Tip of the day...

Redirects

A redirect is a page that has the sole purpose to automatically redirect readers to a differently named page; to take the reader where they really wanted to go. Redirects allow a topic to have more than one title. Redirects are used for synonyms, abbreviations (initialisms), acronyms, accented terms (diacritics), misspellings, typos, nicknames (pseudonyms), scientific names, etc.

To create a redirect for the term "Oof":

1. Type Oof in the search box, press ↵ Enter
2. Click on the redlink for Oof that it presents
3. In the edit window that appears, type #REDIRECT [[Foo]] on the first line to make it lead to the article Foo
4. Redirects should be organized in to categories too. Each redirect can have up to seven redirect categories. Categories go on the third line of the redirect. (Note: Plant has a subcategory within the category of scientific name; enter plant after a pipe).

Here are two examples of a redirect category using a category template:

• {{R from birth name}}
• {{R from scientific name|plant}}

Preview your new redirect before saving it. Make sure:

1. There is a big right-facing arrow to the left of the bolded name of your target page name.
2. That your target page is bolded in blue (if it is red, go back and double check your target name in the edit window).
3. That your redirect category has rendered properly and that the boilerplate it presents makes sense.

WikiProject Visual arts

Hi Marina Melik-Adamyan,

I saw your work on articles related to visual art and wanted to say hello, as I work in the topic area too. If you haven't already, you might want to watch the WikiProject Visual arts talk page, which is a noticeboard for Wikipedia's fine arts coverage. It's a great place to ask questions, collaborate, discuss style/structure precedent, and stay informed about content related to artists and fine arts. Take a look for yourself!

And if you're looking for other juicy places to edit, consider adopting a cleanup category or participating in one of our current formal discussions.

Feel free to say hi on my talk page and let me know if these links were helpful (or at least interesting). Welcome to Wikipedia! Hope to see you around. czar 17:39, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

File:Tuff road, Gyumri, Armenia.jpg

On 5 December 2018, you uploaded this photo to Wikimedia Commons. Thank you for uploading this photo. On the photo's description page, you describe the material of the road as tuff but you added the photo to the tufa article in English Wikipedia. There is widespread confusion about these rock types and their English names (and it is mentioned in the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article: "Tufa, which is calcareous, should not be confused with tuff, a porous volcanic rock with a similar etymology that is sometimes also called "tufa".") You appear to have fallen into this geological terminology trap. Therefore, I removed the photo from the tufa article until, I hope, uncertainty about the rock's composition can be resolved.

I have searched the internet and I have discovered that Gyumri is in a volcanic area and, according to Sahakyan et al. (2016) "An Attempt of using Ecological Standards for assessing Urban River Water Quality (а case study of Gyumri)", National Academy of Sciences of RA Electronic Journal of Natural Sciences, 1(26), page 30, "The environs of the city are rich in building material: tuff, basalt, diatomite, clay as well as fertile chernozem soils".

This description suggests to me that your photo probably shows tuff rather than tufa. Therefore, I think that the photo should not be included in Wikipedia's tufa article. Do you agree with my opinion? GeoWriter (talk) 13:09, 6 December 2018 (UTC)
