Greetings from Yseult-Ivain

Hello, Red Director,

And that you for your kind message of welcome yesterday. I have two questions. Does there not exist a set of Wikipedia writer's guidelines for naming articles about persons who bear royal or noble titles? This has long been a subject of fascination for me, and although I have no real expertise on these matters, I have read quite a bit about them. I know that the official rules governing the ways in which these titles are bestowed, inherited, and used varies widely from country to country.

It would seem that quite a number of other Wikipedia contributors are interested in weighing in on what the title of the new Duchess of Sussex (Meghan Markle) ought to read, and it's good to see a growing interest in a topic I've always enjoyed reading about. However, although it's good to see the interest, it's a bit distressing to see people disputing about the topic, when the thoughts expressed and the language used would seem to indicate that many of the disputers are beginners in the subject. (I suppose I'm a "beginner," as well, but an "intermediate beginner," as they used to call us in swimming classes.)

The second question is: Would there be a place for an "intermediate beginner" to contribute to a set of writer's guidelines about persons who bear noble or royal titles? Thanks so much, Red Director.

Yours very truly,

Move a sandbox page into Wikipedia proper

I have completed a page in Sandbox, but don't know how to make it not a sandbox but a proper page for the community. I worry that the sandbox will be deleted in for days. How do I turn a sandbox into a proper Wikipedia page for the public?

Also, by mistake, I clicked on "template." Now the page wants to be a template, even though I don't mean it to. How do I turn the template page into a proper page?

The page at the moment is "template: Bernis von zur Muehlen"

Red link

Hi, I’m fairly new to editing Wikipedia articles and I’ve run into an issue with my most recent edit. I tried to link to another article which I know exists, but it’s turned red and says the page has not yet been created. I have a hunch it may be because of an apostrophe in the title of the page, but I’ve no clue how to fix it. Skogsraet (talk) 22:44, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes definitely need someone adopt me for better article writer please.

Dear Red Director. Thank you for your message. First I need to know about Adopt for me to understand all the code and rule and policy of contribution knowledge. I have got a lot of images that really need to upload but seem like what I did was not what people looking for. Such as gallery of cultivate plant but they undid my version and said it look like my personal gallery but I didn't understand about it. Anyone can put any pictures about article to look more interesting and to me Image worth more than thousand words. And explain article more. But seem like what I did they thought difference. So I need to understand more about what can and can not do so I am not waste time to edit it. Or waste someone time to undo my contribution. So please kindly point me direction how to get adopt with professional editor please. Thank you. All the best. Tri Trisorn Triboon (talk) 16:45, 16 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Message box vs just comments - which is preferred?

Hi, I'm new here but learning. I was recently pointed to a page that lists Wikipedia template messages, where you insert a bit of code and a message box appears. I started using those, but then another editor told me NOT to use them, but to use only text comments when things needed to be corrected. Which is the right answer? Note, I was only ever using one box on a given page so I don't think I was overdoing it. Which is the right answer? Thanks :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by EchoSound (talk • contribs) 15:29, 23 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Photo needs deletion

I can’t figure out how to delete the image in this article, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_National_Highway_110_traffic_jam. It is a) photoshopped, and b) not of China.

Random Question

What if someone put a detail about something that is unknown? Should I ask if there's a reliable source? The reason I'm saying this is because a user named "Bruhitzalvin" made an edit to the page "List of Total Wipeout Episodes", stating that a contestant in the first episode of series 1 named Andi got a time of 10:25 when their time was never actually stated. Should I ask where his source is?

Hello Red Director. I noticed to have recently edited the Kinbrae, MN page. I have some info I thought was interesting, maybe useful? Kinbrae sounds a lot like “Cairn Brae” or “Caen Brae”. The first is a location in Scotland, the second a castle in Cornwall, England. Maybe the source of the name considering it’s scottish history? I’ve never messaged a talk page before, hope I’m doing it correctly. Sorry if not. Just found the link too interesting to not share.

Hi Red Director, thank you very much for the message on my talk page, very appreciated. I actually had some troubles with a picture I need for the Gabriella Crespi page I created. After some issues with Wikipedia's copyright , I asked the official archive if I could use a photo of the artist and they actually published the licensing on the website. So now I can use the photo but Wikipedia is telling me that photo has already been uploaded and doesn't fit the copyright. You can see the archive released the copyright here. What should I do to insert the picture on the page? Thank you very much. --Lorenzo Mattiello (talk) 18:58, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

how you go about verifying citations

Hi I am writing a page about an artist and have gotten info from published brochures/flyers from galleries (major galleries in the UK) that showed his art. The galleries have given me written permission to use their content. I inserted the brochure info including date etc as references. On your end how do you go about verifying those? Should I send you the permissions and/or copy of the gallery brochures? Also what about personal communications? I have emails.. is that sufficient? (email from artist daughter, so it is her experience, not third person)

I highly recommend that the site themselves upload the brochure. Uploading the attachment on here would not be recommended due to copyright rules. It would be best for the subject's own site to have that information out on their own. Red Director (talk) 20:09, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please change your script's summary

Hi there. I noticed you're using a script to make date-related changes. The summary you use states "date formats per MOS:DATEFORMAT by script", but MOS:DATEFORMAT, in and of itself, does not require any date changes; please specify in the summary the correct subsection relevant to your edit, which in most cases would be MOS:DATETIES. Also note that you're changing the date format in some articles for which it is inappropriate, such as in this edit to an article with no national ties and an acceptable date format; for such cases, MOS:DATERET is more relevant. Mind matrix 16:15, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've inspected a few of the articles you've edited about American and non-American individuals, and those for US-related articles appear correct, and the others are mixed. The changes you've made to game-related articles need to be reviewed, as Yu-Gi-Oh (for example) originates from Japan, for which the date format should be YMD (see Date format by country, and my note below). Same goes for other Japan-related articles, such as Cross Game (song). Another example is Thomas Bihl, which in this edit you tagged with {{Use mdy dates}} even though the German date format is MDY (or YMD). (There are a bunch of others, for example Michael Gracz.) For Canada and Israel articles, check the history for the date format first used in those articles, and use that format throughout. Mind matrix 17:31, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Note, however, that there doesn't appear to be a {{Use ymd dates}} (it was deleted eight years ago), so I don't know if there's some other preference for date formatting in articles that require this. MOS:DATEFORMAT states there's no general use format (eg - 2019 January 1), only YYYY-MM-DD, so either convert to the more widely used DMY, or perhaps take this up on WP:VPP. Mind matrix 17:31, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed changes in the list of sources for Paul Soleillet from, e.g., |accessdate=2017-12-09|date=2009-06-01 to |accessdate=9 December 2017|date=1 June 2009. According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers#Formats, yyyy-mm-dd format is acceptable where where brevity is helpful (refs, tables, infoboxes, etc.). That applies here. I will undo these pointless changes. Aymatth2 (talk) 22:49, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Thank you for welcoming me to Wikipedia. I am grateful to you for making contact and would be even more so for your help. I wonder if I could ask you to make contact with me by email at mark@mark-haysom.co.uk? There is a matter that I would appreciate your advice on. Many thanks.

Answered on your talk page. Red Director (talk) 14:51, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for getting back to me. The matter I need your help with is as follows:

I have been trying to make contact with a Wikipedia contributor by the name of Seaweed. I have left a message on Seaweed’s ‘Talk’ page (I hope I have done it correctly) inviting him/her to email me but have yet to receive a reply. You will understand, when you read on, why I would have preferred to not to post this to a public forum.

My reason for trying to making contact with Seaweed is that my attention has been drawn to comments that he/she has published on Wikipedia that I can help to correct. These comments suggest that I have been responsible for editing a Wikipedia article devoted to myself. Nothing could be further from the truth!

This article has been an embarrassment and a cause for concern to me since it first appeared – and, far from editing it, it has been wish throughout to see it removed. To be clear, I’ve never considered myself remotely notable enough for a Wikipedia article. The principal author (Cheylesmore1) is, I think but can’t be absolutely sure, someone who worked for me some years ago who was particularly distressed when I stepped down from my role. It was a curious and frankly disconcerting experience because I never worked closely with this individual, but it became for a while, I think, something of a fixation for them. I was bombarded with emails from them and every time something new was announced about my career it quickly found its way into the Wikipedia article.

With regards to the article itself, I confess I haven’t looked at it closely in recent years, so I can’t be sure that it has always been wholly accurate. I have, however, read it just now and there is only one factual error. I changed my Literary Agent a year or more ago but no announcement was ever published and the article remains uncorrected.

By making contact with Seaweed, I was hoping to resolve matters amicably by asking him/her to remove suggestions that either I or any ‘close connection’ of mine have been involved with this article. I am a journalist by background and hesitate to use the word ‘defamatory’ – and would certainly never pursue any such claim – but these comments surely come dangerously close!

I was also going to ask him/her whether, to avoid future embarrassment, it’s possible to simply block any further contributions from this Cheylesmore1? I don’t know whether Wikipedia software is capable of doing this?

Finally, I was going to ask whether he/she wanted to put in motion whatever steps are needed to remove the article in its entirety! I recognise it’s hardly my place to make such a request – but you can understand, perhaps, my frustration.

Apologies for going on at such length but, in the absence of a reply from Seaweed, your help on any of the above would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Hi! I was wondering why Wikipedia hasn’t auto confirmed my account yet, as I’ve made more than 10 edits and I’ve had the account for a month or so now. Any idea?

Finding a direction for a moral lifestyle

Finding a direction for a moral lifestyle

Hi, thanks for the message. I'm interested in your page, and have been conflicted since I was in my late teens (I am in my mid-twenties) about religion. I find that most religious institutions are imperfect so I wanted to separate and use my intelligence to become a more moral person. When I found out about catholic priests molesting children it made me turn away from the church, and I have been craving something to fill that void ever since. Is there a way for me to connect with other Christians online? I am really busy and find organized religion to be repressive. I think the Bible needs an update as well, there are many things (such as the creation myth and how old the earth is and how long people lived, that are scientifically impossible).

Hi RedDirector! I am still yet to be autoconfirmed, even though I have made quite a few edits already, and this account has been active for a couple of months now. I can’t edit semi-protected pages, which is frustrating as I can see a good number of mistakes within some of them. Any help?

Help me against a group of vandals

I've updated two articles significantly https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitutional_Court_of_Romania and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judiciary_of_Romania

scientifically, referencing other scientific evidence, logic and law

I've been assaulted by a mob of vandals who are deleting my content without a justification

Vandalism by definition is deleting wikipedia content without a syllogistic justification. A proper and only logical argument motivation structure to contribute to wikipedia consists of a particular premise correlated with an universal premise such as a law or regulation, and a logical inference, in other words a syllogism, which is verifiable and true according to wikipedia regulations.

I need to take the proper measures, such as protection of my articles, and I would like the vandals banned, but being new I need to be referenced by someone more experienced. What I can do is be the best at demonstrating the truth, but I am not familiar with wikipedia protocols which clearly favor vandalism because they can delete articles without justification, and are not right away banned for it Tudor.raneti (talk) 01:13, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) As Drmies wrote on your talk page, the lack of reliable secondary sources backing up the content you added is an excellent justification to revert your changes. Such content violates WP:V, one of our core content policies. To put it as a syllogism: What you wrote wasn't based on reliable sources. Content that isn't based on reliable sources can (and, in some cases, should) be reverted. Thus what you wrote could (and, in this specific case, should) have been reverted.

(talk page stalker) WikiWiki5678, there's one uploaded image of yours currently remaining, though that one likely will also soon be deleted: File:Colors Cineplex.jpg. You tagged that image as "own work" and wrote that you're releasing it under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license. If you really are the designer and copyright holder of that logo, you'll need to provide evidence via email (see WP:Donating copyrighted content for details). Going by the titles of the other files that were deleted, those also were various TV shows' logos or the like. It's highly unlikely that any of them have been released under a free license.

Few weeks ago a photograph i uploaded for a page i on a Kpop celeb got deleted due to copywriter issue. I had basically taken it off the web and uploaded. I was informed thats its not allowed and has to be taken off. I do not wish to repeat the same mistake.

So how can i upload a new image (i am not the owner and its available freely online) with out facing the deletion problem.

Thank you for the warm welcome to the site. I went to your other page with the messages about salvation and had to chuckle to myself a bit; He really does tap you on the shoulder when you're needing it, yet least expecting it. He does hear you. I'm terminally ill and have been struggling with this; heaven and hell, have you been a good person, etc... I've always been a "believer" and have faith (plain vanilla Methodist lol), but when you know your time is coming you begin to think of all sorts of things. Rational or not.
