Is it possible to add a note on the right-hand side during the World Cup and Euro qualifiers indicating when Poland played in the play-offs—specifically in 1958, 2022, and 2026, as well as for Euro 2024? --Jacob32737 (talk) 22:15, 28 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

Hi there, Jacob32737, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your suggestion on the Polish team seems sensible but I'm pleased to see you mentioned it on the article's talk page where more experienced editors should be able to follow it up. For now, I think you should try to gain more experience in editing, for example by following the links in the welcome message on your talk page. Please let me know if you need further assistance, Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 08:53, 29 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

Hi, what is best practice when trying to cite an interactive map where the information cited isn't directly available when the user clicks the link; they have to search for a specific entry. Thanks in advance. --Tomipenri (talk) 11:47, 1 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Hi there, Tomipenri, and thanks for stepping by. If this is in relation to Lycksjön, there must be several options for maps although I'm not quite sure why you need to cite one. There must be many other ways in which you can expand the article. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 12:13, 1 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

I was looking for a source for the dimensions I provided, but the Swedish article links to a download link from 2012 that is now only accessible via the Internet Archive, so it feels as if i shouldn't use that link if a more up-to-date map/dataset is available? Tomipenri (talk) 12:16, 1 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Sorry, to be clear here, I got the dimensions from the source! Tomipenri (talk) 12:17, 1 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

@GARY ROBERT CROFT: You'll find all the explanations here. I've looked through articles about you such as this on Grimsby Live but for a biography to be accepted, we really need articles from nationally recognized newspapers and/or specialized journals. If there are any, or if any appear, please let me know. In the meantime, you might like to try your hand at improving other articles about autististic strongmen such as Tom Stoltman. You'll see from Category:Autistic sportspeople that many others suffering from autism have made a name for themselves in sports.--Ipigott (talk) 10:04, 3 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Hi, Ipigott. You are cordially invited to the brand new Wikipedia:Mentorship noticeboard. I get the impression sometimes that we mentors are each toiling in our own cubbyhole or hamster wheel, quietly answering mentee questions with little to no interaction with other mentors. I think we have a lot to share and learn from each other, and I know it will make me feel better just having the opportunity to interact with you and other mentors there, and I hope it will for you, too. Look forward to seeing you there! Mathglot (talk) 06:55, 4 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Hi there, TOAK19054, and thank you for contributing Michael Grassi. As far as I can see, there are no longer any problems with citation errors. You say Grassi is "Canadian-American". That implies he also has US citizenship but I can see no evidence of this in your sources. It seems to me it would be safer to stick to Canadian or Canadian-born.

Sorry for slow response this week - its been one of THOSE weeks irl and haven't had the time/capacity to be on Wiki. Thanks for the messages.

Thanks for the work on Claudine Hermann - I'll leave you to finish what you are doing before I do any more edits. How many articles (which names) need a boost to get beyond C now? I can take a look at some this afternoon if all goes to plan? Have booked the afternoon off for some last minute editing before Wikimania! MumphingSquirrel (talk) 10:58, 16 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

@MumphingSquirrel:: Thanks for your interest. There's lots of stuff on Hermannn. I'll try to work on it a bit more today and bring it up to ORES GA. The ones still at C are Jeanne Guiot (ORES 2.96), Cornélie Lebon-de Brambilla (3.06), Geneviève Jourdain (3.15), Georgette Délibrias (3.24) and Simonne Caillère (3.68). Hermann is now at 3.64. As you probably know, to reach ORES GA they need to be close to 4.0. I've spent quite a bit of time on Caillère but cannot find much more. Perhaps there are reviews of her publications. Anything you can do to help things along would of course be appreciated. It would be great if we could bring all 72 up to ORES GA. I don't think I can remember any other project where there has been such interest in a large cluster of biographies. There are by the way still a few without photos. Some could no doubt be found in old newspapers but searches might be difficult and might require the help of interested librarians and archivists. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 11:48, 16 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Hermann now GA. Feel free to work on her further if you wish.--Ipigott (talk) 12:43, 16 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Great! I'm not sure how much more I can pull out of the bag for Jeanne Guiot - have had a deep dive for her before. Although new things are always getting published so fingers crossed... Given the era of Cornélie Lebon-de Brambilla the records seem quite scarce without someone doing deeper archival research into her. Should be able to find more on Geneviève Jourdain and Georgette Délibrias, will keep digging. Thanks as ever for being involved! MumphingSquirrel (talk) 21:47, 16 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Hi, on the Tobi Bakare entry I recently made, there are some criticisms made. I would like to address them. Can you let me know what can I address?

No one left any comments in the chat page so I don't know even know who to address. --TOAK19054 (talk) 22:32, 15 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Hi there, TOAK19054, and thanks for creating your first article. If you click on "View histroy" at the top os the Tobi Bakare page, you can see who has been editing it. The comments you mention came from Kqol. You can address the "fan" item by toning down the rather overenthusiastic level of language and making it more neutral. As for the "additional citations", it would be good to include details which have appeared in recognized newspapers. Some of the sources you have used appear to be closely associated with Bakare himself. Especially for living people, you should look for reliable independent sourses which cover the subject in some detail. See if you can address these points and let me know. It should then be possible to approve the article.--Ipigott (talk) 08:39, 16 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Could you give me specific of examples of citations which need to be changed? Bakare's birthday while it seems to come from a promotional source, his school, is cited for his birth year and education, these are details seems like something his school would know. I can not find these details elsewhere as far as I have looked.

Because he is an Afro-Brit actor who starred mainly in a show set in the Caribbean, I am doubting whether or not he might fit Wikipedia's notions of notable. Hollywood trades would most likely not cover him, but other news organizations like Alt Africa, Radio Times, and The Guardian have. With that I feel he at least meets notability but not by American standards. Is this something we can work on to find a solution to find better sources which work for Wikipedia?

(sorry for the long message) TOAK19054 (talk) 15:56, 17 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

@TOAK19054: I think he's notable enough. There seem to be other news items you could use, such as this from the Guardian or this from the Manchester Evening News. See what you can do and let me know.--Ipigott (talk) 16:15, 17 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

The Guardian piece is unfortunately about another British actor named Tobi King Bakare. Can you help me find independent sources for basic information such as his birthday, and his other credits. TOAK19054 (talk) 08:25, 18 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Sorry about the confusion. You'll find additional info here.--Ipigott (talk) 08:39, 18 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

I used this source initially, but I felt it was like a "hey our actos are Oscar worthy! Come join the school!" and so it would not be usable. Are you saying I can use it because taking the information that he was born in 1989 and his acting credits are neutral? TOAK19054 (talk) 08:46, 18 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

It's useful for basic details but probably not acceptable for notability as it is too closely associated with the subject.--Ipigott (talk) 08:49, 18 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Hi, Ipigott! It's been a long time! I hope you've been doing well. I just wanted to let you know that I am planning a GAN for Sibelius Monument by Eila Hiltunen in the next week or so (waiting on a few Finnish language sources still from FinnUsertop). I thought that given your interests in classical music (+ your 2015 Sibelius GA), architecture (kind of adjacent to memorial sculpture), the Nordic realm, and Women in Red/Women in Green (involves a female sculptor who battled misogyny), this topic might interest you ... certainly, I would benefit from your wide-ranging expertise, given that this is my first article outside of WP:Classical music.

Good to hear from you again, Silence of Järvenpää. You've certainly managed to bring a lot of interesting detail into the article since you started working on it a couple of weeks ago. I'll be tied up with other things for the next few days but I'll try to get back to it sometime next week. The only immediate suggestion I have is that it would be interesting to have a section on critical appraisal where in addition to the initial negative reactions, you could include something on how prominent experts view the monument. Hope this is not too demanding. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 08:36, 26 July 2026 (UTC).Reply

Thanks for adding the new section so quickly. It helps. I've now had time to look through the whole article and suggest you should go forward and nominate it for GAN although you should not depend on me as a reviewer. It might help if you could expand the bio of Hiltumen which is pretty rudimentary for such a prominent achievement. Let me know if you need further assistance.--Ipigott (talk) 19:36, 26 July 2026 (UTC) Reply

Thanks, Ian! I appreciate your assistance and encouragement. I'll nominate it for GA shortly. As for Hiltunen's bio, I plan to add some details, given I have come across a great deal for info about her during my deep dive into the Sibelius Monument and it shouldn't be too hard to convert my notes.

You were very helpful a few years ago when I did a small project to improve the coverage of women who had won the Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship. One of the subjects, Maryana Iskander, became CEO of Wikimedia Foundation not long after.

I'm coming back for a more intense round of work on social sector topics, including women and diverse social entrepreneurs. I wanted to check in with you as an expert on a draft to make sure I was still on the right page with the community as it has evolved in the last 6-8 years. I pushed a nonprofit article out a couple of months ago and ran into headwinds (still survived the AfD process) and want to minimize such challenges going forward.

Thanks for any advice you might offer: hoping to be much more active.

The draft article is on Gemma Mortensen: Draft:Gemma_Mortensen

I moved the article to Draft and requested a review. It says maybe three months, but I did tag it as WiR. I'll wait a while, and then push it to mainspace.

Why is it that even though the article is live when I search for the article on google it does not even show up? --TOAK19054 (talk) 15:27, 2 August 2026 (UTC) Reply

Dear Ipigott, Thanks for the suggestion of an article on F. Gaspard. As she has a page in the French encyclopedia, I thought the citation/referencing would be easy but alas not! Most of the refs turned out to be vague or unreachable! So I have done a draft at User: Balance person/Francoise Gaspard (Sorry about the missing cedilla!) but it is not very good. Do you know much about her? I have had trouble finding good independent references. Anyway....if you had the time, could you possibly have a look? It needs a lot of work!

(talk page stalker) Hi Balance person - If I may ... I took a quick glance at the article and these are initial recommendations that were easy on the eye to notice:

1. "Early life, education and career" section: Commonly, these are two headers, one being "Early life and education" and the other being "Career".
2. "Awards" section: Each award requires an inline citation or someone will come along and add {{citation needed|date=August 2026}} after each one that's missing it.
3. "Publications" section: Each book that has an isbn should include the isbn at the end of the line, e.g., {{isbn|1234567890}}. If the publication is not a book, but is an article, short story, etc. (so there is no isbn), create a subsection(s) for those publications. Note: old books, e.g., written in the 19th-century, wouldn't have an isbn, but that's irrelevant here.
4. "References" section: There are multiple references with no URL linked, ergo, unable to verify; add the URL if at all possible (or some will suspect that the reference was AI-generated), e.g., Who’s Who in France 2020 edition page 908.
5. Add photo; see d:Q3086490.

Thanks a lot! I will work on those things! Balance person (talk) 15:02, 3 August 2026 (UTC) Reply

• Thanks Balance person, for creating the draft and for following up on the recommendations. It now looks to me to be ready for mainspace but make sure you include the accent in Françoise Gaspard. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 08:39, 4 August 2026 (UTC) Reply

  Thanks very much Ipigott! I have moved the page with correct accent (!), added a few categories and made sure that she is not an orphan. Thanks as ever for your encouragement! It really helps! Balance person (talk) 09:09, 4 August 2026 (UTC) Reply

Hi, I work for Swensons and oversee the marketing department. I went to publish a recent accolade the brand received by a national publication, but somehow when I went to submit, it deleted nearly 85% of the original wikipedia page information. Luckily, I had the page open on several tabs and was able to see the version I deleted and successfully copy it to a word doc to maintain the information. But as I try to restore the original content, I keep getting overriden and other contributors are undoing my changes, which is simply to restore the page to what it was before I accidentally deleted a large amount of content. --Jeagleton7 (talk) 20:11, 3 August 2026 (UTC) Reply

Hi there, Jeagleton7, and thanks for seeking my advice. I see though from your talk page that the matter has now been resolved. I should point out that it is not a good idea from employees to contribute directly to articles about their company. They can nevertheless bring attention to developments by commenting on an article's talk page. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 08:12, 4 August 2026 (UTC) Reply
