Anyone interested in mentoring me?

Reviewing other Romance author pages, I've tried to follow the same format/writing style. I'd like to find a mentor to help guide me in the correct way of writing articles in Wikipedia. --azure 19:46, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

Hi azure. Perhaps you've already found someone, but try Wikipedia:Adopt-a-user/Adoptee's Area just in case you haven't. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:17, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I tried to find the edit responsible for the above, but that was not me. Likely it’s another user who shortened their handle. azure talk × contribs 09:44, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like it was Azurerae. See also this Teahouse post and this one (which is probably related to their referring to "other Romance author pages"). Azurerae, please make sure that your signature contains a link to your user page and/or your user talk page - more information here.

Infobox Map

I notice some pages automatically generate a map on infoboxes like this. I wonder how I can do this on pages like this one. When checking the source, there seems to be no other codes/templates added except for the coordinates, which I already did. Anything else I can do to reflect a map on pages?Verbosmithie (talk) 05:47, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Verbosmithie: I've added (here) a map showing the location of the building in the Philippines—admittedly of little use, since we don't appear to have a location map of Cebu City itself. The reason that a more focused map appears in Cebu Provincial Capitol is that there's a Wikidata entry for the building, which contains its coordinates and automatically generates the map on the basis of OpenStreetMap data. Deor (talk) 16:10, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Deor: Thank you. So now my question is can I create a wikidata or is that something done by users with special permission? And how can I create the map that you just did? Any helpful resource would be much appreciated. Cheers. Verbosmithie (talk) 03:22, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Verbosmithie: I believe that anyone is free to edit Wikidata, just as anyone is free to edit Wikipedia. I've even done so myself on occasion, though I haven't, I think, created any new "entities" there. (I would advise reading the instructions on Wikidata, since some aspects of the user interface are rather counterintuitive.) My displaying of the map in the Rizal Library article—as the diff in my original reply shows—involved nothing more than adding the word "Philippines" (the name of a relevant location map) in the |map_type= field of the infobox, following the guidelines in the documentation of Template:Infobox building. Deor (talk) 13:26, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Deor Thank you very much. You've been very kind and helpful. CheersVerbosmithie (talk) 01:48, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Strangers (TV series)

There's 3 TV series called Strangers on Wikipedia in:

But there's 2 redirects both called Strangers (TV series) on Wikipedia too in:

Which both appear in search.

Is it possible to merge the 2 Strangers (TV series) pages into one, then either redirect them to one of the 3 TV shows, or the disambiguation section Strangers_(disambiguation)#Television?

Danstarr69 (talk) 21:12, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Danstarr69:  Done by Bkonrad, who changed both redirect targets to Strangers (disambiguation)#Television. Note that the redirect pages differ in the capitalization of series, so that both are useful (no "merge" needed). Deor (talk) 15:25, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Deor I noticed they were redirected yesterday. Redirecting pages is one of the few, relatively complicated things I actually know how to do by myself on here. What I didn't know how to do is merge things so they disappear, which is what I wanted to do as I can't understand why both of them appear in the top 10 search results when you type "Strangers (TV series), while pages like Strangers (1978 TV series) and Strangers (2018 TV series) don't, as they only appear if you type in the year. Both the 1978 and 2018 TV shows should appear in the top 10 search results, when searching for "Strangers (TV series)" in my opinion, as you might not remember the years they came out. It makes no sense why they don't appear, yet the 2017 series does.

It's like with The Royal which doesn't appear in the Top 10 search results when you search for "The Royal," yet The Royals (TV series) does.

Danstarr69 (talk) 17:41, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Danstarr69, are you referring to a Google search? Where things appear in one of those passes all understanding, though the number of times a page is visited certainly seems to have something to do with it. When I search for Strangers (TV series) on Google, the 2018 and 2017 series are the top two hits. When I search for the same string on Wikipeia, Strangers (disambiguation) is the top hit, and the three series articles are among the top ten. Deor (talk) 20:19, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Deor Nope. I'm talking about the search in the search box on Wikipedia. It seems to have changed slightly in the last few hours as only 3 results show up in the search box when I search for Strangers TV series, but still...

The Top 10 results when I search for Strangers are:

  1. Stranger
  2. Strangers on a Train (film)
  3. Stranger in a Strange Land
  4. Strangers to Ourselves
  5. Strangers into Citizens
  6. Strangers (2017 TV series)
  7. Strangers with Candy
  8. Strangers Almanac
  9. Strangers in the Night
  10. Strangers (Halsey song)

And the Top 10 results when I search for Strangers TV are:

  1. Strangers (TV series)
  2. Strangers to Ourselves
  3. Strangers' Thoughts
  4. Strangers on a Train (film)
  5. Stranger in a Strange Land
  6. Strangers to the Marsh
  7. Stranger to Stranger
  8. Strangers (Van She song)
  9. Stranger in a Strange Land (Lost)
  10. Strangers on a Treadmill

That's why I can't understand it. The search box clearly doesn't order the articles in terms of popularity, however it should at least put the type of thing you're searching for in the Top 10 results. Things like Stranger in a Strange Land isn't even pluralised, and things like Strangers (Van She song) has nothing to do with TV, so why do they appear in the Top 10 results when you search for the above two search terms?

Danstarr69 (talk) 22:07, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Danstarr69. Just a suggetion, but this might be something better asked at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) since it may possibly have something to do with Wikipedia:Metadata or some other technical aspect that they usually sort out at VPT. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:23, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

I have been editing some Portuguese football clubs in English and I have unfortunatelly and accidentaly destroyed the layout of the:

{{Navbox | name = Primeira Liga teamlist | title = Primeira Liga | state = autocollapse |listclass = hlist

| group1 = 2018–19 clubs | list1 =

Any thoughts on how it can fixed? I volunteer to fix but I don`t now how, or will wikipedia staff fix these type of layouts? Examples of what I have made can be found on the Lusitano Ginásio Clube and SC Campomaiorense in English.

Just login and click help, it's a direct messaging system, so the layout is easier to communicate than on Wikipedia @Tiara.jackson: --AmaniSensei (talk) 20:52, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Tiara.jackson. I'm not sure what you mean by "create a journal" but it doesn't suggest to me anything that we do at Wikipedia. You realise that this is one of the pages for asking for help in editing Wikipedia? --ColinFine (talk) 16:21, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Tiara.jackson: If you have been asked to create a bespoke 'book' based upon the content of selected Wikipedia pages, I should advise you that the book creation tool has not been functioning for well over a year now. I do know that a new tool is under development, but don't hold your breath! I think it's still possible to create pdfs of individual pages and then to use an external tool to merge them together. You can learn more at Help:Books. Hope this might be what you were after. Regards, Nick Moyes (talk) 16:40, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The journal you have been asked to keep will be a sub-page of your user page (like a sandbox). The instructions for your course are at your tutor's website (click here). Your journal will not be a Wikipedia article, but will record your progress in editing Wikipedia as part of your course. Ask your course tutor, or ask again here if you need further guidance. We could create your journal page for you, but it looks better if you create it yourself. Just click on User:Tiara.jackson/Journal and start typing to record what you have done.

Sound

How to upload sound(mp3) in wikipedia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tiruchengode (talk • contribs) 16:24, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tiruchengode, I believe Ogg Vorbis is the preferred format for lossy-compressed audio on Wikipedia. (See c:Commons:Audio for help.)
Whether you can add the sound file depends on what it is. If it's not a free cultural work, it will have to meet the non-free content criteria. (See this as an example of a file meeting those criteria.) If it does, you can upload it here.
If it is a free cultural work, or if you created the audio and you want to release it under a free license, you can upload it here.
Hope this helps. Eman235/talk 18:33, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Spoilers on Wiki pages about upcoming films

Why am I being warned about "vandalizing" the Once Upon A Time in Hollywood page? The other person posting is posting the PLOT of a film that isn't out until August! I want to see it fresh, and no one should have to stumble upon it in error. I'm being constructive, and not insulting anyone, or making the page unsightly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bourahioro (talk • contribs) 17:41, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Bourahioro: Hello and welcome to the Teahouse. You were edit warring to preserve your edit, this is not acceptable, please read WP:3RR. Regarding your edit, the plot of a film is generally added to the article about it as soon as it is known, either through someone seeing the film or a description being published in a reliable source. Evidently someone who saw a preview of the film put the plot in the article. Films have different release dates in different countries as well. If you don't want to have the plot of a film spoiled, it is best that you stay away from the article about it until you see the film. It's just the way it is. 331dot (talk) 17:48, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Bourahioro: See Wikipedia:Spoiler for the guideline to not delete spoilers. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood was shown at Cannes 21 May and already has 59 reviews from critics at Rotten Tomatoes.[1] PrimeHunter (talk) 19:24, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lost Draft?

So I'm a new user, not experienced ofcourse, but I need to create a page for the Blackstone and Burke center at which I'm interning this summer. I went through (I believe) the correct process of creating a draft, and have been waiting for someone to approve it or disapprove it. Anyway, I can't find the draft, and the draft does not appear in my edit history. Is there any way to find the page, check progress, or edit? It was about 5 hours of work that I'd like to get back. Thanks for any help. The page I tried to create a draft for is called "Blackstone and Burke Center for Law and Liberty"— Preceding unsigned comment added by KingryJason (talk • contribs)

cuyahoga river fire 50th anniversary events

My committee has written a Draft article entitled Robert Walter Jones JD, focusing on newspaper articles related to the Cuyahoga River Fire 50th anniversary which is being celebrated with major events in Cleveland Ohio June 21-23 soon. The draft was submitted beginning of March so we are hoping it will be accepted soon. Any edits that may improve the article greatly appreciated although some experienced editors have already reviewed it and it appears ready. This article makes accessible to the public relevant old newspaper articles from 1970-72 available nowhere else on the internet it seems. Thousands of people will soon be interested in this primary source information and accessing the Wikipedia page. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neuroctrkenosha (talk • contribs) 19:38, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: you say you want to focus on articles relating to the Cuyahoga River Fire, but your article is purportedly about Robert Walter Jones. This suggests that you are using Jones as a coatrack. The use of coatracks is disapproved by Wikipedia. Maproom (talk) 23:03, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Neuroctrkenosha. Just going to add that it's not really the purpose of a Wikipedia:Article to makes accessible to the public relevant old newspaper articles from 1970-72 available nowhere else on the internet. It might be OK to cite some of these articles as sources if they qualify per Wikipedia:Reliable sources, but Wikipedia is not really a free web-host for image or data files, etc. Moreover, Wikipedia doesn't even require that sources cited in its article be avaiable online; only that they be reliable and accessible for verification purposes. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:29, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The above comments are appreciated and duly noted and I emphasize that these issues are understood. The bottom line is a request for any editor, but especially those who may have an interest in the history represented by this article to improve the article with minor edits as needed. The committee involved with this article sincerely believe it is not a coatrack nor simply an archive for old newpaper articles as in fact the articles are archived on another site and the Wikipedia article just references it. However a Wikepedia article creates accessibility to history. No doubt. Neuroctrkenosha (talk) 20:00, 29 May 2019 (UTC)Neuroctrkenosha[reply]
Hi again Neuroctrkenosha. You keep making reference to some "committee", but Wikipedia articles aren't really created by committee at least not how you seem to be using the term. Moreover, a Wikipedia article is not intended to be for way to try and right some great wrong or let the world know about some great or noble cause; they're only intended to reflect verifiable content found in reliable sources (preferably secondary and independent) about subjects deemed to be Wikipedia notable. Articles are intended to be written in neutral voice and summarize what reliable sources have stated about their subjects and not everything which is true or even verifiable needs needs to be mentioned.
Articles aren't owned by their creators or their subjects as explained in Wikipedia:Ownership of content; so, even if your committee does manage to create an article, it will have no final or special editorial control over it. Content added to a Wikipedia article can be revised or removed by anyone anywhere in the world at anytime without prior discussion or approval as long as they do so in accordance of with relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines, and any disagreements over article content are going to be expected to be resolved through Wikipedia:Dispute resolution, etc. These are some of the reasons why a Wikipedia article might not be the best way to accomplish what you and your community seem to be trying to accomplish; you might be better off creating your own wikia or website, etc. where you and your community have more control over content if your goal is to present this information in a certain way as some kind of historical record so as to make accessible to others. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:58, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The above points are understood. The draft of this Wikipedia article has been reviewed and edited by many people (the committee) prior to submission. There are many people who feel that this article is highly suitable for Wikipedia. It is based entirely on historical facts and there is no agenda other than the Wikipedia agenda, bringing knowledge to the world. Of course we have disseminated much of this material now in many other ways and many of the committee will be participating in person in the history festival as a part of the Cuyahahoga 50 Neuroctrkenosha (talk) 13:51, 31 May 2019 (UTC)Neuroctrkenosha[reply]

Who is in charge of revising the lead paragraph to "Dooring" entry?

re: Dooring: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dooring

The descriptive opening paragraph to "Dooring" entry ought, I believe, be amended also to include doorings of other road users such as scooter, e-bike, moped, motorcycle, skate-board, & inline skate users, etc - ie other Vulnerable Road Users. It also should note that other motor vehicles including automobiles, trucks, buses and even light rail vehicles get doored, and indeed can break off the offending vehicle's door. Last, exiting motorists themselves can and have been injured or killed by their negligent egress from their vehicle into the door zone and path of on oncoming vehicle / road user.

I do not see an "edit" link preceding the dooring entry's introductory paragraph and assume it is up to the senior editors of the section to do so.

If this is so, how can I contact the appropriate editor or group of editors?

Or could you kindly forward this recommendation to them? [I can readily provide documentation for such non-bicyclist dooring collisions upon request]

Who is in charge of revising the lead paragraph to "Dooring" entry & How may I pass along suggested changes??

re: Dooring: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dooring

The descriptive opening paragraph to "Dooring" entry ought, I believe, be amended to include doorings of other vulnerable road users (VRUs) such as scooter, e-bike, moped, motorcycle, skate-board, & inline skate users, etc.

It also should note that other motor vehicles including automobiles, trucks, buses and even light rail vehicles get doored, and can damage or even break off the offending vehicle's door.

Last, exiting motorists and passengers themselves can and have been injured or killed by their negligent egress into the Door Zone from their vehicle into the door zone and path of on oncoming vehicle / road user.

Being a newbie, I assume it is up to the senior editors of this Dooring section to make such changes as I do not see an "edit" link preceding the dooring entry's introductory paragraph.

If this is so, how may I communicate these suggestions to the appropriate editor or group of editors who oversee that entry?

Or could you kindly forward this recommendation to them on my behalf?

Do images used in Wikipedia require credit and/or compensation? Consider Wikipedia page "Carex crawfordii".

The drawing in taxonbox for Wikipedia "Carex crawfordii" is a 1970 Dover reprint (p380) of the 1913 ed of Britton & Brown's "An Illustrated Flora of the Northern United States and Canada".

Somehow my IP Address has been vandalising Wikipedia

I always edit on my Wikipedia account (though I used my IP address before I created the account), so it is very surprising that somehow my family’s IP was used for vandalism. I got a notification from CLCStudent through my IP address (45.251.35.6) that I had vandalised the Wikipedia page on M. Muthaiah. Besides, this happened 4 weeks ago, but the notification came to me just now. I am the only one in my family who actually edits Wikipedia, so what is going on?? Has someone hacked my family’s internet? RedBulbBlueBlood9911 (talk) 07:14, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Quick links: 45.251.35.6 User contributions and User talk:45.251.35.6 OkayKenG (talk) 08:08, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi RedBulbBlueBlood9911. The box at the bottom of User talk:45.251.35.6 says: "Many IP addresses change periodically, and are often shared by several users." Somebody else probably had the IP address at the time. You got the notification today because it's the first time you viewed a Wikipedia page with that IP address since the message was posted 4 weeks ago. PrimeHunter (talk) 08:43, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, this is not something that you need worry about. Anyone checking the history of edits will realise that the vandalism wasn't done by you. The whole block of IP addresses from 45.251.32.0 to 45.251.35.255 is owned by K Net Solutions Pvt Ltd, and they allocate them to different people from time to time. If you switch off your router for a few minutes, you will probably be allocated a different IP address in the range when you reconnect. Dbfirs 09:18, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Copying source references from another article

Since referencing other Wikipedia articles is discouraged (WP:WPNOTRS and WP:CIRCULAR), does this also imply that reusing sources cited by another Wikipedia article - without having verified these sources by yourself - is considered bad practice ?

Context: I'm compiling a list of cardinals of the 1124 papal election (in my sandbox), but there is some supplementary (and contradictory) information available on the articles of the 1118, 1119 and 1130 papal elections. Since I do not have access to the sources referenced by those pages, I'm not sure what to do with some notes I'd like to take over/point towards. -- Kwakeroni (talk) 08:47, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Kwakeroni. Reusing the sources of other Wikipedia articles is certainly encouraged, but as you thought SAYWHEREYOUREADIT indicates that you shouldn't cite sources that you haven't consulted yourself. I'm not sure the best way to proceed on this one. You could try asking at the talk page of the article you want to take the reference from; or as WP:REX. --ColinFine (talk) 10:23, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, ColinFine. I overlooked SAYWHEREYOUREADIT and wasn't aware of WP:REX, so that's very useful information. I'll try something, maybe the secondhand source idiom, and see what feedback the draft review brings. -- Kwakeroni (talk) 07:40, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Identifying reliable sources

Hello all. I am familiar with the policy in general but there are still questions that I can't find the answers on the related pages. I have noticed that some sources/contents are removed from the pages with the edit summaries like "predatory publishing", "not a peer-reviewed study", etc. But how can we find out whether a source/study is predatory or peer-reviewed? Puduḫepa (talk) 08:55, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Puduḫepa: That is a complex issue, which does not have a clear-cut answer. Even experienced editors can disagree. If you want to get opinions about a specific situation, you could try asking at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard.--Gronk Oz (talk) 09:54, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Gronk Oz. But there should be a general rule, IMO. Puduḫepa (talk) 11:24, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There is more information at identifying reliable sources, Puduḫepa. But "general rules" don't work very well in Wikipedia: we need them as guidelines, but individual cases are decided by consensus. --ColinFine (talk) 12:34, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There are various lists of journals that use Predatory publishing. It's probably a good idea to check sources against something like Beall's List or Cabell's blacklist. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 14:54, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How to control disambiguation?

I've created a page Ray_Cooper_(singer-songwriter) but when anyone searches for Ray Cooper they are taken directly to Ray_Cooper who is only one of four people of that name with pages. There is a disambiguation page for the name Ray Cooper which lists the four entries.

If I search for Ray Wilson then I get taken directly to the disambiguation page for the name Ray Wilson.

How can we have a search for Ray Cooper go direct to the disambiguation page for Ray Cooper?

I think it may require renaming the page for Ray_Cooper as Ray_Cooper_(Percussionist) but I'm not sure how to rename another page.

Could someone help or advise please?

Tomp-uk (talk) 10:35, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Tomp-uk. It depends on whether or not there is a primary topic, i.e. that it is most likely that anybody searching for the name would mean that one. In that case, the article about that topic should have the name, with a hatnote (as is currently the case for Ray Cooper). If not, then the primary title should be for the DAB page (or redirect to it), and all the individual articles should have a distinguishing phrase in their titles.
Whether or not there is a primary topic is an editorial question: sometimes it's obvious; sometimes there can be lengthy discussion. I suggest opening the question on Talk:Ray Cooper, but mentioning it on Talk:Ray Cooper (disambiguation) (which hasn't yet been created), with a wikilink to the main discussion.
The general reference for this is WP:Disambiguation. --ColinFine (talk) 13:13, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to talk about this article as an example: 2013 UEFA European Under-17 Championship . Regarding the Match Officials section, should the names that currently don't have a link on purpose, be red linked or leaved as they are? Which would be the more correct way? The same, talking about the Goalscorers section. Thanks! --LV1000 (talk) 11:01, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I understand that this has something to do with the notability criteries but there are no special criteries for math officials. Based on the overall criteries, it seems as they shouldn't be linked. Is that right? --LV1000 (talk) 11:57, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, LV1000. You are right. You should only ever wikilink subjects which have or could have articles written about them - which means, subjects that are notable. The special criteria for notability of different kinds of subjects are extra: the basic criterion (in GNG) is that several people, wholly unconnected with the subject, have chosen to write at some length about the subject, and been published in reliable places. Unless that criterion is met, or seems likely to be met, don't create a redlink. --ColinFine (talk) 13:16, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

German Wikipedia community insists on keeping racist blackface photo on page

Hey all, I have a problem and I don't know who to ask for help. I recently came across this page on the German Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Knopf_und_Lukas_der_Lokomotivführer It's about the children's book Jim Button. The title image is of a boy in blackface, portraying the titular character. I find it disturbing that an image like that could be a title image on a wikipedia page in 2019. If you know German, you'll find this discussion illuminating: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diskussion:Jim_Knopf_und_Lukas_der_Lokomotivführer#Blackface_im_ersten_Bild There's a debate about whether or not blackface is acceptable and apparently the consensus of the community is that it is. I obviously couldn't disagree more and I think the image should be taken down immediately. I edited the page three times and each time the edit was reversed. I raised this issue on Twitter and asked other people to edit the page so it becomes clear to the community that this is unacceptable. Some did follow my request but now the page is locked to prevent 'vandalism'. This racist image has to be taken down. If possible, please help. Best, Zitronia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Zitronia)

I'm sorry, Zitronia, but each language Wikipedia is a separate project, and en-wiki has precisely zero authority over de-wiki. Irrespective of the merits of the issue, this is not on topic here. --ColinFine (talk) 14:36, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Please be aware that Wikipedia is not censored, so the inclusion of racist images is not on its own problematic. There are images of blackface in our English article about blackface, for example. The issue is whether it is appropriate or not in this particular case. I happen to agree with you that the image in the German article is a gratuitous use of blackface. However, the way to effect change on Wikipedia is to discuss differences of opinion and try to reach consensus. Soliciting other people on Twitter (or elsewhere) to edit war in favor of your preferred version of the article, as you have done, is about the worst way to attempt to get what you want. Peacock (talk) 14:53, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response. The German wiki community is notoriously dismissive of concerns like this, that is why I reached out to people on Twitter. At the very least the discussion has now been resurrected and continues. Best, Zitronia -- Zitronia 15:36, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Teahouse questions aren’t necessarily answered in the order they’re asked; sometimes it takes time for someone to come along and decide to take a crack at answering a particular one. Your question wasn’t really a question per se, but more like a request for a personal evaluation. Sometimes the best indication of how well you’re editing is WP:SILENCE; if other editors are filling up you user talk page with warnings or other notifications, then you’re probably doing fine. If your edits aren’t being reverted in mass, then again your probably doing fine. While it’s nice to be told you’re doing a good job every now and then, not receiving any complaints about your edits is just as good. FWIW, apparently there used to be Wikipedia:Editor review, but no longer. Perhaps the closest thing is WP:ORCP because if there are any problems with your editing at all, someone’s sure to point them out if someday you decide to try to become an administrator. — Marchjuly (talk) 14:32, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Template and Articles, need help because I'm a beginner

Hello, I started a Japanese Voice Actor English page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoshiki_Nakajima and it was deleted, somehow it came back again this month. I was wondering why the article deleted, it was still on progress and that Japanese Voice Actor is notable Voice Actor in Japan with leading roles. Now I'm afraid to start another English page for other Japanese Voice Actor.

I also confused how to change the template on the article. There are few articles without template and I want to edit the articles but have no idea how to use the template properly. I tried to make the template but the result are irregular and at the end I cancelled the template. - — Preceding unsigned comment added by Juliet6884 (talk • contribs) 16:07, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Juliet6884: Hi welcome to the Teahouse! Looking though Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yoshiki Nakajima and Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2018 July 26 it looks like initially Yoshiki Nakajima did not meet the notability criteria (this one specifically Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Entertainers also known as WP:ENT). However, the reason why its back was because during the few months while the article was deleted he ended qualifying for notability. So, as long as the other Japanese article meets WP:ENT it terms of notability I think you can create that article. Also, I will be more then happy to help you with the template, what exactly are you looking to add to it? You could also look at Template:Infobox person for help with the template. Hope you find this helpful! OkayKenG (talk) 19:41, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merlin04, WP:G1 does not apply. The criterion specifies that it does not apply to pages in userspace. To me it looks like test edits which are an acceptable use of userpace so WP:U5 wouldn't apply. If you think it is a problem, maybe ask them what they are doing. If you think WP:U5 applies you can add {{Db-u5}} to the top of the page. ~ GB fan 16:51, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

WIKIPEDIA article on The Aerodrome, a former music hall in Schenectady, New York

Is it possible to add some information to Aerodrome entry as described above?...our band (a hard Rock trio named "BOO", from the Albany/Schenectady area, was the only band the Aerodrome hired as a house band. We played there six weeks. We were very popular with the local crowd, and as a result had a very large local following. We closed out our gig the week before Zep came to town. I could provide more specificity and a longer or shorter recounting. Is there anyone this might reach that can say yes or no to someone like me wanting to add info to a WIKIPEDIA entry. 18:14, 29 May 2019 (UTC)2604:6000:FF93:3B00:7DC6:C0AD:1DF4:3994 (talk)

Hi, IP editor. The material you wish to add to the Aerodrome article needs to be from a Reliable "secondary" or even "tertiary" source. You and your bandmates, manager, friends, booking agent, PR person, website, Facebook, Youtube etc. are "primary" sources, and, by definition, not WP:Reliable sources. If you have material to add which is not of a promotional nature, you may add it ONLY if it comes from Reliable sources. See: WP:Referencing for beginners.

I see that some of the images you added like this one were removed, while some like this were not removed from the articles you added them to, you can see the rationales on the articles' history pages. Anyone can revert anyone else's edits on Wikipedia, so the best you can do is try to follow the guidelines at WP:IMAGES and WP:IMAGEPOL. The guidelines are subjective -- if your image was removed and you're sure that it meets those guidelines, you can try to explain why you think it meets the guidelines on the article's talk page, and if you've been around long enough to be confident about all the wiki policies you can try to add it back yourself. --Habst (talk) 19:29, 29 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If there already exists an article on this person, news reports of his alleged crime may be used as sources of material on the case to be added to the existing article, but it is WP:TOOSOON to have an article on the case, no matter how sensational it may seem.

Daddy Maxfield

I had posted an article "Daddy Maxfield" several years ago, it was recently marked or Speedy Deletion" copyright infringement! The copyright infringement doesn't exist, as it was a band name, as well as song title that was sighted. If the artist wrote the song title, how is that copyright infringement, "G12? There are copies of the song available online, from Amazon to eBay. Perhaps an editor was carried away (Justlettersandnumbers). It's not a peacock article, as the song has been playing for twenty years in the Northern Soul Dance Movement, U.K. Sweden, etc. There several Platium albums for work on Joan Jett's recordings, The Monkees, as well as songwriting credit with Brian Wilson, etc. "It's Going To Be A Punk Rock Christmas" receives Radio, etc. every year since it's release, Christmas '77 (the song is uploaded at YouTube from various Countries, World Wide). GuitarStudio100 (talk) 02:58, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Daddy Maxfield wasn't deleted for copyright infringements. There's a message on your talk page alleging copyright infringement (from an IP editor) which is confusing, because it's the same day of deletion, but that's not the deletion reason given. If you follow the (red) link to the deleted article page you'll find: "Expired PROD, concern was: Orphaned since 2011, presumably uncited since then, obvious peacock article, and covers a band which appears to fail WP:N".

Basically that means that someone proposed it for deletion (WP:PROD) because they felt the article did not meet our notability guidelines at WP:N, lacked citations (WP:CITE), and was promotional in nature, and nobody objected to the deletion. It doesn't appear you were notified of the WP:PROD.

Deleted PRODS can be restored if you ask at WP:REFUND, but if it is restored, and those problems do exist, it is quite possible it will be nominated for deletion again - so you might want to consider working on it in draft space and submitting it through the WP:Articles for Creation process unless you are confident those issues and the alleged copyright infringement of https://picclick.com/Daddy-Maxfield-ive-Always-Been-In-Love-With-333086805355.html do not apply. -- Begoon 04:21, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

GuitarStudio100, Begoon has already said most of what's to be said here – thank you, Begoon! The PROD was placed by Gimubrc, for the reasons given above. The page can be restored on request, just say the word! However – since it was pretty promotional in tone and entirely without references – it is likely to be either moved to draft space or nominated for deletion. A good first step would be for you to clarify whether you have any personal or professional connection to the topic. The G12 speedy nomination was (correctly) declined before the page was deleted and copyvio from that source is not a concern. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:34, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'd also like to echo Begoon's point above: if we are to recreate the page, it should be edited in draft space to add references and remove promotional language, and submitted through AfC for approval by an experienced editor. Gimubrc (talk) 13:35, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Something's fishy here. Based on the poor English, the person typing the request above isn't the same person who wrote this article. Looking at the editing history, and putting two and two together, I'm going to guess it's a shared account based in India.

This article needs attention from an expert

OK, it was actually the page Corrosion Engineering that first brought my attention to this "issue" but I have seen other instances. Not sure what can be done or how it can be rephrased. I have come to realize on Wikipedia that we need to chill, grow a thick skin and not take things personally but sometimes it is not easy. Corrosion engineering article start was written by a friend of mine who has a masters degree from a world class university on the subject. In the early days the article had the template " Needs attention from an expert". Rightly on the talk page he called it harsh. I have had similar comments on some of my articles. I think there is a difference between expert on the subject matter and expert on Wikipedia formatting and styles etc. Sorry for rambling - needed to say something and not sure anything can be done anyway. GRALISTAIR (talk) 13:38, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that frequently, experts on content come to Wikipedia to right great wrongs (myself included) and are rebuffed because they have no concept of Wikipedia rules. Some adapt. Others leave in disgust. See Dog training for recent example. More careful wording of article tagging might help a bit, but there will still be those people who are so sure they are right that they are deaf to this-is-how-we-do-it responses.

How to add a title?

Hi! How do you add a title in the sandbox? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Serena1996 (talk • contribs) 14:58, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Serena1996, what sort of title do you want to create? If you mean a heading, you can add headings by using equals signs, like this: === This is a heading === which generates:

This is a heading

You could also use only two equals signs on either side to get a higher level heading. StudiesWorld (talk) 15:03, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The title is generated by the location of the article e.g. User:Mh4011/sandbox is the title of you sandbox article because that is where it it located. Its in your user space. So when your draft is ready and is moved to article space, it will probably have the title Demographics of the Middle East and North Africa - X201 (talk) 15:05, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@CaptinSuperKitten: Every photo and every article are different, so it depends on the context. Until you get a sense of what works and what doesn't, you should post this question on the talk page for each article you are looking to add an image to.

Why were contributions stricken?

I just noticed my and some others' comments here were struck through in the edit history. Why does that happen? TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 22:22, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It can happen when you edit a page which contains something that needed to be later removed and deleted or suppressed. It doesn't usually mean that you added the text, just that the revision of the page already contained it. Due to the nature of deleting things, no one's probably going to go into details about what was removed, but the policies should give you some ideas. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:30, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think in this case it was an email address. Eman235/talk 23:28, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Strange - I see my responses to the queries are still there, but the strike history makes it incorrectly appear they were deleted. I guess no biggie. TimTempleton (talk) (cont) 00:15, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Timtempleton: Yes, your questions or replies still remain in the current version of the page. But those old revisions in which you added them have been suppressed. Let's see an example (in chronological order, opposite to what Wikipedia page history shows):
  • in the revision 1000 Sophie asks a question;
  • in the revision 1001 Alice writes where Bob lives;
  • in the revision 1002 John replies to Sophie's question;
  • in the revision 1003 Taylor comments on John's answer;
  • in the revision 1004 an admin deletes what Alice wrote to protect Bob's privacy.
Then the admin suppresses revisions with sensitive data, i.e. 1001 through 1003.
  • revision 1000 Sophie asks a question;
  • revision 1001 Alice writes where Bob lives;
  • revision 1002 John replies to Sophie's question;
  • revision 1003 Taylor comments on John's answer;
  • revision 1004 an admin deletes what Alice wrote to protect Bob's privacy.
Now you can see the revision 1004 (or later) with Sophie's question, John's reply and Taylor's comment, but you can't see any revision with Bob's private address. Among those, you can't see the revisions in which John and Taylor added their contributions, because if you could, you would see Bob's data which needed protection.

moving a portion of an article from my userspace to an article

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but is there something special I need to do when moving a draft from my userspace to the actual article. I found an article I wanted to improve but I didn't want to have the article being edited for long periods w/ incremental, incomplete updates. So, I've been putting it together in my userspace. Now I've got a section completed and I want to know if I should just copy everything into the the article, or is there some better way to do it that preserves the history of its creation on my end? Sorry if this doesn't make sense! Let me know if I need to rephrase anything.

Dkallen78 (talk) 01:57, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dkallen78. I think you might find WP:RUU and WP:PATT helpful. Wikipedia content is licensed in such a way that generally only proper attribution is required when copying content from one page to another; this sorts preserves a record of what came from where and when just in case anyone questions it source later on.
  1. If the content you created in your sandbox is 100% original, then you can probably move it without anything other than an edit summary explaining why you're making the edit.
  2. If the content you're going to copy-and-paste back into the article only came from that particular article, then extra attribution is not really needed since your edit will appear to be just like any other edit made to the article and attribution will be preserved.
  3. If the content includes content originally created by others for some other article, you should add an attribution to that other article to your edit summary.
Whenever you copy entire articles or parts of articles which you did not create into to your user sandbox to work on, you're supposed to provide proper attribution to the source of the content; if you didn't do that this time around, you can make a dummy edit to your sanbox if you want just by adding a link to the article and the version you copied into your sandbox. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:25, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Draft Article Rejection

Hello,

My name is Caitlin Cox and I am a student at the University of Sydney and I am currently doing a subject about writing for Wikipedia. I submitted a draft article for review and it got rejected based on the grounds that it sounded too much like an essay (which I can easily fix) and that the page already existed. However I chose this topic from a list of Wikipedia requested articles and I checked and this page doesn't exist. I don't know how to change it to make it more original. I really want to move it into the main space. Thanks so much, Caitlin

While we can't give you legal advice here in the Teahouse, I can say that since that image was licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license, you can probably be safe using it by just crediting the person or organazation who made it somewhere on the webpage / book you want to use it in; in this case you would credit it as a map by the " IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, species assessors and the authors of the spatial data".

Newly created accounts

Hey, Teahouse folks,

Not a new editor but I have a question and so many editors circle by this page, I hope someone can provide me with a quick link. I've come across a list of newly created accounts which I sometimes scanned to see if there were any username issues. But I can't find it any more. I've looked at Special:SpecialPages where I thought it was located but I can only find a general active users list (which is organized alphabetically, not chronologically). Can any of your wide circle of helpers here recall where new accounts list is located? If so, many thanks!

P.S. I use to hang out here quite a lot years ago when I was a new editor and, frankly, I probably would have quit editing if it wasn't for the patience and help of regulars here.

Hacking DTM pages

Hi TheriusRooney. The Wikipedia Teahouse was set up to be a friendly place for people to come and ask questions about Wikipedia; so, (1) there's no need to WP:SHOUT, and (2) there's no need to insult anyone. If you've got a question about a particular article or edit, you'll probably find someone whose more than happy to help figure things out is you can just ask in a WP:CIVIL manner. It would also help if you could provide a link or at least the name of the article you have a question about. From looking at your contibutions history, I'm going to guess that DTM means Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters. I'm also not sure what you mean by "hacking" because there's really no need to "hack" a Wikipedia article because they can pretty much be edited by anyone from anywhere in the world at anytime. Perhaps you mean a disagreement over article content between you and some other editor or editor(s)? -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:28, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You can find more aliases and more templates with related functionality at the {{Reply to}} template description page. Happy editing! --CiaPan (talk) 06:18, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Another option to pinging is Template:Talkback. Just for reference, some editors really don't like to get pinged and are not shy about letting others know about this dislike; they may've even set their preferences to not receive any pings at all. So, try not to overdo it; if someone doesn't respond right away, give it some time. If they still don't respond, then perhaps they don't want to, are thinking about how to respond, or have their preferences turned off. Try not to be the person who stands at the counter who hits the bell over and over and over and over again to try and get someone's attention. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:25, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How to create the wikipedia page

Hi,

How should I create the page for leading builder in India?

Please help me with this.

Thanks, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Viveksocial (talk • contribs) 07:00, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Viveksocial: Hello and welcome to the Teahouse. Successfully creating a new Wikipedia article is probably the hardest task on Wikipedia; it's even more so if you are associated with the subject you are writing about; I take "Vivek social" to mean that you represent a company called Vivek. If so, it is best that you not attempt to write about your company. This is what we call a conflict of interest. You would also be a paid editor and must comply with that policy per Wikipedia's Terms of Use. You will also need to change your username as usernames cannot be that of a company or position. You may change your username by visiting Special:GlobalRenameRequest or WP:CHUS.
You should not attempt to write about the company because, unlike social media, Wikipedia is not interested in what an article subject(or its representative) wants to say about itself. Wikipedia is only interested in what independent reliable sources state about article subjects that meet Wikipedia's special definition of notability; notable companies are defined at WP:ORG. Wikipedia is not for merely telling about a company; that should be done on social media or the company website. 331dot (talk) 07:55, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Adding a picture to my page

Question on articles primarily maintained by students?

Hello! I'm quite new to editing, and while looking for pages to do some work on I found a bunch of articles that seem to be edited almost exclusively by users attached to college courses. I know that student editors aren't supposed to be treated differently than any other editor, but I'm a little hesitant to do any significant work on pages that seem to have been created and subsequently maintained by a bunch of different classes at a bunch of different universities. They're not necessarily bad articles, and overall they've gotten better over time, but they do seem to sort of perpetually get edited in a not-entirely-encyclopedic way, with little attention from regular editors. The specific articles I looked at are Sexuality in music videos, Misogyny in rap music, and Hip-hop feminism. Is the focus on these articles for classes intentional or accidental? It seems like some of it could be merged with other articles, or pared down, but I don't want to suggest big changes for an article that an incoming class will expect to be working on (or, honestly, an article that isn't very good but will just be re-created over and over). I feel quite conflicted, and a little confused, about this, so specific suggestions would be really helpful. Zojomars (talk) 11:49, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zojomars. I completely understand where you're coming from since I occasionally come across some articles as well. You might find some help about this kind of thing at Wikipedia:Education noticeboard. Not all students editing as part of a class project are participating in a Wiki Ed sponsored course, but many are and the Wiki Ed advisors are usually good people to ask about this kind of thing. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:14, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"The page has been restored."

I added something to a talk page, but instead of seeing "Your edit was saved", I saw "The page has been restored". Can someone explain why this appeared rather than the usual message? Thank you. –Roy McCoy (talk) 13:26, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Roy McCoy:Please mention the page that you had seen that. Regards.--PATH SLOPU 13:56, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Path slopu:Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style. Thanks. –Roy McCoy (talk) 14:06, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Roy McCoy: How and when did you start the edit? You got MediaWiki:Postedit-confirmation-restored which should be shown after a user restores a page to a previous revision. Maybe it's also shown if you edit an old version and make changes before saving. Your diff shows removal of another section added three hours earlier. A diff to an older version before that seems more likely to be the changes you made in the edit window. But your edit summary hints that you made a section edit which should only be possible on the current version at the time, unless you manually wrote /* Matching commas on attributive nouns in titles */ at the start of the edit summary. Did you start the edit many hours earlier? Did you get an edit conflict while saving? PrimeHunter (talk) 14:25, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, PrimeHunter. There was some confusion with the editing on this, and I did manually write (or rather, pasted) the section title. I've been doing this because of problems with editing sections, when the usual edit conflict dialog doesn't appear (in fact I've never seen it myself, though others do) and I've inadvertently reverted someone else's edit. This has happened only once or twice; but it's nonetheless something I've wanted to avoid, and editing the entire page rather than the section, and then pasting the section title into the edit summary, has seemed a good way to do this. If writing or pasting the section title into the edit summary can cause other problems, however, I won't do this anymore. I'm not sure how I'll handle editing text within a section, though. Shall I edit the section and then not be able to check for changes in the whole page, edit the whole page and then not have an indication about the section in the edit summary, or what? Thanks! (Like right now, for instance. I'm editing the section, so I don't know whether a change has been made elsewhere in the page or not. So I have to submit to the usual inconvenience: assume that there likely has been a change, copy my text, cancel, hit Edit again. Only then I make take a few minutes rejiggering the message and have to repeat this again. You'll understand that this is or at least seems unfortunately inconvenient.) –Roy McCoy (talk) 16:13, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Roy McCoy: It's fine to write a manual edit summary hinting a section edit if you only edit that section. But the diff indicates you either started the edit seven hours earlier or edited an old version. The latter happens if you click edit on an old diff or version like [2]. If you do then there should be a pink warning box saying "You are editing an old revision of this page. If you publish it, any changes made since then will be removed. You may wish to edit the current revision instead." Help:Edit conflict#Prevention means there will rarely be problems if you make a section edit. Apart from software errors, you will never change edits to other sections. PrimeHunter (talk) 18:35, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New Page Review

Hi,

I'm new at writing articles and have used the AfC submission but as my latest article Gaztransport & Technigaz was not reviewed after a month I used my autoconfirmed status to move it to MainSpace where it was disambiguated by a New Page reviewer, so I assume it is suitable?

Also, the Page Information says that indexing by robots is allowed.

My question is why does it not appear on Google?

Is this because it needs to be marked as reviewed?

Will it only be indexable after 90 days from creation?

Apologies if I've made any procedural errors and thanks in advance for any help.

--Jonoweltman (talk) 15:07, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

New articles are NOINDEXed until either 90 days have elapsed or it has been reviewed through the new page patrol process. --David Biddulph (talk) 16:51, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Jonoweltman, welcome to the Teahouse. It's a known problem phab:T157747 that "Page information" claims indexing is allowed on new unreviewed articles. The only reliable method to test whether indexing is disallowed on an article is to look for noindex in <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow"/> in the html source of the rendered page. The view source feature of my browser shows Gaztransport & Technigaz currently has this code. PrimeHunter (talk) 18:50, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you @David Biddulph: and @PrimeHunter:. I can't seem to find my article in the list of new pages waiting for review. Is this because the article creation date is over 30 days? Is there a way I can request a patrol or review using tags? Should I use subst:submit? Again I really appreciate the help!--Jonoweltman (talk) 23:03, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How to source a book with multiple authors?

I am barely experiencing with editing and cited a book on Eduardo A. Roca where not only Andrès Cisneros was the author but a couple of more people. How to add them? Hope to get my message across. Kind regards & Best wishes. --LLcentury (talk) 15:09, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello LLcentury! I would use the ref toolbar, see Help:Referencing_for_beginners#Using_refToolbar. If you choose "cite book", there's a big green + that lets you add as many authors you want. If you have an isbn or a gbook url, try using that and click the little magnifying glass, that often works well. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:31, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You can also do that manually if you like. Template {{Cite book}} has provision for listing multiple authors. (I am not sure about the limit). You can achieve that by using |first1= and |last1= for the first and surname of the authors respectively. For the first author you can use only |first= and |last= without the number but for any subsequent name you have to add that as well as incrementing it to have |first2=, |first3= |first4= and so on. – Ammarpad (talk) 15:44, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for looking and responding to this. This morning I was looking up Past Life Regression and under "Modern Era" there was no mention of Brian Weiss, MD who is truly single handily responsible for a resurgence in the area of past life regression and is, without a doubt and provable, a best selling author of "Many Lives, Many Masters" and is an MD who was Head of Psychiatry, Mount Sinai Medical Center, Miami. Dr. Weiss, MD is listed in Wikipedia himself, as an expert in the field of Past Life Regression.

Table question

Hi! I was wondering, say I want to create a table that is used in multiple locations.... How do I do that so I can then implement the same table in multiple articles; but only have one copy of the table? (i.e. so that if changes are made to the table, then the changes appear everywhere....) An example is the WP article Relative permittivity which in the very beginning has this in the source: {{Relative permittivity table}}. (An aside question is also, say I want to view the source of this table {{Relative permittivity table}}, how do I do that.......... I was not able to find that actual table!) Thanks, -- Blue.painting (talk) 22:22, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the Teahouse, Blue.painting. We have a separate 'nemespace' for templates, so the one in double curly brackets that has been transcluded into that article can be found at Template:Relative permittivity table. Using the seachbox, you'll need to type Template: followed by the template name. You can easily create a table of your own and test it in your own sandbox first, before moving it over into the template namespace. (e.g. User:Nick Moyes/sandbox/template). Does that answer your questions? Nick Moyes (talk) 23:39, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
