Oh, by the way, that other article you mentioned, Stratton (financial services), has a prominent notice at the top of the page saying, "This article contains content that is written like an advertisement."

Hello - The game "Throne of Lies: The online game of lies & deceit" is having a Kickstarter Jan 9, 2017 by indie company "Imperium42 Game Studio". There is an official game trailer, official website, a Wikia page with many pages and translations, etc. It's awkward because without a Wiki page, their official trailer says it's a completely different game (because YouTube gaming pulls their schemas from Wiki - if a Wiki article for the game doesn't exist, it links to the closest game and overrides any field you may have entered otherwise).

So, the question is: When is a game considered eligible to have a Wiki page? Dylanh724 (talk) 09:29, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

I just saved an update to the page at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Ligier and was wondering if it meets the criteria for removing the maintenance warning. Are the citations I've added enough?

Kumboloi (talk) 21:03, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Welcome to the Teahouse, Kumboloi. Your edits have certainly improved the Guy Ligier article (though the previous opening sentence was closer to the style that Wikipedia biographies tend to follow, describing what he is known for). However, there is still quite a lot of material in the article that is not sourced, so I think that template should stay for now. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:16, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. For my edification, what else is considered unsourced on that page? I'm trying to learn about what constitutes an acceptable ref.

Thanks kmb Kumboloi (talk) 22:38, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

All statements that aren't followed by a footnote reference, Kumboloi, such as the passages starting "With help from Pierre Coulon...", "When his rugby career ended he switched to racing...", "In 1965 he won the 24th Grand Prix de Albi Sports in a GT40 for Ford", etc. Cordless Larry (talk) 22:41, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello Everyone,

My Wikipedia name is Sherwood Noble Morsel Van Echlin, but call me Noble. I want to edit the Royal Rumble 2017 Wikipedia page. I simply want to edit the announced entrants, by highlighting the participants based on their brand. Therefore, Raw wrestlers would be red, and Smackdown would be blue.

IT CURRENTLY LOOKS LIKE THIS:

I simply want to MAKE it look like THIS:

My edit is very simple. Simply highlight the wrestlers name either red or blue based on their brand. RED for RAW and BLUE for SMACKDOWN LIVE! Simple enough? Hopefully so.

Mmeah16: your Wikipedia name is Mmeah16, not either of those other names you mention. You should sign your postings with it, by putting four tildes like this ~~~~ after everything else you write. As for your question – it is not clear to me what you are trying to do. Do you want to change the colour of the text in the table? This would not be a good idea, as red and blue text already have standard meanings in Wikipedia articles. But it is possible to change the background colours of text cells. Is that what you're looking for? Maproom (talk) 09:16, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

@Maproom: I think the question is about rowspan in tables and getting the second box to cover both rows as the desired content is the same. I would answer but formatting table code on a mobile device is a pain. Nthep (talk) 09:23, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Thanks

kc2290Kc2290 (talk) 10:57, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

@Kc2290: welcome. If you think none of the tags are applicable any more then you can remove them and the wrapper template they were held in. So you need to remove {{multiple issues}} from the article as well. Nthep (talk) 11:45, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

Kc2290, Nthep, that "flag" appears to be an edit-notice. It'll presumably disappear if or when the page protection is lifted. Kc2290, I don't think the problems with the page have been fixed, not by a long chalk. I've added some clean-up tags to highlight what seem to be the most obvious problems, and started a discussion on the talk-page about how to move forward. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:00, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

@Justlettersandnumbers: This was the revision when I replied to the original question which contained an empty {{multiple issues}} hence the error message which I assumed was what the question was about. The protection, unusually, has been applied since 2009 and as KC2290 is autoconfirmed wasn't a bar to their editing of the article. Nthep (talk) 17:18, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi,

Hi

reliable sources, and it's only natural that a little bit of embellishment/bias creeps in (even unintentionally) into a COI editor's edits. These things can be and are usually cleaned up by other editors unconnected to the subject, but you've got to try and remember that Wikipedia is not really interested in making the subject look good or bad; it's only interested is content which can be supported by and reflects what is found in reliable sources. You might also want to take a look at Wikipedia:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing

because there can be a downside to a Wikipedia article being written about you or someone you might know.

Finally, I've noticed you've uploaded a file to Wikimedia Commons. Unless you've taken this photo yourself and can provide proof of this when asked, you should be careful about claiming things as "own work". Copyright of a photo is generally held by the person who took the photo, and it's a good idea to assume that every photo you find online is copyrighted by someone unless it clearly states otherwise. Commons only accepts files which clearly in the public domain or clearly have been released under a free license compatible with Commons. So, unless you (or someone else) can provide verification that the file you uploaded is either of these two things, it is going to eventually be deleted. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:30, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Fidel Castro was never freely elected by the Cuban people, he was a dictator but Wikipedia calls him "President" why not call him what he really was. VICTORYIN08 (talk) 21:42, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello,

maintain a neutral point of view

, and, if we called him "Dictator", then that would be a violation of that policy.

Here's an example of why we shouldn't change his title to dictator:

Suppose terrorists against America said the same thing you're saying (switching "President" and "Dictator" around, of course). Would it then make sense to change what Wikipedia says to "Dictator" instead of "President"?

— Gestrid (talk) 21:56, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

The article Fidel Castro does mention that many called him a dictator. His title was President so of course that should also be in the article. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:09, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the quick reply. Calling Fidel Castro a dictator would not be a violation of the neutral point of view policy.

Here is the definition of dic·ta·tor noun 1. a ruler with total power over a country, typically one who has obtained power by force.

Did Fidel Castro obtain power by force. Check! Was Fidel Castro a ruler with total power over a country? Check!

By the way it wouldn't make sense to change what Wikipedia says about US presidents from "President" to "Dictator" because they are NOT dictators. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VICTORYIN08 (talk • contribs) 22:30, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

(e/c) Hi

verify the content in that paragraph. Of course contributions are very welcome, but adding content to a sourced paragraph, and not providing a separate source does create a bit of a problem. That is, the content you added is not verified through the existing reference, and is now situated as if it is. The way to fix this is to find a source that does verify the addiiton, and cite it alongside the other cite. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk

) 02:02, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

Hello, SchotTak. To follow on from what Fuhghettaboutit says - once you have identified the editor you want to talk to (TSRL), you can go to their User Talk page (User talk:TSRL). Once there you have two options: you can just leave a message there (which will be publically visible), or else look on the left hand side under "Tools" to see whether there is link to "Email this user" - it's optional so you won't see if for all editors, but TSRL has activated that option, so you could use it to send a conventional email. --Gronk Oz (talk) 06:43, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

how many sources do I need to make an edit? Even if an author has bias but uses an outside expert does that negate the outside experts credibility? If I feel credible sources are missing how do I ask as a new editor for citations or verification? Truthitmatters (talk) 05:06, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

@

neutral point of view obligates editors to summarize what the full range of sources say about a topic. As a simple example, if a source biased against something is included, then another source biased in favor can be added and summarized to give a balanced overview of the topic. This excludes fringe or extreme minority views. If you think that sources are missing from an article, then the best thing to do is find the sources yourself, add them to the article, and summarize them. Another option is to tag the article. Please read Template:Citation needed for an explanation of one method. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it

Hello, Anupam dasgupta. It may help if you understand that there is no such thing as a Wikipedia page for a company. There are only articles about companies, which is not quite the same thing. "A page for a company" is appropriate to advertising media, social media, or directories, not to Wikipedia. Articles about companies are neutral - they are neither "for" nor "against"; and they are based almost 100% on what people who have no connection with the company have published about it. Wikipedia has essentially no interest in what a company - or its employees, agents or associates - say or wish to say about it. --ColinFine (talk) 11:17, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
