Can't change title!

[edit]

Hi,

I created a page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Riqiv23

but the TITLE is "User:Riqiv23"

I didn't realize "saving" the page in my personal sandbox would make it appear online!

It appears I don't have enough "edits" to move the page myself.

From: "User:Riqiv23" > "Richie Vitale"

Can I somehow change the TITLE to: Richie Vitale

That is preferred . . . otherwise if should be deleted.

Thank you! Riqiv23 (talk) 00:50, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

IMDB is not a reliable source. Your article is not ready to be moved to the main article space. It could be moved to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Richie Vitale, where you can work on it more and then submit it for review. Howicus (talk) 00:52, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Citations and Verification disclaimer

[edit]

Hi!

I'm new to Wikipedia so please forgive me if this question has already posted:

On my biography page there's a disclaimer from 2010 that reads as follows:

! This biographical article needs additional citations for verification. Please help by adding reliable sources. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous or harmful. (March 2010)

Very recently I added numerous citations for verification -- one for each statement of fact -- so can the disclaimer now be removed? If so it would be much appreciated. Here is the link to the page:

Wikipedia's responsibility to society

[edit]

Whenever a serial killer is arrested , media gives huge coverage to the killer than doctors who treat poor patients for red cross. Whenever a shooter massacres innocent people in USA,he gets more coverage than Nobel prize winning scientists. Wikipedia is popular website. Killing innocent people is nothing great , only because media turns killers,rapists and 1940's mafia into cult figure , there is no need to keep pages dedicated to bad guys. The victims are forgotten and movies are made on the life of serial killers.Why should media decide who should get more coverage.Nobel prize winner for medicine or Monica Lewinsky who had no contribution to humanity. Those who own Wikipedia should honour great people like google doodle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TECHWIZARDEYT (talkcontribs) 03:40, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Once we start supplanting the judgement of reliable sources about whats important with our own, where do we stop? What other things will we not cover because they are bad, or we disagree with them? How could anyone take our articles seriously if, as a matter of policy, we said we are only going to cover things we want to encourage? Monty845 04:24, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Did you go through the process for donating copyrighted materials? There are a number of other useful links in the warnings on your user talk page. - David Biddulph (talk) 07:10, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the deletion criteria for Biomed Dispose It, I see that it was deleted not only for the copyright violation but also for being written in a promotional manner. If you copy material from a subject's own website, it is quite likely that it will be written in a manner which is too promotional for Wikipedia, so (independently of the copyright problem) it is better to write in your own words. - David Biddulph (talk) 07:19, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You still get the warning (or rather, the article still shows the warning) because nobody has removed it. If you are confident that you have addressed the problem, you may remove the warning. (From a quick look, I think you have addressed the problem. Many of the sources you have added are not substantial enough to contribute to notability, but they are fine for supporting the particular details about awards; but I think there are enough substantial sources to remove the warning. But to echo OrangeMike's question: your use of 'we' and your username suggests that you might be several people sharing an account (which is forbidden - see WP:ROLE) and/or have a conflict of interest.--ColinFine (talk) 13:44, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Rule Broadcast Systems

Rule Broadcast Systems (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

The company is just "Rule Boston Camera". Rule Broadcast Systems is extremely outdated. Can this be changed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.79.175.81 (talk) 14:24, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Frankly, I can see no reason why the company (regardless of how it is named) should meet Wikipedia:Notability (organizations) criteria, and on that basis, the article should probably be deleted. I will however look into this further. AndyTheGrump (talk) 14:36, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Determining first version equal to the current version.

[edit]

If there is an article that has had a number of changes and reversions/rollbacks is there an easy way to find the first version which is equal to the given version? I can look back at the history and (fairly) easily see what the first revision was with that *size*, but then I need to check to see if the two are equal. Is there a tool that would do that for me?Naraht (talk) 14:48, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you know of two versions that are the same size, why not just use the radio buttons beside those revisions to directly compare them? Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here. Dismas|(talk) 16:33, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Two reasons, one, I may have made a mistake as to what was the first one at that size and secondly, to automate the concept. I'd love to have a tool that would enable me to say that for Article Blank, there hasn't been any changes other than changes and reverts for a given amount of time (and the number of cycles if possible). It seems useful in determining whether an article should be semi-protected.Naraht (talk) 16:54, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I discovered that the above page referenced one of my inventions, namely my ‘Large Area Domain Viewer’ but I can’t seem to find my reference in the English version. You may wish to add my invention to your English page as it is a very useful device for visualizing larger magnetic domains in Silicon Steels and has become something of an industry standard.

I would point out however that the Polish page has got my name slightly wrong – it refers to me as ‘R.A. Taylor’ when I am in fact R.J. Taylor (reference 17).

Dr Robert J. Taylor — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.156.46.186 (talk) 14:49, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In regards to your points, firstly there is no guarantee that an article in one language will exactly match another, in this case it apparently doesn't. Since you have a conflict of interest, asking here was a good start. I'd suggest writing a note on Talk:Magnetic domain and/or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics. In regards to the entry on the Polish page, I think you can change it yourself, but that needs to be in done in the text that contains the reference (not down in where the references are all shown).
Probably the easiest way to make sure that everything for it is shown correctly is if there is a doi for the article, if you have that, there are "bot"s that will look up everything and that should make sure everything is correct including your middle initial.Naraht (talk) 15:13, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Silly Page

[edit]

The page “John W. Drake” (about me) contains many boring and numerous inaccurate statements, apparently misinformed but not malignant. In any case, a “John W. Drake” page is not needed, I am now retired, and I do not want to replace this entry with one of my own making. How can I delete the entry altogether? 157.98.66.27 (talk) 18:00, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your best bet is to go to the talk page of the article and point out the parts that are unsourced or objectionable. For such a short article there is always AfD where you can apply to have the article deleted. It would, however be deleted according to procedure if it is excessively poorly sourced or you lack notability. It would not be deleted on your request because you don't want an article for some reason. Britmax (talk) 18:12, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like all the sources are self-published (e.g., the website of the group he chaired a committee for) or non-independent primary sources (the famous paper). Dr Drake may not actually qualify for a separate article, if people haven't been writing about him rather than his work. User:KenBailey wrote the initial article and might know more about the possibility for finding independent, secondary sources. WhatamIdoing (talk) 01:06, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of an article

[edit]

Yesterday I was watching the New pages feed on Wikipedia, and happened to see one that intrigued me. It was named Alen Ghouliance, and was tagged for speedy deletion as an A7: No explanation of significance. I did not agree with this assessment as the article clearly laid out reasons showing significance, so I contested the deletion nomination by clicking the designated button and explaining why I did not agree with the assessment.

I watched the article for a while and noticed that the tag was changed to: G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion, so I removed all content from the article that would lead someone to conclude that the article was promotional. I also added categories to help guide other editors to similar articles, and again contested the proposed speedy deletion.

This morning I was disheartened to see that the article had vanished. How can I find out why it was deleted despite my efforts?

Thanks in advance, XOttawahitech (talk) 18:31, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Click on the red link that you have provided above, and you should get a pink box headed "A page with this title has previously been deleted." In that will be the deletion log entry, which shows who deleted it, when and why. --Redrose64 (talk) 18:41, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Having looked at the deleted article, I don't believe it qualified for G11. It wasn't neutral, but doesn't mean it met the criteria for speedy deletion for promotion (especially after your editing, Ottawa). I'm not entirely convinced by the A7 rationale either; their was a credible claim of notability, where the article stated that the subject "has received many awards for his contributions to Los Angeles County's legal services". Obviously, without knowing what awards and without reliable sources, this wouldn't stand up at AfD. However, that's not what the CSD covers; the claim (however unverified) is all that is sufficient. I'd suggest you contact User:Anthony Bradbury, the administrator who deleted the article. matt (talk) 20:49, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Thanks to Redrose64 and to matt. I have contacted the deleting admin on their talkpage and will be waiting patiently for a response. XOttawahitech (talk) 19:29, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why can't Kozei Homi be named in the article as the prime suspect? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Japanesehelper (talkcontribs) 18:55, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Response to racist edits

[edit]

Although I'm an experienced editor, I have a question about response to vandalism. An IP editor made an antisemitic edit to Thermonuclear weapon, implying that thermonuclear weapons were a Jewish plot (the intent is clear from the edit comment). I reverted it. I'd like to put a warning template on his Talk page so if he continues his bigoted edits he can be blocked, but I'm not quite sure what template I should use. Vandalism doesn't seem specific enough; his intent was not to vandalize per se. In fact his statement was even literally true, it was just the implication that was racist. Defamation doesn't seem to apply, because the subjects of his attack are dead. What should I put on his talk page? --ChetvornoTALK 19:14, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]


More generally, I'm not clear on how WP regards racist theories and hate speech in articles. There doesn't seem to be any explicit prohibition against these things, so I guess if they don't libel or defame living persons and are sourced, they could be included in WP articles as fringe theories? --ChetvornoTALK 19:03, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That implication is a little too mild to be called "hate speech", in my eyes, but not exactly appropriate. I'd recommend just letting him know how you feel on his talk page, without a tag. Might be enough. If he continues, you might go with the disruptive editing one. But, like you say, the statement is true, so I don't know. Maybe compromise and word the info into the article in a more neutral way. But if he insists on the implication, seems disruptive. InedibleHulk (talk) 19:14, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, looking it over, I can't see how it would be included in this context without being undue weight and POV. We have warnings for those, under "Adding promotions of objects or ideologies (also spam)", if you'd like. InedibleHulk (talk) 19:18, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your help. I took your wise advice and just left him a note explaining why his edit was inappropriate. Hopefully it will get through. Thanks again. Cheers, ChetvornoTALK 20:30, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]


How to show which page is which when using a footnote more than once?

[edit]

For example on the page Themes_in_Nazi_propaganda in the References section:

^ a b Koonz, Claudia (2003). The Nazi Conscience. Harvard University Press. p. 20. ISBN 978-0-674-01172-4.

How do you know if a or b is on page 20 and is it possible to make say one to be one page and one another so you know which reference is which to say which page?

I'm aware of sfn but there is no option to on this as there is no Notes and References separation just References.--Smashton Pumpkin (talk) 20:18, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really understand the question...it seems to me that if a and b are both pointing to that citation than both should be on page 20. Otherwise there should be a separate citation for a different page number. Hope this helps. DonIago (talk) 20:27, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]


You have a few ways to combat this problem. You can simply add the full citation 2 times by changing the REF TAG name parameter name="Koonz2003a ...This is the format used on the page already. There are other ways but they get more complicated. Not a big deal to list the same ref many times ...not harming anyone.

<ref name="Koonz2003a">{{cite book|author=Claudia Koonz|title=The Nazi Conscience|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=jASbCpN1CC8C&pg=PA20|year=2003|publisher=Harvard University Press|isbn=978-0-674-01172-4|page=20}}</ref>

A simple way of doing this without creating duplicate references is to use the {{Rp}} template, which adds the page number after the footnote number. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:27, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Armenian genocide

[edit]

Armenian Genocide (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Hey,

In the article Armenian genocide, and under the tag Turkish nationalism, words like massacre and genocide were used without proper proof. They are such, such strong words that unless the events can be proven with factual and undeniable proof, I find it harassing. Unless you can give me convincing evidence of the Armenian genocide, I want the page removed, or at least edited in a less Euro-centric way that also takes into account the possibility of no genocide. I have been trying to write for that part, and all of my attempts were removed during editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.27.125.164 (talk) 20:41, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The systematic mass murder of Armenians carried out by the Ottoman Empire is a well-documented historical fact. If you find reality 'harassing', tough. That is your problem, not ours. Wikipedia does not distort historical fact to pander to the sensitivities of Turkish nationalism, or indeed to any other. AndyTheGrump (talk) 20:48, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Andy,

I'd like to see those "good documents" from some other media perhaps, as this is not the place. All in all, I'd like the right to write about the possibility of no genocide with proper references under the title Armenian Genocide. If Wikipedia is the sort of online volunteer-based encyclopedia that welcomes all sorts of information without bias, so should my hypothesis be included. I won't be leaving this very easily. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.27.125.164 (talk) 21:03, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

created a new page directly from the person I wrote it about, how do I show proof

[edit]

I just created the wikipedia page for Oncue, a well known rapper from the northeast. Everything I wrote was in a letter from the head of his management team. I basically emailed his team volunteering to make his wikipedia page cause I saw that he didn't have one, and they were like ya here is what you can write down. So the information I wrote about him is basically directly from him. This is the most reliable information I could possibly have, but the site is still at risk of deletion because there is no way to adequately have a proper citation for this, or is there? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.59.47.32 (talk) 21:00, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia articles need to cite published reliable sources. So no, you can't use such material. If the rapper is sufficiently notable, such material will already exist - and if it doesn't exist, he doesn't meet our notability criteria. AndyTheGrump (talk) 21:06, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sun Plus

[edit]

Evening! Here in the UK, some news websites have recently been putting up pay-walls to block free access to their content. The newest paper to join this The Sun, which has affected a large number of sources here. As I couldn't think of a more suitable place for this discussion, I thought I'd bring the discussion here for now. My first question is whether or not a location currently exists that lists Wikipedians who have access to pay-walled news sites to allow for source verification? For instance, if a user adds a Sun page as a source (still allowed according to WP:PAYWALL), do we have a directory of other editors who could verify this? If not, would setting such a WikiProject/directory up for this sort of thing a viable plan? I'm more than willing to help out with any legwork this may cause, and please do inform me if there's a more appropriate location for, or an ongoing discussion about, this subject. Thanks!  drewmunn  talk  21:19, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As WP:PAYWALL states, the best place to ask for help accessing paywalled material is Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request. Frankly though, there are relatively few circumstances where a tabloid source like The Sun should be cited anyway. AndyTheGrump (talk) 21:28, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The Sun is an excellent source for.... soccer scores. HiLo48 (talk) 03:06, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I literally can't see why I didn't notice that, I read the whole page… Anyway, thanks! As far as the validity of The Sun as a reference, I too try and steer clear of it. It's only because I blundered across an article including a reference to it already, and the status got me thinking. There are a few more reliable sources that are pay-walled now, such as The Times, and The Sun acted as more of a catalyst for thought that a genuine article of concern for me.  drewmunn  talk  09:18, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
