[edit]how we can inherit stewardship for the varying Bureau of Sanitation related sites

- Somebody will probably come along and provide specifics, but, the short answer is "you can't". This link has details: WP:OWN ~:71.20.250.51 (talk) 01:56, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- However, it depends on what you mean by "inherit stewardship", see this section of the article: WP:STEWARDSHIP Added:04:26, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- Susan, I encourage you to read about Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline, username policy, and organisation name policy before becoming involved with the articles on Bureau of Sanitation sites. Maproom (talk) 08:12, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
Where do I find the Wikipedia file of non-acceptable sources ?
[edit]Having had the experience of over 4,000 edits in Wikipedia, I understand much of what I want to ask, except for one little detail. First, a little story: The elderly teacher tells her young class on the first day of school, "I have no rules in the class, just be nice, and if you break one of my rules, I'll tell you." A year or two ago, I had a reference blocked by the software and got a note I had referenced a website that was on the 'black list' or some such wording. I spent more than half an hour trying to find the list of such sources, and found nothing except the Wikipedia article on black list and black-listing. (That was fun to read.) I understand the thinking, practice, and procedures of the majority of good and almost good editors of Wikipedia, but still would like to know if there is a file or a list of acceptable sources and which sources the software will block, rather than by my trial-and-error. Can someone mention where to find this? Thanks in advance. — Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 02:19, 6 March 2014 (UTC) —PS: I understand to not use blogs and sites that are obscure.
- Searching just now, I've come across MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist; is this the best source? Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 02:19, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- I think you are looking for MediaWiki:Titleblacklist. — {{U|Technical 13}} (t • e • c) 02:27, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- I doubt it - that is the title blacklist - and it is barely readable by the 99% of the population that don't understand regex syntax. AndyTheGrump (talk) 02:33, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- The post is clearly about MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. black list starts:
- It's also the first search result for wp:blacklist or wp:black list. PrimeHunter (talk) 02:41, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) It could also be an Edit filter, but most of those are unlisted and you can't see what is there unless you have a special permission which is very difficult to get due to the possible damage that could be done if a simple mistake made it good faith occurred. The "title" blacklist affects more than just page titles too. I suppose if we are going to link to all of the possible things that could have prevented an edit, we should also mention MediaWiki:Bad image list. — {{U|Technical 13}} (t • e • c) 02:46, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- It's also the first search result for wp:blacklist or wp:black list. PrimeHunter (talk) 02:41, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
Thanks so much! I really appreciate the insights—and I see that "It is not just me" regards to finding the 'to-be-avoided' list. I'll just "carry on." — Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 15:12, 6 March 2014 (UTC) — PS, I put a 'watch' here to continue learning on a variety of interesting and useful insights for editing Wikipedia. {[(Good to hear from you, not-so-Grumpy Andy)]}
- major newspaper sites and books.google.com * and items from scholar.google.com are almost always going to be acceptable sources or at least not blocked by the filter. (*books.google is getting a lot of Lulu self published and Wikipedia scraped "content" so you do need to watch for them.) -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 15:27, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
How to not go directly to edit box
[edit]How do I set it to not go directly to edit box? Now when I hit preview, instead of going to the preview on top, it automatically goes to the box. Also, when I click to welcome (Creating User talk), it goes to the box, so I have to go to the top to click on "wel" (Twinkle). Is there a way so it goes to the top as it normally does on other pages? --Musdan77 (talk) 03:52, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- There's some discussion about this at Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)/Archive 124#Preview now jumps directly to edit window. For what it's worth, I'm not seeing this behaviour. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:55, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
First State
[edit]Good Day -
I am thoroughly disappointed with several discrepancies on the Wikipedia website. The both, ironically enough, have to do with The First State of Delaware.
First, when "The Diamond State" is typed into Wikipedia Search, you are directed to the state of Arkansas portal. "The Diamond State" is almost always associated with the state of Delaware. In fact, Thomas Jefferson contributed to this nickname by calling Delaware "a jewel among states" - several decades before Arkansas would become a state itself. This error, it would seem, needs to be corrected.
Secondly, whom ever maintains the Delaware portal does an inadequate job as it pertains to various facts. At one time, and this went uncorrected for several months, Dover was ranked as the third most populated city in the state, when, in fact, it passed Newark in the 1980's to become the second most populated city in the state.
Also, it perplexes me as to why Delaware (Maryland and Washington, D.C. included), is not considered to be a part of the Northeastern Corridor. Am I to believe that the United States Census Bureau is the judge and jury when it comes to deciding the cultural divide? Mind boggling indeed...
A response would be much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.Firststate77 (talk) 06:42, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you for pointing out the mistakes. I have corrected the redirect. In the Arkansas article there was no mention of "The Diamond State" so I changed the redirect to Diamond State, which is the correct disambiguation page. On that page both Delaware and Arkansas were included.
- As for the other problems, I'm not clear on which articles had the problem. Many articles are maintained by people who have an interest in them, but there is no one in charge of any article. We are all volunteers here, and sometimes mistakes are made. I have found in many cases that nothing gets done unless I do it myself. You can too, though sometimes it is best to discuss.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 20:50, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Please note that you are at Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia that anyone can edit, and this page is for asking questions related to using or contributing to Wikipedia itself. Thus, we have no special knowledge about the subject of your question. You can, however, search our vast catalogue of articles by typing a subject into the search field on the upper right side of your screen.

Image uploading rights
[edit]Currently I don't have rights to upload a photo on Wikipeida so I upload it on Wiki commons but later that image was removed because of copyright violation (it was copy-righted but free to use). Please help me what else I can do? If possible any admin please confirm me I will be very thankful to him. --INPanda Talk 06:48, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- In another 3 hours your account will be 4 days old, so at that stage you should be auto-confirmed. --David Biddulph (talk) 07:59, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- @IndianPanda: Hi IndianPanda. What is referred to above is autoconfirmation, a threshold to take certain actions including uploading images that is passed when an account is more than four day old and has made at least ten edits. The problem here is that even after you have the technical ability to upload the image, you may not do so properly, and the image of Radhakrishna Hariram Tahiliani will simply be deleted from here as well. The dictates of the fair use policy do not allow uploads (except in rare circumstances, not applicable here) of non-free images of living persons because of the concept of replaceability. So please don't spend any more time on attempting to upload this image. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 13:11, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- What do you mean "copyrighted but free to use"? Anything appropriately "free to use" on Wikipedia is also "free to use" on Commons. (Some things that are NOT "free to use" may be loaded onto Wikipedia because we are able to claim a WP:FAIR-use exception of copyright.) -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 20:11, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

I have requested for an article on my company. No response yet
[edit]I had requested for an article for my company, and provided all press and media links as well. However, I have not heard back or can see the article. Can somebody please guide me if I am in fact going about it the right way. Thanks. My company name is Reado.com from India. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SiddharthSuneja (talk • contribs) 12:00, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- You made your request about a week ago. I have today moved it into its correct position in alphabetical order. You will have seen how many similar requests are in the list. If your company is sufficiently notable in Wikipedia terms, then it is likely that an editor will decide to write an article about it relatively soon. If it is not regarded as particularly notable, it may have to wait for years. Remember, There is no deadline. --David Biddulph (talk) 12:14, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for the reply. Juts wanted to check that if the editors at Wikipedia feel that my company is not notable enough, will I be notified of the same? or it will remain in the requested articles list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.63.194.254 (talk) 06:53, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
how to remove error message
[edit]Hi,
I went in to edit the information on Romper Room for CJCH TV in Halifax, NS. I have created some kind of error message after my edit. The name given was Ann Wilson. she was the national Romper Room lady I believe. My mother Jo-Anne Lawson was the Romper Room lady during that time frame for CTV in Halifax.
Just wondering how to remove the error message?
I did not send a reference url. I do have a picture though.
Thxs — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.167.150.252 (talk) 14:53, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- I assume this was about Romper_Room#Canada. Someone had added an empty <ref></ref> pair of tags. I have removed them, so the error message is gone. Maproom (talk) 16:34, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
Elizabeth barret browning page as seen on my mobile device
[edit]I was just using my mobile phone to look at the page for Elizabeth barret browning. instead of viewing pictures of her there were pictures of penises. however when I looked up the same info on my computer the pictures were only of miss browning.
- looks fine to me. there have been a massive amount of edits today so there could have been some vandalism that slipped in when you were first looking and then was quickly repaired. you can page through the changes of the article [1] to see if you can find the issue. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 15:20, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
DEFAULTSORT
[edit]I feel kind of dumb asking this, still I'll do it:
The Cippi of Melqart article using this default sorting
- {{DEFAULTSORT:Cippi Of Melqart}} (note the capital O)
was not showing up at all (as it should -at least I think so; I repeat, I presently feel dumb- since the lang|phn template is used therein triggering the category inclusion) at the Articles containing Phoenician-language text category (created yesterday) and I couldn't figure out why (I still can't...) or how to fix it. The category just appeared to be empty (yes, I know, Phoenician text...). I purged and waited and purged again, but nothing. Today adding to the Phoenician alphabet article the lang|phn code (where appropriate), the latter article instantly appeared inside said category. The Cippi article though, was still missing therefrom. So I purged, waited and purged again and waited..., but still nothing.
Then realising the presence of the capital O spelling and trying my luck, I changed it to
- {{DEFAULTSORT:Cippi of Melqart}} (note the lower case O).
The moment I did that, the page instantly appeared at said category.
Could someone please explain this to me?!? Thanx.
P.S. 3rd time is a winner: I feel dumb...
Thanatos|talk|contributions 15:08, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
{{lang|phn}}
has code to only add the category if the category page has been created. Category:Articles containing Phoenician-language text was created yesterday, but Cippi of Melqart had not been edited since then. You should have made a null edit (or any other edit) of the article to rerender the page and force an update of associated link tables and categories. A purge rerenders the page but doesn't update associated link tables and category pages. A purge of a category page only processes the wikitext of the category. It does not update the page listings. The problem and solution had nothing to do with DEFAULTSORT. The first edit of the article after the category was created just happened to be your change of DEFAULTSORT today. PrimeHunter (talk) 16:42, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- I wish I'd known that the relevant function and explanation was listed under Purge. Thanx. Understood. Now I can stop feeling like a fool... ;-) Thanatos|talk|contributions 22:25, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Russell Blaylock Post
[edit]This post contains a number of factual errors and is obviously written by a critic. I am not opposed to safe vaccines. Many of the items listed as "conspiracy theory" are supported by factual data and not "theory". The medical opinions I give are all supported by scientific researchers accepted scientific literature, and are referenced carefully in my articles. Many of my qualifications to address these various subjects has been omitted. In addition,my published articles (in Pubmed) have been ignored. Many of these articles have been referenced by experts in these various fields. This is obviously a hatchet job by a critic and not an objective presentation. It should either be corrected or removed.

- All further discussions should take place on the article talk page, Talk:Russell_Blaylock.
- Mr Blaylock, you need to specify exactly what you object to and why, on Talk:Russell_Blaylock. For example - you said, "I am not opposed to safe vaccines". The article does not say "Blaylock is opposed to safe vaccines".
- It should state neutral facts supported by references. If it doesn't, we will remove the claims. Please be as specific as possible. 88.104.31.21 (talk) 20:39, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Unwarranted threat
[edit]I just received a notice that I had committed an act of vandalism by changing an an article about John D Lee. This was supposed to have occurred in 2008. I have never written, modified, deleted, or otherwise altered any article on Wikipedia at any time. Nor do I have any kind of membership with Wikipedia and have never sought any association with Wikipedia except as a reader. Further more, I have never even looked at the entry for John D Lee.
Your threats are not justified and I take offense at your unwarranted claims. You have a lot of nerve hurling threats at people without first determining who they are. You want all of the entries in Wikipedia to be properly annotated. It is about time for you to do the same. Research your sources before making unjustified threats to your users.

Glen Ivy Hot Springs Article
[edit]To Whome It May Concern:
I am a registered Wikipedia user looking to write a new article "Glen Ivy Hot Springs." I work in the Marketing Department at Glen Ivy. I want to write an article for historical and informational purposes, not for marketing purposes. Writing this article will create a lot of work for me. Before I begin to gather my information and write the article, I want to make sure that I won't be wasting my time. I have seen a lot of information on Wikipedia "help" articles discussing conflicts of interest and writing about companies. I would hate to do all the work and then discover that the article has been denied or deleted. Any insight you may have on this would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely, Ashley Seward — Preceding unsigned comment added by GlenIvy (talk • contribs) 18:57, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- Ignoring the conflict of interest issues for the moment, I have to ask why you think that Wikipedia should have an article on Glen Ivy Hot Springs at all? As our notability guidelines make clear, we need clear evidence from published third-party reliable sources that an article subject is of encyclopaedic notability in order to justify an article - and from a quick Google search, I can't see any obvious indication of this. What is significant about the Springs which makes you think the subject merits an entry in an encyclopaedia? AndyTheGrump (talk) 19:18, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- "Ignoring the conflict of interest issues"? O_O 88.104.31.21 (talk) 20:25, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- It's a bad idea. As you have read, "Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing". (WP:COI)
- Wikipedia strives to be neutral, and it's pretty much impossible for a marketing executive to be utterly neutral about their company.
- If it's notable, someone else will write about it.
- I highly recommend you avoid a lot of anguish, and give up on the idea. Please write about something else instead.
- I realise that your intentions are good, but I still highly suggest you don't go into this quagmire.

Same name, two different persons
[edit]Dear wikies, I have written an article about Stefano Rosso CEO of a fashion group, as there is an italian siger with the same name I had to call the article "Stefano Rosso OTB", is it possible to create a disambiguation page and change the name to Stefano Rosso, without "OTB"?
Thanks in advance! Mochilla — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mochilla (talk • contribs) 19:16, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- I have taken care of that problem. With only two persons with this name, it is generally not necessary to use a disambiguation page. If one Stefano Rosso is more famous than the other (and I have no way of knowing which one would be), then it is the usual practice to use a hatnote as I did on Stefano Rosso (And I see you got this advice here).
- If the Stefano Rosso you wrote about is more famous, we could do it the other way. Whether we should change the singer's name to Stefano Rossi, his birth name, might be controversial. If they were equally famous, we could do a disambiguation page. For now, let's leave it this way.
- You should add more than just the URL to your references. If you don't, it might not be possible to find the information later without more to search for.
- And don't forget to sign your name.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 21:10, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- I also took the liberty of moving the article to a title which better reflects how we name articles here. OTB is not part of Mr. Rosso's name.— Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 22:12, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- I've just seen your response, thank you very much, I completely agree with the new title and I'll look for more references. User talk:mochilla March 9

[edit]Hi there -
We are contacting you from the Keith Haring Foundation. About 45 minutes ago, we made numerous revisions to the Keith Haring Wikipedia page. These revisions came out of our encyclopedic knowledge of Haring's life and work. Within a few minutes of posting these revisions, they were REVERTED by the following user: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mike_Rosoft
Please advise how we may resolve this situation.
Many thanks, Keith Haring Foundation New York, NY — Preceding unsigned comment added by KeithHaringFoundation (talk • contribs) 22:13, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- Mike Rosoft is an administrator. Consider contacting him directly instead. Your edit appeared to include original research. The article should be written with third-party sources. Your username also violates our username policy because it is promotional. K6ka (talk | contribs) 22:18, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) As people with a conflict of interest you should not be directly editing the article. You can post reliably published sources on the talk page and make suggestions which other editors who do not have a conflict of interest can evaluate and include if appropriate. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 22:20, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
