Sources needed for Days of the Year pages

I see you recently accepted a pending change to [[May 20] that did not include a direct source.

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the content guideline and the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. Someone else has gone ahead and un-accepted this edit and backed it out.

All the pages in the Days of the Year project have had pending changes protection turned on to prevent vandalism and further addition of entries without direct sources. As a pending changes patroller, please do not accept additions to day of year pages where no direct source has been provided on that day of year page. The burden to provide sources for additions to these pages is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 20:19, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Toddst1: Thank you so much for letting me know! I will follow the referenced policy going forward. Apologies for causing additional work for other editors. S0091 (talk) 23:18, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No apologies necessary! It's a new change and a lot of folks don't know yet. Please keep up the good work! Toddst1 (talk) 23:50, 21 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Adding a new TV series

Hi,

I'd like to start my Wikipedia editing by adding a new TV series to Wikipedia. I've spent a bit of time reading the tutorials, but to be honest I need to read a lot more.

Would you be able to refer me to the more pertinent ones? Are there templates for TV series? I'm quite eager to make a contribution. Thanks in advance.

Benepasserine (talk) 20:20, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Benepasserine: Thanks for asking! The best I could find is WP:TV and related page WP:TV/TEMP. You might also want to pose your question to the Teahouse. I hope this helps! S0091 (talk) 23:20, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tina Brown revision in re VANITY FAIR.

What I wrote on 26 May wasn't a factual correction so much as copy-edit; as it existed (and as you reverted to), it makes little sense.

Previous (and reverted) version: Three stories appeared in Vanity Fair Harry Benson's cover shoot of Ronald and Nancy Reagan dancing in the White House; Helmut Newton's notorious portrait of accused murderer Claus von Bulow in his leathers with his mistress Andrea Reynolds with reporting by Dominick Dunne, and Brown's own cover story on Princess Diana in October 1985 titled The Mouse that Roared.

My edit: Three notable stories appeared in Vanity Fair which helped the magazine gain attention and circulation: Harry Benson's cover shoot of Ronald and Nancy Reagan dancing in the White House; Helmut Newton's notorious portrait of accused murderer Claus von Bulow in his leathers with his mistress Andrea Reynolds with reporting by Dominick Dunne, and Brown's own cover story on Princess Diana in October 1985 titled The Mouse that Roared.

Previous version more than suggests, actually states "Three stories appeared in VF", which is incorrect on every level, without suggestion that these were three key stories Brown was responsible for as editor and (in one case) also writer. (As it happens, without further explication that text was associated with the photos of the Reagans and von Bulow, those examples aren't properly "stories", but that is less inarguably wrong.) Also, the lack of punctuation in the sentence is at least jarring, where not simply incorrect.

Hence my making these changes without citing additional sources. TM

Hi TM. Please accept my sincere apology for reverting your change. You are absolutely correct, thus I have restored your edit and will strike out the notice I left on your talk page. Feel free to delete it entirely. Thank you for respectfully pointing out my error and your contributions to Wikipedia. S0091 (talk) 14:19, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

correction for prime minister's name

Hi Just need to correct that Theresa May has been written as current prime minister. It should be the new one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 171.51.235.169 (talk) 19:18, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure what you are referring to. The only edit from your current IP address is to this talk page. Can you elaborate? Thanks! S0091 (talk) 19:22, 9 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dear S0091,

you recently removed all of my revisions to the article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diet_in_Sikhism because they included a citation of a non-reliable source. I understand the concerns regarding the source, and am happy to remove any claims that relied on it. However, most of what I wrote used the Sikh scriptures as a source and some simply used general common knowledge of Sikh communities. Given that the article is about Sikh beliefs and lifestyles, I think the majority of what I wrote is more than acceptable. Furthermore, the original article was actually biased and although it included sources, it cited obscure opinions from entire books and did not give the page numbers. I was simply trying to give a balanced view to an egregiously dishonest piece. However, I'd be more than happy to revise it to remove the unreliable source and will proceed to do so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nnihal (talk • contribs) 01:09, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Nnihal: I agree your edits where in good faith and you meant no harm, thus I reverted them as such. Please understand that general knowledge to you is not general knowledge to the world. I cannot speak to the content that already exists (see WP:OSE) but yes, the best course of action is to add neutral content with reliable sources. Thank you for your message! S0091 (talk) 01:43, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response, and good point. I incorporated your previous feedback, as I think you may have seen :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nnihal (talk • contribs) 02:17, 10 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Moved comment to correct place

Who are you and why the heck are you removing reliable resources Hditzy937 (talk) 22:17, 22 June 2019 (UTC):[reply]

Hi @Hditzy937: actually many editors have reverted your edits because they are unsourced and/or not constructive. For the edit I did not accept at Sinitta you did not add any sources and provided no edit summary as to why your were changing existing information. Please take time to familiarize yourself with Wikipedia's policies before you continue editing; otherwise you will find yourself in the same situation, if not block entirely. I will leave a welcome message on your talk page with helpful information. Please read the material thoroughly. I also highly recommend the Wikipedia Adventure which is an interactive tutorial. Best of luck. S0091 (talk) 22:37, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you very much for making me feel better. I felt discouraged from editing articles, but now I am not discouraged from editing Wikipedia. You are amazing! 122.108.183.105 (talk) 21:49, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If vandalism is your focus, then I recommend reading identifying test edits which is an essay written by Oshwah who is administrator (and very nice so if have questions/concerns do not hesitate to drop them a note). While it is not policy, I found it quite helpful. Of course, WP:VD is the office policy. There is a lot to learn around this place! Also, the Teahouse is the "true" place for new editors to ask questions, where experienced editors are around to lend a hand. I still recommend registering an account because you get access to additional tools but that is obviously your choice. :) 22:29, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

i had added the content which was from a website that's why for reference i had given the external link. The content was unique. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shubham R. B. Tripathi (talk • contribs) 18:17, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Shubham R. B. Tripathi, the website appears to contain self-published articles with no editorial oversight (like blogs) so is not considered a reliable source. I placed the note on your talk page about external links because you placed the link directly in the article. I should have more clear so apologies for the confusion about my reasoning for reverting your edits. It appears from looking at your talk page, you may be struggling a bit with Wikipedia policies and what is considered appropriate. This is understandable as there is a lot to learn. I will place a welcome message with some helpful links to help get you started. Thank you for the note and best of luck. S0091 (talk) 18:36, 29 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Non-affiliated edits

Hi S0091,

I believe you made a mistake in finding my edits to be incorrect. I am a journalist from Chicago, IL and attended The University of Chicago. University of Chicago sent out a newsletter covering sale of the largest residential property in Oak Park and it was covered by most news outlets. I was hoping to start my Wikipedia editing career by adding The International Mansion to Wikipedia.

In the article it also spoke about Enrico Fermi and the Fermi surname's Jewish Origins as well as the Crawford jewish origins, in that a prominent Jewish Family purchased the Mansion.

I provided references for all.

Please let me know how to proceed to put the edits back up.

Best,

Lily — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lilywilliams1212 (talk • contribs) 05:28, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lilywilliams1212, welcome to Wikipedia! One of the issues I see are the references themselves have little to no encyclopedic value. One is the International Mansion website where they advertise their educational services, which is inherently promotional. The other, while a news article, focuses on the sale of the house not the history or architecture. Who owns the house now is not relevant unless they are notable per Wikipedia's notability guidelines (typically that means they would already have a Wikipedia article). One approach could be to just focus on the historic significance of the house, assuming you can find additional sources. I know you are new and not familiar with all policies and guidelines. It might be helpful to read what Wikipedia is not. I do appreciate you leaving me a message. Best of luck. S0091 (talk) 06:24, 30 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the feedback! I will work on a new approach. I appreciate your mentorship on this issue. Will certainly read the guidelines- Thank you for directing me to them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CDFD:9340:510F:4FC0:E5BE:8DE2 (talk) 05:28, 1 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Bvseevers: I made a copy edit to remove some of the left over content from the template. You can send it for review by clicking the button to submit it but I suggest reading WP:NJOURNALS first to ensure it meets the notability guidelines.

Response to your message on my hopeless first try at editing something simple

Dear S0091, Thank you for responding (as below) to my futile attempts to make a small edit. I just want to add my name (Ian Darnton-Hill) to list of Officers of the Order of Australia. I found the instructions really complex and would really appreciate some advice. Thanks and kind regards Ian


Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Category:Officers of the Order of Australia, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Barrett Wilbert Weed

Hello, I noticed you undid that edit on the Barrett article today. That's actually the second time someone has added that name, and I believe it's a vandalism thing. I looked up that name they enter as her "child" and it's someone who is a big fan of BWW and calls her her "mother". I'm too new to wikipedia to know how to handle that but I just thought I would mention it. Apathyash (talk) 22:03, 7 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Apathyash: Interesting. Thanks for sharing that information. I see they are an IP but their address changes and, like you said, they have only done it a couple times over the course of a week or so. If you watch the page, you can revert their edits yourself (undo button on the history page or you can install the WP:Twinkle gadget). Please refer to WP:VD on how to identify and handle vandalism. These type of edits do get flagged so other editors should catch it as well. If it continues to occur on any regular basis there are a some options, such as a Range block on the IP or requesting an admin to apply the appropriate Page Protection level (see WP:RFPP). You can also report the issue at WP:ANI if it continues to occur. The page is also on my watchlist so I will try to keep an eye on it as well and feel free to drop me note anytime. Thanks again!

Needing opinion

Dear @S0091: Because you are a user here that I can trust, I will humbly ask you to tell me your opinion about my first draft article, with I haven't finished yet. You are free to tell me your opinion, and tell me your ideas about it. I will post a similar thing to the talk page of Wikiproject Classical music, of wich I am member. I await your opinion, Enivak (talk) 13:59, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Enivak: I am hesitant to offer an opinion because I do not have any experience with creating articles and no expertise with the subject matter. I will say I do not see anything blatant other than maybe some additional sources. I did Google and found an article on JSTOR that might be helpful but of course I do not have an account so was not able to really determine if it had some robust content rather than just a mention. Wikipedia does have a WP:Library where you can can get access to JSTOR and/or other databases/sources. I believe they also have active librarians that can also help with finding sources. If you do not get a response from a member of the project, you can always try the WP:Teahouse. The hosts and other editors that help out there are very experienced will certainly review your article and offer advise. Good luck! S0091 (talk) 20:20, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Removing forums as a source

Greetings,

I appreciate the reasoning for rolling back a couple of recent edits I made, which cited forums. However, I wonder if these sources are reliable in this instance. For example, in support of a statement that there are third-party ROMs available for a smartphone, I cited the forum where those third-party ROMs are available. It is the fact that the forum exists, and not statements at the forum, that makes it a relevant source to cite, no? Jonomite99 (talk) 00:55, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Jonomite99:, please see WP:RS for what constitutes a reliable source. There has to be fact checking and editorial control over what is published. Forums, like blogs, generally do not meet that criteria. The fact they exist simply is not enough. S0091 (talk) 01:08, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much! I’m such a newbie. I apologize for not learning the ropes fast enough & putting the cart before the horse. I created an Imperial Spirits page on this account. I would like to delete the Imperial Spirits account where the page was originally setup. Ok to work from this account? Can the Imperial Valley Economic Development Corp. finish this up or add to it from their account? They wanted a Wikipedia page on the company & I was just trying to be proactive and set it up.

Hi @EdmundMas: As stated in the message I left you on your talk page, no company, organization, group, etc. is allowed to have a Wikipedia account and no individual that has any affiliation with a subject should create an article or edit an existing article about the subject matter. If those type of accounts exist, they can simply be abandoned. It might also be helpful to read WP:COMPORG as to why one might reconsider having a Wikipedia article.

Beginner's advice request

I want to create a page on a local artist, Dan Bustamente, and upload 3 photos. Two of these were taken by me of his public art. The third is of a sculpture and taken with his permission. Am I correct in thinking that copyright is not relevant? Or, should I declare them as my copyright?

Also, I can't find how to insert a contents box and 'bio box.' Thanks Der-of-three (talk) 17:16, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Der-of-three:. Welcome to Wikipedia! I suggest uploading them via the upload wizard to Wikimedia Commons (see WP:UPI for instructions). I think you are probably okay if you actually took the photos but be sure to read the material carefully on the page I referenced. Also, before you make the effort of creating an article and uploading photos please read Wikipedia's notability requirements, in addition to ARTIST which outlines specific requirements for creative people. Since you state this person is local, it makes me suspect they might not meet the requirements for a Wikipedia article about them. S0091 (talk) 20:58, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Beginner's advice request

Thanks S0091 for that. I think I'll hold back on this submission for the time being - on the grounds you mention. Bustamante's notability hardly extends beyond South Yorkshire, UK. After a successful exhibition or two, he may meet Wikipedia criteria in the form of media citations. --Der-of-three (talk) 11:12, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Regarding Paulie Malignaggi WIKI

Hello Soo91,


So I made some changes to Paulie Malignaggi WIKI. All the changes I have made, were changes from Paulie Malignaggi himself. He asked me personally to change and make edits to his WIKI. Please contact me back. You can also email me Fromchicago312@GMAIL.COM


Any edits that come from me, have been personally asked by Paulie himself to be corrected. Any questions please contact me back.

Hi @Fromchicago312:. If you have a relationship with Paulie Malignaggi you should not be editing the article as you have a conflict of interest so please discontinue. I will place a message on your page with additional information. In the meantime, since the information you are adding/changing is not backed up with a reliable source, I will revert your changes. S0091 (talk) 00:26, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Regarding Paulie Malignaggi WIKI

I edited Paulie page with Facts, there was no Opinion. A conflict of interest would happen if it was an opionion.

I edited his birth place, name, family history, where he was born, his name. Can you please leave that information?? That's all the information I really want fixed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fromchicago312 (talk • contribs) 00:43, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Fromchicago312: If you have reliable sources that back up your claims, you are welcome to make an edit request as per the instructions I left for you on you talk page. You have made edit requests before that were denied because you did not provide any sources.

Sammy Chapman's sons Campbell and Cavan playing for Wolves

Sammy Chapman's sons Campbell and Cavan playing for Wolves is referenced at the end of the article about his recent death:

I didn't think it was appropriate to reference the same article twice.

Hello! A reference can be cited multiple times so you can add it back and add the in-line citation for that reference. Thank you for reaching out! S0091 (talk) 17:16, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks @Ifnord:! Outside of a welcome message, you were the first registered editor to leave me a note. Thanks for everything! S0091 (talk) 02:09, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@S0091:You're welcome. Cleaning the walls of Wikipedia will rarely earn you any kudos or recognition, it is its own reward. But, it's nice to spread some thanks around to let people know you notice their hard work. Ifnord (talk) 13:30, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute about Far-right terrorism in Spain

Hello S0091. I'd be interested to hear your reaction to my comment at WP:AN3. Is there something more to the story? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 20:52, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I am just mad (joking). Like I said my reply at AN3 I honestly thought they were editing warring but I get your point about the issue. I do appreciate the note. S0091 (talk) 23:58, 28 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a rollbacker!

Hi S0091! I've been running into you in recent changes patrolling and I happened to notice that you don't have the rollback user rights. I hope you don't mind, but I went through your contributions and I noticed that you're quite active in recent changes patrolling, and you consistently view and undo vandalism and disruption to articles. I believe that rollback would be useful for you to have and that you'd make good use of the tools. Instead of having you formally request rollback at WP:PERM, I went ahead and just gave it to you. This user right allows you to quickly revert the edits of other users in cases of blatant vandalism.

Please keep these things in mind at all times when using rollback to revert edits:

  • Being granted rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle. It just adds a "[Rollback]" button next to a page's latest edits - that's all. It does not grant you any additional "status" on Wikipedia, nor does it change how Wikipedia policies apply to you (obviously).
  • Rollback should be used to revert clear and unambiguous cases of vandalism only, and never used to revert good faith edits.
  • Rollback should never be used to edit war, and it should never be used in a content-related dispute to restore the page to your preferred revision. If rollback is abused or used for this purpose, the rights will be revoked.
  • Use common sense. If you're not sure about something, ask.

For more information on the user rights and how to use rollback, see this tutorial page.

I'm sure you'll do fine with rollback - it's a pretty straight-forward user right and it doesn't drastically change the interface you're used to already. Nonetheless, please don't hesitate to leave me a message on my user talk page if you run into any questions, have any issues or troubles, or if you run into a revision or situation where you're not sure if using rollback is appropriate or not, and I'll be more than happy to help you. If you no longer want the rollback user rights, let me know and I'll be happy to remove it for you. Thank you for helping to locate, revert, and remove vandalism from Wikipedia - it's a very thankless job to perform and I want you to know that it doesn't go unnoticed and that I appreciate it very much. Happy editing! :-D ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:27, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for granting me the permission and the nice words @Oshwah:! I will share something you will understand. The edits I appreciate most while patrolling (other than the legit ones) are the little "hello"/"hi"s because they are truly saying hello to the world (i.e. "hello world") via Wikipedia whether they realize it or not. While I do revert them, I do not leave notices. Now back to the subject at hand, you have my promise I will use rollback responsibly. Thanks again! 22:05, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Special Barnstar
Congrats for your continuous promotions! I can see that you are a user that many trust. You also progressed in wikipedia so quickly, nearly no-one can do that! (I am struggling to get sources for my second draft and you are already an rollbacker!) If someone (or you) proposes you in RFA or higher, I will be from the first guys supporting you! (hey you are progressing too fast, leave something from me! (silly humor)) You really have future here! Eni vak (speak) 19:45, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the kind words @Enivak:. Ha! Actually, your future is brighter around here than mine. As you are finding, creating an article (or vastly improving an existing one), is the some of the hardest work around here. I simply clean up vandalism and other unconstructive type edits along with leaving welcome messages and the like. Also, please know getting additional permissions is not a "promotion", even for admins and Rollback is not much different than rollback feature you get with Twinkle to which any confirmed editor has access such as yourself. I do hope you find those sources. :) S0091 (talk) 15:09, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello 0091. Thank you for reaching out. I am new here, so I am studying the links you sent carefully. I would appreciate your guidance. Thank you.--Phenom2019 (talk) 09:37, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Phenom2019: Feel free to drop by anytime if you have questions, although you might get a quicker response from the Teahouse if I am not around. S0091 (talk) 15:15, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@S0091: Also thanks for your good words! The truth is that i started with articles too soon. The first was good, bu now i have 3 i must finish (the 2 are from a splitting...), so it can prove disastrous. Nevertheless, let's hope that both of us have a bright future here.

Relative number of laureates at Trinity

You objected to the statement on the Trinity College wiki page 'If Trinity were listed as a country, it would have the fifth highest number of Nobel Laureates', on the basis of it not having any basis in fact. What is the right place then, if fifth is not the right one? --Brian Josephson (talk) 19:53, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Brian Josephson: thank you for asking. The main issue is there is no source that can substantiate such statement. Trinity is not a country so it is pure conjecture that cannot verified. Another approach might be adding a statement with the actual number of Nobel Laureates, citing a reliable source of course as that would be verifiable. S0091 (talk) 20:06, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It would have required minimal effort on your part to do a search and locate such a source, e.g. https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/top-30-countries-with-nobel-prize-winners.html. I don't understand why you say the statement 'cannot be verified'. The article already includes the number associated with Trinity, and this can be compared with the numbers listed for each country on a site such as that which I cited, which simple exercise ('easy-peasy' is how they put it in certain places) confirms the addition to the article. --Brian Josephson (talk) 20:56, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think that is WP:SYNTH. S0091 (talk) 21:50, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It looks as if you now agree that the statement can be verified. I believe I have come across a statement comparing Trinity with other countries before but possibly it was in a speech rather than in writing so would not be available as a source. Then there is the question of how far it is reasonable to take WP:SYNTH. Is it for example reasonable in the light of this principle for the article to say 'Two members of the British royal family have studied at Trinity', etc. following this with a listing of the two, counting the two and getting two being in itself an act of synthesis, and similarly for the number of prime ministers?
While the comparison of Trinity with other countries in this respect is of some significance (more so than 'In 1848, Trinity hosted the meeting at which Cambridge undergraduates representing private schools such as Westminster drew up an early codification of the rules of football, known as the Cambridge Rules' which appears early on in the article, I don't think there's a compelling case for including it and I'll leave that to others. --Brian Josephson (talk) 08:41, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I see your user page states you are a professor. Do you happen to be a professor at Trinity or have any affiliation with them? If so, then you have conflict of interest and need to declare that. S0091 (talk) 20:13, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
How come there's a CoI, exactly, if the objective information concerned is correct? My interest here lies in ensuring the accuracy and completeness of w'pedia entries. Do you have a problem with that? My interest lies also in the fact that Trinity is my own college, and I have made many edits of that page in the past, on the basis of my familiarity with the relevant facts, that have improved the page. You are the first person to have complained, and I think there are a number that will strongly approve of my having challenged your incompetent revert. --Brian Josephson (talk) 20:56, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
However, I see from your message to my talk page that you were presuming that I was responsible for the original edit. Had that indeed been the case there would possibly have been a case for saying that there was a CoI. Just saying that the information that some unknown person had added should remain and that the argument for your revert does not hold water is a rather different matter.
In an ideal world I'd revert back and include the source but I'm a bit busy to do that this evening at least.--Brian Josephson (talk) 21:14, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Brian Josephson: I will not take any issue if you revert back and add a source that actually can substantiate the statement. Now on to a different topic outside of Wikipedia articles. Assuming you have a certain expertise/interest in Economics, a subject that is infinitely fascinating to me, any particular thoughts on Freakonomics (if you are familiar)? Granted that is mainly focused on behavioral econ, but I have wondered what people actually in the profession thought. S0091 (talk) 21:50, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
My expertise/interest in this subject is pretty marginal. Have you found a source that suggests otherwise?--Brian Josephson (talk) 08:41, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bio Article Submitted for Review

Hello S0091. I hope your day has been great. I'd like you to know that I have just submitted my first article, a bio (of a living person) for review. I have tried to follow the rules. I'd be happy to receive the needed help please. Thank you a lot.--Phenom2019 (talk) 13:00, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Phenom2019: I have not actually never written an article so take what I say with that lens. With that said, I think the issues you may run into are meeting Wikipedia's reliable source and notability standards. For example, Reputation Poll is a consultancy firm thus not independent and Alexreports is a blog which generally are not considered reliable. In order to substantiate notability, there needs to be significant coverage of the subject from several reliable sources not just passing mentions. I am not sure with sources provided that standard is met as she is the main subject in only one of them (except in the blog mentioned above but that is not reliable) and simply being a guest at events does not establish recognition. Also, I received a "Server Not Found" error when I tried to access the article from Leadership News but hopefully you can correct it as it might be helpful. I see you have submitted it for review so someone else will review it as well and provide feedback although that may take a couple months due to the large back log. In the meantime though, my suggestion reading the policies I linked above and finding additional reliable sources where she is the main (or a main) subject. I also wonder if The Miss Polo International Beauty Pageant might be a more suitable subject. See WP:ORG for notability guidelines for organizations. Best of luck!

The Einstein problem

If Albert Einstein were still alive, and he posted a correction to an article about his theory of relativity, his correction would not meet the Wikipedia guidelines excluding "original research."

Sometimes an individual is the best authority about his own work. This concept was satirized in the 1950s comedy film "Champagne for Caesar,"in which a contestant on a TV quiz show is told his answer about the theory of relativity is incorrect. After a pause, the studio phone rings with a call from Princeton University. It's Einstein himself (then still alive) calling to correct the quiz show's faulty research, and to vindicate the contestant.

To put a finer pontoon it, I have written several volumes about my career and some of my contemporaries in the motion-picture industry. For reasons of cost I had these volumes distributed on DVDs. There have been many books and articles that mention me and the topics I addressed. These have appeared in hard-copy print. Many of these were written by authors who didn't know the subject and were not even adults when the events I described occurred. These hard-copy works might seem more 'reliable' than the somewhat ephemeral information on a DVD.

One wealthy person in the film industry printed three hard copies of my first volume. It took two bound volumes to contain all the information and they weigh about forty pounds. There are only three copies in the world. How would Wikipedia like that my volume to be referenced? (That's a rhetorical question.)

Invitation to project revival

Recent changes to Mago and Cicero pages

Hi,

my name is Stan Idelsen and I put a contribution to both Mago and Cicero's pages in Wiki that where rejected. The reason was 'no references'. The issue is that: 1) both Mago and Cicero are names that have a meaning in Berber language. I just expressed these meanings to give one more hypothesis on the possible origines (actually obvious to berberophone people). 2) The argument 'no references' is not a defensible reason since if someone has the necessary funds to diffuse misconceptions then he/she can produce 'references'.... This is not very logic in my sens. A lobby can change reality by just pushing fake information. It was just an attempt to bring 2 constructive proposals. I work on the Amazigh pharmacopea since more than 20 years and I know perfectly that Mago could not be anything else than an Amazigh speaker to be able to collect the information of the Amazigh peasants.... Also, Quiquero is an Amazigh word for lentils that where introduced in Europe by Amazigh people as many other crops at the time. If the lobbies behind the official 'truth' cannot bear it, then let's wait until another lobby can overthrow it in the future... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.104.205.128 (talk) 23:16, 17 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Stan Idelsen, thank you for your message here. While I sympathize with your position, verifiability is a core Wikipedia policy. Therefore, content added must cite reliable sources. There is not a way to get around that requirement even if there are political or other circumstances that makes it difficult. Someone's knowledge is considered original research even if they are the subject or an expert. Again, I appreciate your situation but Wikipedia's has policies that must be adhered.

Official language of Dibrugarh

Hello, You have recently reverted edits by an unsigned user and replaced Assamese with Urdu in the official language section in the Infobox template, which I guess probably by mistake.

My addition to the M.U.G.E.N page was purely made as a note stating something I had noticed and wanted to share.

Did i did it well?

Hello S0091, Today, an IP made an rather harsh comment on my talk page (diff), and i replied to him here User_talk:31.13.16.106. As you are an user i trust, Did i handled it well? It's just trivia but as i am an new user i would like your opinion. Best regards, Eni vak (speak) 10:28, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Enivak:, after things calmed down a bit, I see you engaged in constructive conversation with the editor which is the best outcome. To be honest, if someone called me a dumb bot I am not sure I would have responded at all. S0091 (talk) 14:18, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
