In the process of creating a page for Tricia Aguirre

Answered: Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:33, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

https://www.newikis.com/en/wiki/User:Nerdypunkkid/Arise My name is James. I'm in the process of creating a page for Tricia Aguirre, not even as a musician anymore, but as an actress, because acting is the field she works in the most. Her full name is Patricia Lourdes Juanita Aguirre. Despite that fact that it's taking some time, I'm still working on it. For whatever reason, I'm not able to access her page https://www.newikis.com/en/wiki/User:Nerdypunkkid/Arise in order to continue fixing and tweaking so it'll eventually be suitable. I don't know what happened or why, but I need that page back, please, to keep working. I'm not completely familiar with the rudiments of Wikipedia and I only want her page to stay as neat and as polished as it can be. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:304:CDDA:EE40:A094:A1E9:932C:D1A5 (talk) 18:04, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

I have no idea what "newikis.com" may be, but it's not any part of WIkipedia or any other Wikimedia Foundaton project. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:37, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Is there an experienced editor fluent in English and Hebrew, who knows how to properly add the critically important supporting document and picture links presented on the talk page, to the article page?

Saint_Anne_Byzantine_Catholic_Church

To Whom It May Concern:

I wrote the entire wiki located at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Anne_Byzantine_Catholic_Church. There have been some worthwhile additions by others over the years.

User "Laurel Lodged" continues to remove a germane piece of information which obviously he/she does not understand given the fact they reside thousands of miles away. The information being removed is about the location Saint Anne Byzantine Church was first located.

Now "Laurel Lodged" threatens to have me "blocked" with "(Undid revision 678426831 by Dataproducts (talk)Please desist in this vandalism or your account will be blocked.)"

This needs to cease. How can this be stopped? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dataproducts (talk • contribs) 19:01, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

Firstly, do not claim ownershp of the article. Secondly, you are both in serious breach of the Edi Warring policy (WP:3r) and can be immediately blocked. Please engage in dialogue on the article's still unused talk page. PLease remeber to sign your poss. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:00, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Article now protected so that it can only be edited by administrators until the issue is resolved. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 04:24, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

• Kudpung, I agree with the edit warring charge (both sides are guilty), the ownership charge, and the protection. Everyone else, please note Talk:Saint_Anne_Byzantine_Catholic_Church, where Dataproducts's contribution would be appreciated. Drmies (talk) 15:14, 31 August 2015 (UTC)

Can an article be nuked from orbit for massive unsourceability?

I discovered Wyangala was GA nommed by a likely sock/meatpuppet of the article creator and passed last October. I found that in three paragraphs early in the history (as a proof of concept), not one thing stated matched any of the sources provided. Everything failed verification (due to widespread synthesis or original prose). It's up for community review, but nobody is picking it up to run with it, so it will likely be delisted. It's not being worked on by anyone else, either.

Therefore, it's unsourceable prose, backed up by sources that can't be tied to anything in the article in its present form. If it's as widespread as I think it is, I don't know that the article can be salvaged from its present state at all, because it will be more work to figure out what's accurate and what's not than it would be to rewrite it from scratch. Is there a mechanism to just wipe the article out and do that? MSJapan (talk) 04:46, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

You could cut it down to a bare stub, a sentence or two, and go from there, at least if no one objects. If they do, can go from that point as normal. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 05:06, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

How to handle an unnotable topic with multiple notable related topics

I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle an instance where a topic is not notable, but it has multiple closely related topics that are notable. I'm looking for a general answer, but my specific example is the game Heart Forth, Alicia. I don't think the game itself meets WP:GNG and thus shouldn't have its own article, but the publisher Chucklefish Games has an article and the composer Manami Matsumae does too. Right now, Heart Forth, Alicia redirects to Chucklefish Games, but this means someone looking for the game won't be able to find the composer very easily from searching for it. Should the game get an expanded section in the Chucklefish article that includes mention of the composer? Or should the game just not redirect to any article (more diplomatic, but less helpful to the casual googler)? I'd really appreciate some feedback on this. -IagoQnsi (talk) 17:49, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

I couldn't find a reference to that game in Chucklefish Game's website, nor vice-versa. Is this game still being published by them? ~Nylhce (talk) 22:22, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

The standard procedure is to create a redirect to the next most notable and appropriate related article after having merged any usable content. Redirects are as easy to find for the Wikipedia search engine and Internet search engines as any other pages. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 00:45, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Alright Kudpung, I guess I'll just leave it pointed to Chucklefish. And Nylhce, Chucklefish is sort of "back seat" publishing it if you will; they aren't providing funding outright, but they're providing resources and such and for all intents and purposes should be considered the publisher of the game. More info here. -IagoQnsi (talk) 15:08, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Picture of Anita O'Day

I do not think the picture that you show of Anita O'Day is really her picture. I knew her 30 years, and my husband , John Poole, was her drummer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.173.103.181 (talk) 20:26, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

The picture from 2005? She was perhaps older than when you knew her. Age affects us all. --Orange Mike | Talk 00:32, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

General board for article creation

Hello, I was wondering if there was any generalized area to talk about creating an article. Maybe a "notability noticeboard" or something. It's regarding an arson attack in the West Bank on 31 July. It's in the news again because the mother just died. It's already listed in a few areas, including List of Israeli price tag attacks, but I was wondering if it was appropriate by this point to break it off into a new article. I'm not usually one to create articles, with the Israeli-Palestine conflict especially is a powder keg around here. Checked out WP:RA and both the WikiProjects for Israel and Palestine, but none seem like an appropriate central place for discussion. hbdragon88 (talk) 08:31, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

There is the Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk; there used to be a Notability Noticeboard, but it was closed do to lack of interest from experienced editors (information on said closure can be found on the bottom of the noticeboard talkpage). ʍw 23:31, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

Insufficient information to respond. Please give us a link to the page you're trying to change so that we can see what you've tried. Have you uploaded the image already? We'll need a link to that as well. Regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 13:50, 8 September 2015 (UTC)

Deletion request on wikipedia page

Hi,

We have had three requests now to take down/edit our wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truck_and_Trailer_South_Africa

We realise that the content isnt sourced very well but there just isnt much info online for our brand. Is there anything we can do to make it better? We have mentions and not "full" coverage online... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bruce Ungersbock (talk • contribs) 06:21, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

The short answer is no, there is nothing you can do, if reliable sources as defined by Wikipedia are not out there already. Articles can be on Wikipedia only if the subject of the article is notable, which is the standard we use to determine whether or not an article can exist. See the general notability guideline for the basic standard and then see Notability (organizations and companies) for a broader discussion of how notability applies to companies. Moreover, even if adequate reliable sources do exist, you should not be editing your own article under our conflict of interest standards (though you should feel free to give them on the article talk page for some other editor to include, you can use the {{edit request}} template on the talk page for that purpose): if your company is important enough some independent editor will take the time to create or improve the article.
