    Assistance in page

    Hello, I would like to know how to go about changing the wiki page from user: Earnest Diaz to a regular titled page Earnest Diaz

    http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Earnest_Diaz

    Earnest Diaz 01:42, 3 October 2014 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Earnest Diaz (talk • contribs)

    You have a few things wrong, and we will start with the big one Wikipedia is not a resume posting service. And so your content is not appropriate anywhere on Wikipedia and it has been blanked.
    On to your points more directly, the page you created is your user page where you can post a little something about yourself, primarily as it relates to your editing on Wikipedia.
    In order to become part of the actual encyclopedia, the subject must have been the subject of discussion by those not closely affiliated with the subject.
    If you are Earnest Diaz, you have a conflict of interest and should not create a Earnest Diaz page nor edit content about yourself. If you are not Earnest Diaz, you should change your user name so it does not appear you are impersonating him.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 02:04, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Problem with Arabic script templates

    I have noticed that at times that templates that use Arabic script which involves the script going from right to left will effectively capture text that is outside the double brackets marking the end of the template eg ([[Kurdish language|Kurdish:عمر سهروردى]]c.1144-1234). (This piece of code comes from the article Abu Hafs Umar al-Suhrawardi. Despite my best efforts I can't seem to cleanly get the template to stop capturing the birth and death dates that follow. So I had to artificially put in the c. to try and physically separate the dates from the text template. I can't believe I am the only one facing this problem and hopefully it is already addressed somewhere, but I couldn't find it. Thanks --Chewings72 (talk) 07:52, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    There is no problem with Arabic here. [[Apple]]s renders as Apples, and [[Apples]] as Apples. Note that both the links render the same, though the first link takes you to "Apple" while the second to "Apples". It helps when you want to use plural words. Rather than typing [[Apple|Apples]] simply type [[Apple]]s. So, you should put a space between the link and "c." to get it right. If you want no space and no eating up of the word by the link, use a zero-width space, U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE (​, ​, ​, ​, ​). --Fauzan✆ talk✉ mail 09:17, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks, I will give the zero-width space a try.--Chewings72 (talk) 09:43, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Fauzan Did as you suggested, but no luck. Same problem occurred. Try and add {{Unichar|200B|ZERO WIDTH SPACE|html=8203}} straight after ([[Kurdish language|Kurdish:عمر سهروردى]] at the start of the article called Abu Hafs Umar al-Suhrawardi. Unless I am doing something crazy, you should find that the text editor will move parts of the no space code in with Kurdish text.--Chewings72 (talk) 10:35, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Instead of linking in that manner, use one of the {{lang}} templates; for Kurdish use {{lang-ku}}. Am I correct in that this is a right-to-left writing system? If so, I need to make a change to {{lang-ku}} to preserve the directionality. I will also discuss adding text-direction isolation to the {{lang}} template directly. --  Gadget850 talk 12:31, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Chewings72, it will render properly even if it looks mixed up in the edit window. Just make sure the cursor is in the right place before you paste the HTML code. You can post in WP:VPT if you like, guys there know more about these things. Other than that, better use {{lang}} as suggested by Gadget850. --Fauzan✆ talk✉ mail 17:02, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Gadget850, yes it is right to left. --Fauzan✆ talk✉ mail 17:05, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I was pretty sure it was RTL, but I have not found a good reference yet. So: I added {{lang-ku}} tot he article, then updated the template to remove italics as they are not appropriate for this writing system, then I enabled RTL mode. This should resolve the issue. There are a lot of specific variants of {{lang}} and not all are implemented correctly, so let us know if you see issues. --  Gadget850 talk 18:25, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Fauzan and Gadget850 Thank you for your help in resolving this issue for me.--Chewings72 (talk) 06:30, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Heading / Name change

    The heading of the page '32 (Scottish) Signal Regiment' should be changed to '32 Signal Regiment'. We are no longer known as a Scottish Regiment. I have read through the processes for change, however, I cannot seem to find how to change this myself.

    Your help is greatly appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cameraface (talk • contribs) 08:02, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Please have a look at the list of the other Wikipedia articles in Category:Regiments of the Royal Corps of Signals. Most of those other articles have some qualification like that (not simply "British") in their titles. What word(s) would you suggest instead of Scottish? If I can find some online support for your suggestion, I wouldn't personally see a problem with renaming it (which is called a "move" at Wikipedia), and I would be happy to do that. ‑‑Mandruss (talk) 08:18, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Contacting Administrator

    Good Morning, I have tried to create a page, and was told that it can only be created by administrators. When I followed the link, the administrator said that he/she is on a long breal from wikipedia and that other administrators can review his past articles. Since I am very new to Wikipedia, please help me with who should I contact to get that page created (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?action=edit&preload=Template%3AUnreviewed-preload&editintro=Template%3AUnreviewed-editintro&summary=&nosummary=&prefix=&minor=&title=Daniel+Kanu&create=Create+a+new+article+directly)

    You have a draft at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Daniel Kanu. You deleted the tag which gave you a "Resubmit" button to allow you to submit the revised draft for review after the previous version had been declined. I have reinstated the tag for you. I suggest that before you resubmit you read WP:Referencing for beginners, and make sure that each reference is placed with the specific text which it is being used to support.
    You have also generated Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Daniel Kanu, which is not the correct location for a draft and is presumably a duplicate, so I suggest that you request its deletion by adding {{db-g7}} to the top of the page. Draft:Daniel Kanu is presumably another duplicate, but you can't request deletion of that because other authors have contributed. Hopefully someone will tidy things up when the draft is submitted for review. --David Biddulph (talk) 11:50, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    The draft is now at Draft:Daniel Kanu and the other draft pages have been deleted accordingly.--ukexpat (talk) 13:22, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    All of your contributions (except for your post here) have already been deleted in accordance with speedy deletion criterion G7, because you requested their deletion. No one can "delete" Wikipedia accounts, however. If you want to stop contributing to Wikipedia, just do so. Deor (talk) 10:34, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    It is not possible to delete user accounts, as all contributions must be assigned to some identifier; either a username or an IP address.

    All Wikipedia editors have the right to leave Wikipedia for good (ie, permanently). The usual way to leave the Wikipedia project is simply to stop editing. Your contributions remain in Wikipedia. If you wish to resume editing at a later date, you can simply start again by logging into the same account. Old accounts that have any significant edits are almost never deleted or recycled to new users.

    If you decide to make a fresh start and do not wish to be connected to a previous account, you can simply discontinue the old account(s) and create a new one that becomes the only account you use. Discontinuing the old account means it will not be used again; it should note on its user page that it is inactive— for example, with the {{retired}} tag —to prevent the switch being seen as an attempt to sock puppet.

    Editors seeking privacy per their right to vanish can have their accounts renamed and their user pages and (in some cases) user talk pages deleted. --  Gadget850 talk 12:11, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    (Sorry for intruding, but I need to ask this question) "Almost never deleted"? Does that mean that some are, Gadget850? Tharthandorf Aquanashi (talk) 22:19, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Need to move page, but can't...

    Hi, I am trying to change the name of this school *St George's School: A Church of England Academy

    The page title needs to become "St George's School: A Church of England Academy". I've looked all over but just can't find a way of doing it, any help would be much appreciated!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr-kennedy (talk • contribs) 10:42, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    @User:Mr-kennedy Follow the procedure described at Wikipedia:Requested_moves#Requesting_a_single_page_move. If you have further questions, I am here to answer. Bagnume (talk) 11:36, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello, Mr-kennedy. I have moved it, but not to the name you suggested: following WP:COMMONNAME I have moved it to St. George's School, Blackpool.
    The reason you could not find the 'move' button was that your account is not yet "autoconfirmed": to deter page-move vandalism, an account needs to be more than four days old (yours is!) and have made at least 10 edits (you have made 8, including this one).
    If you have an interest in the page, can I implore you to turn the page from a useless collection of information of completely unknown validity into a useful article, by finding and citing reliable sources for the information in the article? See referencing for beginners for how to go about that. --ColinFine (talk) 11:44, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
     Done

    I took the liberty of making the following additional edits:

    • I removed {{DISPLAYTITLE:St George's School: A Church of England Academy}}, which was added shortly before the move.
    • I changed the title above the infobox, since it should match the article's title (and it was misspelled).
    • I removed {{DEFAULTSORT:St George's School: A Church of England Academy}}

    I hope these edits are all appropriate. ‑‑Mandruss (talk) 09:29, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Creating new page for something which has a page but is redirected to a different page.

    Hi,

    I'm trying to create a page/article for the disease myalgic Encephalomyelitis , but when I check ed too see if it already exists I am directed to the chronic fatigue syndrome page.

    Any ME page would have many links to the CFS page, but as there are now differential diagnostic criterias for both illnesses I believe they should have separate pages. [1]

    Otherwise everyone who googles ME gets sent to CFS , which causes bad patient outcomes in hospital settings .

    How can I 'undo the page redirection and create a new one?

    Ps I'm new at this and was hoping to do a draft page slowly,

    Best regards

    Adding a picture in a table with background color?

Some of the info in this table have background colors, using the tool bgcolor=, and then a color, like lightgreen. I'm trying to add a column to the table with flags, however, on the corresponding row, the background color goes over the image.

    North Shields FC Wikipedia Page

    I have to say that I am absolutely disgusted at the fact someone was allowed to delete the historical statistics from the above page. Its OK for other clubs at our level to have them on but not us. I spent days compiling them and now they are gone stating wiki is not for meaningless statisitcs. I find the Manchester United football club statistics meaningless, but I bet I'm not allowed to delete them.

    Being a member of the North Shields FC committee I am frankly astonished that Wikipedia wouldn't be more supportive of growing football clubs like ours trying to get more information about our history out into the public domain.

    I can understand possibly removing the league records going back to the early 1900's but to removed club honours which are important facts about any club, not statistics, I feel is out of order. I am more than happy to clean up the page with any required references as was helpfully suggested in specific cases by other admins. Madworld1979 (talk) 21:02, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Hello, Madworld1979. Please calm down. Nothing has been lost: except in very rare circumstances (where something was a copyright infringement, or a libel) everything that has ever been in a Wikipedia article is still there in its history, and can easily be retrieved.
    There isn't a "Wikipedia" that "allows" you to do things: there are thousands and thousands of editors like you and me, and sometimes they don't agree about what should go into an article: this is healthy, and Wikipedia has ways of helping editors to reach agreement if they are having difficulty.
    In the case of North Shields FC, I don't know quite which edits you are talking about. But the way to proceed is to look at the page's history and see which editor removed the material that you think should be there, and start a discussion about it with them either on the article's talk page, or on their user talk page, and try to reach agreement. They are not right and you wrong: neither are you right and they wrong. You are just two people who at present have different ideas about how to make that article better. The fact that information of similar type is in other articles has no bearing on the matter: with four million articles, there are plenty that are not as good as we would like. It may be that it would be appropriate to delete the comparable information about ManU, I don't know. You are not "forbidden" to do so - but somebody else may disagree if you do. On the other hand, maybe the person who removed the information from North Shields would agree that it should go from ManU too.
    You should also read about Wikipedia's policy on conflict of interest: as a member of the committee, you are actually discouraged (not forbidden, but discouraged) from editing that article.
    Oh, and Wikipedia's sole purpose is to be an encyclopaedia: a neutral summary of information published elsewhere about notable subjects. it is no part of its mission to be supportive of any person, organisation or product, no matter how worthy. And it is very explicitly not part of its purpose to help anybody get information about themselves "out into the public domain": that is called "promotion", and is roundly forbidden. --ColinFine (talk) 22:28, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I support User:ChrisTheDude's deletion of material such as "Shields' first season in Northern League Division One since 1988–89 has so far got off to a good start" and "They will play their biggest rivals Whitley Bay on 1 November 2014". Wikipedia's content should aim to be permanent. It is an encyclopedia, not a streaming news service. Maproom (talk) 07:18, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I only removed a couple of inappropriate sentences, I think Madworld1979 is really referring to the removal of a large section of stats by GiantSnowman..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 17:53, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    @Brittlovesquincy: Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. The "error" you are describing is a tag that the user Fram placed on the page (you can see the change here). If you believe that the issue has been fixed than you should discuss it on the user's talk page that placed the tag or remove it if you are absolutely sure that there is no need for it anymore. Thanks, -24Talk 23:18, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Hello, Brittlovesquincy. It may not be strictly true that the article has no references, but it is effectively true, because none of the links in your "References" section is satisfactory. Every piece of information in an article (and especially an article about a living person) must be referenced to a reliable published source, and in most cases to one that is unconnected with the subject. You have three external links, not attached to any information in the article; one is to a video, which is a primary source, and so is of limited use in supporting an article; the second is to IMDB, which is not regarded as a reliable source (because anybody may edit some of the information). The third is to an announcement by the subject. Please read referencing for beginners, and find places where people unconnected with Brown have written at length about him, and published this in reliable places such as major newspapers. If you cannot find such sources, then he does not meet the criteria of notability, and it is not possible at present to write an acceptable Wikipedia article about him. --ColinFine (talk) 23:36, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    You can't really "undo" an edit, in the sense that you can't make the "view history" page show nothing, however you can "undo" them by clicking the "undo" button off to the side of the edits off to the side of the "view hostory" tab, but all that will do is make a new edit showing that you undid them. If they are your sandbox edits and you don't want them there, you can just click "edit" off to the side and clear the undesired text inside them.Cnd474747 (talk) 01:12, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    There is normally no reason to delete sandbox edits. If it was Wikipedia:Sandbox then the text has been replaced many times since then and "undo" would not work because there is no longer any text to remove from the current version of the page. You were not logged in when you posted this so I don't know which edits it is about. Why do you want them deleted? They can be removed from the page history in certain cases like if you revealed private information. PrimeHunter (talk) 11:23, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    backtracking nuisance requests

    I frequently get a notification by e-mail stating that somebody has requested a password reset. However, instead of my username it says: "Username:?" It looks as though someone is trying to gain access but somehow there is a connection between my e-mail address and some account that doesn't have a printable username. Is there any way to go from an e-mail address to all accts that use that e-mail address? I know that whoever it is that initiates these requests can't get into my acct, but this nonsense has been going on for two or three years. The IP addraess that starts this process is always some mobile site, often in Europe, occasionally in Canada...

    Help getting started making infobox templates for Cyber Threat Actor and other STIX entity types

    I would like to make an infobox template for cyber "threat actor" and some of the other entity types in the STIX data model from US DHS. It would enable better content on many pages in the Category:Cyberattacks. I'm looking for help getting started. I have specific questions below, and would very much appreciate collaborating with an experienced editor.

    Specific questions about making a new template:

    • A template for threat actor would fields in common with other templates, such as Template:Infobox person Is the best practice to just copy all those fields, or is there something like template inheritance? I see that the Template:Infobox criminal starts with a reference to "person": {{Infobox person | honorific_prefix = .... Does that mean that it is inheriting from "person"?
    • The STIX data model provides fixed enumerations like cyber threat actor type. Can we implement that in an infobox?

    I started a User:Jrf/Template:Infobox_cyber_threat_actor (broken) prototype of cyber threat actor and put in a request here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_templates; and I also tried asking in IRC.

    Besides answers to my two specific questions, if anyone is interested in helping me do this, I'd be grateful for wikimentoring (is there such a thing?)

    Group AfDs

    If you've got several articles related to a general topic and want to nom them all for AfD, should each article be nom'd separately or are they supposed to be grouped together? If the latter, how is that done? Thanks. SW3 5DL (talk) 18:21, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    @SW3 5DL: A difficult problem. When several articles are nominated in a group at AfD, respondents are likely to object if the articles aren't obviously parallel cases, with exactly the same deficiencies, quality of sourcing, etc. (It's very confusing, for the closer and everyone else, if responses start reading "keep this one and this one, delete that one, ...".) This would be easier to answer if you indicated what articles you have in mind; but in general, as long as there aren't too many articles involved, it's better to nominate them separately unless you're absolutely certain that the only possible responses could be "delete them all" or "keep them all". Deor (talk) 19:08, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I went back and double checked and they don't have identical information, and good point about the "keep this one/delete that one." You're right, it would be best to list separately. Thanks for that. SW3 5DL (talk) 19:14, 4 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Logo problem emanating from polish wikipedia

    I would like to fix incorrect information that is coming from wikipedia about my company The US company is www.cryonics.org When the search engine Google and others finds my companies logo it extracts it from the polish version of wikipedia. It is therefore using an old defunct logo and not the current one for the "Cryonics Institute" I can't change it because its all in polish and I am unfamiliar with wikipedia. This can be verified by anyone who checks my the companies web site. www.cryonics.org. How do I fix this so the correct logo comes up in searches? How do I fix and update the polish website if I don't even speak the language? I have had my tech dept fix the English version. Why cant we fix the polish version to match it? Any help would be appreciated thanks CI President — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.54.131.135 (talk) 04:15, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    This is the help desk for English-language Wikipedia. I can think of two ways to change what logo is shown on Polish-language Wikipedia:
    1. Upload your logo to Wikimedia Commons. It would then be a fairly simple matter, which I could do myself even though I can read no Polish, to edit the Polish article to use the correct logo. However this would require you to relinquish your copyright in the logo, which you may not be willing to do.
    2. Obtain the help of someone who can read Polish, and have them upload the image to Polish Wikipedia (while observing whatever copyright rules apply there), and then edit the Polish article. Maproom (talk) 08:20, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    The Polish article pl:Cryonics Institute actually uses commons:File:Cryonics Institute Logo.jpg which is already at Commons. According to the page history it was uploaded by Ben Best, president of the Cryonics Institute at the time, and he permitted a free license.[3] If you will you release the current logo with the same license then the file can be overwritten. This will automatically update the image in several Wikipedia languages using it, not just Polish. It may take some time before Google detects the image has been replaced. We don't control when that happens, and don't know whether they will display the updated version or find a file in another place. See Template:HD/GKG and note you can mark the image as wrong at Google, but we cannot say how they will react. The English article displays File:2014 Cryonics Institute Logo - 240 pixels.jpg which was uploaded at the English Wikipedia as a non-free logo. Commons doesn't allow that so if it remains non-free then the file would have to be uploaded to each language where it is used, assuming the language allows non-free logos. According to meta:Non-free content, the Polish Wikipedia does not. If they have to choose between no logo and an old logo with a free license, it is possible they prefer the old logo but I don't know Polish or their practices.

    Translation

    Does Wikipedia have an informal translation service for Wikipedia editors? Editors are having trouble with sources and need an Arabic-speaker who can translate one particular source in Arabic which it seems could support an important edit that has been much discussed. No suitable citations in English can be traced to back up the edit. This particular Arabic source does not have a Google translate facility, which is unusual and while it has been translated by one editor, his translation will obviously need independent corroboration. --P123ct1 (talk) 10:42, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Deleting a redirect with several revisions in its history

    Dear editors: I would like to replace the redirect Intel Capital with an AfC submission about this company, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Intel Capital. (The Intel article is overly long and has been tagged for break-up.) The redirect has a number of revisions, in which various categories have been added or removed. I have three questions: (1) Is it normal to add categories to a redirect?, (2) Is it okay to delete this redirect? and (3) If so, should I add the same categories to the new page? —Anne Delong (talk) 14:08, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    1. There are some categories that are designed to go on redirects, such as Category:Redirects from alternative names (populated by {{R from alternative name}}). It's pretty unusual to place categories designed for an article on a redirect, although in a case where the redirect is something that could be worthy of an article, I can see how it could make sense.
    2. The redirect itself is useful; it should probably be left in place until/unless it can be expanded into an article. You could just replace the redirect with the article once it's ready. (An administrator can do a history merge that preserves both the old and new history; this is required if you're using both the old and new history to build the new article.)
    3. If the categories accurately describe the subject, then those categories should be placed on the page because they accurately describe the subject. (The existing history of the page doesn't really matter, although in this case, it seems to be useful in that it's pointing out appropriate categories for an article at that name.) --ais523 14:34, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
    • Well, a history merge won't work here, since the two pages have overlapping history, and besides there is no content in the history of the redirect, so the simplest thing seems to be to make note of the categories, move the draft over the redirect, and then re-add the categories. I will do this. Thanks. —Anne Delong (talk) 22:26, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Major Kurt Chew Een Lee

    Simply put, the Marine Corps records and various sites available on the subject of the "first Minority" to be commissioned an Officer in the Marine Corps, are pretty much straight forward. In 1943, Dec. Wilbur Carl Sze [Chinese/American] was Commissioned an Officer. In 1945, Nov. Frederick C. Branch [African/American] was Commissioned an Officer. In 1946, Major Kurt Chew Een Lee [Chinese/American was Commissioned an Officer. While categories such as "Regular-Marine", " Drafted-Marine" and " Reserve-Marine" are important, I'm not clear how The "First" Title should apply when attempting to answer the question of " Who was the First". Additionally, it should be noted in his "Bio", Major Lee's Final Services and Memorial was held at Arlington National Cemetery Sept.30th 2014 at 11:00 AM, of which I attended. Personally to avoid confusion,for the 2nd and 3rd such designations it would be fair to say " was one of the first three "minorities" to be Commissioned. Then categories such as "First Asian/American"....."First Chinese/American"......"First African/American" may be applied respectively. I think though it is disingenuous to leave duplicate claims for the same designation. For example: Outright Statements like "First Non-White" applied to Major Kurt Lee is clearly FALSE. 

    " First Asian-American" is clearly False as well, applied to Major Lee.

    " First Chinese-American" is also False, when applied to Major Lee, given the above listed names and dates of Commissions. Then of course there is the Application of the Title who was the first "Ever" Minority to be Commissioned an Officer in the Marine Corps ? I think obviously given the Data available it must be assigned to Wilbur Carl Sze. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.62.109.122 (talk) 14:08, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    CONCERNING THE TERM MACEDONIA (FORMER YUGOSLAV REPUBLIC or VARDRSKA AS PART OF PRE WWII SERBIA)

    Hello, concerning the name of Macedonia (FYROM) and Macedonia (Region of Greece since 1913 and historic ancient kingdom of the Greek a.k.a. Hellenistic Era Kingdom).

    Having in mind that the U.S have recognized the Former Yugoslav Republic Of M. with its constitutional name, but Greece cannot accept this name for many reasons, I believe that Wikipedia should at least had have both names (I mean also the term FYROM)in the name of this state. The purely nationalist claims of this state against the Hellenic Republic and Bulgaria are evident in the relationships, especially versus the Greek side, since 1992.

    This area (FYROM) is Macedonia only in the ancient geographical term of the name, as is most of Greece, Turkey, Egypt, Palestine, Persia, and Afghanistan!

    I explain, this is because that was the expansion after the Hellenistic Era wars against the Persian Empire and after the Persian defeat during the death of Alexander II king of Macedonia and patron of the Hellenic Commonwealth-minus Sparta.

    The term Commonwealth is historically found in many ancient artifacts translated in English "ALEXANDER KING OF MACEDONIA, PATRON OF GREECE, ASIA MINOR AND ALL GREEKS MINUS THE SPARTANS TO ANENGE THE PERSIAN INVASION". Therefore, Alexander spoke Greek (Doric type dialect) worshiped the traditional Greek Gods Pantheon and had pure classical Greek education...just as any statesman in ancient Athens, Sparta, Great Hellas (Southern Italy) or any other area that the locals concerned themselves as Greeks!

    Yes, Skopje, the capital city of FYROM was a Byzantine fort in the 8th-9th century A.D. and about then, the Slavic peoples moved southern to this area. The alphabet that they use as "Macedonian" is about 85% the same with the Serbian and 95% same as the Bulgarian alphabet, two pure Slavic languages, inspired by the Greek but as inspired by the Greek is also the Latin / Modern European alphabet(s).

    This does not make the residents of this state "Macedonians" to any Greek, simply because...they are not Greeks but of Slavic origins! Keep in mind also that this area was part of the Kingdom of Serbia and then of Yugoslavia since 1941, the time of the German/NAZI invasion of the area. I haven't found any map of that era that has the name MACEDONIA in this area. Yet the official Serbian maps that I have found on the Internet scribe "VARDARSKA" in this former Serbian/Yugoslavian geographical part. This until 1942!!!! Since when did the term "Republic of Macedonia" is valid? Is valid during the Tito regime rise to power after WWII, purely because of the cold war politics in the Balkan area!!!

    These are a few hinds and ideas that Wikipedia in my opinion, should take in mind.

    Thank you.

    Using wikidata coordinates

    Is there a way to automatically include geocoordinates from wikidata? Specifically I am interested in this article and its corresponding wikidata page. bamse (talk) 23:12, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    The Wikidata coordinates can be pulled with {{#property:P625}} but that will merely display the coordinates with no link. The documentation for {{Coord}} claims "You can get coordiantes (sic) from Wikidata by having an transclusion to this template with no numbered arguments." However, it produces an error message in my tests on both this and other articles. Unfortunately it appears from Module talk:Coordinates#This template doesn't support wikidata! that the Wikidata property is not currently compatible with the English Wikipedia. PrimeHunter (talk) 23:45, 5 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    I've noticed that The Anomebot2 (talk · contribs) has, for a while, been automatically inserting into articles {{coord}} templates with cooordinates taken from Wikidata. I don't know how the bot is identifying articles that (1) lack coordinates and (2) correspond to Wikidata entries that include coordinates, but you might try asking User:The Anome. I've also noticed that some of the coordinates on Wikidata are not very precise (which is important in the case of individual buildings, etc.), and some are just plain incorrect. Deor (talk) 11:34, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Hi -- yes, that's a deliberate attempt to start the process of merging Wikidata coordinates into the {{coord}} ecosystem. I get the data by cross-referencing coordinates in Wikidata JSON dumps (see [5]) with articles listed in Category:All articles needing coordinates, with an extra safety check for valid coordinate templates and/or live web links to geohack being performed by the bot at run-time just before the moment of editing. At the moment, I'm just copying the data from the Wikidata entry into the template. The longer-term aim is that the template should eventually start pulling the data in directly from Wikidata if "source:wikidata" is specified, but there are lots of other issues that need to be resolved first before we can start doing this without breaking things in the rest of the coordinates ecosystem. At least this way, we have a {{coord}} template present where one was missing before, and errors in it can be corrected as needed, and hopefully eventually re-imported to Wikidata. -- The Anome (talk) 12:56, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Question regarding intra-article notability

    I am interesting in improving the Zouk-Lambada article. In regard to some of the later sections, "Zouk with different styles", "List of Zouk dance congresses", and "External links"; these are lists that include some relevant information and some irrelevant/non-verifiable information.

    For example, I think that the first Zouk congress is likely a notable event and could be moved up into the history of the dance. Listing every succeeding Zouk congress does not increase the value of the article. I would also like to either include some of the external links in the sourcing of the re-write (if the site/source is valuable) or remove non-value-added sources.

    My goal is to re-write the article to better align with WP:NPOV and the no original research/verifiability guidelines. Are there other content guidelines that I should be mindful of when working on the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.2.53.142 (talk) 05:06, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    The first thing I notice about this article is that it has no references at all. (Here are Basic and advanced guides to referencing). The approach would be to find what has attracted sufficient attention to receive "significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources" in relation to this dance; add references to these sources; and remove the rest. Nearly all the external links could be removed in line with this policy. It would also be good to check that everything in Zouk-Lambada belongs there and not in the Zouk article: Noyster (talk), 09:28, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

    Deletion of my entry about Michael Lenson

    Dear Wikipedia,

    A draft of a post that I created about my father, the artist Michael Lenson, was deleted today on the grounds that it violated copyright on another website, michaellenson.org. That is a website that I own. The content on it, because it contains biographical material about my father, must be replicated in part when I create new biographies of my father. So it is inaccurate, wrong in fact, to say that I violated any copyright when I created my entry. (Is it possible to create a copyright violation against oneself? Then there is the fact that the material on michaellenson.org is not copyrighted in the first place.

    I hope you will review my now-related entry in light of my comments above.

    I see nothing on the website michaellenson.org to indicate that its content is in the public domain. Therefore Wikipedia cannot allow anyone to use its resources to publish this content. You (the person posting from 174.57.149.143) claim that you are the owner of this content, but we have no proof. The easiest way to achieve what you want would be for you to place a notice on the web site stating that its content is in the public domain. (It would not work to state that it may be used in Wikipedia only – Wikipedia does not accept content on that basis.) Maproom (talk) 17:49, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    Note that even if you give the content into the public domain 1) it is highly unlikely that any of that content is appropriate to use in an encyclopedia article in a cut and paste format anyway, and 2) nothing from a site closely associated with the subject will establish that the subject meets the criteria for having a stand alone article. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 18:24, 6 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
