Question from DavidSoler2027 (16:52, 7 November 2024)
[edit]ho do i make a cool buttons on my page --DavidSoler2027 (talk) 16:52, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

Question from DavidSoler2027 (17:19, 7 November 2024)
[edit]Can you rate my first edit the page used to be a redirect to the podcast the guy made but I added more info of him! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Mahnke?useskin=vector --DavidSoler2027 (talk) 17:19, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
- There are few things to consider for the edit you made: First is the fact that you copied the text from his website which is a no-go. It's a copyright violation. You should write text in your own words, not copy it from somewhere. Second is the fact that the text is quite promotional and uses PEACOCK terms, which should also be avoided. I recommend that you take a look at Help:Your first article and Help:Getting started to learn how a basic article should be written. Nobody (talk) 17:43, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

- Hi DoubleGrazing (congrats on admin btw), I agree that the current sources are clearly not in-depth, but I'm wondering how many in-depth I should search for before resubmitting, 2-4 or more? Thanks Nobody (talk) 09:01, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi (and thanks!), we usually want to see three solid sources that meet the WP:GNG standard; while that's not a hard and fast rule, for companies and other organisations it in practice probably is the minimum. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:29, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Source Questions
[edit]Hello,
Editing about a Swiss Botanist at the moment. There is a source I wanted to check out, but it seems to be physical only for the journal, which is in Switzerland (go figure). I wanted to see if you, or if someone else you know in proximity, could rent out the journal? I know its a long shot, but figured I'd see if a Swiss member would be able.
Here is the article link, to which the actual article is hosted in seemingly here, which is pointing towards the University of Zurich, maybe Plant Sciences. My German is a little rough anyways, but I was trying my best! ChemicalBear (talk) 17:37, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi ChemicalBear, I found the article your searching for here, here and here. Hope this helps. Nobody (talk) 17:56, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you so much! I was seemingly only getting one hit for that, acting as loop as it brought me back to that first link! I appreciate your help! ChemicalBear (talk) 18:02, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- No worries, feel free to contact me any time if you look for swiss journal articles. Nobody (talk) 18:03, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- Follow-up question. Would you know of a good way to cite resting places? There is clearly his gravestone (which was provided through FindAGrave (which is on the no-no list for sourcing)) on the article page, however none of my obituaries from journals give his resting place (from what I can see/ascertain from my German skills) ChemicalBear (talk) 18:06, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- Most of the times you can't really add the resting place either because there's no reliable source or because it's not WP:DUE. Given that there's already a image of the gravestone on the article, the sentece is probably not needed. Nobody (talk) 18:42, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

Why did you revert Johannes Stössel?
[edit]"Privatdozent for National economy"
Privatdozent is synonymous with lecturer, I can pipe Privatdozent but we would be just be calling ananas a pineapple.
National economy doesn't make sense in English for that context. The subject is called economics.
RCSCott91 (talk) 07:01, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- Because there's a difference between Privatdozent and Lecturer. His title was Privatdozent, so he wasn't just a lecturer. The sources say he teached National economy not just economics, why shoud we use less detailed wording when we have the sources to back it up? If someone asks you what you ate, you also say "a steak" and not just "meat" or "food". Nobody (talk) 07:07, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- After reading the article for for Privatdozent, I went to the Deutsch article to see if there was more info, Privatdozent is literally akin to a Senior lecturer. The phrase splitting hairs comes to mind.
- The source states Nationalökonomie which if we aren't going to interpret words into English is more precisely Volkswirtschaftslehre . The English Wiki doesn't have an article that lines up with it either.
- My point is, "he was a senior lecturer of economics", is an adequate statement.
- RCSCott91 (talk) 09:00, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- It's adequate, but less precise. I get that it could impact the readability based on the reader, so I'm not sure what's the best practice in a case like this. Nobody (talk) 09:17, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- If we are gonna be sticklers for his professional position. His expertise in a unique field of economics should also be maintained. At least until someone can properly translate or create an article for that economic concept in the English wiki. RCSCott91 (talk) 18:18, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- Agreed. Nobody (talk) 18:21, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

hello, how i can create a translation for the same article? --Asmaa ln (talk) 11:10, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
Article
[edit]Hi. Is there any problem if I use the source in this format?:
Kizu was born in Hakodate in 1830 and was a tailor by trade. Iosif Goshkevich, the Russian consul in Japan, visited his shop and asked him to make Western cloth. Although Kizu accepted his request, he took one of his suits as sample as he had never made Western suit. Thus, he made the first Western suit in Japan and expanded his business by specializing in this field.
After some time, Kizu traveled to his hometown in Echigo Province. He bought the camera he saw on the ship he was traveling in exchange for a bear skin. However, he did not manage to take a photo with the camera. Since Goshkevich was an amateur photographer, he asked him to teach him what he knew about photography when he returned to Hakodate. As Kizu's clothing business was failing, he decided to open his own photography studio in Hakodate in 1864. Cosmic Bard utora! 07:51, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Looks around 50% original, 45% paraphrased, so it should be alright. Nobody (talk) 08:06, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Tech News: 2024-48
[edit]Latest tech news from the Wikimedia technical community. Please tell other users about these changes. Not all changes will affect you. Translations are available.
Updates for editors
- A new version of the standard wikitext editor-mode syntax highlighter will be available as a beta feature later this week. This brings many new features and bug fixes, including right-to-left support, template folding, autocompletion, and an improved search panel. You can learn more on the help page.
- The 2010 wikitext editor now supports common keyboard shortcuts such
Ctrl
+B

+I
for italics. A full list of all six shortcuts is available. Thanks to SD0001 for this improvement. [5] - Starting November 28, Flow/Structured Discussions pages will be automatically archived and set to read-only at the following wikis: bswiki, elwiki, euwiki, fawiki, fiwiki, frwikiquote, frwikisource, frwikiversity, frwikivoyage, idwiki, lvwiki, plwiki, ptwiki, urwiki, viwikisource, zhwikisource. This is done as part of StructuredDiscussions deprecation work. If you need any assistance to archive your page in advance, please contact Trizek (WMF).
- View all 25 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week. For example, a user creating a new AbuseFilter can now only set the filter to "protected" if it includes a protected variable.
Updates for technical contributors
- The CodeEditor, which can be used in JavaScript, CSS, JSON, and Lua pages, now offers live autocompletion. Thanks to SD0001 for this improvement. The feature can be temporarily disabled on a page by pressing
Ctrl
+,
and un-selecting "Live Autocompletion". - Tool-maintainers who use the Graphite system for tracking metrics, need to migrate to the newer Prometheus system. They can check this dashboard and the list in the Description of the task T350592 to see if their tools are listed, and they should claim metrics and dashboards connected to their tools. They can then disable or migrate all existing metrics by following the instructions in the task. The Graphite service will become read-only in April. [6]
- The New PreProcessor parser performance report has been fixed to give an accurate count for the number of Wikibase entities accessed. It had previously been resetting after 400 entities. [7]
Meetings and events
- A Language community meeting will take place November 29 at 16:00 UTC. There will be presentations on topics like developing language keyboards, the creation of the Mooré Wikipedia, the language support track at Wiki Indaba, and a report from the Wayuunaiki community on their experiences with the Incubator and as a new community over the last 3 years. This meeting will be in English and will also have Spanish interpretation.

Speedy deletion nomination of Gemini Software Solutions
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Gemini Software Solutions, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Question from Ahsanrazakhokhar (19:11, 30 November 2024)
[edit]I came across many articles where you find Many Famous People, but there are no details about their spouses. Recently, I searched about the Austrian empire, but there is very little information about their family's feminine Side. I really want to Contribute To that Perspective and Guide you through It.
RGDS --Ahsanrazakhokhar (talk) 19:11, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Ahsanrazakhokhar (talk page watcher) One obstacle is that women tend to not be noted (systemic misogyny...it's a thing), which is something you need to get an article on Wikipedia. On top of that, if a notable person has a living, low-profile spouse, we need to respect their privacy.
- But hey, if you can overcome those issues, please go ahead. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 23:08, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah But Slowly and with Thorug Research. This issue just pushed me to come to wikipedia to add some thing to the written history. I am still learning the ways to edit and add the details. I hope By Your Mentorship I ll be able to. Make some contributions. Ahsanrazakhokhar (talk) 23:17, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
