Wikipedia:Help desk#How to track how many hits.2Fday an article gets

I recently created the page for the Global Student Forum. While creating the page, the cite source function stopped working, and it seemed like the only way to avoid losing my progress was to publish it unfinished and make subsequent edits to the page, which put it at risk of being swarmed by other users in its unfinished state. Sure enough, a user named Sumanuil put a banner on it alleging that the page contains promotional content. I cited sources for factual claims, tried to write in a neutral tone, and am not affiliated with the organization. I edited the text to remove what could be misconstrued as promotional, but the banner has remained. I posted a request for clarification on Sumanuil's Talk page, but Sumanuil removed this without providing any clarification.

I have been a Wikipedian for over ten years. The Wikipedia I have come to know is a toxic, insular group that is hostile to new and less experienced users. On multiple occasions, I have seen knowledge erased on minute technicalities that could have easily been ameliorated with dialogue and collaboration. Please do not let the Global Student Forum page be another example to further reinforce what I have reluctantly perceived. You can see the timestamps on the Global Student Forum page to see the time I put into creating it and researching the sources. I want to be compliant. I just need clarification and assistance.

:The requirement that Wikipedia articles be primarily based around what independent sources have to say on the subject, rather than citations to the subject's own website etc, isn't a 'minute technicality'. In my opinion, the 'promotional' banner is still justified. As for difficulties with editing, you have the option of using your sandbox, which should ensure you can publish the article only when you consider it complete. AndyTheGrump (talk) 18:36, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

:Hello, @For historical purposes.

:Several portions of the article are based on the GSF's own publications.

:{{HD/WINI}}

:The presence of text that is clearly what the subject wants to say about itself is what makes it promotional.

::Though I agree with everything said above and that the tag should stay, I would like to note that For historical purposes did ask Sumanuil on their talk page, which was promptly reverted.

I wanted to update the club badge for Cribbs FC to the badge shown on www.cribbsfc.co.uk

No idea how I achieve this?

Is it possible to upload a JPEG at all?

Thanks Thealewolf (talk) 16:13, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

:@Thealewolf .jpg are fine, although the current logo for Cribbs F.C. is a .png. The issue is whether the logo is copyright or is too simple and thus public domain. See WP:Logo for advice on this.

"This technology was used worldwide from the Upper Palaeolithic (late Solutrean, c. 18,000–16,000 BC) until the development of archery made it obsolete." Darts were still used from the fighting tops of ships at least until the Tudor period as can be learned from the Anthony Roll of Henry VIII th's navy. later contradiction "they appear in multiple illustrations from the 15th and 16th century."

"To maximize elastic energy storage and recovery, such darts should be held only by the nock and allowed to pivot as they are thrown........in Australia the Aboriginal word woomera is used." MISLEADING _ indigenous Australians did NOT use darts from spear throwers, but extremely long, thin and flexible spears (without fletching)

"Some alternate terms for this missile have included the spear, but this term has fallen out of favour since in all other uses, spears are stiff enough to be used for stabbing." Many Australian indigenous spears used until well into the 20th century were extremely thin and flexible and unlikely to be used for "stabbing" as can be witnessed in Google search "Australian aboriginal with woomera " or https://www.teachermagazine.com/assets/images/teacher/Indigenous-science-Spear-throwers2.jpg Various other weapons were derived for close quarters "stabbing"

:Thank you for asking, Addthomp. Coding wouldn't be necessary; reading will be. You'd have to start by finding out whether the murals fall into the public domain (in the legal sense of this term). For what is and isn't in the public domain in the US, please read :c:Commons:Copyright rules by territory/United States. Start by assuming that the murals aren't in the public domain; look for incontrovertible evidence that they do (and be ready to cite this evidence). If, and only if, they are demonstrably in the public domain, then you may upload your photographs of them to Wikimedia Commons. (Each time, you'd have to attach an appropriate US public domain template.) These photographs of yours would themselves be in the public domain (see Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp.). If the murals are not in the public domain, then your options are very much more limited (see Wikipedia:Non-free content). I note that the article United States Post Office (Cooper Station) says that the building they're in "was built in 1937"; I'm assuming that the murals weren't moved in from elsewhere and thus are no older than 1937. -- Hoary (talk) 06:53, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

I recently completed the upgrading of an English starter article to B level. It is called the Bombardment of Greytown. Because it is a history piece set in Central America, I would like to bring my version to the attention of the Spanish editors who created the Spanish version of the original article.

I thought the best and least intrusive way to do this, would be to do a translation that would not overwrite any of their established article. So I thought I would create a sandbox for it and invite them on the talk page of their article to visit my sandbox and see if they might want to incorporate some or all of the translation into their Spanish version of the article.

What do you think?

I have tried again and again

This helpful line of advice:

Names must not be purely numeric; the software will accept something like ":31337" (which is punctuation plus a number), but it will ignore "31337" (purely numeric).

is what really confuses me.

I cannot do this effort - I don't have the technical skills and I am embarrassed to ask for help. Unfortunately I will let this go - someone in the future might do the "double up" of refs, but it will not be me.

Thank you again Srbernadette (talk) 06:55, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

:What's within the quotation marks of "31337" consists of nothing outside the set {0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9}. This isn't true of what's within the quotation marks of ":31337" (because the numerals are preceded by a colon, of course). Incidentally, I wonder about the accuracy of the advice above: Wikipedia "source" isn't (X)HTML, but it's based on it; and if I remember right, an ID in (X)HTML mustn't merely include something other than a numeral; rather, it must start with something other than a numeral.

Links: Gold Rush (TV series), Jesse D. Goins, Jesse Goins (redirect)

Hi. After watching a show on the internet, I went to look for information about a person called Jesse Goins, who was part of a TV series called Gold Rush: Dave Turin's Lost Mine. Upon going to the page with his name, I was redirected to a page about an actor called Jesse D. Goins, who is not the same person.

I was thinking of changing the redirect into a disambiguation, and including Jesse Goins, directing users to the page about that show. Since I don't want to screw the redirect up, can someone please advise me on how to change a redirect into a disambiguation page please? A search reveals that the show (Gold Rush) does have its own article, and Jesse Goins is mentioned in the subsection relating to the version I mentioned.

Thanks for your advice and help. Dane|Geld 18:51, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

:Hey there,

:If you get redirected, you should see "(Redirected from [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jesse_Goins&redirect=no Jesse Goins])" underneath the page title in the top-left corner of the article.

Ref. number 117 is in red. Please fix if you can. Thank you Srbernadette (talk) 03:00, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

:Srbernadette, that is a problem within what is very likely the longest footnote I have ever encountered anywhere in Wikipedia. I have a soft spot for lengthy footnotes, but this really is monstrous. More problematic is that it appears to quote, at enormous length, something published very recently. If this is, as I suppose, conventionally copyright ("All rights reserved"), then I suspect that the bulk of the quotation exceeds what copyright law normally permits. (However, I'm not particularly knowledgable about copyright law, and am open to being corrected.) Meanwhile, the technical glitch is trivial.

Just came across the page The Feminist Five, where the lead image is a drawing of the five people involved instead of an image. The articles on each individual person (eg Wei Tingting) also uses the same drawing, just cropped. As far as I can tell, the painting is released under a free license, and I didn’t see anything at WP:BLP that says you can’t use a painting, but something feels off about it. Just wanted to confirm that this is okay, or would it be better if it were removed? 45500LighthouseRoad (talk) 15:58, 4 June 2025 (UTC)

::Contrary to {{u|DMacks}}' position that, as they are living, the subjects' photographs could be taken and donated – while that may be theoretically true, the specific geographical and legal circumstances of these five subjects would, I suggest, make it extremely difficult if not hazardous for someone to take and distribute photographs of any of them, let alone all five.

::::Li Tingting's photos in the refs on her article look noticeably different from the artistic drawing as well. I agree that there are people that are alive that would be impossible(ish) to photograph. But I disagree that "it's better to have the existing artwork than nothing at all" if that artwork is at all a concern itself. Articles aren't required to have photographs, and nothing about these individuals' notability or other encyclopediac content relates to their appearance, so the image does not strongly help the reader.

Good day!

I added loads of citations and even added in useful formulas for calculating EAR (effective annual rate both generic and an actual example) with citations to support it. I definitely saved it, but it isn't appearing in my contribution list nor is it appearing in Wikipedia's "view history tab." Is this because my amendments are currently being reviewed?
