How much knowledge is there on Wikipedia? Does Wikipedia have the same amount of knowledge as with paper encyclopedias? How do you gain experience? Knowledge542 (talk) 20:28, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

:Hello @Knowledge542, welcome to the teahouse! Wikipedia probably has more knowledge in it then any other encyclopedia ever. That's one of the benefits of being an online encyclopedia - it all gets updated and expanded in real time! As per your second question, simply edit! If you're unsure what you can do, I'd suggest checking out the task center for a good list of things you can try out. From there, you can do all sorts of stuff - copyedit, source, categorize, and maybe even write an article once you feel you're ready! PhoenixCaelestis (Talk · Contributions) 20:38, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

::@PhoenixCaelestis How could Wikipedia have more knowledge than any other encyclopedia? Knowledge542 (talk) 21:26, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

:::@Knowledge542, by volume alone? The World Book Encyclopedia claims to have over 17,000 articles in the 2025 set. Wikipedia has over 6 million. When I was a kid, we had two different full sets Funk & Wagnalls and the World Book, and a third set that was written for an audience of children learners. I read them. A lot. I tried to read cover-to-cover. For World Book, the jump references were too enticing, and I'd end up pulling out a different volume and reading that article. The articles were well edited. But, there were not the many thousands of contributors that Wikipedia has. And, there are only so many pages available. Some encyclopediae are more concise based on subject, or just to keep the page count low. Wikipedia does not have that physical limit. It does not have the same level of editorial oversight. Some articles are sparse or badly written. But they exist, or can be made to exist fairly quickly. This is not the case with an encyclopedia that is frozen in time. Even with the annual yearbook updates, the World Book became stale. Countries changed. Historical and scientific assumptions were disproved. We went from atoms being invisible to printing a photograph of an atom...a huge change in perception, and expensive addendum to a printed encyclopedia.

:::Have you read much of a conventional encyclopedia set? What has your experience been? Just Al (talk) 22:27, 15 May 2025 (UTC)

::::@Just Al @PhoenixCaelestis Yes I read a convention encyclopedia set and they look spectacular to me. I wish Wikipedia would be in print. What is the reason on lack of editorial oversight? Knowledge542 (talk) 00:42, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::My experience has been fine to me. Knowledge542 (talk) 00:43, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::Primarily, Wikipedia is maintained by volunteers in their own time. Published paper encyclopediae have paid writers, editors, proofreaders, fact-checkers, and other support staff to keep the business running. They also have deadlines. In publishing, there are drop-dead dates that mean an article is pulled and replaced if it is not deemed acceptable when the layouts are locked in before the printing process begins. An article must be polished, or it is scrubbed for another date (or not at all). That pressure will limit the count of articles, but also improve the quality of the few that remain. At Wikipedia, there are no deadlines. And drafts are acceptable to publish because it allows other editors to participate or provide advice. It's always a work-in-progress. Just Al (talk) 17:49, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

::::::@Just Al However, are World Book encyclopedias still relevant today, despite being published annually? Knowledge542 (talk) 04:35, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::::I’m still waiting for responses. Knowledge542 (talk) 09:01, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

::::::::I'm not sure what information you're looking for. Printed encyclopediae have the goal of making money via library sales and monthly subscriptions from consumers. Wikipedia is not that. Both are sources of information. Only one is able to be cited as a sourth of information. One is curated to a higher degree to meet deadlines, editorial expectations, and production limitations. Only you can answer if they are relevant for you. Just Al (talk) 18:38, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::::::@Just Al I think that print encyclopedias are still relevant to me, despite being in the age of Information Technology world. The digital encyclopedia really did outnumber print though. Knowledge542 (talk) 21:27, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

:Wikipedia has more knowledge than any other encyclopedia because it is created and updated by millions of people around the world. Unlike traditional encyclopedias written by a small group of experts, Wikipedia allows anyone to contribute, which means it can cover a much wider range of topics. It is constantly updated, available in many languages, and free to access, making it one of the most comprehensive and up-to-date sources of information globally. Sasolely (talk) 18:03, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

:You gain experience by doing things repeatedly, learning from mistakes, and reflecting on what works and what doesn’t. Whether it’s studying, working, practicing a skill, or interacting with others, each time you take action, you build knowledge and confidence. Over time, these experiences help you improve, make better decisions, and handle challenges more effectively. In short: you gain experience by trying, failing, learning, and trying again.

I've found an article with a link to a dead site (specifically citation six on Joseph Fletcher). I've found an archived version at [https://web.archive.org/web/20141206172212/http://www.riverbendds.org/index.htm?page=fletcher.html], how would I go about replacing the citation? Vəssel ^{[talk to mə]} 10:59, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:@Vəssel Welcome to the Teahouse. There is general advice at WP:LINKROT. If you run into problems with creating the new citations after reading the instructions, just ask back here for more advice. Mike Turnbull (talk) 11:36, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

::@Vəssel For better or worse, with the help of your providing the archive link, I have fixed this.

::Presumably there are bots that go around repairing what fraction of the links they can, with whatever limited ability they have. It's considerably easier when someone has provided a good archive link, but then again, if a good archive link is readily available, then (I wa under the impression that) the bots should be fixing them.

::Properly fixing an archive link (assuming the bots will never catch up) is at least one of the better unmitigated improvements you can make to Wikipedia, and you can be sure there will be ample broken links to work on. The challenge often is actually to find a working archive link. You often need a bag of tricks to locate good archive links, and to my knowledge, there is no place where it's written down, and often what you need to know is not obviously documented. So you can spend a fair amount of time in some cases and pat your self on the back when you've succeeded with a particularly challenging case. Fabrickator (talk) 12:34, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:::Oh, huh - with this one I just plugged it into the wayback machine and it already had an archive. Maybe I was lucky. Vəssel ^{[talk to mə]} 13:14, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

::::@Vəssel Thank goodness it already had an archive, because the link was broken as of December 2023, and once the link is broken, it's too late to create the archive. But that means the link has been broken for over a year, why had the bots not fixed it in that period of time?

::::I would suggest that if Wikipedia doesn't have the resources to keep links working, then the project is on a doomed mission. It take a lot of volunteer resources to make WP what it is, the size of WP constantly grows, but if links break and don't automatically get fixed (even when the archive is readily available), then the project is on a downward trend that will continue to get worse. Fabrickator (talk) 14:44, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::Have a look at User:InternetArchiveBot, a bot that can help you proactively add these archive links ClaudineChionh (she/her · talk · email · global) 10:48, 17 May 2025 (UTC)

::::::I had assumed that we have something running InternetArchiveBot and similar bots across all articles ... if we're supposed to be relying on manual invocations, that would not seem like a particularly viable solution. Fabrickator (talk) 01:28, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::::I thought so too, but now I can't find documentation for this. In any case, even if a bot is crawling article links automatically, there's a lot of crawling to do so it doesn't hurt to manually poke the bot for articles that we want to prioritise. — ClaudineChionh (she/her · talk · email · global) 01:34, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

::::::::Selecting a good archive link is really beyond the capability of the bot. Sure, there may be nothing wrong with it most of the time, but if I have to do something manually, I'd rather just do it myself so we can be sure that we're linking to a good archive copy.

Hi all. I've just published a new page on Touch-Starvation. It is oddly linked because I created it as a separate article due to some problems I encountered attempting to change it to a new page from the existing sub-link on the Haptic communication page. If someone could help with redirecting those to the new page it would be appreciated

All my best,

CSGinger14 (talk) 22:43, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

:@CSGinger14, I'm afraid I don't quite know what you mean by oddly linked. It seems to be working for me, maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're asking? PhoenixCaelestis (Talk · Contributions) 22:54, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

::Hi, sorry, I'm trying to figure it out on my own but I'm having difficulties. There's a redirect code somewhere in the Haptic communication article which is preventing me from changing the name of the article from Touch-starvation to Touch starvation (no -). It doesn't necessarily have to be changed, but it's about a paragraph in length vs the full page article I just created from it. I'd assumed it would be an easy fix, the problem is that there isn't actually a redirect code for "skin hunger" anywhere in the haptic communication article, despite the fact that it reports there is when I try to create a redirect of my own on the page. Any help would be appreciated, I may figure it out before then but regardless thank you.

::Best, CSGinger14 (talk) 22:58, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

:::Aah, I think I understand now. The page you speak of is this here (sorry for the external link, it just takes you to the non-redirected version of the page). You can find info on merging your existing article with this redirect at WP:MERGE. I hope this answers your question! PhoenixCaelestis (Talk · Contributions) 23:01, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

:::Minor addendum since clicking my link does not work: Typing in "Touch starvation" does indeed redirect to the Haptic communication article, but scrolling back up to the top should say "Redirected from Touch starvation" in parentheses. Clicking on that touch starvation link takes you to the redirect. My bad. PhoenixCaelestis (Talk · Contributions) 23:02, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

::::@PhoenixCaelestis Hi Phoenix, so I had actually figured it out. This is going to sound like a bit of a weird request, but I'd appreciate some help in changing the name to simply 'Touch starvation' without moving it to another page. It celebrates my 500th edit on the website, and, though I'm aware that it skirts the edge of WP:OWN guidelines, I'd really appreciate being able to go back to the page's first edit as a memento, instead of going through edits of a previous version of the page which I didn't participate in the creation of nor read in advance. In no way am I attempting to nor do I want to assert any control, ownership, or responsibility for the page, simply to have it as a marker/memory. Reasonably the page that's been saved (under "skin hunger," as opposed to "touch starvation") is saved for record-keeping purposes that don't have to do with the page I created. I'd argue that it would make it more difficult for administrators to find those records independently, given that its tied more to its merger with the haptic communication page than the creation of my page, which it simply serves as a redirect for. If merging the "touch starvation" page into the "touch-starvation" page would suffice (as opposed to vice versa), that's fine as well.

::::In plain (please read above for context), I'm just asking someone to delete or cache the page for "Touch starvation" (case sensitive) as opposed to merging the article I created with it, as it would remove my edit as the creation of the page, which I don't see as being practically any more useful for record keeping, given that its history consists of four edits, 1 of which created the page as a redirect to 'Skin hunger' (which will be stored anyway, as the page hasn't been deleted), one of which was a bot, and two of which were me. It's the only time I plan to make such a request, partly as its the only time I suspect it would be applicable. I would not be asking if I didn't have a god awful week, at the end of which I was supposed to graduate (but will not be, all my best to the fifth-year seniors of the world), and I really just need a win to be honest. I'm not sure what guidelines are, but if you'd be willing to work within the grey lines I'd appreciate it.

::::All my best,

::::CSGinger14 (talk) 23:37, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::I believe you need to first take the redirect to redirects for discussion. Then, if the redirect is deleted, you should be able to move your page to the one that was just deleted. Moving your page preserves the page's history; it is not deleted. Hope this finally solves your dilemma. PhoenixCaelestis (Talk · Contributions) 23:49, 18 May 2025 (UTC)

::::::@CSGinger14 This is a common problem, and there's no need to go to Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion. The proper venue is WP:Requested moves/Technical requests, where you can ask that an administrator delete the redirect and replace it with your article. As PhoenixCaelestis said, this will preserve the page history. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 04:43, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

I feel that cliché terms like "cult film" and "urban legend" don't necessarily benefit an article. Cliché terms in some articles, like the mention of "cult following" for the film Troll 2, are properly sourced. Other articles have cliché terms, such as "urban legend" in the Jayne Mansfield article, that are unsourced.

I'm interested in learning how to modify a Wikipedia bot to find examples of these terms and manually determine which are unsourced. Assuming I find lots of articles with unsourced cliché terms, should I post a notice on each Talk page to get input before deleting them, or should I notify those who handle Wikipedia policy and get their input?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jayne_Mansfield Gamboler (talk) 01:36, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

:@Gamboler, to rephrase, you're talking about: 1) looking for cliche phrases like "cult following" in the body text of articles, 2) checking to see if this is verified by a citation in the article, and 3) removing the mention of "cult following" or whatever from the article if it's not verified? If that's what you mean, that's fine, just go ahead and do that, no need to get anyone's input. Of course, if someone complains, you'll have to stop and talk it out with them, but until that happens, this is just normal editing, so go ahead and be WP:BOLD. It looks like you have [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?fulltext=1&search=%22cult%20following%22&title=Special%3ASearch&ns0=1&ns4=1&ns10=1&ns12=1 about 7000 articles] to check.

::@Shantaviral, thanks very much for your reply. You're correct that my calling them "cliché terms" isn't fair, at least without establishing firmer reasoning for doing so. Thank you for pointing out that I need to further research these terms to clarify my thinking about how best to describe them. You pose an interesting question about what term to use. I'll review the articles you mentioned, as well as their sources. I'll focus any editing efforts only on those that aren't sourced. Gamboler (talk) 12:57, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Please I need somebody who is not mixed up because most of "admins" are family type so even some of them act injustice their family member will help him.

Lets say I am wrong in my defense please do not cancel me, I am just an editor. Please use your authority in a way that a serious editor respect not turn against you.

How do I ask for or create an assessment box for Wikipedia:WikiProject World Heritage Sites. Nevermind I was trying to make one of those rectangular boxes which tell you what importance and class an article is and I succeeded, thanks for everyones responses. Easternsahara (talk) 17:09, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

:Hi there {{user link|Easternsahara}}. In general, when an article is of interest to a certain WikiProject, the relevant WikiProject banner template is placed at the top of the talk page like this:

:

{{WikiProject banner shell |class= |

{{WikiProject World Heritage Sites |importance= }}

}}

:You can see the specific guidelines for the WikiProject you mention at Wikipedia:WikiProject World Heritage Sites/Assessment. While that page has a Requests for assessment subsection it seems to be inactive, so instead I suggest you try {{em|assessing it yourself!}} The class parameter classifies how well-written the article is. You can grade the article with the grading scheme. The only restriction is that good articles (with the green-plus icon) and featured articles (with the star icon) have a more formal review process. The importance parameter indicates how much priority a WikiProject gives to a certain article. It's somewhat subjective but you can guide yourself with the table in this page (ignore the rest of the page, it's about a discontinued project). Feel free to ask any other questions. Have a nice day :) –The Sophocrat (talk) 20:07, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

I'm having trouble finding any relevant MoS entries regarding linking an image directly in text rather than having it appear in the article. For example: green sea turtle.

So, I stumbled upon this page. And I think it should be deleted. However, I'm uncertain if it truly should. to me it looks like a word salad, but it has plenty of sources. The thing that bugs me is that I don't know what the article is. At no point does this article cohesively tell me what "Childfree Russia" aims to do.

Hi all. I was planning on making a page of a case currently working its way through the courts that has received several judgements from the Supreme Court as of the past several days. I haven't been able to find any specific site guidelines that point to whether or not current cases can be discussed, but I know that normally information on pages for elections that haven't occurred and (potential) candidates for those elections is supposed to be kept to a minimum. If anybody could shed some light on this it would be appreciated.

All the best - CSGinger14 (talk) 22:04, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

:@CSGinger14 Wikipedia has plenty of articles about upcoming elections and court cases; e.g. the bluelinked articles listed at List of pending United States Supreme Court cases and List of elections in 2026. If the case has been discussed in reliable sources then it should probably have an article.

:I don't think there's a need to keep information about upcoming elections to a minimum, other than following the WP:NPOL notability guideline for candidates and filtering out routine news items such as "Candidate holds a rally". Helpful Raccoon (talk) 05:18, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

Hi all,

The page HaKol HaYehudi used to contain an article about an Israeli newspaper, but now it redirects to an irrelevant article which mentions it once.

I would like to restore the page. The decision to delete it (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/HaKol HaYehudi) was voted on by one person (they voted to delete it, I don't know how it became a redirect).

How should I go about it? Tioaeu8943 (talk) 01:32, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

:Hi Tioaeu8943. If you believe that the deletion was improper or consensus was not established then you can file a deletion review here. Fade258 (talk) 01:45, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

::Hi, {{u|Tioaeu8943}}! In my view, to successfully restore the article, we must show that the newspaper meets the criteria for a standalone article, sometimes called WP:GNG or "[wiki]notability". That involves seeing how many reliable secondary sources independent of the subject cover the subject beyond a passing mention (significant coverage). In this specific case, we would need to see significant coverage on the paper itself, not the raid. With enough appropriate sources, you can simply restore an older version of the article and improve it with said sources. If not enough such sources exist, not even deletion review can help. Finding and analyzing sources is not a trivial task and can trip up even experienced editors. As for the original deletion discussion, the nomination statement ends with {{tq|Should be redirected to Yitzhar#2011 or deleted}} (wikilink original). Deletion discussions are not a vote, and closers try to use alternatives to deletion whenever possible; the discussion generated no opposition to redirecting.

But can you please all explain why can’t you create multiple accounts just to pretend to be multiple people or mislead that they are different people? Why these multiple accounts should never be used to edit the same article, unless linked and disclosed each other? Why is this considered sockpuppetry?

:Please provide multiple reliable sources showing notability and significant coverage of this book. You can request an article at WP:REQ, or write the article yourself, though you must then declare your conflict of interest. GoldRomean (talk) 18:38, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

So, I am looking into working on a new article for Wikipedia focused on covering another wiki's existence (Consumer Rights Wiki), however, as I am a prolific contributor on this other wiki, I do feel some concerns due to the conflict of interest rules established by Wikipedia.

Should I consider leaving this towards a contributor who exists on this wiki or simply abandon the article's idea entirely? JamesTDG (talk) 19:56, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

:You should follow the guidance at WP:COI. If the wiki meets the criteria at WP:N, you can draft an article about it using WP:AFC, and an independent editor will review it. Then you should only make requests for changes on its talk page. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:36, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

hello, i am editing a biography of my supervisor. i submitted to review and the comments are that i need to add reliable sources, but i added sources to prove the sentences that i wrote. I wonder where should i add more sources and how is reliable or how is not, it is not clear enough.
