My first attempt at an article was deleted.

I don't want to post it back here, but I just want to be able to get it back. I put to much effort into it. It's not even finished, but it was just deleted by one of the gatekeepers here with nothing better to do.

How do I get back my input? --Tevesfamilytree (talk) 16:08, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Because the article was deleted as "G11", meaning it was construed as being promotional. I can't see it because I am not an administrator. Articles that were deleted by this criteria will likely not be restored by Requests for undeletion. You could try contacting User:Jimfbleak directly. There are better places for you to write about the subject than Wikipedia. If you really want to write on wikipedia, start with references first, before writing anything. -- Reconrabbit 18:10, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On 3 July 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Mountain cottontail, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the mountain cottontail (pictured) is abundant in the Hanford Site, a decommissioned nuclear production complex? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mountain cottontail. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Mountain cottontail), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Thanks for uploading File:Putnam Valley Library logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 23:14, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello I was editing a page to reflect accuracy of biographical and literary information and someone else came in and reverted it back entirely. --Morton1977 (talk) 00:20, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Morton1977: The reason for that is Wikipedia is intended for publishing information that is cited to verifiable and reliable sources. Your edit removed sources and did not use any to support the text that was left. -- Reconrabbit 05:48, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Sorry to disturb your times but i have some question regarding the newcomer role and the regulation regarding such thing. I was a few moments ago trying to translate a page from wikipedia id to wikipedia en since the en branch lack this particular page but it seem newcormer is bared from doing such thing. So i would like to ask on what i need to full fill to be able to do such thing? Best regard to you folks. --Siput Sipit (talk) 20:09, 4 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Siput Siput: Hello! Thank you for your efforts in creating translations of pages. There have been many issues in the past with poor translations and so the creation of new articles is much more restricted now to users with 500 edits and 30 days of activity. The specific information is here: WP:CXT. Copying within Wikipedia gives instructions on what you need to do if you want to make translations without using the "software" that is designed for it. -- Reconrabbit 14:14, 6 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Thank you for answering! I see, i suppose there no other way beside this procedure then, i see what i can do to full fill the requirement first. Thank you for the instructions too! Siput Sipit (talk) 20:24, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

What was the page you want to translate? -- Reconrabbit 20:33, 15 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mostly the Indonesian ambassadors page along (one of them being the list of Indonesian ambassador to the United State) with some of the past ambassador figure. There also another two page i want to translate to the English branch of Wikipedia but one of them already been translated by someone else i think. Siput Sipit (talk) 18:08, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Siput Sipit I was told that the restriction is false. You can translate whatever you like... Sorry for the confusion! Please use WP:CXT for this list. The only restriction may be that the article starts as a "draft". -- Reconrabbit 21:22, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I just started editing for the first time; a friend is designing a curriculum for high school students to edit wikipedia, so we're testing out the experience. I'll likely stick with copy editing for the time being.

I am a native English speaker and I speak Italian fluently. So far, I've edited two suggested articles that appear to have been written by French and Spanish speakers (about a school in France, and about a city in Spain), since some of the wording feels unnatural but is likely literal translations from those languages.

I'm wondering if there's a way to find articles that need copy editing that are about something relating to Italy (places, people, etc); I suspect I will be much faster at adjusting non-natural wording and referring to source text and the equivalent article in Italian.

Any thoughts on how to find these articles? Thank you! --Clumsy-paper-136 (talk) 21:15, 8 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello @Clumsy-paper-136! There are definitely ways to find what you are looking for. There is a page, Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English, where editors will list pages that have issues, are incompletely translated, or need attention from a native speaker of the respective language. There is a category for each tracked category.

This is the listing for Italian: Category:Wikipedia articles needing cleanup after translation from Italian. Some articles date back to 2021. The category Category:Articles needing translation from Italian Wikipedia also exists but full translation is a bit tougher for a new user as the tools to do it easily are restricted.

You may run into the issue that these listings only capture the articles that editors have discovered, and which the problem was diagnosed, but not fixed. To take it a step further: all articles that have some connection to Italy are listed under tags from WikiProject Italy. From there you may be able to find specific items you are interested in, but there is a site here (external link) that will provide a listing of every Italy-related article that has some kind of maintenance issue (needs references, copy-editing, style editing, etc.). Have fun with it! As an example of one I just found: Colonnella is marked as needing a copy-edit, and contains sentences like "The construction of the "New Road", (current Via Belvedere), which allowed a good access to the main square of the village." -- Reconrabbit 00:27, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Reconrabbit, thank you for approving and publishing the article on Zachary Dougherty.

I noticed that the article is currently titled "Zachery Dougherty," but the correct spelling of his first name is "Zachary" — as shown in the article itself and in reliable sources. I’ve posted a move request on the article’s Talk page as well, but since you approved the draft, I wanted to kindly ask if you'd be willing to move the page to the correct name.

Hi Reconrabbit, I had recently nominated the article American pika for the good article status. I am requesting some comments from your side as it is my first nomination, and you seem to be experienced with this. Thanks, 👑 KingBegger · 💬 · ⚔️ 09:17, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I will look at it. I thank you for putting in work here, since it is a neglected part of the encyclopedia in recent years. If the article is not reviewed by someone else in a few days I will do so. Usually I put taxonomy first, but I think that is a matter of preference. Three ideas:

• Explain what a "buried" tail is.
• "Pikas in Peril" (reference 28) does not work.
• There is a 2003 study on the Great Basin in the article, but I linked a more recent study on the Talk Page.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the 27th issue of the Wikipedia Scripts++ Newsletter, covering all our favorite new and updated user scripts since 2025! Boy, does it feel good to kick off the year with an issue. Yep, it's been a year since we cleared out the 2022-2024 backlog with issues 23 and 24! Good times. Though in this case "a year" just means... 6 months? 😯 The salience of whatever joke I was planning to make here has vanished speedily. Aaron Liu (talk) 21:00, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Got anything good? Tell us about your new, improved, old, or messed-up script here!

Featured script

WikiTextExpander by Polygnotus, is this edition's featured script. At the click of a configurable hotkey, this script will find and replace or link a configurable list of phrases within the selected text in all source editors (even in the comment/reply field!). Besides allowing the quick insertion of templated messages, this script greatly mitigates the WP:WTF? problem by providing both the legibility of familiar words and the convenience of shortcuts. And to those asking, the capitalization of "Wikitext" as "WikiText" was a necessary sacrifice for far-more-memorable acronymy.

Updated scripts

• CanonNi: AlertAssistant has been fixed and rewritten using OOUI instead of Twinkle's Morebits. Such modern, very tool. (Do note that the maintainer has since become inactive.)
• NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh/AjaxLoader has been updated to use modern JS APIs that replace the browser's URL bar with the link you clicked on to load in place. The "back" (and "forward") buttons also work now. Cool, innit?
• My prayers have been... answered? DreamRimmer/Search sort is a fork of PrimeHunter/Search sort that makes the 11 portlet links much smaller and nicer to look at.
• andrybak: Unsigned helper no longer shows an error when the message to sign was added in the earliest 50 revisions of a page's history. This is especially relevant to pages with short histories.

Newly maintained scripts

• Cyberdog958/Superlinks finally fixes the famous Bradv/Superlinks to work with Vector 2022!

Improve a script

• Many of our favorite scripts such as Fred Gandt/userResourceManager and Guarapiranga/search-shortcuts haven't been updated for Vector 2022. You could be the one to change that!
• Elominius/media timer and PrimeHunter/Search sort work, yet have alien user interface design. Someone could improve them...
• BilledMammal/Move+ needs updating to order list of pages handle lists of pages to move correctly regardless of the discussion's page, so that we may avoid repeating fiasco history.

Requested scripts

We need scripts that...

• allow sorting lists of citations such as by URI or other identifier
• automatically convert the capitalization of citations' titles
• collect a list of discussion participants and generate a ping list
• automate starting merge discussions
• ...and many more, all available at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests

Miscellaneous

In breaking m:Tech/News, Gadgets can now include .vue files. This makes it easier to develop modern user interfaces using Vue.js, in particular using Codex, the official design system of Wikimedia. Codex icons are now also available. The documentation has examples.

New scripts

• Appo/Globstory integrates OpenHistoryMap, updating the map whenever hovering/clicking on a location or year, the latter of which changes the map to be (hopefully) accurate to the year selected. It's pretty interesting.

• 

  Somewhat similar to WP:NavPops, Awesome Aasim/linkinfo (pictured) provides a collection of links to replace the right-click context menu, presented beautifully.
• Chaotic Enby/Recent Unblock Highlighter is the #1 WP:ROPE dispensary of the year. Admins exclusive, naturally.
• Chew/HighlightQuotes: Makes all text between double quotes have a yellow background. Shiny.
• Daniel Quinlan/RangeHelper allows you to treat IP ranges as users and calculate the smallest range that contains specific addresses IP.
• Dbeef/C+ allows CheckUsers to generate a {{sock list}} from the Special:CheckUser page. Its checkboxes make this task hassle-free.
• DreamRimmer has been working at it with the state-of-the-art Vue.js mw:Codex UI lately!
  • /CHUHelper and /EFFPRH reply to username-change and edit-filter requests, respectively.
  • /DraftNoCat deactivates the categories on a draft article. Dogs are better, really.

  • 

    /EasySubpage (pictured) creates subpages... easily!
  • TBanHelper warns you when your current page's title contains certain namespaces or keywords, sternly.
• DVRTed/multiContribs provides an aggregate view of the contributions of multiple users and a link at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations to automatically activate it with all users in a sockpuppet category.
• Edit7hesadparts/linkColorRandomizer turns your links rainbowy.
• Macaw*/noRefListAlert alerts you when the list of references is missing.
• Polygnotus
  • /DetectPromo is an interesting alternative to the classic Moonythedwarf/extra-unreliable, though of course the word list is somewhat different, you'll see.
  • /DiscussionToolsDrafts gives you a centralized page to see automatically-saved DiscussionTools reply drafts, just like EditRecovery.
  • PreviousDiscussions provides a link to search for your username on subpages of another user's userpage and talkpage conveniently.
• Twineeea/noRedLinks brings you to the "read" instead of the "create" tab when you visit a red link. Contemplate life's mysteries as you stare into the blank! Deeply.

No, this is not going to be the enduring tradition of S++ for the future. This was meant to be a joke for the special occasion on the first day of the fourth month but was delayed by four months because I'm lazy.

If you work on an article in your sandbox then most people will not pay much attention to it.

Since you have very few edits, the ideal option is to press the "Submit the draft for review" button on the top of the page and wait for someone to publish it. As it is Draft:Terminal Autonomy Inc. needs better references right now. "Army Recognition" and "Defense Blog" are not reliable sources. -- Reconrabbit 17:14, 13 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'm new at this. I want to write a Wikipedia page on my friend, Sid Bishop, guitarist. I'm a long time daily user (and donor) of Wikipedia (reader). Sid is referenced in two published books. He recorded two albums with The Deviants, and authored three books about electric guitars. He's been in many bands, worked in the music industry, and written many music articles. I think he deserves his own Wikipedia page.

I've gathered neutral information, but I'm not sure if this is acceptable to Wikipedia. I could write it up in the Sandbox, if you wish. Please advise me, based on your experience. 

I'm perfectly happy to do a very sparse page on Sid; I think that his career in music and writing is notable. I also understand that he may not qualify for a page. I will respect your advice on this. Thank you very much. --Marc Portland (talk) 23:52, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, apologies for the delay. You are free to start working in your sandbox. Start not from what you know about Sid but what is present in the books. I don't know how much information is out there right now and so I can't help you much yet. -- Reconrabbit 13:17, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• AirshipJungleman29 (submissions) with 854 round points, mostly from a high-scoring featured article on the Indian leader Rani of Jhansi and two good articles, in addition to 13 featured and good article reviews

Everyone who competed in Round 4 will advance to Round 5 unless they have withdrawn. This table shows all competitors who have received tournament points so far, while the full scores for Round 4 can be seen here. During this round, contestants have claimed 9 featured articles, 12 featured lists, 98 good articles, 9 good topic articles, more than 150 reviews, nearly 100 did you know articles, and 18 in the news articles.

In advance of the fifth and final round, the judges would like to thank every contestant for their hard work. As a reminder, any content promoted after 29 August but before the start of Round 5 can be claimed in Round 5. In addition, note that Round 5 will end on 31 October at 23:59 UTC. Awards at the end of Round 5 will be distributed based on who has the most tournament points over all five rounds, and special awards will be distributed based on high performance in particular areas of content creation (e.g., most featured articles in a single round).

Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points.

Hi Myles,

My name is Sharon. I am a new member and was delighted to see that Wikipedia assigns mentors such as yourself. One of my main interests here is in preserving the history of the Lopez family of Iloilo. I stumbled onto a historical book and the family tree recently, and it made me realize how many stories are missing or underdeveloped on Wikipedia. That discovery led me to begin working on Hortensia Laguda Starke’s article (which I have started but not yet added here to I believe is called a sandbox..).

At the same time, I’ve also developed an interest in documenting figures connected to human rights and intellectual history. In that process, I came across Moses Moskowitz (1910–1990), he authored works such as Human Rights and World Order (1958) and The Roots and Reaches of United Nations Actions and Decisions (1980). His life reflects an important part of 20th-century human rights diplomacy that seems underrepresented on Wikipedia.

So, my broader aim is twofold: To preserve overlooked parts of Philippine history (like the Lopez family’s role in politics and civic service). To contribute to biographies of human rights and intellectual figures like Moses Moskowitz, whose work helped shape international discussions on human rights after World War II... His son, Howard Moskowitz also seems to be missing significant aspects in his biography and he has the most sources online.

I would appreciate your guidance on what I need to keep in mind in this endeavor.

Best, Sharon --TheClearRecord (talk) 01:42, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sharon,

Having clear goals is a good starting point. Since you are starting from scratch with regards to these biographies, the following help page may assist you: Help:Your first article.

Other authors on this site may have harsher words - that writing an article from the ground up is a task that requires at least some practice editing existing articles first. I say if you have the resources to start a draft, why not do what you want to do first? I only ask that you stick around until you get feedback on your work.

Moses Moskowitz has some biographical data on Wikidata here: wikidata:Q113802416. I do not know if this is of any use to you. -- Reconrabbit 12:46, 2 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that edit. Is that newer? Totally fine--just I didn't realize that. — Very Polite Person (talk/contribs) 16:49, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Naming people who have obviously committed a crime makes sense in abstract, but I removed the names based on two things:

1. My interpretation of WP:BLPPRIVACY and WP:BLPCRIME is that the full name of a person published without their explicit permission is private information. Publishing it through Wikipedia could be considered violating these policies (though it is a stretch - any reader could find this information by clicking through to the footnotes). If subsequent publications discuss a subject after they have been convicted of a crime, I would be more comfortable (re)introducing their name(s).
2. The issue of naming the above who have been accused of or arrested due to these crimes was brought up at WP:BLP/N, and removing the names seemed appropriate based on the concern that was brought up.

A parallel I can bring up (though it is somewhat backwards) is Isabella DeLuca, whose article stated for the first few days it existed that "She was charged for participating in the January 6 United States Capitol attack". This was removed because it was not a conviction, and was only reinstated after news stories came up that she was pardoned for her involvement. -- Reconrabbit 17:05, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

hi .Please restore Amir Hossein Hedai's page to its previous state, I want to add some information. Then decide.I will do this tomorrow. Alireza radi 18m (talk) 19:03, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. The page is a draft right now. You can move it back to the (Article) space if you want to, but there is plenty more you can add. I feel like there is not enough there yet to be presentable. For example: https://www.ittf.com/2019/07/27/pyongyang-titles-decided-amir-hossein-hodaei-player-limelight/ for a news story and https://web.archive.org/web/20230930122015/https://info.hangzhou2022.cn/en/results/table-tennis/event-schedule-men-s-team.htm for Asian Games 2022 medal. -- Reconrabbit 19:18, 3 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, hope you're doing okay :)

I have a Question on Phrasing to Avoid Ambiguity!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queue_(abstract_data_type

Current Wording: 'By convention, the end of the queue, where elements are added, is called the back, tail, or rear of the queue. The end of the queue, where elements are removed is called the head or front of the queue.

While technically correct, I think the repetition of the phrase 'the end of the queue' for both operations might be ambiguous to a reader.

It could be misinterpreted to mean that addition and removal happen from the same end, which is the exact opposite of how a queue works!

Could you please advise if the original wording is clear or do I change it?

Thanks! --Umogal (talk) 16:02, 7 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It looks to me that an easy way to reduce ambiguity is to remove the comma(s) after each "the end of the queue" so that it is obvious that there are two different concepts being described. -- Reconrabbit 03:07, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

hi recon.

Thanks.

Will do. Umogal (talk) 07:20, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I want to inform people of a series of shops closing in my area. I know this because I walk by the shops every day. My edit was deleted because it's uncited. I cannot link to a citation on the company website or find any news source for this. What do I need to do to stop my edits getting deleted? --Dedicator4573 (talk) 01:54, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly for now if it isn't published anywhere there is no good place to write this on Wikipedia. Maybe you could go on Yelp or Google Reviews/Maps? The issue here is Wikipedia is always going be behind the news for current information. That is how it's designed. -- Reconrabbit 03:08, 8 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
