January music

Happy new year 2025, opened with trumpet fanfares that first sounded OTD in 1725 (as the Main page had). My story today is about a composer who influenced music history also by writing. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:22, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

... and today, pictured on the Main page, Tosca, in memory of her first appearance on stage OTD in 1900, and of principal author Brian Boulton. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:57, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The poster is certainly beautiful! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 20:32, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

yes! - Today I had a composer (trumpeter, conductor) on the main page who worked closely with another who just became GA, - small world! To celebrate: mostly flowers pics from vacation ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:34, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Mamani1990 (13:17, 8 January 2025)

Hello again dear mentor, I have another newbie question. I got my first taste of patrolling the "Recent changes" using Twinkle yesterday, and I quite frankly love it. I really had no idea the amount of BS that patrollers have to put up with. My question is, when I'm un-doing vandalism and warning the users in question, these actions trigger that those articles and users end up in my watchlist - I don't want this. Is there a way to stop Wiki automatically adding things to my watch list when I patrol recent changes? I have articles in my watch list that I care about and it's making it hard to decipher them when I constantly need to manually remove the articles I patrolled. Any tip is appreciated. Thank you! Enjoy your day. --Mamani1990 (talk) 13:17, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mamani1990 Hi! You have access to a personal Twinkle configuration panel at Wikipedia:Twinkle/Preferences. For each task, you can select how long you wish for pages to remain in your watchlist, and there is of course a "Don't add to watchlist" option. Good luck with Twinkle, and happy to see that you're learning fast! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 17:14, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Concerns re: Pure Hockey

I am hopeful that the editing of the article with multiple additional sources will satisfy your concerns regarding Pure Hockey. U193581 (talk) 16:57, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello mentor.

I'm making some bold moves here. I'd appreciate your feedback. Could I apply the same logic to future articles I come across? What about this one here? Thank you in advance. Mamani1990 (talk) 17:21, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mamani1990 Hi! Great to see you being bold! As a tip, WP:IMDB is not considered reliable, as it is pretty much fully user-generated. MWFwiki gave you some good advice, although I'll add something important that is not immediately obvious: barring extreme cases, deletion discussions only focus around notability, so problems like article quality or COI editing do not usually weigh in the decision to delete or keep. For the extreme cases (where the page is pretty much impossible to salvage in its current state), WP:TNT does of course apply (and sometimes WP:G5, in cases like a previously blocked paid editing ring). All in all, you're doing pretty great! Agree with your comment that it's good to be as clear as possible in your opening statement, so you don't need to add follow-up comments to clarify it. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 18:05, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For your second nomination, agree that this could pretty much just be covered in the main Nigeria-wide article. While states can have independent legislations, and Northern Nigeria used to have a separate administration, it isn't really a coherent political unit anymore, and the article is just a collection of "X state did this, Y state did that", without a coherent thread connecting the policies of Northern states together and making it an encyclopedic topic. I'm not commenting on the AfD itself (to avoid canvassing issues), but it is definitely a good AfD (an alternative could have been proposing a merge into the broader article).

Question from Beverly Murangi (19:08, 11 January 2025)

What do I benefit by this edit? --Beverly Murangi (talk) 19:08, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Beverly Murangi Hi! You haven't made any other edits yet, so I'm not sure what you mean by that. Wikipedia is a volunteer project, so there isn't really any notion of "personal benefit" (and paid editing/conflict of interest editing are highly discouraged and regulated).

Do you remember me?

I was the guy who destroyed the Uss Utah page I am sorry about that hope you can forgive me bye 😊 from notsayingmyname Notsayingmyname (talk) 18:55, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Notsayingmyname Hi! No worries, it really wasn't a big deal and you were trying to help! It's just that it was a Wikipedia:Good article so we have to be extra careful with adding info, and the content in the lead (where you added it) has to be sourced in the article itself. Sorry if I sounded a little bit too harsh, and happy new editing year! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 19:26, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Louis130659$ on Talk:House sitting (03:31, 14 January 2025)

I need someone to take care of my baby --Louis130659$ (talk) 03:31, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Louis130659$ Hello! Wikipedia talk pages are not the best place to ask general question about the subject. On Talk:House sitting, you may find people talking about how to improve the article House sitting, rather than asking where to find house sitters. Wikipedia mentor questions work in the same way, although with a wider scope – you can ask me pretty much anything about Wikipedia, but I might not be of much help for finding unrelated services.

Question from NetCMarketing (21:02, 16 January 2025)

How do I add my company logo to the article about the company? --NetCMarketing (talk) 21:02, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@NetCMarketing Hi! As a piece of advice, if you are employed by a company, you will have to abide by our paid editing guidelines. In summary, they are:

Do not make edits directly on the article about your company (or about their clients, assuming you are employed by a marketing firm), but make edit requests on the talk page instead
Keep the proposed edits as neutral as possible (in this case, a change of logo should be okay)
Be fully transparent about the fact that you are making this edit request on behalf of your company, as part of your job duties
Have a username that is individual: Wikipedia doesn't allow "company accounts", you should ask for a rename to either of:
- A personal username
- A username of the form "John at NetCentrics" (but not "Marketing at NetCentrics", which identifies your job title rather than you individually)

Also, I advise you to read Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, it is always a useful guide for situations like yours. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 21:09, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Another important point about uploading the logo itself: you should ask your company whether the logo is released under a specific license, or below the threshold of originality. If it is either below the threshold of originality or under a license is compatible with CC BY-SA, you can upload it on Wikimedia Commons and ask for it to be added to the article. Otherwise, you should upload it locally (on the English Wikipedia) under a non-free content rationale. Our policy about hosting non-free content is a legal matter, which is why you should be especially careful to make sure that part is done correctly.

Question from Mamani1990 (13:26, 17 January 2025)

Hi Chaotic Enby, hope you're well. I've got a random question here. When I'm patrolling for vandalism, and I spot a vandal through a diff, when I go to hit "restore a previous version", the diff page goes right to the article in question and shows me the revert - even though I've selected in my Twinkle preferences not to do that. I've also selected to automatically open the user's talk page after I hit revert so I can give a warning, but this never happens. I have to go back to the recent changes, and open a new diff screen again. I've cleared my cache and cookies but it doesn't help. Ideally, I would like to be able to do everything from one screen: revert & warn the user in question, instead of having to open up 2 of the same diff screen, if you get what I'm saying. I see there are other tools for extended confirm users, so maybe I should just wait for that? Thanks in advance. --m a MANÍ¹⁹⁹⁰ 🌵 ^{(talk | contribs)} 13:26, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mamani1990 Hi! Another tool (which is also available even for non-EC users) is Wikipedia:RedWarn, which I use more often than Twinkle to revert vandalism. While Twinkle has a lot of other neat functionalities, RedWarn is more practical for reverting vandalism as it opens a pop-up window that allows you to do everything without going to another page. And hey, this userbox doesn't exist for no reason!

That should at least take care of not having to go to the user talk page, although the other issue you mention (of showing you the revert again) might still be a thing if you don't have the rollback permission (which is pretty easy to obtain once you have patrolled for vandalism and consistently warned users for around a month). The main reason that it's a thing is to have newer patrollers double-check their reverts instead of being able to do everything in one click (and slow down potential vandals using them to quickly undo constructive edits), although I'm personally not super sold on it being necessary, and wouldn't be opposed to the one-click functionality being available to everyone. My bad, I double-checked, and Twinkle and RedWarn still have rollback-like functionalities and I don't think the two-step thing is an intended feature rather than a bug – if anything, that's one more reason for "official" rollback permissions being a silly restriction. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 16:21, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the solid tip, once again! I should've been using RW all along. Much easier, more intuitive. m a MANÍ¹⁹⁹⁰ 🌵 ^{(talk | contribs)} 18:59, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mamani1990 You're welcome! Twinkle still has many other functionalities that RW doesn't (like being able to nominate articles for AfD, or tag them with maintenance banners), but RW is more practical for the vandalism part. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 19:02, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Trump_Meme

@CSMention269 Thanks! Both look like they're used in reliable sources – $TRUMP might be a bit more prevalent, but Trump Meme has the advantage of not being in all-caps and not having a special character that might cause unexpected technical issues. Okay with either, although, with the duplicate creation and the current AfD, we'll probably have to wait for it to be sorted out if we want to go for a RM.

Question from Imacoolguy84 (23:40, 19 January 2025)

Hi there! A quick small question, how can i make a wikipedia article? Id love to make articles about obscure things! --Imacoolguy84 (talk) 23:40, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Imacoolguy84 Hi! The first step is to look for sources, which you'll use as the basis to write your article. Usually, you'd want sources that are secondary and independent, with enough coverage to write a solid article. To make sure your sources are reliable, you can look them up here, here and here (the last one is the most complete, but the hardest to search in as it has all the archived discussions about the sources). Wikipedia:42 is a good criterion to know if you have enough to write an article (what Wikipedia calls "notability", but which is closer to "having enough material in sources" than to what people usually understand as notability).

Once you have the sources, writing the article is pretty easy – write the information you find in the sources, without direct copying or close paraphrasing for copyright reasons. You can add references to the sources you used after each paragraph (or, if you used multiple sources in a single paragraph, you can be more fine-grained with it). For your first articles, you can write them as drafts and submit them through Articles for Creation for a reviewer to look at them.

@Fairwin99 You're welcome! When reviewing business-related sources, it is always good to make sure they're not based on press releases, which would make them primary and not ideal sources to base these claims on. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 20:07, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Samirsingh9921 Hi! Wikipedia is not a place to add links to your own website – we do have very specific rules for editors with a conflict of interest, and it is best if you edit in other areas instead. If you are interested in editing topics unrelated to your website, you can specify that in your unblock request. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 13:59, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Yael Admi

Hi. I don't know how the ECR restrictions are supposed to work. Is the rule really that new accounts aren't allowed to create articles in this subject area, even if they go through AFC and someone experienced signs off? That seems counterproductive to me. I guess you're not obligated to explain the rules to me but if you feel like doing so I'd be grateful. Prezbo (talk) 12:46, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Prezbo Yeah, in retrospect I'm not sure about that point, I'm realizing that WP:ARBECR doesn't specify whether AfC is okay. I shouldn't have declined it, but I can't guarantee it's allowed either, and it's probably best to ask someone who's more knowledgeable about ECR restrictions than me. Really sorry!

Question from Mamani1990 (15:44, 7 February 2025)

Dear Mentor, hope all is well. Is there something I'm not understanding or not doing correctly in this AfC? I have multiple sources from many years apart. Thank you in advance for all your help. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Help_desk#13:51,_7_February_2025_review_of_submission_by_Mamani1990 --m a MANÍ^{1990(talk | contribs)} 15:44, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mamani1990 Huh, that's very curious. Looking at the sources, Radio Canada #3 appears to give solid significant coverage, so that's certainly a good source for WP:GNG. Cyberpresse.ca #10 has some amount of SIGCOV, although it doesn't go extremely in depth. These two plus a third source of that level should be enough for the draft to pass, in my opinion.

However, La Presse #12 is an interview, so not really independent. Interviews sometimes have some added content in prose, but they often come from paraphrasing what the person said and it's not really guaranteed that there's been some independent verification beyond it. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 17:12, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for your help and guidance. I totally agree with you. I found some new sources, including #17 which talks about an award he won in 2019. With these new edits I made, do you think it's enough for me to hit "resubmit" and pass? Or do I need to do more work? Thanks again for your help. m a MANÍ^{1990(talk | contribs)} 17:55, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That source does look better! While there's an interview part, the background does look like solid secondary sourcing rather than just paraphrasing him, so that would likely count for GNG. I've replaced #12 with it in the review, that's something I would pass at AfC although I might be a little bit too involved – but I very much encourage you to resubmit!

Tables and columns

Hi I’ve translated an article from French Wikipedia and created Votes on the death of Louis XVI. Down towards the bottom there’s a section called “Results”. The French article has two tables for each subsection, one under the other. I want to change this to arrange the tables next to each other in two columns, I’ve managed it ok in the subsection “First question” where the two tables sit nicely alongside each other. What I want is to get the two tables in each of the following subsections into the same arrangement, but anything I do just messes it up. I’d be grateful if you could take a look. Many thanks Mccapra (talk) 15:03, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Mccapra

Done, the tables float next to each other in each subsection. If you want the table width to be consistent from one subsection to the next, you can set the total width with {{col-begin|width=X%}} and the width of each column with {{col-break|width=X%}}.

Question from Shyla.alam on User:Shyla.alam (12:03, 9 February 2025)

Hi When this will be published? Publicly? --Shyla.alam (talk) 12:03, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Shyla.alam Hi, to begin with, it isn't ideal to create an article about yourself: Wikipedia:Autobiography has more information about this. Furthermore, your user page is meant to be a short presentation of yourself as a Wikipedia editor – it is not an encyclopedia article. If you wish to draft an encyclopedia article, you should move it to Draft:Example (with Example being replaced by your intended title). There are step-by-step instructions at Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:Articles for creation – for your first article, you are very much encouraged to submit your draft for review. Good luck! Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 14:17, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Ekirii (10:44, 10 February 2025)

Hi there, how do I move a draft for an article in my sandbox to the main page? --Ekirii (talk) 10:44, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Ekirii Hi! You need to move it to draftspace first, and then submit it for review. To move it, click on "Page" and then "Move". There, you can select "Draft" and type the name you want to give to your draft, and confirm. Then, you can go to Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Submitting. A volunteer will soon review it, although it may take a few weeks. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 12:48, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Writing Soul (05:31, 11 February 2025)

Hello Chaotic, Hows you doing ? --Writing Soul (talk) 05:31, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Writing Soul! I'm doing fine, thanks a lot. As a piece of advice, you shouldn't draft articles directly in your userspace, as that is reserved for presenting yourself to other editors! Instead, you can move it to User:Writing Soul/sandbox or Draft:Akhil Bhartiya Terapanth Yuvak Parishad. Also, it reads a bit too much like promotion right now – I would advise you to take a look at Wikipedia:NPOV tutorial and Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies) (also, if applicable, Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide if you have any connection to the topic). Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 16:47, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @Chaotic Enby for your valuable suggestions, I will go through the tutorial you have suggested. Further can you please help me finding the way to write article avoiding my userspace. How a article can be written ? Writing Soul (talk) 05:55, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Writing Soul, you can move the article to draftspace as I indicated above. Once that is done and you think the article is ready, you can submit it using Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Submitting. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 11:16, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Antihero212 (03:49, 12 February 2025)

Hello! I am a new editor and I am excited to learn from you!

my first question: how can learn about adding biographical information on articles of politicians? For example if a politician has held office previously how might I add that information to their page? --Antihero212 (talk) 03:49, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Antihero212! In that case, the first step is to locate a source that points to the politician having held that office. We have a guide at Wikipedia:Citing sources, but it can be anything reliable from a newspaper article to an official announcement (although something like a tweet is discouraged). From there, you can edit the politician's page to write it and cite the source. If you're in the source editor, you can also edit {{Infobox officeholder}} (the code for the rectangle to the right of the screen) – that link should give you information on how to add it. Good luck!

can you help me write an article on a company called northumberland living that will be accepted --Sam78998770 (talk) 17:43, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Sam78998770! To begin with, do you have any connection to that company? Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 17:45, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

yes i do , i run a marketing company and one of my clients is an introducer for them but ive already declared that Sam78998770 (talk) 17:46, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sam78998770 Oh, it's good that you already declared it. As a first step, you need to make sure that the company is notable – a word that doesn't really mean the same thing on Wikipedia as in everyday life, as it's more about whether it has enough encyclopedic material that can be used to write an article. Wikipedia:Notability (companies) is a bit strict on this, but you'll need to find reliable sources that are secondary, independent, and provide significant coverage of the company. These sources will be used as your material for writing the article afterwards. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 17:49, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just to note, your draft at Draft:Northumberland Living got deleted by User:DoubleGrazing for being way too promotional. I suggest you to take a look at Wikipedia:NPOV tutorial, and remember to only work from what is present in secondary, independent sources rather than adding everything from the company itself.

Question from Empirejack182 (01:20, 14 February 2025)

Hello. I am trying to create an article, it is not finished yet but if possible, could you give me feedback about how my overview is? --Empirejack182 (talk) 01:20, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Empirejack182! If you're talking about Draft:Retro Bowl College, it would be good to look for independent sources discussing the game (for example, game reviews) rather than quoting raw numbers from the Apple Store or other primary sources. GameFAQs is also considered an unreliable source and shouldn't be used – I invite you to take a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources to have an idea of the kind of sources we're looking for! (and WP:BACKWARDS about how to best write the article from the sources)

If there aren't any sources of this kind, it might just be that the article isn't notable – there might not be enough material out there to write a full article about it, although sources that do exist can be added to a related article, for example about its publisher.

Question from Th3$w33t3$tp0tAt0 (20:12, 20 February 2025)

How do I make a new article? --Th3$w33t3$tp0tAt0 (talk) 20:12, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Th3$w33t3$tp0tAt0 Hi! The first step is to look for sources, which you'll use as the basis to write your article. Usually, you'd want sources that are secondary and independent, with enough coverage to write a solid article. To make sure your sources are reliable, you can look them up here, here and here (the last one is the most complete, but the hardest to search in as it has all the archived discussions about the sources). Wikipedia:42 is a good criterion to know if you have enough to write an article (what Wikipedia calls "notability", but which is closer to "having enough material in sources" than to what people usually understand as notability).

Once you have the sources, writing the article is pretty easy – write the information you find in the sources, without direct copying or closely paraphrasing for copyright reasons. You can add references to the sources you used after each paragraph (or, if you used multiple sources in a single paragraph, you can be more fine-grained with it). For your first articles, you can write them as drafts and submit them through Articles for Creation for a reviewer to look at them. That last link should have a button on which you can click to start your draft.

Wikipedia:Your first article has more advice if you are still curious! (and, of course, my guide on everything essential) Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 21:48, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
