multiple and multiply nested refs

I've been editing Christopher Columbus, and I noticed that under "Relatives | Brothers:" the infobox listed

Giacomo (also called Diego),

References

As a linguist, I knew that the names Giacomo (Italian) and Diego (Spanish) are related to each other and to the English name James. That seemed relevant to mention, because the alternate names for this son of an Italian working for Spain are not arbitrary, as a pen name can be (e.g., "Mark Twain" for Samuel Clemens). I found good sources at the website Behind the Name, on the pages for the three names.

At first I tried to incorporate the refs into an explanatory footnote ({{efn-ua}}) after the ref that was already on the line, but that meant nesting three separate footnotes into the efn— even more complex, nesting within nesting like a matryoshka, if I used {{cite web}}, as I prefer to do. I tried {{refn}} but couldn't get it to work. Finally I settled on sticking them into the ref in-line, after the existing {{cite NIE}} (my addition in boldface):

<ref>{{Cite NIE| wstitle=Columbus, Diego (brother) |display=Columbus, Diego. The youngest brother of Christopher Columbus}} — The names Giacomo and Diego are cognates, along with James, all sharing a common origin. See Behind the Name, Mike Campbell, pages Giacomo, Diego, and James. All retrieved 2017-02-03.</ref>

So now it comes out like this:

Giacomo (also called Diego)

References

One other issue here that I've been running into elsewhere as well is citing several pages from the same website using the informative {{cite web}}, without copying the whole citation for each one. Often, as here, the only differences are the url and title parameters. The only template like that that I know of is {{rp}}, which doesn't suit this case.

Is there a better way to handle either of these problems? That is, nesting a ref inside an explanatory footnote, and citing different pages of the same website when the differences are as minimal as they are here? Please {{Ping}} me to discuss. --Thnidu (talk) 06:53, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Thnidu On your first conundrum: it seems that {{refn}} should work. An experiment to try to obtain something like what I think you were aiming at yielded the following:

Newly registered editor copying my username exactly

Move draft sandbox article to main Wikipedia

Hi, I was working on an article in Sandbox entitled 'Creamware' (the pottery type). It's ready now but I don't know how to move it to Wikipedia - I just moved it to the wrong place Wikipedia:Creamware (???) when I was actually trying to replace the existing STUB ('Creamware') with my new Article. I'm still fairly new to this, so help would be appreciated! Many thanks, JasperWare (talk) 16:34, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for coming here JasperWare and asking for this to be put right. The page is now safely back in your user space under User:JasperWare/Creamware. Now about the existing article: we generally don't overwrite material other editors have contributed, assuming it's of acceptable quality and in line with policies. The current article looks OK to build on and the material you have compiled would make a valuable major expansion: so could I suggest you try to 'seamlessly' integrate your contribution with what's there?: Noyster (talk), 18:52, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Category:Articles_with_a_promotional_tone

Correcting internal links

I would like to know if it is possible to correct an internal link to another wikipedia page. This is the first task I am attempting as an editor. The link in question (on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FOSB) is, I guess, automatically generated by enclosing a keyword in brackets: GluR2. This is found in the table titled "Neural and behavioral effects of validated ΔFosB transcriptional targets", derived from Reference 15.

When clicked this takes the reader to an incorrect page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabotropic_glutamate_receptor_2), instead of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRIA2. GRIA2 is the new correct name for the GluR2 subunit of the AMPA receptor (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMPA_receptor#Subunit_composition). The confusion has no doubt arisen because this protein, like many others, has been renamed.

If you need confirmation that the link should be to the AMPA receptor subunit, this can be found in reference 15:

Review. Transcriptional mechanisms of addiction: role of DeltaFosB - Nestler EJ, 2008

In the discussion of table 3 (the table featured on the Wikipedia page), page 3249: "Several target genes of DFosB have been established using a candidate gene approach (table 3). One candidate gene is GluR2, an alpha-amino-3-hydroxy- 5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) glutamate receptor subunit (Kelz et al. 1999)."

I suppose this also begs the question - how do you specify a certain page in a link that appears to be automatically generated, when disambiguation must be a common problem? — Preceding unsigned comment added by JonCollier (talk • contribs) 21:19, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

If I understand correctly, the problem is that two different proteins – Metabotropic glutamate receptor 2 and GRIA2 – have both been abbreviated as "GluR2" in the literature.

Meanwhile, here on Wikipedia, GluR2 was created as a "redirect" (follow that link for more information about redirects, what they are, and how they work) that points to Metabotropic glutamate receptor 2.

Two things probably need to be done to fix this:

1. GluR2 needs to be a disambiguation page (again, more information at that link), giving readers who search for GluR2 a choice between the two possible meanings.
2. Places where GluR2 is directly wikilinked in our articles should be converted to piped links to the correct protein article.

(Assuming I've correctly interpreted the situation.) TenOfAllTrades(talk) 23:07, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

I've made the disambiguation page. Fixing inbound links looks a bit tricky because the template {{addiction}} links to GluR2 and I'm not sure which one it is supposed to go to. Siuenti (talk) 00:51, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for noticing this. Based upon the molecular and cell biology wikiproject's style guide, protein names and acronyms as page titles should conform to the recommended UniProt name(s). Based upon the UniProt entries for both proteins on the current DAB page (glutamate receptor 2 and metabotropic glutamate receptor 2), GluR2 should redirect to the GRIA2 gene article whereas mGluR2 should redirect to metabotropic glutamate receptor 2.

Also, among the 4 AMPA receptor subunits, it appears that only GluR2 was incorrectly redirected to a metabotropic receptor since GluR1, GluR3, and GluR4 all go to the right articles. The simplest way to fix this would be to redirect GluR2 to GRIA2. Since the link in template:addiction (which I added) and all the article backlinks to GluR2 (which I checked) are about GRIA2, nothing actually needs to be changed or piped to a different article after redirecting this page.

Blank World Map w/ Individual US States?

Reference

what type of references i can provide? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Malikriazqasim (talk • contribs) 09:26, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

• The only requirement to add references on Wikipedia is that they are published, i.e. its authors wished it to be distributed. It can be very hard to find: for instance, an out-of-print book, a scientific paper behind a paywall, an entry in a database that costs a lot to access, etc.

However, there are additional restrictions. Each assertion should be supported by a reliable source independent of the subject, unless the claim is not controversial or disputed (for instance, sales of company X could usually be sourced to the financial report of company X; however, in the context of the Enron scandal, company sources cannot be taken at face value).

Moreover, every Wikipedia article should demonstrate the notability of the topic by a reference to multiples sources that at the same time are reliable, independent of the subject, and deal with the subject in detail. See WP:GNG. Tigraan^{Click here to contact me} 12:14, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Pinging Malikriazqasim. Tigraan^{Click here to contact me} 12:15, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Malikriazqasim, if you're just beginning, please read "Your First Article". In short, the requirement is that references (or "sources") must be well-established and authoritative, like books, magazines, newspapers and journals, either physical or online. Things like blogs (usually), social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and YouTube are not acceptable as sources. You can read more details at: "reliable sources". Also, take note that personal knowledge or personal experience cannot be used as references. Here are a couple of other pages where you can learn more about referencing for Wikipedia: "Verifiability" and "Citing Sources". DonFB (talk) 12:33, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Savorêt dialect => deletion

Hi,

I need help for a proposal of deletion. Actually I'm not sure to have done things correctly.

The article is this one: Savorêt dialect.

The related article on WpFr was deleted yesterday after this discussion fr:Discussion:Savorêt/Suppression.

thanks a lot.

• @Benoît Prieur: (traduction française disponible sur demande)

As it stands the article is correctly tagged for proposed deletion. Anyone can remove the PROD tag at anytime, otherwise it will be deleted without discussion next week.

I think you were right not to send it to articles for deletion, where a full discussion would take place. Although decisions on the fr-wiki are not binding on en-wiki, it seems unlikely that someone on en-wiki would come up with a reliable source when the fr-wiki discussion concluded that this was probably a hoax. The more aggressive option of tagging it with a speedy deletion tag of "blatant hoax" would probably have been declined, as this is not a blatant hoax. Tigraan^{Click here to contact me} 12:05, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Very basic questions: (1) how do I insert references into the text (2) how do I put a picture into the narrative? Thank you in advance Loessperson (talk) 14:33, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi Loessperson. Hopefully this and this will help you get to grips with theses processes. Yunshui ^雲_水 14:56, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Just pinging @Loessperson: in case their knowledge of Wikipedia isn't great enough to know to come back looking for a response. †dismas†|^(talk) 15:03, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Do Wikipedia policies allow for "community-imposed topic bans"?

We have an editor who does good work in many areas, but has some personal issues around one particular topic, regarding which his editing is significantly problematic. It's not serious enough to take to arbcom, IMHO. I'm just asking if there's any policy whereby an editor can be merely "topic-banned" by the community (as in, clear consensus), as opposed to a full "community ban" from all wikipedia editing (which would be overkill at this point - as I said, on other topics, he's fine). Can anyone direct me as to policy on this question? Eliyohub (talk) 15:17, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Hey Eliyohub. See guidance at WP:TBAN. The appropriate venue for requested such a saction would be WP:ANI. TimothyJosephWood 15:38, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Editing infobox

Please help me edit the infobox for Wuxi. For large Chinese cities are 3 applicable population figures (administrative boundary, metro area, and urban area). Please see List of cities in China by population and built-up area. I can't figure out how to add a third line for population for urban area which is 3,542,319. Muzzleflash (talk) 16:00, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Hey Muzzleflash. Looks like the parameters you need are:

| population_urban_footnotes     =
| population_urban               =
| population_density_urban_km2   =
| population_density_urban_sq_mi =

Hope this helps. TimothyJosephWood 20:58, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

Long, drawn out and as yet incomplete construction projects

Dear editors: Draft:Belfast Rapid Transport is about a series of connected transit lines that are being built a little at a time as funds are allocated. Some construction has started, but none of it is in operation yet. Is there a guideline or even an essay discussing at what point this kind of subject should have an article?—Anne Delong (talk) 16:16, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

• WP:CRYSTAL is the appropriate guideline. The gist of it is that future events should have an article only if they are almost guaranteed to happen (e.g. if those train lines have been budgeted for) or if reliable sources have covered them with a reasonable degree of non-speculative information. I have not looked at the refs in the draft, but they seem to be more than enough for the article to pass notability muster; this being said, maybe not all of the article is due for now.

How do relevant images get added to this page

My name is Faith Singer-Villalobos and I work for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) in Austin.

We would like some of our scientific visualization images to be added to this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_visualization We are a key player in the national advanced computing/scientific visualization space.

How would I go about providing you with the images and captions/credits?

Thank you, Faith Singer-Villalobos — Preceding unsigned comment added by Faith Singer (talk • contribs) 23:01, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

You can upload images to Wikimedia Commons, so long as you provide the necessary copyright release (which can be quite a hassle, if the person doing the upload is not the "creator" of the image). Once available there, they can be used in any article where they are relevant, in any language-version of Wikipedia. Which images to use in any particular article, and what caption to use, will be decided by a consensus of those editing the article. Do not expect TACC to be credited in each caption; the crediting will be done at Wimkimedia Commons, and will be seen by readers who click on the image. Maproom (talk) 23:45, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

As always Maproom gives good advice. Yet, I would like to add this: Doing it the right way is actually very simple and hassle free. Plesae read : Open-source Ticket Request System (OTRS) There is a template on that page framed with a black border. Just get the originator (or legal owner) of the image to fill it in and email it to Wikimedia Commons and of course upload the image there. Note: there is a big backlog on approving images because we are all voluntary. That will save you the hassle of uploading an image only to find it gets deleted because you have done something wrong.--Aspro (talk) 00:16, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Is the copy below allowed to be placed in Wikipedia? Thank You.

Infobox image not displaying

Hi team, I can't get any image to display in the "generic" Infobox that is contained within the page Tasman Bridge disaster. I have tried lots of different images, and only the filename (text) displays, never the image itself. The image I would like to show is this one ... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ae/View_of_the_Tasman_Bridge_from_Kalatie_Road_Montague_Bay_looking_toward_the_Powder_Jetty_over_Cuthbertson%27s_Boat_shed_%281975%29_%2816200189861%29.jpg

Islamic Azad Universty, Civil Engineering, Faculty Member | Temperature +48 Ph.D , Faculty of Civil Engineering , Najafabad Branch, Islamic Azad University I am PhD of Civil Engineering. I expert in executive projects as Climate and Sustainable Water Resource Management, Statistical Hydrology and Hydro-geology. I published more books and articles.Authors & Researchers can download my publications and Cite them to their manuscripts. If you have any questions about Sustainable Water Resource Management,Statistical Hydrology data, Hydro geology and Sustainable Climate, Please Contact me through below Email address " KAVEH_OAA2001@YAHOO.COM "

His research interests fall in urban hydrology and water resource management. These could be categorized in the following areas:

a. Global Warming, Climate Parameter Variability and Climate Changes in Urban Area. In this way, the effect of land use change and urbanization on rainfall, runoff, evapotranspiration and in general on Climate Change could be investigated. Integrated urban water management is very important in a changing environment. Due to this fact that adaptation to climate change is a new focus of IPCC, the new and optimum strategies in urban environment play a key role toward urban sustainable development.

b. Risk Analysis of Natural Hazards for Management and Insurance. These include flood, low flow, extreme rainfall, wind, water pollution and earthquake. Geostatistics methods and regionalization techniques help us to estimate the hydrological and physical statistics in ungauged sites. Innovations including applications of Univariate L-moments and Multivariate L-moments, Copula. for the parameter zoning and including the effect of dependency are welcome.

c. Developing New Drought Indices with emphasize on urban water management. Many drought indices have been developed for water management in dry periods. But, these indices have some deficiencies regarding types of included variables and their combinations.

d. Sustainable development of Water Resources using Water Reuse Artificial recharge modeling with emphasis on water quality along with constructed wetlands is encouraged to be investigated in depth. Surface Water and Groundwater Interaction could be studied using new software’s such as GROUNDWATER VISTA and GEOHYDROSPHERE.
