"No reason"

[edit]

re: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Microphones_in_2020&oldid=prev&diff=1234965211 I did give a reason: MOS:DTAB. Did you read it? ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 11:03, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Koavf: I did read it. What on that page says that the first column of a table must have row headers? Maybe I'm missing something — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 16:41, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are correct: rows should be semantically marked as such and you removed those semantics. ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:21, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure I understand. You said that I'm correct then implied that I did something incorrect. Is there a difference between it being a row header, and "semantically marked"? — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 04:20, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry if I'm being obscure. Please reinsert !scope="row". ―Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:36, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from Pistacialentiscus (12:13, 19 July 2024)

[edit]

Hallo PerfectSounWhatever! I am creating a wikipedia-page for a person, "Ulrich Arnswald". It is in my sandbox. The page was blocked because I took some content from his personal web page. After this I asked him (=the author) for permission to use his content for publication on wikipedia, and sent it to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. He gave me the permission. I did not get an answer from permission@wikimedia.org. How can I proceed now to publish the page? Best wishes, Pistacialentiscus --Pistacialentiscus (talk) 12:13, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. How long ago did you send the permission emails? The volunteers may have simply not responded yet. Regardless, it is a terrible idea to copy someone's content from their webpage to use in a Wikipedia article. Their personal CV is biased towards them, and is likely not written in an encyclopedic manner. To get this article potentially published, you will have a much easier time if you do not use someone's personal web page.
If you have an association with Arnswald, (which is strongly discouraged), you need to declare this conflict of interest, instructions for doing so are here. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 04:08, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question from RebeccaM226 (15:33, 1 August 2024)

[edit]

Hello, I ask for assistance as my submission for an article about a musician was declined. Regarding reliable sources for a musician, which are the sites are considered as reliable sources for music release ? Because the reviewer said that discogs.com neither imdb are accepted. The proof of work of my musician article is on many of these places. what can we do to showcase that ? thank you for your help --RebeccaM226 (talk) 15:33, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hey @RebeccaM226:, you can look at WP:A/S for a list of reliable music sources. Also, check WP:RSP for a more general list on which sources to use/not to use. Note that these lists are non-exhaustive, and sources may be reliable without being on the list.
The problem with Discogs and IMDb is that the content is generated by anonymous internet users. So, I'm sure it's understandable why we don't want to copy information from there— we have no way of knowing it's correct. Please read WP:RS for an in-depth guide on what constitutes a reliable source. In essence, you need to find reputable publications talking about your subject, like newspapers, magazines, or books. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 20:30, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much for that !!! Can you tell me what is the limit to resubmit an article before the draft is deleted ? Also if it is deleted, can we resubmit later the same article ? thanks so much for your help. RebeccaM226 (talk) 16:46, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @RebeccaM226:, glad I could help! A draft will be deleted if it hasn't been edited for six months. It can be undeleted if you decide to return to it, however. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 16:58, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your GA nomination of Microphones in 2020

[edit]

The article Microphones in 2020 you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed.

Question from ILoveFinance (12:34, 22 August 2024)

[edit]

Hey! As of this morning, is seem to be stuck with only the Edit Source option on pages, rather than the usual Edit (Visual Editor). My settings have Visual Editing enabled, but I only see Edit Source now. Not sure if you've encountered this or how to fix. Thank you! --ILoveFinance (talk) 12:34, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Well it appears if I uncheck the visual editor option in my preferences, the normal edit tab comes back! Not sure how this got reversed haha ILoveFinance (talk) 12:39, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I take that back, even though the button at the top right of pages now says "Edit," it still brings me to the Source Editor. Ahhhh! ILoveFinance (talk) 12:40, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
{{done}} I apologize for all the messages, the issue has self-resolved somehow. This is resolved! ILoveFinance (talk) 12:43, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@ILoveFinance: Usually, I find that it uses whatever I last used. Do you know how to switch between source/visual editors using the pencil/eye dropdown in the top right corner? Or is the problem that you always want to force visual editor?
You can also add ?veaction=edit to any URL to force visual editor. Glad you seem to have figured it out. Thanks — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 17:28, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

DCWC closing update

[edit]

The 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest has come to a close! After a thrilling finish to the event with a slew of submissions on the final day, we have our winners. With 608 points, Bronze Belt Buckle – 3rd place Thebiguglyalien (submissions) comes in third with his series of Kiribati and Botswanan submissions; Silver Belt Buckle – 2nd place Tuvalu BeanieFan11 (submissions) flies into second place at the last second with 771 points after a string of good articles about sportspersons; and after leading for much of contest's three months, Gold Belt Buckle – 1st place Generalissima (submissions) finishes with a whopping 798 points to take home the Gold Belt Buckle. Congratulations to our winners!

In addition to his spot in the top three, Tuvalu BeanieFan11 (submissions) also wins the special awards for submitting under the most countries (44 countries) and for writing the most articles about women (15 Did you know? nominations)! India Magentic Manifestations (submissions), after making 16 submissions under the Indian flag—15 of them good articles—receives the awards for most submissions for a single country and most featured or good articles promoted. For their submission of one FAC review, five FLC reviews, and 20 GAN reviews, Simongraham (submissions) wins for most article reviews.

The results of the contest have far exceeded any expectations the coordinators had for it at the beginning: among the submissions to the event were 3 FAs, 10 FLs, 88 GAs, dozens of article reviews of every kind, and more Did you know? submissions than we can count! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed towards a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve. Thank you for participating with us in the contest and contributing to this effort. The DCWC will return next year and we look forward to seeing you contribute again! However, before that...

We need your feedback! Join the conversation on the talk page to discuss your reflections on the contest (even if you didn't participate!) and help us make it better.

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the contest talk page or ask one of the coordinators: Ixtal (talk · contribs), sawyer777 (talk · contribs), or TechnoSquirrel69 (talk · contribs).
