Question from Wiki-Wiki-2028 (07:54, 27 December 2023)[edit]

Hello, Thank you in advance for helping me. I just created a user name and password. My name is Demetrius. I created my account in order to create a Wikipedia for a Musical Artist. I was experimenting with building her infobox within the Sandbox to see what it looked like to test my coding. It was deleted. Obviously, I need to be setup up properly before creating this Wikipedia. I also need to declare a COI. I took all of the photos on her album covers and except 2 albums. I thought I would upload all of the images, album covers (high resolution) first and then work on the article to connect to them. I need help with how to get started in the right direction. Any feedback you have, I am willing to learn.

Thank you, Demetrius --Wiki-Wiki-2028 (talk) 07:54, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Wiki-Wiki-2028 Hi, welcome to Wikipedia! I'm currently on vacation and unable to respond in-depth here - I'd recommend asking for help at the teahouse, as they'd likely be able to help you out. Just based on what you've said above, I'd recommend you checking out our notability guideline for musicians to make sure your subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. Hope this has been helpful - I should be more available a few days down the road if you have further questions. AviationFreak💬 16:25, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Drafts for review[edit]

Hello can please you review my articles and see if they are worthy to be included in Wikipedia. These articles meet all general notability requirements for inclusion in Wikipedia and that they are separate languages with their Iso codes and reference codes and names. Here they are. They are also not redirects as Anomie bot and Rober Mclennon only added redirects based on similar names but they are totally different language articles that I have created with information verified and reliable. Here they are. Thank you. [[1]], [[2]], [[3]], [[4]], [[5]], [[6]], [[7]], [[8]], [[9]] 2600:1700:2F01:CDC0:CDB:CEB6:91A7:23BB (talk) 16:59, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Baqir Muaayad (13:32, 30 December 2023)[edit]

How to make a perfect article ? --Baqir Muaayad (talk) 13:32, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Baqir Muaayad Wikipedia has a scale used to grade article quality. While it's unlikely that a particular article will ever be "perfect", you can learn more about this scale here. AviationFreak💬 15:09, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Damian Lew (20:38, 14 January 2024)[edit]

Hello, I'm curious on how to change the svg file on wiki commons? I have reverted a file to an earlier version, the png changed accordingly but the svg is still the same. Thank you --Damian Lew (talk) 20:38, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Damian Lew: I'm not quite sure what you mean. Is the file you mean to change stored as an SVG or a PNG? As far as I'm aware, Commons does not do any "on-the-fly" conversions between various filetypes; a single file will not be exported as both a PNG and SVG. I have also found that file changes on Commons (particularly with SVGs) just take a little while for changes to be reflected - that may be your issue.

Question from Advancemom21 on Food Lion (11:59, 18 January 2024)[edit]

William ‘Bill’ Hefner was the founder. It was Hefners then they merged and it became Food Town then Food Lion. They gave wrong information. I know because I was younger when all this took place. --Advancemom21 (talk) 11:59, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Advancemom21: I'm assuming you're referencing the "History" section in the article for Food Lion. I did a brief look for sources stating Bill Hefner was the founder, and one of the only pieces I could find that mentioned a "Bill Hefner" and "Food Lion" together was this piece, which only talks about Hefner as a politician (i.e., not involved in Food Lion's leadership). If you can find reliable sources supporting your claim, I'd be happy to help you in incorporating them into the article on Food Lion. AviationFreak💬 16:16, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from NedScopMCC (03:33, 20 February 2024)[edit]

Hi, What type of citations are needed to correct a statement or information that is requested to be removed from a wikipedia article. The Council I work for has asked to remove a "Proposed amalgamation". How can I inform Wikipedia that the Proposed Amalgamation did not proceed and that it is noted. Thank you --NedScopMCC (talk) 03:33, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@NedScopMCC: Hi! Taking a look at the article, it looks like the section you're referring to notes that the proposed amalgamation did not happen, and this decision was made >5yrs ago. The source for this claim, however, is dead, and it would be ideal to have a working source for that information (this would include repairing it if there's not a good current link with the claimed information). Once that's done, the best practice for an editor with a conflict of interest (which I see you've duly declared) would probably be to start a discussion on the article's Talk Page. Given the article's recent history, this would be the third step in the BRD process of achieving a decision on an article edit.
Sometimes, especially on smaller articles, these discussions don't get much action. If that's the case (i.e., nobody has responded) after a few weeks, it would likely be fine to make the deletion with a mention of the Talk Page discussion in the edit summary. Good on ya for declaring your COI and taking the right steps to do this properly; feel free to reach out if you have any other questions! AviationFreak💬 03:54, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks AviationFreak for you advise, really appreciate it. My first edit, didn't go to well. Given the moderators responses (see below) and the manner that the information needs to be verified. I would need to have a council resolution paper written and posted on an independent site to state so that the wikipedia article could refer to it as a citation, and then be assessed if that is sufficient evidence to delete the content from the article.
I understand the premise on ensuring the content is trusted. I'll leave it to the council to deal with as it is way more effort than it needs to be. Even though the article is over 5 years old, and the council operations have no intention to amalgamate,
Thanks for your help.
Below is the request to 331dot, providing context of the deletion.
As an officer of the council and noted in the change as well as on my user page CoI. I have addressed the requirements to request the change. The change has been requested by the Mayor of the City of Maitland CIty Council. NedScopMCC (talk) 01:58, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply][reply]
Wikipedia does not care about the wishes of the Mayor. It cares about what has been written in reliable independent published sources. Maproom (talk) 08:18, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply][reply]
It wouldn't matter if Prime Minister Albanese or King Charles requested it. 331dot (talk) 08:33, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply][reply]
Fair point, freedom of speech and independent sources. I'll adopt the consensus approach as per BRD.. NedScopMCC (talk) 11:17, 20 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Seanlange (03:13, 29 February 2024)[edit]

Hey there! Does Wikipedia have a specific style guide for editing? --Seanlange (talk) 03:13, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Seanlange: Yes! Wikipedia's Manual of Style is the primary style guide for the project. AviationFreak💬 16:19, 29 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How do you read the daily events from the day before? --FreedomGiberson (talk) 22:56, 4 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@FreedomGiberson: I'm assuming you're referring to the On This Day section of the Main Page. To view what was posted on previous days, you can visit the archive here. For a more detailed list of events that have occurred on various calendar days, you can also check out Wikipedia's list of days of the year. Let me know if you have any other questions!
