Teahouse talkback: you've got messages![edit]

Hello, GinnevraDubois. Your question has been answered at the Teahouse Q&A board. Feel free to reply there!
Please note that all old questions are archived after 2-3 days of inactivity. Message added by Joe Roe (talk) 21:36, 4 September 2016 (UTC). (You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{teahouse talkback}} template).[reply]

Hello! You need to cite your sources when you add new information to the encyclopedia. Please see WP:V for more information about that. I have reverted your changes at William Terriss until you can cite your sources. If you need help with formatting, don't worry -- just add the information, and we'll format it for you: author name, name of the article (or chapter and book), url and/or page number, publisher name and city, date of publication. Also, we don't need to give the street address of his birthplace, although you could name what part of London it was in. Thank you, and Happy Editing! -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:13, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Ginnevra, and Welcome to Wikipedia. Please read the Welcome message at the top of this page, and explore the links about editing, which are good for newcomers. Yes, you can post to my talk page, but we may as well keep the conversation here in one place. Also, when you want to suggest changes to a particular article, it is best to post to the Talk page of that article (there is a Talk tab at the top of every article.). Always sign your name at the end of your message by typing four tildes, like this: ~~~~. That will automatically add your name and a date stamp.
Anyhow, you wrote that you had seen this:
"In 1868 he obtained at the Prince of Wales Theatre, Birmingham, his first remunerated engagement (not a very lucrative one, I8j. per week) as "Chouser" in The Flying Scud. In this he had a most important speech to deliver, which, in his nervousness, he forgot. He managed to blurt out, "Lady Woodbee has come to town"; and when told by a fellow-actor to go on with his part, he said, "and the rest," and retreated. From that day he was known among his comrades by the sobriquet, "The Rest." "
I saw that you added the name of the play, but you did not state your source. Where did you read this? (Include the author name, name of the article (or chapter and book), url and/or page number, publisher name and city, date of publication). BTW, Talk page messages on Wikipedia look better with fewer spaces, so it's better not to make lots of little paragraphs. Thanks! -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:28, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dispute resolution[edit]

When you make a change on Wikipedia, if another user disagrees with you, they may revert the change. Pursuant to WP:BRD, if you continue to disagree, you should open a discussion on the article's Talk page. Do not re-revert; that is called WP:EDIT WARring. I do not agree that the image that you added to Arthur Sullivan is better than the signed image that we already have from earlier in his career at Leipzig. If you disagree, you should make your argument on the Talk page, and other editors can then join the discussion. All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 04:38, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Antonio Jimenez (actor) moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Antonio Jimenez (actor), is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Pridemanty (talk) 10:03, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are many independent, reliable sources in this article, just one of them is from a blog, pray tell me what can be more independent or reliable than articles from well-known newspapers and television networks in Colombia? PLEASE be specific about which source you consider not suitable?
These articles are not drafts and nevertheless they were accepted [some with reservations]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carolina_Acevedo
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adriana_Arboleda
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angie_Cepeda [no references]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carina_Cruz
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar%C3%ADa_Dalmazzo
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar%C3%ADa_Helena_Doering [no references]
These articles contain some of the sources of my article, what is the difference?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danielle_Arciniegas
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dora_Cadavid
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nina_Caicedo
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paulina_D%C3%A1vila
This article has only references about her death:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adriana_Campos
I can give you many more examples and please be specific about the difference between them and mine.

I requested help from the person who moved my article to draft giving him numerous examples of pages

that were not moved to draft, but were less complete or entirely lack references and he did not answer me at all. Please help. GinnevraDubois (talk) 22:10, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When you link to another Wikipedia article or page, the whole url is unnecessary- you only need to place the title in double brackets([[Joe Biden]] appears as Joe Biden). Using the whole url locks users into a version of Wikipedia that they might not prefer(mobile or desktop).
That another article exists does not mean that it was approved by anyone(unless you can specifically show where it gained approval, but even then it could have changed since being approved). Please see other stuff exists. There are many ways for inappropriate articles to exist- this cannot justify adding more inappropriate articles. This is why each article is considered on its own merits. As this is a volunteer project, we can only address what we know about. If you want to use other articles as a model or example, use those that are classified as good articles, which have indeed received community vetting.
I'm not clear on what administrative action you are seeking here that cannot be handled with a more general help request. Admins have no more authority than any other editor, just extra tools. 331dot (talk) 07:43, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My question is why my article was moved to draft when others that were similar in nature were not. As a new article creator, I need that you clarify with specific examples, why my article was moved to a draft. I need help that way, please be kind and provide the help I am requesting. Reasons as to why please.
