== How to assess an unassessed Article ==
I have come across an unassessed article on [[Frequency standard]] and would like to help organize Wikipedia by assessing the article.
How do I assess an article? [[User:ScientistBuilder|ScientistBuilder]] ([[User talk:ScientistBuilder|talk]]) 21:28, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

== Query about major revision required to page [[List_of_RISC_OS_bundled_applications]] ==
This page's content is more than ten years old. In that time new distributions of the OS have appeared with significant applications and games bundled. I have started constructing replacement tables in my sandbox, but want to be reassured that I can simply replace almost all the existing content with the newly formatted, but up to date, lists. Would an editor want to check my new material? If so, how? Bernardboase 23:55, 13 February 2022 (UTC) <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Bernardboase|Bernardboase]] ([[User talk:Bernardboase#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Bernardboase|contribs]]) </span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
:I think [[WP:FIXIT]] applies. You've found a problem, you're doing the work to fix it... go for it! If someone wants to argue with you, they're free to do so, once you've done the work. If you feel like being more cautious, you could propose what you're going to do on [[Talk:List_of_RISC_OS_bundled_applications|the article's talk page]], suggesting a date a week or so out, on which you propose to make the change if nobody disagrees; that gives anyone who has the page in their watch-list plenty of time to chime in. Alternatively, you could preserve highlights of the old content in a "historical" section, or by creating a table which indicates when each piece of software was bundled, and when bundling was discontinued. That sounds interesting, but like a lot of work. [[User:Bwoodcock|Bill Woodcock]] ([[User talk:Bwoodcock|talk]]) 14:38, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
::Thanks Bill. All good advice. In fact the page content is so old and unmaintained that I'm pretty sure no one is watching it, and I am thinking that the "historical" aspects are not that important in this case due to their irrelevance today. The new data has already been collected for the RISC OS magazine ''Archive'' (a possible Reference) so reformatting it into Wikipedia tables is the only additional work. I will use its Talk page to point to my sandbox for comment. Bernardboase 17:46, 14 February 2022 (UTC)<p>
::On reflection, the likely chief objection to my proposed revamp of the page is that, by including two paid-for distros in my comparison tables, it may look like advertising even though the intention is only to show what functionality is covered by the distros. Is there guidance on this aspect? Bernardboase 16:39, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
:::There are plenty of lists of things that include both commercial and noncommercial items. [[Public_recursive_name_server|Here's one I care about]], for instance... the criterion for inclusion there (since there are thousands of smaller ones that only a handful of people each care about) wound up being "is it notable enough to warrant a wikipedia article of its own?" Probably not the criterion you'd use, but I think you'll find that people don't see something being commercial as a reason why it shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. As long as you disclose any conflicts-of-interest you may have, and don't give undue or unbalanced attention to any one of a set of things, you should be fine. [[User:Bwoodcock|Bill Woodcock]] ([[User talk:Bwoodcock|talk]]) 14:38, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
::::Lists like this are notoriously hard to be kept up to date, {{u|Bernardboase}}. Do we ''really'' need it at all? [[Special:Contributions/73.127.147.187|73.127.147.187]] ([[User talk:73.127.147.187|talk]]) 11:16, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
Thanks, again. You make a good point about such a page being hard to keep up to date, so I am now looking at an alternative location: a Mediawiki powered site that is specifically for RISC OS information at [https://www.riscos.info/index.php/RISC_OS riscos.info]. Its readers are much more likely to care about it enough to help with update! And its content won't be seen as advertising. I can put a reference link to it into the Wikipedia pages. Unless you want to add anything here, I'm very satisfied with this exchange and thank you for all your advice. Bernardboase 15:54, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

:Hi, Welcome to Wikipedia, @[[User:Sjanapgs|Sjanapgs]], the only way that you are able to speed up the process in Articles for Creation is that you add WikiProject tags, what you do to add them is when you look at the draft, the yellow box will have a list of information on creating an article. You expand the section saying improving the odds of a speedy review and press the button of add WikiProject tags. When you go to the page for adding the tags, you type the general categories that the page falls under and then click add tags. This method will not always work, however it can speed up the review as reviewers may review the page over another one if it falls under something of interest to them.

{{ec}} {{u|Sjanapgs}}, Hello and welcome to the Teahouse, please could you tell us what article that is? Secondly it appears you are barely 4 days old, that is a little too soon to decide to create articles. Penultimately you seem to be in a hurry what seems to be the problem? Is it something we can help you out with? If not, then please note that we have no deadline here, except for un-submitted Draft articles which haven’t been edited in 6 months. To the crux of your question, what I want you to understand is drafts that are submitted are thrown into a pool as opposed to a queue so basically Patience is the most imperative factor at the moment, whilst there are ways to hasten the process, it is my opinion that those are more theoretical than practical. You have fulfilled your obligations by submitting, it is then behoove of editors with the AFC pseudo perm to fulfill theirs but please have patience.

{{Ping |Sjanapgs}} Okay. You technically can move the page (assuming 4 days/10 edits).

:{{Ping |Sjanapgs}} Draft declined with many comments about what is wrong. Fix all that. Yes, technically you can convert a draft to a mainspace article without going through AfC, but if it still has fatal flaws, then the New Pages Patrol may revert it to draft, propose a Speedy Delete, or start an Articles for Deletion.

:{{re|ScientistBuilder}} As far as I am aware, only '''creating''' new articles with the content translation tool is restricted to EC users.

:: My first serious efforts for WP were translation from German, and I'm sure that was before I had 500 edits. The important thing is that you acknowledge the translated material as described at [[Help:Translation]], and follow the guidelines there. It is super-important that the translation is of a good quality. Machine translations are often really dubious. The problem is that they deal with all the obvious stuff very well, which lures the user into a false sense of security: they break down on technical stuff, subtleties and ambiguous situations. If you want to use a machine translation, you will need either a combination of technical knowledge and willingness to go back to the sources, or a good knowledge of German yourself (sufficient to translate without the machine) in order to make sure the machine translation is accurate. But good luck, and happy editing! Translation is a very useful activity. [[User:Elemimele|Elemimele]] ([[User talk:Elemimele|talk]]) 18:15, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

== Proving musical notability ==
Hi all,
I am trying to set a separate page up for a member of a band that has its own wikipedia page. By all accounts I did not originally fulfil the musical notability criteria. As a novice, I suspect that part of the problem was that I copy and pasted much of the original wikipedia entry, not through malice, more through naivety. I have since rewritten (read:hacked) and submitted the article, with new hyperlinks to Irish national newspapers.
The url is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Enda_Mulloy
I now note that I get a warning saying that my submission redirects to the band. Can anyone help? Each day, I discover that I am less intelligent that I thought.
Many thanks in advance of a reply. [[Special:Contributions/94.118.100.188|94.118.100.188]] ([[User talk:94.118.100.188|talk]]) 10:50, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
:You see that warning because [[Enda Mulloy]] is a redirect to [[The BibleCode Sundays]] (you can see it [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Enda_Mulloy&redirect=no here]). You do not need to do anything about that because your draft reviewer will override the redirect during article publication. However, I looked at your draft and I think it is not ready yet for publication/review. It might pass, but I think chances are still less than 50/50, I would recommend adding more in-depth reliable [[WP:INDEPENDENT|independent]] sources.

:: It is essential that you address the concerns mentioned in the first review.

::: Thanks, Michael and Anton. I appreciate the responses. The current draft is indeed smaller than the original. I originally thought that the first draft was refused because the new article borrowed (verbatum) too much from his band's wikipedia entry. I did try to ensure that everything in the second draft is verifiable, to that end, it is sourced from newspaper websites that I referenced/hyperlinked to. When, for example, I say that he has two boys, that is mentioned in a hyperlink printed further up the page. Other parts of the biography, such as mention of his father's band link to a separate wikipedia entry. If a newspaper website article mentions 5 facts that I repeat throughout the article, do I need to reference the website each time? I have no problem with doing that, I just thought it may look suspicious if I had loads of hyperlinks to the same newspaper article. Off the top of my head, the only "fact" that I have not provided a hyperlink to is the fact that he is a full time teacher, I will edit the entry to link to the institute's website.

== Is looking for sources to add to un-/under-sourced articles confirmation bias? ==
If I come across an article that is lacking sources and I go and try to find sources that support the existing claims, would that be confirmation bias? The claims aren't necessarily my own, but it kinda feels a little wrong for me to intentionally search for evidence for specific claims, any claims, and just use those sources to support the claim. I suppose in looking for sources if I come across opposing sources, I could add (and source) the opposing evidence as well, or just not add a source to the original claim, but I'm not sure what would be the best thing to do.

: {{re|Rourensu}} you ask a good question showing good intuition of what some of the subtler issues around [[WP:V|verifying content]] may be, and there is one thing that could apply here, and it involves the policy called {{nowrap|"[[WP:DUE WEIGHT]]"}}. To some extent, it depends on how you search, and especially on whether this is a fairly minor point of fact that will only be covered in a limited number of sources, or whether it's something major, with hundreds of published sources about it. If the latter is the case, the policy of [[WP:DUE WEIGHT]] comes more into play, and confirmation bias could be an issue. One example I recall regarding issues of confirmation bias in sourcing was about whether the American Revolution was one of the major causes of the French Revolution (spoiler: it wasn't). But because the French Revolution has had thousands of volumes published about it, it's not too hard to find a bunch of sources that go against the grain of the majority of sources about the Revolution, and if you search for and pick just those sources and cite them, it would give a skewed vision to the article that goes against [[WP:NPOV]], one of Wikipedia's core policies. Usually the way this happens, is by a well-intentioned, but [[WP:CHERRYPICKING|poorly-worded query]]: that is, if you search for the thing you are trying to prove, then it's much more likley you will find it, even if it is only 2% of the prevailing opinion of reliable sources, and not find the 98% of sources that say the opposite.
: The principle of [[WP:DUE|DUE WEIGHT]] says that we must "{{xt| fairly represent all significant viewpoints that have been published by [[Wikipedia:Verifiability#What counts as a reliable source|reliable sources]], in proportion to the prominence of each viewpoint in the published, reliable sources}}", and that "{{xt|the views of tiny minorities should not be included at all}}". As long as you are careful with your queries, and don't word them in a way that is likely to turn up results in a biased way that tend to support the assertion your are seeking to cite, you should be fine. I hope this helps you with your question about confirmation bias. [[User:Mathglot|Mathglot]] ([[User talk:Mathglot|talk]]) 19:50, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

== Broodiness: abnormal/normal behavior in hens? ==
This question relates to the article "List of abnormal behaviors in animals" link: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_abnormal_behaviours_in_animals]]
In this article, we are given a list of abnormal behaviors in animals, and on this list, we see the behavior "Broodiness". The article states that broodiness is "(...) considered abnormal in modern commercial egg-laying hens". The reference to this is the article "The Effect of Certain Groups of Environmental Factors upon the Expression of Broodiness" by William H. Burrows and Theodore C. Byerly (note that the article is from 1937!). I am not able to find any evidence in this scientific article that states that broodiness in modern commercial egg-laying hens (or in any other hens or chickens) is considered abnormal behavior. Is there any reliable reference that actually does investigate broodiness as an abnormal behavior? How can Wikipedia claim that broodiness is an abnormal behavior when there is no scientific evidence on this?

I've done so, and noted why in the talk-page. We'll see if anyone reverts. I also feel that the list is supposed to be of abnormal, not undesirable behaviours. It'd probably be possible to find sources saying that broodiness is normal natural behaviour in hens, just as a tendency for tigers to eat zoo-keepers is unfortunately natural to tigers.

== what to do about AfD Fait accompli ==
Hi, this relates to [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Lists_of_space_travelers]]. This AfD was opened by {{u|Tamingimpala}} at 8.15 this morning, as a recommended redirect. For the sake of honesty, I have a personal bias in that I think the redirect is daft, and have said so, but the consensus today has been against me, and the last person to post something was apparently the article's creator, who's voted redirect. Based on this, Tame/Tamingimpala has closed their own AfD at 20:34 on the day it was opened, with the result "Redirect".
I'm not going to argue the toss about the result, but I think the way this has happened is outrageous. AfD's are supposed to run for 7 days, not 12 hours, and closure as a result that's effectively "Delete" by the proposer just seems wrong to me.
I have asked, very strongly, that the closer re-open (on their talk page), but since the list has already been deleted, I'm not sure if this is too late? Or whether anything else should be done to ensure the material isn't gone for ever before it's properly debated. My worry is that others who've worked on lists of astronauts or have an opinion may not have logged on in the last 12 hours, in which case they'll find the entire thing has gone from initial proposal to final deletion between the time they had their evening meal, and finishing breakfast the following morning. I don't want to bludgeon a view that others don't have, and I'm not normally a stickler for procedural things, but this is just not right. [[User:Elemimele|Elemimele]] ([[User talk:Elemimele|talk]]) 21:38, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
:: Update '''ignore the above''', {{u|Tamingimpala}} has reopened the debate, and in any case, I've been hoodwinked by a very weird browser issue; on the PC/Browser I was using, it actually opened the wrong article when I clicked on the link in the AfD. This is totally weird, and I'm trying to find out why. [[User:Elemimele|Elemimele]] ([[User talk:Elemimele|talk]]) 22:02, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
::{{ul|Elemimele}} FWIW, you're absolutely right that a nominator is not supposed to close their own nom at AfD unless it's a withdrawal/speedy keep situation, which this obviously wasn't. I note that this user appears to have done this a couple times now.

::: I apologise for causing confusion. I have no idea why I landed up at the wrong list. It meant I got all hot under the collar about the deletion of a list that wasn't being proposed for deletion. It's been one of those days. [[User:Elemimele|Elemimele]] ([[User talk:Elemimele|talk]]) 22:15, 15 February 2022 (UTC) Oh, and in fairness to {{u|Tamingimpala}}, the correct article was actually written by one person, so once they'd agreed it was inappropriate, I think it would have been okay for the original creator to tag it for speedy deletion as their own unwanted work, with no significant contribution from others, so I guess Tamingimpala was only jumping a very small gun! I was looking at the wrong article. Big oops! Apologies all round. [[User:Elemimele|Elemimele]] ([[User talk:Elemimele|talk]]) 22:27, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

:::: {{u|JosephTonio}}, the only thing I'd add is that AfC reviewers are both fair and human. If, having read [[WP:PERSON]] you feel that you misunderstood what was expected, and can now do a better job: if you are absolutely certain you can find several sources that have written about the subject in reasonable depth (not passing references in articles about something else), sources that are independent of the subject (not press-releases from events in which he's taken part, interviews with him etc.), and which are reliable sources (not blogs by people whose reliability we do not know), by all means engage the AfC reviewer in conversation. Post three really good references on their talk-page and they'll almost certainly be open to reconsidering. But if you can't find a couple of really good sources, there is genuinely no hope, no matter how many poorer sources are available. Lots of the best people in the world don't have WP articles!

::Also, [[User:ScientistBuilder|ScientistBuilder]], your FA-directed edits can be strange. An edit of yours to the SI article changed an item from something of which I have a slight (if insufficient) understanding -- that "the relative uncertainty of the [[Boltzmann constant]]" must be "better than one part in {{val|e=-6}}" -- to: "The definition of the [[Kelvin]] measured with a relative uncertainty of the [[Boltzmann constant]] derived from two fundamentally different methods such as acoustic gas [[thermometry]] and dielectric constant gas thermometry be better than one part in {{val|e=-6}} and that these values be corroborated by other measurements." As I try to parse this, I infer that it's ''the definition'' that must be "better than one part in {{val|e=-6}}". Is this really so? It's hard for me to grasp, and very puzzling. However, I realize that my understanding of physics never surpassed secondary school level and since then has suffered long and serious attrition, and so I refrain from editing this kind of article (other than to correct obvious vandalism and the like).

== Photo Permissions for Donella Meadows photo ==
Hi I'm working on the Donella Meadows page. It's talk page requests the addition of photos and I've found an official website with photos that asks for people to write to an email address for permission to use them so it seems like they'd be open to use. But I'm not seeing this case covered exactly in guidance. How would you suggest I handle approaching them to ask for Wikipedia to have permission to use? Not sure how to email them (i.e. do I use a personal email) and what procedure I should ask them to follow if they are willing.

== Improving the new article I created ==
This is in reference to [[Draft:MicroPublication Biology]]. This is the article I created and had submitted for review. It is now rejected with the following comments-
This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
My article is about an academic journal. I would like to point to several other existing Wikipedia articles about academic journals with similar references-
1) Journals established in 2016 like the one in my article- [[International Journal of Persian Literature]], [[Open Agriculture]], [[JAMA Cardiology]]
2) More recently added articles about academic journals- [[Journal of Controversial Ideas]], [[Matter (journal)]], [[The CRISPR Journal]], [[Annual Review of Criminology]], [[Futures & Foresight Science]] etc.

:Hello, {{u|FluffyPinkDude}}. This is about [[Draft:MicroPublication Biology]]. Your draft has not been rejected. Instead, it has been declined. That is an important distinction. Wikipedia has over 6.4 million articles, and frankly, many of them are of poor quality. An argument that consists of "I found other old poorly referenced articles on Wikipedia, so I should allowed to create a new poorly referenced article" is not an argument likely to gain much traction. You need to provide references to reliable published sources that are ''entirely independent'' of this journal, that devote significant coverage to the journal. Do any of your current references meet that standard? [[User:Cullen328|Cullen328]] ([[User talk:Cullen328|talk]]) 04:30, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

== Probematic removal of parties in [[List of political parties in Hong Kong]] ==
I came across this page the other day and found out that the page has included only parties that are present in the LegCo (which all are pro-Beijing) and excluded parties that are only in the District Council (which are the minor pro-Beijing parties and the various pro-democracy parties). This contradicts the subheading (Parties and groups in the Legislative and District Councils) which implies both should be included.
Checking the history it seems that it was removed in [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=List_of_political_parties_in_Hong_Kong&direction=next&oldid=1055202148], then restored later in [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=List_of_political_parties_in_Hong_Kong&oldid=1060078300], but then removed again in [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=List_of_political_parties_in_Hong_Kong&oldid=1061817687] disguised as a table formatting cleanup. It seems that all these people were only focussed on modifying the table, yet did not even bothered to change the date in the paragraph before, which is nearly 5 years ago.

:Welcome to the Teahouse, {{u|Tav Chlordane}}. For general guidance on this, please see [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources]]. The best type of source would be secondary, so anything reporting on Alememari's achievements that is a reliable source (i.e. has a reputation for fact checking). This could be newspapers, television reports, and in the longer term, books. YouTube content would only be appropriate if it's been produced by an organisation with a reputation for reliability, such as a television company. Instagram posts would likely be primary sources and not appropriate here. [[User:Cordless Larry|Cordless Larry]] ([[User talk:Cordless Larry|talk]]) 08:09, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

== How to demonstrate the WP:THREE best sources which demonstrate notability ==
Hi all, and thank you for the editor feedback :{{Ping|Liance}}, it was actually a lot easier to understand and interpret than I had anticipated (as a Wikipedia editing newb).
In reference to [[Draft:Paywith.glass|Paywith.glass]], just to make sure that I have indeed understood this correctly, the challenge with our sources is that they only mention the subject and are not directly written about the subject, somewhat like the subject is just a supporting cast member and not the start.
You may note that for many of the cited articles<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/press-releases/2022-02-09/-a-new-era-for-money-green-paper-outlines-a-digital-future-for-the-pound|title=‘A New Era for Money’: Green Paper Outlines a Digital Future for the Pound|website=Bloomberg|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thebanker.com/Editor-s-Blog/UK-private-sector-consortium-enters-the-CBDC-game|title=UK private sector consortium enters the CBDC game|website=The Banker|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cityam.com/payments-industry-group-launches-uk-cbdc-pilot|title=CBDC pilot: Payments industry group to launch trial for UK digital currency|website=City A.M.|language=en-US}}</ref>, the terms used are 'led by' in references to the subject. Additionally, the subject matter in this draft is the financial services infrastructure/technology which is critical for the leading subjects that are mentioned in the cited public sources to be cited themselves or for the cited articles to even exist in the first place.
Unfortunately, in the banking industry, it's not the tech infrastructure that is usually perceived as the star of the show (it's either considered boring or too complicated) but the organizations that rely on it instead. Until someone does a direct editorial on the specific technology infrastructure used in the initiative that will be officially launched in April 2022, I am uncertain of how to cite sources which more clearly illustrate that the infrastructure itself is critical to the mentioned citations even being there in the first place.
I would like a bit of guidance or some recommendations on what to look for specifically in the cited materials in order to meet the criteria pointed out in the feedback.

:hi :{{Ping|Maproom}}, thank you for the feedback. This is good to know. So it is essentially digital currency infrastructure that let's nation states issue, manage and distribute their CBDCs on one side with automatic cross-border interoperability, then on the other side, it allows banks, fintechs, mobile money operators, e-Commerce service providers and aggregators support the acceptance and use of these CBDCs for their customers (business and consumer) for regular financial transactions. So it is similar to China's [[DC/EP]] infrastructure for the [[Digital renminbi]] except it's not limited to one country's CBDC. So if it's not clear for you, it will also not be clear to others. So my question to you if you don't mind is, how can we better communicate this in the draft?[[User:Hatter.glass|Hatter.glass]] ([[User talk:Hatter.glass|talk]]) 12:34, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
::Hi {{Ping|Hatter.glass}}, I've now had time to look at the three sources you list above. I don't think any of them helps to establish that the subject is notable: the first seems to be a press release, Bloomberg doesn't format their own content like that; the second has just a brief mention of the subject; and the third reports what Jhanji has said, and so is not independent (it also describes it as a pilot scheme, and expresses the view that the scheme will never be realised). As for making the draft more comprehensible: you need to start at the beginning, and explain whether the thing is hardware, software, a protocol, or just pie-in-the-sky.

== Nora Napaltjari Nelson ==
I am wondering about what to do about this Yuendemu artist's incorrectly spelled name on wiki. The name on wiki is currently Norah Napaljari Nelson. The Darwin Supreme Court, where one of her paintings has been translated into a mosaic floor, lists her name as Nora Napaltjari Nelson, which would seem like an authoritative source, but I have made errors in editing before and I am anxious to not make more.
I also know that she passed away sometime in the last 3-6 years, because I know people who knew her, but I can find no online reference or record. I only have a printed brochure from the recent 30th anniversary of the opening of the Supreme Court that implies her passing, and I have not found that online anywhere.
Advice most welcome. [[User:Teepeemee|Teepeemee]] ([[User talk:Teepeemee|talk]]) 08:28, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
:The Wikipedia (not just wiki) article on [[Norah Nelson Napaljarri]] explains that 'Napaljarri' is Warlpiri, and 'Napaltjarri' is the Western Desert dialect. That seems clear enough.

== Criteria for Quote Attribution ==
So I'm new here, and I started on a somewhat controversial talk page [[Talk:American_exceptionalism#Moral_Basis_of_Idea_is_Ignored]] which may have been a mistake, but review it and see what's going on. My question is, I brought up the lack of an important quote purportedly wrongfully attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville. It turns out the first mention of the quote is in a 1922 letter written to a magazine in which someone details a church service where the pastor made this quote: "I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers—and it was not there. . . . . in her fertile fields and boundless forests—and it was not there. . . . .in her rich mines and her vast world commerce—and it was not there. . . . in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution—and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great." The pastor in 1922 attributed the quote to de Tocqueville. However, this quote doesn't appear in any of his writings. Does a quote have to appear in writing in order to be "attributed" to the person? Or is this secondary source enough? He could have said it in a famous (at the time) speech not recorded anywhere in surviving texts. (Pure conjecture) I'm new to this, so please tell me the standards for attribution, thanks! [[User:Lincoln1809|Lincoln1809]] ([[User talk:Lincoln1809|talk]]) 17:58, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
: Hi {{u|Lincoln1809}}! For stuff like this, we try to go with what the experts believe, since anything more than that is [[WP:OR|original research]], which is not allowed. So the way to frame your question is, what do the most respected de Tocqueville experts believe about the veracity of this quote? If they think he said it, we can include it verbatim (assuming it's relevant enough to the article). If they think maybe, we could say "some scholars believe...". If it's too disputed, leave it out and perhaps save it for Wikiquote, where the dispute can be noted. You can open a discussion at [[Talk:Alexis de Tocqueville]] if the answer isn't clear.

== Friendly Help ==
Hello, I Wanted to bring this up. I am have an article about me at [[Mario Cerrito]]. It was put up for deletion on February 3rd and was put into the "keep" status. After 5 days it was reopened and again put up for deletion discussion. I left a note on the nominators wall to no avail that read like this. '''Hello, this is Mario Cerrito. I am a little upset about what just happened. As a working artist and businessman your name means a lot. I am currently casting for a new movie and was just informed this morning by an actors agent after he "googled me" that my wikipedia is facing deletion. He asked me why. As embarrassing as it was when he asked me, I didn't know how to respond. What is irritating me the worst is after researching the history on the article it was JUST nominated for deletion and passed as "keep." As much as I don't know about wikipedia I started doing some research/reading and found under (Wikipedia: Renominating for Deletion) it states : If the XfD discussion was closed as “keep”, generally do not renominate the page for at least six months, unless there is something new to say, and even so, usually wait a few months. After checking it has literally been a matter of 5 days and a page about me has the deletion tag again and it is not right. I can read above that Tamzin seems to have the problem and upon looking at the just passed deletion discussion she forgot to mention it looks to be 5 Keep votes including Alanshohn, Eddy, Roman Spinner, Lamona and Saisykat. I see that a few were crossed out for whatever reasons but I am going off of what I am reading. You have to understand that as a working artist and individual something like a deletion tag on the first website that pops up when people "google you" is very demeaning. I am in the process of casting a film and people do research of who they are working with. To point out something else under (Wikipedia : Renominating for deletion) it also states "If you wish to renominate the page, hoping to achieve a different outcome, then slow down.

Unfortunately, this due process is necessary to maintain quality of Wikipedia content and, ultimately, its reputation. I would be glad to help you if you are willing to follow Wikipedia rules (especially, [[WP:COI]]). By the way, the bureaucratic nightmare that you are going through is largely caused by involvement of so many unscrupulous accounts. In fact, I rarely see so many sock puppet accounts in one place and never saw AfD being reopened.

== Standard Steps & Timeline for Requesting Edits? ==
I posted suggested updates to the Change.org talk pages in December (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change.org) and was wondering what the appropriate next steps are and standard timelines. Is this something you might be able to help me with or advise on? I'm unclear as to whom would actually review my proposal and make the adjustments. Should I pull them through directly and just include all the required citations and disclosers regarding my affiliation or should I just wait for someone to voluntarily assess and apply the edits? I want to ensure I fully follow and respect Wikipedia editing guidelines and welcome any guidance you can offer.

It belongs in a company brochure, not in an encyclopedia article. Who, other than the company, says those contacts are "smart"? Who, other than the company, says that those practices are "sustainanble" (sic)? An acceptable Wikipedia article summarizes what [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] that are entirely ''independent'' of the topic (5ire) say about the topic (5ire).

== Featured Article Subjects ==
I have a question about most Featured Articles.
When I go to the English Wikipedia home page and see what the Featured Article is, I often wonder to myself, "How did this become a featured article?" I am not questioning the idea of a Featured Article, it is just that a lot of Featured Articles seem to be niche culturally specific articles that I've never heard of. I guess the explanation for this is people edit what they are interested in and that's what articles get edits. [[User:ScientistBuilder|ScientistBuilder]] ([[User talk:ScientistBuilder|talk]]) 01:04, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

::::{{u|ScientistBuilder}}, Featured articles are not "articles about important topics". Instead, they are thoroughly researched and well written articles about ''any'' topic that editors who specialize in this type of article find interesting and engaging. You can find a complete categorized list of those articles at [[WP:FA]]. They are only about one tenth of one percent of all articles. As for "How did this become a featured article?", it underwent a very comprehensive and detailed peer review, details of which can be found on the article talk page.

== Math Formatting in Efn Template ==
Is there a way to use math formatting in an efn template?
I tried <math> and {{math}} but the option to add math didn't appear. I think this is because nested templates are not allowed. Is there a way to resolve this? [[User:ScientistBuilder|ScientistBuilder]] ([[User talk:ScientistBuilder|talk]]) 02:11, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

-== Query about major revision required to page [[List_of_RISC_OS_bundled_applications]] ==
-This page's content is more than ten years old. In that time new distributions of the OS have appeared with significant applications and games bundled. I have started constructing replacement tables in my sandbox, but want to be reassured that I can simply replace almost all the existing content with the newly formatted, but up to date, lists. Would an editor want to check my new material? If so, how?

-:I think [[WP:FIXIT]] applies. You've found a problem, you're doing the work to fix it... go for it! If someone wants to argue with you, they're free to do so, once you've done the work. If you feel like being more cautious, you could propose what you're going to do on [[Talk:List_of_RISC_OS_bundled_applications|the article's talk page]], suggesting a date a week or so out, on which you propose to make the change if nobody disagrees; that gives anyone who has the page in their watch-list plenty of time to chime in. Alternatively, you could preserve highlights of the old content in a "historical" section, or by creating a table which indicates when each piece of software was bundled, and when bundling was discontinued. That sounds interesting, but like a lot of work. [[User:Bwoodcock|Bill Woodcock]] ([[User talk:Bwoodcock|talk]]) 14:38, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
-::Thanks Bill. All good advice. In fact the page content is so old and unmaintained that I'm pretty sure no one is watching it, and I am thinking that the "historical" aspects are not that important in this case due to their irrelevance today. The new data has already been collected for the RISC OS magazine ''Archive'' (a possible Reference) so reformatting it into Wikipedia tables is the only additional work. I will use its Talk page to point to my sandbox for comment. Bernardboase 17:46, 14 February 2022 (UTC)<p>
-::On reflection, the likely chief objection to my proposed revamp of the page is that, by including two paid-for distros in my comparison tables, it may look like advertising even though the intention is only to show what functionality is covered by the distros. Is there guidance on this aspect? Bernardboase 16:39, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
-:::There are plenty of lists of things that include both commercial and noncommercial items. [[Public_recursive_name_server|Here's one I care about]], for instance... the criterion for inclusion there (since there are thousands of smaller ones that only a handful of people each care about) wound up being "is it notable enough to warrant a wikipedia article of its own?" Probably not the criterion you'd use, but I think you'll find that people don't see something being commercial as a reason why it shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. As long as you disclose any conflicts-of-interest you may have, and don't give undue or unbalanced attention to any one of a set of things, you should be fine.

You make a good point about such a page being hard to keep up to date, so I am now looking at an alternative location: a Mediawiki powered site that is specifically for RISC OS information at [https://www.riscos.info/index.php/RISC_OS riscos.info]. Its readers are much more likely to care about it enough to help with update! And its content won't be seen as advertising. I can put a reference link to it into the Wikipedia pages.

-:Hi, Welcome to Wikipedia, @[[User:Sjanapgs|Sjanapgs]], the only way that you are able to speed up the process in Articles for Creation is that you add WikiProject tags, what you do to add them is when you look at the draft, the yellow box will have a list of information on creating an article. You expand the section saying improving the odds of a speedy review and press the button of add WikiProject tags. When you go to the page for adding the tags, you type the general categories that the page falls under and then click add tags. This method will not always work, however it can speed up the review as reviewers may review the page over another one if it falls under something of interest to them.

To the crux of your question, what I want you to understand is drafts that are submitted are thrown into a pool as opposed to a queue so basically Patience is the most imperative factor at the moment, whilst there are ways to hasten the process, it is my opinion that those are more theoretical than practical.

-:{{re|ScientistBuilder}} As far as I am aware, only '''creating''' new articles with the content translation tool is restricted to EC users.

-:: My first serious efforts for WP were translation from German, and I'm sure that was before I had 500 edits. The important thing is that you acknowledge the translated material as described at [[Help:Translation]], and follow the guidelines there. It is super-important that the translation is of a good quality. Machine translations are often really dubious. The problem is that they deal with all the obvious stuff very well, which lures the user into a false sense of security: they break down on technical stuff, subtleties and ambiguous situations. If you want to use a machine translation, you will need either a combination of technical knowledge and willingness to go back to the sources, or a good knowledge of German yourself (sufficient to translate without the machine) in order to make sure the machine translation is accurate. But good luck, and happy editing! Translation is a very useful activity. [[User:Elemimele|Elemimele]] ([[User talk:Elemimele|talk]]) 18:15, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

-== Proving musical notability ==
-
-Hi all,
-
-I am trying to set a separate page up for a member of a band that has its own wikipedia page. By all accounts I did not originally fulfil the musical notability criteria. As a novice, I suspect that part of the problem was that I copy and pasted much of the original wikipedia entry, not through malice, more through naivety. I have since rewritten (read:hacked) and submitted the article, with new hyperlinks to Irish national newspapers.
-
-The url is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Enda_Mulloy
-
-I now note that I get a warning saying that my submission redirects to the band. Can anyone help? Each day, I discover that I am less intelligent that I thought.
-
-Many thanks in advance of a reply. [[Special:Contributions/94.118.100.188|94.118.100.188]] ([[User talk:94.118.100.188|talk]]) 10:50, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

-:You see that warning because [[Enda Mulloy]] is a redirect to [[The BibleCode Sundays]] (you can see it [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Enda_Mulloy&redirect=no here]). You do not need to do anything about that because your draft reviewer will override the redirect during article publication. However, I looked at your draft and I think it is not ready yet for publication/review. It might pass, but I think chances are still less than 50/50, I would recommend adding more in-depth reliable [[WP:INDEPENDENT|independent]] sources.

In addition, all the facts stated in the "Background" section must be capable of being [[WP:V|verified]] by readers.

[[User:Michael D. Turnbull|Mike Turnbull]] ([[User talk:Michael D. Turnbull|talk]]) 12:13, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
-::: Thanks, Michael and Anton. I appreciate the responses. The current draft is indeed smaller than the original. I originally thought that the first draft was refused because the new article borrowed (verbatum) too much from his band's wikipedia entry. I did try to ensure that everything in the second draft is verifiable, to that end, it is sourced from newspaper websites that I referenced/hyperlinked to. When, for example, I say that he has two boys, that is mentioned in a hyperlink printed further up the page. Other parts of the biography, such as mention of his father's band link to a separate wikipedia entry. If a newspaper website article mentions 5 facts that I repeat throughout the article, do I need to reference the website each time? I have no problem with doing that, I just thought it may look suspicious if I had loads of hyperlinks to the same newspaper article. Off the top of my head, the only "fact" that I have not provided a hyperlink to is the fact that he is a full time teacher, I will edit the entry to link to the institute's website.

-== Is looking for sources to add to un-/under-sourced articles confirmation bias? ==
-
-If I come across an article that is lacking sources and I go and try to find sources that support the existing claims, would that be confirmation bias? The claims aren't necessarily my own, but it kinda feels a little wrong for me to intentionally search for evidence for specific claims, any claims, and just use those sources to support the claim. I suppose in looking for sources if I come across opposing sources, I could add (and source) the opposing evidence as well, or just not add a source to the original claim, but I'm not sure what would be the best thing to do.

-:{{ping|Rourensu}} Hello Rour! I don't think looking for a source for things that are lacking a source would be confirmation bias (In fact, that's the entire reason why tags like {{tl|cn}} exist, to indicate what needs a source so editors can find one). However if you find reliable, secondary sources that go against the claim you are trying to source, then it would be wise to adjust the statement so that it matches what sources are saying. ― [[User:Blaze Wolf|<b style="background:#0d1125;color:#51aeff;padding:1q;border-radius:5q;">Blaze Wolf</b>]][[User talk:Blaze Wolf|<sup>Talk</sup>]]<sub title="Discord Username" style="margin-left:-22q;">Blaze Wolf#6545</sub> 16:05, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

-: {{re|Rourensu}} you ask a good question showing good intuition of what some of the subtler issues around [[WP:V|verifying content]] may be, and there is one thing that could apply here, and it involves the policy called {{nowrap|"[[WP:DUE WEIGHT]]"}}. To some extent, it depends on how you search, and especially on whether this is a fairly minor point of fact that will only be covered in a limited number of sources, or whether it's something major, with hundreds of published sources about it. If the latter is the case, the policy of [[WP:DUE WEIGHT]] comes more into play, and confirmation bias could be an issue. One example I recall regarding issues of confirmation bias in sourcing was about whether the American Revolution was one of the major causes of the French Revolution (spoiler: it wasn't). But because the French Revolution has had thousands of volumes published about it, it's not too hard to find a bunch of sources that go against the grain of the majority of sources about the Revolution, and if you search for and pick just those sources and cite them, it would give a skewed vision to the article that goes against [[WP:NPOV]], one of Wikipedia's core policies. Usually the way this happens, is by a well-intentioned, but [[WP:CHERRYPICKING|poorly-worded query]]: that is, if you search for the thing you are trying to prove, then it's much more likley you will find it, even if it is only 2% of the prevailing opinion of reliable sources, and not find the 98% of sources that say the opposite.
-: The principle of [[WP:DUE|DUE WEIGHT]] says that we must "{{xt| fairly represent all significant viewpoints that have been published by [[Wikipedia:Verifiability#What counts as a reliable source|reliable sources]], in proportion to the prominence of each viewpoint in the published, reliable sources}}", and that "{{xt|the views of tiny minorities should not be included at all}}". As long as you are careful with your queries, and don't word them in a way that is likely to turn up results in a biased way that tend to support the assertion your are seeking to cite, you should be fine. I hope this helps you with your question about confirmation bias. [[User:Mathglot|Mathglot]] ([[User talk:Mathglot|talk]]) 19:50, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

-== Broodiness: abnormal/normal behavior in hens? ==
-
-This question relates to the article "List of abnormal behaviors in animals" link: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_abnormal_behaviours_in_animals]]
-
-In this article, we are given a list of abnormal behaviors in animals, and on this list, we see the behavior "Broodiness". The article states that broodiness is "(...) considered abnormal in modern commercial egg-laying hens". The reference to this is the article "The Effect of Certain Groups of Environmental Factors upon the Expression of Broodiness" by William H. Burrows and Theodore C. Byerly (note that the article is from 1937!). I am not able to find any evidence in this scientific article that states that broodiness in modern commercial egg-laying hens (or in any other hens or chickens) is considered abnormal behavior. Is there any reliable reference that actually does investigate broodiness as an abnormal behavior? How can Wikipedia claim that broodiness is an abnormal behavior when there is no scientific evidence on this?

-:: I see the subject was indeed raised in the article talk-page, but I think it's so self-evident that referring to something as "modern" when the reference dates from 1937 that we can reasonably remove it. I've done so, and noted why in the talk-page. We'll see if anyone reverts. I also feel that the list is supposed to be of abnormal, not undesirable behaviours. It'd probably be possible to find sources saying that broodiness is normal natural behaviour in hens, just as a tendency for tigers to eat zoo-keepers is unfortunately natural to tigers. So all in all, it wasn't a good item in that list. [[User:Elemimele|Elemimele]] ([[User talk:Elemimele|talk]]) 17:29, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

-== what to do about AfD Fait accompli ==
-
-Hi, this relates to [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Lists_of_space_travelers]]. This AfD was opened by {{u|Tamingimpala}} at 8.15 this morning, as a recommended redirect. For the sake of honesty, I have a personal bias in that I think the redirect is daft, and have said so, but the consensus today has been against me, and the last person to post something was apparently the article's creator, who's voted redirect. Based on this, Tame/Tamingimpala has closed their own AfD at 20:34 on the day it was opened, with the result "Redirect".
-
-I'm not going to argue the toss about the result, but I think the way this has happened is outrageous. AfD's are supposed to run for 7 days, not 12 hours, and closure as a result that's effectively "Delete" by the proposer just seems wrong to me.
-
-I have asked, very strongly, that the closer re-open (on their talk page), but since the list has already been deleted, I'm not sure if this is too late? Or whether anything else should be done to ensure the material isn't gone for ever before it's properly debated. My worry is that others who've worked on lists of astronauts or have an opinion may not have logged on in the last 12 hours, in which case they'll find the entire thing has gone from initial proposal to final deletion between the time they had their evening meal, and finishing breakfast the following morning. I don't want to bludgeon a view that others don't have, and I'm not normally a stickler for procedural things, but this is just not right.

-:::: {{u|JosephTonio}}, the only thing I'd add is that AfC reviewers are both fair and human. If, having read [[WP:PERSON]] you feel that you misunderstood what was expected, and can now do a better job: if you are absolutely certain you can find several sources that have written about the subject in reasonable depth (not passing references in articles about something else), sources that are independent of the subject (not press-releases from events in which he's taken part, interviews with him etc.), and which are reliable sources (not blogs by people whose reliability we do not know), by all means engage the AfC reviewer in conversation. Post three really good references on their talk-page and they'll almost certainly be open to reconsidering. But if you can't find a couple of really good sources, there is genuinely no hope, no matter how many poorer sources are available. Lots of the best people in the world don't have WP articles!

-
-:Hello, WikipediaNeko. There is no formal system for requesting a rewrite: since Wikipedia is a community of volunteers, such a system would probably not get much uptake (even the existing system of [[WP:requested articles|requested articles]] does not often result in an article getting written). The best thing to do would be to start a discussion on [[Talk:Eusebius of Alexandria]], explaining your concerns, and how you think the article could be improved. You're also welcome to have a go at improving it yourself. You could also post at the talk pages of one or other of the WikiProjects named at the top of the article's talk page, and see if anybody in those project was interested in working with you on the article.

-:@[[User:Nmedinac|Nmedinac]] I have fixed some minor formatting errors, but the key thing for you to do is ensure the article meets [[WP:NPROF]] - the criteria for notability for scientists to have an article about them here. He may well do so, but at the moment this draft reads like an inside job by a student or co-worker. Statements like {{tq|"Mike Travisano is a central figure in biology at the University of Minnesota."}} are utterly pointless and verge on sycophantic. For a professor of biology, I should hope they are a central figure at their own university! You need to demonstrate how he, through his work, is notable outside of it!
-:Do please read and follow this guide in declaring an obvious [[WP:COI|Conflict of Interest]] with the subject you want to write about. (We don't mind that you know them - we just need you to declare that for transparency). Ensure every single statement you add is supported with a reliable, published citation. If you can't prove that at the age of two he moved to Newark, just remove that bit.

-::Also, [[User:ScientistBuilder|ScientistBuilder]], your FA-directed edits can be strange.

As I try to parse this, I infer that it's ''the definition'' that must be "better than one part in {{val|e=-6}}". Is this really so? It's hard for me to grasp, and very puzzling. However, I realize that my understanding of physics never surpassed secondary school level and since then has suffered long and serious attrition, and so I refrain from editing this kind of article (other than to correct obvious vandalism and the like).

-This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

-:Hello, {{u|FluffyPinkDude}}. This is about [[Draft:MicroPublication Biology]]. Your draft has not been rejected. Instead, it has been declined. That is an important distinction. Wikipedia has over 6.4 million articles, and frankly, many of them are of poor quality. An argument that consists of "I found other old poorly referenced articles on Wikipedia, so I should allowed to create a new poorly referenced article" is not an argument likely to gain much traction.

-Checking the history it seems that it was removed in [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=List_of_political_parties_in_Hong_Kong&direction=next&oldid=1055202148], then restored later in [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=List_of_political_parties_in_Hong_Kong&oldid=1060078300], but then removed again in [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=List_of_political_parties_in_Hong_Kong&oldid=1061817687] disguised as a table formatting cleanup. It seems that all these people were only focussed on modifying the table, yet did not even bothered to change the date in the paragraph before, which is nearly 5 years ago.

-Advice on how to demonstrate or evidence achievements
-
-Saeed Alememari is summiting the highest point in every United Nations country. He has recently completed all the countries in Central America and many of the Caribbean. He has a lot of photogrpahic eveidence and Garmin GPS records of all achievements.
-
-What are the best ways this evidence can included into a new Wikipedia page which will be constructed.
-
-Newspaper article, YouTube, TV, Instagram, other ?
-
-I would appreciate any advice on the best way that these achievements can be included ?
-
-Thankyou [[User:Tav Chlordane|Tav Chlordane]] ([[User talk:Tav Chlordane|talk]]) 06:46, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
-:Welcome to the Teahouse, {{u|Tav Chlordane}}. For general guidance on this, please see [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources]]. The best type of source would be secondary, so anything reporting on Alememari's achievements that is a reliable source (i.e. has a reputation for fact checking). This could be newspapers, television reports, and in the longer term, books. YouTube content would only be appropriate if it's been produced by an organisation with a reputation for reliability, such as a television company. Instagram posts would likely be primary sources and not appropriate here. [[User:Cordless Larry|Cordless Larry]] ([[User talk:Cordless Larry|talk]]) 08:09, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

-== How to demonstrate the WP:THREE best sources which demonstrate notability ==
-
-Hi all, and thank you for the editor feedback :{{Ping|Liance}}, it was actually a lot easier to understand and interpret than I had anticipated (as a Wikipedia editing newb).
-In reference to [[Draft:Paywith.glass|Paywith.glass]], just to make sure that I have indeed understood this correctly, the challenge with our sources is that they only mention the subject and are not directly written about the subject, somewhat like the subject is just a supporting cast member and not the start.
-
-You may note that for many of the cited articles<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bloomberg.com/press-releases/2022-02-09/-a-new-era-for-money-green-paper-outlines-a-digital-future-for-the-pound|title=‘A New Era for Money’: Green Paper Outlines a Digital Future for the Pound|website=Bloomberg|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thebanker.com/Editor-s-Blog/UK-private-sector-consortium-enters-the-CBDC-game|title=UK private sector consortium enters the CBDC game|website=The Banker|language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cityam.com/payments-industry-group-launches-uk-cbdc-pilot|title=CBDC pilot: Payments industry group to launch trial for UK digital currency|website=City A.M.|language=en-US}}</ref>, the terms used are 'led by' in references to the subject. Additionally, the subject matter in this draft is the financial services infrastructure/technology which is critical for the leading subjects that are mentioned in the cited public sources to be cited themselves or for the cited articles to even exist in the first place.
-
-Unfortunately, in the banking industry, it's not the tech infrastructure that is usually perceived as the star of the show (it's either considered boring or too complicated) but the organizations that rely on it instead. Until someone does a direct editorial on the specific technology infrastructure used in the initiative that will be officially launched in April 2022, I am uncertain of how to cite sources which more clearly illustrate that the infrastructure itself is critical to the mentioned citations even being there in the first place.
-
-I would like a bit of guidance or some recommendations on what to look for specifically in the cited materials in order to meet the criteria pointed out in the feedback.

-
-:hi :{{Ping|Maproom}}, thank you for the feedback. This is good to know. So it is essentially digital currency infrastructure that let's nation states issue, manage and distribute their CBDCs on one side with automatic cross-border interoperability, then on the other side, it allows banks, fintechs, mobile money operators, e-Commerce service providers and aggregators support the acceptance and use of these CBDCs for their customers (business and consumer) for regular financial transactions. So it is similar to China's [[DC/EP]] infrastructure for the [[Digital renminbi]] except it's not limited to one country's CBDC. So if it's not clear for you, it will also not be clear to others. So my question to you if you don't mind is, how can we better communicate this in the draft?[[User:Hatter.glass|Hatter.glass]] ([[User talk:Hatter.glass|talk]]) 12:34, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
-
-::Hi {{Ping|Hatter.glass}}, I've now had time to look at the three sources you list above. I don't think any of them helps to establish that the subject is notable: the first seems to be a press release, Bloomberg doesn't format their own content like that; the second has just a brief mention of the subject; and the third reports what Jhanji has said, and so is not independent (it also describes it as a pilot scheme, and expresses the view that the scheme will never be realised). As for making the draft more comprehensible: you need to start at the beginning, and explain whether the thing is hardware, software, a protocol, or just pie-in-the-sky. And avoid unexplained terms like "CBDC". [[User:Maproom|Maproom]] ([[User talk:Maproom|talk]]) 12:44, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

-== Nora Napaltjari Nelson ==
-
-I am wondering about what to do about this Yuendemu artist's incorrectly spelled name on wiki. The name on wiki is currently Norah Napaljari Nelson. The Darwin Supreme Court, where one of her paintings has been translated into a mosaic floor, lists her name as Nora Napaltjari Nelson, which would seem like an authoritative source, but I have made errors in editing before and I am anxious to not make more.
-I also know that she passed away sometime in the last 3-6 years, because I know people who knew her, but I can find no online reference or record. I only have a printed brochure from the recent 30th anniversary of the opening of the Supreme Court that implies her passing, and I have not found that online anywhere.
-Advice most welcome. [[User:Teepeemee|Teepeemee]] ([[User talk:Teepeemee|talk]]) 08:28, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
-
-:The Wikipedia (not just wiki) article on [[Norah Nelson Napaljarri]] explains that 'Napaljarri' is Warlpiri, and 'Napaltjarri' is the Western Desert dialect. That seems clear enough. I don't think a label in a Darwin court would be an authoritative source.

-== Criteria for Quote Attribution ==
-
-So I'm new here, and I started on a somewhat controversial talk page [[Talk:American_exceptionalism#Moral_Basis_of_Idea_is_Ignored]] which may have been a mistake, but review it and see what's going on. My question is, I brought up the lack of an important quote purportedly wrongfully attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville. It turns out the first mention of the quote is in a 1922 letter written to a magazine in which someone details a church service where the pastor made this quote: "I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers—and it was not there. . . . . in her fertile fields and boundless forests—and it was not there. . . . .in her rich mines and her vast world commerce—and it was not there. . . . in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution—and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great." The pastor in 1922 attributed the quote to de Tocqueville. However, this quote doesn't appear in any of his writings. Does a quote have to appear in writing in order to be "attributed" to the person? Or is this secondary source enough? He could have said it in a famous (at the time) speech not recorded anywhere in surviving texts. (Pure conjecture) I'm new to this, so please tell me the standards for attribution, thanks! [[User:Lincoln1809|Lincoln1809]] ([[User talk:Lincoln1809|talk]]) 17:58, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
-: Hi {{u|Lincoln1809}}! For stuff like this, we try to go with what the experts believe, since anything more than that is [[WP:OR|original research]], which is not allowed. So the way to frame your question is, what do the most respected de Tocqueville experts believe about the veracity of this quote? If they think he said it, we can include it verbatim (assuming it's relevant enough to the article). If they think maybe, we could say "some scholars believe...". If it's too disputed, leave it out and perhaps save it for Wikiquote, where the dispute can be noted. You can open a discussion at [[Talk:Alexis de Tocqueville]] if the answer isn't clear.

-== Friendly Help ==
-Hello, I Wanted to bring this up. I am have an article about me at [[Mario Cerrito]]. It was put up for deletion on February 3rd and was put into the "keep" status. After 5 days it was reopened and again put up for deletion discussion. I left a note on the nominators wall to no avail that read like this. '''Hello, this is Mario Cerrito. I am a little upset about what just happened. As a working artist and businessman your name means a lot. I am currently casting for a new movie and was just informed this morning by an actors agent after he "googled me" that my wikipedia is facing deletion. He asked me why. As embarrassing as it was when he asked me, I didn't know how to respond. What is irritating me the worst is after researching the history on the article it was JUST nominated for deletion and passed as "keep." As much as I don't know about wikipedia I started doing some research/reading and found under (Wikipedia: Renominating for Deletion) it states : If the XfD discussion was closed as “keep”, generally do not renominate the page for at least six months, unless there is something new to say, and even so, usually wait a few months. After checking it has literally been a matter of 5 days and a page about me has the deletion tag again and it is not right. I can read above that Tamzin seems to have the problem and upon looking at the just passed deletion discussion she forgot to mention it looks to be 5 Keep votes including Alanshohn, Eddy, Roman Spinner, Lamona and Saisykat. I see that a few were crossed out for whatever reasons but I am going off of what I am reading. You have to understand that as a working artist and individual something like a deletion tag on the first website that pops up when people "google you" is very demeaning. I am in the process of casting a film and people do research of who they are working with. To point out something else under (Wikipedia : Renominating for deletion) it also states "If you wish to renominate the page, hoping to achieve a different outcome, then slow down. You and the other participants may be overly involved with a particular perspective. Relisting immediately may come across as combative. Immediate second round participants are less likely to listen, and are more likely to dig in their heels. You may be right, but the audience won’t be receptive. The other participants very likely will be thinking that you have not been listening to them." I feel this has been handled unfairly and wished to express my concerns with you since you were the username who "kept" and then relisted." I wouldn't normall do something like this but felt I should since it's my name and livelihood. Thank you. Mario Cerrito'''''Italic text''

Unfortunately, this due process is necessary to maintain quality of Wikipedia content and, ultimately, its reputation. I would be glad to help you if you are willing to follow Wikipedia rules (especially, [[WP:COI]]). By the way, the bureaucratic nightmare that you are going through is largely caused by involvement of so many unscrupulous accounts. In fact, I rarely see so many sock puppet accounts in one place and never saw AfD being reopened.
-:I see a lot of links in references, but after I checked a few at random, none appeared [[WP:RS|reliable]], [[WP:INDEPENDENT|independent]], and in-depth. In other words, the sources I checked do not count for the purposes of [[WP:NOTABILITY|notability]]. Could you list three strongest sources which you believe support your argument the best? If you like I can check all sources myself, but that would take some time.

-== Adding my Book Series to Wikipedia ==

-Hello,

-I have written a book series that has dozens of reviews by reputable sources and has won several awards. However, I am not good at writing Wiki entries. Is there someone that could create the page for me? I tried last year, but was rejected over and over again.

To some extent, it depends on how you search, and especially on whether this is a fairly minor point of fact that will only be covered in a limited number of sources, or whether it's something major, with hundreds of published sources about it. If the latter is the case, the policy of [[WP:DUE WEIGHT]] comes more into play, and confirmation bias could be an issue. One example I recall regarding issues of confirmation bias in sourcing was about whether the American Revolution was one of the major causes of the French Revolution (spoiler: it wasn't). But because the French Revolution has had thousands of volumes published about it, it's not too hard to find a bunch of sources that go against the grain of the majority of sources about the Revolution, and if you search for and pick just those sources and cite them, it would give a skewed vision to the article that goes against [[WP:NPOV]], one of Wikipedia's core policies. Usually the way this happens, is by a well-intentioned, but [[WP:CHERRYPICKING|poorly-worded query]]: that is, if you search for the thing you are trying to prove, then it's much more likley you will find it, even if it is only 2% of the prevailing opinion of reliable sources, and not find the 98% of sources that say the opposite.

289 => ': The principle of [[WP:DUE|DUE WEIGHT]] says that we must "{{xt| fairly represent all significant viewpoints that have been published by [[Wikipedia:Verifiability#What counts as a reliable source|reliable sources]], in proportion to the prominence of each viewpoint in the published, reliable sources}}", and that "{{xt|the views of tiny minorities should not be included at all}}".

I am not able to find any evidence in this scientific article that states that broodiness in modern commercial egg-laying hens (or in any other hens or chickens) is considered abnormal behavior. Is there any reliable reference that actually does investigate broodiness as an abnormal behavior?

My question is, I brought up the lack of an important quote purportedly wrongfully attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville. It turns out the first mention of the quote is in a 1922 letter written to a magazine in which someone details a church service where the pastor made this quote: "I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers—and it was not there. . . . . in her fertile fields and boundless forests—and it was not there. . . . .in her rich mines and her vast world commerce—and it was not there. . . . in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution—and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great." The pastor in 1922 attributed the quote to de Tocqueville. However, this quote doesn't appear in any of his writings. Does a quote have to appear in writing in order to be "attributed" to the person? Or is this secondary source enough? He could have said it in a famous (at the time) speech not recorded anywhere in surviving texts. (Pure conjecture) I'm new to this, so please tell me the standards for attribution, thanks!

I am a little upset about what just happened. As a working artist and businessman your name means a lot. I am currently casting for a new movie and was just informed this morning by an actors agent after he "googled me" that my wikipedia is facing deletion. He asked me why. As embarrassing as it was when he asked me, I didn't know how to respond. What is irritating me the worst is after researching the history on the article it was JUST nominated for deletion and passed as "keep." As much as I don't know about wikipedia I started doing some research/reading and found under (Wikipedia: Renominating for Deletion) it states : If the XfD discussion was closed as “keep”, generally do not renominate the page for at least six months, unless there is something new to say, and even so, usually wait a few months. After checking it has literally been a matter of 5 days and a page about me has the deletion tag again and it is not right. I can read above that Tamzin seems to have the problem and upon looking at the just passed deletion discussion she forgot to mention it looks to be 5 Keep votes including Alanshohn, Eddy, Roman Spinner, Lamona and Saisykat. I see that a few were crossed out for whatever reasons but I am going off of what I am reading. You have to understand that as a working artist and individual something like a deletion tag on the first website that pops up when people "google you" is very demeaning. I am in the process of casting a film and people do research of who they are working with. To point out something else under (Wikipedia : Renominating for deletion) it also states "If you wish to renominate the page, hoping to achieve a different outcome, then slow down. You and the other participants may be overly involved with a particular perspective. Relisting immediately may come across as combative. Immediate second round participants are less likely to listen, and are more likely to dig in their heels. You may be right, but the audience won’t be receptive. The other participants very likely will be thinking that you have not been listening to them." I feel this has been handled unfairly and wished to express my concerns with you since you were the username who "kept" and then relisted."
