and annoyance than helpful comments). BUT (and it's a very big 'but'): I believe you made it in good faith because of your views, and that I don't think you deserved one of our low level templated notices left by one of my fellow administrators. It's very easy to be irritated by these impersonal templated messages, but please appreciate that it's a huge task ensuring that this encyclopaedia is kept running smoothly and sometimes we make mistakes. I know I do - even after 11+ years here. So, my advice is to try to see it from the other person's viewpoint, whilst considering how useful any particular comment is to take forward any debate. I might probably also have removed it with an edit summary saying 'not really very helpful', but wouldn't have left a message on your talk page. However, it could be argued that explaining to you (via a templated message) what I had done, it would at least have communicated clearly what my actions were and why. You might otherwise have wondered what happened to your edit. So, it's a balance thing.

547: 1529:. This will categorize the page into Category:Commons protected edit requests, which administrators regularly check. If this does not work, please post a request at the Administrators' noticeboard. You may also contact any administrator on their talk page or by email. Be sure to specify the exact title of the page you are trying to create or edit, and if it might be misunderstood (for example a page with an unusual name), consider explaining briefly what you want to do. If you wrote any text, save it temporarily on your computer until you can edit it. If you think it is an error that you cannot edit, move or create this page, please report the page title (and the entry on the title blacklist) to the Administrators' noticeboard. Thank you. 368: 12029:, I can see she was a main character. But I think you're asking whether you could create a whole new article about that fictional character? If so, it would only really be OK to do that if that character had been written about in detail and in depth by numerous independent sources analysing the character, its cultural impact and so on. Somehow I doubt this applies to your examples, but you could ask on the talk page of each article and suggest the content and sources you would wish to use. What we don't accept here (ever) is people's person opinions of observations of what a character did in a programme. The only exception is when summarising Plot elements of a programme. 5864: 12572: 1590:

another image with the same title may well exist. That's why it's sensible to upload well-named images. Secondly, it looks like that title is a default numbering taken from Whatsapp. So an automatic filter will have stopped the upload to prevent the likelihood of images taken directly from social media (without the photographer's permission) being uploaded to Knowledge or to Wikimedia Commons. If you are the copyright owner, then I suggest you retitle the image and try again. If you were not the original photographer, then you have no legal right to release it for free commercial use on Knowledge, and should revert to the original photo in the article.

7200: 12068:. But, as you've made the effort to approach me, I'd be happy to answer a batch of questions that you might have if you care to post them below. Or give me some idea of the areas of interest or concern that you might have in which you'd seek support. It may take me a few days to reply as I'm about to go on a trip for a week. Other editors do take on very new users, but I prefer to see and support editors who seek a better understanding of policies and procedures, having already invested the effort in gaining the basics for themselves. Sorry if this isn't quite what you wanted, but do feel free to ask away! Regards from the UK, 354: 12828: 594: 12985: 13102:. This periodic process makes sure that engineers can switch data centers and keep all of the wikis available for readers, even if there are major technical issues. It also gives engineers a chance to do maintenance and upgrades on systems that normally run 24 hours a day, and often helps to reveal weaknesses in the infrastructure. The process involves dozens of software services and hundreds of hardware servers, and requires multiple teams working together. Work over the past few years has reduced the time from 17 minutes down to 2–3 minutes. 5872: 7652:

it's OK to say "according to". But that would enable you to then add, "However, other academics believe that xxxx is the case", and to offer appropriate citations (one citation if one person published their disagreement, or multiple citations if you can show the original quoted source may well be viewed as incorrect by multiple experts. That then gives two different interpretations of which mathematicians were the last to have a full grasp of the entire branch of mathematics (which I assume was the intended meaning of the statement.

Gerrit and GitLab are both code repositories used by developers to write, review, and deploy the software code that supports the MediaWiki software that the wiki projects are built on, as well as the tools used by editors to create and improve content. This decision will safeguard the productivity of our developers and prevent problems in code review from affecting our users.

It's important to point out that we do not permit editors to alter their own Knowledge articles, unless it relates to removing uncited/unsubstantiated statements which might be false or libellous. Only content sourced from independent publications should ever be added (e.g. books, magazines, newspapers and news websites etc) User-generated content such as IMDb, personal blogs or websites, social media, interviews with the subject, etc are not accepted. 441: 25: 2190: 362: 618: 12678: 12643: 12605: 12394: 12378: 12300: 11369: 11025: 10997: 10447: 10366: 9751: 9674: 9170:

So, keeping busy and trying to keep fit! There's never enough time in the day! Cheers,

end, it's down to any consensus being determined on an article's talk page. I wouldn't want to see such a section added just to get around a consensus view that one extra, obscure name isn't needed. Such a section might look at etymology - and Grigson's 'Dictionary of English plant Names' - would be a brilliant source for a section on non-scientific names. Maybe there's something equivalent in the animal world, I don't know?

edit space, the submit button is not there. If I go back to the read space after adding the new code, it does not show the new version but the old version of the article. I apologise, but I still need more instructions on how to edit the draft you created and still get to click on the submit button. It was more straightforward on the Finnish Knowledge, so I am really struggling with this technically.

11807: 10600: 9367: 8454: 6990: 5663: 4371: 3010: 1011: 12953: 3722: 2231:). So, do please look at those two pages and assess whether or not you feel your musical fame has reached the point where you merit an article about you here. If you think you do, please point me to the sources that talk about you, your life and your achievements. Bear in mind that personal websites, social media pages, IMdB and other user-generated content is not accepted as a 4594:

this sounds like a relatively minor fact, we would normally accept a reference to the school's own website or other publications where it is clear that "academisation" has taken place, and when. If you can't find a source, then do not add stuff that you "happen to know", as we need all articles to be verifiable by other people with access to those publications or websites.

1345:. No, I'm afraid not. Not unless the celebrity is dead and there are no other freely licenced images available. You cannot simply take (=steal) a copyrighted image from the internet and add it to an article about a living person. We take copyright theft very seriously. I assume you didn't take the images yourself? If you had, then there would be no issue. Does that help? 7887:, and you are free to contribute to these. But you must NOT add your personal opinions to any article. That is not how we work. All factual statements liable to be challenged must be supported with citations to reliably published sources such as books, research journals and mainstream news websites. Blogs and privately published websites are not accepted here as sources. 12515:

really who is behind this agenda. It must be super powerful to stand up to such a strange occurance. If there is no identifiable source, how about your personable opinion. Do you as an individual not find this entire scene questionable? Are you allowed to have a personal opinion? Inquiring minds want to know. Is there an inimitable danger of life or death for asking.

11450: 9207:, and you will learn how to add citations to support new content. Writing new articles is very very hard, especially for a new editor. So start slowly and learn the basics of editing and improving articles. You have a 'Homepage' tab which offers you an opportunity to make small improvements in one of several different areas to get you off to a good start. 2011:

take it slowly and carefully. Print out a copy of the article. Read it line by line (out loud). Does the English flow? Is every factual statement cited to a reliable source? Have you been able to find some of the key books on the subject from your local library and to use them to guide you? Match every GA criterion to every single sentence and reference.

6422:. Simply 'existing' isn't sufficient. Everything written here must be based upon properly published sources that are not user-generated. i.e. we don't accept IMDB, blogs, personal websites etc. Unless you can find this series has been covered in mainstream media, then I'm afraid you would be wasting your time trying to promote it here. Do please read 5333: 761:). In other words, he either must evidently meet the sports notability criteria, OR he must have had a number of in depth and detailed articles in newspapers, magazines etc that have independently written about him and his life and achievements. I might have expected to see a page on Finnish Knowledge, but I see there is not one as yet. 4923:, then the answer is your draft article will not be published. It's as simple as that. Everything you add to Knowledge must be based upon what published sources say, albeit written in your own words. You cannot simply add content based upon either your personal knowledge or your imagination, nor what the topic says about itself. See 1882:- is this the one you mean? You can edit an article yourself, though not simply from things you personally happen to know about it. You must first find reliable, published sources (not personal blogs, personal websites opr social media). So, books, old newspapers, jopurnals or online news outlets are required. Make the improvements 2096:. If you're a brand new Knowledge editor, that's a pretty good spot! I took a look and it's mostly unsourced promotional content about a company's products, without any evidence that other, independent sources have taken note of the company and have written about it. I did a quick Google search and couldn't find much to support our 6899:. Welcome to Knowledge. It's not appropriate to add a photo of yourself to Knowledge. As a new user, please focus instead on improving this encyclopaedia of notable subjects, rather than trying to create a 'profile page' about yourself. It would probably be deleted if you were to try, as your userpage is there just for you to say 1985:. If you had asked at the Teahouse, I'd probably be just as likely to have answered you there! It looks a meaty article, and you should be aware that these things take a lot of preparation, time and commitment. I do have experience of spending 6 months or more getting one shortish list article up to a full-blown GA article (see 2796:). I would expect there to be mainstream media reporting of the series, in the form of reviews, behind the scenes stories, magazine articles about it, etc. Be aware that IMdB consists of user-generated content and is not regarded as especially reliable - certainly not as the main source. BTW: Ref seems especially irrelevant. 9466: 6103:, you will see that it should simply summarise the reasons for notability without getting too technical. If you could simplify the lead, whilst emphasising reasons for notability, I think you may stand a chance of seeing this through into the main encyclopaedia. I hope this helps.

So, I think by now you appreciate your edits weren't acceptable to this encyclopaedia. But, if you were the inventor of these games, simply take pleasure in knowing that others enjoy them, too.
