Please help me with... Creating articles, translating from between Chinese to English Wikipedia's

Woshiyiweizhongguoren (talk) 19:13, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

For translating articles from Chinese to English, you may want to check WP:Translation. Please keep in mind that the English and Chinese Wikipedias are independent sister projects whose policies and guidelines may differ; there may be Chinese articles where a straight translation doesn't give a valid English article. Our license requires us to add a link to the original when we translate a page (that's best done on the talk page of the translated page); you can use Template:Translated page for that purpose.

Thank you sir. Woshiyiweizhongguoren (talk) 19:46, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

1. What's a user sandbox? 2. If anyone can edit Wikipedia, then won't people vandalize pages and add whatever BS they want? How common is this and how can I prevent it? 3. Does Wikipedia use MLA ot APA citations?

Woshiyiweizhongguoren (talk) 20:49, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

1) A user sandbox is a sandbox created as a subpage of a user page, see Wikipedia:User_pages#SUB.

2) There's plenty of vandalism; much of it gets dealt with by our WP:ABUSEFILTER and never makes it through; a good portion of the rest gets spotted and reverted by bots like User:ClueBot NG. There's no real way for a regular user to prevent it but you can WP:UNDO it whenever you see it, and there are initiatives like Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit that you can join.

3) The short answer is that, as a general rule, it's best to use citation templates like {{cite web}} that will automatically format your references. You can find out more at Help:Referencing for beginners. 78.28.54.83 (talk) 22:12, 22 March 2019 (UTC)

Please help me with... My draft article: Xiamen Bridge. It's a draft right now, not approved yet. When I go to other articles about Xiamen, though, the link is still red, as if it still doesn't exist. The same goes for the template on my user page. That's because it's an unapproved draft, am I right? It doesn't show up on search engines.

Woshiyiweizhongguoren (talk) 13:06, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

You're right that the links are red because the article is still a draft; however, it's worth noting that if someone were to click the red link to Xiamen Bridge, they'd be informed that your draft article exists and they'd have the option of clicking the link to it. You're also correct that drafts and user pages aren't indexed by search engines, see Wikipedia:Controlling_search_engine_indexing#Other_namespaces_and_robots.txt. 78.28.54.103 (talk) 13:52, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Louwailou (March 23)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Robert McClenon were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This draft has no references. Notability cannot be established without references. Do not resubmit this draft without references.

This page has too many redlinks. Occasional red links may be used as suggestions that the topics enclosed in brackets are notable topics for which articles are in order. However, multiple red links are distracting, and tend to indicate sloppy drafting. If drafts for the red links are in process, please note them in a comment or on the talk page. Otherwise, review the red links, which may be converted to plain text by removing the brackets or resolved by correcting spelling errors or introducing appropriate redirects, before resubmitting.

This draft reads promotionally in the voice of Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Louwailou and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Louwailou, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and will be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Xiamen Bridge (March 23)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Boothsift was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

More references are needed, the current one is a dead link.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Louwailou (March 23)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by AngusWOOF were:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Seems like a run-of-the-mill restaurant that a handful of celebrities visited.

Hello, I'm Sjö. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Ernst Chain, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please note that creationist apologists rarely are reliable sources for anything except their own opinions. Sjö (talk) 14:41, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't realize they were quote mined or biased. I got those quotes from a book about Christian theology. I will avoid supplying information from books like that in the future.Woshiyiweizhongguoren (talk) 15:44, 24 March 2019 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Frère Jacques, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. DonIago (talk) 13:30, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

Alright, there's a source now. Woshiyiweizhongguoren (talk) 14:42, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

I'm unable to load the source myself, which is a little concerning, but thanks for providing one. DonIago (talk) 15:16, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

The template on the bottom of my user page

Why is only the first line italics? Woshiyiweizhongguoren (talk) 11:04, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

I don't know, but I wanted to give you a heads-up about a typo in that template - you link to Sjo instead of Sjö. --bonadea contributions talk 16:58, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

Done and dealt with. Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 18:37, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

Drafts and articles

If a draft is declined at AfC, you should not resubmit the draft and also create the article in main space. David notMD (talk) 13:50, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

I already fixed all the issues addressed by the last reviewer. Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 14:41, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

A second reviewer might have decided that there were additional reasons to decline the article. What you did was a non-standard short-cut. Not for you to decide that all problems are solved. If there are still flaws in the article, it is possible that it will be nominated for deletion via AfD. (I have no intention of doing so.) If that path is taken, you will have time to further improve the article and contest the AfD. David notMD (talk) 16:35, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Yes sir. P. S. I pinged you, did you see? Woshiyiweizhongguoren (🇨🇳) 17:14, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
