Edinburgh Council reviewing if Wikipedia library access is ‘still fit for purpose’

Saw this and wondered if it was suitable for WP:PRESS. All it seems to show is that Edinburgh Council is not fit for purpose, because Wikipedia never has and never will promise that all of its articles are suitable for children to read. ♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 17:41, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

I looked at it and IMO it's borderline, so I didn't add it. I won't object if you do. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 19:29, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

ZM

I just remembered my concerns about that source you put in the McLellan article.[1] I'd like to remove it because the headline of the news article sensationalizes something we don't (for good reason) contextualize in the WP article. Would you oppose the removal? Should I raise it at BLPN? I'm in no rush and not looking for trouble. Thomas B (talk) 16:17, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Yes, I'm opposed since it's a good source, adding to WP:N. The WP:HEADLINE doesn't matter, and the context is what it is. You can raise it at BLPN and WP:APPNOTE the talkpage, or vice versa. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:13, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

OK. If you're opposed and think it's important, I think I'll leave it alone for now. Cheers, Thomas B (talk) 21:05, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Asmallbigworld (18:04, 18 October 2024)

Hello - I was looking to update a page that was blocked. I am not sure who the original owner was, or their login. I wanted to rewrite the page so it followed the guidelines but wasn't sure if I need access to the previous version that was blocked or if the correct route would be to start a new one altogether. Thanks. --Asmallbigworld (talk) 18:04, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

@Asmallbigworld Are you talking about an article that exists now, or a deleted one, perhaps WP:SALTed? Either way, what is/was the name of the article? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 18:08, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

@Gråbergs Gråa Sång It was a company article about DataXoom and was written by Dataxoom2020. The block reason was it read like an advertisement. Asmallbigworld (talk) 18:13, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

@Asmallbigworld Ok. Well, you can try, but per what I see at [2], it might not be possible to find the sources to meet the demands of WP:NORG. If you have those sources, the recommended route is to use WP:Article Wizard. Without good sources, an article will not be accepted. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 18:28, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

@Gråbergs Gråa Sång

I was able to find some linkable articles from tech blogs, yahoo news, and others (below). Is your recommendation to just create a new page instead of trying to unblock the previous page? Thank you for your assistance so far.

Per WP:N, which of these are the 3 best ones? Consider WP:BLOG. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 19:06, 18 October 2024 (UTC)

Probably yahoo (news) and fierce network (industry specific) articles may be the best...

Yahoo (see the entry at WP:RSP) fairly often posts stuff from elsewhere, it's marked at the top of the article. #1 is from TechRepublic, but it may be ok anyway. Trademag "articles" is sometimes targeted advertising, but this isn't obviously that.

2 looks like a press release, not independent.

3 Possibly ok-ish. I don't know anything about that site. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:34, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Ping to @Orangemike if you wish to comment, you blocked the original article-creator in 2021.[3] Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:42, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

@Gråbergs Gråa Sång Fierce Network probably isn't a household name, but it is within the industry.

@Orangemike Let me know if you think we can get the page back up. Happy to rewrite it/source it to be more in line with your standards. Asmallbigworld (talk) 13:28, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

Bluntly, just about every bit of this looks like regurgitated press releases and glorified blog posts. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:54, 23 October 2024 (UTC)

@Gråbergs Gråa Sång @Orangemike

Got it. So, if I rewrote it and linked to some of those articles, it would still be rejected. Noted. I'll try again once more savory articles are available. Asmallbigworld (talk) 13:34, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Regarding RSN

Hello, Gråbergs Gråa Sång. I was in the middle of responding to you when you remove the thread at some point. While it seems like the situation might have been resolved, I figured I would still send this reply in case it changes anything.

So, this seems to be a birthday issue. Reviewing past discussions, E! Online has been discussed three times that I could find: 2008 where one person agreed it was reliable, 2009 where one person said it was reliable, and 2016 where one person said it was unreliable. Given the limited past discussion and that this is just regarding a date of birth, I have a suggestion. Rather than trying to determine if E! Online is or isn't reliable, we could use a verified social media account of an article subject instead. Perhaps, this Instagram post from January 13, 2021 might be enough to do the trick. --Super Goku V (talk) 08:22, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

@Super Goku V Did you see my ES:[4]? I am generally ok with WP:ABOUTSELF sources for WP:DOB, but your insta here is of the kind that makes me ask "Is he saying "Thank you all for the birthday wishes." the same day, the next day or the week after?" See Wikipedia_talk:Biographies_of_living_persons/Archive_48#Tweets_announcing_"Happy_birthday_to_me!_I'm_21_today!". Hope this makes an amount of sense. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:29, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

I see it now. I don't see how ABOUTSELF would apply as the author is not Tyler Henry, but if the situation is resolved, then I am fine with it. Regarding the Instagram post, I do understand your meaning. I hadn't considered that earlier about this post. (I did have a similar thought with a different post this year where I thought that one was too vague.) In any case, sorry for any trouble. --Super Goku V (talk) 08:41, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

@Super Goku V My take is that since E! is writing about their employee, he had an upcoming show there at the time, I'll consider it close enough to a profile page on a company website, and I would consider such a page ABOUTSELF-good.

Of course they might be lying about his age to make him older/younger and prettier, or to align his DOB with ancient prophesies, but that is not my default assumption. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:56, 31 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Race5103 (12:06, 9 November 2024)

Good morning. I am leaving Calgary for the winter in just three weeks so am full of things to do. If I don't get started don't be alarmed I should be able to once I relocate. I'm looking forward to it.

Lou --Race5103 (talk) 12:06, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Hi Lou. afaict, your comment is not related to Wikipedia. Or do you mean that you intend to start editing in three weeks? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:09, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!

Thanks for indexing Category:Wikipedia press coverage for so many years. Bluerasberry (talk) 14:58, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

@Bluerasberry Thank you. I'm traveling for the moment, so I'm not doing any of that for now. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 15:28, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Anjadkundi (06:46, 16 November 2024)

Hi, I wanted to edit http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Sort_(Unix) -> Sorting on Multiple Fields section, as I can think of a better example. I wanted to discuss the same with the original writer of the page. Could you help with how could I do this? --Anjadkundi (talk) 06:46, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

@Anjadkundi That Article is from 2006, and I think the original editor last edited in 2016. If you don't want to be WP:BOLD, you can try asking for input at the article talkpage, or at WT:COMP. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:00, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from Nicolelobo (06:17, 28 October 2024)

Hello,

I'm trying to publish a page I made about Chef Nigel. I was wondering why I am unable to publish? --Nicolelobo (talk) 06:17, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

@Nicolelobo I don't know the details, but WP:AUTOCONFIRM could be it. I also recommend you to take a good look at WP:BACKWARD and Help:Your first article. Trying to create an acceptable WP-article without having any experience in editing WP is hard. WP:TUTORIAL may be of help to you. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:23, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

Question from Namonsnams on User:Namonsnams/sandbox (11:16, 23 November 2024)

Hello Frostly, I recently wrote an article yesterday and got the message that it was published. I don’t know why l am unable to see it on the Wikipedia space. Please, help me edit and comment. Thank you so much.😊 --Namonsnams (talk) 11:16, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

@Namonsnams, I am not User:Frostly, but: you can not move User:Namonsnams/sandbox to article space yourself, since you are not WP:AUTOCONFIRMEDed. You can submit it though, see Wikipedia:So_you_made_a_userspace_draft#Ready!.

However, my view is that this article will not be accepted, and WP:PUFFERY is only one of the reasons. Wikipedia is meant not for promotion. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 03:19, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Wikipedia press coverage

Hi there, Gråbergs Gråa Sång. I realize you have not been very active lately and hope you are not facing any serious problems. I have nevertheless missed your updates of Wikipedia:Press coverage 2024. Any chance you will be returning to this soon? Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 15:27, 23 November 2024 (UTC)

@Ipigott Thanks for reaching out! I've been travelling since around the 11th, but I'm back since yesterday. I did some edits by phone, but I'm not used to it and don't like it.

I expect I'll get back to my WP-in-the-media habits, but I'll probably not do a lot on the "back-log", so if there's a good news-article you think should be inserted somewhere, don't let me stop you. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 03:30, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

Concern Regarding the Removal of My Edit

Dear Wikipedia Editors,

Thanks in advance for your consideration and I look forward to your response. I am writing to address the recent removal of my edit concerning [specific section or topic] on the [article name] page. I believe my contribution adhered to Wikipedia’s neutrality, verifiability, and sourcing guidelines.

The edit aimed to provide a balanced perspective by including [specific details about your edit]. The information was supported by reliable sources, ensuring it met the standard for verifiability. Its removal without detailed reasoning has raised concerns about the consistent application of Wikipedia’s content policies.

I kindly request clarification regarding the reasons for the edit’s removal. If specific aspects require improvement or additional sourcing, I am more than willing to revise and refine my contribution. I intend to uphold the integrity and quality of the article while adhering to Wikipedia’s core principles. Thank you for your time and understanding. I look forward to your guidance and feedback on how to proceed with this matter. KeerthanaManiN (talk) 15:17, 4 December 2024 (UTC) KeerthanaManiN (talk) 08:38, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

This seems to be about 2024 Sambhal violence, but because of what I assume is some sort of AI-writing, this is far from clear. AI tends to use a lot of words and say nothing, so my advice is, don't use it to try to talk to Wikipedians. Discussions about that article can take place at Talk:2024 Sambhal violence, where interested editors can comment as they feel they should. WP:DR might be of interest to you. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:47, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Fwiw, I commented at Talk:2024_Sambhal_violence#Extended-confirmed-protected_edit_request_on_4_December_2024. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 11:08, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes, it looks like a template. But be aware the author's User: page says I am just ten years old, so a special care may be needed for communication clarity. --CiaPan (talk) 11:49, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

Question from MKepolas (16:10, 11 December 2024)

Hi and good morning. I sit in the 310th space wing public affairs office and have been tasked with updating our Wing's wiki page. Unfortunately, my new account appears to be unable to upload a photo of our new/current wing commander. Is there a way I can do this, or contact a user that can upload and edit this on my behalf? --MKepolas (talk) 16:10, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

@MKepolas Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. You should be able to use this tool: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard

At File:Col James R. Taggart.jpg (the current pic) see "Licensing" and mark your upload like that, assuming the license fits. Call it Col James R. Taggart 2024 or something like that. When it's uploaded, it can be added to the WP-article 310th Space Wing. Is this [5] the pic you want to upload?

If you can't upload it, let me know and I'll do it. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:47, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

...Or maybe you have a new [6] commander? Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:56, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes, we have a new commander. It appears that with the way our network is configured that I am unable to login to the image upload tool. I will edit the page with Fisher's information, if you would please upload the photo from our web page. I have the display photo listed as Col Adam H. Fisher.jpg, the file dimensions from our site are 2400x3000 pixels. MKepolas (talk) 17:12, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

@MKepolas Image uploaded and inserted. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 17:31, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

I see you have already uploaded the Photo. Thank you, it is very much appreciated. Hopefully once I meet the time/participation requirements for Wikipedia I will be able to accomplish these changes myself. MKepolas (talk) 17:32, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
