== Reinstating a deleted page ==

An article / wiki page on Sarala Roy was recently removed due to a citation issue. How can I find that article, fix the citation, and put it back in? Please help, thank you.&nbsp;[[User:Chetanroy|Chetanroy]] ([[User talk:Chetanroy|talk]]) 05:23, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
:[[Sarala Roy]] wasn't removed for a "citation issue" it was removed as a [[WP:CV|copyright violation]]. We could only restore it if we receive permission from the copyright holder via [[WP:VRT|VRT]]. Anyone is allowed to write a new version though. [[User:Victor Schmidt mobil|Victor Schmidt mobil]] ([[User talk:Victor Schmidt mobil|talk]]) 06:06, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
Thank you Victor. I can create a new page but I would like to see what was written there and to see who I need to follow up with on the copyright violation. Is it possible to find the old page to review the contents? <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/60.254.17.7|60.254.17.7]] ([[User talk:60.254.17.7#top|talk]]) 13:12, 2 December 2021 (UTC)</small>
::{{u|Chetanroy}}, deleted pages containing significant copyright violations cannot be restored for legal reasons. Wikipedia takes copyright much more seriously than many other websites because our licensing allows for free re-use of all of our text content, as long as attribution is given. That means that Wikipedia ''must'' be very strict when copyright violations are involved. [[User:Cullen328|Cullen328]] ([[User talk:Cullen328|talk]]) 07:10, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

== Two people with the same name ==

Hello - I would like to create a page for a person who has the same name as someone already listed on Wiki. One is an actor and is not on Wiki. The other is a hockey player by the same name. When you click the actor's name, it automatically goes to the hockey players page.&nbsp;[[User:Griff3161|Griff3161]] ([[User talk:Griff3161|talk]]) 16:58, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

Hi {{u|Griff3161}}! I recently encountered this problem when making the article [[Francis Bourgeois (trainspotter)]], my suggestion would be to name the page "(person's name) (actor)", then monitor the pageviews of both pages for a while, and then the actor's page could be renamed and made the [[WP:Primary topic|primary topic]], or the person's name (without the "actor") could be turned into a [[WP:DISAMBIG|disambiguation page]] if that makes sense?

:{{u|Emma OSOLU}} Hello and welcome to the Teahouse.  I think that you just did ask a question, so you did fine.  The one suggestion I would have is to place your question in the larger edit window, not the smaller section header window.  Some people find it easier to use the full desktop version of Wikipedia, even in a browser on a device, instead of the app or mobile versions, which do not have full functionality(easily, at least).

== It doesn't seem fair ==

A friend of mine wrote a page about me, but it has a warning for lack of notability.  Are there volunteers who can help fix this?  I've done a TEDMED talk, written four books and hundreds of articles.  Had a segment about me on NPR's This American Life, and much much more, but I'm not notable???  I'm particularly puzzled because there are many people who seem less notable than I, who have pages without warnings -- for example, half my lawyer friends. I'm a lawyer with a Ph.D. in medical ethics -- the first to do a joint program with that combination that I know of and the first Westerner to go to Iran to study their organ selling programs extensively (extensively meaning hundred's of interviews, one anthropologist had done one day of interviews at one hospital).  Why do I not qualify -- If the friend who wrote the page for me made mistakes, why doesn't someone help fix them, instead of making me seem like a self-promoting fraud with the warning boxes?&nbsp;[[User:Integrity1010|Integrity1010]] ([[User talk:Integrity1010|talk]]) 19:46, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

:@[[User:Integrity1010|Integrity1010]] Welcome to the Teahouse. You might care to tell us who you are so that we can look for sources that talk in detail about you. I'm afraid our [[WP:NBIO|Notability]] criteria for people demands to know, not what a person has done in their life, but what others have written about them.

::This was tagged in Dec 2019, and had had dozens of edits since then. Perhaps {{u|Wikignome Wintergreen}}, a recent editor of the article will consider removing the tag. Neither you nor your friend should remove it (nor edit the article anymore). The article has been criticized for weak referencing and possibly not reaching the bar for notability. [[User:David notMD|David notMD]] ([[User talk:David notMD|talk]]) 20:28, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
::: I assume the notability standard here is [[WP:NACADEMIC]], but I'm far from an expert in the notability area, and academics seem particularly tricky. I'll leave that decision to someone else, but I'll fix up the article in other ways.

:::I've taken a quick look through the article and at some of the citations. I recognise that the article is currently being worked on, but my  feeling is that the page comes over as an amazingly impressive CV of a person who has done some wonderful work on her field. I don't see sources that talk ''about her'', as we would expect from independent sources to meet [[WP:NBIO]]. The past professorial position itself doesn't quite meet Criterion 5 of [[WP:NPROF]] on its own, yet I suspect the body of work she has produced in that and in subsequent roles ''could'' be deemed to have had a significant impact under criteria 1 or 7. But as this isn't an [[WP:AFD]] discussion, I don't need to go into more detail at this stage, though such a discussion would need further search for independent sources and could be borderline, despite her achievements. That said, I'd not be pushing for such a discussion, and would expect a fair bit of effort to go into [[WP:BEFORE]]. I think the notability template was not hugely unreasonable, and hopefully current efforts will help. [[User:Nick Moyes|Nick Moyes]] ([[User talk:Nick Moyes|talk]]) 22:33, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
:::: "Borderline notable" - the hardest case to deal with. Basically, {{u|Integrity1010}}, it's hard to make a decision here without doing some significant research, and since we're all volunteers, there's no way to force anyone to do that research. As it stands, the article doesn't contain any good (by our standards) sources which prove beyond doubt that you're notable (by our standards), so the tag - for the moment - remains. If you think you have such sources, the best place for them is probably the article's talk page, [[Talk:Sigrid Fry-Revere]], since this post on the Teahouse will get archived eventually.

Not sure if I'm doing this right, putting my responses here.  Yes, I'm Sigrid Fry-Revere. I'm also the first person to create a living organ donor advocacy group which was not run by organ recipients as a hidden way to get more people to become organ donors.  My organization -- The American Living Organ Donor Fund actually advocated for living organ donors without any conflict of interest --- we didn't find donors for organ recipients.  We helped living organ donors with information and helped them with expenses and lost wages -- something which at the time some people thought was illegal but now is part of the federally funded NLDAC program and many state and private programs as well.  How many firsts does a person have to have to qualify as notable?  Isn't the fact that I'm cited or quoted on Academia.com at least a few times a week and sometimes several times in a day worth something -- I'm part of a very important conversation -- so much so that people find it necessary to answer what I've written -- not the least of which is the research I did in Iran -- which by the way was accepted as part of the National Library of Medicine's permanent collection.  <!-- Template:Unsigned --><span class="autosigned" style="font-size:85%;">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Integrity1010|Integrity1010]] ([[User talk:Integrity1010#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Integrity1010|contribs]]) 21:26, 1 December 2021 (UTC)</span> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

:::The most important thing to note is that Wikipedia has a peculiar and specific conception of what notability means. It essentially means that you have "received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." Somewhat different and more specific criteria apply for academics, but that is the basic principle - not having many firsts or doing important work.

So looking at just the first 7 pages of 148,000 entries for my name on Google, I found the following secondary sources. None of these are articles by me, nor are they simply citations or quotes. They are all more extensive discussions of my work and / or my life.  I'm sure I could find at least another dozen more.

That search, that came up with 148,000 was "Sigrid Fry-Revere newspapers" -- because I was looking for articles about me.  When I just search "Sigrid Revere" -- I get over a million hits.

== Apocalypse Cow ==
I searched for a Wikipedia article on '''Apocalypse Cow''' (documentary by [[George Monbiot]], [[Channel 4]], January 2020) - which presented a vision where farms as we know them cease to exist and that most food is produced in vats or in bio-reactors on an industrial scale. The title 'Apocalypse Cow' relates to the premise that cows and other ruminants have devastated the ancient landscape, specifically, removing trees by devouring saplings before they have a chance to mature. 

I had hoped to find a balanced critique of this documentary. However, I could not find it - but I did find [[Apocalypse Cow]], apparently, the title of an episode of [[The Simpsons]]. On further investigation, I found several claims to the title 'Apocalypse Cow' and so, evidently, The Simpsons does not have a monopoly on this title. See, for reference:
* 'Apocalypse Cow' (The Simpsons)
:* Apocalypse Cow (IMDb) 
* 'Apocalypse Cow' (documentary)

There are many more links, but I think the above suffice to make my point.

I was about to rename [[Apocalypse Cow]] as [[Apocalypse Cow (The Simpsons)]] and repurpose the original page as a disambiguation page as a precursor to creating '''Apocalypse Cow (documentary)''', but hesitated because I did not want to risk starting an edit war with The Simpsons' Fandom (I experienced something similar many years ago). These days I do not wish to indulge in any activity that invites conflict on Wikipedia - been there before, and have little patience for that.

:: {{ping|Enquire}} The response above isn't not correct, and the Simpsons article is at the correct title. Disambiguation in titles is only necessary if there are multiple articles with the exact same name, and cannot be distinguished from each other in any other way. Since there are no other articles named "Apocalypse Cow", the Simpsons episode get to take that tile.

::::: Just a comment on "Rollback" and anti-vandalism in general: what WP really, really needs are more anti-vandalism editors who look at an edit and check ''properly'' that it's wrong before reverting. Particularly on little things, like dates that something happened, there are particularly harmful vandals who make tiny changes, which are very hard to diagnose and correct; they're not obviously wrong at a glance. But there are also well-informed casual editors, often IP-users, who spot this sort of error and correct it, but who don't know the importance of adding a source - and they promptly get reverted by a well-meaning anti-vandal, even though their data were actually correct. So the most valuable people aren't those who've got Rollback privileges; the most valuable people are the careful, quiet fact-checkers. And we've all got fact-checking privileges.

== COI/CITESPAM - delete, tag or revise? ==

What do we do about an editor's work that was done predominantly to [[WP:CITESPAM]]: {{tq|"citation spamming include academics and scientists using their editing privileges primarily to add citations to their own work"}}. The editor was recently [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Jnyssen/Archive|blocked for sockpuppetry]]. The user knew full well that they weren't supposed to cite themselves, deliberately obscuring their authorship on many of the citations by omitting to mention any author, or hiding their co-authorship by mentioning only the primary author or listing themselves as "and colleagues". They have created hundreds of articles based on their own professional work (citing dozens of their own works, and their colleagues' works, in each) and it's practically impossible to extract their CITESPAM without just torching the whole article. (One example, [[Addilal]].) In other cases, they CITESPAMed within hundreds of other articles (which they didn't create) to add citations to their own work for minor inclusions (like their book mentioned different animal species, so they added their book to each animal's article). (One example, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Search&limit=250&offset=0&ns0=1&search=insource%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fwww.springer.com%2Fgp%2Fbook%2F9783030049546%22]) The latter scenario is easier to solve (remove their inserted CITESPAM), but the former scenario is a more complicated issue. I'm trying to clean up the mess, but not seeking to 'erase' everything. I need some guidance for a balanced approach. Most policies about removing edits refer to banned editors making edits after their ban. I haven't found any guidelines covering this scenario.&nbsp;[[User:Platonk|Platonk]] ([[User talk:Platonk|talk]]) 10:12, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi,

I came across the page of Fuad Hamza, and am trying to correct erroneous information about him. It is written there that Fuad Hamza was from Palestine, and the proof presented for this was from a single source, a PhD by one student who had it wrong in there. There is also a reference that he may be a Druze from Syria -- it is also wrong. Fuad Hamza is a famous personality in Lebanon's history, and hails from the village of Aabay in Lebanon.

Here is evidence from leading newspaper in the country: <ref>https://today.lorientlejour.com/article/1262053/lebanon-saudi-arabia-the-story-of-a-family-rupture.html</ref>

You can also find in various respected resources that Fuad Hamza is a member of the Druze community in Lebanon, including these two:

<ref>https://books.google.ae/books?id=oCeA299j1rsC&pg=PA77&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=hamza&f=false Page 340</ref>

<ref>https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA111290.pdf Page 57</ref>

Can you please help me correct this?

:Hello, {{U|Woodzallrounder}}, and welcome to the Teahouse. I'm not sure what the issue is with the awards table, but one way to reproduce a structure from one article in another is to copy the source and then edit it: go <code>Edit source</code> on [[Suga (rapper)]], copy the relevant part of the source, and then <code>Edit source</code> on [[Cho Seung-youn]], paste the copy in, and change the content as required. Remember that everything should be cited to a source. 
:As for images: as far as I can see, all the images you have uploaded to Wikipedia and to Commons have been deleted for copyright reasons. Wikipedia takes note of copyright more than many sites, which unfortunately puts limits on what pictures we can include. Your best bet for getting an image in the article is to take a picture of him yourself, if that is possible: if you do that, then you will own the copyright, and have the legal ability to license it suitably as you upload it to Commons. If you can't do that, then your best chance is to contact Woodz's agent and ask them to get the copyright owner to license a picture in a way that Wikipedia requires: it will not be enough that they give you permission to use it in Wikipedia, they will have to license it under [[WP:CC-BY-SA|CC-BY-SA]], so that anybody may reuse it. If they are willing to do this, then they should send a mail as specified at [[WP:donating copyright materials|donating copyright materials]].

:::::{{re|Chrissyd0425}}, a bit of explanation: the reason this has gone a bit messy is because Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a trade directory or web-hosting site. It only includes information that independent sources have written about a subject, and is ''extremely'' suspicious of what sources write about themselves. This has two consequences for you. Since you, I assume, work for Barnes, you have a conflict of interest, and need to read [[WP:COI]] for the steps you should take. Basically, you need to declare that you have a conflict of interest, and if you want anything changed on the Barnes article, you have to stop doing it yourself, and instead request that it should be done, on the associated talk-page. Make sure you state exactly what you want doing, and give a source to justify the change. This can include changing the article's title (which is described as a move, because technically the entire article's contents are moved to a new article with the new name). If the only source available to justify something is a press-release from the company, it may still be acceptable, if the change is uncontroversial. A rebranding name-change would probably be okay; a statement that you've just produced the best aircraft parts ever, for example, definitely wouldn't be. If you are paid by Barnes, you should also declare this, see [[WP:PAID]]. The other consequence is that unfortunately neither you, nor anyone else associated with Barnes, has any control over what appears in Wikipedia's article, which may include positives, negatives, and everything between, though we are obliged to ensure that everything we write is accurate, and that we maintain a balance.

How do we save our planet
Since the end of the last ice age, humans have developed tools and machines and have modified the land for agriculture and long-term settlement. As the population has grown and new technologies have spread across cultures and continents, more and more of the planet’s resources have been pressed into serving the species. In the process, human activities have disrupted the natural order of the environment by depopulating and eliminating species and adding harmful chemicals to the air, water, and soil—activities that are changing the climate and the structure and function of ecosystems, as well as the biological communities they contain.

== my saved articles/reading lists ==

Hi all

(a) how do I find my reading lists when I have Wikipedia open in my browser (Opera, W10)? Even when I'm logged in I can't see a link to them anywhere

(b) When I'm using the android app I only seem to be able to access my reading lists by saving whatever page/article I'm looking at (even if I don't want it) & then the 'Saved' button will take me to my list...is there a direct link somewhere & if so, where? This is the case even when I'm logged in.

(c) Oddly, even if I'm on the page of an a article I KNOW I've previously saved, it doesn't actually show as 'saved'...the bookmark icon still shows as 'save'. I just tried saving one again, to the same reading list & it is still showing as 'save', not 'saved'...what on earth is going on!


Any advice/help much appreciated as I'm studying & finding not being able to find my reading lists very frustrating!!

Thanks,

:::{{re|Itcouldbepossible}} the thing to do is to look at the original article and its subject, and decide if it looks genuinely notable. If so, hunt out some sources. It's not a waste of work, but you need to make sure that the translation is a genuinely good article, in good writing, with good sources, and not just a google-translate of an article that was probably inadequate in the Spanish WP. Someone wise here advised me that translations don't have to be exact. You can use as much or as little of the other WP article as you want (though of course follow the instructions on translation and credit it!) - so if you can find some sources that back up part of what the Spanish article says, while other bits look wobbly, just translate and use the good stuff.

== Changing an Article Title ==

Title change request


Hi there, currently I am working on the article stub entitled 'Australian Aboriginal Progress Association' and I came across a problem. After doing some research I noticed that the title of the organisation is actually 'Australian Aboriginal Progressive Association', rather than 'progress'. Could you confirm or deny this by any chance? As the sources I have found have led me to believe the title of the article is wrong and I was wondering if changing it is an option.&nbsp;[[User:Bwal6418|Bwal6418]] ([[User talk:Bwal6418|talk]]) 11:27, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
: Hi {{u|Bwal6418}}. The best place to discuss such a thing is probably going to be a [[:Talk:Australian Aboriginal Progress Association]] because that's where you're likely to find editors who might be familiar with the subject matter. Basically, if the title is incorrect, then the page can be [[:WP:MOVE]]d to a new title; however, it's probably a good idea to at least discuss things first on the article talk page before trying to move the page yourself. You're also going to be expected to "prove" the page needs to be moved by providing links to reliable sources supporting the change. If nobody responds to your post on the article's talk page after a few days, try posting a [[:Template:Please see]] at [[:Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of Australia]] to see if you can find someone there to help sort this out. -- [[User:Marchjuly|Marchjuly]] ([[User talk:Marchjuly|talk]]) 12:14, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

::{{u|Oriental Goldbulb}} Rather like driving a car, it's best to set off slowly because Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia controlled by quite a lot of 'rules of the road'. Providing you don't simply add "stuff that you happen to know", you might find looking at articles in or around your home town or favourite place might be worthy doing first. You'll get a feeling of how articles have been written, perhaps spotting typos or other small fixes which you can correct. Making sure the written English flows easily and is gramatically correct is almost as important as goof, factual content. You might find certain statement have {{cn}} written after them, which means we need to find a [[WP:RS|Reliable Source]] to insert to support that statement. In time, you might feel confident to add one via the 'Cite' button. You could visit [[Help:Introduction]] for further guidance, or come back here if you hit problems. Because it's easy to make mistakes, you might feel other road users appear abrupt with you if you do mess up. But rather than bite back, take a moment to work out what you might have done wrong and keep on the correct side of the road to avoid confrontation. We work by collaboration and consensus, so engaging with other editors is quite normal - as is following what other users advise you to do. That way you'll be helping to build the worlds greatest online encyclopaedia. Good luck, and enjoy the ride.

== Grounds for creating a new page for a historical figure ==

Hi Teahouse gang,

I'd like to create a brand new page for a fairly busy property speculator I've come across from 18th Century Dublin (Tristram Fortick). I have tonnes of documentation to back it up and fill it out, I just wonder what are the grounds for creating a new page. He wasn't famous, but a road in Dublin used to be named after him before it got renamed to something else (Fortick's Lane to Clonliffe Road). I think he was quite important at the time, but nothing has been written about him extensively. I think he would be a great case study for erstwhile property developers in Dublin at that time. I also have a document with his original signature on it and would love to create one of those .svg files from it. Anyone know how to make them? 

Regards,
Franky&nbsp;[[User:Frankysandwich2|Frankysandwich2]] ([[User talk:Frankysandwich2|talk]]) 23:44, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

:[[User:Frankysandwich2|Frankysandwich2]], tonnes of documentation suggests primary sources, which won't be usable. Do you also have kilogrammes of published material? If published material about him doesn't exist, then he sounds like splendid material for a doctoral dissertation. In revised form, this might be taken up by a university press; and the book, its reviews, etc, would eventually be fodder for a Wikipedia article. Wikipedia is not the place for original research, however painstaking, and about however remarkable a subject. -- [[User:Hoary|Hoary]] ([[User talk:Hoary|talk]]) 23:51, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
::[[User:Frankysandwich2|Frankysandwich2]] you will need to have published sources for references, but they are available. (Though I don't know if there's enough to write an entire article.) I copied Tristram Fortick's name, pasted it into Google Books, and got lots of books that have something about him in them. Choose one of the books about Dublin, Parliament, etc., and below the little snippet quote from the book (with the page number) most have a "button" labeled either Read or Preview. Click that "button" to bring up a page to read, and to take notes from. To the right of the Read or Preview "button" is a More Editions "button". Click on that to get the name of the book publisher, and the publication date. To help you cite those references properly you can read [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|Citing sources]]. I have no idea how to create a .svg file, but I hope I've been able to help  you. Best wishes with your project.

Hello...

I have been having problems editing a Wiki page in the normal way <nowiki>[[....]]</nowiki> in source editing so that when clicking the highlighted name (in blue), it will lead to the quoted Wiki page. 

The edited term instead appears in red.. indicating the page is not yet created/available. However, when I search the term, the page is already there. 

Please assist.

== India article ==

I saw articles about USA, England and Australia have sub-section for Education and Sports but this [[India]] article doesn't have.
I suggest to create seperate sub-sections for this. Images used in that article also looks low quality, outdated and do not represent true India, only showing unhygienic, poor side of India.&nbsp;[[User:Newton Euro|Newton Euro]] ([[User talk:Newton Euro|talk]]) 10:01, 4 December 2021 (UTC)
:{{yo|Newton Euro}} welcome to the Teahouse. The article [[India]] does actually have these sub-sections: [[India#Education]] and [[India#Sports and recreation]], both of them sub-sections of [[India#Culture]]. In the article about Australia, the sub-section [[Australia#Education]] is under [[Australia#Demographics]], while  [[Australia#Sport and recreation]] can be found under [[Australia#Culture]]. [[USA]] has the same structure as the article about Australia, with education under demographics, and sports under culture, but [[England]] has a different structure again, with education and sports as separate sections that are not under culture, nor under demographics. I don't know why the structure of these articles are different, but the sub-sections are there in each of them. 
:If you want to suggest different images, [[Talk:India]] is the place to do that. Regards, --''[[User:Bonadea|bonadea]]'' <small>[[Special:Contributions/Bonadea|contributions]] [[User talk:Bonadea|talk]]</small> 10:54, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

== Long standing citation requests ==

While reading Wikipedia articles I often come across long standing citation requests and other template warnings.
For example, on the [[Sheffield Steelers]] page some of the ''citation needed'' requests date back to 2007 and the recentism template was placed there in 2009. The article is being updated but 'warnings' ignored. Surely such longstanding 'requests for action' reflect badly on Wikipedia. I have little interest in the subject matter and so wouldn't want to spend time trying to find sources to validate these passages. The talk page looks moribund so I think things are unlikely to be resolved by commenting and seeking a consensus there. The choice for me is to ignore and move on or delete the 'offending' lines and remove the citation needed warning.

:Welcome to the Teahouse {{u|Rupples}}. You raise a very good point. Per [[WP:V]] "Any material lacking an inline citation to a reliable source that directly supports the material may be removed and should not be restored without an inline citation to a reliable source".

== Not enough sources?  ==

A writer friend of mine recently attempted to start a Wiki article about me. I am a musician and although I am mentioned in other people’s pages, there is no entry for me personally. 
There are a number of stories and interviews in newspapers about me (both physical and virtual ones), plus of course anything can be verified by checking websites of artists, album liner notes, or seeing me perform with various famous people on YouTube etc etc. Seems to be fairly easily verifiable stuff, yet he got the message that “there were not enough verifiable sources “. He added a few more (does Wiki accept its OWN pages as verifiable sources?) and then got a message that maybe it’s “under review” or something to that effect. So it has been neither accepted nor rejected at this point. Not sure what to do from here. Appreciate anyone that can shed some light on this or suggest what to do now. Just wait? Or have yet another person that knows me write another article? I saw other people being asked what their name is on here so maybe I should put my name. It’s Jay Collins. Thanks. &nbsp;[[User:Jaybird1968|Jaybird1968]] ([[User talk:Jaybird1968|talk]]) 15:59, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

:Hello, {{U|Jaybird1968}}, and welcome to the Teahouse. Because Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia (rather than social media, or a business directory) we require that articles be almost entirely based on what has been published in [[WP:reliable sources|reliable sources]] [[WP:IS|unconnected with the subject]]. This means that in order for an article about you to be possible, several people, wholly unconnected with you and not fed information by or on behalf of you, must have chosen to write at some length about you and been published in places with a reputation for fact-checking and editorial control. This means that nothing published by you or your associates, nothing in user-generated sources such as blogs, social media, or wikis (including Wikipedia!) and nothing primarily based on your words - interviews or press releases - can contribute to this. Most artists, even professional ones, do not meet these criteria, and we therefore do not have articles about them, even if they are mentioned in other articles. (I am mentioned in an article, because I once did something remarkable, but not enough has been written about me to ground an article about me). If you or your friend can find sources to establish that you meet Wikipedia's criteria for [[WP:NMUSIC|notability]] (essentially what I explained above) then there can be an article about you. Your friend is discouraged from writing it, because of their [[WP:conflict of interest|conflict of interest]], and also because writing an article is a very challenging task for a new Wikipedia editor (even if they have experience as a writer) and I always advise spending a few months learning the trade by editing existing articles first. But if you do meet the criteria, then your friend may create a draft - see [[WP:your first article|your first article]]. If you do not, they will be wasting their time trying. --[[User:ColinFine|ColinFine]] ([[User talk:ColinFine|talk]]) 16:24, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

== Page doesn't exist?  ==

Hello, about 5 months ago I wrote a Wikipedia article on Joanna Langfield, who is a well known movie critic having been on the radio for nearly 40 years now. She's also my mother. Unfortunately the article still has not been published and am not sure why.

Whenever I click on the link through my account, it says the page does not exist.  

I admitted the conflict of interest, I'm obviously doing this for free and made sure everything was linked and uploaded pictures to show that everything that was written is true. 

Is there anything more I can do to make sure the page gets published?
