Kendra Huard Fershee

Hi -- I just submitted an article called Kendra Huard Fershee for publication. It says it can take several weeks to get the article approved. But Kendra is running for Congress and the election is in a month. Can I somehow expedite the process? Thanks! Carolyn

In general, being an unelected candidate for political office is insufficient to meet Wikipedia's notabilty guidelines (see Wikipedia:Notability_(people), particluarly the section titled "Politicians and judges" for details). Also, another editor has nominated the draft for speedy deletion, using the justification that it is promotional and would be unacceptable in its current form even if the individual met notabilty criteria. Finally, we don't expidite the approval of draft articles to meet the personal needs of the article's subject. Deli nk (talk) 02:20, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

This stub is not much more than a dictionary definition and seems like a good candidate for copying to Wikitionary. However, I'm not familiar with the inclusion criteria over there – would this be eligible? TeraTIX 10:27, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

@Teratix: Check wikt:Wiktionary:Criteria for inclusion. If you think it fits, tag it with {{Copy to Wiktionary}}. Regards SoWhy 10:59, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

@SoWhy: Thanks! TeraTIX 11:01, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

@Teratix:, while I've temporarily tagged it for deletion (pending reliable sources confirming the word), you can follow what @SoWhy: says alternatively. Thanks, Lourdes 11:06, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

A question about Copyright violation

Hello,

I just discovered these files: File:Luz-Casal Estudio-Promo-17 0192-700x1050.jpg and File:Luz-Casal Estudio-Promo-17 1264-700x467.jpg.

This is clearly a copyright violation. I asked for its deletion in Commons, but do I also have to report this here, or the Commons users will do the necessary actions?

Regards, --Daehan (talk) 12:32, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Why 'clearly' a copyright violation? I understand that the picture was uploaded and licensed under CC0 1.0 by the author and copyright owner herself? 194.174.73.80 (talk) 08:07, 12 October 2018 (UTC) Marco Pagliero Berlin

@Daehan: Thanks for spotting this. Commons should handle it, as there are no local copies of the file on Wikipedia itself. TeraTIX 13:06, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

@Teratix: are you sure? I understand that some files are stocked in wp:en only because they don't have the Reuse rights to be in Commons. --Daehan (talk) 13:59, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

A file would be held locally on enwiki only if it satisfies the non-free content criteria, which obviously is not the case here. --David Biddulph (talk) 14:17, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

How to change the title of your name?

Hi:

I recently created a wikipedia for myself. My username is not what I want as the title of my page. I want my name as the title of my page. But right now (since the page has not been verified yet), the title shows my username. Can we change the title of our page? If yes, could you please help how to do it?

Regrettably we are unable to read the OP's mind to find out in what way he/she thinks the content of the page is "inacurate" [sic], but I notice firstly that it has no references whatever, and secondly that the organisation's name is mentioned eight times in the rather short article, always in full and emboldened (as is the one mention of a similar organisation), making for a rather ugly appearance.

I intend to debold all but the first mention, convert some of the rest to "the Fédération" or "the FCQ", and to debold and wikilink the other emboldened organisation. I'll leave it to someone with some knowledge of the actual subject to contribute references and re-edit the page appropriately. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.217.102.65 (talk) 18:10, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

Using IP while at work?

I got a new job a few weeks ago, and thinking of the significance, I've made a few edits (exactly five since 9/19) while logged out while at work. I was wondering if there is a way to disclose that those IP edits were me, so as to avoid any accusations of improperity (even if it's unlikely they would be traced to me?).

Also, I am a bit paranoid about logging into Wikipedia at my new job. I don't know to what extent they monitor internet usage - but I'm sort of reluctant to log in to my WP account at work, at least not while new... anyway, is there a way I can disclose that the IP address is an 'alternate identity' of my account? I'd like to do this by the books. If not, I can just NOT edit at work but sometimes you see an error that is screaming to be fixed. Does this make sense? I think this makes me sound suspicious but I'm really not! ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ^ᐐT₳LKᐬ 01:39, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

• For the Wikipedia stuff: AFAICT you cannot "reclaim" edits from an IP to an account, though you can of course leave a note on the talk page signed by your account. You can however request WP:OVERSIGHT (on the "I forgot to log in" basis). And editing while logged-out does not need to be disclosed as long as you are not doing it in a deceiving manner (e.g. participating to RfCs under different identities).

This being said... You seem to have a very wrong idea of how internet works. Assuming you are accessing Wikipedia over HTTPS (with the proper certificate), network monitoring by your employer can only see that you access Wikipedia, not what data you send there or which page you view, so they should not be able to tell apart when you log in, edit, or view pages. On the other hand, your IP could (maybe) be traced to your work computer, so if they know to look at Wikipedia contributions, they can find the corresponding timestamps and say "El Cid was really slacking off today".

The above assumes your employer uses standard network monitoring rather than in-computer techniques (such as a keylogger or a modified browser), which could record pretty much every single action of you, but I would be extremely surprised if run-of-the-mill employers used this. HTTPS is not invincible either and there are plenty of side channel attacks to recover supposedly-encrypted information, but cryptography is a full-time job, so the chances that a sleazy IT guy will steal your WP password from network sniffing are extremely low (even detecting that you log in would be nontrivial).

Misbehavior of the search engine

It is common that two redirects differs only by their capitalization and that the search engine proposes the miscapitalization instead of the right capitalization. For example, when typing "galois f" in the search window, the search engine proposes Galois Field, and not Galois field. This would not be a real issue if the correct capitalization would also be suggested, but this is not the case. This may be confusing for readers who know Wikipedia capitalization rules, and also for editors who try improving redirects.

I have tried to solve this issue by categorizing the right redirect with {{R from alternative name}} and the miscapitalized one with {{R from miscapitalisation}}, but this seems to not work, even after a few days.

What should be done for getting the correct suggestions from the search engine? D.Lazard (talk) 09:42, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

• I am not sure that is a "real" problem since clicking the link from the search box leads you to the correct article (via redirect). This being said, there is apparently something preventing multiple capitalizations from appearing in the search field, so that something could as well give the correct one. Maybe head over to WP:VPT if none answers you here (on the HD)?

I strongly disagree that providing both capitalization as search results would be better - maybe it helps editors fix redirects, but it certainly would not help readers searching for a topic to have duplicated entries. Tigraan^{Click here to contact me} 09:57, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

I also think it would be silly to show two redirects to the same page, or both a redirect and its target. The goal is to find a page and not to educate about capitalizations. If two capitalizations are different pages or redirects like Cat/CAT or Gold/GOLD then it's good that both can be suggested although it may only happen when some capitalizations are written in the search box. {{R from miscapitalisation}} is an English Wikipedia template and not a part of the MediaWiki software. I don't think there is any way to tell MediaWiki the preferred capitalization (apart from only having one capitalization). It would probably require a software change requested at phab: but I think the developers have better things to use their time on. PrimeHunter (talk) 18:46, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

I have now been added to the list and stopped getting the error message; however, I'm not seeing the toolbar that I was supposed to see. I wonder if you may have some advice for me. I'm using Google Chrome. --K.e.coffman (talk) 02:56, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

Deletion of User Page

I have requested my user page to be deleted, but not sure how look it would take? ~~ DiasporaCryptid (talk • contribs) 03:49, 12 October 2018 (UTC)

I see that you've twice added (but soon after removed) the {{db-user}} tag. I would suggest that you leave the tag visible, as that puts the page into the relevant categories for speedy deletion requests. --David Biddulph (talk) 03:57, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
