How to retrieve an article from the review queue

Resolved

– Wollygobble (talk) 01:22, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have been told that, as a registered user, I can create a new article in my userspace and move it into the mainspace myself without the need for a review. However, on completing the article I was led astray by a link in the userspace draft template and have now requested a review by mistake. The page has now been moved to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/W. Alexander & Sons. I can probably move it myself, but I suspect that will leave a redirect behind so the article will remain in the review queue. What to do please? Wollygobble (talk) 00:16, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You can move and check the "do not leave a redirect" box, and after the move delete all the AfC templates, or I will do it for you if you like. However, as it stands that article is rather promotional in tone and inconsistent in citation formatting. It probably won't be deleted, but it may face some harsh editing. You might want to clean it up before moving. But you may do as you wish. DES ^(talk) 00:24, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's only administrators who can choose "do not leave a redirect" (it actually says "Leave a redirect behind" with a default checkmark they can remove). PrimeHunter (talk) 00:30, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't realize that only admins had that permission. Well, the user can move and tag the redir for deletion with {{db-author}}, or ask me or another admin to move. Or wait, it is the user's choice. DES ^(talk) 00:33, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you DES. Could you do it for me please? And I don't mind "harsh editing". It's a good way of learning.Wollygobble (talk) 00:38, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done Now at W. Alexander & Sons. DES ^(talk) 00:56, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Most References?

Resolved

Is there a way to find the articles with the most references? (yes, I know that could be counted with multiple entries using the same namedref as 1 or many, don't care). I'm also fine on whether this is a continually updated list or whether it is a weekly generated list. Also, does the Wikipedia software have a maximum number of references allowed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Naraht (talk • contribs)

Wikipedia:Articles with the most references is manually edited and probably missing a lot. I don't know an automated list. As far as I know there is no limit on the number of references, but there are other limits like total page size so that causes a limit in practice. I have just done a preview test with 6000 minimal <ref>X</ref> followed by <references/>. That worked fine, but I don't recommend using server resources to test further for a limit. PrimeHunter (talk) 01:09, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A while back the lists List of hard rock musicians (A–M) and List of hard rock musicians (N–Z) were just one list. I had to split it in two because it was not loading for some users depending on their browser. It was just too large for some systems to even load due to the large number of references and templates. Dismas|^(talk) 01:56, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That would be because of the number citation templates hit the template limits. This should not be a problem now that most have be updated to use Lua modules. -- Gadget850^talk 14:35, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You to both of you. the article at the top of Wikipedia:Articles with the most references has a page with over 1100 references, so I'm not concerned about pure numbers in adding references to an article.Naraht (talk) 13:00, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Patrolled page

I clicked 'Mark as patrolled' because I was curious what type of page it would take me to and I accidently marked Talk:Google Feedback as patrolled because I assumed marking as patrolled was a more than 1-step process. Can somebody unmark it as such? Blackbombchu (talk) 01:32, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No worries - There is no reason why the talk page should not be marked "patrolled". -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 01:58, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

and, if instead of the talk page you linked, you had marked the article page as reviewed, that is also OK - someone has reviewed it (and sent it to AfD). -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 02:44, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The Inflated Sales of the K-POP Groups in the Best-Selling Boy/Girl Groups Pages

Most of the people know that the era of digital singles came in the 21st century with the invention of iTunes, and other audio programs. However, the K-POP groups that are listed in the BEST-SELLING BOY/GIRLS GROUPS pages are a total bogus, in that, their digital sales which cost about 30 cents are included as a part of their PHYSICAL SALES whereas groups like Backstreet Boys have truly sold their PHYSICAL SINGLES, AND ALBUMS (which does not include the cheap digital sales). I personally believe that there should be an another page for the digital sales. It is not fair for the artists that have actually earned their PHYSICAL SALES to be compared with the groups that are primarily supported by the DIGITAL SINGLE SALES. Not hating on the K-POP groups, but I believe their digital sales does not apply in the page where the other groups have their PHYSICAL SALES ONLY which cost A LOT more than the digital sales. I tried to edit out the K-POP groups, but a group of 2 people have constantly undone my edits with the article of proofs that show nothing about how them achieving these certain physical sales. Please fix them if you can. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theallpops (talk • contribs) 01:56, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Theallpops: Hi, though I am a little confused about what your request is, it seems that you are proposing a global change on how sales are reported in Wikipedia articles. This is definitely beyond the scope of the Wikipedia Help Desk, which exists to help users with issues related to general editing. If you want to affect change, you might start by contacting the various WikiProjects related to your field of interest. I'm not sure where the best place to start would be--maybe at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Music, who might be able to direct you to a more specific genre?

Freddie and the Dreamers

Hi

Whitby Gazette Newspapers

Hello

I work for the Whitby Gazette and the information that you have is not quite right, the first paper was not published on 6th January that year but the 6th of July. Please can we get this rectified.

The editor of the paper Mr Ed Asquith can be contacted should you want to double check this information on [redacted].

Many thanks

I've made the change.

There are no sources either way to support January or July, but in this case I don't think it matters. Incidentally, I believe 01723 to be a Scarborough number, not Whitby, and the number doesn't correspond to those on the Gazette contact page. If it's a personal number, I'd consider its removal.

Add A Novel Series to Wikipedia?

Hi,

I just wrote my first novel and the second is coming out soon. Both are available on Amazon. I would like to create a page about the novels and the world I created. But when I submitted an article it was rejected for not having a source to cite.

Any suggestions on how to create the page and have it accepted would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Here is the declined article page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Wasteland_Rules_(Book_Series)

J.G. Martin — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jefmart1975 (talk • contribs) 14:37, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You'll need to provide sources that show your works meet the inclusion criteria for books - this usually means that you'll need to cite multiple reviews in major publications (e.g. nationally-circulated newspapers or literary magazines), although if the books have had a significant impact and have been written about from that perspective, sources showing that would also suffice. To the best of my knowledge, however, no article about a book published through CreateSpace has ever been retained on Wikipedia. Yunshui 雲‍水 14:44, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia in course

Hi:

I'm wiki user cebarnes406. I'm a teacher at Univ. of Tenn., Knoxville. I'm trying to use Wiki in my course. I am stuck at the wiki institution and course pages. I am not able to add my institution to the list nor am I able to create my course to get my students started. I went through the instructor tutorial and there was a message at one point that I would not be able to add my institution unless ????? but I cannot find this message anymore.

I'm stuck. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Information Section

Ursuline Academy (Delaware)- On the quick section on the right side (Information), I am only able to show a couple of our leaders. How can I make our two principals visible. I know it is something on the back end. Thank you for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uacommunications (talk • contribs) 15:01, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The infobox at the right of Ursuline Academy (Delaware) is already rather long. Such boxs are intended only as a quick summary of the essential facts of an article. Additional information should be put into prose in the body of the article. Besides, as per WP:NOT, Wikipedia is not a directory. Not every official of an organization should be listed.

Also, if you are, as your commetn abov and your user name imply, an employee or associate of this institution, you have a conflict of interest and should not edit the article directly. Moreover, Wikipedia does not allow shared usernames or "role accounts". Each account should belong to a specific individual, not an office or position. "Uacommunications" rather implies otherwise.

How to be the only Editor for a Page

Hello, I would like to know how to put privacy/controls on who can edit a page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by WbPadlocks (talk • contribs) 15:12, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Quite simply: you can't. Wikipedia is the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit; we don't lock pages so that only a single user has access. Administrators can protect pages under certain circumstances, but I don't think that's what you're asking about. Yunshui 雲‍水 15:14, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that (in your own userspace) you can make a .css page (e.g. User:WbPadlocks/something.css) so that only yourself and administrators can edit the page, though I'm not sure that it's allowed. Epicgenius (talk) 03:12, 11 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Snap-on Tools

I have worked for Snap-on Tools in many capacities for @ 22 years. I have read the information that is posted on the company, and found it to be inaccurate. I registered with you, went back to the Snap-on article , and edited out the inaccuracies. However, within 24 hours, the old inaccurate information returns- what is going on here? For example, the company was formed in 1920 in Milwaukee, Wi. and the first mfg plant was started there, not in Johnson City Tennessee. Snap-on Tools Corporation has had it's world headquarters and plant in Kenosha, Wisconsin since 1930. Snap-on opened 2 small plants in Johnson City and Elizabethton, Tn. in the late 1970's or early 1980's. Ironically, these plants proved to be problematic for the company because of employee problems and quality issues. Who ever keep putting Johnson City up as the first mfg. plant does not know what they are talking about- corporate records would support my claim. Also, the explanation of the Blue Point trade name is completely wrong, and I have taken the time to write a factual objective article only to come back a day later to see it has been removed, and replaced by a few sentences by someone that knows nothing about the Snap-on Tools Corporation. These 'Snap-on Experts' pop up from time to time. Ironically, I was usually one of the guys sent directed by the Corporation to correct the false information, or supply the facts to the corporate communications people. I do not know what the issues are here. I have clicked on the submit icon, and received an acknowledgement and a thank you from your organization for taking the time to contribute. Then the next day, some of it is removed and changed- but not all of it. Very strange. Anyway, please look into this purplexing matter. Thanks Jwgears (talk) 15:18, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The talk page for the article would be the best place to discuss this. If you have sources for your facts you can list there, then you should be able to convince people to let them stand. StuRat (talk) 15:28, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The information you provided[1] was not based on Wikipedia reliable sources that are independent of Snap-on Tools. (e.g., sentences you added needed to have a footnote at the end). -- Jreferee (talk) 15:36, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

help

can you help me please my boss John Stanley has asked me to start a Wiki on him as associates are asking him to. I am his PA/ Researcher and have logged an account for myself today. It says on my email from Wiki to wait 4 days but also says something about +10 edits, what does this mean I only want to add John biog (which I have on a word document here) and some images. I can only communicate through emails as hard of hearing so would appreciate answer through email please. Carol — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carol Godwin (talk • contribs) 16:44, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Carol. Before creating this article you should first read Wikipedia's guidance on Conflict of Interest, which discourages users from creating or editing articles on subjects they know or are being paid by. It's only a discouragement though, and if you really do want to make this article, you are best off starting with the Article Wizard, and creating as a draft article through the Articles for Creation process. This will allow another editor to help you create the article and make sure that it conforms to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Before creating an entry, however, you will need to make sure that John Stanley is covered in multiple reliable sources which are independent of him, as this is an encyclopaedia and we only cover notable topics whose information can be proved to be true. Hope this helps. Samwalton9 (talk) 16:53, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Something else I forgot; the 4 days + 10 edits defines your account as Autoconfirmed, this just allows you to move pages, edit some protected pages, and upload images so you don't need to worry about it. Samwalton9 (talk) 16:58, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Carol. There are certain things you should discuss with your boss before going ahead. The reason you are very strongly discouraged from writing an article about him is that, because of the conflict of interest SamWalton9 refers to, it may prove difficult for you to write from the required neutral point of view. You may have a draft ready of which he approves, but any promotional language or selectively flattering content will be swiftly removed by other people if you are able to demonstrate your boss's notability and an article about him goes live. Is Mr. Stanley aware that, once an article is published here, he will have no control over the content? Any passing user will be able to edit it, adding anything they like as long as it's relevant and properly sourced, and while he can object to edits that break the rules, he will have no general right or ability to return the article to a particular version just because he prefers it. As for the photos, Wikipedia is always glad to receive image donations, but bear in mind that you must own the copyright or provide permission from the copyright holder to donate them, and must license them so that others can reuse and alter them. See Wikipedia:Image tutorial. All answers to your query will be made on this page, although you can request that the discussion be continued on your own talk page. Hope this helps. - Karenjc (talk) 18:43, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Bruno Letort

Born 1963, Vichy, France. Bruno Letort is a prominent figure on the contemporary French music scene. Formally trained in composition and harmony, his work is characterized by a deliberate indifference to sylistic boundaries. His orchestral pieces, his numerous string quartets and a ground-breaking interactive opera are evidence of an open-minded sensibilty as much to the American repetitive movement as to Eastern European tradition or ambient and electronic music. He has composed interactive inter-disciplinary works for stage, film and ballet. An educationalist, artistic director and writer, he has been a producer at France Musique since 1994, where he founded the National Radio label "Signature". As producer, he has collaborated with Pierre Henry, Fred Frith, Hector Zazou, Jean-Luc Godard and Elliott Sharp. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.223.73.145 (talk) 18:00, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edit semi-protected template

I have just changed a URL, as requested at Talk:Mitt Romney because the article is semi-protected. However, the semi-protected template has not "expanded" so there is no "answered = no" parameter to change to "answered = yes" so the request is still in the User:AnomieBOT/SPERTable, and presumably, will remain there. I've tried purging the page, but cannot get the template to expand, or transclude. Is there a way of forcing this? - Arjayay (talk) 19:13, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The request at Talk:Mitt_Romney#editsemiprotected is marked as answered. Can you clarify your question? Also, I recommend just going to Category:Wikipedia_semi-protected_edit_requests rather than maintining your own table of open requests. RudolfRed (talk) 19:27, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is how you close a request. If the |ans= or |answered= parameter is missing, you simply need to add it inside the template like I did. Happy editing! Technical 13 (talk) 19:33, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) It was marked as answered by Technical 13 in this edit [3] after I had asked the question. I didn't know what I needed to add, as I am used to having the parameter there to change.

Place SVG help request template on image talkpage

Hello. I do not have a vector graphics editor that is able to load File:World_homosexuality_laws.svg. I am skilled in text‐editing SVG files, but this file does not appear to be text‐editable. Is there a template I can place on the file’s talkpage (The file is located on Wikimedia Commons, but its talkpage is located on en.wikipedia.) to request an edit from users, interested in the articles’ WikiProjects, who are able to edit SVG files? Info por favor (talk) 19:40, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

File:World homosexuality laws.svg#filehistory shows it's already edited frequently. Do you really need more image editors? It has a talk page at both the English Wikipedia and commons:File talk:World homosexuality laws.svg. For a file at Commons the discussion logically belongs at Commons and there is much more activity there. I think the editors who posted to the English Wikipedia talk page made a mistake. PrimeHunter (talk) 20:24, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a template for an SVG edit request?

It has been established by precedent that discussion of marriage maps take‐place of en:wikipedia. I do not agree with this precedent.

― Info por favor (talk) 20:57, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Those examples do not establish any precedent. Both files were originally hosted at the English Wikipedia and already had discussion here when the files were moved to Commons, so somebody edited the Commons talk pages to point to the existing discussions. commons:File:World homosexuality laws.svg has never been at the English Wikipedia, the file is used in many Wikimedia projects, and its talk page is older and four times larger than the one at the English Wikipedia. You could post to Wikipedia:Graphics Lab/Map workshop but commons:Commons:Graphic Lab/Map workshop may be more appropriate for a Commons image. However, I suggest you start on commons:File talk:World homosexuality laws.svg when the file is already actively maintained. Include a reliable source for the wanted change. If you get no response there then you can consider other options. PrimeHunter (talk) 22:38, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

All Arms Junior Leaders' Regiment

Hey person editing from 68.151.241.2. If you click edit at the top of the article and then scroll to the bottom, you will see [[Category:British Cadet organisations]]. Removing that markup and saving will take the article out of the category. If you replaced it with [[Category:Regiments of the British Army]] then the article would be placed into that category. There are further refined categories listed at that category page. Note that I have not researched whether the change itself would be proper.
