 331dot (talk

Can COI drafts about an important person be approveed by Wikipedia editors. 183.83.13.7 (talk) 03:32, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Possibly, depending on their quality. NB whether a person is notable according to Wikipedia's criteria is not the same as whether that person is important according to an average person (e.g. me), and it's likely to be very different from whether that person is important according to somebody with a COI. NB if people really are important, it's likely that editors without conflicts of interest will eventually want to write them up. So why the rush? -- Hoary (talk) 06:28, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, IP user. When people ask general questions like this, without identifying the particular article, it is very hard to help them, because so much of Wikipedia runs on consensus, so general answers are often useless. Which article are you asking about? --ColinFine (talk) 08:50, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

This one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Shamsher_Singh_(journalist) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.79.51.77 (talk) 09:31, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

You talk of a draft with no issues. This draft has issues. Let's just look at the first sentence: "Shamsher Singh is a Senior Indian Journalist." First, the capitalization is strange. Secondly, "senior" isn't clearly relative to anything in particular (cf Seniority in the United States Senate), and thus appears to be mere puffery. So better make that "Shamsher Singh is an Indian journalist." But his noteworthiness isn't apparent; better make that "Shamsher Singh is an Indian journalist who [whatever]". And that's just the first sentence. There's a lot more in this draft that would have to be fixed. -- Hoary (talk) 10:27, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Yes, that's odd. The article is List of Trump administration dismissals and resignations and I agree that it there seems to be no reason why one person should only have her first name listed – it used to be her full name, but it was changed at some point (the article is so huge that it takes an age to load the history, so I haven't been able to see yet when and why that was done, but I don't see any obvious explanation of it). I'll make this change now. For the future, if you are not sure how to make an edit you should normally ask about it at the "Talk" page of the article (which you'll find at the top of each article).

Regarding "Land of Confusion" and the video by Genesis, specifically this: "The video opens with a caricatured Ronald Reagan (voiced by Chris Barrie), Nancy Reagan, and an orangutan, going to bed at 4:30 PM" (and subsequent references to the 'orangutan'). The video clearly depicts a dark brown chimpanzee, and not an orange orangutan. In fact, this is supposed to be a nod to the movie Bedtime for Bonzo, which was released in 1951 and starred Ronald Reagan. Wikipedia has an entry for that film that can be hyperlinked once this article is corrected.

I am asking any editor to make this correction. I'm not set up to do it. Thanks!! 5.25.82.214 (talk) 07:10, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi IP 5.25.82.214. What you're describing sounds like a "plot summary" for a video. So, much in the same way as Wikipedia would treat a plot summary of a film, TV show or a book, if you've seen the video and think the summary is incorrect, the you can correct the summary yourself; however, you shouldn't add any of your own interpretations about the video to the article such as whether the monkey is supposed to be a homage to "Bedtime for Bonzo" without citing a

Can someone help me expand an article on the

Seeing how it has burned a ton of acres, is near the Grand Canyon (a popular geographic destination in the US. It's very big, so in this case its burning near Grand Canyon National Park) in North Eastern Arizona, and is the biggest wildfire so far this year in the US by burned area I am aware of, I was suprised that upon looking it up on Wikipedia, there wasn't an article about it yet. Considering that, lots of people will probably search it up online and probably already have, in search of info on the fire, so I think it would be a good idea to expand it and provide more information. As this is for something ongoing and I am only one person, I'd appreciate if others would help keep it up to date as I am not able to do so all the time, until the fire is 100% containted. The article I created is at

Hello, Greshthegreat. I am pinging an editor known as Missvain, who has a lot of expertise with wildfire articles, and Wikipedia editing in general. By coincidence, she helped set up the Teahouse years ago, and is also a friend of mine. Maybe she can offer some advice. I helped expand 1978 Agoura-Malibu firestorm, but that was long after the fact. My advice is to find the current news articles that provide the most comprehensive overview of the fire, and cite and summarize those sources. Monitor the websites of the newspapers and TV stations of Flagstaff, Arizona and the other regional media markets. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 07:11, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I have been trying to get my first bio of a living person published for a few weeks now (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Mike_Greenhaus). I have been denied before but tried to follow instructions in order to improve it. I have spoken with an editor who denied it and they confirmed that there is no conflict of interest. I have also pinpointed 3-4 independent references that are listed as best references at the top and bottom of the bio I am working on. Is there anything else you could recommend, based on the bio, that would help me get approved? Happy to rework it as needed. Caryplace7 (talk) 17:12, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

The feedback and comments which you deleted have been reinstated. --David Biddulph (talk) 17:21, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

@Caryplace7: do have a look at this how-to guide – right now I think only one out of your 44 references is actually formatted so that the reader gets all the necessary information (that's citation no 40, Gershuny & Smith). A bare URL is not enough, nor is a bare URL with the name of the website. (Though to be blunt, the three "best references" unfortunately do not actually show notability, so it may be a waste of your time to spend too much effort on this draft.) --bonadea contributions talk 17:43, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your note and wiliness to look over this article. I am curious, what about the articles "do not show notability?" All three of them are independent sources focused specifically on the subject of my bio. The subject of his bio is the Editor-in-Chief of a national magazine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relix) and cited as a source in a variety of national publications. As mentioned in my talk page comment, another editor has verified that they are OK. Just trying to figure out how to improve. Caryplace7 (talk) 18:50, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

That's not exactly what the other editor says

is defined here: "People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." (Do follow the link, because several of the terms in that sentence have a specific meaning that you will be able to find out if you go there.) An interview is not a secondary source. An episode of a (non-notable) podcast in which the subject appears is not a secondary source. The Jerusalem Post article is a secondary source, and an independent one – it is arguable whether that article offers significant coverage since Greenhaus is not the main topic, but even if we accept that that source does meet all the criteria, notability requires multiple such sources. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk

19:43, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you once again to for your willingness to discuss this mater this me. An editor approved these three sources as proof of notability here (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:1292simon&oldid=959809163#Draft:_Mike_Greenhaus) In terms of notability, I followed the link and looked at it closely and I believe the subject of this bio does meet those requirements. I have cited over 40 independent sources that either cite him, interview him or are written about him, including Chicago Tribune, USA Today, Folio and the Jerusalem Post article you mentioned (which meets the "The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors" area of the link and the "If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability" section) Of the top 3-4 sources I cited, Under the Scales podcast focused specifically on this subject is a top rated music podcast. The Glide Magazine feature I cited is also a independent profile specifically on that subject (where I got much of the info for the bio). In addition, the fact that the subject of the bio is the Editor-in-Chief of a nationally recognized magazine (with its own approved wiki page) and the cocreater of the media group it is part of should hit these points ("The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.") Please let me know if there are certain areas I can rework from the bio to help move it along Caryplace7 (talk) 20:26, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

I see that the draft now helpfully lists "Here are the WP:THREE best sources regarding notability".

The first does not mention the subject. The second (numbered "2") is based on an interview with the subject, and so is not independent. The third is also based on an interview with the subject, and so is not independent. The fourth (numbered "3") does not mention the subject. Maproom (talk) 22:39, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your your willingness to look at these. All four links provided mention the subject and are specifically focused on the subject. They have also already been cleared as independent sources by a previous editor here: (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:1292simon&oldid=959809163#Draft:_Mike_Greenhaus) I also have over 35 additional sources cited in the bio that reference the subject I spent a lot of time working on it and want to improve it so that it is approved and I am willing to do what is needed by feel like I am going to circles by having sources approved and then rejected. Caryplace7 (talk) 00:36, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

"Independent" refers to several things, as you will have seen

primary sources, which means that they do not meet that part of "independent". I'm not sure why you would say that the Jerusalem Post piece is focused on Greenhouse? As already pointed out to you, you are likely to be wasting more of your time if you keep working on this draft – but if you are determined to go on editing it, please as a very minimum clean up the sources as described above. And remove the sources that just mention his name without saying anything about him, as well as the ones written by him. --bonadea contributions talk

12:29, 18 June 2020

Thank you for your reply. At times like this, I wish there was a more direct interface so it is easier to communicate. I am not sure if we are looking at different links, but that is not a Relix podcast; in fact, it has no association with Relix or Greenhaus. It just covers him and the magazine. If you read the bio I wrote and the Jerusalem Post piece, then you will see that the article is on an event he produces and talks about his involvement. They have also already been cleared as independent sources by a previous editor here: (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:1292simon&oldid=959809163#Draft:_Mike_Greenhaus)

As I mentioned before, NONE of the sources I included are written by the subject of this bio and all of them reference or quote him specifically. Would these be better sources: https://observer.com/2017/05/jam-bands-relix-live-music-conference/, https://www.jambase.com/article/gimme-shelter-in-place-incidental-animals-grateful-dead-bertha (the video interview included about how the subject of this bio formed the band profiled) or https://www.brooklynvegan.com/sinkane-talking-at-rockwood-playing-a-museum-touring-with-son-lux/

Caryplace7 (talk) 13:40, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

that is not a Relix podcast The casual visitor clicks on a link which has been pasted into the draft without any identification and gets to an anonymous podcast web page that says "RELIX" at the top. What are they supposed to believe it is? If you have any information about what the podcast actually is or why the content is relevant, you need to provide that in the reference – and note that we do not expect our readers to have to listen to a hour-long show to find a snippet of information. The reference has to be specific. They have also already been cleared as independent sources by a previous editor I think I'll stop replying now, since it doesn't seem like my replies are being read at all. --bonadea contributions talk 16:06, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

I appreciate your feedback and know this is a volunteer effort and that I have a lot of work to do on this bio. However, when you say, "The casual visitor clicks on a link which has been pasted into the draft without any identification and gets to an anonymous podcast web page that says "RELIX" at the top. What are they supposed to believe it is" That is the title of the episode not a brand designation.

Wow, thank you! How did you figure this out, if I may ask? Notrium (talk) 21:22, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Notrium, I expected it would be something not closed - that's usually the explanation when a portion of a page disappears. But it's looking even stranger: in this edit, Rjensen introduced an unpaired <ref> in the material they added. But for reasons I don't yet understand, the effect of this was to display <ref> rather than to swallow half the page; and it carried on doing so until your edit (which didn't touch that part of the page, but apparenty knocked it into doing what it was supposed to, given the unpaired tag). Looking like a bug to me. --ColinFine (talk) 21:33, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

OK, I see why your edit had that effect Notrium. Up until your edit, there wasn't a </ref> anywhere further down the page to pair with that odd <ref>, so it looks as if the software said "This isn't paired, so I'll assume it's not meant to be a tag". Your edit was the first one thereafter that did introduce a </ref>, so the sofware said "Oo, look, a pair of tags. Well, everything between them must be the ref". Don't know whether that's a bug or a feature. --ColinFine (talk) 21:45, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

WP:BLP carefully and make sure you comply. The minimum standards for inline citations comes from, among a few other things, the BLP policy (one of the other things would be direct quotes, if there's any in your draft). In essence, any claim that is extraordinary, whether positive or negative, or related to privacy, and so on need inline citations to high quality sources, immediately next to the claim, no matter how many times they get repeated in the article.

18:27, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Thanks very much UTBC, I have begun to check through the policy on living persons to see if there are any issues needing resolution. As it now stands, there are only three actual quotes in the text, all from secondary sources. Two appear to be from student or university publications, and one is from a conference document. (Regrettably one of the links is blacklisted, but so is a link to one of the Indian Academies of Science.) The quotes might be construed to contain an element of opinion, so to be sure they were not attributed to me, I deliberately quoted the sources directly. Perhaps you can say whether this was the appropriate course of action. Otherwise, most of the information is gleaned from the numerous biographical notes on the subject that can be found on websites of universities and the academies/institutions with which he is or has been affiliated. Should this approach be cause for concern?

That said, one thing puzzles me about the prohibition on external links. Why, when the link tool is pressed, does Wiki present the user with a choice between Wikipedia article and external link? Regards Mischievousgnome (talk) 21:51, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello Mischievousgnome. External links are not "prohibited" but their use is restricted. For example, external links do not belong in the body of an article, and external links should be in a dedicated section or infobox, and should be to websites or social media sites directly relevant to the topic of the article. For example, an article about a corporation can include a link to the corporate website. An article about a living person can include a link to their website or to their primary verified social media site. Loading up an article with peripheral or questionable external links or a lengthy portfolio of social media websites is considered promotional editing and is not permitted. Please read Wikipedia:External links for more details. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 03:44, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello Mischievousgnome – in addition to what Cullen328 says above, we also often use external links in non-article pages, such as here in the Teahouse, the Help Desk, the Reference desks, and the Talk pages of articles, where we are replying to queries with information not already found in an article, and/or are discussing possible sources for further information and citation to add to an article. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.203.10.153 (talk) 07:23, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi SahminKilly and welcome to the Teahouse - there is no other article you submitted, here is the log:

"08:56, 7 May 2020 SahminKilly created page Draft:Geoff Blackwell (created sandbox) (thank) 07:41, 4 May 2020 User account SahminKilly was created" ... Regarding your draft - you will need to insert citations correctly, just follow the links the Reviewer gave you in his comment, they explain exactly how to do so.

The only draft (or article) ever edited by SahminKilly is

Draft:Geoff Blackwell. (Nothing else has ever been deleted.) As for the draft on Blackwell, careful with such wording as "global figures and organisations": it sounds like puffery. You apply it to Nelson Mandela, and if the horribly overused notion of "global figure" is applicable anywhere it's applicable with Mandela -- but this is why it's unnecessary for Mandela. Or again, "renowned international photographers". Even if they are renowned (in the real world), the critical reader of WP will think: "If they are renowned, there's no need to say so; and if they aren't, saying they are is promotional." (And come on, however unjust this may be, several aren't really renowned. Though among those who don't have articles, Phillip Toledano certainly merits one.) -- Hoary (talk

is this the article you're looking for User:Prachi.chopade/sandbox?

You can see all of the articles you have edited at Special:Contributions/Prachi.chopade Pi (Talk to me!) 03:22, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

If you are ready to submit your article, you can add the template {{subst:submit}} to the top of the article, and it will then be reviewed prior to being published in the main article space of the encyclopedia Pi (Talk to me!) 03:26, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

But before you do that,

non-neutral| language. Most of the lead is written to praise him. For example, which independent, reliably published source has said that he is "the first qualified landscape architect in India", or that he is regarded as such? If there is one, then that needs to be a direct, attributed quotation; if there isn't, then it needs to be removed. An article should not make such a claim in Wikipedia's voice. Similarly, which independent, reliably published source has said that he "has a passion", or that he is "pioneering", or that a title has been "popularly conferred" on him, or that ISOLA was "almost entirely due to his endeavours"? --ColinFine (talk

Many of the sections have no references. Instead, all of the references are at the end of the article. The refs need to be at the ends of sentences in the text that are supported by those references. The Lead (top portion) is supposed to be a summary of the content of the article. What is there now is a lot of statements that are not extended and elaborated on within the text - with references. I agree with ColinFine that it is premature to submit this draft. David notMD (talk) 09:41, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

I'd say that if a source said anything like "the first qualified landscape architect in India", I would have to discount the reliability and independence of the source. In other words, the statement is so extraordinary and subjective that it should be removed, and probably anything else based on the same source. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 12:15, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi :) The YouTuber sidebar template, which I am using for the current article I am writing, automatically links to a YouTube channel when the field allocated to the channel name is populated. However in my case it malfunctions, as it displays the text "Kyle Hill" as "Hill Kyle Hill", and automatically links to a YouTube channel called "Kyle" rather than "Kyle Hill". Any idea how this could be fixed? NB: I've already been told several times what my draft's flaws are instead of answering the questions I had, and I've taken note of them and will make relevant edits as I go before resubmitting the article. Please just answer the specific question I've asked here, thanks ^^ Regards AengusB (talk) 22:52, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

By the looks of it, the subject's channel name is "ScienceBasedLife", so you'd use | channel_name = ScienceBasedLife. If you want it to display as "Kyle Hill" you can use | channel_display_name = Kyle Hill. --David Biddulph (talk) 05:17, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

I will add that referring to the documentation of that infobox template which is available at

Template:Infobox Youtube personality can help you make sure you use it correctly. Regards! Usedtobecool ☎️

Hi David Biddulph and Usedtobecool,

I did both of what ye said and in the end I found a solution: Inputting "ScienceBasedLife" did fix the issue of the right channel being linked, but then the infobox displayed it as "ScienceBasedLife". However, the template page did tell me that there is a dedicated field for displaying a different name than the one in the URL. People can now click on "Kyle Hill" and get redirected to the Kyle Hill channel. Thank you!

If you read again what I said in my reply, I did say that if you wanted it to display as "Kyle Hill" you could use | channel_display_name = Kyle Hill, which is what you've now done. --David Biddulph (talk) 12:42, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Hi, ok so i find it all very bewildering and not an easy place to navigate or to simply find an answer. Might just be me of course. I had my sandbox deleted with an article i was preparing and due to the current situation I left it alone hoping to get back to it. When I did, it was gone. I tried to copy back in the content to start up again but was wasked to contact a "user" Liz who deleted it. I cannot find anyway of askign that person to review their deletion and reinstall it. Help please, i cannot find any way of getting in touch with the person. Thanks

Engblu Hello and welcome to the Teahouse. Every user has a user talk page for communication with them, and it is usually linked to in their signature at the end of their posts.(for example, yours is linked to in your signature above). It is also linked to in places like page edit histories and many logs, including deletion logs like the one you copied the text from above. If you click the word "talk" in that message, it will take you to that user's user talk page where you can ask them directly about your question. 331dot (talk) 14:20, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

I'll also link to that user's talk page here: User talk:Liz. 331dot (talk) 14:21, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Steve. Your sandbox was apparently a redirect to a draft page,

Requests for undeletion to request the undeletion of that draft, and retrieving the redirect won't be helpful for you. Regards, --bonadea contributions talk

Your draft is far from being an article. The first thing you need to do is to read Wikipedia's definition of

WP:Your first article. --David Biddulph (talk

• Laurel Fork, Virginia

This article has a lot of problems, including unsourced material possibly indicating original research, but the biggest red flag is that the article does not have information about the community's population, leaving me to question if the information in the article is real or not. The first page on Google search for Laurel Fork, Virginia only shows websites showing the physical location of the community and tourism websites. Can somebody help find some reliable sources to make sure the statements in this article are actually true? 

If you look at the history you will see that the bulk of the unsourced text was added in this edit, where the edit summary includes something that looks as if it was intended to be a reference. --David Biddulph (talk) 15:36, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
