Hello! I regret to inform you that an editor you have reprimanded (I'm afraid I have to say lightly) for WP:NOTHERE issues has appeared to have abused your WP:AGF. See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:Notatall00 again. Borgenland (talk) 16:21, 16 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Writing an article from scratch is one of the most difficult things to do on Wikipedia. You may want to try editing existing article to become more familiar with editing Wikipedia before starting a new article. When you do decide to write the article, you need to be aware that that topics need to meet Wikipedia's inclusion criteria which is usually referred to as notability. You will want to read HELP:Your first article. Establishing that the article meets the inclusion criteria is usually done by showing there is significant independent reliable sources about the topic. These would form the references in the article. See HELP:Referencing for beginners for more information. Cheers. -- Whpq (talk) 04:12, 18 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi, I am working on a big update of the page 'County of East Frisia'. The edit is currently in my Sandbox. Can I, when it is ready, copy it one-on-one to the page of the 'County of East Frirsia'? --TotaFrisia (talk) 03:10, 18 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

It is generally a bad idea to replace an article with a sandbox version because you need to ensure that any edits that have been made to the article since you first copied the article are incorporated. In your case, it looks like there have been change made since you copied the article. You must make sure those changes are incorporated. In the future, I suggest that you make changes directly to an existing article. -- Whpq (talk) 04:19, 18 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I would like to remove a line in the page of Francesca Albanese https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francesca_Albanese

Text to be removed is

and Research Fellow at the International Institute of Social Studies of Erasmus University Rotterdam.

The text is twice in the page.

The info is incorrect but I cannot edit the page, it's protected. I have used the talkpage but i noticed that also a colleague has done that before me without any result. --Snijhof (talk) 22:21, 18 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Using an edit request is the correct way to request a change, but you need to be very specific. State exactly what text is to be removed, and what text is to be added. Editors who review edit requests are unlikely to act on some general instructions. The other challenge you have to getting your request done is that there is a source in the article that specifically states that Albanese is a research fellow. You will need to provide evidence that Albanese is not a research fellow. -- Whpq (talk) 23:03, 18 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hello.

I've been on wikipedia for 4 days and I have ~60 edits, yet I'm still not autoconfirmed.

Why am I not autoconfirmed? is it because I haven't been on for the past two days? --EaterOfRooms (talk) 12:54, 22 February 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Could you undo the deletion of "Vapsid Estonia"? I created "Vapsid Estonia," I did not want to display or show my real name all over the article, I tried putting my username, "jd5124682," but as I am writing this to you, it did not work. So could you undo the speedy deletion or maybe redirect me to someone that can better help me with my case? Jd5124682 (talk) 12:40, 11 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

(talk page watcher) Hi, while you can technically publish, you are strongly recommended to use the articles for creation process for your first few edits. Also, you should declare any conflicts of interests that you have with the article subjects. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 16:48, 13 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi there. I received some helpful feedback from your team regarding recent updates to some pages related to my employer. While it was suggested I might be biased, I am familiar with your rules and provided citations for each edit I made. To date, my edits seem in tact, but I wanted to check with you to ensure I am acting appropriately and with integrity, as that is my goal. --Seatonr18 (talk) 21:14, 13 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

You need to make a declaration that you are editing an article for you employer. See WP:PAID for more information. You should not edit any further until you make this declaration. Best practice would be for you to make edit requests for the changes instead of directly editing the article. -- Whpq (talk) 22:09, 13 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi Whpq. Could you take a look at File:PNND Assembly - Astana, 2012.jpg? There is a copyright statement at the bottom of the sourced website as the file's description states, but there's no mention of a specific license. -- 02:51, 14 March 2025 (UTC) Marchjuly (talk) 02:51, 14 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

The copyright notice also includes some additional information All content on this website, if not indicated otherwise, can be shared freely with attribution to PNND but that statement is silent on derivatives and commercial use. It certainly is not the free use that is declared on the file. -- Whpq (talk) 13:01, 14 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

The uploader subsequently added {{CopyrightedFreeUse-Link}} as the file's license. I don't think that resolves the issue, but I'm not sure. Is the file's licensing now OK or is VRT verification required here per WP:F11? -- Marchjuly (talk) 20:20, 14 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

The site's copyright statement does not support the claimed license. -- Whpq (talk) 20:26, 14 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

I've tagged the file with {{npd}}. If there's a better way to deal with this, feel freeto revert me. The uploader is a student editor participating in in the Wiki Ed course Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/UBC/HIST 432 2025 (Spring). I'll post something about this on the student's Wiki Ed advisor's user talk page. Perhaps the advisor will be able to explain what the issue is; in the meantime, though, would you mind watching the file. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:37, 14 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

You don't "get" a license. Wikipedia's Terms of Use grants that license, and your agreement to it means that you can use Wikipedia content per the license. It also means you agree to license your contributions that way as well.

Hi - thanks very much for taking a look at my draft submission for a page on the influential Austrian ceramicist EGON HUBER. I can confirm that the website you refer to (www.tambent.com) is my own personal site that I have been running for many years. The images I have included on my draft Huber page are also my own, taken recently on the Greek island of Rhodes where Huber lived and worked for decades, during which time he developed the iconographic style for ICARO pottery that is now much sought after. He also during that time became a close friend of the writer Lawrence Durrell. I do hope this clears up the matter but if it does not satisfy you I will be prepared to remove the links/references to my site www.tambent.com. Thanks again and look forward to your reply when you have a moment to reconsider. Riga-to-Rangoon (talk) 04:55, 18 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi there, I’m new to Wikipedia editing and I’m interested in how mythology is shaped by historical and modern perspectives. While reading the Medusa article, I noticed that Athena’s role in "punishing" her is emphasized, while Poseidon’s role is barely mentioned. In Metamorphoses (Book IV), Ovid describes how Poseidon assaulted Medusa in Athena’s temple—yet this key context is minimized or missing in many summaries.

More recent scholarship, including Hélène Cixous’s The Laugh of the Medusa and Mary Beard’s work on women and power, has reinterpreted Medusa as more than just a villain or victim—she’s been seen as a symbol of survival, rage, and even protection. However, I don’t see much of this discourse reflected in the article. Given Wikipedia’s commitment to neutrality and comprehensive sourcing, I wanted to ask:

- Would expanding on Poseidon’s role—backed by proper citations—be an improvement to the article? - Has there been previous discussion on incorporating modern interpretations of Medusa’s myth, particularly feminist and literary analyses? - What’s the best way to introduce a well-sourced section on how the perception of Medusa has changed over time?

I want to contribute in a way that aligns with Wikipedia’s guidelines while ensuring the article presents a fuller, more accurate picture of the myth. I’d appreciate any guidance on how to approach this properly. Thank you so much mentor! --DhruviShah17 (talk) 14:30, 24 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Geernally, if you have reliable sources for your the changes you would like to make, you can be bold, and edit the article. If somebody disagrees with your change and reverts it, then you should start a discussion on the article's talk page. per Bold, Revert, Discuss. In this specific case with Medusa, the article is semi-protected, so as a new editor, you cannot make changes directly to the article. However, you can make an WP:edit request at Talk:Medusa by providing the exact wording you want changed. -- Whpq (talk) 14:40, 24 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hello! I am a Wikipedia newbie hoping to write a biography for a living professor/academic for whom I am currently working as a research assistant. While there are no commercial interests (the university and funding is public), I am aware this qualifies as a COI, and am wondering if it is still tenable for me to write the article myself if I make the proper disclosures in the Talk page. If so, I would also love to see a good article example for a living professor! --Bingusbongus404 (talk) 17:34, 25 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. I've left a welcome message with some information about conflict of interest. You will need to ensure the academic meets notability. Wikipedia:Notability (academics) provides more specific guidance on notability for academics. You should create your article as a draft, and when you feel it is ready, submit it for review through the Articles for Creation process where a reviewer will evaluate the submission and determine if it is ready to be published as an article. -- Whpq (talk) 19:30, 25 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi, I noticed that you partially blocked 100jan0vski's editing. What's the appropriate next step for the user's images. I believe they're all taken from the web so I'd list them for deletion, but I'm not clear about the process for nominating multiple images on en-wiki (it's more straightforward on Commons). Thanks. Adeletron 3030 (talk • edits) 18:32, 26 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

You can nominate all together in a single nomination as likely copyright violations based on previous actions. Unfortunately, doing so on en.wiki is not as easy as on Commons. You will need to do it manually. Template:Ffd2a has instructions for multiple nomination listings. There are some tools listed here that might help. I haven't used them in a while and Fastily has retired so I'm not sure if they are still functional. If you run into issues trying to make the nomination, let me know and I will try my best to assist. Cheers. -- Whpq (talk) 19:06, 26 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi Whpq. File:Japan Skating Federation Logo.jpeg and File:Japan Skating Federation logo.svg are essentially the same logo uploaded as different formats. Both files were orignally licensed as non-free logo, but I believe the logo is too simple for that; so, I converted each file's licensing to {{PD-ineligible-USonly}} because I'm not sure about c:COM:TOO Japan. Anyway, I think the jpeg was uploaded earlier today because someone wanted to use the file in another article and thought reuploading it made it OK to do so per WP:NFCCP. (FWIW, if this needs to be non-free, the use of the jpeg in Japan Figure Skating Championships would fail NFCC#1, #3 and #8). Anyway, assuming I wasn't be too bold in converting the licensing to PD, I'm not sure a svg and jpeg version are needed since the difference between the two is really minor and the svg could be used wherever the jpeg is being used. Does this need to be discussed at FFD or can the jpeg file be tagged for speedy deletion? -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:36, 27 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi again Whpq. What do you make of File:Bob-brown-reading-machine.jpg and File:Bob-brown-readies-machine.jpg? They were uploaded by the same user earlier today within 10 minutes of one another. At first, I thought the uploader might've been trying to correct the mistake in the file name, but the "reading-machine" file was actually uploaded first. If these actually come from a book published in 1931, they're not old enough just quite yet to be {{PD-US-expired}}, but they could possibly be {{PD-US-not renewed}}. Regardless, two essentially identical files aren't needed; moreover, neither file is currently being used in the mainspace converting one of the two to non-free is not an option. Do you think there's enough here to license to "reading" files as "non renewed" and then tag the "readies" for deletion per F1? -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:58, 27 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

In terms of choosing the file to tag for F1, I think it would be the "reading" file. I believe the "readies" nomenclature is deliberate. Bob Brown's concept was to have something similar to talking motion pictures which were known as "talkies", thus "readies". As for the license status, if you have determined that there is no renewal, then the license can be corrected. As it would be Pd and best hosed on Commons, it would be a good idea to check on the renewal. -- Whpq (talk) 15:28, 27 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Thanks for looking at this, and also for catching the "readies/reading" nuance. That makes sense. I explain to the uploader about the file's licensing needing to be tweaked and tag the other file for speedy deletion per F1. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:26, 28 March 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
