December 22[edit]

WikiLibrary[edit]

I wanted to advise another editor that WikiLibrary is the key to getting many citations. But could I say where they could read about it? No. There is no WP:WikiLibrary or wp:wikilibrary. What am I missing? 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 01:05, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

John Maynard Friedman, try WP:LIBRARY, WP:LIB, WP:TWL or WP:WIKILIB. TSventon (talk) 01:28, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Those seem like reasonable searches, and now they are no longer red, and take you where you want to be. Mathglot (talk) 10:22, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

SIPRI database as source[edit]

Hello! I'd just like to ask for some advice regarding sourcing from SIPRI. List of equipment of the Philippine Army This page seems to cite sipri for its list of equipment a lot. However sipri does not "display" their info on their website but instead lets the user download a rich text file which contains the relevant info. And there seems to be no direct way of linking a specific country's trade register for citation. Would it be sufficient to simply link the sipri trade register page?

Welcome and thank you for your question about donations! To hide the fundraising banners, you can create an account and uncheck Preferences → Banners →

Fundraising. The Wikimedia Foundation does not track the identity of IP addresses, so it doesn't know your age, income level or whether you donated in the past.
None of the Wikipedia volunteer editors here who add and improve content in articles receive any financial benefit. We all simply contribute our time because we care about building a great encyclopedia for you and innumerable others around the world to use.
If you cannot afford it, no one wants you to donate. Wikipedia is not at risk of shutting down, and the Wikimedia Foundation, which hosts the Wikipedia platform and is asking for these donations, is richer than ever.
We are led to believe that users who allow cookies are less likely to see these banners on repeat visits (further information is available here), and you are welcome to communicate directly with the donor-relations team by emailing donate@wikimedia.org. Thank you! —Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 07:34, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
