Tip of the day...

How to create a category

Let us say you have thought of a new category you want to place some articles in. To create this new category, go to one of the pages that you wish to put there, and add a category tag naming the new category to the end of the article, like this:

[[Category:Category name]]

...where in place of category name you type the actual name of the category. When you save the page, the category should appear on the bottom line of the page. If it is indeed a new category, it will turn up in red. But this does not mean there is no such category: it might exist but with a slight difference in naming. Before you create a new category, make sure it does not already exist. In a new browser window, click on Special pages in the toolbox menu on the left side of your screen. Then click on All pages. Pick Category from the Namespace dropdown menu, and then enter the name of the category. Look over the index for synonymous categories.

Once you are sure your new name is good to go: Click on the redlink, and then click on the article creation link provided in the instructions that appear on your screen.

You will need to put a parent category on the new page, and then save the page. Going forward you can put your newly named category at the bottom of pages that you wish to add your new category to. Categories with too few pages in them are usually nominated for deletion.

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)
