June 2[edit]

Question 1: I would like to know if there is a "template" ready for me to use and write an article about a town/village in Greece.

Question 2: Can I use another article already published as a template? Nickkaramouzos (talk) 10:34, 2 June 2012 (UTC)NickKaramouzos[reply]

You would probably get good advice at WT:WikiProject Greece. Some country Wikiprojects have developed a standard format (template) for articles about towns and other places. Roger (talk) 10:44, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just saw that there was an article on Konrad Kwiet on the German Wikipedia site. It is not accessible on the English site, does this count as 'existing article on this subject'? Kwiet lives and works in Australia, so an English entry may be justified. Thanks Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Konrad Kwiet Konstanzeorzippi (talk) 11:02, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Articles on the German Wikipedia don't count as "existing" on the English Wikipedia. The draft could do with some additional sources, though; with the exception of the ABC article those are all primary sources. Huon (talk) 13:44, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Searching Wikipedia[edit]

Hi,

Do you know why I cannot see my article (Property and Casualty Insurance Guaranty Funds) when I search wikipedia? I think I submitted it correctly, but am having trouble determining if I've done the correct steps to submitting. Can you verify that my article Property and Casualty Insurance Guaranty Funds has been submitted?

Thanks,

Your draft is at User:Denisereiter/sandbox; it has not been submitted to Articles for creation for review. Wikipedia's search box by default only searches articles, not drafts - neither userspace drafts nor those at AfC. Huon (talk) 13:44, 2 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

i typed in grimm season 1 after you denied my article. although the name exists, it took me to the list of episodes section instead. is there a way to fix the problem? S_hannon434 (S_hannon434) 4:26, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

The page Grimm (season 1) is a redirect to the list of episodes. I don't think this is a problem that needs to be fixed; there isn't much to be said about season 1 that could not find a place in either the list of episodes or the main article on the series.
