Guidance in referencing
Hi, here I need your support for reference. The article that I am working on was an estate during British Raj in India. And I am current scion of this estate. I could not find any newspaper article related to it which is printed digitally, but have handwritten script from the superior princely states and British raj. What should I do in this regard? What other method is reliable to source. As I too want to upload the correct information. Tekariroyals (talk) 14:13, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

re: International Academy of Health Sciences Informatics
re: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:International_Academy_of_Health_Sciences_Informatics The Yearbook of Medical Informatics is a scholarly peer-reviewed scientific publication. It is independent of IAHSI which is an honorary academy of the International Medical Informatics Association. I have also added a citation to an article that appeared in Acta Informatica Medica which is another independent scholarly journal associated with the European Medical Informatics Association. I also added a citation to an article from a Chinese journal that talked briefly about this organization. I'm not sure what other type of "secondary" sources you might consider. On the page listing the current members of the IAHSI organization, I also added a few more citations to articles about several of the members. Is that the sort of thing you are looking for? thanks Dean Deanforrest (talk) 22:12, 9 January 2023 (UTC)


 * @Deanforrest Any sources about the organization but not by it work. The Acta Informatica Medica article is great.
 * Regardless of whether the Yearbook of Medical Informatics is independent of IAHSI itself, it really looks like a mission-statment type document which is primarily written by an organization. If my read of that is wrong, then that works too.
 * Mentions that are as brief as that Chinese article I would generally not count, but it, you've added enough new sources that it makes sense to resubmit for consideration from another editor, in any case. Rusalkii  (talk) 00:47, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

iNaturalist is user-generated and so not a reliable source.
Hello, my draft was rejected because I referenced iNaturalist as a source. Other articles I have created also have refences back to iNaturalist data removed as being unreliable. I wonder why this is so? Mainly because if I refences back to GBIF it is acceptable even though GBIF uses a lot of iNaturalist data. Edisstrange (talk) 04:33, 12 January 2023 (UTC)


 * I have since had this explained to me by another editor. life is good ! cheers Edisstrange (talk) 03:28, 13 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Glad to hear it! Rusalkii  (talk) 00:41, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Tekariroyals (talk) 14:11, 16 December 2022 (UTC)


 * @Tekariroyals does "handwritten script" in this case means that you have access to some kind of unpublished private archive of documents? Rusalkii  (talk) 01:28, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, like family details and incident occurred during the regime that was not published in newspaper but some of the other historian and the aided family have mentioned it in their books. Tekariroyals (talk) 07:42, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the late reply @Tekariroyals. If it's mentioned in other historian's work, that's a great source. In general unpublished sources are not suited for Wikipedia, since other people can't verify the information (see WP:SOURCE). Rusalkii  (talk) 23:58, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * So what should I do know? How to publish that unpublished source. Till the time I am working to get my source published you can approve basics information which I have submitted as it is sourced with reliable links and references.
 * Kindly tell me further process that I can help Wikipedia page to have correct information. Tekariroyals (talk) 05:13, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * @Tekariroyals I can't tell you how to publish it, that has nothing to do with Wikipedia. At minimum, you will want to scan them and put them up online somewhere.
 * Your draft will be reviewed by someone else, I generally don't re-review drafts. Rusalkii  (talk) 01:53, 22 January 2023 (UTC)

Minimum deletion time: The previous WP:NPP guideline was to wait 15 minutes before tagging for deletion (including draftification and WP:BLAR). Due to complaints, a consensus decided to raise the time to 1 hour. To illustrate this, very new pages in the feed are now highlighted in red. (As always, this is not applicable to attack pages, copyvios, vandalism, etc.)

New draftify script: In response to feedback from AFC, the The Move to Draft script now provides a choice of set messages that also link the creator to a new, friendly explanation page. The script also warns reviewers if the creator is probably still developing the article. The former script is no longer maintained. Please edit your edit your common.js or vector.js file from  to  '''

Redirects: Some of our redirect reviewers have reduced their activity and the backlog is up to 9,000+ (two months deep). If you are interested in this distinctly different task and need any help, see this guide, this checklist, and spend some time at WP:RFD.

Discussions with the WMF The PageTriage open letter signed by 444 users is bearing fruit. The Growth Team has assigned some software engineers to work on PageTriage, the software that powers the NewPagesFeed and the Page Curation toolbar. WMF has submitted dozens of patches in the last few weeks to modernize PageTriage's code, which will make it easier to write patches in the future. This work is helpful but is not very visible to the end user. For patches visible to the end user, volunteers such as and  have been writing patches for bug reports and feature requests. The Growth Team also had a video conference with the NPP coordinators to discuss revamping the landing pages that new users see.
