Question from Leonardo da vin (23:16, 29 December 2024)

Hi, how do you put grid charts? --Leonardo da vin (talk) 23:16, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Can you link me to an example? Static charts can simply be included as images. Dynamic charts are a bit of an issue, as the Mediawiki extension was closed down due to security problems, and I don't know the current status of the replacement code. See also Wikipedia:Graphs and charts. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 05:51, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Click here for example. Leonardo da vin (talk) 21:39, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Then scroll down to the "Major junctions" section Leonardo da vin (talk) 21:41, 30 December 2024 (UTC)

Question from Gunspice (22:49, 2 January 2025)

Hello Pbsouthwood I’m facing an issue with my Wikipedia page, Prisca Abah. It’s currently up for deletion, and I’d like to understand why and what I can do to address it. I’m surprised to find my long-standing Wikipedia page flagged for deletion because of alleged promotional content. I had no idea anything promotional was added. Could you point out the problematic sections so I can revise or remove them to align with Wikipedia’s policies? Your help would mean a lot before the page is taken down. --Gunspice (talk) 22:49, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

ssh, Pbsouthwood's asleep Leonardo da vin (talk) 23:11, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

In what way is Prisca Abah "your" Wikipedia page?

The issue appears to be more a matter of lack of notability due to poor quality references. The reasons given in the deletion proposal are given at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prisca Abah, you can make counter-proposals or argue against deletion there. The most effective defence would be to show that the topic is WP:NOTABLE by providing sufficient reliable sources.· · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 03:21, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Guideline and policy news

• Following an RFC, Wikipedia:Notability (species) was adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
• A request for comment is open to discuss whether admins should be advised to warn users rather than issue no-warning blocks to those who have posted promotional content outside of article space.

Technical news

• The Nuke feature also now provides links to the userpage of the user whose pages were deleted, and to the pages which were not selected for deletion, after page deletions are queued. This enables easier follow-up admin-actions.

Arbitration

• Following the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections, the following editors have been elected to the Arbitration Committee: CaptainEek, Daniel, Elli, KrakatoaKatie, Liz, Primefac, ScottishFinnishRadish, Theleekycauldron, Worm That Turned.

Miscellaneous

• A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in January 2025 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!

New draft article

Hi @Pbsouthwood! I made a draft: Draft:De Anza Boulevard. Any improvements i could make? Leonardo da vin (talk) 23:01, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

The most important is to add in-line references to support the content.

Don't use all caps in any statement.

Don't put references in headers.

It is not clear what content is intended for the section "Directions", but a reference is unsuitable on its own. A reference is used to support a statement.

I-280 is a redirect to a disambiguation page, change it to a link to the correct article, presumably Interstate 280 (California).

Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 04:53, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

More content would also be good. · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 04:54, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Ok, sure! Thanks. Directions section is supposed to be for directions to De Anza Boulevard

Is there any way i could improve that section? Warm regards, Leonardo da vin (talk) 15:40, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a guidebook, but a discussion of the geographical and social context of the street could be encyclopedic. This is not my field of expertise and experience, so you may be better served by asking at the WP:Teahouse. A review of articles on similar topics should inspire some ideas too.

Question from Leonardo da vin

Hi @Pbsouthwood

For Draft:De Anza Boulevard, I put the page in Category:Streets in San Jose, California but it says to make my article show up in the category it has to be in the article namespace. What is that even supposed to mean?

Thanks,r Leonardo da vin (talk) 22:56, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Content categories are for main space articles. They are not intended for draft articles, so when the article is moved to article/main space, it will show up in the category as intended. This is to keep the draft articles from the public view while they are being worked on. See also WP:Namespace Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 05:59, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

Okay, just wanted to know. I read Wikipedia:Namespace befre. the page is kinda confusing. :/ Leonardo da vin (talk) 21:36, 27 January 2025 (UTC)

You're right, that page is confusing. I added a section in that article's lead to hopefully clarify what a namespace actually intends to do, to help newer editors. anchovy ^TALK⁄_CONT 08:54, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Question from Craftfilmsla (11:06, 30 January 2025)

Hi there, Im trying to find the move option from sandbox, which is not really appearing in the tool menu. Can you please help me regarding that? Thank you. --Craftfilmsla (talk) 11:06, 30 January 2025 (UTC)

The basic problem is that you only have 3 edits, so your account is not yet WP:Confirmed.

The second thing is that your username suggests that you are closely connected to the topic of your sandbox article, and you have not made a declaration of conflict of interest as far as I can see. (see WP:COI)

If you are receiving any reward for editing or creating the article, for example if you own shares or are employed by the company, you must also declare this. (see WP:PAID)

Please also note that a Wikipedia account may only be used by one person. Your user name may give the impression that it is intended for use by more than one person. If this is the case it will be blocked and you will have to choose another which does not give that impression. (see WP:USERNAMES, WP:ISU, WP:ORGNAME)

Please read and ensure that you comply with the requirements of those policies. They are taken very seriously by Wikipedia · · · Peter Southwood ^(talk): 12:05, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
