Should I create a seperate page?

Greetings! I have a question regarding the creation of a new page. You see, a school I am currently following up, has changed names and became a "different school." In this case, what would I do? Still, edit the page under the new name, or create a separate page?

URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Careers_High_School — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheAngelWolf (talk • contribs) 00:27, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

@TheAngelWolf: If the "old" school evolved into the new school, just change the name. This is done by "moving" the article to the new name using the "move" tab in the "more" tab at the top of the page. Then, modify the article to describe this evolution. However, this article needs some references, or someone is going to nominate it for deletion for lack of assertion of notability. See WP:N. You need multiple independent reliable sources with substantial coverage. If a deletion happens, the content might best be merged into the article on the host school. -Arch dude (talk) 03:27, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Sorting out archive talk pages

Is there any software that can sort talk page archives into a more chronological format? The order of the discussions at Talk:Ursula K. Le Guin/Archive 1 and Talk:Ursula K. Le Guin/Archive 2 is all scrambled (disclosure: I contributed to this mess). I was going to try to put it into some sort of of order, but got pretty discouraged. I’m going to add auto-archiving to the talk page so that the rest of the archives will be orderly. Meanwhile, is there anything that can help with the order of the existing archives? — Gorthian (talk) 01:34, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Is every veteran user Can transmit the draft To an article space?

? שים שלום (talk) 04:12, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Yes, most editors are able to move a draft to article space. But if this is about Draft:Yisroel Zev Mintzberg, I would advise against such a move, as it would then be in danger of deletion. It appears to have machine-translated, and is poorly referenced. I've improved the style of citation for the second reference, but the page range needs checking. It's unclear what is being cited in the first reference – is "Chapter of the Old City" the name of a book? Maproom (talk) 06:46, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

I do not speak English as a mother tongue, but I did my best, can you clarify which part needs improvement? Thanks שים שלום (talk) 13:10, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Sentence structure can be improved. For example, it appears to claim that his father was born at the age of five. (Most people would understand what you meant, of course.) Dbfirs 14:18, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

I improved the article and expanded it, needed more? שים שלום (talk) 15:05, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

I've improved the sentence structure and punctuation for you. Why is the book "she'rit Israel" not mentioned in publications? Was that the title?

You need to add better references, preferably with page numbers, so that a reader can easily check the facts. Dbfirs 06:38, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for your help and attention, I corrected the references, I have no more to add. I fixed the problem with the book,

will we need anything else before the article is published? sim shalom (talk) 18:45, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

The first reference appears to be to a book titled Head of the Mintzberg Family in Palestine. Is that correct? Can you supply its ISBN? The page range for the second reference is still wrong. Maproom (talk) 06:24, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

No isbn to this book, it's a private expense, what the problem whit the second reference? sim shalom (talk) 07:24, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

I see you've fixed the problem with the page range. Maproom (talk) 14:50, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

so it's ready? Thank you for your help sim shalom (talk) 15:30, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

I would advise against submitting it for review yet. Three or more references are generally recommended to establish notability. The draft has only two, and one of them (if I understand you correctly) is to a privately-published book. Maproom (talk) 21:35, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

You did not request a new review. Ruslik_Zero 06:49, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

User:Abhinpl/sandbox needs a lot of work before it can be accepted as an article. Much of its contents is duplicated. It lists 390 of his published works – that is far too many, ten would be enough. And, above all, it cites no sources. Maproom (talk) 06:59, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

The title I want to propose is already listed as the title of a book

The existing title Xenocide, gives an extensive synopsis of the book, which is totally unrelated to the article I wish to propose.

How do I navigate this issue? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephendsmith1967 (talk • contribs) 06:59, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

@Stephendsmith1967: Without knowing the subject of your article, the typical way would be to disambiguate as "Xenocide (description of your subject)". The book could then be moved to "Xenocide (book)" or left as the primary topic if it sufficiently prominent. (Please remember to sign your posts on talk pages by typing four keyboard tildes like this: ~~~~. Or, you can use the [ reply ] button, which automatically signs posts.) Thank you. Eagleash (talk) 07:12, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

@Stephendsmith1967: Eagleash covered it well, but for the gory details, look at Wikipedia:Disambiguation. In your specific case, I think you should create your new page as Xenocide (your dab) and let it sit for awhile to make sure it will not get challenged or deleted. Then, move the current article Xenocide article to Xenocide (book) and change Xenocide into a disambiguation page. You then have the "joy" of modifying all incoming links to the existing page. -Arch dude (talk) 16:33, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Can you give us some indication of the subject matter of your proposed article? Because if you're going to propose a neologism "xenocide", you're in the wrong place. --Orange Mike | Talk 01:46, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Formatting in a quote

Any idea why, in the quoted block in the middle of this article, the first line isn't in italics, and the rest is? The code all seems OK to me. Hogyn Lleol (talk) 13:13, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Hogyn Lleol, the text is sent through Template:Trim quotes which strips the surrounding quotation marks (even the '' we use for italics). I think you can wrap the text in <i></i>, but I think not using italics would also look fine. – Thjarkur (talk) 13:29, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

There are ways to get around the intentional stripping of italics but MOS:ITALQUOTE says "Don't use italics for quotations." PrimeHunter (talk) 13:40, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I'll just get rid of the italic code then. Ta. Hogyn Lleol (talk) 15:41, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Account deletion

How do I delete my account? This is far too wasteful on my time to input a simple bit of data. I have verified many erroneous items, but just don't have the time to waste trying to correct/input new data. I would have contributed money to the site, but 6trying to that was a bit too convoluted, and to invasive to my personal data just for trying to help out financially. So now having to waste more time just trying to remove/delete my account. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TIMEWASTINGONWIKIPEDI (talk • contribs) 13:44, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

It is not possible to delete an account, but you can just stop using it, and this amounts to the same thing. Any donations are to the Wikimedia Foundation, not to Wikipedia, but that organisation provides the servers that run Wikipedia, so donations there are appreciated.

I'm curious as to how you thought you were going to be able to donate to the Foundation without giving any information. 331dot (talk) 14:00, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Can we suggest to the Foundation that they allow anonymous donations? I can donate anonymously to Wikimedia UK through the Charities Aid Foundation. Dbfirs 14:11, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Anglo-Maasai Treaty of 1904

This is not the proper name of this treaty, which is the Masai Treaty or Masai Agreement. Masai was the colonial-era anglicised spelling, which should be used in this instance, though Maasai is the proper spelling. Maasai themselves wrongly refer to it as the Anglo-Maasai Agreement, and so do the Kenyan media, but this is NOT correct. The same applies to the Masai Treaty or Agreement of 1911. I am a world expert on this subject (studied it for my Oxford University PhD).

Wikipedia uses whatever the reliable sources use. See WP:COMMONNAME for details. You could suggest the move to the older name on the talk page of the article. Dbfirs 14:00, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

@Lotte Hughes:We value your input and your expertise, but not for the reason you would expect. Our editorial philosophy is to crowdsource using massive numbers of anonymous editors. It follows that we must require citation to reliable sources for all editors. Your expertise will make it trivially easy for you to find and cite these sources. If you are not comfortable with the mechanics of editing an article, then please make suggestion (with your sources!) on the article's talk page. In this case, even if consensus is to use the existing article name, your information about the official name should be in the body of the article. -Arch dude (talk) 15:02, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Accessibility Issue - Applying ARIA Attribute

Hello - I've been reviewing the Wikipedia site for tips on applying ARIA accessibly html attributes. I noticed an issue that does not conform to the WCAG Working Group. The attribute in question is aria-expanded.

Using aria-expanded to indicate the state of a collapsible element (link to article)
When authors use collapsible content, for example, to hide navigation menus or lists of content, the triggering link or button should indicate to screen reader users whether the collapsible content below is in the expanded or in the collapsed state. The aria-expanded attribute is used for this purpose.

On the Wikipedia site, this particular attribute is applied to collapsible content container, not the triggering link or button. Is this also acceptable? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KennySomm (talk • contribs) 17:06, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Hello, KennySomm. It's good that somebody is looking at this. I don't know (and I suspect most of the people who answer questions here don't know) about such implementation details: a better place to ask would be at WP:VPT. --ColinFine (talk) 21:52, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi,

I have noticed that an editor or two may have a conflict of interest. One user is HeathX (their contributions are here: [1]), while the other is this IP address Special:Contributions/144.163.63.135.

? How do I know my article has been submitted from my Sandbox

Hi All I am very new to Wikipedia and am trying to get an article reviewed. I placed it in my Sandbox and clicked on Submit Your Article for Review. IThat was on the 6th of August. I have no way to tell if the article has been submitted, and am not sure if it was. How can I tell? I did read that it may take around 8 weeks for it to be reviewed and a publication decision to be made orabout revisions or acceptance. How do I know if this is in process and I successfully submitted my article. It was about a new word: Reflexibility Can someone kindly advise me if I needed to take any further steps to submit my article? Warm regards Dr Liz Rix Dr Liz Rix (talk) 21:14, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Dr Liz Rix, you haven't submitted the article for review yet. You must click "Submit Your Article for Review" and then hit "Publish changes". – Thjarkur (talk) 21:18, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Reflexibility is not a new word. It was used by Isaac Newton in 1673 and by William Herschel in 1808, but you have a new meaning for it. Your submission is likely to be rejected unless you add WP:Reliable sources. Dbfirs 06:21, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Removal of content for alleged copyright information

The photograph of Terry Calvani on the wikipedia 13:46, 10 August 2019 (UTC)13:46, 10 August 2019 (UTC)13:46, 10 August 2019 (UTC)~entry for Terry Calvani was removed for alleged copyright infringement. Apparently someone thought that this photograph belonged to a university that used the photograph on one of its webpages. This photograph was the property of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and was used by the social media division of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer public affairs personnel in their revision of the Calvani Wikipedia entry sometime ago. The same photo was provided by Freshfields to others who wanted to use it in faculty bio pages, announcement of programs at which Calvani was to speak, autograph collectors, etc. How can that photograph be reinserted. Thanks you.Jdebusch (talk) 13:46, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

The photographer (or the copyright owner to whom the photographer assigned the rights) must upload it to Wikipedia Commons with the correct licence. Permission to use the photograph in various places is not sufficient for Wikipedia. See WP:Upload and Wikipedia:Image use policy for guidance. I see that Cc1982 claims copyright. Is this person the photographer? If the photo appears on a website that claims copyright, then please change that site to acknowledge that it does not own the copyright. What is the connection between you, Cc1982, and Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer? Dbfirs 14:05, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

• In order to use the photo here, the copyright holder (usually the photographer unless the photo was taken as part of a contract where the ownership was assigned) should follow the steps listed at WP:DCM, which involves some private emailing to confirm ownership as well as the free release of the photo under This Free License (which allows anyone anywhere to use, re-use, modify, parody, sell for a profit, or basically any purpose whatsoever). Because the photo is of a living person, policy requires that only free photos can be used. Crow^Caw 21:39, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi I'm sorry I made a mistake when listing this review initially in January, and I tried to rename it from Wikipedia:Peer_review/Digital dependencies and global mental health (previous name of the article).

Justifying table to the right of multiple sections

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask this, but I'm trying to place a table to the right of multiple sections, and I'm not sure how to do it. When I try to use float:right (as in here), the table just stays in the first section. Would appreciate some help, because I'm stumped here. :) Thanks, SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 13:07, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

@SpicyMilkBoy, the {{-}} causes the sections to clear, preventing overlap. You can see how it turns out here, the table does float, but then your neat small images don't look as good. I don't think it's possible to both float and clear, but I do think your table looks good where it is. – Thjarkur (talk) 13:29, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Geographic question

Hi Folks, How would you differentiate those two locations.

• Port a' Mhadaidh Argyll and Bute 55°38′44″N 5°28′46″W
• Port a' Mhadaidh Argyll and Bute 55°52′09″N 5°18′47″W

They are both locations in Scotland, both in Argyll and Bute. How would you differentiate them so that articles can be created. I must have look at this five times. The first one is exceedingly remote, middle of nowhere. Thanks. scope_creep^Talk 13:57, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

The first one is near Grogport on the east coast of Kintyre; the second one is shown as Portavadie and is on the west coast of Cowal. - David Biddulph (talk) 14:29, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

@Scope creep: Assuming that you have enough references to establish notability for both locations, and assuming that neither of then has a different common name, then you will need to get creative. I think David's research suggests that Port a' Mhadaidh (Kintyre) and Port a' Mhadaidh (Cowal) might work, with Port a' Mhadaidh itself being a dab page. The dab page would describe each article in the terms David used. -Arch dude (talk) 15:16, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

There might be an argument that one is the primary topic, in which case there wouldn't be a dab page. If Port a' Mhadaidh (Cowal) were produced, it would presumably redirect to the existing Portavadie. --David Biddulph (talk) 15:38, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

This is a long-running argument. I really don't like the concept of "primary topic" in this context because it makes life harder for folks who are looking for the alternates, so I prefer a dab. But you are absolutely correct: we do not need Port a' Mhadaidh (Cowal) as a redirect: just point to Cowal from the dab. The goal is to help readers who look for "Port a' Mhadaidh", however they do it. -Arch dude (talk) 16:06, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

If it were decided that one were the primary topic, there would be a hatnote from there to the alternative, hence people searching would get to the primary topic in one step, or the secondary in two. If there were a dab page, it would be two steps to either. I agree that the goal is to help readers who look for "Port a' Mhadaidh", however they do it. - David Biddulph (talk) 16:23, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

That is thorough explanation and its good work. Yip at the moment I'm putting them all in the list and when I go to create to create them, if they are non-notable the entry will be pulled. I'll keep this all in mind. Thanks. scope_creep^Talk 17:11, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Making my own page/ article

How do I make my own page on Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jude Cardozo (talk • contribs) 16:42, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

@Jude Cardozo: Successfully creating a new article is probably the hardest task on Wikipedia. It takes much time, effort, and practice. New users who dive right in to creating articles often end up disappointed and with hurt feelings as something they worked hours on (likely without a good understanding of the process) is mercilessly edited and deleted by others. I don't want to see that happen to you. New users are much more successful at creating articles when they first spend time(weeks or even months) editing existing articles in areas that interest them, to get a feel for using Wikipedia, the editing process, and what goes into creating articles. Usually such users start with small edits like spelling fixes, move up to more substantive edits and lastly work their way into creating articles. I would suggest that you pursue such a path.

However, if you still want to attempt to create an article, you should first read Your First Article and use the new user tutorial. Then, you can use Articles for Creation to create and submit a draft for a review before it is formally placed in the encyclopedia. This way, you get feedback on it beforehand, instead of afterwards when it will be treated more critically. 331dot (talk) 16:47, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Is the new logo the blue and green dotted X with the word Nacha in white? Dbfirs 14:33, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Template include size too large

I was on List of Adventure Time episodes and I noticed that the references were not being displayed. I tried tinkering with the page to get the issue resolved, but whenever I hit "Preview," I get the following message: "Warning: Template include size is too large. Some templates will not be included." Does anyone have an idea what the issue is? I'm stumped.--Gen. Quon (Talk) 14:14, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

It wasn't anything that you did. I checked and the problem has been present in the article for months. In short, there are just too many templates in the article. When the page is rendered and the templates are expanded, they exceed the size limit. The article needs simplifying or splitting. There are 327 references in the article. - X201 (talk) 14:40, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Additional: The cause of it are the viewing figures. Every single episode has a unique reference for the viewing figures. When the tables are drawn in from their respective articles it becomes too many for the software to handle. - X201 (talk) 14:47, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Looks like the addition of storyline writers also contributed to the issue. I excised those from the parent articles and now the page is loading properly. Thanks for your help!--Gen. Quon (Talk) 15:45, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Reverted my edit without a valid reason.

I have provided the data of rainfall in kerala 2019 from 1st june to 12 august from the official website of indian meterological department.The data was missing in the article of kerala floods 2019.So why was my contribution not accepted?Why was is reverted without a proper check up?

The valid reason is that you didn't provide any data, but wrongly placed a floating reference at the top of the page. References should support facts. See WP:Referencing for beginners. Dbfirs 14:38, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Why no video links

I thought that by adding video footage of a mountain bike trail in a town would help people decide if they wanted to visit that particular place, not sure why this was thought of as not helpful? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.247.12.5 (talk) 20:54, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

We don't add video links like that in the middle of the article. If a link is truly interesting, it can be added at the bottom of the page to an External links section. Also, calling something "amazing" is not neutral encyclopedic language. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 21:05, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Reverted Edit Despite Documentation - Copyright Infringement

Please review this reversion by CLCStudent https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Copyright_infringement&type=revision&diff=910545992&oldid=910545947

Documentation of failed verification of reference:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Copyright_infringement#Erroneous_1600%27s_Dekker_Reference_in_%22Piracy%22_section

I'd say removing a bad reference is, in fact, constructive. If someone who understands the history of 1600's England can say without a doubt, Thomas Dekker's diatribe against the Stationers guild proves that copyright infringers were widely known as "pirates" in that era, please explain it in plain modern English.

Removing a bad summary of misunderstood information is more constructive than leaving a confusing reference in there.
