==Translation==
Hello Teahouse
i recently tried - and failed - to create a wiki page, subject Michael Bolus Sculptor.
I have just found a page:
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bolus
It's in German and seems short of references etc
Is it possible to translate this page to the english wiki pages and then build on it with additional information?

::Hello, {{u|Greensaulberg}}. If that article was translated and no sources added, it would be deleted as an unsourced [[WP:BLP|biography of a living person]]. If you found and added sources to it, then it would be acceptable, provided that the subject meets our [[WP:N|notability requirements]]. [[User:Cordless Larry|Cordless Larry]] ([[User talk:Cordless Larry|talk]]) 07:19, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

:Thanks Cordless. Subject is dead, 2013. How would i go about adding sources to the article if not reading German? If i understand you correctly then translating and moving it to english wiki, would immediately prompt it's deletion giving no time for citation adding etc Could it be translated to a sandbox maybe? [[User:Greensaulberg|Greensaulberg]] ([[User talk:Greensaulberg|talk]]) 08:11, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

::Hello, {{U|Greensaulberg}}. I suggest you translate it to a draft [[Draft:Michael Bolus]] (that's red because it doesn't exist yet). As long as it is not an attack page or a copyright infringement, nobody will interfere with it there, and you can work on the language and the references. You might get some assistance at [[WP:WikiProject Germany]] or [[WP:WikiProject Sculpture]]. --[[User:ColinFine|ColinFine]] ([[User talk:ColinFine|talk]]) 08:49, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

==Citation==
I'm creating a new page with the help of the artist. This may well mean that elements in the text can't be cited as they've never been published before, I have however provided these where I can. The material is accurate though as I have a pretty authoritative source.  I've never submitted for review before but will in the next week or 2 when I'll include much more of the material sourced from the interview with Ross, but I imagine that the citations (or lack of) may be challenged.  Is there a way round this? It's a draft page called Blue Rose Code (a Scots musician called Ross Wilson) if it helps to look... [[Draft:Blue Rose Code]]

: Material sourced to an unpublished interview should not be included.  Stick to material which is referenced to published [[WP:reliable sources|reliable sources]]. --[[User:David Biddulph|David Biddulph]] ([[User talk:David Biddulph|talk]]) 08:55, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

:{{ec}} Hello, {{U|Weirydad}}. Yes, it's always helpful to include a link to an article you are asking about; and somebody has changed your URL to a Wikilink for clarity.
:In answer to your question, I'm afraid not. A keystone of Wikipedia is [[WP:Verifiability|Verifiability]]: if it hasn't been (reliably) published, then it doesn't go into a Wikipedia article. Period.
:Another way of looking at this is to realise that Wikipedia has almost no interest in what anybody says about themselves (or what their friends, relatives, associates, employees etc say about them). It is only interested in what people who have no connection to a subject have (reliably) published about the subject. So to write an article you first need to assemble independent reliably published sources (and if you can't find any, the subject is not [[WP:notable|notable]] in Wikipedia's special sense, and no article will be accepted however it is written), and then forget anything you may know about the subject and write an article based wholly on those sources (though in your own words, not plagiarising).
:On which subject, if you are working with the help of the artist, it is likely that you have a [[WP:conflict of interest|conflict of interest]], and you should be aware of our policies and advice on that subject. You are not forbidden from creating the article (and working on a draft, as you are doing, is the best way to proceed). But you should declare your COI as recommended in that link, and be careful about keeping your language neutral and not promotional. --[[User:ColinFine|ColinFine]] ([[User talk:ColinFine|talk]]) 09:01, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback, I don't know if you reviewed the article but  I have tried to be impartial about the document what's stated are facts.  I've cited where these exist.  When I say I'm working with the artist I'm not connected to him in any way but he has provided facts (DOB, area of Edinburgh, name of original label) but before I provide any more I wanted to ensure that I could do this reasonably and it sounds like I cant. I don't believe there is any conflict of interest but I'll read the article you reference.   I believe the artist is notable given the work he's done and the fact that articles exist for many of his contemporaries.

== Make an Article ==

There is a semi-popular social media/"meme sharing" app that I want to work together with other users of the the app to make a Wikipedia article about it. The app is called Pictophile. Would it be an ok thing to make a new article about?  <small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/108.31.67.122|108.31.67.122]] ([[User talk:108.31.67.122|talk]]) 11:46, 10 May 2016 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:Hello, IP editor. The answer is "possibly". If you read [[WP:Your first article|Your first article]], you will see that the whole process starts with finding sources: places where people who have no connection with the app have published substantial writing about it (not just passing mentions), in reliable places. That does not include social media, wikis, or most blogs, and it also doesn't include anything based on a press release or an interview with the people who made the app. We need to know that several people have thought the App worth writing about, in places like reputable magazines or books (websites are OK as long as they have a reputation for editorial control and fact checking).
:If you cannot find any sources like this, then the app is not currently [[WP:Notable|Notable]] in Wikipedia's special sense, and you shouldn't spend any time working on it because an article is not going to be accepted however you write it. If you can find sources, then use the [[WP:articles for creation|articles for creation]] process to make a draft. Forget everything you know about the app (and especially any opinions or evaluations you have) and write your draft entirely based on what the reliable independent sources say (but in your own words, not just copying the text).
:Writing a new article from scratch is not easy, and it baffles me why so many people that come here want to do that as the first thing they do; but if you understand the links I've given, and find your sources, there is no reason why you can't create a good article. --[[User:ColinFine|ColinFine]] ([[User talk:ColinFine|talk]]) 13:34, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Can I simply copy and paste a whole copyright-free articles and add it to Wikipedia or not? [[User:Super ninja2|shorouq★kadair 👱]] ([[User talk:Super ninja2|talk]]) 15:11, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

:Probably not, {{U|Super ninja2}}. It won't be a copyright infringement (assuming it is indeed released under a suitable free licence), but it is unlikely to be suitable in content. Wikipedia articles are required to be neutrally written, and based entirely on published information, with the sources cited online. Unless your source is one which has very similar criteria to Wikipedia, it won't be suitable. --[[User:ColinFine|ColinFine]] ([[User talk:ColinFine|talk]]) 15:42, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

:It seems nice. Not that I know best, but the piece about his death might be the reason your draft was rejected. "It was not the will of god" and "perhaps for only this reason" do not seem formal. [[User:Dr. Gullible|Dr. Gullible]] ([[User talk:Dr. Gullible|talk]]) 16:10, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
::There are many problems with your draft, I am afraid, {{u|Legends2016}}. Large parts of it are unsourced, and so it fails our requirement for [[WP:V|verifiability]]. You ask how a personal doctor of a founder of a country can be judged not notable. Notability is not "inherited" from personal or professional relationships, but rather demonstrated by significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. The subject may well be notable, but your draft does not sufficiently demonstrate this with references to such sources. The "Extracts from speeches" section does not belong on Wikipedia and might be better suited to [https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Main_Page Wikiquote].

==When to revert an article?==
Hello Teahousers,

I am here to ask for your input on the culture of reverting articles. I have found the page telling me how to do it [[Help:Reverting|via this page]]. I know about [[Wikipedia:Edit_warring|edit warring]] and I know about RfCs run amok first hand. 

My question is, what is the considerate time frame after one has tried to communicate with an editor about their edits, and about the preferred culture of discussion on a talk page before major edits are done, before one might consider a reversion to a previous version of an article? 

Reverting a page seems like an escalation in almost all cases, at least to me. Does it have this sense for the rest of you too?

I want understand more of the culture of page reverting, from your personal experience. Knowledge is useful.

I hesitate to link the article that has me asking, as I don't want to have my questions here seem to be canvassing or pressure or escalation. I am generally looking for brief descriptions of your experience to help me navigate new waters with care and clarity. 

Thank you and best wishes, [[User:AD64|AD64]] ([[User talk:AD64|talk]]) 17:02, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

:[[WP:BRD| Bold, Revert, Discuss]] is your guide.  Added material that's (sensibly) questioned shouldn't be re-added until it's been discussed.  Should that prove difficult, getting a [[WP:3O|third opinion]] can break the impasse without it turning into an edit war.  Note that you can still get in trouble for edit warring, even if you're "right".  If you meet someone who just isn't playing by the rules, don't push it too hard yourself, get other involved editors (or an entirely neutral 3O editor) to help out.  [[User:Bromley86|Bromley86]] ([[User talk:Bromley86|talk]]) 00:30, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

==What's the proper space for a KIS userbox template?==
I've created a [[Wikipedia:Keep It Simple]] label template for [[Wikipedia:Typo Team]] which I've put on my [[User:Reidgreg/sandbox|sandbox]].  I copied the code from another KIS template and used the data from [[Template:User typo team]] and I'm pretty sure I have it right (though if someone wanted to check it for obvious errors, I'd appreciate it).  My main question is:  where should I give it a permanent home?

KIS labels no longer have their own space.  [[Wikipedia:KIS/label]] says to put it to userspace or project space.  [[Wikipedia:USERBOX#Which namespace?]] says that WikiProject userboxes should go in the project namespace.  And the existing typo team userbox [[Template:User typo team]] is in the template namespace.  I don't really understand how it's all organized.  Where should I put it?  If I should ask at KIS or Typo Team, what's the best way to find the right person there? [[User:Reidgreg|Reidgreg]] ([[User talk:Reidgreg|talk]]) 02:54, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
==Guidelines for [[WP:ARTIST]]==
I'm wondering, for a subject to be considered notable per [[WP:ARTIST]], does it have to fulfill all of the criteria as there are four points outlined. If only one of the criteria is completed, does that ascertain notability or can it be subjective when deciding. <span style="text-shadow:grey0.5em0.5em0.6em;">'''[[User:Nikolaiho|<span style="color:#00FF00;"><b><span style="color:{{ trim | red }};">{{ trim | Nik }}</span><span style="color:{{ trim | orange }};">{{ trim | ol }}</span><span style="color:{{ trim | purple }};">{{ trim | ai }}</span><span style="color:{{ trim | red }};">{{ trim | Ho }}</span></b></span>]]'''</span> 03:33, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

:Under [[Wikipedia:Notability_(people)#Additional_criteria|Additional criteria]] on that page it says that "People are likely to be notable if they meet '''any''' of the following standards" (my emphasis). So it's any one of those four.  [[User:Rojomoke|Rojomoke]] ([[User talk:Rojomoke|talk]]) 03:49, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
::Welcome to the Teahouse, {{U|Nikolaiho}}. Clearcut cases tell us very little. No one is likely to contest the notability of an artist who has dozens of works in the permanent collections of the Louvre, the Tate, the Guggenheim, the Smithsonian, the LACMA, the SFMOMA, and so on. But what of the artist with a single work in the Denver Art Museum? Sometimes, meeting two of these criteria in a borderline fashion is more persuasive to some editors than meeting just one of them barely. Subjectivity enters into these debates, as does presenting the content in a fashion that simulates an acceptable Wikipedia article. Those who want to either keep or delete an article should be expected to make a broadly convincing case, instead of quibbling about trivialities.

==[[Illma Gore]] article==
[[Illma Gore]] painted the picture of Donald Trump naked and ended up making it available free on her website.  Would inclusion of this image be policy compliant and appropriate for her BLP?  Has this been discussed somewhere on WP?  Thanks.  [[User:EdChem|EdChem]] ([[User talk:EdChem|talk]]) 13:58, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

:Hello, {{U|EdChem}}. I can see nothing on her website which mentions the copyright status of her work, so we must assume that it is not free, and cannot be used. (The fact that she has chosen to let people download it for free does not mean that she has licensed it in a way compatible with Wikipedia). Sorry. --[[User:ColinFine|ColinFine]] ([[User talk:ColinFine|talk]]) 19:13, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
::It may or may not qualify as [[WP:NFC|fair use of non-free content]] though. If the visual art style of the particular image was discussed in the article, it could pass our [[WP:NFCC|non-free content criteria]] and be used in spite of its copyright status. <span style="font-family: serif; letter-spacing: 0.1em">–&nbsp;[[User:Finnusertop|Finnusertop]]</span> ([[User talk:Finnusertop|talk]] ⋅ [[Special:Contributions/Finnusertop|contribs]]) 23:42, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
:::Hi {{u|EdChem}}. Licensing is really important for sure when it comes to images, but there are also other considerations as well. Images are also [[:WP:IUP#Content|article content]], so it is possible that another editor may remove the image because they feel it does nothing to improve the article. If that happens, then you should try and resolve things in the spirit of [[:WP:BRD]] or [[:WP:DR]] on the article's talk page just like you should for any type of content dispute. A free license is not an automatic guarantee of use; it might be necessary to achieve a consensus on the article's talk page as well. As for adding textual content about the image to the article, it will really help your case if you are able to provide a reliable source in support, especially in the case of non-free use. If the article reflects what reliable sources say about the painting and it's style, then there's a better chance of the image remaining in the article. If the relevant text is unsourced or really just super basic (e.g., Illma Gore painted a picture of Trump naked and let people download it for free from her website.), then others may say the text and image shouldn't be there per [[:WP:OR]], [[:WP:UNDUE]], or [[:WP:BLP]]. Try and remember that BLP policy applies not only to subjects of articles, but also any living persons mentioned within the articles. The more your arguments for including the image are based upon relevant policies and guidelines, the better your chance of convincing others that including it actually improves the article. -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 08:04, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

== New user, deploying articles straight to WP ==

Hi guys.  Via a list page on my watchlist, I've spotted a couple of new pages deployed by a new editor.  They've not gone through the draft/review process that I'd assumed was required; seems I was wrong there.

Going by his name, the editor is one of the winners of the competition, so a COI.  Currently, there aren't any sources that establish notability, let alone support the points made.  I've popped in a couple of refimprove tags, and was going to give the editor a while to find some, but thought I'd pop in here to figure out what the right thing to do is.  Cheers, [[User:Bromley86|Bromley86]] ([[User talk:Bromley86|talk]]) 03:24, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
:Welcome to the Teahouse, {{U|Bromley86}}. Although the [[WP:AFC|Articles for creation]] process is recommended, it is ''entirely optional'' and any registered editor can create any new article they wish at any time. Of course, any such article must comply with our policies and guidelines or is in danger of being deleted. Speaking personally, I have written many dozen new articles, have never once used the AFC/draft/review process, and none of my articles has been deleted. That is probably because I am systematic rather than impulsive, and I studied the policies and guidelines for months before writing my first article in 2009.

==Notoriety  ==
Hi,

My article was recently declined do to a lack of notoriety for the subject of Hollywood, CA based architecture studio, 5+design. The firm has been around for 11 years after it merged out of the Jerde Partnership and has gone on to be involved in high level projects around the world. I've posted several sources that can verify the studio's importance. Does anyone know what else can be done? [[User:Mila Sabreen|Mila Sabreen]] ([[User talk:Mila Sabreen|talk]]) 17:33, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

:Hi [[User:Mila Sabreen|Mila Sabreen]] - I think you need to read the refusal notice at [[Draft:5+design]] more carefully - the article was not refused for lack of notoriety, but lack of proven notability.<br />The notice also explains what you need to do - add references showing the practice has received '''significant''' coverage in '''reliable sources''' that are '''independent''' of the subject. Currently, you have cited no sources whatsoever; as the refusal notice states, these must be added so that all the information is verifiable, and demonstrate that the practice is "notable", and should be formatted as explained in [[Help:Referencing for beginners]] - [[User:Arjayay|Arjayay]] ([[User talk:Arjayay|talk]]) 17:44, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

==3 questions including, wife is ex-wife but no source; pdf upload grief; reliable sources denied ==
My questions are about this wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Alcock 

1- Two things I'm initially stuck on: - I have a media article I want to add, but it's a pdf not a URL. I can't figure out how to add it to a Media list? 

2 - In the editing, the media articles look like they're listed one per line. But when i go to the wikipedia webpage, they're all text wrapped, instead of numbered bullet points. How come?

Lost Lisa -[[User:Playethic|Playethic]] ([[User talk:Playethic|talk]]) 03:29, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

:Hi, {{U|Playethic|Lisa}}. I'm guessing that you are talking about the references. References are used to support information in the article, and the important bit of them is the bibliographic information (date, title, author, where published etc) - a URL is a helpful convenience, not a requirement. Having said that, if the source has been posted on the web as a PDF, a URL to it should work fine. (If what you mean is that you have a PDF that is not on the web, then that is not acceptable as a source, because there is no way of telling its provenance. If it has been published, a citation to its original publication would be acceptable. If it hasn't, it can never be used as a reference).
:As you say, references appear in the code where they are used (i.e. immediately following the statement they are used to support): the software handles their display and numbering.

The version at the time of your post is [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bruce_Alcock&oldid=719647929 here]. Where is the pdf article you want to add? If it's only on your own computer then where is the article originally from? See [[Help:Referencing for beginners]] for how to make numbered references. You can also edit a page to see how things are done there. Old references can be copied from the edit window of an old page version. Click the "View history" tab to see the page history.

:I'm disappointed that my Wikipedia update was deleted and reverted in full.  I read the pages you asked me to look at but still have a few questions...

- The current Wikipedia entry talks about his wife in 2000.   She is no longer his wife, he many years ago remarried and now runs the company with his current wife.  But I have no source for this, we just know as fact But it seems a significant Wikipedia error/update.  What do I do about that not having a source so not being accepted?

- I don't understand why some media references I added, like the Globe and Mail Canada's national newspaper, were deleted.

- It looks from the link WP:REFB you asked me to read, that the pdf should be acceptable with the preface that [Author says], as it was an opinion column in a magazine. However the pdf no longer has a URL.  I'm confused about how I can upload it and if it can be accepted.

:Sources don't actually have to be available online to use as references, {{u|Playethic}}, so you can cite a published magazine column even if the PDF version is no longer online.

== TOC for mobile pages?  ==

I have two separate but related questions: 
# Is there any way to add a table of contents to the mobile version of my talk page? I would like to be able to find particular items in that page without scrolling through the whole thing. 
# Is there any way to view a page's table of contents in the mobile view? Obviously, unlike my own userspace pages, there should not be a way for me to force a visible table of contents onto a mainspace page, but is there any way that ''I'' can see it? When you open a mobile page, all you see of it is the introductory section and the titles of the collapsed top-level (H2) sections. If it's an article you're not familiar with and you're looking for some particular kind of detail about the subject, if that material is in a subsection, the only way to find it is to open and scroll through every top-level section that seems like it might contain it. In a long and detailed article that can be an awful waste of time.--[[User:Thnidu|Thnidu]] ([[User talk:Thnidu|talk]]) 19:17, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

:This does not answer your question, but it may be helpful. If you are looking at any Wikipedia page on a mobile, you can scroll to the bottom and select "desktop" instead of "mobile".

Thank you for the feedback on our draft: Page365 article page.
In that article you commented about "What is meant by a "sales engine built on the ground up for social commerce"? (Also, provide a reference for that claim."
Instead of explaining those is it possible for us to re-write them with different wording thus it will be easier to understand for anyone who is unfamiliar with the subject? or should I use the other term that wikipedia already has?

If there is a term that Wikipedia already has, using it would be helpful.  Alternatively, the lede paragraph should explain what the subject is and does.  I will also note that the references are a mixture of reliable and unreliable sources.  The unreliable sources include Facebook, LinkedIn, and press releases.

==I would like to ask if how to change topic about Dumaguete on Hotel and Tourism since you mentioned about the opening of Mercure Hotel in Dumaguete which will no longer happen. Instead of Mercure Hotel the new hotel name is Bravo Resorts, Sibulan==

I would like to correct the article about Dumaguete specifically on Hotel & Tourism which Wikipedia mentioned on the opening of Mercure hotel in Dumaguete. Mercure Management and the hotel owner decided not to continue the management service of Mercure but instead owner of the hotel will management the hotel which is named BRAVO RESORTS Sibulan. 

We will appreciate the correction about the said article soon.

Thank you,

Cha

Bravo Resorts, Sibulan

:Hello, {{U|Pamelajefferson}}. Are you sure you mean "download", i.e. from Wikipedia to your computer? If so, that will depend on your browser, but usually a right-click will allow you to. Most people who ask about this are actually asking about uploading - from your computer to Wikipedia. If that is what you want, be aware that Wikipedia is very picky about copyright questions, but see [[Help:Upload]]--[[User:ColinFine|ColinFine]] ([[User talk:ColinFine|talk]]) 20:41, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

::Hello again {{U|Pamelajefferson}}. I'm not sure what you mean by "newsletter publication", or "the source reference". Normally, in order to upload a picture, it must have been ''explicitly'' released by the copyright holder under a suitable licence such as [[WP:CC-BY-SA]] (which will allow anybody to reuse it for any purpose, even commercially, as long as they attribute it properly). If the copyright holder has not already released it (eg by a copyright statement on their website), they can do so by sending a mail to Wikimedia according to [[WP:Donating copyright materials]]. Alternatively, if the image is in the public domain (generally either because it is old enough, or it has been placed in the public domain by the copyright holder, as the US government does for many images it produces). In a very limited set of circumstances it is possible to upload images which are not free, as long as they are used in a way which satisfies ''all'' the conditions in the [[WP:non-free copyright criteria|non-free copyright criteria]]: book covers, posters, and programmes are some of the things which sometimes are accepted in this way, but it depends on what article they are to be used to illustrate.

: Welcome to the Teahouse.
